Chapter 1698 Twenty Years Later
Especially for mothers, no matter how young they look, the occasional white hair reminds them that the elders are getting older every day.
Zhai Xin thought for a moment, and coaxed Miao Liang, "Grandma, I want to be an air force soldier in the future. But I heard that the food in some units is particularly delicious. How about this, I want to learn a few tricks. You are one year older, and so am I. Grandma, don't forget that I am an adult. So, in the future, I will cook for you. Grandma, you won't dislike my poor cooking skills, right?"
Grandma is already over 60 years old. If she didn't love her grandson, she would never have gone to the kitchen to cook such a table of dishes even though she is almost 70 years old. Even though most of the dishes were cooked by mom and grandma is now helping her, it is still very hard work.
"Not good?" Zhai Yaohui snorted. "Your grandma raised you up and spent so much time and effort on you. If you cook a bad dish, do you have the nerve to invite your grandma to eat? If you don't cook well, go and learn until you are good. We are too old to be your test materials. When you succeed, bring the best and most satisfactory finished product to me and your grandma."
Can I eat the food cooked by Erbao? Will it cause poisoning?
Thinking about how he could never master his cooking skills, and looking at his second child who looked most like him, Zhai Yaohui's eyes were filled with distrust.
When she was young, Miao Liang got pregnant and gave birth to Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng. Sometimes, the elders did not arrive in time, and as Miao Liang's husband, Zhai Yaohui had to take the responsibility of taking care of Miao Liang temporarily. Unfortunately, the soup stewed by Zhai Yaohui tasted like poison.
Miao Liang drank it only once, and she never forgot it. What made Zhai Yaohui even more embarrassed was that he wanted to be considerate to Miao Liang, but he didn't expect to lose such a big shame. Zhai Yaohui clearly remembered that when he stewed the soup, he always followed the instructions of others and didn't add any messy things on his own initiative. However, after Miao Liang drank it, she almost ran out of milk to feed the baby. Something stimulated her.
Since then, Zhai Yaohui has given up practicing cooking. If he really wants to be considerate to Miao Liang, he would rather show it in other aspects. It is better not to expose his shortcomings in front of others in the future.
Because of this "experience", Zhai Yaohui reacted strongly when he heard what Zhai Xin said. He was always more reliable than Zhai Xin, because after drinking the soup he cooked, Miaomiao had no milk. If Miaomiao ate the food cooked by Erbao, would she go straight to the hospital? The cost was really too high.
After thinking for a while, Zhai Yaohui changed his words and said, "You are not. If you want to be an air force soldier, your goal must be to fly in the sky, not to hide in the cafeteria as a mate. You don't have to cook or learn. We have hired an aunt. Your grandmother is not in good health, so the aunt will do the housework. You don't have to worry about these things."
Originally, Zhai Yaohui thought that he and Miao Liang were living a very good life with Qiao Nan, their daughter-in-law, taking care of them.
However, since his son, who had a similar temper to him, was present, Zhai Yaohui swallowed the words and didn't say them out loud. At this time, the aunt that the family had paid for came in handy and became an excuse for Zhai Yaohui to save face.
Hearing what Lie Yaohui said, Miao Liang obviously thought of that special "taste" memory and smiled gloomily. At that time, she was a mother for the first time, and Lao Zhai was a father for the first time. Her mother-in-law was not in good health, and her father-in-law had been trying to take time out to accompany her and take care of her. She followed the army and lived in the army with Lao Zhai.
Therefore, when she gave birth, her mother-in-law was not by her side to take care of her. It was not until she gave birth to Zhai Hua that her mother-in-law thought that Zhai Hua was not good at taking care of people, and she hurried to the army to prepare confinement meals for her.
Because she drank Lao Zhai's soup, she almost had no milk and was hungry for several meals, which made her mother-in-law so angry that she scolded Lao Zhai for a long time. Lao Zhai was good at everything, but his cooking skills were really beyond praise.
However, it was not easy to drink soup cooked by your husband at that time. Zhai Yaohui was willing to do such a thing on his own initiative, and in turn made soup for a woman. Miao Liang, who was in confinement, was very moved and felt that Zhai Yaohui was a good man.
You know, after her parents passed away, she followed her uncle to work. She usually lived in her own home, and only shared the table with her uncle's family when eating. Because of this, Miao Liang saw too many examples in the village that once a woman gave birth and was in confinement, her husband never offered to help.
It's OK if there is a mother-in-law willing to help, but those women who don't have a mother-in-law can't live peacefully even during the confinement period. Except that they don't have to work in the fields, exposed to the wind and sun. But during the confinement period, all the housework is done by themselves.
Compared to that kind of woman, she was much happier, having met a good man. The more she thought Zhai Yaohui was good, the more nervous Miao Liang was about him, not wanting to lose him. Plus, with Qi Minlan pressing her every step, when she was young, Miao Liang focused all her attention on Zhai Yaohui, neglecting the growth of her two children.
Now at this age, when she thinks back to the things that happened when she was younger, Miao Liang finds that she has become much calmer. She is no longer as cynical as before. Whenever she thinks of the three words "Qi Minlan", she feels itchy with hatred.
No matter what, Old Zhai married her, a country girl who knew nothing at the time and could not even recognize many words, because her father had saved his father-in-law's life. In just a few years, he turned her from a country girl working hard in the fields into the envied wife of a leader.
"Actually, I've lived a pretty blessed life." Miao Liang couldn't help but blurt out whatever was on her mind.
Zhai Yaohui's expression changed, and he held Miao Jing's hand tightly: "It's New Year's Day, what's the point of talking about a lifetime? You still have a long life to live. When you and I can't walk anymore and need someone to push you around, then you can spend the rest of your life with me."
I didn't feel comforted when I heard Miao Liang's words during the Chinese New Year. I even felt a little bit heart-pounding. People are living well, why would they feel sad about their lives? You know, they still have a long way to go in their lives. Only those who are about to reach the end of their lives will talk about their lives.
"That's right, grandma, you're still so young, and you and mom are like sisters, like a lifetime. If you want to talk about this topic, wait another 20 years."
