The two families reached a rare consensus and decided to find someone to take care of the baby during the confinement period in the staff quarters.
Afterwards, Tiantian and Song Shuqian helped each other and were determined not to look for their relatives in their hometown.
The four of them ate up all the food on the table, and even the soup was eaten by the two men by dipping it in the steamed buns.
After dinner, the men went to clear the table, while Song Shuxi and Tiantian walked around the house.
After making sure no one could hear, Song Shuqian whispered to Tiantian, "What will Liu Xinguo say if you don't let your mother-in-law come over?"
In the eyes of Song Shuxi, an old-fashioned person, family is very important and good communication is necessary before making a decision, otherwise these things may become the fuse of conflict between the couple later.
Tiantian also whispered, "Don't be fooled by Lao Liu's carefree appearance, he is actually very considerate. In the past, he only kept a few dollars of his monthly allowance for himself and sent the rest back home. My mother-in-law said to save it for him.
We needed money for our wedding, so he asked my mother-in-law for it, only to find out that the money had been given to his other brothers. What my father-in-law said was justified. Among the brothers in the family, whoever has the ability should help the one with less ability.
It sounds nice, but in fact it is just sucking Lao Liu's blood. Old Liu didn't say anything, and after that he gave me pension every year, 5 yuan a month, and no more. Why do you think my mother-in-law is so nice to me? On the one hand, she feels guilty, and on the other hand, she thinks that I am easy to talk to and can help the others in the future if they have any problems.
It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Even if I am doing the confinement myself, I cannot let them come. "
Song Shuqian quickly hit her, "What's the use of gods or not? How can you say that? Just make your decision. My mother said that the closest relationship is between husband and wife. Whether it is close or distant depends on management. As long as the husband and wife work together, they can always find a suitable way to get along.
Your husband, Mr. Liu, is a very good person. He always stands by you and is of the same mind as you. "
During this conversation, Song Shuxi thought she was whispering, but the two men in the kitchen were trained and could hear it clearly.
Wei Jianguo and Liu Xinguo looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
After seeing them off, Wei Jianguo accompanied Song Shuxi for a walk because their home was too small and they could not get enough exercise.
Mo Ying and Lightning were there with him.
The two walked and looked at the Spring Festival couplets in each house.
"Wife, our Spring Festival couplets are the most beautiful in the family compound. The calligraphy is beautiful and the content is good."
Song Shuqian admitted this openly, and she also thought that her writing was the best.
Walking back home slowly, Song Shuxi was already very sleepy. She was used to taking a nap every day, and it was a little late today.
He went back and lay on the kang and started snoring.
Looking at the heavy snow outside, Wei Jianguo walked towards the river with his fur jacket. The snow on the river was very thick.
Spread the fur coat on the snow and hit it repeatedly with a stick to beat out all the dirt inside.
Cotton-padded jackets and clothes made of leather cannot be washed. People here will choose a snowy day and take it out to beat it like this.
This washes very cleanly.
I met my sister-in-law who was also out washing things.
He greeted him and said, "Captain Wei, why are you washing leather?"
"My wife is not very strong, so I can wash these things quickly." Wei Jianguo didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. His wife really can't take a shower, it's so cold.
The sister-in-law was very envious, "Captain Wei is so good to his wife. Your wife is about to give birth, right?"
"It's almost time. The due date is in March."
As they were talking, a few more sisters-in-law came over and knocked on the clothes.
Wei Jianguo was quick and went back after washing.
As soon as he left, the topic turned to him.
"I never thought that Captain Wei really loves his wife. I heard that he washes all the clothes at home and he doesn't want his wife to do any housework."
"Xiao Song is a good person. You can see that Xiao Song is usually very gentle. When we were chatting before, she was knitting a sweater for Captain Wei."
"In the past, Captain Wei wore a military coat in the winter, and his cotton shoes were also issued by the army. You see, this year, they have all changed into new ones. I heard from my old Zhang that Captain Wei's wife is very kind to him. She made him a new cotton coat and bought him horsehair rubber-soled boots. Apart from anything else, he looks a little fatter this year."
"I just look good. I can tell it's good at a glance."
In the past, people didn’t have much contact with Song Shuqian because they thought she was aloof and looked down on others. Ever since she became pregnant, she always followed Tiantian out to watch the fun and became familiar with the sisters-in-law in the compound. Then everyone realized that she didn't look down on others, but she didn't know how to get along with them.
She is not the kind of capitalist lady who uses Captain Wei as a shield. She lived her life with Captain Wei seriously. Take good care of Captain Wei inside and out.
Knowing this, no one has any problem with her.
There was no point in talking about her, so everyone changed the subject. "Why are you guys coming out to wash clothes on New Year's Day?" said an aunt.
"Whether it's Chinese New Year or not, life has to go on. It's not easy to find a good day to wash your jacket."
"My son is in the army, my daughter-in-law is at work today, and the kids are out playing. I'm the only one left, so I might as well get out and do some work."
What this aunt said is the real situation now. Not taking a break on the 30th, working hard on the 1st and revolutionizing the New Year is the mainstream idea now.
Song Shuxi and the others chose to have lunch at noon because Wei Jianguo and Liu Xinguo had to be on duty in the evening.
By the time Wei Jianguo got home and finished packing, it was already past four o'clock.
Song Shuqian woke up in a daze.
"Wei Jianguo".
"Hey, my wife is here, I'm here. What's wrong? Is your leg hurting again?" Wei Jianguo ran into the house when he heard the voice. Song Shuxi has been suffering from leg cramps recently, and sometimes she would wake up from the pain while she was sleeping.
"No, I just called you. What time are you leaving?"
"There's still half an hour left. Get up when you wake up. You won't be able to sleep at night if you continue sleeping. I'll try to come back early at night. Tian Tiantian will be here soon." Wei Jianguo is now very skilled at helping Song Shuxi get up.
After listening to his chatter, Song Shuxi took out a dried shrimp, a bag of dried squid, and a bag of sugar from the treasure gourd. "This is what Tiantian and I bought in the village below. It's delicious. You can bring it over and share it with everyone. When I give birth next year, I will invite everyone to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner."
Logically speaking, people who have a good relationship with Wei Jianguo and are not married should come to his house for dinner today. But Song Shuxi is now in her advanced stage of pregnancy, so it is really inconvenient, so I can only give her something.
Wei Jianguo was very grateful to his wife, "Please keep the prawn cakes. They are hard to buy. Just give them something else."
Song Shuqian found his stingy look very cute, but her tone was firm, "Just give them this. I bought it in Sijiu City, so it has a different meaning. When you have time, help me build a grill in the yard. The blueprint is with Tiantian. Then we can barbecue and so on. I'll bring delicious food to everyone then."
Wei Jianguo naturally agreed immediately.
Ever since he realized the problems with his training last time, he often used the things given by his wife as prizes, and asked his subordinates to form teams to fight against him, and the winner would get a prize.
This can train their tacit understanding and improve each other's combat effectiveness.
Now Wei Jianguo can fight ten people alone without any difficulty, he is terribly strong.
At the same time, Wei Jianguo often pulls Liu Xinguo to train together. The two of them now cooperate very smoothly and can understand each other's intentions with just a glance.
