"Bring it, bring it, mother. You worked hard to cook for us and prepare dry food early in the morning. How can I not bring it, haha." Gu Mingze heard his mother-in-law's unpleasant words and said with a smile.
"That's more like it. But I know you two are used to spending money lavishly. But this time when you go to the city, you must be more careful. When you go out, keep a close eye on the two children. You are not like at home in the city, and it is easy to lose the children." Seeing her son-in-law like this, Mother Lu began to give him instructions.
It’s not that she was worried about her daughter and son-in-law, it’s just that these two children were raised by her and the old man since they were young.
My daughter and son-in-law usually don’t have time to take care of the children, and they are afraid that they will not be used to it. When they go to the city, one of them cannot watch the child and loses him.
Then they will have a lot to cry about.
"We all know, don't worry, mom. When we get to the city, let Xiaoyan take the two children to stay in the guesthouse and don't let them wander around." Gu Mingze was told by his mother-in-law, but he didn't get impatient. Instead, he nodded and agreed while listening.
I just put it aside and looked at the two people who looked like mother and son in front of me. I envied the way they got along.
In her entire life, she had never seen her mother-in-law and son-in-law get along like this.
Her mother-in-law and brother-in-law get along just like real mother and son, without any awkwardness at all, which makes her very envious.
She also wanted to integrate into this big family and have her mother-in-law treat her like her own daughter.
Unfortunately, she might not have this blessing, and her mother-in-law will have to live with her sister-in-law in the future.
So she is quite content. After all, no matter how good her mother-in-law is, she is still an elder. If she lives at home, she must be humble and submissive.
But if her mother-in-law goes to live in the city with her sister-in-law, she will have the final say in the family and won't have to worry about being criticized for not serving her elders well.
"That's good, but don't let Xiaoyan and the children stay in the guesthouse all the time. When you have nothing to do, take them out for a walk. It's best not to go to crowded or sparsely populated places." When Lu's mother was in the army, she always took the logistics department's car to go to the city to buy things.
She knew that it was very chaotic outside, so her family should try to avoid crowded places as much as possible.
It's easy to get into trouble that way, and if you get smeared, you won't be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths.
But if you go to a place with few people, it's easy to get into trouble. Who knows when a group of people will suddenly appear?
So in her eyes, it would be enough to just go to department stores and grocery stores.
Those two places were the safest places for him.
"I know everything. You don't have to worry about us, mom. I promise to take good care of Xiaoyan and the children in the next two days. When you and my dad come to the city to find us, I will definitely hand them over to you completely." Gu Mingze felt helpless about his mother-in-law's endless nagging, but he couldn't interrupt her.
He could only stand there and repeatedly assure himself that he would definitely take good care of his wife and children, and that his mother-in-law really didn't need to worry so much.
"Okay, old lady, hurry up and cook and eat. It's already so late. If you don't eat now, it will be late for Dashan to go to work." When Father Lu came out, he heard his wife nagging non-stop.
The son-in-law stood by and listened with a helpless look on his face. He could only come over and interrupt the old woman, asking her to cook quickly and stop nagging.
"I'm just worried that they can't take good care of the two children. It's as if I'm the one who keeps nagging." When Mother Lu heard what the old man said, she turned around and glared at him, saying unhappily
When Father Lu saw the old woman like this, he opened his mouth to say something, but before he could finish his words, he heard what his eldest daughter-in-law said. This made him swallow the words in his mouth immediately, and he didn't know what to say.
"Mom, why don't you and my dad go with my younger sister and brother-in-law? I can go shopping and visit Aunt Xie in a couple of days. You and my dad don't need to stay at home." Liu Fang was originally envious, but when she heard her mother-in-law's words, she said nervously
"Oh, this matter has nothing to do with you. Since your father and I have agreed to wait until you return home before leaving, we will definitely wait until that day before leaving." Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law rubbing her hands nervously again, Mother Lu explained: "Your father, your brother-in-law and I are used to talking to each other, don't take it to heart."
"No, no, I didn't take it to heart." When Liu Fang heard what her mother-in-law said, she waved her hands and said that she didn't take it to heart.
"Just don't take it personally. I was just worried that your younger sister and brother-in-law wouldn't be able to take good care of the two children, so I nagged them a little more. Who knew it would annoy them? Okay, I won't say anything more. Just take your bowls and chopsticks and eat." Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law like this, Mother Lu was afraid that if she said a few more words, she would get nervous again, so she changed the subject and told them to take their bowls and chopsticks and eat.
"Mom, I don't find you annoying, please don't accuse me." Gu Mingze heard his mother-in-law's words and said with a smile.
"If you dare to find me annoying, then I will stay and not go to your house to help you take care of the children." When Mother Lu heard her son-in-law say this, she immediately smiled.
"That won't do. Jingming and Qiming can't live without you and my father. If you two don't go, Xiaoyan and I will have to take the two children to the cafeteria every day." Gu Mingze heard this, as if he was really afraid that his mother-in-law and father-in-law would not go to his house, and said hurriedly.
"I was just kidding. Your father and I are really worried about you two, so we left the two children to you to take care of." Mother Lu knew that her daughter couldn't cook, and her son-in-law was busy and often had to go on missions. He wouldn't be back for ten days or half a month.
If she and the old man really don't go, then her daughter will really be able to do it and take the children to the cafeteria every day.
She didn't say that eating in the cafeteria was bad, it's just that the food in the cafeteria had no oil at all, and the two children could only eat enough to fill themselves up, and they wouldn't grow at all.
So even though everything was fine in her eldest son's family, she and her old man still had to take care of their daughter and two grandsons in the army.
"That's fine. Don't joke with me about this again. If you and my father really don't go to the army one day, Xiaoyan and I will cry." Gu Mingze patted his chest and said with a scared look after listening to his mother-in-law.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here, go and call Xiaoyan and the two children to eat. If you leave earlier, you can get to the city earlier." Mother Lu was so angry that her son-in-law was still like this, and she began to speak unhappily.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Let my brother and sister-in-law eat first, we'll be out soon." After hearing this, Gu Mingze turned around and went back to the house to wake up his wife and two children so that they could eat.
Lu Qingyan was awakened by her husband and immediately sat up, put on her clothes, went downstairs and went out to wash up with her two sons.
Gu Mingze stayed in the house like a mother, cleaning it and putting things away before going out to eat.
