In the hospital, when Dongmei gave birth to her second child, it was much easier than when she gave birth to the first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As Dongmei wished, the second child was a daughter, and she was named Trina.
But when Nana was born, Wei Guo's mother was a daughter and was immediately disappointed, she was the kind of rural old lady with a very serious feudal mentality and a very patriarchal attitude.
She wrapped Nana in the prepared clothes and put them on the table, letting her cry loudly, without the importance of walking on thin ice when Tao Tao was born.
The baby Nana cried for a long time, tired of crying, and gradually lost her voice, but she did not sleep, probably thirsty.
Wei Guo's mother took the sugar water that had already been melted and fed it to Nana with a small iron spoon.
The little baby was so thirsty, she opened her mouth, and Wei Guo's mother fed her a spoonful, and she took a sip and drank it gurgling.
After I was full, I slept cutely.
Wei Guo's mother looked at the sleeping baby, and thought silently in her heart, how can the second one be a woman, no, Dongmei has to have another child, and it must be a son.
This one, Taotao, who had stayed at home for several days and had not seen his mother, cried and shouted to find his mother.
The aunt Chunmei, who was in charge of taking care of him, held him in her arms, went to push the family's 28 weighted bicycle, and prepared to take him to the hospital in the township to find his mother, who had given birth to his sister.
Tao Tao is already three years old, and compared to children of the same age, he is tall and heavy, and Chunmei feels very heavy and laborious to hold him in her arms.
Chunmei tied a special child to the back seat of the bicycle, with handrails around it, and the handrails are relatively high, so that after the child sits on it, it is not easy to fall down.
Taotao sat in the back seat, and Chunmei took him on a bicycle, swaying left and right on the country road.
In the past two days, the sky is not beautiful, yesterday there was a drizzle, the road was very muddy, Chunmei rode and couldn't ride, she got off the car, parked the car, patted the Tao Tao sitting in the back seat, and said to him: "Obedient, sit down, don't move, I'll go to the side of the road to find a stick, scrape the mud on the spokes of the car." ”
Tao Tao knew that his aunt was going to take him to his mother, so he nodded happily and said, "Tao Tao is obedient." ”
After saying that, he obediently sat in the back of the car and did not move.
My aunt looked for several sticks along the side of the road, but they were too thick, so she went around behind the straw stacks next to the path to look for them.
Taotao, who was sitting in the back of the car, waited for a long time and didn't see her aunt come out, and stretched her neck anxiously to look ahead.
Chunmei found the stick, and was just about to come out from behind the wheat straw stack, when she heard a "bang", and the bicycle fell heavily on the path, and then heard the miserable cry of Taotao.
She hurriedly came out from behind, saw Taotao being crushed under the bicycle, and cried non-stop.
Chunmei was frightened, hurriedly rushed over, picked up the bicycle, and helped Taotao up from the ground, she looked at Taotao distressedly to see if she had hurt the cute child, but fortunately, due to the rain, the ground was very slippery and soft, and Taotao was fine.
She blamed herself for not putting her child on a parked bicycle while wiping Taotao's mud-stained hands.
Dongmei, who was riding back on the bike, felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to tell her sister, so she decided to hide the incident of falling Taotao, so while riding a bicycle, she said to Taotao who was sitting behind: "I'll be in the hospital in a while, my aunt will buy you swan eggs to eat, don't tell your mother that I dropped you." ”
Tao Tao, who had just finished crying, had tears on his face before he dried, but when he heard that his aunt was going to buy swan eggs for herself, she laughed again and said, "Tao Tao is obedient and doesn't tell my mother." ”
Chunmei was relieved, thinking that this kid was really easy to handle, and a swan egg was obedient, so she happily said to Taotao: "What a good doll." ”
As soon as she arrived in the township, the first thing Chunmei did was to go to the cooperative to buy swan eggs for Taotao, and she bought two.
Tao Tao happily took the swan eggs, one took it in his hand and ate it, and the other stuffed it into his clothes pocket.
Tao Tao wants to eat swan eggs every day, but he will only buy them for adults when they go on the street.
In less than a while, Tao Tao finished eating the first swan egg, but always covered his pocket with his hand and did not eat the second swan egg.
The aunt looked at Taotao in wonder and asked him, "I'm hungry, why don't you eat the second swan egg?"
Taotao covered his pocket with his hand, turned around and said, "Don't eat the second one, the second one will be left for my sister to eat." ”
When Chunmei heard this, she was moved, she didn't expect Tao Tao, who was just three years old, to be so sensible, and she knew how to leave a swan egg for her sister, she said in her heart that this child is so cute and kind.
As soon as he entered the ward, Taotao, who hadn't seen his mother for a few days, shouted "Mom" in his mouth, and happily threw himself into Dongmei's arms.
When Wei Guo's mother saw it, she quickly grabbed Taotao and told him: "Mom just gave birth to her sister, and her body is still very weak, so she can't hold you." ”
After Taotao heard this, he also saw his mother's weak face, so he obediently stood next to his mother and looked at his sister Nana in his mother's arms.
Chunmei, who was standing next to her, looked at Taotao, who didn't speak, and thought to herself that this kid was really good, and he could really keep secrets for himself.
But when Chunmei hadn't finished thinking about what was in her heart, Taotao, who was standing next to her mother and looking at her sister, pointed to her little knee and said, "Mom, just now my aunt was on the road, and the bicycle fell and fell on me." ”
Dongmei looked at Taotao's knees with dirt, smiled and said, "Taotao is a boy, I'm not afraid of pain, just rub my knees with my hands." ”
After Tao Tao listened, he slowly rubbed his knees with his two little hands.
And Chunmei, who was standing at the door, blushed with shame and smiled embarrassedly.
Dongmei wants to take Nana, who was just born, and has no time to take care of Taotao, she thinks that Wei Guo's mother is very powerful, a rural woman, the two boys she cultivated, were admitted to school and became commercial food, then she must teach her son to have a way, there is something unknown, so she relieved Taotao to Wei Guo's mother to bring.
One day, the whole family sat together and ate Zhenzi noodles.
But Tao Tao twisted his temper and didn't eat noodles.
Dongmei took Nana in her arms, quickly finished eating a bowl of noodles, and began to breastfeed Nana, and when she saw that Taotao didn't eat noodles, she said angrily to him: "Didn't you want to eat Zhenzi noodles at noon, why don't you eat them now." ”
Tao Tao pouted, put his hands on his stomach, and said with a cow face: "I am going to eat corn hazelnut (a kind of porridge that crushes corn into pieces) now." After speaking, he sat down at the dining table, looking at the fragrant noodles in front of him, unmoved.
When Dongmei heard this, she looked angry, glared at Taotao and said, "Eat quickly, be careful that after I finish feeding my sister, I will clean you up." ”
Taotao knew that he was disobedient, and his mother would beat him, so he just retreated a little, and was ready to eat the noodles in front of him.
I don't want to, but Wei Guo's mother on the side looked at Taotao with a smile and said, "If you don't like to eat noodles, don't eat them, anyway, the noodles in front of you are crispy, come, grandma eat." ”
As she spoke, Wei Guo's mother picked up the noodles and said while eating: "Taotao will sit down first, and when grandma finishes eating noodles, she will go to make corn and hazelnuts for you." ”
After eating noodles in a few bites, Wei Guo's mother went to the kitchen to make a bowl of corn and hazelnuts for Taotao.
Dongmei looked at Wei Guo's mother like an old girl, and brought corn hazelnuts to Taotao with a smile on her face, thinking that this is too used to children.
Seeing that the corn hazelnuts were ready, Tao Tao happily picked up the spoon, but as soon as he ate two bites, he threw down the spoon, closed his eyes, and pouted silently.
Dongmei stood up angrily and said to Taotao: "Eat quickly, otherwise, I will spank you later." ”
Wei Guo's mother touched her grandson Taotao's head and said, "My good grandson, why don't you eat again, then what do you want to eat." ”
Tao Tao opened his eyes and said, "I want to eat scrambled eggs." ”
Wei Guo's mother frowned and said: "My grandson is so smart, he knows that scrambled eggs are nutritious, okay, grandma will fry them for you." ”
After speaking, Wei Guo's mother was about to go out to scrambled eggs for Taotao.
Dongmei looked at it and thought that this is too used to children, and the child will give whatever he wants, which is worth it, and if it goes on like this, it will be strange if the child does not eat it when he grows up.
So Dongmei walked up to Wei Guo's mother, stopped Wei Guo's mother and said, "Mom, don't give him scrambled eggs." ”
After speaking, he turned around again, looked at Taotao and said, "You have to eat today, you have to eat, if you don't eat, you have to eat, I have to watch you eat corn and hazelnuts." ”
After saying that, Dongmei couldn't wait to go up and kick Taotao's little buttocks.
Wei Guoma's brows were furrowed again, and he and Dongmei defended and said: "If the doll doesn't eat it, don't force the doll to eat, don't say it, I'll go and scramble eggs for the doll." ”
Dongmei saw that Taotao was like this, and her mother-in-law was still protecting him, so she said angrily to Wei Guo's mother: "Mom, you can't do this, it's not good for him, it's bad for him." ”
Wei Guo's mother just walked to the door, retreated back, and said to Dongmei not to be outdone: "I gave birth to a baby at the age of eighteen, and I brought up all four babies, I don't know how one is good for the baby, how one is not good for the baby, do you want to teach me a lesson?"
Dongmei can back down in other aspects, but in terms of educating children, she argued: "People say that three years old see the old, from the age of three, the child's character is slowly formed, and when he grows up, he is stereotyped, and he can't change it, now he is not strict with him, he has been used to him like this, how can he do it?"
Wei Guo's mother is a powerful person, although Dongmei, who is standing opposite her, is more than a head taller than herself, but she is not afraid of quarrels at all, and decided to give an example, using facts to defeat the theory, she said: "I won't take children, you go to our village to inquire, in addition to my family, whose children can go out of the countryside, I have brought them like this since I was a child, and I haven't seen them grow up, how bad they are, how nonsense." ”
Maybe it was because she heard the loud quarrel between the two adults, the baby in Dongmei's arms cried, Dongmei shook the baby, and asked Wei Guo's mother rhetorically: "Your son is good, what about your daughter, Wei Guo's sister, just because she is a woman, you don't let her study, she is not only illiterate now, but also can't even sell food." What about Wei Guo's sister, or because she is a woman, she missed the school entrance examination by two points in the first year, you said that you would not let her repeat her studies, and quickly married her, and Nana, just because she is a woman, she was just born, you don't hug it, you don't look at it. ”
As she spoke, Dongmei's tears fell, she wiped a handful of tears with her sleeve, and said to Taotao as she walked out: "Don't listen to your mother, what will you do when you grow up in the future." ”
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Wei Guo's mother seemed to realize something, sighed, still pulled Taotao, and said to him: "Go, my grandson is good, grandma will go out and scramble eggs for you." ”
As soon as Tao Tao heard that there were scrambled eggs with oil and aroma to eat, he jumped and followed his grandmother out.
