Yu Xiaoman turned around and asked Xiaodouzi: "Are you hungry, Xiaodouzi?"
Xiao Douzi nodded and whispered in Xiaoman's ear, "I'm hungry."
Yu Xiaoman was no longer in the mood to talk to Xiaodong's grandmother. She said directly to Xiaodong's grandmother, "Aunt, I'm going to take Xiaodouzi home first. I'll give you this month's money tomorrow."
Xiaodong’s grandmother wanted to say a few more words, but Yu Xiaoman quickly turned around and went home.
Xiaodong's grandmother stamped her feet behind him: "I'd really rather kill you than take care of your own son."
Someone passed by and asked what was going on. Xiaodong's grandmother sighed, "Didn't Xiaoman say that I don't need to take care of Xiaodouzi anymore?"
"Hasn't it been you who has taken care of Xiaodouzi since he was born? Why don't we need you anymore?" The visitor was very curious. If Yu Xiaoman wanted to change someone, could she try?
Yu Xiaoman suddenly opened the door, looked at the two people outside, and looked at Xiaodong's grandmother with a smile: "Aunt, I know very well how you took care of Xiaodong this year. Thank you very much."
Xiaodong's grandmother replied with a guilty conscience: "Yes, yes."
The person next to him quickly asked, "Xiao Man, I am also good at taking care of children."
Yu Xiaoman smiled and said, "Auntie Li, I'm going to take Xiaodouzi to work. Our family isn't well off, so let's save some money so that Xiaodouzi can eat better. Xiaodouzi hasn't grown very fast this year."
While she was speaking, she glanced at Xiaodong's grandmother, who looked guilty and didn't say anything.
Didn't she just give some of Xiaodouzi's food to Xiaodong? Why didn't he grow fast?
Seeing that Xiaodong's grandmother didn't say anything, Yu Xiaoman chatted with the two of them for a while, then took Xiaodong home and cooked something for him.
She had just touched Xiaodong's stomach and it was empty, so he definitely hadn't eaten anything.
If Xiaodong's grandmother said something bad about her and her mother, she would turn against them and let others know how she abused Xiaodouzi.
Xiaodong’s grandmother was not very courageous. After hearing what Yu Xiaoman said just now, she went home in shame.
In fact, the neighbors around have seen Xiaodong’s grandmother taking care of Xiaodouzi. Although it cannot be said that she neglects him, she is not very attentive either.
When Yu Xiaoman came home and told Xiaodouzi that he would take him to work, Xiaodouzi quietly ate the egg custard that Yu Xiaoman had steamed for him. It was not known whether he understood or not, but he went to the canteen of the food factory and was very obedient.
Except for the noises he makes when he urinates or defecates, Xiaodouzi sits quietly in the backpack all the time, either playing with the toys he brought from home or sleeping.
Other colleagues thought Xiaodouzi was fun and would give him some food. He would look at Yu Xiaoman first and would only take it if Yu Xiaoman nodded.
Yu Xiaoman taught Xiaodouzi to say thank you, and then no matter who gave Xiaodouzi something, he would say thank you.
For a time, Xiaodouzi became the most popular person in the cafeteria, and people brought him food every day.
Those who originally had objections to Xiaoman bringing her children to work now have no objections.
Not only did Yu Xiaoman not delay her work, but because she was taking care of the child and did not have to worry about the family, she became the first person to come and the last person to leave every day.
The canteen director is already considering letting Yu Xiaoman take the exam.
Of course, Yu Xiaoman did not give up on looking for a house near Qi Mengmeng's home.
But now there are very few people who buy, sell or rent houses, and people generally do not rent their houses to strangers.
Qi Mengmeng advised Yu Xiaoman not to be anxious and to take his time looking for a house, because the New Year was approaching and even if people had a house, they would not rent it out at this time.
Yu Xiaoman also knew this truth, but ever since she took Xiaodouzi to work, whenever she saw Xiaodong's grandmother when she went out, Xiaodong's grandmother would say a few sarcastic words.
Although Yu Xiaoman refuted them on the spot, she still felt uncomfortable after this happened so many times.
"I really envy you. You are so lucky. You bought this house. Although it is not big, it is convenient to live in it." Yu Xiaoman felt that Qi Mengmeng was so lucky every time he came.
But she also knew that she had no family background, and even if she came across such a house, she would not be able to buy it, so she did not look for a house to buy, but a house to rent out.
When she first bought the house, Qi Mengmeng thought it was a good house because it was close to Master Li's home, but now she feels that the house is too small.
When there are more people in the family, there won’t be enough space.
Zhang Meiling and Grandpa Jiang went back two days ago. Although the main reason was that Grandpa Jiang still had to go to work, the small size of their house was also a factor.
It's really inconvenient to have so many people living together, where you can see them everywhere you go.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Liu Dajiang's work was not going well and he had to take leave frequently, so he also went back. Now only Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan were left at home.
Qi Huilan was determined to stay here with Qi Mengmeng until she gave birth.
She has now figured it out. The Qi family is not short of money, nor is they short of people, so there is no need for her to do that job.
"Xiao Man, let's eat here at noon today. I just bought a chicken yesterday. Let's stew it today."
Qi Huilan warmly invited Yu Xiaoman to stay.
When Yu Xiaoman came, he brought some homemade pickles and bought a piece of tofu. He really wanted to eat here, but he still acted politely.
Qi Huilan glared and said, "It's settled. You're still being polite to me. Let's make some delicious food for Xiaodouzi at noon today. Look at Xiaodouzi's face. He has never been fat."
Yu Xiaoman quickly looked at Xiaodouzi's face, and looked at Qi Mengmeng uncertainly: "Has Xiaodouzi's face become thinner? Why do I still feel that he has gained weight?"
Qi Mengmeng laughed out loud, there is a kind of thinness called "Mom thinks you are thin."
But now that she said it, Yu Xiaoman probably hadn't heard it either, so she looked at Xiao Douzi seriously, then nodded: "It's okay, I don't think I've lost too much weight."
Yu Xiaoman noticed that Qi Mengmeng was talking, and gave her a reproachful look. He also laughed, and then sighed: "It's all my fault. I didn't care about Xiaodouzi. He only followed me to work for a few days, and he just ate a little more than before, so he got fat. I was too negligent towards him."
Yu Xiaoman is now as angry with Xiaodong's grandmother as he feels guilty towards Xiaodouzi.
Qi Mengmeng has lived in this era for more than two years and knows that women of this era have to go to work and take care of the family. It's not that they don't care about their children, but they really don't have that kind of mentality.
"Xiao Man, this is not your fault. As a mother, you will always feel sorry for your child. You just don't know how bad some people's hearts are. Just take good care of Xiao Douzi in the future." Qi Mengmeng pulled Xiao Douzi's hand: "Xiao Douzi, hug your mother. I'll let you eat more meat later."
Xiao Douzi immediately jumped into Yu Xiaoman's arms, hugged her and called her mother.
These days, Xiaodouzi has become more cheerful as he is always with Yu Xiaoman.
