On the dinner table is a small pot of porridge and a plate of stewed potato chips.

Li Dubao's family of three sat around the table, Xiaohu's whole head was about to be buried in the rice bowl, snorting and eating happily, but Zhou Yaping was pulling the budding rice grains a little difficult to swallow.

She really has enough days like this, every day big rice buds, pregnant people who want to eat some white flour rice can't eat, from the beginning of the month to divide the grain began to calculate the life, afraid of eating too much in the middle, to the end of the month hungry.

"You haven't finished talking just now, is your mother coming?" Zhou Yaping looked up and asked Li Dubao next to her.

"My mother said that I would discuss it with Xiaosi, and I will go to see it in a few days, anyway, you haven't given birth yet. Li Dubao didn't say it, his wife immediately refused when she heard him, if he hadn't given up his face and begged the old lady for help, the old lady would not have thought about it at all.

"What are you talking about, I just didn't give birth, and I can't do anything with a big belly, if your mother can come over early, will you be able to help cook and wash clothes, and you don't have to be so busy." Zhou Yaping talked about this.

"If you really feel sorry for me, I can lose a lot of weight by doing more housework. Li Dubao said with a sullen head.

My daughter-in-law has been raising fat at home since she knew she was pregnant, and she doesn't want to work, or the food at home can't be so difficult. And she is lying at home when she sees the sky, either the pain today or the discomfort tomorrow, anyway, as long as she is allowed to work, there will definitely be uncomfortable places, after going to the hospital a few times, Li Dubao can't afford to toss, after all, it is not a wealthy family, this month's salary is all taken to see a doctor, and I don't see anything, this day can't pass.

So he can only do more by himself, let his daughter-in-law lie at home, and don't do anything to her, so she won't feel uncomfortable.

But this is not a long-term solution, after the second child is born, he has three heads and six arms, and he can't work alone, not to mention his work, he can serve his daughter-in-law in confinement and can't take care of the child, so I want to let the old lady come over to help, and I also want to ease the relationship.

"Do you think I'm unwilling to do it, isn't it all your son who is a moth, as soon as I move, he will be uneasy inside, what do you let me do?" Zhou Yaping glared and argued, she had worked hard enough, she gave birth to a son to their old Li family, and now she is going to give birth to another one, just like her mother said, that is, they are qualified to be on the shelves of their old Li family, and it is also appropriate for them to serve themselves. Besides, the happiest time in a woman's life is the few months of pregnancy, she was stupid last time, and this time she said that she can't lose herself anymore.

Li Dubao stopped talking, because he knew that even if he said it, he couldn't talk about his daughter-in-law.

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that my parents had to watch my brothers' children and didn't have time to serve my confinement, I wouldn't hesitate to use your mother. We have such a place in our house, and then build a floor shop for your mother, and there is no place to turn at home. Zhou Yaping looked at her humble home, and her heart was sour.

This day is so different from what she imagined, I originally thought that after getting married, both of them will have jobs, and it will definitely get better and better, and she is still in charge of the family, so she can buy whatever she wants. As a result, it was not like that after she really lived, she was annoyed by firewood, rice, oil and salt every day.

"By the way, when your mother comes over, you tell her to let her bring the food at home, or if she comes over to eat for nothing, our family can't afford to support it. Zhou Yaping commanded as a matter of course.

Thinking of the old woman's white-flour steamed buns, her saliva was a little uncontrollably crazy. I lived in my mother-in-law's house for less than a year, although the family was poor, but the food was really better than in the city, how to say that the white flour steamed buns or something can still be eaten, and you can still eat some meat every three or five days, which is like now, not to mention meat, it is good to be full.

So this time she was pregnant, and she and her parents also stinked, so she thought about letting the old woman come to serve her, and by the way, the noodles and meat that can't be eaten at home can also be taken to her house, or an old lady can't finish it, so it's better to eat it for her son and grandson.

"My mother doesn't have to live at home, she also moved to the county to live in order to take care of the little four, and our home is not too far, about ten minutes by bike, then let my mother come to serve you and the child during the day, and when I get off work, let her go back to the fourth child. This is the way Li Dubao thought of it, so that both sides can be taken care of.

"What, your mother also moved to the county seat?" Zhou Yaping looked incredulous, "Your sister has been assigned a house?" Now the houses are basically allocated by the public, and the unit will rank seniority according to objective conditions such as the length and level of the workers, of course, there are not many young people who can get a house, like Li Dubao's family, one is a regular worker, the other is a temporary worker, and he has been in the flour mill for seven or eight years, and he has not yet been assigned a single dormitory, which is enough to see how tight the current housing is, and how difficult it is to get a house.

"No, they're renting outside, just like us. Li Dubao was also surprised to hear that the old lady said that there was a house in the county, and after asking, she found out that it was also rented, which was similar to the situation of her own family.

"Oh!" Zhou Yaping felt that this was normal.

"Okay, that's going to save trouble, just let your mother come over during the day and go back at night. But you have to tell your mother that even if you have lunch at our house, she also has to bring rations, and we don't have her share. Zhou Yaping said a little mean.

Li Dubao glanced up at her.

"What do you see, am I wrong, you don't know what the conditions of your own family are, just that little food every month, your daughter-in-law and children can't afford to support it, and you still want to do what your wife does. Li Dubao, I can tell you, if you dare to do this, I will not finish with you. "Zhou Yaping is not afraid of Li Dubao, and now the child in her belly is her greatest confidence.

"That can't make my mother busy in vain, or give my mother five yuan...... "The money is all in Zhou Yaping's hands, Li Dubao can't help it even if she wants to be filial to her mother, she has to discuss everything with her daughter-in-law."

", if I had those five dollars, I would still have to find your mother to come and serve me, and my own mother would still be waiting. Zhou Yaping's eyes widened when she heard him mention money to her mother-in-law.

The reason why she stinks with her parents, is because she hasn't been at work since she was pregnant with this child, and her family has lost more than ten yuan of wages all of a sudden, and her hands are a little tight. Of course, you can't help your parents from time to time like before, which will offend people.

If she was willing to take out five yuan, what would she do with her mother-in-law, her own parents would definitely come over to serve her.

"Look at which daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson, and it wasn't the mother-in-law who came to serve the confinement child. Zhou Yaping felt that it was natural for her mother-in-law to serve her, "Why is your family so different, you have to give money, and it can make people laugh out of their big teeth when they say it." ”

Li Dubao couldn't stand the noise from her, and it was worth compromising again, "Okay, okay, it's all up to you." Don't give my mother money, but don't say what rations you want her to take, how much she can eat as an old lady. ”
