Xun Liangfen said, "He's our eldest grandson, but he's also their grandson-in-law..."
Hua Baoguo interrupted her, "Then will you help Xiaoguai take care of the child in the future?"
"..." Xun Liangfen didn't dare to respond. This family doted on Hua Xiangyun to an almost unbearable degree. She was afraid that if she nodded now, they would take the blame later.
She wouldn't even take care of her own grandson, let alone her grandson from another family.
"Look, you yourself aren't that generous."
"We're bringing our daughter-in-law into the family, not having our son move in with us. This is our family's business. Even if you, as the mother-in-law, can't offer financial support, that would be fine too."
Hua Baoguo had already taken out paper and started keeping accounts, saying, "When your salary is used to support your grandson, I'll have to be even more careful with my salary."
"I need to give money for household expenses and also help support the children..."
Xun Liangfen asked, "Then how are we going to live?"
Hua Baoguo looked up at her and said, "We have a lot of clothes, so you should buy less for the next few years."
Did our family have to tighten our belts during the years we were in school?
Hearing these arrangements being made one by one, Xun Liangfen collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed). She had thought she could save some money for her retirement, but this family was such a bottomless pit; when would it ever be filled?
In our area, there's no such situation. The elderly in the family help out. We usually ask familiar neighbors for help and occasionally give them some extra money.
"Is that something a mother should say? What parent would do everything in their power for their child?"
By the time we graduate from school, our child will be too young to enroll directly in school.
"I'll buy our tickets for us; I guess that's the first perk we get as the son of a train conductor."
"How can that be discouraging? We did say the school would provide a subsidy, so we'll save a little money. But he's helping out and subsidizing us. When will this ever end?"
If you take your children out, you can't take care of them yourself during the day after school, but at night.
If you saw him pregnant for ten months and then give birth to us, you would believe that he picked up those children from inside the womb.
At the time, we were only thinking about going to school and bringing the child with us, but we forgot that there were no people living around the school. As long as there are no people living there, there will always be a shortage of manpower.
Li Lijuan said, "You and his brother have always been reluctant to part with Da Bao. If you could keep him by your side, that would be the worst thing."
Then Ma was about to go to school, and she also knew when she used to visit her parents' home.
Besides, we've saved up some money over the years, and you haven't touched our dowry. We thought we could help out and get through those years without any problems.
Hua Zhiping listened to his sister's reminder and tried to walk more steadily. "I thought I would get used to the bumpy ride, but I actually enjoyed it. I fell asleep as soon as the walk ended."
And what about you? What will you do if you lose your child?
"Tomorrow, when you go to your father-in-law's house to deliver the good news, you should ask him if his family is truly so selfish."
Xun Liangfen said, "The college entrance examination has not been reinstated yet, and other aspects will also be relaxed very little."
We have to rush back to get off work after the New Year, so the New Year's gifts from my father-in-law's side will be delivered later.
Hua Xiangyun was obviously bluffing Zou Jianxing. If I really dared to ask that question, my own father would still punish me according to family rules.
When you're out and about, you can't dress too shabbily..."
Last night, my husband and I discussed it and immediately decided to bring the child with us.
Because of the hot weather, the baskets were wrapped in cloth and covered with thick quilts, so the people couldn't lie comfortably outside.
Xun Liangfen smiled and said, "Later you were still saying that our dad drives a train, but as my son, I've never ridden one."
Hua Baoguo became increasingly self-pitying, feeling he had less and less standing outside the family, and Hua Xiangyun yelled at him less and less...
We're from the same school, and the house the driver prepared for us isn't that far from our school, otherwise you could have spared a room.
Oh right, last time we gave out soap and some fabric, but it seems they didn't bring them back this time. We'll make each of them a new outfit when they get to school.
Li Lijuan listened, but that wasn't the case. "We were so lucky that time, it's just a pity we could only ride in Dad's car."
So what if things weren't easy just now? We need to overcome them.
“It’s really good that so few people go to primary school. There aren’t many jobs available outside the home. If they could help support the family, their lives wouldn’t be so difficult…”
Yesterday you only made a big suggestion, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so indecisive and make a decision overnight.
You also hid the fact from your sister-in-law that "your parents' health is also very bad. Their eldest child is so big, and they need a lot of energy to take care of him. And that's not for a short period of time, but for several years in a row."
That time when my mother-in-law took us back to her parents' home, it also stirred up your homesickness.
Hua Xiangyun slammed her hand on the table. "What nonsense is he spouting? He's trying to encourage the child, not say anything bad like that..."
Now Zou Jianxing takes trains heading to the border, so that kind of experience is probably gone.
Xun Liangfen, speaking little, quickened her pace to keep up with her sister-in-law. "So it's decided, to take the child with us?"
"But I need to rent a place first, so I can't arrive too late."
Apart from Jiang Yi, who had not returned home, Zou Jianxing had brought his son, daughter-in-law, and a small group of men with him on that occasion, walking in a grand procession along the road.
Bang……
"She's asleep." Xun Liangfen tiptoed to look at the basket on the young man's back. Because he was carrying that big thing, he was well prepared for the trip.
That time, several children were about to leave for primary school, and Zhiping and the others also transferred their jobs, so there were a lot of people looking for their families that time.
Expecting a reliable mother-in-law? A bad one is more likely.
"It's just like outside the cradle. I rock him around, but then I just want to sleep." Zou Jianxing looked at his nephew's rosy face as he slept, and helped to cover him up a little with the big blanket underneath, leaving only a small gap so he could keep an eye on the little guy.
"You were just about to tell him that too. They're planning to leave on the eighth day, right? You can go with them then."
Thinking that my sister-in-law lives so close to her parents' home, her in-laws can always help her out.
Our original plan was to spend less time with the elderly and children, but it seems we need to change that now.
Xie Lanqiao followed quietly ahead, but her mind was still wandering.
Li Lijuan looked at her mother-in-law behind her and sighed inwardly. "Our family does have quite a few mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems. Even if the mother-in-law doesn't help, it's still very difficult."
Zou Jianxing: "That's to have the younger brother tell Dad that they'll help us buy the tickets."
We eat and live at the workplace, and we also receive a lot of supplies, which saves us a lot of money.
