Chapter 68 Sixty-eight A Little Sweet
Chen Siting just gave birth to a child and has been living with her parents-in-law recently.
When the man's relatives meet the woman's family, they can't help but exchange three rounds of greetings.
When Chen Yun and Chen Ying arrived, they first sat down and practiced two rounds of Tai Chi with the elders, and then followed their cousin into the room.
Chen Siting: "Please sit here for a while. I will treat you well next time you come to my place."
Although she lived in the master bedroom of this three-bedroom, two-living-room house, her private space was limited. She made room for two plastic chairs to put things. "Yuanyuan just fell asleep."
Chen Yun stretched her neck to look at her little niece on the bed: "She is very fair, not as exaggerated as you say."
Chen Siting was a new mother and felt that the baby was completely different from what she had imagined. She was also very jumpy and said, "I just felt that she was red."
Chen Yun: "That's not a feeling, it's an illusion."
He looked up at the air conditioner again: "What temperature do you set it to? It's hot, right?"
Chen Siting: “25.”
Then he lowered his voice and said, "If it gets any louder, her grandmother will come in and keep shouting."
Most elders who take care of children have this drawback.
Chen Yun: "They want to dress their kids in eight layers of clothes during the dog days of summer, just like your aunt when she wore the stars."
Chen Siting's complaints were turned on, but considering that she was under someone else's roof, she held them back. She noticed another guest sitting on a small stool without saying a word, so she asked, "Chen Ying, why aren't you talking?"
They are only one year apart in age. They have been calling each other by their first names since they were little.
Chen Ying, who was called, spread her hands and said, "I have never given birth. What you just said is not suitable for me to join."
It seems so. Chen Siting sighed: "It's better not to have given birth."
Chen Ying: "Who made you unhappy?"
Then he mouthed, "Your mother-in-law?"
Whenever there is a conflict after marriage, everyone's first reaction seems to be the problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But Chen Siting thought about it and shook her head: "It hasn't started yet."
That means the person who is not present. Chen Ying: "Your husband?"
Chen Siting: "Nothing serious is wrong."
The third possibility Chen Ying could think of was: "Are you short of money?"
Chen Siting: "If you mean 100 million, we are still short of it."
Who wouldn't need that? Chen Ying rolled her eyes and said, "It's not that."
Then he realized there was another person in the room: "Is Yuanyuan difficult to take care of?"
Chen Siting: "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, pretty honest."
Based on Chen Ying's life experience, the only answers that could be imagined were these, and now they have been ruled out one by one.
She thought it might be because she had never given birth to a child, so she turned her head and said, "Sister, do you want to guess?"
Compared with the two of them, Chen Yun does have the capital to give advice, so she asked, "Are you a little scared?"
That's right, fear.
It's strange to say, the delivery room was clearly the most heart-wrenching moment, and Chen Siting had never felt such pain in her life. However, she didn't realize how panicked she was until she saw her daughter lying beside her.
All the things she thought she had considered seemed so inconsiderate in the face of the new life. The child was changing every day, so much that she began to doubt whether she had the ability to support someone else's life.
There are so many threads involved that it becomes even more disorganized when I think about it from the beginning.
Chen Siting: "I don't think I'm a good mother."
Chen Yun: "What does it mean to be a good mother? Look online. People don't advocate this anymore. The world has changed. Only when the mother is good can the child be good. Your top priority is to take good care of your body and plan your future. Yuanyuan is only a few months old. No matter how much you think, your plans cannot keep up with the changes."
There are many such words on the Internet. But it seems more convincing when it comes from my cousin's mouth.
Chen Siting nodded: "I will go back to work after my maternity leave."
She took the opportunity to talk about which colleagues had come to visit her and mentioned the red envelopes given by the company.
Everyone started chatting about these topics for a while. Chen Yun looked at the time and said, "It's almost time to go back. If we're any later, your mother-in-law will have to keep us for dinner."
Chen Siting: "Okay, then go slowly, I won't see you off."
Even if she doesn't send it, the elders have to.
After a round of polite conversation, Chen Ying let out a long sigh as she entered the elevator: "Oh my God, I'm so tired."
Chen Yun: "You are hiding behind me without saying a word. What are you tired of?"
Chen Ying: "I was smiling, and my mouth was stiff from smiling."
She said this with a completely social smile. Chen Yun: "I'll call the police if you keep fake smiling like that."
Chen Ying: "It would be great if they could arrest me. Going to jail is not as bad as going to work."
Chen Yun laughed out loud: "Who volunteered to be a teacher in the first place?"
Chen Ying grabbed her own neck and said, "It was me who was young and ignorant."
She defended herself again: "You can't say it was all my idea. The scores were there. My parents have always said that it is best for girls to study at a normal school."
Chen Yun can recite this theory with his eyes closed.
She said on the bright side: "At least there are still winter and summer vacations."
Chen Ying couldn't smile at all when she thought about the upcoming school term, and she muttered to herself about those difficult parents of students.
Listening to it this way, it always feels like there are very few normal people.
Chen Yun: "Don't scare me, Xingxing will be in the first grade soon."
Chen Ying's ability to pick up the conversation was extremely imaginative, and the next second she began to lament that time flies so quickly.
Chen Yun couldn't follow her train of thought and said, "I feel like work is very devastating to you. I think you've gone crazy when you came back this time."
Crazy, that's right.
Chen Ying: "Sister, come to our class and take a look, that one..."
The two sisters drove home, talking all the way.
--
At 15:47 in the afternoon, Song Fenglin looked at his phone again.
He opened the chat history with his wife and calculated how long it would take her to get home based on the last sentence "I have to go home". After calculating, he continued to pick vegetables.
Chen Xiyang, who was sitting opposite him, was peeling peanuts. Chen Xingyue and Chen Xinyang would rush to eat one after peeling one. After a long time, there was still nothing in front of him. He couldn't help but say, "I can't eat anymore. People who don't know would think I'm slacking off."
After all, he was an uncle whom she only saw once or twice a year, so Chen Xingyue didn't dare to act rashly. She withdrew her hand, moved her own small stool and sat down: "Then I will help too."
What a well-behaved little girl. Chen Xiyang: "She has a good temper, and is nothing like your mother."
Chen Xingyue only heard it as a compliment. She squeezed the peanuts with both hands, squeezing them so hard that her facial features were almost deformed. "I'm still very good."
Now Chen Xinyang started to compete with his sister again, and the two siblings scrambled to do the work.
Song Fenglin turned a blind eye to this and just said, "Chen Yun has a good temper too."
But forget it, Chen Xiyang grew up in another province. He met this cousin a few times when he was young, but she left a deep impression on him.
He was about to open his mouth, but held it back because there were children present.
But Song Fenglin had obviously heard those stories many times, and said: "Children always fight, that doesn't mean she has a bad temper."
Chen Xiyang gestured with his hands: "Chen Xihong was much older than her at that time, but she beat him to a pulp."
Song Fenglin said calmly: "Because she has a better physical condition."
After all, he is his cousin, so Chen Xiyang felt that he should still protect him, and said: "Chen Xihong's big physique can only mean that your wife is definitely an expert, so you should be careful too."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Yun's voice rang out: "Chen Xiyang, do you want to see where you are now?"
Chen Xiyang was not embarrassed at all for being caught on the spot, and said, "I just cut three pounds of beef, I have done a great service."
He also accused: "Old Song, I treat you as my own, but you didn't even remind me when your wife came."
Song Fenglin remained calm: "You also said she is my wife."
In fact, he didn't really see Chen Yun walk into the yard just now, otherwise his expression would definitely not be hidden.
Chen Xiyang was speechless and thought of something: "In this case, let me interview the person involved. Why did you beat Chen Xihong so violently back then?"
Chen Yun thought to herself, I have fought in hundreds of battles since I was a child, how can I remember why? She touched her daughter's head and said, "I forgot."
Looking at this calm expression, Chen Xiyang said, "Old Song, I still say the same thing, your wife is definitely experienced in many battles."
Song Fenglin probably really wanted to piss him off to death, so he said "oh" calmly.
Chen Xiyang could only criticize him as well: "He is controlled by his wife."
Song Fenglin seemed very satisfied with the title. He smiled to show his acceptance and brought a stool to his wife: "Just be the supervisor."
Chen Xiyang slapped his thigh and said, "Wait a minute, my wife will be here soon after get off work."
It’s like there’s no way to show affection to anyone.
Sometimes, men's childishness is really indescribable.
Chen Yun looked at him with disdain, then thought Song Fenglin was perfect in every way and patted his shoulder in appreciation.
Song Fenglin was greatly encouraged and wished he had three heads and six arms so that he could complete the remaining preparations for the barbecue by himself.
