Chapter 11: Two Little Angels
Early the next morning, Lu Tao came over and picked up Yangyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info With my mother-in-law to help me take care of the children, I can also take a quiet nap at noon, since giving birth to Yangyang, I haven't had a good nap.
A month has passed, during this period, I have not been to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law has not come to me, Lu Tao is the messenger between the two of us, and is responsible for passing a little angel between the two of us every day - Yangyang! Every day, when I hand over Yangyang to Lu Tao, I always ask Lu Tao to give my mother-in-law a few words, the content is generally whether Yangyang had any abnormalities last night, how well I slept or not, or what food I fed Yangyang this morning, etc., about Yangyang's diet and physical condition for nearly ten hours, so that my mother-in-law can reasonably formulate a plan for Yangyang's care for that day. And at night, when Lu Tao sent Yangyang back to me, he would also bring a bunch of things that his mother-in-law said to me, such as Lu Tao would often relay this: Don't feed Yangyang anything, he eats a lot during the day; or tomorrow to dress the child thicker, the temperature will drop; Or don't feed cold food, Yang Yang is diarrhea and so on. In this way, we exchange information every day, for fear that there is no good connection, which will make Yangyang uncomfortable.
Of course, problems will always arise, Yangyang is the same as other children, coughing, runny nose, and loose stools are difficult to avoid, not to mention that it is now the autumn and winter when the temperature is getting colder and colder, which is the frequent period of colds. Whenever Yangyang has any discomfort, I can't help but wonder if my mother-in-law didn't put a hat on Yangyang when she took Yangyang outside the house and caught a cold, or ate too much for Yangyang, etc., my mother-in-law is the same, I often think that I didn't cover Yangyang with a quilt at night or the water was too cold when I took a bath for Yangyang, etc., whenever this happens, Lu Tao has to listen to a lot of nagging whether he comes to me or goes back to his mother's side, that is to say, my mother-in-law and I have to quarrel from time to time without meeting or calling, through the person who spreads the word in the middle.
Therefore, I think it feels good not to meet my mother-in-law, otherwise, there will be a lot of entanglements between us because of Lu Tao or Yangyang. But it was impossible not to meet, and it didn't take long for me to have to go to see my mother-in-law, because Lu Tao called me and said that he went to the provincial capital to buy goods and came back late at night, so I asked me to go to my mother-in-law to pick up Yangyang by myself.
After getting off work in the afternoon, I went to see my mother-in-law with a complicated and slightly heavy heart, and I simulated a variety of scenes after meeting my mother-in-law along the way, and I also practiced the lines I should say after seeing my mother-in-law, I was always worried about what unpleasant things would happen to my mother-in-law, although I am not afraid of this "Lafayette" now, but I don't know why, there is always an inexplicable nervousness before seeing her. Seeing your mother-in-law is always better than seeing your own mother, even if you have just quarreled with your mother, you may turn around and return to her without thinking, or even simply lie down on the bed, waiting for your mother to cook to coax yourself to eat. In front of my mother, I will always be a child, I can be coquettish or cheating. But in front of my mother-in-law, it was different, there seemed to be a mountain between me and my mother-in-law, and it was difficult to communicate.
In fact, my mother-in-law had already quit the rented house outside and moved back to the house where Lu Tao and I lived after we got married. In this way, the mother-in-law can take better care of her husband, son and grandchildren. Besides, because I resolutely don't go back to live, my mother-in-law has nothing to say when she takes back the house. I know that my mother-in-law is very hard, taking care of a large family, like a super nanny. Fortunately, it was not me who asked my mother-in-law to watch the child for me, but my mother-in-law took the initiative to see it, otherwise I would not be able to do it. It's just that my mother-in-law's toughness and domineering always make me timid, and in front of her, everyone's every move in the family has to be under her surveillance, and she has to correct and preach to someone from time to time, and she does the same to me, a foreign daughter-in-law, and often talks to me in a tone of command and reproach, which makes me very unaccustomed and unhappy. Although we lived separately later, my mother-in-law did not relax her vigilance against me and Lu Tao at all, and often remotely controlled us, which made me feel that I still had no freedom. My father-in-law was the opposite, and it was hard to hear him say a word throughout the day. It is no wonder that after decades of being together with a strong woman like my father-in-law and mother-in-law, the sharpness of the year has long been worn out, and finally I obey my wife's command every day like a soldier, even though he was a government official before he retired. As for the children of the Lu family, like their parents, they are polarized, my sister-in-law completely follows her mother and does not show weakness everywhere, while Lu Tao and his younger brother Lu Hai follow their father and are silent all day.
My mother-in-law's house is a very casual house in the style of a bungalow and a single courtyard, and there are two large jujube trees with covered roofs in the courtyard, which is my favorite when I grew up in the countryside. In the hot summer, the whole family can freely sit under the jujube tree in the yard to eat; When you are alone, you can close the courtyard door and take a big basin of hot water in the courtyard. Unlike the compound I live in now, the courtyard has been crowded with small kitchens or small storage rooms built by residents out of old bricks and broken tiles, and there is only a crooked aisle in the middle, and when I get home, I can only lock myself in that small space. But the world is unpredictable, but I didn't expect that I only lived in the single courtyard of my in-law's house for more than a year.
When I walked in, the two babies were sitting on the bed with their grandfather, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law were around the bed, and the three adults were happily playing with the two little ghosts.
"Mom, I'm going to take Yangyang back."
I simply said hello to my mother-in-law, walked directly to Yangyang's side, prepared to dress him and put on his hat, and hugged him away.
"Wait a while, you just came in from outside, your body is full of air conditioning, it will make the child cold, you drink hot water and wait for the body to warm up before holding the child."
My mother-in-law pushed me and told me to wait a few minutes before holding the baby. It's not winter yet, how much aircon can I bring in? Helpless, I poured a cup of hot water and drank it, this is a task, I have to drink it if I am not thirsty, otherwise my mother-in-law will not let me get close to Yangyang, although Yangyang was born by me. But as soon as Yangyang saw me, he opened his two little arms and asked me to hug him, and my mother-in-law saw it and gave him a rubber dog for him to play with, and when he saw the toy, he was immediately attracted to it, and immediately forgot about my mother, and began to study this barking rubber dog. Yang Yang grabbed the rubber dog with his little hands, and every time he pinched it, the rubber dog squeaked, and the sound attracted the little cousin Yueyue who was sitting next to him. The little cousin, who was fifty days older than him, turned around, and as soon as she saw the rubber dog in Yang Yang's hand, she immediately threw away the rag doll in her hand, and then snatched the rubber dog from Yang Yang's hand with lightning speed, so that Yang Yang didn't react for a while, he first looked at his two empty little hands, and then looked at the faces of everyone around him, and found that no one sought justice for him, so he decided to crawl over and ask his sister for it. But Yang Yang is obviously not brave enough to be more than timid, he tried to snatch two times from his sister's hand but failed, his sister grabbed it very tightly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his sister turned around, so Yang Yang chased his sister around on the bed and couldn't get his things back. I originally thought that Yang Yang would cry, but to my surprise, Yang Yang did not cry, but easily gave up the begging, and picked up a poker next to him and played.
"Can't you let my brother go? It's really your mother, and it's not reasonable at all. ”
The mother-in-law who was watching the battle smiled and criticized her granddaughter, it was obvious that this criticism was actually a kind of praise, and it could be seen that the mother-in-law was more satisfied with Yueyue's strength.
"Yangyang, up! And my sister snatched the dog back. The sister-in-law concluded that Yang Yang was no match for her daughter, so she deliberately pulled Yang Yang's little hand to Yueyue's side, encouraging him to attack again, showing her excitement of wanting to see Yang Yang's fiasco again.
Fortunately, Yang Yang didn't listen to his aunt and was very satisfied with playing cards with patterns.
"My son is so cultivated, he knows how to be polite to ladies at such a young age." Secretly anxious for my son, all I can do is say a word or two to defend him, I'm an adult, I can't get involved and take the toys back for him, right?
I thought that this battle was over for the time being, but I didn't want to, Yueyue suddenly threw away the rubber dog again, pounced and snatched Yangyang's playing cards away. Yang Yang's reaction was still the same as just now, he was not angry, and he was constantly looking around him for the next plaything, but this time he found nothing. Then he began to ask for help, he looked up at me, pointed at my sister with one hand, and said nonsense. I don't know if he told me about my sister or if I wanted me to help him get his toys back, but I didn't respond to him, I wanted to see what he was going to do next, and I knew how capable my son was and what place he could occupy in the world he lived with his sister. Although it seems that Yang Yang is at a disadvantage now, maybe when he can't bear it anymore, he will suddenly break out and win in one fell swoop! Sure enough, as I expected, Yang Yang saw that he couldn't get foreign help, and began to attack himself, he suddenly grabbed his sister's sleeve with one hand, and forcibly regained his things with the other hand, his speed and strength were beyond the imagination of everyone around him. But the strong Xiao Yueyue obviously couldn't tolerate Yangyang's rebellion, like an angry kitten, opened her five fingers, and grabbed Yangyang's face in full view, just in Yangyang's "Wow!" At the same time as I burst into tears, several adults around me rushed over at the same time, and I immediately held my son in my arms, while my sister-in-law and mother-in-law pulled the little female devil to the other side.
Yang Yang's little face was scratched by the evil sister with a blood mark that was a centimeter long, and the blood was about to ooze out! Yang Yang cried in pain, and all the snot and tears flowed out. I was really angry, and after wiping my face clean for Yangyang, I picked up Yangyang and walked out, without saying a word.
"Wait a while, apply some purple potion to the child before leaving, I'm afraid of infection!" My mother-in-law pulled me to give Yang Yang medicine.
"No need, I'll take him to the clinic, such a young child doesn't know if he can use purple potion." I insisted on leaving.
"Usually the two children play well, but today is the first time to fight." The sister-in-law behind me explained to me embarrassedly.
"When children are together, fights are inevitable."
Listen, the mother-in-law has no apologies at all, she can't say that the child is wrong, at least the adult who takes care of the child is derelict in her duty, although it is common for children to fight, but it is not good to try to stop it, and it is not good to hurt anyone. But I was more surprised that such a young child, without any adult influence, could show such a completely different nature! Why is Yueyue so strong and Yangyang so docile? They are less than one year old, and their temperaments are so different. This shows that babies also have personalities! And this innate personality is difficult to hide throughout his life, and will accompany him throughout his life, and distinguish him from others in some ways.
"If I continue to fight like this, I won't dare to send Yangyang over tomorrow." I took my mother-in-law's words and said angrily.
"Look at what you said, it's not a daily fight, it's not right to be angry because of the child!" My mother-in-law started to reprimand me.
"Alright, I'm leaving." I didn't say anything more, pushed the door and walked out of the yard. I don't want to quarrel with my mother-in-law, one says horizontally, and the other says vertically, can you make it clear?
"Remember to go to the health clinic and give your child some medicine!" After I walked out, my mother-in-law shouted behind me.
I didn't respond and walked away without looking back.
After giving Yangyang a simple disinfection treatment to the clinic, I took Yangyang back home, and I called Lu Tao and my mother with a breath of breath, and I cried a little, but Lu Tao and my mother listened to my report and said the same thing as my mother-in-law: "Children often fight, don't make a fuss!" ”
It seems that I, like Yangyang, have no one to help. There's no way, it's just our mother and sister talking:
"Yangyang, can't you be more powerful, how can a man make a little girl fight like this? It's all in the picture! ”
"Ahh
"What are you afraid of her? Wouldn't it be brave enough? ”
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
"Do you understand what Mom says?"
"Da, da!"
"You're with your dad? No, your dad has a big temper with his mother? ”
"Horn, horn, horn, horn!"
"Alright, let's eat some milk and sleep!"
After I breastfed Yangyang, I went to bed with Yangyang, but as soon as I was confused, I heard someone knock on the door, and I asked:
"Who?"
"I, Lu Tao!"
"I'm asleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"I'll look at Yangyang."
"Let's see tomorrow, Yang Yang is asleep."
"Let me go in and have a look."
"Go, don't bother me!"
I didn't let Lu Tao in, we're still separating, and besides, I'm in a bad mood right now, how unsafe is it to let a man in so late?! I'm used to it alone, no, it's enough to have Yang Yang with me, Yang Yang will never betray me, never make me sad, I believe! I already have a young husband, even if I get divorced in the future, I won't marry again, and when you give him everything you have, he is not uncommon! I already have a son! I won't be alone anymore!
