Chapter 1104: Give me a second child to keep you company (4)
Before leaving the Tang family, Tang Shichu found a pill of medicine for the disease from the space, sprinkled it in the soup, and asked Tang's father to drink it.
This medicine can prevent him from dying of cerebral hemorrhage. After all, he still has to raise his beloved little son to adulthood and cannot let him die so soon.
After doing all this, she returned to school. School had not started yet, so she could take some translation orders online to earn a living. She didn't want to use the gold and silver in the companion space at the moment. After all, she would occasionally want to experience the self-reliant life of an ordinary girl.
Tang Shichu's life is very peaceful. Apart from studying, he works part-time. Although it is busy, it is fulfilling. However, his father and mother at home are not so leisurely.
Little brother Tang is a baby with high emotional needs. He needs adults to meet his demands immediately. If he doesn’t get the response he wants, he will immediately burst into tears to attract the attention of adults. Therefore, when taking care of him, mother Tang cannot rest for a moment. After she finished the confinement period, she had a confinement nanny to help take care of the child, and she also had various tonic soups to nourish her body, so she gained some weight.
However, after the confinement period, the confinement nanny was sent away, and Tang Shichu was not at home to help her occasionally. Therefore, she was now taking care of a baby who cried loudly all by herself. She was so exhausted that she had no time to rest. As soon as she let go of the hand holding little brother Tang, he would cry in protest, so she could not do anything else at home.
But she is the only one at home. If she doesn't do housework, the clothes will pile up without being washed, the floor will not be mopped, and meals will not be cooked.
It's not a big deal if clothes are not washed or the floor is not mopped, except that they are a little dirty. But if they are not well fed, then there will be problems. What's more, Mother Tang has to take care of the children, which is hard work, and the village is not like the city where you can order takeout, so Mother Tang has to carry little brother Tang on her back to work.
At the end of the day, she was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. When Mr. Tang came back from get off work at the restaurant in town, what he saw was Mrs. Tang, who was sitting on the sofa with her child in her arms, looking disheveled and numb.
"Is the meal ready? The boss asked me to bring back some unsold braised meat today, which is just right for a snack." Father Tang threw the lunch box of braised meat in his hand on the table and asked Mother Tang.
Mother Tang shook her head and said with a wronged look, "What are you going to cook? I've been doing housework all day with my son on my back. I'm so tired that I can't even stand up straight. How can I have time to cook?"
"Then can't you just put the child on the bed and let him play by himself? Why do you have to carry him on your back while working?" Father Tang said unhappily.
"As soon as I let him go, he started crying! He wouldn't stop at all. Do you think I want to work with him on my back? Isn't it me who is tired?" Tang's mother was also a little angry.
"Isn't it just looking after the kids and doing some housework at home? How tiring can it be? I think you are just being pretentious! Why didn't you complain about being tired before, but now you are complaining?" Father Tang said angrily.
"Wasn't our daughter at home before? She did all the housework and I only had to look after the children. Now she goes to school and I have to take care of the children and do housework. How can I not be tired? Why don't you try it yourself!" Tang's mother roared angrily.
However, her roar frightened little brother Tang, who immediately started to cry at the top of his lungs again. He was in good health and cried very loudly, which in the past was considered by his father to be a sign of his son's high spirits. But now it made him, who was already exhausted after working in the restaurant all day, very irritated.
So he yelled at Tang's mother in a rage: "Hurry up and coax him!"
Mother Tang was also tired and angry. After being yelled at, she immediately stopped caring and stuffed the child into Father Tang's arms, saying, "You are his father, you come and coax him! See if you are tired of taking care of the child?"
It was as if she had handed over a hot potato. She had listened to her son's howling all day and was really scared. After handing her son over, she quickly made an excuse: "I'm going to cook. You, as a father, should cultivate your relationship with the child."
After saying that, she hurried back to the kitchen to cook, leaving Mr. Tang on the sofa, trying to suppress his impatience and coax his son.
But little brother Tang was not an easy child to take care of. After his father coaxed him for more than ten minutes, he still cried loudly and deafeningly. Finally, his father completely lost his patience. He couldn't help but yell at his son in his arms: "Stop crying! Are you annoying? Shut up!"
However, the child was only two months old and was unable to understand the emotions of adults at all. He would cry if someone yelled at him, so he cried even louder.
Father Tang was about to collapse: "Shut up! Did you hear me? I told you to stop crying! Why are you howling? Your father is not dead yet..."
Tang's mother didn't want to care about her husband at first, but he kept yelling at her son, so she started to feel sorry for him again: "He's just a baby, what does he know? You yell at him? Can't you be patient? You said before that if you had a son, you would love him like your own flesh and blood. Now that you have a son, you don't even want to comfort him?"
Father Tang collapsed and shouted, "How could I know he was so difficult to raise? It was clear that my daughter was easy to raise before."
"A son is not a daughter, what's the comparison? Boys are more naughty and difficult to raise. He is the son you have always wanted, so you have to take good care of him." Tang's mother reminded him, "At the beginning, you said that your daughter went to college and the family was too lonely, so you wanted a child."
Father Tang mocked her: "I was just talking, but you couldn't wait to get pregnant after hearing what I said. It's obviously you who wants it more. Don't try to put the blame on me!"
"Tang Guiquan, are you still a man? You dare to do it but not to take responsibility! How could I get pregnant and give birth to him without you? My daughter has gone to college, and I should have worked for a few more years and then retired happily, but now I still have to work hard to raise a child. It's all your fault..." Tang's mother said angrily.
"Do you have any shame? You did this of your own free will, and now you blame me..." Father Tang was not to be outdone and started arguing with Mother Tang.
While they were arguing, little brother Tang's wailing still didn't stop, as if it was the accompaniment to his parents' quarrel. This time, the house was really not lonely at all, but too lively. I guess Mr. and Mrs. Tang like such a lively day, right?
No matter how they quarreled, they had to do what needed to be done. After the quarrel, Mr. Tang had to drag his tired body and patiently coax his son; Mrs. Tang had to straighten her sore waist and drag her heavy steps to cook in the kitchen.
After finally finishing their meal, they had to clean up the dishes and give the child a bath. Therefore, the two of them, who were tired all day, had no time to rest at all. They had to do housework again. By the end of the day, when they lay down on the bed, they had no energy to talk at all...
However, little brother Tang was very energetic and could cry a few times in the middle of the night.
