It was difficult for others to raise opinions, but if the eldest sister-in-law came forward, the parents-in-law would definitely think twice. Chen Yuhe was dreaming and wanted to use Su Yan's hand to stop this matter.
Su Yan is not stupid. Her feet are on their bodies. What right does she have to interfere with her parents-in-law?
Seeing that Su Yan couldn't be persuaded, Chen Yuhe had no choice but to go back and find a solution. She thought it would be best if she got pregnant in the next two months, so that her mother-in-law would definitely stay at home for the New Year because of the baby in her belly.
The summer vacation finally arrived in July. As soon as the children had their vacation, they crowded into Su Yan's house to watch TV every day. In the evening, Lu Ting carried the TV to the open space on the first floor and let them watch TV downstairs.
Lu Fengnian would come over sometimes, but he didn't have any TV tickets and hadn't bought a TV yet.
Lu Ting knew that his father had actually gotten a ticket for a TV show last month, but for some reason he gave it to another leader. Lu Ting didn't care and didn't try to get a ticket for him.
On July 22, Hua Min was taken to Lu Chen's home. His wife is going to give birth to their second child at the end of next month.
Hua Min had just been gone for half a month when Chen Yuhe said that her period was delayed for a few days and she might be pregnant.
It’s already there, there’s already a son and a daughter, Lu Jin doesn’t feel much when he knows about it.
Lu Fengnian was a little worried. He now had a lot of grandchildren. If his wives had fewer children, they wouldn't have to work so hard.
His wife went to Xiaochen's house to take care of his daughter-in-law, so he has to stay alone in the empty room every night. After his wife takes care of Xiaochen's wife, she has to take care of Xiaoyu's wife. It is a question whether she can come back this year.
For the sake of his wife, he might have to go to Xiaoyu's house to celebrate the New Year.
Another week passed, and Chen Yuhe was finally sure she was pregnant, so she urged Lu Jin, "Write a letter to your mother and tell her I'm pregnant."
"What do you want to do? If you're pregnant now, you have to wait until the first half of next year to give birth. Even if you don't write, Dad will call Mom when he misses her, and he will definitely tell her about the situation at home."
Lu Jin understood that even if his mother knew that his wife was pregnant, she would not be particularly excited, and would not come back immediately.
Lu Chen's wife is going to give birth to her second child next month. His mother will definitely take care of his wife during the confinement period, and then rush to Xiaoyu's house to take care of Xiaoyu's pregnant wife.
"Lu Jin, what should we do if our parents spend the New Year at Xiaoyu's house?"
"We can celebrate the New Year at home by ourselves. Look, my elder brother and his wife also celebrate the New Year at home by themselves."
"Do you know how much money it costs to celebrate the New Year? The three children need new clothes, and I have to give gifts to my parents and your uncle's family. I also have to prepare the New Year's goods and dishes myself.
If my parents are at home, my brother will bring us New Year's goods and vegetables. If they are not at home, we have to buy them ourselves."
"Just buy it. We have money. Even if our parents are at home during the Spring Festival, we don't need to buy food and New Year's goods, so we still have to pay."
"But they're not at home, and you have to go to work. Who's going to help me with the chores? Lanlan's already grown up and hasn't even washed a single bowl. I don't know what your mother wants to do."
Chen Yuhe felt that her mother-in-law was too indulgent to Lu Yilan. Not only did the eleven-year-old girl not know how to wash clothes, she couldn't even wash dishes. If she ordered Lanlan to wash the dishes, her mother-in-law would take the initiative to help her do the work.
It's not her fault as a stepmother that Lanlan didn't grow up with her biological mother, which makes it difficult for her now. She doesn't know whether to teach her or not.
Her daughter Manman is only five years old and sometimes helps her out. Lu Yilan acts like the eldest daughter of the Lu family, as if everyone owes her something.
"Lanlan's grades aren't good, and Mom feels bad for her. She wants her to study hard."
"Haha, look at you, sister-in-law, Lu Yiming has such good grades, and he has been doing housework since he was a child. He is not even twelve years old yet, but he can cook a large table of dishes.
Lu Yirou will only be six next month, but she can already make fried rice with eggs. In the summer, they wash their own clothes, and in the winter, when it’s cold, my sister-in-law will do the laundry for them.”
Su Yan was indeed trying to train the children's self-care ability so that when they grow up and leave their parents, they can take care of themselves.
When they grow up and take college entrance exams, Su Yan will definitely find a way to send them to study abroad. If her children can't do anything, will she have to go with them to study and be a nanny abroad? She will not do that.
So when the children were five years old, Su Yan let them wash their own clothes, dishes and sweep the floor. They started learning to cook when they entered primary school, starting with egg fried rice and noodles.
Of course, the water is too cold in winter, so Su Yan won’t let them wash those cotton jackets and the like. She usually throws those clothes into the space washing machine to wash.
Lu Ting took the children to watch TV downstairs and moved the only bamboo bed in the house downstairs. Su Yan was picking watermelons, cantaloupes and strawberries in the space.
She plans to use the watermelon field to plant radishes so that she can dry more radishes at the end of the year.
Use the peanut field to grow various vegetables, and use the sweet potato field to grow garlic, celery and coriander.
After harvesting the last batch of peppers, eggplants, bitter melons, cucumbers, beans... in October, free up these vegetable plots and plant potatoes and corn next spring.
Next year, the thirty acres of rice and sorghum will be changed to wheat and cotton. In short, the crops in these fields will be rotated every year.
After Su Yan finished her work, she stood up and took out a chilled watermelon from the refrigerator. She left the space and brought the watermelon soaked in well water in the bucket back into the space.
After locking the door, he went downstairs with a palm-leaf fan. As soon as he got downstairs, he found that his bamboo bed was full of children, and Lu Ting and Lu Fengnian were sitting on small stools smoking.
It's almost nine o'clock, and these people have no plans to leave. Do they want to see the station close at twelve o'clock?
When Lu Ting saw Su Yan coming down, he quickly put out his cigarette and picked up the small stool and handed it to Su Yan.
"Let me give you a seat on the stool for a while. I'll fan you."
