Putting the things on the bedside, Wang Taozhi looked at her grandson's sleeping face and smiled for a while, her tone not angry but resentful, "In fact, the ring your aunt used back then was the best, made of the best fabric. Your mother said the new ones were not good, and she disliked the ones worn by others, so she asked us all to sit there and rub them.
I kneaded the fabric, then washed it again, and repeated this process nearly ten times before giving it to her. My hands were almost peeling from rubbing it."
"I wanted to find the things your aunt used, but your grandmother wouldn't let me. She said they had to be kept in the bottom of the box and could only be used after your aunt had a child. Just imagine how stingy she is."
Seeing her brooding expression, Lu Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, it's been there for over ten years, I'm afraid it must have gone bad by now."
"I thought so too, that's why I feel it's a pity, the material is not cheap nowadays.
How cruel is your grandma? When Xiaojie was born, I asked her for some diapers as an emergency, but she refused, saying that Dongbao needed them. I could only use Xiaotuan's diapers. Boys are hot-tempered, so how could I give them to a girl? Luckily, Xiaojie didn't get a rash.
"Mom, children don't care about these things, they all use the same method."
"If it were you, would you be willing?"
Lu Lan stopped talking. As a mother, she naturally wouldn't be willing to do that if she put herself in her shoes.
Even if we know that there won't be any major problems, who can let their child take the risk? Naturally, we have to give him the best.
He Chunsheng sighed, "We're all busy with work. Actually, I discussed with your grandmother about asking her to help take care of the children, but she refused, saying that there were too many things to do at home and your grandfather couldn't take care of it. And your third sister-in-law... Sigh."
"Mom, didn't we agree earlier that we would take turns taking care of the child? It wouldn't be a hassle."
"You have to go back and forth between the factory and home twice a day, and you can't sleep well at night. How can your body withstand it?"
"That's nothing. Mom raised four children single-handedly. How can it be that hard for me to raise just one? I don't think grandma wants to help. She's just not used to living in the city and is afraid you'll spend money."
After being comforted by her, Wang Taozhi felt much better.
She and He Chunsheng were both victims of Zhao Meiya's favoritism in their early years. When they first got married, they suffered some grievances because of their sister-in-law. Later, after having several children, they learned from the lessons of their elders and tried their best to treat them equally.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law didn't care how they raised their children. In her eyes, only Dongbao was worthy of her attention.
Although she was relieved, she still couldn't help but grumble, "Look at her making so many excuses. When Dongbao gives birth, she'll probably want to move the family here. Even your second sister can't escape. She'll have to ask for leave to come back from the hospital and be on call at any time, just to take care of Dongbao."
When she gives birth, there will definitely be a huge commotion. Not only will we have to go to the best hospital, but we will also have to pay homage to the Goddess of Childbirth and ask for blessings from our ancestors. We are all busy maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Concubine's palace.
He Ruixue, who had just walked in, heard the last few words clearly. "Sister-in-law, what eunuch? Which man is incompetent again?"
Wang Taozhi said calmly, "You heard wrong. How can an unmarried girl go to watch men's dirty tricks every day? Didn't your parents go to your room? Why haven't they come back yet?"
"Oh, I just took them to the Trust Store to look at furniture. Mom picked out a bed, two bedside tables, and a wardrobe. I asked someone to bring them back and they are moving them into the guest room now."
The furniture is made of jujube wood, which is not expensive and has a simple and elegant style.
The old lady was particular about practicality, so she chose thick wooden boards for the furniture, so it was extremely heavy. It took several people to carry it back.
"It's set up so quickly, could it be that Mom wants longer pillars?"
"No, it's for my second sister and her family. They plan to come back with their children to stay for a few days. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the village right now, so I decided to let them stay with me."
This person really can't stand being talked about. Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear.
Wang Taozhi said in surprise, "Xia Sheng is coming back, why didn't she tell me in advance? Isn't she busy with work?"
"Oh, it seems her brother-in-law had to come over temporarily to carry out a mission, so she simply took all the years of vacation."
"I thought so."
Wang Taozhi scoffed, "Your second sister and brother-in-law are like two pieces of paste. They can't wait to stick together all day long. If they are separated for a few days, it will kill her."
He Ruixue did not refute because it was the fact.
Reunion was He Xiasheng's lie. Going back to her hometown to visit her family was fake, and accompanying her beloved husband was real. If her brother-in-law went to another province, she would definitely follow him without saying a word.
I'm in love.
But when Qiao Rui comes back, the male protagonist who is in the same camp with him will definitely come too.
She was looking forward to it. What would it feel like to fleece this truly lucky person? Would the reward increase several times?
…
The custom here is to give red eggs to each household when a baby is born. Wang Taozhi had prepared them a month in advance. She first boiled the eggs and then put them in red yeast rice water to dye them rose color.
Zhao Meiya stood by and helped, "Fortunately, Dongbao's yard lays a lot of eggs, otherwise we would have to go get some."
"That's right. It's hard for you to bring them from the countryside. Now it's so convenient for us to eat eggs at home."
"Humph, it's all thanks to Dongbao."
"She only provided the site, and didn't get involved in anything else. I grew the vegetables to feed the chickens."
Wang Taozhi had to argue with her before she was happy, "The children at home don't eat and drink for free either. Xiaoyou, let alone, basically feeds the chickens every day;
Xiao Ai doesn't jump rope anymore. She goes out with others every now and then to collect grass seeds. She always collects a big bag. Otherwise, how could the chickens grow so fat? "
