Chapter 197 Grand Uncle
"Momo will have to go back to work in a few days. I want mom to help take care of the child for a while. We will give mom 10 yuan a month." Lu Changzheng said.
Li Yue'e waved her hand immediately, "It's no problem for me to help you take care of the child. Why pay? Which nurse doesn't want to take care of the child?"
The third child had asked her before, asking her to help take care of the child, which was naturally no problem, but she didn't expect that they would pay her.
"I also took care of your eldest brother and second brother's children. There is no reason to pay you."
"Mom, it's different. I want you not to go to work and take care of the child for us full-time." Lu Changzheng said, "We have two children, not just one, and you can still carry them to work."
He was also reluctant to let such a delicate child follow the adults outside in the wind and sun.
"Looking after the children doesn't affect my work. I don't have to do any work in the fields. I just cut grass for the pigs. Your grandfather is here, and there are so many nephews and nieces. I'll go cut grass for the pigs after the children fall asleep, and let them help look after the children."
"Yes, if that doesn't work, I'm still here." Lu Qing'an also spoke up. How can you ask for money for taking care of grandchildren? It will make people laugh if you tell others about it.
"We have separated..."
Lu Changzheng was interrupted by Lu Boming before he could say anything, "We have separated, but you are still the child's grandfather. Changzheng, if you think that taking care of the children affects your mother's work points, just buy her more food at the end of the year." Giving money is too distant.
Lu Boming had already spoken, so Lu Changzheng didn't say anything else. If he doesn't want money, then I can make up for it from other places.
Later, I will slowly persuade his mother not to go to work and stay at home to help take care of the children full-time.
So, the matter of taking care of the children was settled.
After returning from dinner, Lu Changzheng quickly took a shower and went into the house to play with the children.
The two little ones just took a nap during dinner and are now very energetic.
Lele was very cooperative and was amused to giggle, while An An watched speechlessly on the side.
The humans in this land of absolute spirits don't look very smart.
"Wife, why do I feel that our daughter-in-law looks like... very cold." Lu Changzheng said helplessly, and he had to use future words to describe it appropriately.
Aren't daughters-in-law all little cotton-padded jackets? Why doesn't his daughter-in-law like to pay attention to him?
"As an older sister, you're naturally calmer." Su Mo said. She's not being aloof, she's a baby's body with an adult's soul.
She had nothing to do during her confinement, so she's been secretly observing the two children.
Lele should have been born normally, but just a little smarter than ordinary children. An An should have memories of her past life.
Because she had an experience of having her superpowers sucked away, Su Mo couldn't help but worry whether An An would be a bad person.
But according to her observation, An An should not be a bad person, but she has a bit of a weird personality and is a bit defensive. She looks aloof and impatient from time to time, but she's actually very patient with Lele.
There were a few times when Su Yiyuan was not around, Lele woke up and cried, and Su Mo wanted to observe An An's reaction, so she pretended to sleep.
At first, An An would howl a few times to attract people, and when no one paid attention, she would also babble and wave her little hands to comfort her brother. Later, as long as her brother cried, An An would start to comfort him.
So in the eyes of Li Yue'e and the others, the two little ones are very easy to take care of and don't like to cry.
*******
The next day at noon, Jiang Yue and Ma Xiaojuan came to see Su Mo with their things after work.
They actually wanted to come a long time ago, but Su Mo was in confinement before, and they heard that her cousin was there again, so they didn't come.
This morning when I went to work, I heard people talking about the dragon and phoenix twins, and I knew that Su Mo had already finished the confinement, so I hurried over.
The two of them teased the children first, and the cute baby Lele naturally giggled to show his face, but the cold girl An An still ignored them.
"Su Mo, your daughter is quite a character." Ma Xiaojuan hugged An An and said with a smile.
Hey! The more she ignored her, the more she would tease her.
Finally, An An got annoyed and peed directly, which frightened Ma Xiaojuan so much that she almost jumped up, and quickly gave the child to Su Mo.
Su Mo naturally did not ignore the cunning in An An's eyes. She wiped her butt with a smile, changed her diaper, and tapped her little nose and said, "Don't play tricks on me next time."
After putting the children back on the kang, the three of them sat by the kang and chatted.
Jiang Yue took out two pairs of tiger-head shoes from the cloth bag, "Sister Su Mo, these tiger-head shoes were made by my sister and asked me to give them to you. She was very happy when she heard that you gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix twin."
Su Mo thanked and took it happily. Jiang Lan's craftsmanship is very good, and the tiger-head shoes she made are particularly beautiful.
Then, Jiang Yue took out two small clothes made of white cotton from the bag, "Sister Su Mo, I made these for the children, I hope you don't mind."
Su Mo unfolded them and saw that the two small clothes were very unique. At the corners of the clothes, the words "sister" and "brother" were embroidered with different colors of threads.
"Your craftsmanship is really good, the clothes are very beautiful, the children must like them very much, thank you, Jiang Yue." Su Mo thanked, "Have you learned to make clothes before?"
Jiang Yue smiled embarrassedly, "My mother taught me, my sister and I both learned it."
Her grandmother is a famous tailor, and she used to make clothes for rich people. Her mother said that this craft cannot be lost.
Su Mo looked at the clothes and shoes. This mother Jiang must be an extraordinary craftsman. Such talents should remember that there will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in a few years.
Ma Xiaojuan also took out the things she brought from her bag and handed them to Su Mo: "Su Mo, you know me, I don't have any cooking skills, so I bought two kilograms of brown sugar for you to replenish your body."
"I was just about to buy brown sugar, and you brought it to me now. We are really in sync." Su Mo smiled.
"Really? I hope you can use it." Ma Xiaojuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that the gift she gave was too light.
"How can we not use good things like brown sugar?"
Su Mo put away all the things, and the three chatted for a while. Finally, Su Mo said, "I heard from my wife that the primary schools in the brigade and the commune will recruit teachers next semester. You should prepare quickly. I estimate that the news will be announced in a few days."
Lu Changzheng told her this news a few days ago. The mining area is now stable. Some cadres and engineers' families will come here one after another. Naturally, there are more children, so another class must be opened.
The two heard this and their eyes lit up.
If they can pass the teacher exam, they won't have to work in the fields, and they can enjoy the average work points of the brigade, and they can also get a few yuan in subsidies every month.
"Okay, we'll go back and prepare." They all have their own rooms now, and they are not afraid of others knowing what they do in them.
After saying goodbye to Su Mo, the two hurried back.
Another two days passed.
Geng Changqing, who had been busy for more than a month, finally found time to come and see.
Geng Changqing came in a small car from the county, and he had to leave soon. When the car drove to the brigade headquarters, Su Mo and Li Yue'e were also walking their children there.
Seeing Geng Changqing, Li Yue'e smiled and said to the children, "An An Le Le, your great uncle is here to see you."
Geng Changqing's mouth twitched, and he had to hold back so as not to break his defense.
The woman who got off the car after Geng Changqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
