When Su Qingxue was coaxing them to sleep at night, she began to tell them that they were all grown-up children and needed to sleep on their own.
Xiao Rui: "My brother and I have long said that we want to sleep by ourselves, but grandpa and grandma are worried about us, so they said that they will let us sleep by ourselves when we are older. If you don't believe me, ask my brother."
There was nothing Su Qingxue didn't believe. She had great faith in her son and she felt that her son would not lie.
Xiaozhi was nodding frantically. He also wanted to sleep alone, but his grandfather was strict and didn't feel comfortable with him and his brother sleeping alone.
I even secretly thought in my heart that it would be great if mom could convince grandpa to let them sleep on their own.
Su Qingxue stopped looking at her two sons and turned to her three daughters and asked, "Baby, do you want to sleep by yourselves?"
"Mom, I think I can."
One said, and the other nodded, "I think I can do it, too."
"Yes, the three of us can sleep in one room. I feel happy just thinking about it."
The three little girls all felt that if they slept by themselves, it would be proof of their growth in the eyes of the adults, so they could be said to be impatient and not afraid at all.
When Su Qingxue saw the children's happy expressions, she knew that they were eager to escape from their parents' care and have their own private space.
Because I seemed to be like this before. Before I was six years old, I was very attached to my mother. After six years old, I wanted a private space, wanted to sleep alone, and have my own secret garden. I think children should have the same idea as me.
After knowing what they were thinking, Su Qingxue knew what to do. She planned to discuss it with her mother-in-law tomorrow. After all, there wasn't much else in the house, but there were still plenty of rooms.
The next day, Su Qingxue discussed with her mother-in-law about letting the children sleep by themselves.
At the beginning, my mother-in-law was a little reluctant. She was used to sleeping with the children, and she always felt empty if she let them sleep alone.
But I also felt that what my daughter-in-law said was right. The children were growing up and needed to become independent, so I finally agreed.
My mother-in-law had no objections, and my father-in-law was even less likely to have any objections. It was just that at night, the two old people woke up several times a night. They would quietly go upstairs and go to the children's rooms to check on them, making sure they were sleeping well and had not lifted the quilts or anything like that. Only then would they feel relieved.
Su Qingxue arranged all the children on the second floor. When her parents-in-law came up to see the children at night, she also heard the noise. Knowing that they were worried about the children, she didn't say much.
I was also like this when I first sent my child away. I was always worried about him, but it got better after a couple of days.
After a week of adaptation, Zhou's parents stopped worrying about the child and returned to their old state. It was great not to have to take care of the child anymore!
Especially Zhou's father, he hadn't slept with his wife in his arms for a long time, and he secretly felt that his daughter-in-law had done a good thing.
Su Qingxue felt that since the children started sleeping alone, the relationship between the old couple seemed to be better. Every time she saw them together, she felt sticky and the atmosphere in the air was different.
It was just like himself and Zhou Huaian were together.
I take the children out to play every day, occasionally tutor them in writing, and quietly take out a lot of storybooks from my space, memorize them quietly, and then read them to them before they go to bed at night.
Su Qingxue was worried that reading storybooks to the children would delay them, so she specially bought a set of extremely boring history books. These books could not be taken out openly, so she recited them secretly, memorized the contents of the history books, and then told them to the children as if they were stories.
Then I realized that my original intention was just to enlighten the children and make them more sensible in the future, but I was surprised to find that I had memorized a whole volume of Records of the Grand Historian.
Su Qingxue felt that this was unlike herself. She was not such an ambitious person. But things were different after having a child. She was willing to endure the hardship of studying for the sake of her child.
Occasionally when I have nothing to do, I go to the courtyard and use my special powers on the fruit trees and vegetables to make them grow better, and then I secretly bring out some fresh fruits, fish, meat, etc.
There are several tons of beef and mutton in the space. Every time I go out, I secretly bring back a whole sheep or dozens of kilograms of beef. Since I am already here, I can't feed them anymore and I have to give them good nourishment.
If there is leftover meat, Liu Ma has a way to make it into various kinds of dried meat, so there is no need to worry about it going bad.
Zhou's mother felt that since her daughter-in-law came into being, the family never seemed to lack meat. Whether it was fresh meat or various bacon, salted meat and sausages from the past, she could eat them to her heart's content.
I didn't have any other thoughts, I just thought my daughter-in-law was really capable.
Su Qingxue stayed in Beijing for a full month, and only packed her bags to go back when the holiday came.
When they heard that their mother was leaving, the five children were reluctant to let her go and began to wipe away their tears. Their aggrieved looks were really heartbreaking.
Even Zhou's mother couldn't bear to part with her daughter-in-law. She felt that she and her daughter-in-law got along very well, and there had never been any conflicts between them. They were happy every day. She felt a little reluctant to let her daughter-in-law go.
But I thought of my son who was alone there, and thought it would be better for my daughter-in-law to go back earlier, at least the couple could take care of each other.
Zhou Huaian had no idea that his mother was thinking about him. If he knew, he would at least thank her in his heart.
Zhou Huaian felt that life was boring ever since his wife left. Every day when he came home from get off work alone, he felt that the whole house was empty and lifeless.
It made her feel all alone.
If he hadn't been thinking about his father-in-law, mother-in-law and grandfather in the cowshed and sending them gifts every ten days or half a month, he might have lived his life in a muddle.
There was only one thing he would think about, and that was taking out the calendar. Every day when he opened his eyes, he would tear off a page, and note down how many pages he had torn off. When he had torn off more than 20 pages, he would begin to look forward to the day when his wife would come back.
Su Qingxue also missed Zhou Huaian a little. The two of them had never been apart for such a long time before, and she missed him very much.
So when I was preparing to go back, I bought the train ticket in advance, and the next morning I couldn't wait to get in the guard's car and rush to the train station.
She even forgot about the children crying and reluctant to leave their mother. The children have been looking after her for a month, and now she doesn't miss her at all. Her heart has already flown to Zhou Huaian.
