Chapter 189: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Yang Xinyue's mother usually lives with her daughter-in-law in the provincial capital and helps bring her two granddaughters, Yang Xinyue doesn't want her mother to have any opinions with her brother and daughter-in-law.
She is far away, and her mother is a soft-hearted person, and she will only be sullen when she is angry, and she will only complain to Yang Xinyue and her sister if she has anything in her heart. I won't tell my daughter-in-law.
She didn't want to see her mother upset, and she didn't want her mother and brother-in-law to get along badly.
Since ancient times, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law have not been able to get along with their mothers and daughters.
Yang Xinyue's mother chatted with Yang Xinyue while picking vegetables.
Her mother usually only sulks, and she only likes to whisper a lot of words to her and her sister, and she is not very good at telling Yang Xinyue's younger brother. Even if he really has an opinion on his daughter-in-law, he will not mention a sentence to Yang Xinyue's younger brother.
Yang Xinyue feels that it is a lucky thing to have a mother-in-law like her mother.
But the softer her mother's temperament, the stronger her brother-in-law will be, and the more she likes to make her own ideas and treat her mother as a transparent person.
Yang Xinyue's mother chattered again: "Every holiday, I go back to my parents' house first, and then go back to our house." The eldest sister rarely comes back once or twice a year, and she is not considerate at all. The work at home is thrown to the eldest sister. I don't know how many nights I have to stay at my mother's house this time......"
“...... Telling her to have another son, she never cared about it. Our family is rural, there are no sons, and no one burns paper to worship ancestors. In the future, the homestead will be taken back. If the rural people have no homes in the villages, then there is still a home? No one takes care of the graves of the ancestors! Look at the families in the village who gave birth to daughters, after the daughters got married, they did not come back, and the houses of the families were dilapidated, and no one knew them after a few years......
Babbling.
Yang Xinyue didn't agree with her mother's words.
But sometimes I think her mother has a point.
Everyone has a homeland in their hearts, and their homeland is where they belong in their hearts. The villagers can't integrate into the city, they regard the village as their home, the destination of life and death, and they can't even lose their home in the end.
The thinking of rural people is different from that of young people and urban people.
The things that care about are completely different.
Yang Xinyue persuaded: "She has worked hard enough to bring two children, where can she have the energy to raise another one." ”
Her mother disagreed: "Your father and I can still do it, if we really give birth to a grandson, I will call your father to Fucheng and take care of it together, why can't I raise it!"
"Are you willing to live with you? Now young people just want to live their lives as young people, who likes to live with their in-laws?"
"It's okay to live together, and when the time comes, we'll rent a house in the community and live closer." It's really not okay to not have a son at home. If your cousin also gives birth to a daughter, there will really be no one in our family to worship ancestors in the future. ”
"Now there are few people who are willing to worship their ancestors. This year, I see that there are a few families in the village who do not go back to the old village to worship their ancestors. ”
"They are them, and our family is our family. What has been handed down by the older generation, how can it be said that it is thrown away. The ancestors of the family are buried here, and the family will be gone in the future, how can I do it. ”
Yang Xinyue didn't refute her.
only persuaded: "Don't tell your brother about letting him have a son, beware of him getting angry." Now raising daughters and sons is the same, and they don't seem to want to give birth, so don't talk in front of them. ”
Mother Yang's voice weakened: "I won't talk in front of them, just talk to you and your sister." It's really not good to have a son......"
Yang Xinyue's mother is a person with a soft personality, and she will not talk back loudly when others scold her.
When he was young, he was angry with her milk.
Grandma Yang Xinyue is a strong person.
gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and Yang Xinyue's great-grandmother gave her three points.
Yang Xinyue's great-grandmother only gave birth to one of her grandfathers, and in that era, the family was scarce, so it was easy to be bullied. Her grandmother gave birth to three sons in a fit of anger, and she felt confident in front of her great-grandmother.
The mother-in-law has a soft personality, and marrying a daughter-in-law is also soft, so she naturally has a hard waist. Scared, her mother used to cry by her milk.
In addition, Yang Xinyue's grandmother's family is also a person with a shrunken neck in the village, and it is even more common for her grandmother to bully Yang Xinyue's mother.
She has to be reprimanded every day, and her mother can't do anything to her milk.
Fortunately, Yang Xinyue's grandmother's house is in the village, and there are several uncles and aunts to help her, her mother's house is close, and her uncles also protect her mother, so life is not so sad.
Now that her grandmother is old, she knows that she has to rely on this daughter-in-law to take care of her, but now she is better for Yang Xinyue's mother, and her mother is willing to go up and help her in whatever housework she does.
Of course, it may also be the reason for the smell of the fragrance, and her mother doesn't have many days at home now.
Sometimes Yang Xinyue sees her mother ignoring her milk, and her milk has to get up, and she also feels that her milk is pitiful.
Since ancient times, there have been few good relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Now it's her mother's and brother's daughter-in-law's turn.
In order to make her mother's life better, Yang Xinyue first stood on her brother-in-law's side, and then comforted her mother in private.
She usually persuades her mother to open a little, and the young people's affairs go with the young people and live their own lives.
This society is changing too fast, just live well in the present, and I don't know what will happen in the future.
There's really no need to worry too much.
Her mother always said that she should take care of the graves of her ancestors in the family, for fear that no one would sacrifice in the future.
But now that land is requisitioned from time to time in the countryside, aren't the graves of the ancestors often dug out and relocated?
Who got out of the way?
Yang Xinyue can also understand what her mother said.
Those who want to requisition land and move graves, and those who have children in the family, will pick up bones and move graves. And if no one claims it, if there is no one at home, if there is no man, it may really not matter.
People have to earn a house when they live and a house when they die, and this concept can not be changed overnight.
But society has changed, and so have people's thinking.
If her younger brother and sister-in-law have another son, and mention it in front of them, it will annoy his brother and sister-in-law, Yang Xinyue is afraid that her mother will have a hard time.
Every time Yang Xinyue called her mother and listened to her mother's chatter, she was also enlightened and consoled.
But the minds of the older generation are not something that can change overnight.
Fortunately, her mother is not a troublemaker, and she usually does not compete with her brother and daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are fine.
At noon, Aunt Yang Xinyue came back with her family.
My uncle still looks like an elegant scholar, and he looks younger and more energetic than her aunt every year. My cousin and cousin are also a lot older.
The family happily sat in the hall to talk and chat, and her grandmother was the happiest.
When I'm old, I haven't been out of the village again.
Her aunt is usually in Fucheng, and it is rare to go back once a year.
In the middle of the afternoon, Yang Xinyue's younger brother drove back from Yue's house alone.
Aunt Yang Xinyue was very happy to see it: "Why did you come back?"
Her brother smiled and said, "Come back to have dinner with my aunt and uncle." ”
Her uncle was very happy, and stepped forward to hook Yang Xinyue's younger brother's shoulder: "What about the wife and children?"
"I'll pick them up in two days. ”
