Chapter 155
A family of three, carrying large and small bags, entered the housing estate, attracting quite a bit of attention.
Fortunately, it was winter and no one was chatting or gossiping outside, as their teeth would freeze if they opened their mouths.
Xu Di and the others didn't run into anyone. Even Grandma Wang downstairs didn't come out. It was icy and snowy, and a fall was no joke.
When Xu Di saw Xiaojun opening the door with the child in his arms, he knew that he was now the main person taking care of the child at home.
"Second sister, second brother-in-law, you are here, come in quickly.
Nuannuan, do you miss your uncle? ”
"think!"
Nuannuan, who was wrapped tightly, recognized her uncle's voice and replied loudly.
"Chaoyang, how is your recovery?"
"Mom, you're not at work?"
Xu Di thought Xiaojun was the only one at home, but she didn't expect her mother was also at home.
The three of them entered the house, Xu Di rescued Nuannuan, and took off his hat and mask.
"Okay, go play with your uncle."
"uncle……"
Nuannuan was wearing small shoes on her feet and ran towards her uncle with a clattering sound.
"Mom, is your company on holiday?"
"No, I took two days off. Your sister-in-law's mother was sick, so she took the leave to go back and take care of her. She can't just leave the two children at home to Xiaojun!"
"My sister-in-law has reconciled with her family?"
Xu Di really didn't know that her sister-in-law had a falling out with her parents' home because of work and didn't even go back for the Chinese New Year last year.
"What's the point of reconciliation? Her mother fell down and is bedridden.
Several of her sisters-in-law came up to her and said that your eldest sister-in-law is also the daughter of Old Wang, and she also has a responsibility to serve her mother.
What can your sister-in-law do? When she goes back to see her mother, she finds that she has lost a lot of weight.
The house was filled with the smell of feces and urine, making it uninhabitable. ”
When Xu's mother saw her eldest daughter-in-law coming back, her eyes were red, and she must have cried quite hard.
"I remember that my eldest sister-in-law has four brothers. Why is no one taking care of the old lady?"
“Well, the old lady of the Wang family was also very powerful before, and several daughters-in-law had been bullied by her.
When your eldest sister-in-law's father was still alive, her mother had the final say.
Since Old Wang passed away, the old lady has also grown old. She is now in her sixties and almost seventy.
When there is no illness or disaster, everyone can live in peace. Even though there are some bumps, we are a family, so just get along with it.
Now, the old lady is bedridden and needs someone to take care of her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. It’s different. ”
What Xu's mother didn't say was that there would be no filial son by the bedside of a patient for a long time, let alone a daughter-in-law with whom she has conflicts.
"My eldest sister-in-law's brothers, don't they care about me?"
"It is said that my son is a man and it is not convenient for him to serve me."
Xu Di was also speechless. When it came to gaining benefits, there was no distinction between men and women, but when it came to serving others, there was a difference between men and women again.
"We have no right to interfere in other people's affairs. How long can Chaoyang rest this time?"
"Mom, I'm going to the military academy in March to study for two years, so I won't leave Beijing for the time being."
"Really? That's great? Can the cadets go home at night?"
"No, but I have two days off a month."
Zhang Chaoyang inquired and found out that the military academy was also under closed management, but he could have two days off a month and go home.
"That's not bad, much better than before."
Xu's mother was also happy for her daughter. It would be better for a couple to stay together if possible.
"Xiaojun, come here. I bought you a New Year's gift."
Xu Di remembered the watch in her bag and quickly called Xiaojun over, fearing that she would forget it.
"Second sister, have you prepared a gift for me?"
"Of course, if you hadn't brought Nuan Nuan with you, I wouldn't be able to take care of your brother-in-law in the hospital with peace of mind.
Your second brother-in-law and I were thinking of buying you a set of clothes and a pair of leather shoes.
Your grandmother Qian said that Xiaojun will be in the second grade of junior high school next year and will go to high school in a blink of an eye, so it would be more practical to buy him a watch.
Well, why don't you try it and see if it suits you? ”
Xu Di took out the box and handed it to Xiaojun.
"Second sister, is this true? The watch is for me? Oh, why does it feel like a dream?
Others can only have this transformation after getting married, but I have it now.
It’s still Grandma Qian who understands me, haha…”
Xu Jun carefully opened the box, took out the watch, and put it on his wrist.
Maybe I was a little excited and didn’t put it on for a long time.
"Really? You like it that much?"
Xu Di helped him put on the watch, and it was a suitable size.
"Second sister, this is a watch, a watch. You don't even remember how you wanted a watch at that time. You are no better than me, okay?
Nuannuan, take a look at your uncle's watch. Does it look nice? ”
Xiaojun ran to show off in front of the three children, losing his usual composure.
"A watch, how expensive it is, and the ticket is hard to get, how old is he."
"Mom, Xiaojun is fourteen this year, so he's not a kid anymore. Besides, since I got pregnant, Xiaojun might help me less."
Xu Di knew that a watch was very valuable at that time, but Xiaojun really helped him a lot.
"Okay, I don't care about your business anymore."
Xu's mother knew that Xu Di and Xu Jun had a good relationship since childhood.
"Mom, I'm back."
Mrs. Xu opened the door and came in, only to find her sister-in-law and her husband there.
"Chaoyang and Xiaodi are here."
"Sister-in-law, you didn't sleep last night. Your eyes are black."
Xu Di looked at his sister-in-law who looked haggard. She had stayed up late.
"Well, I didn't sleep well. My mother had severe leg pain and was groaning all night."
"Mom, where are the kids?"
"Xiaojun is playing with them in the room."
Mrs. Xu looked over and saw Nuannuan as well.
"Xiao Di, Nuan Nuan is walking so well now!"
"Well, she likes to run. She starts at a trot."
When Nuannuan was in Xu Di's belly, she had enough nutrition. After she was born, she drank enough breast milk and had a strong body.
"Mom, can you and Xiaojun help me look after the child for a while? I have to stay at my mom's place for a while."
"Stay for a while? How long?"
"It will take at least a month. My mom fell pretty hard this time and she won't be able to recover in a short time."
Mrs. Xu knew that her mother's pelvis was broken and the chances of recovery were low.
"Didn't we say that the five of you would take turns serving for one day each? Why do you have to keep watch alone now?
In this way, you work during the day and stay up all night, and your body can't take it.
An Yue is not even one year old yet, and is just at the age where she needs her mother. She has been crying non-stop for the past two nights.
Besides, I can’t always take leave. How can Xiaojun take care of the child all day and night by himself?
Happy New Year! Their school is about to start. ”
Xu's mother thinks her eldest daughter-in-law is not in her right mind. Can things be done this way?
"Mom, I have no choice, Xiaojun, please work harder and help me.
The school is just like that now, and the teachers don’t teach much. Can’t Xiaojun take a few days off? ”
"No, how can I take the high school entrance exam if I keep asking for leave? What if I can't get into high school?
The child is your own. Why didn’t you just give him to your brother-in-law? He is still a teenager. ”
Xu's mother was unhappy because her eldest son was not specifically responsible for taking care of the children.
"Xiaojun is babysitting my sister-in-law's child, how come you don't have any objections?"
Mrs. Xu didn’t sleep well, her head was buzzing and her tone was not good.
"I wanted to babysit my second sister's child of my own free will, and my second sister's family are all grateful to me.
Sister-in-law, what about you? Are you taking things for granted? ”
"It's thank you. I will say thank you too."
"My second sister not only said it, but also proved it with her actions.
Look, this is the watch my second sister bought for me. ”
Xu Jun raised his hand, revealing the new watch on his wrist, the silver dial shining.
Mrs. Xu didn't expect Xu Di to be so generous that she actually bought a watch for Xu Jun.
She sat on the sofa and didn't speak for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, this is a family matter, and as a married daughter, I don't want to get involved.
But since you mentioned me, let me say a few words.
Xiaojun doesn't owe you anything, nor does he owe me anything, and he has no obligation to look after our children.
However, there is nothing wrong with brothers and sisters helping each other when they are in trouble.
But you can't take it for granted.
Your mother is not just your mother, your brothers also have responsibilities.
You are not alone, you also have a husband and children. If you are filial, no one will say anything, but don't let others pay for your filial piety. ”
Xu Di didn't want to comment on the Wang family's affairs, as it had nothing to do with her.
"Mom, don't be reluctant to eat those seafood, especially Xiaojun. He is in the growth period, so he should eat more good food to avoid not growing taller.
Nuannuan, let’s go home. ”
Xu Di didn't want to get involved in her mother's family affairs, and her mother was not someone who could be easily bullied.
Nuannuan said goodbye to her uncle reluctantly, she still liked her uncle.
