Chapter 18 Injuries and Fractures
After a month, I stopped sending my children to my mother-in-law's house because I couldn't see my mother-in-law's smiling face every day. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Tao is not here, my mother-in-law and I have become stranger, I don't want to trouble my mother-in-law to watch the child for me anymore. One day, I told my mother-in-law that I had found a nanny for Yangyang, and my mother-in-law did not object.
In fact, instead of looking for a nanny for Yangyang, I sent Yangyang to a private nursery for children under the age of three, which was very small, only accepting more than 10 children in total, and the location was located in the organizer's house, and the service staff were the director and his husband, two elderly people over 60 years old. In other words, two elderly people take care of the children for more than a dozen families in their own homes to earn some living expenses.
In the beginning, I trusted these two seniors more than the young preschool teachers in kindergarten, because I think they have a lot of experience in taking care of infants and toddlers. But it didn't take long for this idea of mine to be shattered by reality!
One day, when I went to pick up Yangyang, I found that Yangyang pulled a pair of pants! It's hard to imagine how my son would have spent the morning dragging a stinking wet pants on a cold winter's day. The old aunt, who is both the director and the main staff member of this family-style nursery, simply wiped it for Yangyang, and the yellow feces on Yangyang's pants were clearly visible, and the whole cotton pants were dirty and wet, how uncomfortable it was to wear!
"If you want to, don't say anything, who would have predicted it." That's how the old lady explained the problem to me.
"He's only over a year old, and he can't even speak, do you want him to raise his hand to report to you before he poops?" I said to the director of the aunt with some dissatisfaction.
"Then you'd better let him clean it before you send it, or let him eat less in the morning." The old lady's words sounded too unpleasant.
"I will let him squat on the bedpan before the morning comes, so there is no guarantee that he will not poop or pee after he comes, and besides, I can't let the child eat enough in the morning?" I said again.
"We have limited conditions here, and there are not enough people, if you are not satisfied, you can change places!" My aunt didn't care about me as a customer at all.
Because I couldn't find other suitable places to take care of the children for a while, and the unpleasant experience of looking for a nanny in the past also made me afraid to find a nanny anymore, so I had to continue to send Yangyang to this nursery every day.
But a few days later, when I went to pick up the child, I saw a big bag bulging on Yangyang's forehead, and the old aunt said that Yangyang was too naughty, and he fell and hit the floor! I really didn't want to quarrel with the two old people, and I couldn't make sense with them, and I couldn't do anything to make them lose money, so I had to take the child and go to the hospital to apply some potions to him.
After this incident, I didn't send Yangyang to that nursery school again. Also, two elderly people take care of more than ten babies, which is indeed a little too much. But now most of the young couples work outside, for those families whose children are not yet kindergarten age, the problem of taking care of children is indeed a problem, it is good to have grandma or grandma to help, otherwise it is not a good way to ask a nanny and send a nursery, because in this small county, there are almost no professional infant nannies, and there is no professional nursery, so it is impossible to buy high-quality services that satisfy yourself.
There was no choice but to send Yangyang back to his mother in the countryside again.
After sending Yangyang to the countryside, in order to prevent Yangyang's immature respiratory tract from inhaling soot, I took out 1,000 yuan to install a small heater for my mother's house, which is a kind of home-style heating system with a small self-burning boiler outside the house and several sets of radiators inside the house. Then I bought enough coal for the winter. In this way, my mother finally didn't have to burn the coal stove in the house to keep warm, but my father had a new job, which was responsible for burning the boiler 24 hours a day, and he had to get up twice at night to add charcoal to the boiler, otherwise the house would not heat up. This kind of small boiler produced by a small private enterprise is only a little larger than a coal stove, and it is not as powerful as the large boiler in the residential area of the city, and it is quite difficult to drive a house.
So I feel very guilty, since I joined the workforce, I haven't done anything for my parents, only to keep causing trouble for them, my parents raised me until I was in my twenties, married, and had to work for me. I don't know when I'll be able to give back to my parents, will I have to wait until my children are grown up, they are seventy or eighty years old, and I will have the opportunity to take care of them? In fact, most families in China are like this, parents work for their children for most of their lives, raise their children, and are responsible for taking care of their children, and when they are children, at most, they can take care of their parents for a few days when they are old and cannot move, or they cannot take care of them for a day. There are many people whose children are not around before they die. Especially after I gave birth to a child, I deeply realized the hard work of being a parent and the kindness of my parents, and I remembered that I had quarreled with my parents many times before, and I felt really guilty.
After sending my children back to the countryside, in addition to my parents' extra work, I also worked harder than before, because I had to ride my bicycle back and forth between my mother's house in the countryside and my work in the city every morning and evening. And now it's winter, when the snow on the road has not melted, the road is slippery and difficult to walk, and once it melts, it is muddy, and it is still very difficult to walk. My mother once advised me not to come back every day, but I couldn't sleep alone without Yangyang, so I still rode more than ten miles back to the countryside every day for the night. In winter, when I came home from work every afternoon, it was already dark and there were few cars, and I walked alone on a dirt road in the countryside, and I was very afraid of meeting bad people, and I was afraid of the tombs in the fields by the roadside. So, even though I was on the frozen road, I couldn't slow down, I just wanted to get home as quickly as possible, completely forgetting what my mother told me to be safe on the road before I went out every day. Finally, one day, when I was riding my bicycle past a frozen surface, the tires of my bike slipped and I fell into the ditch on the side of the road!
When I got up from the canal, pushed my bike, and limped home, I scared my mom and dad out. At that time, I was bleeding from my forehead, my pants were torn at the knee, and blood was oozing from both palms.
However, I thought it was just a skin injury, so I went to work as usual the next day. But I found that my ribs had a vague pain, especially when I was lying down or sitting up at night, it was even more painful, I had to go to the hospital for a check-up, the orthopedic surgeon asked me to take a picture of my ribs, I couldn't see anything in the photo, but the doctor said that there was a crack at the end of my last two ribs! That is, I have broken ribs! Although it is not serious, the doctor recommends recuperating at home and not going to work! Now it's okay, I took a long sick leave all of a sudden, and I lived in the countryside completely, because of the injury of my muscles and bones for a hundred days, if you want to make these two cracks on my ribs grow well, it will take two months?!
It is a very happy thing to take such a sick leave, I lie in bed all day, just waiting for my mother to bring food, and I don't even have to wash my own clothes, and I have never been treated like this when I am confined!
My task is to play with Yang Yang in bed every day, Yang Yang can already distinguish the family, you just ask him where his grandmother is, he will use his little finger to his grandmother, ask where his grandfather is, he will point to my father, and my uncle and aunt all recognize. I sometimes took a pencil and wrote a few Arabic numerals on the paper for him to recognize, or let him write, but after teaching him for many days, he didn't even remember a single number, and let him write, he could only scribble on the paper and then tear the paper apart!
"Look, you've given birth to a little fool!" Mom said to me jokingly.
"Not necessarily, Ingstein and Edison were both considered stupid students by their teachers when they were children, but didn't they both become big scientists later?" I retorted.
"Okay, okay, come on, is the scientist going to pee? Scientists pee one, right? Mom smiled and picked up Yang Yang, took the potty under his little buttocks, whistled in her mouth, and guided Yang Yang to pee.
In this way, my fall is still good, otherwise I can enjoy this sweet and happy day.
One afternoon, I was lying on the bed sleeping, the sun on the side was also sleeping soundly, suddenly, in the eyes I felt a person standing next to the bed, I knew it was not my mother, because I couldn't hear my mother's small footsteps and busy sounds, this person was silent, motionless staring at me, I was nervous in my heart, thinking if there was a thief? I opened my eyes suddenly, and suddenly saw Lu Tao standing in front of me! I rubbed my eyes again, sat up and looked carefully, it was indeed Lu Tao! Oh my God, he literally fell from the sky!
