Chapter 35: Breaking Away
Chen Xiaohe found that after a fight, although Ah Jun was a little awkward at first, he did not have a hatred with his parents, but had a closer relationship with his father.
When he got up early the next morning, Ah Jun was much more refreshed, consciously dressed and ate, carried his own rice bag, and took the kitchen garbage.
Because the schoolbag was too heavy, Su Fa carried it every time.
Chen Xiaohe stood on the balcony and looked, and after Ah Jun went downstairs, he called "Daddy, Daddy", more enthusiastic than before.
Chen Xiaohe felt very miraculous that the child was not really angry with us adults.
They have a big belly, and they will try to love and tolerate any kind of parents.
Chen Xiaohe sent the two people away, and while Ah Fu was still willing to play with blocks there alone, he began to plan to do housework.
Washing dishes, mopping the floor, doing laundry, putting away toys, one by one, waiting in line to be completed every day.
Looking at the mess everywhere in the bedroom, living room, sofa, floor, desktop, etc., Chen Xiaohe had to admit that he was not so good as a housewife.
First of all, there is a lack of identity in personal will, and being a full-time housewife is purely due to unfavorable support and last resort;
Secondly, the business ability is unsatisfactory, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the baby are barely and lackluster.
If you have to say it, it may be a shame that you are better than grandma.
Chen Xiaohe is now inexplicably sympathetic to his grandmother who was driven back to his hometown.
Now the only thing that Chen Xiaohe is strong is the spiritual motivation to give Ah Jun and Ah Fu a happy childhood, and the power of maternal love is still bursting.
Chen Xiaohe encouraged himself.
In fact, from the day after his grandparents left, Chen Xiaohe's big project to realize the family makeover began.
Every morning, before accompanying Ah Fu out to go out to let off steam, and after coaxing Ah Fu to fall asleep in the afternoon, Chen Xiaohe spent all his energy on throwing out garbage.
Chen Xiaohe first threw out more than a dozen bags of garbage from the room where the baby's grandparents lived, not counting the several large suitcases and large packages that grandma had taken away from the 15-square-meter bedroom, I really don't know how the grandparents lived in this cramped space.
The garbage included old clothes of unknown origin, oil-stained pillows and bed sheets, and the tattered quilts and cotton wool that his grandmother slept in (which Chen Xiaohe brought to school from his hometown when he was in college and used after graduation), as well as countless toilet papers, plastic bags, leaflets, insect-eaten baby teething biscuits, countless pencils, crayons, and watercolor pens.
After that, I also threw away the big and stupid coffee table that I always wanted to throw away but my grandparents didn't allow me to throw away. This coffee table was moved back to her bedroom by her grandmother, so that she had to step on the coffee table to go to bed when she went to bed.
The coffee table was finally thrown down when Su Fa came back, the old furniture was dead, and Su Fa also spent a lot of effort.
After clearing the garbage in the second bedroom, Chen Xiaohe felt like a hostess for the first time.
Finally, I realized my wish to want everything in the house and throw it away.
In the first few days, Chen Xiaohe had to wake up smiling every day.
But within a few days of such a good day, Chen Xiaohe found that even if he was tired and broke his waist every day, his home still did not reach the realm of bright windows and comfortable physical and mental health.
The freshly wiped floor was soon spilled by Ah Fu's milk, the toys that had just been sorted out could be poured everywhere by Ah Jun, and the freshly wiped dining table and chairs were almost the same as the disaster scene after a meal.
Chen Xiaohe's dream of a beautiful and warm home has not yet been realized.
It seems that this family is not only throwing away garbage, but also the family's long-term developed living habits.
Chen Xiaohe borrowed a copy of "Breaking Away" from the library to see it, and after reading it, she had a new understanding of cleaning.
Cleaning is not a trivial matter, it is a major event related to the happiness of the whole family.
The level of cleaning can show the class of a family and reflect the spiritual outlook of a family.
There may be two reasons why sanitation is not done well:
First, the level of cleaning is not high, only the countertop is placed every day, and the bones are still chaotic, and it can't change the status quo that you can't find socks today and can't find cups tomorrow;
The second is that the living habits are not good, and the neat state cannot be maintained.
Although Chen Xiaohe's family has lived in Shanghai for so many years, it has been difficult to change the living habits of rural people in their bones, at most, they have only changed the fish bones that they used to vomit in the ground with peace of mind to vomit on the dining table.
As everyone knows, when eating in Shanghai, Mo said that the fish bones should be spit on the napkin, and more should be spit in a special bone plate, which is a tableware that has never existed in Chen Xiaohe's house.
Chen Xiaohe really imagined that it was written in the time-traveling novels he often read, a woman with high skills suddenly crossed over to him, and with the help of the plug-in system, she could immediately lead the whole family to change their faces.
But reality is reality after all, there is no crossing, no system, only trying to improve yourself.
Chen Xiaohe made three major decisions:
The first is to give up, and those that have been useless, temporarily shelved, and outdated and outdated will all be thrown away;
The second is to find a home for every item in the house, ending the situation of a chaotic house and a poor search for things;
The second is to transform the three men in the family and give them fixed rules.
Just do it, Chen Xiaohe watched the children and worked all day at the same time, throwing things, sorting things, and formulating house rules.
In the evening, when Su Fa came home, Chen Xiaohe called the three men to the sofa and took out the first version of the family rules.
Chen Xiaohe glanced at everyone, cleared his throat and began to read, "I set a rule for the whole family today, I hope everyone can abide by it, of course, it is difficult for Ah Fu to comply, we must all help him." ”
Su Fa was the first to complain, "Make a plan again?" Ah Jun, your mother's ability to make a plan is really strong, see how many days can it be implemented this time?"
Chen Xiaohe glared at Su Fa, "Alas, alas, don't destroy my image, the plan depends on everyone to implement it together." ”
Su Fa sighed twice and touched Ah Jun's head, "Okay, okay, let's support mom together." ”
Chen Xiaohe was very satisfied with this effect, "Then I read it, there are 6 family rules: 1. Change slippers when you enter the door; 2. Don't vomit at the dining table; 3. Throw dirty socks into the washing machine; 4. Toys and books will be returned to their places immediately if they look good; 5. No sundries will be placed on the sofa." ”
"Finished?"
"That's it. ”
"That's all?"
"Yes, this is the first step, first implement these rules, and then do the second step. ”
"There's a second step, Mom spare us!"
"Ah Jun, don't shout. You help me be a small cadre, help me keep an eye on everyone. ”
Ah Jun happily accepted the order.
Xiaohe's family rules have received strong support from the whole family.
