Chapter 45: Mother and Daughter
Seeing that his parents were delighted with the gifts he gave and felt sorry for his indiscriminate spending, Manaine only felt that no matter how much he suffered, no matter how much he suffered, it was worth it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's the New Year, everyone has a gift, and I bought it for myself. Don't worry, Dad, I won't spend money indiscriminately, I still want to buy a house in the provincial capital after making money, so that you can go there to retire. ā
"Huh!" Regarding what their daughter said, the couple only thought she was coaxing themselves to be happy. After laughing, he didn't take it to heart, "Okay, put everything away first, let's work first." This year is your sister's first year of marriage and New Year's greetings, but we have to prepare well, and we must not let that princess look down on her. ā
Speaking of her eldest daughter's mother-in-law, Bao Junlan remembered what she had done. I couldn't help but work and said to my little daughter: "I have never seen such a mother, the same son, why is the eldest son not pleasing to the eye?" Don't give anything, don't say anything, and worry about it. When the corn is harvested in the fall, the investment is theirs, and the natural harvest is theirs. Not only did he not give your sister a little corn, but he also gave them a penny when he sold it. But when it comes to work, I call your sister and husband every time. I've never seen parents like this. ā
"That's a little more money? If you don't give it, you won't give it, and the New Year's land will not be your own? If you like it, you can plant it, and if you don't like it, you can rent it out, so as not to get angry with them. "This kind of thing, my sister should have encountered it in her previous life, right? It's just that at that time, I was too busy to take care of myself, and I didn't have the energy to help my sister. She had already thought about it, this time she would go back to see if there was a suitable job for her sister and brother-in-law, and while they didn't have children yet, it was always better to go out early than to plant so much land at home.
"What do you know? Although this is a small matter, and that little money is not a big money, it reflects the old woman's thoughts. She didn't even look at her eldest son out of the corner of her eye, so naturally your sister, the eldest daughter-in-law, didn't like it either. If you don't like it, you don't like it, and we don't have to point to her to live, I'm worried about what will happen to your sister in the future? If the second daughter-in-law comes up, won't the old man give them all the things? The main thing is, what to do when people are old in the future? You can't always take advantage of it over there, and when you're old, it's useless, and then give it to your sister, so isn't your sister beaten to death? You also know that your sister is soft-hearted and can't be ruthless to anyone. Can you still watch the old couple get angry and don't care about themselves? ā
Thinking of her eldest daughter's character, Bao Junlan is really worried, so even if her eldest daughter has just gotten married, she has already begun to worry about her future days.
Looking at his mother's worried look, and then seeing his father sigh with him, Manaine didn't understand. "What's there to worry about? Their family is a son, and that one is also a son. Besides, when you're old, you don't know what the situation is. Maybe at that time, my sister and her family can make money, and her old woman will come to her and coax her? ā
Listening to her daughter's words, Bao Junlan shook her head. "Your brother-in-law is an honest rural boy, and he doesn't have any skills, so he can make a fortune one day? How much hard work does it take? Can the body withstand it? Your sister must not follow the bad heart? Hey, I said I wouldn't let her marry Wang Peng, but this girl just didn't listen to me. What do you think? This is just the beginning, and I have encountered such a terrible thing, and I don't know what will happen in the future. ā
"It's the New Year, don't talk about these things." Seeing his wife sighing, Ma Changtai was also in a bad mood and hurriedly changed the topic. "Erya, what did you learn from that self-exam? What will you do when you graduate? Is it easy to find a job? ā
Bao Junlan was also nervous about this issue and left her eldest daughter's troubles behind. "Yes, can you tell us what this self-examination is all about? Can you do it? ā
"No problem, this exam is over, and if I look for a job again, I can say that I have graduated from a junior college. As for the job, it's marketing, helping to plan some sales activities or something, and it's easy to find a job. Of course, this is only a superficial reason, the real reason is that Mainai did not say that he wants to do his own business, and it is very important to understand the market.
"That's good, that's good." Ma Changtai was relieved.
Bao Junlan thought of a very important thing, "Then your personal problems can't be considered now?" ā
Remembering that his mother had called him to tell him about the other side, Manaine felt black lines all over his head. "Mom, my personal problems are still early, so you don't have to worry about me."
"That's it, how old is the child, and you start to look like her." As soon as Ma Changtai finished speaking, he met his wife's complaining eyes, and hurriedly said, "I've been busy for so long, and Erya's breakfast hasn't been eaten yet?" ā
"Ah, I forgot." Bao Junlan also remembered this matter after her husband said it, and hurriedly began to prepare breakfast for her second daughter.
Ma Naina stopped her, "Mom, no need, I'll eat a bean bun in a while, who will eat the rice porridge in the morning if you say there is a bean bun?" ā
On winter mornings, mom and dad usually cook rice porridge with some pickles and stir-fried cabbage, which is very nourishing to the stomach. However, rice porridge must be eaten at the time, and it is not so delicious when it is cold and hot. So Manaine stopped his mother, who was going to give her a hot meal.
Thinking that what her daughter said was reasonable, Bao Junlan didn't insist anymore. However, Ma Changtai glanced at his daughter distressedly, remembering some snacks and candies he had prepared for the New Year. Putting down what he was doing, he entered his and his wife's house, and quickly came out of it. handed the youngest daughter a handful of candy and peanuts, "You eat a bite first, the bean bun will be good for a while." ā
said that he didn't care whether his daughter ate it or not, so he put it in front of her, turned around and went out, holding firewood and boiling steamed bean buns.
Seeing her husband feeling sorry for her daughter, Bao Junlan glanced at the second girl jealously. Snorted, "You stinky girl is back, look at your father's appearance?" It's really infuriating to look at. ā
Ma Nanai also saw her mother's thoughts, and raised her eyebrows ostentatiously. "Jealous? There's no way, people say that your daughter was her father's lover in her previous life, so you're already yesterday's yellow flower. Let's resign ourselves to fate! ā
was laughed angrily by her daughter's words, "What is the dead girl talking about?" I'm jealous, but it's him who is jealous, always showing him, I don't know where the things are at home or you don't know? Just show him off, bring it to you as if I was my stepmother? ā
"Hehe, are you telling the truth, Mom?" I bumped my mother's shoulder on the shoulder and asked her in a whisper. What she got was an angry glare and a hard pinch of her face.
The Ma family is warm and happy, but Zhou Ling's family is busy and depressed. Zhou Ling also bought gifts for her family, but it was not as good as Manaina's purchase. But just like that, Zhou Ling was also complained by her mother and father that she was spending money indiscriminately, and when she said that she had a boyfriend and was a soldier, her parents had more opinions about her.
Even though she was helping her mother prepare New Year's goods and clean the glass windows, her mother was still working behind her while counting. "How old do you think you are? In a hurry to find a partner? It's not that you can't get married, why are you in such a hurry? Or do you have something with someone? ā
This is the first time Zhou's mother has asked this, Zhou Ling can't remember, but her anger is getting bigger and bigger. Throwing the rag in his hand, he turned to look at his mother who was following behind. "Mom, what do you mean? Do you want me to be an old aunt and make money for the family all the time? Or can't you see me living a good life and say that I have some and no of these? Don't you know who I am? I'm your daughter, how can you say that about me? I wonder if I'm your own daughter? ā
Being robbed of her daughter like this, Zhou's mother was a little annoyed and angry, but listening to the words asked by her daughter, she was a little weak-hearted. Staring at her eyes, although she looked very strong, only she knew how weak she was. Because almost all of what my daughter said was true. "What are you talking nonsense? You are my daughter, why can't I see you living a good life? I just think you're still young, how can you get a partner so early? Besides, do you know people you know out there? Don't be fooled? If you want to get a partner, I can give you a piece of money at home? How can you find someone to be a soldier? What is his future? When you come back in the future, will you follow him home to farm? Can that kind of day be as comfortable as it is now, when the wind can't blow and rain can't get wet? ā
Zhou Ling looked at her mother who was loud in front of her, and a sad feeling rose in her heart. I wonder if Maanai's mother is talking to her daughter like this? "Mom, do you still have a place for me in your heart?"
Zhou Ling's voice was very soft, but it sounded clearly in Zhou's mother's ears, making it difficult for her to pretend that she couldn't hear it. She originally wanted to continue preaching, but she was also blocked by this sentence, and she couldn't say anything. Yes, she is her own daughter, but because she is a girl, she has not been liked by her mother-in-law since she was a child. usually doesn't help himself take care of the child, and despises that he can't give birth to a son. While taking care of the children, she also has to work, that is, after the girl is ten years old, she can help herself with laundry and cooking, and she is more relaxed. And since her son came to this world, her mother-in-law and father-in-law have also given themselves a smile, and they can also help themselves do what they can. Therefore, I attach more importance to my son in my heart. In fact, the sister and brother are only two years apart, but the labor paid by the daughter is beyond the reach of the son. Is her heart for her daughter really what a mother should have?
Seeing her mother fall into deep thought, Zhou Ling sighed. Mom still has her own status in her heart, at least when she questions her like this, she will still think about what she did for her, and what she did for herself. But what about his father? Since he was a child, he has never given himself a smile, that is, he has been able to help and make money in the past few years, so he can give himself a good look. Sometimes, she really wonders if she is the biological child of this family. She still remembers that when she was a child, she secretly asked the eldest lady next door, and the eldest lady touched her head and sighed, but firmly told herself that she was their biological daughter. At that time, I even thought to myself, how nice it would be if I wasn't their biological daughter? Then I don't have to look at their faces, and I won't be sad about their unfair treatment.
Now that I have grown up, it is no longer the time to need the love of my father and mother, but the regret in my heart is getting deeper and deeper. The disappointment with parents is also getting deeper. At this time, not only did he take back the money he earned for his younger brother to spend, but also took over the work on his mother's shoulders at the moment he returned home and helped his mother do it, so that she could relax for a while. I feel sorry for her, has she ever felt sorry for herself? I have a boyfriend, let alone happy for myself, but I am still so repulsive? Do you really want to make money for this family and your brother for the rest of your life? Is there anything else to expect from such parents themselves?
