Rolling her eyes at her son, the strict mother sneered, "It's a headache because the child doesn't eat much. You and Xiaohai were picky eaters when you were little. If your grandfather hadn't gone to great lengths to straighten you up, would you have grown to your current size? Would you have been able to marry a wife as good as Yuxiu? You're dreaming."
So, Mom, your son married a good wife because of this big physique?
The harm is huge and the insult is extremely strong.
Yan Rushan looked at his wife beside him and was silent. It seemed that his wife was really attracted by his appearance.
Zhong Yuxiu understood the meaning in his eyes. It was impossible to be happy and harmonious; when a family is together, they can always be very happy and harmonious.
"Mom, if our children become picky eaters in the future, let Grandpa teach them a lesson." She really thought so, not to flatter or to follow the crowd. Instead, she was preparing for a rainy day.
The smile on Yan's mother's face paused slightly, then she smiled again, feeling sympathy for her three grandsons; their mother was really good to them, but she was not the kind of person who indulged and spoiled them, so it was fine this way.
"You're right. Our old man is very tough. If he really sets his mind to punishing someone, others can't escape. Back then, your father and I were so busy in the army that we couldn't come back. Xiaohai and Dashan were both taught by the old man. Look at them now. Although they are not in the military or politics, they are not too bad." In the past, the eldest son was arranged to join the army, and the younger son could go into politics if he wanted. Unfortunately! When the chaos came, because of her class background, the eldest son was arranged to go to the countryside. When he came back, he had very little interest in the army, or even no interest in it at all.
My youngest son was also affected to some extent and was not mentally active enough for two years; fortunately, he was admitted to university and entered graduate school, which is considered pretty good.
"You are right. My grandfather came from the Long March. His character is not comparable to that of ordinary people." This is also the real reason why she admires the older generation. Those people are the ones who can truly endure hardships. They can sacrifice their lives for the motherland, and they can also die at their jobs for the construction of the motherland.
Such people are very rare in later generations and can be called national treasures; but in this era, it is a normal phenomenon. They have the country in their hearts and their goal is to strengthen the strength of the motherland.
"That's right. The old man has walked more roads than we have eaten salt."
Zhong Yuxiu agreed with this statement very much. The old man could be said to have traveled half of the motherland on foot.
While chatting, they did not forget to wash the children's faces and then took them out to eat. When they arrived at the main hall, the old man sat in the seat as usual, Yan's father and mother sat on the old man's left, and Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan sat in order on the old man's lower right.
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi put the children on the ground and covered them with a mattress; a small table and a small stool were placed on top, so even if the children fell, it was just a simple fall.
Children have poor balance and it is easy for them to get into accidents if they sit on a small stool alone; with a thick mattress underneath to act as a cushion, that is not a problem.
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi served them the first bowl of breakfast - egg custard; another breakfast would be served after they finished the first bowl.
After two days of training, the children have adapted very well; they eat whatever is brought to them. The chubby little boy holds the little spoon in his hand and puts spoonful after spoonful into his mouth. His little mouth is filled with egg custard, his chubby face trembles, and his little mouth moves so adorably.
Yan's mother's kind heart softened all of a sudden, "They started eating by themselves so early?"
"Yes, it's better to become independent sooner rather than later." Yan Rushan nodded. "It will also make it easier for Comrade Wang and Comrade Gong. They have to be fed every meal and have a lot of things to do."
"I have you! What's wrong with you, as a father, feeding the children?" He loves his grandson but despises his son.
Yan Rushan's eyes twitched slightly, "Mom, how can a grown man like me feed a child properly? It's good enough if I don't feed them up their noses."
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Guofeng glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said nothing more.
"That's because you're useless." Yan's mother blurted out, and then said, "Gender equality, do you understand? What women can do, men can do too; other girls outside the house can do everything at home and outside the house, work, have children and take care of them, why don't you learn from them?"
Yan Rushan: “…”
Mom!
He thought he was marrying into the family.
Zhong Yuxiu almost laughed out loud, but she managed to hold herself together. It was really funny!
"Mom, women can give birth to babies, but your son can't."
Yan's mother was choked and rolled her eyes at him. "If you can't do it, then do what you can do. Washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the children, right? Your wife worked so hard to give birth to the children, and even gave birth to three children at once. You have to take on all the chores besides childbirth. That's what a man should do. You can't expect your wife to do everything for you, understand? You marry a wife to love her, not to make her a shrew."
Yan's father shook his head helplessly. Yan Guofeng chuckled and said, "That's all right. Dashan is doing a good job. He helps take care of the children at home. Although he doesn't do any housework, he still helps feed the children occasionally. The food is ready. Comrade Wang, tell Comrade Gu and the others to come over quickly. They still have things to do after breakfast."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After watching the big drama between the mother-in-law and son of the Yan family, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi were envious; they were very envious of Zhong Yuxiu, a woman who was born in a blessed nest. Her husband loved her, her mother-in-law was sensible, her father-in-law was deep but easy to get along with, and her old man treated her like his own granddaughter.
In such a family, no matter who marries into it, they will enjoy a happy life.
However, it is not surprising that she is so favored. Think about Zhong Yuxiu's ability; then think about the fact that Zhong Yuxiu gave the Yan family three grandsons in one go, and it seems that all this favor is not excessive.
They are just envious and have no other thoughts; they have never had such a happy life in their lives, so it is good to see other people's happy lives, so that they have hope.
After Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi left, Yan Guofeng said to his mother a while later, "Save some face for your son in front of outsiders. He's a man with a family and a career."
"Okay, Dad, I got it. I was just saying this to myself. Everything should be fine at home. I will pay more attention next time." Mother Yan is not the kind of person who won't listen to advice, especially when Grandpa Yan speaks, she will listen even more.
Yan Guofeng nodded slightly and said no more; his father watched his son being humiliated with a smile, and then, seeing that there was nothing more to watch, he turned his attention to his three grandchildren.
The little ones had food all over their mouths and bodies, some spilled on their chests, and some spilled on the small table around the bowls; it was a mess looking at it this way, and the food that actually went into their mouths was definitely not as much as when they were being fed.
But just watching them eat, the strict father was happy.
"They have such a good appetite, eating with big mouthfuls, just like the children of our Yan family."
