294 I blame myself for my bad fate
Going back to her parents' home for the New Year, Qilian would be lying if he said he wasn't moved.
But she couldn't escape the social consensus and was troubled for a long time.
He said that he would send some gifts to Qijia Village before the New Year, and he and Jiang Yu would stay at home to celebrate the New Year.
After a while, he said that he should call his two younger brothers to live in the Jiang family courtyard.
After much hesitation, Jiang Baohai still couldn't make up his mind until the day he was going to send Gao Qinghe and her daughter back to Shanghe Village.
It’s the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.
The streets of the town are now lined with stalls selling New Year goods, and it is as lively as a market every day.
New Year's goods must be prepared in advance, and Qi Lianxin doesn't have much time to hesitate.
Seeing his daughter-in-law dressed up beautifully, holding his equally adorable granddaughter in his arms as they got on the car to go back to her parents' home, Qilian said angrily:
"Okay, I'll go back if you go back!"
Anyway, the sons and granddaughters of the Jiang family don’t care about his ancestor, so why should she, who has the surname Qi, worry about it!
Qi Lianxin threatened himself in his heart, turned around and called Jiang Yu, went to the street to buy a large cart of New Year's goods, and asked someone to send it to Qijia Village in advance so that his brothers and sisters could prepare it.
My aunt is going back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year. This is the first time for her in the Qi family.
Both of the Qi family's aunts didn't know how to react.
However, when he saw the New Year's goods that were brought over, he happily started to prepare them, just waiting for his aunt to come back and perform well in front of her.
Jiang Baohai sent his wife and children to Shanghe Village. After having lunch, he reluctantly returned alone.
My parents, grandma, and younger sister are all at home and have free time.
Gao Qinghe said without exaggeration that she had never held a child since she entered the house.
Now Jiang Qiyue has one breastfeeding meal in the morning and one in the evening, and eats complementary food or milk powder the rest of the time. Except for the first one in the morning and evening, anyone can take care of her.
Gao Qinghe plans to completely wean her daughter off breast milk after the Chinese New Year.
It’s not that she has no milk, but the little cub is starting to grow teeth and always likes to bite it, which almost hurts her to death.
Gao Qinghe is not the kind of person who would endure pain just for her child to have a few more meals of milk.
The fact that the pregnancy can be extended until the new year is the result of the overflow of maternal hormones.
Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai cannot reach a consensus on raising children.
She mainly focuses on respecting children's nature.
If your little one loves to explore, then let her explore, even if she gets a little dirty.
Jiang Baohai is different. This is his precious only daughter, who will live a luxurious life.
You are not allowed to touch this or that. It is best to live in a sterile environment.
Unfortunately, the total time he spends taking care of the children every day is less than one-tenth of Gao Qinghe's.
This also means that children will definitely listen to their mother more.
Gao Chongyi and Gao Qingya scrambled to hold the baby.
If it weren't for the freezing cold, the two would have wanted to take the children for a walk around the village to show off their eldest granddaughter and little nephew.
Huang Ying is busy all year round and rarely takes a few days off, so she tries to catch up on sleep.
After getting enough sleep, he lies down and waits for his mother to feed him.
Gao Qinghe followed suit, lying beside his mother and waiting for his grandmother to feed him.
Old Mrs. Tian worked hard to make various snacks for the mother and daughter, while she stood around the stove, laughing and scolding:
"They are really two ghosts who came to collect debts!"
The mother and daughter, who were lazily leaning on the sofa and warming themselves by the fire, looked at each other and smiled happily.
When Gao Qinghe passed by the door of the old house on his way here, he saw signs of human life.
Now that I had the chance, I asked my mother, "Are there any volunteer teachers coming this year?"
"Yes." Huang Ying said with a helpless smile, "It's still Teacher Hao."
"Oh, by the way, Ouyang Yan is back with the children. Zhou Zhenghua's second sister-in-law made a big fuss, so Zhong had to come back to take care of the two children together."
What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. In a rural family with many brothers, if the old grandmother and the old man cannot maintain a good balance, there will definitely be a lot of resentment in the family.
Gao Qinghe asked in surprise, "The Zhong family is so powerful, how dare Chunfang make trouble?"
Huang Ying pointed towards the Zhou family with a gossipy look on her face and said mysteriously:
"Zhou Zhenghua's second sister-in-law Chunfang is pregnant again. I heard she even went to see a capable immortal, and it's 100% certain it's a boy."
What does Zhong want most?
It was her most beloved youngest son Zhou Zhenghua who gave her a big fat grandson.
The second is that the Zhou family can have a grandson.
What I want most is no longer possible, so the second best option is also good.
That's why Chunfang confidently called her mother-in-law back to help her take care of the children.
Although she didn't usually work in the fields, she would take the maid for a stroll and occasionally sow seeds on two mu of vegetable garden.
But having the mother-in-law take care of the children is a symbol of family status.
Now the eldest child can’t give birth, and the third child can’t give birth again.
The Zhou family still wants a grandson, and that all depends on her, so she is naturally confident.
Huang Ying lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Ouyang Yan quit her official job at the school because she had a big fight with her parents over this matter, so she came back to the village."
When Gao Qinghe first heard this, he thought his mother was talking about some stupid plot in a TV drama.
Who would have thought that this was actually true.
"What is she thinking? Did she get kicked in the head by a donkey? She quit her stable job and doesn't want to live like this anymore?" Gao Qinghe was shocked.
The book only says that Ouyang Yan died, but it doesn't say that she had a mental problem.
Look, even the system Dongdong in her mind fell silent after hearing the news.
Huang Ying shook her head. "Who knows her? Maybe she has her own difficulties."
"After all, it's normal for a mother to be reluctant to leave her child. Besides, Zhou Zhenghua's mother is like that. At most, she can only help out, cook, wash diapers, etc., and there's nothing else she can do."
After all, it’s because the mother-in-law can’t help.
However, women who have raised children know that even if someone can help prepare the meal, it will be a great relief.
Otherwise, why would Ouyang Yan return to the village? To glare at her sisters-in-law?
"Is her child so difficult to raise?"
Gao Qinghe felt that her daughter was easy to take care of. She would sleep after eating, play after waking up, and continue sleeping when she was tired of playing.
Her mother-in-law still has time to continue making buttons part-time.
Gao Qinghe thought that even if he was alone, he could still raise his daughter well.
Huang Ying rolled her eyes at her daughter in anger, "That's because your daughter doesn't follow you. You don't know what you tortured me and your father to death when you were little."
"Of the three of you siblings, Yaya is the easiest to take care of. She's been in good health since she was little, never been sick, and never cries or makes a fuss. I think Qiyue has taken after her aunt, so she's much easier to take care of."
After complaining, he gave Gao Qinghe an unpleasant look, saying that he really didn't know how to appreciate what he had.
Gao Qinghe shrugged. Is it my fault that I have such a good life?
Huang Ying is not convinced, but I am lucky.
Old Mrs. Tian walked into the house carrying a large bowl of fried meatballs. Seeing the two lazy guys lying on the sofa, she put the bowl down with a bang.
"Hurry up and eat, you two living ancestors! You two are lucky, but I have the hardest life!"
After he finished speaking, he saw his daughter and granddaughter burst out laughing, and he couldn't hold back his stern face and started laughing.
"Grandma, eat first~"
Gao Qinghe picked up a meatball and put it into grandma's mouth attentively, "Grandma, you have worked hard!"
The salty and fragrant fried meatballs were so sweet to Mrs. Tian that she found them to be as sweet as honey.
