Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Rely on the parents-in-law? This is totally unacceptable...
Seeing that their parents were the only ones left in the room, the two children trotted in.
Ning Shiqiu has grown up. He hasn't had contact with his parents for a long time. He feels that he is a brother and a big boy. He can't act like a child and act like a spoiled child in front of his parents. He is a little embarrassed to get too close to them.
Ning Shixia was a three-year-old child who knew nothing, so he had no worries at all. As soon as he ran in, he stuck to Xiangxiang's mother.
She half-carried and half-dragged the skateboard with one hand, and held Zhao Ruyue's arm with the other hand, and asked in a baby voice, "Mom, are you tired?"
Zhao Ruyue subconsciously wanted to answer the same way as her children did every time they asked her a similar question in her previous life: Mom is not tired.
Before she could say anything, she met the innocent eyes of the child, and remembered that every time she said she was not tired, she was not really not tired. The tiredness did not disappear, but was accumulated in her heart, piling up more and more.
Until one day it suddenly explodes, leaving the child feeling very confused.
Zhao Ruyue hesitated again, and became cautious in dealing with this originally ordinary question.
For a moment, I didn't know what the correct answer should be.
If I say I'm not tired, will I repeat the mistakes of my previous life?
If you say you are tired, will it lead to another bad result?
The night before returning home, the problem that had troubled her and kept her tossing and turning in sleep suddenly took shape, leaving her a little overwhelmed.
But the child is just young, not a fool, especially since he is very smart and lively, and very observant.
Ning Shixia didn't know what embarrassment was because she didn't get an answer.
She learned it all by herself. After asking without getting an answer, she quickly changed to judging by her own observation: "Mom and Dad look tired. My brother and I have made the bed for you. Go and have some rest. You can eat after you have rested well."
Ning Shixia turned to look at Ning Shiqiu after she finished speaking: "Brother, is this okay? Dad and Mom just came back, and they just worked for a long time. They need to rest the most. If you don't go to have breakfast right away, grandma won't be angry, right?"
Zhao Ruyue knew that the older generation and people of her generation always had some stubborn rules for three meals a day, and they couldn't stand the young people's procrastination in eating.
We have to eat three meals a day at home, and unless there are any unexpected events, the meal times are almost the same every day.
Once it's time for dinner and the food is ready, you must come and eat immediately when called.
Anyone who eats slowly will be scolded, and is not allowed to say that they will eat later, or say that they have no appetite. Anyone who says they have no appetite will be criticized for being pretentious.
Ning Shiqiu said: "I asked grandma, she said that it doesn't matter whether mom and dad eat breakfast first and then rest, or rest first and then eat. If they rest first, the others can eat first, and just save their portion in advance."
Ning Shixia nodded, put down his precious skateboard, took Zhao Ruyue's hand, and turned to hold Ning Shaoming's hand: "I'll take you to rest!"
Ning Shaoming didn’t think as much as Zhao Ruyue. He was filled with satisfaction and pride thinking: the two children are so sensible. They feel sorry for their parents at such a young age. His children are indeed the most well-behaved, smart, lovely, sensible and clever!
The bed was not made when he moved his things into the room.
The two children must have seen that they were busy and tired, so they quietly went into the room to make the beds for them as a surprise!
Ning Shaoming took his free hand and held the hand of his son who was standing nearby and watching eagerly, then followed his wife and children to the room with a touched look on his face.
Zhao Ruyue had never expected this direction and that problem. Before she could react, they had already been arranged clearly by the two children.
She asked in surprise, "Have you two learned how to make the bed?"
Ning Shixia puffed up her chest proudly: "My brother and I learned it a long time ago!"
After saying this loudly, her voice weakened again, and she whispered: "It's just that I'm still weak and can't do it alone, so I helped my brother and sister Danping, and I also helped."
Ning Shiqiu added: "Yes, my sister and I made the bed together, and Sister Danping also helped. The quilt was too heavy for us to carry, so Sister Danping helped carry it out to dry in the sun. My sister and I dried the pillow and blanket."
In order to ask Sister Danping for help, he also promised Sister Danping in advance that when his parents brought back the bicycle they bought for him, he would lend the bicycle to Sister Danping to ride to school every Sunday when the next semester started, and then ride the bicycle to pick her up home on Friday afternoon.
She also had to keep it a secret from the other members of her uncle's family, so that Sister Danping could save the money for the bus fare as her own pocket money.
But this is their little secret, and he won't even tell his parents.
Zhao Ruyue changed into her pajamas, covered herself with a quilt and lay down on the bed before she came back to her senses from her trance.
She smelled the sun-kissed scent on the quilt, leaned over to Ning Shaoming's ear and whispered, "Are our two children too opinionated?"
They also knew to dry their quilts and make their beds in advance. If it weren't for the two children helping, no one would have remembered to do it for them, and they would have to do it themselves when they came back.
Rely on your parents-in-law? There is absolutely no way you can expect this to happen!
Ning Shaoming returned home and completely relaxed. He almost fell asleep. When he heard her words, he responded dazedly: "Isn't it a good thing to have your own opinions?"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Ruyue combined it with the comments of some young children she saw on the Internet in her previous life.
A light bulb went off in her head and she felt like she had grasped the key to something, but she was physically and mentally exhausted, and she fell into a deep sleep while thinking.
It was already noon when she woke up, but fortunately she didn't forget what she had thought about before going to bed.
I already have a vague idea of how to get along with the two children. The first thing is not to teach them if you don't understand. After all, the two children grew up well on their own during the years when I was not with them in my previous life. As for the rest... I still have to figure it out slowly.
After the couple got up, they began to pack their things to move into the room.
Take out the clothes, socks, scarves, gloves, etc. for both sets of parents and put them away separately.
Then take out the red plastic bag that you had prepared in advance and take out some of each of the bulk biscuits, candies, jellies, and fruits that you brought back.
Count the number of relatives to share, give each family a portion, and pack them in bags, making sure there are almost the same amount of cookies, candies, jellies and fruits in each bag.
When they come back from working outside, they all share things with their relatives in this way. Everyone is the same, and they are not the only ones.
In my hometown, no one thinks that bulk biscuits and candies are not high-end. After all, my hometown is not an economically developed place, and most people are not rich, so they cannot afford to eat them even if they want to.
Every Chinese New Year, families that have close relatives working away from home who come back to celebrate the holiday will get such a share. Families that don’t have relatives working away from home, or whose relationship is relatively distant, and who don’t get a share will envy those who get one, because with these shares, they don’t have to spend money to buy things for the Chinese New Year.
After they separated for a while, the door was opened and two little heads appeared at the door.
This time, Zhao Ruyue was not tired physically or mentally, and her mind was clear. She was not at all embarrassed to see the child.
When he saw them, he smiled and waved, “Come and help mom and dad.”
When the two children heard their mother say she wanted to help, their eyes lit up and they immediately opened the door and came in.
My sister jumped up and took the lead: "Mom, what should we do?"
My brother walked behind me like a little adult, and even knew to close the door.
Zhao Ruyue ordered the two "soldiers" without any hesitation: "Xiao Qiu will help distribute the cookies, Xiao Xia will help distribute the candies, and your father will be responsible for distributing the jelly and fruits."
Ning Shixia asked quickly, "What does mom do?"
When Zhao Ruyue heard what her daughter said, she thought that if she had been a fussy person in her previous life, she would probably think that her daughter was being argumentative and would not want to see her take a break.
But she is much more clear-headed now. The child is so young that he really doesn't have any complicated thoughts. He must just say whatever he wants to say. Adults must not think too much about it. Thinking too much will only bring trouble to yourself.
Zhao Ruyue said jokingly: "I am the commander, and I am specifically in charge of directing you to do your work!"
As expected, the child didn't think too much about it. When he heard her say this, he clapped happily: "Great! The commander on TV is the most powerful, and mom is the most powerful official in the family. I listen to mom!"
He even imitated what he saw on TV, standing at attention and saluting her: "Don't worry, sir, I will complete the mission!"
Then she began to count the candies carefully and meticulously, and the whole family was amused by her.
With the help of two "soldiers", the speed is indeed much faster.
After dividing the things, the two "soldiers" were still not satisfied.
Zhao Ruyue remembered the food that Wu Li and Huang Wenfa bought for them to take with them on the road before they came back.
Neither she nor Ning Shaoming ate much, and there was still more than half a bag of various breads and cakes left in the bag.
The bags in the supermarket were hardly touched, and the bags containing salt-baked chicken wings and salt-baked chicken legs were not even opened along the way.
Zhao Ruyue took out all of them and handed them to the two children: "Take a look at which ones you like to eat and keep the ones you like. I will divide some out later and send them to your sister Miaomiao and brother Xiaode, and give some to your cousins as well."
There are snacks!
Now even the little adult Ning Shiqiu couldn't help himself and jumped happily on the spot with his sister.
The brother and sister lined up the three bags neatly in a row like opening a blind box. They originally wanted to point out the bags they clicked on and open them first.
Unexpectedly, the salt-baked aroma and meaty flavor of the salt-baked chicken were so overbearing. The children could only eat meat once every few days, and their stomachs were not full, so they were completely unable to resist the temptation of meat.
Without bothering to call on the troops, they all looked at the bag in tacit understanding.
As soon as the bag was opened, the smell became stronger.
Ning Shixia took a deep breath of the fragrance and swallowed his saliva with a loud gulp.
She loved eating meat the most, and looked at Zhao Ruyue eagerly: "Mom, do you want to share this with others?"
Salt-baked chicken wings and chicken legs are relatively expensive, costing dozens of yuan for a little. Wu Li and Huang Wenfa just bought a few when they saw them, and there were not many in total.
Zhao Ruyue felt more sorry for her own children. She looked at the amount in the bag and said to the two children, "Eat all you can. Give some more bread to your brothers and sisters."
The two children cheered again and counted the number. They shared them one by one, and also gave some to their parents.
Ning Shaoming had eaten it in the hotel many times and brought it to Zhao Ruyue many times, but neither of them was greedy for it.
When they saw that their parents really didn't want to eat, they divided the food among themselves and started eating happily.
Watching the two children chewing the meat with such relish, they whispered that it was so delicious. The last time they had meat was three days ago.
The couple felt sad after hearing this.
