Chapter 206
When Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang returned to her parents' home on the third day of the Chinese New Year, they found out that Xu Mei and her husband had secretly run away on the second day of the Chinese New Year, leaving their child at her parents' home.
"Mom, Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt!"
Xu Di and her friends greeted everyone when they entered the door, but the atmosphere felt a bit weird.
"Nuannuan, Tuantuanyuanyuan, come here, grandma will give you New Year's money."
Mother Xu looked tired, as if she had not slept well.
"Where's Xiaojun?"
Xu Di felt very strange because he hadn't seen Xu Jun for a long time since he entered the room.
"Xiaojun went to buy medicine. Maoye and Fengying are feeling a little unwell."
"What's wrong? Do you have a cold?"
Xu Di thought that the two children of Xu Mei might not be able to adapt to the northern weather.
"Xu Di, you may not know yet, but Xu Mei and her husband ran away yesterday."
Mrs. Xu's tone was quite complicated, with a hint of gnashing of teeth and a hint of gloating.
"Run away? Where did you run to?"
Xu Di didn’t understand for a moment, why were two adults running?
"Where can she go? Xu Mei has returned to Yun Province, and her husband has returned to Shanghai to study."
"ah?"
Xu Di finally understood that Xu Mei was afraid that her parents would not help them take care of the child, so she abandoned the child and ran away.
"Mom, if you ask me, Xu Mei is like this because of your indulgence.
Ask around, is there any family like ours that sends gifts and money to our daughter who works in the countryside every month?
Xu Mei and her husband both have jobs and earn a decent amount of money every month.
He must have been spoiled to do such a thing. ”
Mrs. Xu's dissatisfaction was like a raging flood, constantly bubbling up.
"Okay, stop talking. It's New Year's Day, isn't it annoying enough?"
Brother Xu also felt a headache. What was going on?
"It was Xu Mei who caused the trouble, not me."
Mrs. Xu muttered something and said no more.
"Mom and Dad, are the two children still registered in Yun Province? Can they go to the nursery at the machinery factory?"
"Almost. I'll go ask someone. It shouldn't be a problem. Xu Mei is the daughter of a worker from a machinery factory, and she's an educated youth. It shouldn't be that strict."
Father Xu was also angry, but no matter how angry he was, Xu Mei was gone and he couldn't vent his anger on his two children.
"Meili, you don't have to speak so sarcastically. These two children, after all, are our grandchildren.
We helped take care of Ping'an and his friends since they were young. You don't need to help take care of these two children, so why are you so resentful? ”
"Mom, Ping An and the others are Xu's children. They are your grandchildren. Isn't it your responsibility to take care of them?"
"What do you mean by we should? We raised our son and found him a wife, so we have fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. The children are your own, and no one has stipulated that as grandparents, we must take care of our grandchildren."
…
Xu's mother and Xu's sister-in-law quarreled non-stop, and both thought they were right.
Finally, Xu's father smashed a cup to make the two of them quiet down.
Xu Di didn't expect that such a weird thing would happen during the New Year.
She is not Xu's wife, and she thinks that Xu Mei is taking advantage of her parents' family by doing this, which means she is taking advantage of them.
In Mrs. Xu's heart, the money of Mr. Xu and his family belongs to their sons and grandsons.
With the atmosphere at home like this, Xu's mother was not in the mood to cook, and Xu Di and the others were not in the mood to eat. After staying for a while, they took the children and left.
Back home, the children went to play by themselves.
Xu Di hurried to cook until noon.
"Xiao Di, you guys haven't eaten yet?"
"Grandma, I haven't eaten yet. Xu Mei and her husband left yesterday and left the child at home.
The child might be scared and a little uncomfortable, the house was a mess, and we came back without eating. ”
When Xu Di and his grandmother talked about Xu Mei's story, it was hard to describe it in words.
"You are a very opinionated sister. Children who are spoiled and brought up are usually fearless."
"Yeah, my sister-in-law said the same thing. She was so angry."
Xu Di also understood that Xu Mei abandoned the child at her parents' home. From then on, Xu's mother had to take care of her two grandchildren and could not take good care of Brother Xu's children.
“Everyone thinks from their own perspective, so they all feel aggrieved.
Unlike our Xiaodi, who can always think from other people's perspective. ”
Grandma Qian always finds opportunities to praise Xu Di and give her emotional value.
"Grandma, you praised me again."
“I will only praise it if it is worth praising.”
"Ha ha……"
Xu Di was amused and felt better.
Just now at her mother's house, I heard her mother and sister-in-law arguing non-stop, and my mood was affected.
Zhang Chaoyang felt relieved when he heard Xu Di's laughter.
Just now at my mother-in-law's house, my wife had a tense face and felt uncomfortable.
It's the New Year and it's frustrating to encounter something like this.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Zhang Chaoyang, Hao Yunlei and a few others got together.
They haven't gotten together for two or three years because some of them are unable to get away.
"Yunlei, have you gained weight?"
Zhang Chaoyang felt that he and Hao Yunlei had not seen each other for a long time, so why did he seem to be inflated?
"Don't mention it. My wife is in confinement after childbirth, but I am the one who gained weight."
Hao Yunlei also felt quite aggrieved. His wife had a small appetite, and most of the soup his mother cooked went into his stomach.
"Yunlei, are you pregnant?"
Song Hui was also shocked when he entered the door.
"Fuck you, you're pregnant."
Hao Yunlei touched his belly and felt very sad.
"Where's Jianguo? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"How come I didn't know you missed me so much?"
As soon as Hao Yunlei finished speaking, Chen Jianguo came in.
"Damn, you're really in a hurry. You stepped on this."
"You are the only one who talks too much. You never stop chattering."
The four of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they sat down and talked about their respective situations.
"Chaoyang, you won't be transferred back to the south this time, right?"
"Not for now, and in the future, I can't say for sure."
The nature of Zhang Chaoyang's work is special, and the tasks he performs are also special, so there is not much to say.
"What about Yunlei? Are you still in the art troupe?"
"In March, I changed my job to the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles."
Hao Yunlei has been living a muddled life these past few years, just getting by.
It’s no longer possible now. His daughter is born and he has to struggle again.
"It's different now that I have a daughter. My fighting spirit has been aroused."
It was the first time that Song Hui saw a different light in Yun Lei's eyes, and he felt different.
"You don't have a daughter, so you can't understand. I have to fight for my daughter.
I had no reason to struggle before, and I thought it was fine to just eat and wait for death.
Now, looking at my little Jiaojiao, if I don’t work hard, when she grows up and gets married, won’t she be bullied by her in-laws? ”
"Oh my god, you are so imaginative. You are only one month old and you are already thinking about getting married."
Song Hui felt that this guy was thinking too much and was sick.
"You don't have a daughter, so you don't understand. If you don't believe me, ask Chaoyang if he has ever thought about it."
Song Hui has two sons and Chen Jianguo has one son.
"Chaoyang, have you ever thought about your child's marriage in the future?"
"Well, I have thought about it. I also want my second daughter to find a live-in son-in-law."
"What, to carry on the family line?"
Song Hui thought that Zhang Chaoyang wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter because he had no son.
"What are you thinking? We are just ordinary people, there is nothing to spread.
My daughter Nuannuan is like an elder sister and very strong, so you don’t have to worry. My daughter Yuanyuan is a good talker, good at speaking, and she will never suffer any loss. My daughter Tuantuan is very quiet, and I’m afraid she will be wronged in her husband’s family in the future. ”
As an old father, Zhang Chaoyang's heart is broken by worry.
Song Hui and Chen Jianguo thought that these two people were too crazy. The children were only a little old, but they were thinking too far ahead.
"Put away your eyes and stop looking at us like we're idiots. If you don't believe me, give birth to a daughter and see if she has the same mentality as us."
Hao Yunlei felt that these two people were just envious. They didn't have a daughter and were jealous of him and Chaoyang.
"I won't have any more children. These two boys are so naughty that I can't handle it."
"We won't have any more children. The hospital work is too busy and we don't have anyone to help us."
Neither Song Hui nor Chen Jianguo plan to have more children because they don't have enough energy.
"If the next child is also a girl, I would like it, but my wife is determined not to have another one.
I let her do what she wanted. After all, she was the one who suffered from pregnancy and childbirth. ”
Seeing how much his wife had suffered throughout her pregnancy, Hao Yunlei gave up the idea of having another daughter.
"We won't have any more children. Xu Di will be starting school soon, and having three kids is enough to keep us busy.
With this job, I have no time to take care of my family. If my grandma hadn't helped, I can't imagine how busy my wife would be. ”
The four men began to talk about the difficulties their wives had, and they felt even more distressed for their wives.
