Chapter 122
Zhang Chaoyang has returned to the army, and Aunt Wu will not be back for another two days.
This time, there are really only Xu Di and your daughter, you and grandma left at home.
"Xiao Di, you cook and I'll wash the diapers."
"Grandma, you don't have to wash it. I'll do it later. I have to go back to work in ten days. By then, I won't be able to take care of it. So I'll ask you to help me."
Xu Di’s maternity leave is more than fifty days, and now more than thirty and almost forty days have passed.
"Xiao Wu will be back in a few days, and it will be very easy for the two of us to take care of one child.
The most important thing is that our Nuan Nuan is trouble-free and does not cause trouble. ”
When Grandma Qian mentioned her great-granddaughter, she couldn't help but smile.
"Grandma, does Aunt Wu's daughter also work?"
“They don’t work, they have rural household registration, and her daughter’s in-laws live in the town.
The two were classmates and later got married.
It is said that the in-laws are easy to get along with. Your aunt Wu gives some money to her daughter every month.
This time, when she gave birth, her daughter's sister-in-law also gave birth to a child, so they were born together.
That's why your Aunt Wu went back a few days earlier, because she was worried that her daughter would be tired during the confinement period.
She only has this one daughter, and although she doesn't know what will happen to her in the future, their relationship is pretty good for now. ”
Grandma Qian knew something about Xiao Wu's family. Xiao Wu's husband was a martyr, and she also had some ideas about it.
In the past few years, I have used some of the money I earned to subsidize my daughter, and saved the majority for myself.
"Aunt Wu has never been found. Is she living with the child by herself?"
"Well, in rural areas, men are valued more than women. Since she has a daughter, the only man she can find is a man with a child.
Your Aunt Wu doesn't want to raise a child for someone else. Her daughter has a subsidy and she can do it herself.
The mother and daughter live a good life, which is much better than remarrying.
It's not easy to deal with two groups of children together. ”
Xu Di didn't expect that Aunt Wu was thinking very clearly. Rather than marrying into another family and helping raise children, the other party might not be good to her own children.
It’s better to raise the child by yourself, it’s easy to earn food for the mother and daughter.
"Your Aunt Wu's family is good, and they have been able to protect them for so many years.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for her as a woman with a daughter. ”
Xu Di understood what his grandmother said. Since ancient times, widows have always been surrounded by gossip.
Especially at this time, many laws are not sound and there are some second-rate people in the countryside.
It would be very difficult without the protection of the husband's family.
Xu Di ate with her grandmother and chatted about family matters, which diluted some of the sadness brought about by Zhang Chaoyang's departure.
On the tenth day, Aunt Wu came back and brought a lot of dried vegetables.
"Aunt Qian, Xiao Di, these are the dried vegetables that my sister-in-law from my husband's family dried themselves. They taste good when stewed."
The dried vegetables that Aunt Wu brought back were not available at home.
Grandma Qian and Xu Di were both very happy and thanked Aunt Wu.
"Are the adults and children all right?"
"It's all good, it's all good. Now she has another son. Now she has two sons. My daughter has a foothold in her husband's family."
Aunt Wu’s words surprised Xu Di.
"Xiao Di, Aunt Wu doesn't favor boys over girls, it's just that I've been gossiped about all my life because I only gave birth to a daughter.
People in small places like sons, and I don’t want my daughter to suffer the same hardships I have suffered. ”
Aunt Wu said it frankly. She didn't think it was a sin not to have a son, but she didn't want her daughter to have to face the same things.
"We are all mothers, so it's understandable. There are also many families in the city who want grandchildren.
I don’t know what there is in the family that needs to be inherited by my grandson. Life at home was very tight, and we still wanted to have a son.
I don’t know what to use to help my son get married in the future. With only one acre and three mu of land, where will he live? ”
Grandma Qian felt that those people who cried and shouted for grandchildren were not destined to enjoy happiness.
You have to endure hardships when you are young, and plan for your children and grandchildren when you are old, until the day you die.
Three people were sorting their things and chatting about family matters.
Xu Di thought, fortunately, grandma did not favor boys over girls, otherwise, they would not get along.
She would be unhappy if her daughter, whom she had carried for ten months and given birth to with great difficulty, was looked down upon by anyone.
Aunt Wu is back, and Xu Di feels relieved because she doesn’t have to cook anymore.
Nuannuan was awake for longer and longer periods of time, and Xu Di would talk to her daughter when she was awake.
Although she doesn't understand anything now, she can still recognize her mother's voice.
Time passed again, and Xu Di knew that Zhang Chaoyang had arrived safely.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Chaoyang's parents, eldest brother Zhang with his son, and Zhang Chaoheng came to visit grandma.
Not only Xu Di was stunned for a moment, but even Grandma Qian was quite surprised. In the past, they would come a day in advance, and most of the time, Zhang Peng would come by himself.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they would bring their whole family to his father's house.
"Why are you here?"
Grandma Qian asked bluntly, and except for the younger Zhang Xuanhe, everyone else felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mom, Chaolang is leaving the day after tomorrow, so we came to see you."
Father Zhang felt a little guilty because he had not brought his wife and children to spend the holiday with his elderly mother. At this moment, he felt his face burning.
Grandma Qian glanced at her eldest grandson, who looked a little haggard. She didn't know if it was because of the divorce or the job transfer?
"Grandma, it may take more than a year for me to come back.
I came here to say goodbye to you. I have made a mess of my life and brought shame to my family. ”
Zhang Chaolang felt embarrassed about the divorce. When he walked in the compound, everyone looked at him with inquiry.
"You can't think like that. In marriage, it takes two to tango. You two can't say who made more mistakes and who made less mistakes.
Since you can't live together anymore, there's nothing wrong with breaking up. You are still young and there's no problem with you each starting your own family.
But what about children? Have you ever thought about them? As your children grow up, they will be ridiculed and bullied because of your mistakes.
If you each remarry in the future, your child will have a stepfather or stepmother. In the future, you will have half brothers and sisters with the same mother or the same father.
You need to be aware of these things.
Children, you are the ones who brought them into this world. Until he grows up, you all have responsibilities.
Don't let your children feel abandoned by their parents. ”
After Grandma Qian finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Peng and Zhou Hong. The two of them instantly thought of Zhang Chaoyang and lowered their heads involuntarily.
"Grandma, I know I'm sorry for my child. I don't plan to remarry so soon."
Zhang Chaolang couldn’t say that he would never get married again, but he would wait until Xuan He was older.
Grandma Qian said what she wanted to say, and as for whether others listened or not, her opinion had no say.
My own son is like that, let alone my grandson. If they hadn't come today, she would never have said this.
Xu Di didn’t know what her grandma said. She thought that a few people had something to say, so she took Xuan He into the house to see her sister.
Children aged three or four can understand some words.
Zhang's father and his friends stayed and had some dumplings and then went back.
Grandma Qian briefly told Xu Di about these things and felt a little sorry for the child.
“I wonder if it’s better for a child to grow up in an environment where his parents quarrel or in an environment where his parents are divorced?”
"well……"
This festival was a bit depressing.
Just two days after the holiday, Xu Di had to go back to work as her maternity leave was over.
In the morning, she packed up, fed Nuannuan, and went out with her bag.
Fortunately, they lived nearby and her grandmother and Aunt Wu were there, so she wasn't worried.
She has to come back several times a day to deliver milk, which is their benefit.
