Chapter 61 Learning to Make a Fire
So, this time as a mother she decided to go in person, hoping to help her daughter learn to face the difficulties and challenges in life more maturely through her own words and deeds.
There is no such thing as smooth sailing in life.
To be honest, Bai Youcai is already very lucky.
The little happiness in life created small ripples in her heart, although this could not cover up all her difficulties and challenges.
At this moment, Bai Youcai's mother had arrived at the gate of the Li family.
The old man looked a little tired after a long journey, but he smiled warmly the moment he saw his daughter, which made the originally silent courtyard instantly become much warmer.
When Bai Youcai saw his mother coming to visit, his face was full of joy and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Although the family's financial situation was not good, she still tried her best to make her mother feel welcome and comfortable.
So she quickly took out money and went to the market to buy meat to entertain the guests.
This action implies deep affection for the mother and the filial duty a daughter should fulfill.
Her mother did not stop her from doing this little thing.
Perhaps she was considering Bai Youcai's good intentions, or perhaps she wanted to make her arrival seem less abrupt. After all, a mother always hopes to see her children be able to handle various situations encountered in life independently.
But when Bai Youcai wanted to leave the child to his mother to help take care of him, he was opposed.
The mother's eyes were full of worry and reluctance. She knew that if she took over at this time, it would not only disrupt the original family plan, but would also likely cause Bai Youcai to lose the opportunity to grow.
"It's time for you to start taking on the responsibilities of a mother in the true sense of the word."
Although these words were not spoken, they were deeply engraved in the hearts of both of them.
Not only that, Bai's mother simply asked her to lock the door and go out to buy meat together.
This is not only a practical support, but also means an invisible trust - believing that his daughter can remain calm and handle it properly in such a situation.
The old lady carried all the meat and tofu in her hands, while the child remained in her mother's arms.
This thoughtfulness and care not only demonstrates the greatness of maternal love, but also prepares for the subsequent family reunion.
There is an unspoken power between them, which makes people feel that they can overcome any difficulties together.
Their little one is now over two years old and is at the age where he is active and ready to explore the world.
Although he can walk a few steps, the country roads are rugged and difficult to travel on, and there are many safety hazards, so every time they go out, adults usually hold the child tightly to feel at ease.
This kind of care is not only for safety reasons, but also the most sincere expression of family affection.
After returning home, Bai Youcai complained to his mother that his hands were tired from holding the baby for too long and hoped that his mother could cook.
There was a hint of helplessness and pleading in her tone, as if she was telling about all the hardships and difficulties she had experienced as a new mother.
"You seldom cooked at home since you were a child, and you haven't practiced in the kitchen much since you got married here. Today, I will only be responsible for guiding you from the sidelines, so how about letting you try it yourself?"
The mother's words were calm and firm, and it was obvious that she already had clear goals and plans.
She believes that this method can effectively improve her daughter's ability to take care of herself and lay a solid foundation for the future.
Seeing the unhappy expression on her daughter's face, Bai Youcai's mother did not compromise, but continued in a gentle but powerful tone: "From now on, all matters at home will be decided by you alone. I can help you once or twice, but I can never serve you every day. So you must learn to adapt to this responsibility as soon as possible."
These words are like a guiding light, illuminating the direction for Bai Youcai to move forward. At the same time, they are also telling her that the path to growth is not destined to be smooth, but it is worth the effort.
While the two were arguing, there was a little listener in the kitchen. It was Zhang Mingfeng and Zhu Fangfang's one-year-and-two-month-old grandson, whose nickname was Dongdong. This name was taken from the good wishes for his future life, hoping that he would be as energetic and joyful as jumping. According to family rules, the names of this generation should contain the word "zhi", so his official name is Shu Zhixin.
This name represents the elders' hope for their children to have a wise life in the future, and it also becomes the beginning of a small life story.
Currently, there are only three young members in the entire Li family, which makes the entire family look a little deserted and lonely.
During every important festival or gathering, the huge banquet hall always lacks the vitality and lively atmosphere that young people should have.
The old lady felt this way
In fact, Kuang also felt a little resentful. She often thought that if her daughter was a little smarter, she should have considered adding to the family earlier.
In that way, we would not have overlooked the various contributions Zhao Chunhua had made.
You know, as a member of the youngest generation of the Li family, Zhao Chunhua almost single-handedly supports the entire young face store and bears a lot of extra responsibilities and pressure.
In this case, while cooking, you have to pay attention to the lively children around you. For adults who are not good at dealing with children's affairs, this is definitely a big challenge.
Children are full of energy and are always unwilling to stay still for a moment. If you are not careful, they may get into trouble or danger.
Faced with this situation, Bai Youcai still felt very aggrieved, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction and confusion.
Why does everyone praise her mother-in-law?
Even his own mother seemed to think so.
This made her start to doubt whether she had not done well enough, or whether the image of her mother-in-law had left such a deep and good impression in the hearts of people around her that no one could surpass it?
Therefore, out of spite, he refused to accept any form of help or guidance and decided to prove that he was not completely incompetent.
She rolled up her sleeves and started to busy herself, as if she wanted to refute with her actions those who belittled her housekeeping skills.
Although she knew that doing so might bring her more trouble and trouble, she still insisted on her own opinion and was unwilling to bow to reality easily.
Because she usually paid attention to maintaining her appearance, her mother forced her to practice fire-making skills by the stove before she got married.
During that period, although I learned the basic operating methods, the time was too short and I didn't really grasp the essence of it.
What's more, at that time I was more like being forced to complete the task, and I didn't put much enthusiasm into the process.
