On Qiao Jiangxin's birthday, Qiao Youfu and Qiao Youcai came to the store early.
"Jiang Xin, this is the clothes your mother made for you with the cloth she bought last time. One set was made a while ago, but I forgot to bring it with me when I got the goods last time. So it happened to be delivered together this time."
Qiao Youcai handed a tightly wrapped package to Qiao Jiangxin.
Qiao Youfu also took out two notebooks with locks, "This is a new item from Liu Cuiyun. She said little girls like it, so I got two for you. Happy birthday, my little girl Jiang Xin."
Qiao Jiangxin took the gift and smiled happily, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, uncle."
"By the way, is everything okay at home?"
Qiao Youcai rubbed his hands with a smile on his face, "Good, it's fine. Jiang Mu eats more now and makes less noise at night."
Qiao Jiangxin looked at Qiao Youfu, "Where's my aunt? Is she okay?"
Qiao Youfu glanced at his brother and said, "Now that she is pregnant, I have listened to Vice Dean Wang and told Xue not to move around. I have not allowed her to do any work in the fields or at home. I don't know if it's because of her big belly, but her feet are swollen badly. Seeing her like this, Zhuzi Nai is worried and comes to our house all day long."
Qiao Youcai followed up, "Yes, thanks to Zhuzi Nai, the couple treated your aunt as their own daughter. I had discussed with your uncle that your aunt was in her advanced period, so I asked him to stay at home and I would go out alone.
But when your aunt found out, she didn't agree, saying that the work couldn't be delayed. Later, Zhuzi's grandmother knew that the family needed someone nearby, so she discussed it with us and decided to live in Zhuzi's room.
Otherwise, there is Jiangmu and Zhuzi in the family, and also your aunt. Your mother would not be able to cope with the situation if your uncle and I are not at home. ”
Qiao Jiangxin was silent for a moment. "Grandma Zhuzi is taking care of my aunt at our house, but what about Grandpa Zhuzi? He doesn't have a companion over there. He's already this old, and he doesn't have any relatives around him."
Qiao Youfu sighed, "Your aunt tried to persuade him, but he refused to come, saying that he wanted to stay at home for Zhuzi. He said Xujiadong was his home.
Your aunt-in-law said that Uncle Zhuzi was probably afraid that if both of them came, people would gossip about him, and he was also afraid that he would be disliked and affect Zhuzi.
Although he didn't live in our house, he came often. He went up the mountain to chop firewood for the house, often helped to work in the fields, and often filled the water jar for us. ”
Qiao Jiangxin looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, Grandpa Xu and Grandma Liao are good people. They are able to lend a hand now, but they have helped us a lot. We should remember their kindness.
My aunt-in-law is pregnant with more than one baby, so she needs someone to take care of her now, but she will be even more dependent on someone after she gives birth. Looking at how Grandma Liao is behaving now, she is willing to take over, which proves that she will lend a hand later.
You don't have any elders to help you take care of things, but even though they have this intention, we can't accept it with a clear conscience. ”
Qiao Youfu nodded, "I know, I remember it all."
Qiao Jiangxin shook his head, "Remember, don't be too fussy, you have to be a little more practical, they are already a generation old, they don't have any children, and Zhuzi is their only grandson, who is still a little bit young.
There's no one I can rely on for anything, and I don't have the ability to do anything for Zhuzi.
Living cautiously for fear of being disliked or being a burden to others actually means you lack confidence.
Since Grandma Liao is helping our family, you should give her a salary. ”
