Zhou Hua always talks to his sister about everything, so naturally he has to ask his sister these questions.
Zhou Xiang analyzed for him, "First, my sister and I are in our own home, and these are our own parents. We can get angry a few times, but our parents will just tolerate it because they are their own daughters.
Even if our parents nag us, we endure it because they are our own parents and they are doing it for our own good.
Yes, my mother is very satisfied with Meizi, but you have to remember that there is no truly harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world, because they are all competing for a man's attention.
Unless the mother-in-law doesn't care much about her son or is confident in him, or, like my mother-in-law, she can't control her son at all,
Unless the daughter-in-law doesn't care about her husband, she won't compete with her mother-in-law for her husband's attention.
In our family, our mother can't be like those mothers-in-law who want to control their son, because you can't let her control him either. However, you can't just take our mother away, or abandon the child regardless of Mei Zi's wishes.
The reason? That's the second point. Because you're different from us. You live in Beijing as a small family, and Meizi is the one who makes the decisions about the daily life of the small family. Our mother went there to take care of Meizi during her confinement. Who should she listen to during the confinement period? Do you even need to ask?
Then the question arises, how can there be two people in charge of a family? These two people are the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, so conflicts are bound to arise.
Various conflicts caused by the generation gap will continue. If both of you endure it, they will definitely complain to you. If you don't endure it, you will definitely quarrel.
Unless, after Mei Zi becomes pregnant, she gives up her job there and comes home, in our family, she has no right to make decisions, nor does she need to make decisions. She just needs to wait happily for the birth of the baby and wait for someone to take care of her after the birth.
What you need to consider is what to do with the child when Mei Zi wants to go back to work? Should you leave the child behind or take him/her with you? If you take him/her with you, can you take good care of him/her?
Zhou Huatou was talking big. "Sister, after listening to your analysis, nothing works! If there are no children, there will be no conflicts, right?"
"So, don't you plan to have children?"
Zhou Hua shook his head, "Impossible, Mei Zi really wants a child."
"What I'm talking about are actually the problems faced by young couples working away from home. You actually have solutions."
When Zhou heard this, he immediately asked, "Tell me quickly."
"Everything needs a nanny, from taking care of Mei Zi's daily life, to the confinement period, to taking care of the child, all of which require money to hire a nanny. This will take several years, at least until the child goes to kindergarten.
However, if you prioritize your career, your children still need someone to pick them up from school, and a nanny is essential. You may need a nanny within the next ten years.
When hiring a nanny, you also need to consider their character. It is not appropriate to change nannies frequently during the period, and it is also not appropriate to hire someone with dishonest conduct."
Zhou Hua scratched his head, "Why isn't it happier to be single?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Tomorrow is the wedding day. If you want to be happy and sweet, don't rush to have children. If you want to have children, you have to consider the issues I just mentioned.
If Meizi is willing to let the child go, leave him at home, and you will have less things to worry about later. If Meizi is reluctant, don't worry about the money. It's better to hire someone to do the work than to cause family conflicts."
"After all, daughters are better, right? When sons marry, conflicts arise layer by layer."
"It's the same for children. Money can solve all problems! As for hiring a nanny, if you're willing to spend the money, you can hire one with good character. Don't all those wealthy families hire maids?"
"After listening to your analysis, I feel it's too difficult. The nanny we hire can only be a woman, and she can't be young, as it will cause conflicts between husband and wife. And an older one may not be easy to use."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Good, you know how to think about it. After tomorrow, you will officially be the head of the family, so you should put your heart and soul into it."
"Yes! I will discuss this with Mei Zi. You're only talking about the period before kindergarten. After school, there's also the issue of helping the child with homework. It's such a headache. No wonder my second sister happily packed up Jiankang for you. Even without someone to help take care of him at home, she can't handle it. We should think about this carefully."
After her youngest son left with a worried look on his face, Zhou's mother nodded at her daughter, "Don't discourage him too much, or he might not want to get married."
"You're so busy you're losing your mind. He's not single anymore, is he? I didn't even say that to him just now! Whether we have the banquet tomorrow or not, he's already a married man."
"Okay! I won't argue with you anymore. I'm going to go find your Aunt Wang and ask her to make the bed."
It was the turn of Lu Jin, Ding Fan and others who were off duty. They were sent to work at the Zhou family again. They carried hemp ropes in their hands and willow branches in their arms, climbing up and down to dismantle the hemp rope net and build a new rope net.
There was a notice posted at the park entrance. Xie Lin pushed Lu Zhaochong, who had posted it, away and wanted to tear it up:
【Family celebration, May Day closure】
What does "A Happy Family" have to do with the park? No, "Lu Zhaochong, do you have another one in your hand?"
Lu Zhaochong nodded. "This is from the pigpen. Stationmaster Xie, Boss Zhou said there will only be two piglet training sessions tomorrow afternoon, so we'll have a break in the morning."
Xie Ling quit. "Everyone is resting, why should I work? I won't do it!"
"Boss Zhou said he'll give you overtime pay."
Xie Lin still shook his head. "No, I haven't received any salary for seven years. Why should I ask for overtime pay?"
"Boss Zhou said that if you refuse, you will be fired."
Xie Ling choked and walked away.
Lu Zhaochong went to the steps of the pigpen, posted a notice next to the iron gate, and gave instructions to Chen Er and Chen San before going to the mall to find Zhou Nian.
