Chapter 989: Talk, Listen
When the meal was ready, it was served, and because there were ten people, there were two tables for the men, one for the women, and no one forced the children to share the table with whomever they wished.
Li Shenzhou looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, and smiled at Xu Xiaohua: "Aunt Bai, I'm tired of you and your sister-in-law." ”
"I'm tired of anything, but it's just a meal, eat quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold, try my craft." Xu Xiaohua smiled and enthusiastically served her vegetables.
"Aunt Bai, you don't need to pick up vegetables for me, you eat yours, don't worry about me. Li Shenzhou ate the bowl, which blocked Xu Xiaohua's behavior of adding vegetables and meat, she was not used to eating people's saliva.
Shi Chunhua saw a little bit of the doorway, "Mother-in-law, you eat yours, I'll pick up vegetables for Shenzhou." ”
"That's okay, Shen Zhou, you eat more, see how thin you are, you have to gain weight to give Shen Yuan another child." Xu Xiaohua smiled all over her face, and after speaking, she lowered her head to eat, Li Shenzhou was still a little confused.
Shi Chunhua smiled dryly at her, "Shen Zhou, eat, let's talk after dinner." ”
"Well, okay, sister-in-law. Li Shenzhou came back to her senses, she couldn't bear to look at Xu Xiaohua directly, if she hadn't heard her words in the stove room, maybe she would have thought that the Bai family's aunt welcomed her very much.
After lunch, the three women packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the stove room, Shi Chunhua and Xu Xiaohua finished washing, Li Shenzhou took a rag to the hall to wipe the table clean, and then went back to the stove room to wash their hands.
The stove room was cleaned up, Xu Xiaohua left, Shi Chunhua sat at the stove and continued to boil hot water, and Li Shenzhou sat down on a small stool in the stove room.
Shi Chunhua grinned and asked, "Shen Zhou, have you and Shen Yuan always been in the military region? You haven't come back, and your father-in-law often talks about you." ”
"Yes, my brother can't leave the military region easily, so our family has always been in the military region; however, some time ago, my brother was transferred back to Sijiu City, and we went back with him. Li Shenzhou looked at Shi Chunhua, she had a good impression of Shi Chunhua, "I came back this time because I passed through Province C for some things, and I thought that my brother had less chance to have free time, so I came back to take a look." ”
"He's been busy with things in the army, and he doesn't even have much time to spend with me and humming, and sometimes he spends a day in the army, and he can't see anyone except when he eats. ”
Shi Chunhua looked at her funny, "It's good that the two of you can be together, and there are so many requirements; when you gave birth, we didn't go to see you, you won't blame us, right?"
"How can I blame you? I didn't tell you in the first place, the situation was tense at that time, and it was impossible to have a full moon wine after giving birth, so that a low profile would not cause trouble for myself and my family. Li Shenzhou shook her head, she really didn't mean to let the people of the Bai family run back and forth; there were many things in the army, and they were complicated, and although the military region was in the hands of her brother in those years, there was no shortage of eyeliner and people who were watching.
Even though they sit upright and are not afraid of their watching, they still think that the more low-key the better.
"My Xiaowen didn't do a full moon wine, and I still feel indebted to my Xiaowen. Shi Chunhua seemed to have found someone to tell, chattering and talking, "After giving birth to Xiaowen, I have no milk, and I have always relied on rice soup, as well as asking for some milk from the sisters-in-law and sisters produced in the village to feed; ”
Speaking of these, Shi Chunhua still felt sad, "You don't know, watching Xiaowen cry hungry, thin and thin; ”
The family's money is not in her hands, and her mother-in-law is kind to her grandson, but she will not spend money indiscriminately; she can't buy some food for her younger son, even if she takes a penny to exchange milk with the people in the village! At least when people change it, they are willing, and they can change more. However, she can't touch the family's money, let alone change Xiaowen's milk, and she can't go even if she leaves.
Li Shenzhou listened silently, and his heart was also sour; there is not much gap between women in this era and before, and the only thing that has a gap is that the mothers-in-law of the previous generation are afraid of the policy and dare not really grind their daughters-in-law too hard. And Shi Chunhua was such a bold woman back then, she was smoothed out by life, and she loved the compromises again and again, and now compromise has become a habit.
She is not qualified to say anything about Xu Xiaohua, nor is she qualified to sympathize with Shi Chunhua. She was just sad, the more she listened, the more sad she became, sore, sore, and swelling.
"Shen Zhou, I'm just talking about it in front of you, don't tell my mother-in-law. Shi Chunhua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at her with red eyes.
Li Shenzhou nodded, "I won't say it, sister-in-law, life can always go on, if you have something you want to change, and it is inconvenient for you to come forward, then tell Brother Bai, only a man can avoid the conflict between you and Aunt Bai in this kind of thing." ”
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, this is not wrong at all.
If a daughter-in-law tells her mother-in-law, "You are not like this, you are not like that, it is good to meet a weak mother-in-law, and if you meet a woman who is arrogant and unreasonable, you can fight with your daughter-in-law." Similarly, the mother-in-law is like this, saying that the daughter-in-law is not good like this or that, it will only push the daughter-in-law further.
It is good for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along well, if not, then live separately;
In the case of the Bai family, the son can also live separately when he becomes an adult, and he will be given alimony and food every year, and it is better to live together again when the old man is too old to move, at least it can give the family a chance to buffer. Like those who lived together from the beginning, the contradictions only deepened.
Li Shenzhou thought about it, and his heart began to heavily, and he had to rejoice that she was married to her brother, not another man.
"You're right, I just didn't know how to be flexible before, and I was straight, so what to say; it's okay to talk to my father-in-law with Bai Xiong, but it's boring to talk too much with my mother-in-law. Shi Chunhua smiled gratefully, "Let you listen to me complain." ”
"It's good for my sister-in-law to say it out in her heart, and I have the opportunity to talk to Brother Bai as well, so that Brother Bai knows what you are thinking; She could only love that persuasion.
"Well, remember, I'll communicate with him more; Shen Zhou, do you and Li Shenyuan get along like this?" Shi Chunhua vented in her heart, and the depression between her eyebrows also dissipated.
Li Shenzhou nodded, "Yes! My brother and I have always said something, I know what my brother thinks, and my brother also knows my thoughts; the most taboo between husband and wife is that they hide things in each other's hearts, and the other party doesn't know, and after a long time, everyone will be estranged." ”
