Chapter 192: Always First
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Jiang Haodi stood up and walked towards the window. "What's going on?"
Jiang Hao looked at the car parked downstairs. After a while, a man holding a woman and an old woman holding a child came out of the building and got on the car.
Liu Cuihua looked at the situation and expressed everyone's speculation at the Qi family, "I guess even if the child was delivered at home, but the child was born prematurely, they should have gone to the hospital for a check-up.
Jiang Hao frowned and said, "It's Chinese New Year, and something like this happened."
Liu Cuihua sighed, "I feel sorry for the child. He has to go through so much trouble in the middle of winter."
Because there were only four people eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Liu Cuihua only prepared five dishes and one soup.
They did make dumplings, with three kinds of fillings: pork and cabbage, radish with oil residue, and sauerkraut. It took several people most of the day to make them, and they made about six or seven hundred dumplings in total.
Liu Cuihua left a curtain and put the rest on the balcony, ready to freeze and store them for Jiang Hai to eat on a daily basis.
Liu Cuihua sighed while eating dumplings, "I don't know if your dad and the others are eating dumplings."
Jiang Hao: "With my brothers here, are you still worried that my dad won't have dumplings to eat?"
Shi Luo also comforted her, "Godmother, don't worry, Godfather and the others are sure to eat well."
Liu Cuihua nodded and consoled herself, "That's right, with your brother taking care of me, why should I worry?"
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, several people sat in the living room watching and listening to the radio.
Huhu went to bed early.
Jiang Hao and Shi Luo huddled in a corner of the sofa, whispering to each other.
Shi Luo said softly: "After the New Year, I have to go back to work. I really don't want to go to work."
Jiang Hao smiled and squeezed his hand. "You wouldn't be happy if I really asked you to sell your job, but getting up early every day in the middle of winter is really annoying."
Shi Luo: "That's what I mean. Who doesn't want to stay in bed on such a cold day? By the way, when you go to work, do you bring Huhu or do you bring me? Huhu is registered on your household registration, but your office is responsible for managing finances and accounts, so it's not a good idea to bring anyone in, even a child.
There's no such thing in my office, but if I bring it with me, will people gossip about it? I don't really care about gossip, but I'm mainly worried that it might make the child feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Hao was also considering this. "Actually, it would be best to send Huhu to the Red Education Class run by our factory, but Huhu has never left the military compound in his entire life, and he's just arrived home. This is the time for both parties to establish a safe relationship. I'm afraid that if I send him to the Red Education Class all of a sudden, he'll be scared or unable to adapt."
Shi Luo: "Well, if it really doesn't work, I'll just take care of the child for a while, and then we'll talk about it after the child has adapted."
Jiang Hao put his arm around Shi Luo's shoulders and whispered, "He still has to be sent to the Yuhong class. It's fine if you take him with you, but you can't play with him in the office all the time. He'll be lonely if he's alone. At least there will be plenty of other kids to play with him in the Yuhong class."
Shi Luo also felt that it was not good for the child to play alone all the time, so he agreed with Jiang Hao's opinion.
Time flies, and the day of departure has come in a blink of an eye. Liu Cuihua sits in the passenger seat holding Huhu, looking at Jiang Hai who is driving next to her and says,
"Boss, when you have free time recently, call your wife more often and write letters. Because of your mother-in-law's incident, I noticed that your wife has lost a lot of weight."
Jiang Hai drove on and replied without turning his head, "Mom, I know, don't worry."
Liu Cuihua straightened Huhu's hat, glanced at Jiang Dong through the rearview mirror, and continued,
"It's not easy for your wife over the years. The only one who treats her well is her mother. But no matter how good her mother treats her, she will never go beyond her brothers.
Your wife is easily influenced by others. In addition, you are not at home all year round. Dongdong is small and there is no one in our family who can confide in her. It is inevitable that your mother-in-law has a greater influence on her.
The reason she loves to subsidize her parents' home is because of your mother-in-law. Your father-in-law passed away a few years ago. She is worried that your mother-in-law will be bullied by her daughters-in-law at home alone, so she often buys things and goes back to her parents' home to visit.
The money she gave was secretly given to your mother-in-law. As for whether your mother-in-law spent it herself or gave it to someone else, your wife really has no control over it."
Jiang Hai smiled and said, "Mom, I know what you said. I send things to my wife every month, sometimes food, sometimes clothes and daily necessities.
Before our family split up, you took care of all the household expenses, and my wife basically didn't spend any money.
The money and tickets I sent her every month were so that she could buy things when she returned to her parents' home and feel at ease.
Later, even when our family split up, the money I sent her also included this part.
My wife called me and told me that my mother-in-law was sick, and I sent money back immediately.
Mom, I know everything. My wife is a little narrow-minded. She is also easily deceived and easily tricked into doing some stupid things that are not very decent.
But my wife has no problem at all with our big family's consistent stance on major issues.
The most important thing is that I know that Dongdong and I will always be the first in my wife's heart."
Liu Cuihua nodded and said, "It's good that you know everything. Being a military wife is not easy. You and Li Qian have been separated for such a long time. It must be even harder for Li Qian. When she comes to join the army, you should be more patient with her.
She had hardly ever been away from home, and when she came, it was probably not long after your mother-in-law left.
If it's convenient for you, please spare a few days to accompany your wife and comfort her. It would be best if you can help her get familiar with the family compound."
Jiang Hai: "Don't worry, mother."
Jiang Hao pushed Jiang Dong and said, "Mom, just be at ease. If my sister-in-law has trouble adapting to the new situation and my brother doesn't have time to help her get familiar with the family compound, I'll take a few days off and stay with my brother and Jiang Dong for a few days. Then Jiang Dong and I will support my sister-in-law and help her get familiar with the situation."
Liu Cuihua rolled her eyes and said, "Just shut up. Your sister-in-law is the one who hates you the most. If you go, it will be enough to make your sister-in-law upset. But you are right about one thing."
At this point, Liu Cuihua turned her head to look at Jiang Dong and continued very seriously, "Dongdong, if your mother came here, she would definitely be unfamiliar with the place. You are also a grown-up boy and a man. The most important thing is that you came here before your mother, so you must take good care of your mother and try not to make her angry."
Jiang Dong nodded and said, "Grandma, I know. I am the only son of my mother. I will definitely not let her suffer any injustice."
