After marriage, the mother's family never came to their parents' new home.

This time, due to the special situation, the woman who gave birth to the child was already weak, and she had to take care of the newborn child during the "confinement" period.

The day before I learned that my mother-in-law came to the house to take care of my mother, the hero hid the welfare distributed by the hardware machinery factory - only 3 catties of peanuts, saying that it was hidden, but in fact, the peanuts were put at the bottom of the glove tank, and then covered with various other inconspicuous sundries.

There is no high-end furniture at home, and there are only 3 jars of two people hugging each other. One is used to store daily water, one is used to store sundries, and the other is used to store rice and noodles.

Then the hero "worked tirelessly" to put the only half bag of white noodles at home at the bottom of the noodle jar. Use the noodles to press the white noodles tightly.

Nowadays, noodles are a rare food for people to eat, and the price is not low.

At that time, the light industry was underdeveloped, and the process of producing white flour was very poor, but the cost was very high, while the process of producing noodles was relatively skillful, the production cost was low, and the yield per mu of oil wheat was very high, so the selling price of noodles was very cheap. Half a bag of white noodles can be exchanged for a bag of noodles.

Families with poor living conditions can only eat some noodles, and they are not willing to buy or eat white noodles at all.

That's all the food in the house.

After doing this, the hero told his mother with thousands of instructions, saying: "I have prepared the grain, it is in the noodle jar, the child and grandmother are here, just eat the noodles." ”

His mother didn't know that there were peanuts at home, and he didn't even think to mention the benefits he got from the factory, and of course he didn't tell his mother about hiding the white noodles and peanuts. People who have just given birth to a child are already relatively frail, and there are certain difficulties in activities, and they have no time to take care of other things, and the mother has already paid all her attention to the child at the moment, so naturally she will not care so much. It's just that this stunned boy found out in conscience and knew how to prepare in advance for his mother-in-law.

How can you have any extra thoughts about whether to hide something and what to eat when grandma comes?

Grandma is a person in the 20s of the 20th century, who has been bound by feudal ideology since she was a child and is seriously persecuted by feudal society. When he was forced to bind his feet to the "three-inch golden lotus" when he was young, all the toes of his left and right feet were broken raw, which is called "comminuted fracture" in today's terminology.

It is said that when the foot was bound, it was as cruel as the "Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty", and the severe pain caused the grandmother to faint many times, and then woke up under the forcible stimulation of the pain, so that the cycle of fainting and awakening repeated countless times until the ten toes were completely broken.

The pain of broken toes made grandma unable to walk for a while, and she was not allowed to receive treatment at all during the recovery process, resulting in grandma's center of gravity being unstable all her life, walking left and right, looking a little more exaggerated than a duck, and walking a few more steps was even more painful, and she was sweating profusely.

On the way, in order to save money, my grandmother walked alone for 9 hours and walked more than 40 kilometers to serve her daughter.

When she came, her grandmother also carried a large basket of eggs, about more than 100, and she was full of joy and ready to let her daughter make up for her body.

"Sending goose feathers for thousands of miles" cannot describe such a loving mother's love for her daughter and grandson.

When I got home, it was already around 6:00 p.m., and my grandmother dragged her tired body, endured the pain in her feet, and forced her face to smile, for fear that her daughter would see that she was tired and unwell.

"Fourth daughter, Yamato's mother saved eggs for you for two months, and I just want you to make up for it after giving birth, no, I sent it to you. Come on, let mom see the child. ”

Grandma turned her back and laboriously unloaded the basket on the kang, as if she was relieved. Then, support the whole body with your hands, first let yourself sit on the side with your back to the big kang, bend down and move your legs to the kang one by one with both hands, move your body vigorously, move to the side of the child with difficulty, and praise, "Look at this little hair doll, so cute, exactly the same as when you were young." ”

In the process of speaking, grandma kept adjusting her body position, trying to make herself "appear" more relaxed.

Carefully picked up the child and gently kissed the child's face. smiled happily and kept rubbing the child's pink little face with his cheeks.

"Mom, you've been gone all day, you're tired, sit down and rest for a while, I'll pour you some water to drink." Looking at the tiredness of Grandma's body and the appearance of wanting to cover up, the mother did not point out the reason, and said that the mother was ready to get up.

"No, no", grandma immediately stopped her mother's behavior: "A woman's body is the weakest after giving birth, and my mother is here to serve you." How can I make you tired in the 'confinement' anymore. As he spoke, he grabbed in front of his mother and began to do housework and prepare dinner, for fear that his daughter would move more. At the same time, he asked casually, "The child's father is coming back soon, right?"

"Well, I'll be back in a minute. ”

......

No matter who you are, as long as you are with your mother, you will be extremely relaxed, leaving all your worries and sorrows behind, and releasing your nature and immaturity as a child at will. Even if there is no communication, the place where the mother is is the child's cradle and the child's home.

"How did you get here today? I'm pretty good, aren't I?"

"You are in good health, and I said that I would wait for you to come back to see you after your confinement. Winter is coming in a few months, and you're looking at which coal is cheaper, and you're ready to buy some coal for the winter!"

Grandma deliberately ignored her mother's first question, and did not say a word about the fact that she walked for more than 9 hours, for fear that her daughter would worry about herself.

Later, when my mother found out, it was already a few years later.

......

After all, it is a piece of meat that fell from the mother's body, and compared with the son, the daughter always has a lot of private conversations, and she has to talk to her mother for a long time, and she can't finish talking.

From spring planting to autumn harvest, sunrise to sunset, talk about the shortcomings of parents, and taste a product with mixed tastes. The mother and daughter have a very tacit understanding, and no one mentions anything unpleasant.

Grandma's cooking is very simple, egg marinated and noodles.

After a while, my father came home, and when he saw his mother-in-law at home, he couldn't help frowning, and seemed to be a little displeased, so he asked, "Mom is here?"

"Well, I've been here for a while, fourth son-in-law, let's eat. The mother-in-law was at her son-in-law's house, maybe she was a little restrained, so she hurriedly prepared dishes and chopsticks for her son-in-law, filled them full, and handed them to her father with both hands.

My father took the bowl with one hand and picked up the chopsticks on the table at the same time with the other, and ate without raising his head.

"Mom brought us a basket of eggs, more than 100 of them, and my own chickens are delicious. The mother seemed to see the father's displeasure, and hurriedly played a round and said, "These eggs are saved by Dada and my mother for two months, you can taste them quickly." As he spoke, he took a large piece for his father and put it in a bowl.

The mother knew her father's temper very well, and she was afraid that this stunned boy would make a fool of herself in front of her mother-in-law, so she hurriedly answered the conversation in advance, told him in advance that her grandmother had brought eggs, and gagged him before talking.

As soon as the hero heard that his mother-in-law brought eggs, he immediately changed his face, and his face changed from the previous dark clouds to a clear sky, and the change was as fast as a child peeing, which was jaw-dropping.

"Well, that's it, there are so many local chickens in the yard of such a big farmhouse, I should have brought them to your girl a long time ago. After saying that, he was a little unsatisfied, and then added: "Besides, who don't you give us to? The words are full of domineering, and they look like they should be.

After my father finished speaking, the atmosphere in the house was extremely embarrassing.

"What do you say every day, this stunned boy?" The mother pretended to blame her father, and said in her heart: "This dead boy, he has already played a round for you, set up steps, you just go down, you have to make the atmosphere so embarrassing and tense, what is the difference between 'Adou who can't be helped'?" Then he forced a smile and said to his grandmother: "Mom, don't mind, he is like this, he can choke people to death with one mouth, don't pay attention to him." ”

Although grandma has no culture, but after all, she is older, and her life experience and judgment of human nature naturally have her own set of standards, and she can roughly judge her father's character and character with a few words from her son-in-law, so she didn't pick up the stubble, and continued to eat with a "hmm" sound.

After that, everyone lost the interest in chatting. Until they went to bed at night, the three of them never said a word again in a very tacit understanding.

Only when the child who was waiting to be fed cried, I had to say a few words that made the child happy and did not have nutrition to make her happy.

I don't know what the reason is, as long as the father, who is laughing and boasting outside, pulls his face "black" as soon as he comes home, just like the feeling of "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy the city" when the axe gang appears in Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu", the air at home immediately solidifies, making people feel a chilling feeling of suffocation, and it seems that they will suffer from flesh and skin if they say more.

It's a very incomprehensible feeling.

The most vivid memory is to see my father and an acquaintance talking happily, not only what topics make the two laugh back and forth, but also laughing, laughter can be transmitted to 20 meters away. It just so happened that at this time, the mother came from not far away, looking at the excited appearance of the two and was about to say hello, but the surprising result was that the father saw the mother at the moment, the expression of the hippie smiling face immediately changed 360 degrees, and all the facial organs were convulsed and twisted together in an instant, and the fierce and vicious look was like Zhong Kui coming to the world, which made people shudder. The acquaintance was the first time to see a hero who behaved like this, and he didn't care about it at all, and sneered strangely: "Why do you look the same as seeing an enemy when you see your daughter-in-law? Turning your face faster than turning a book? Fortunately, I know that it is your daughter-in-law, otherwise I would still think that there is some kind of deep hatred and hatred of 'killing my father and taking my wife'!" After speaking, he walked away without looking back......

This is him—the hero!

Whenever the hero speaks, the family members have to deal with it with twelve points of spirit, for fear that a distraction will lead to unwarranted disasters.

In this way, during the whole "confinement" period, when the father was away, the three grandparents and grandchildren were happy, talking and laughing; as soon as the father came home, the atmosphere was like the calm before the storm, which was extremely depressed.

It may be that he has not rested in place, or it may be that the depressed atmosphere has caused some psychological pressure, and when my grandmother came to the house on the 7th day, she fell ill.
