Chapter Twenty-Nine: Too Thick, Too Thick, Still Too Thick
When the mother-in-law saw that Xinxin went back to the room without saying a word, she was very unhappy. I worked hard, day and night, I made cotton clothes and cotton pants for the child, and if I didn't praise it, I would forget it, and I would pick bones in the eggs. Children's clothes should be thick and warm, how can there be thick clothes, and they are not stepmothers!
Mu Nan saw that Xinxin was unhappy, so she hurriedly chased after her. When the mother-in-law saw that her son had followed her daughter-in-law's ass into the house, she was even more unhappy, so she took her clothes and went back to her room in a rage. When I entered the house, I saw that there were still two sets of tailor-made clothes on the bed, and the old lady was upset and didn't do it, but thinking about her grandson's cute appearance, she softened her heart again. Forget it, don't see the daughter-in-law of this little sex! I'm for my grandson, so I'm going to wear it for my grandson. Thinking of this, the old lady felt much calmer, so she picked up the needle and thread and buried herself in it again.
Mu Nan followed Xinxin into the room, and when she saw Xinxin's unhappy face, she said, "Don't be like this, you don't like to let the child wear it, as for throwing your face?" ”
Xinxin glared at him and said, "Why are you so loud?" Close the door first. ”
Mu Nan helplessly went to close the door, and said to Xinxin, "Is it useful?" If you can't hear people, you don't know you're unhappy? ”
Xinxin said angrily: "I'm not saving face for you, if we quarrel, are you comfortable?" ”
Mu Nan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "I know, I know, but I feel bad about you like this." Your mother-in-law has been doing this all her life, so you have to understand it. ”
Xinxin said: "That also depends on the situation." Do you wear such thick clothes all year round? Isn't it still necessary to change the thinning when the weather is warm? Besides, how do they know it's hot in the house, so they wear less? Why can't you get to the child? ”
Mu Nan said, "Okay, okay, I know." Wouldn't it be nice to let her be thinner? ”
Xinxin asked suspiciously, "Okay?" Can your mom say yes? ”
Mu Nan smiled: "Look at what you said, is my mother so unreasonable?" ”
Xinxin nodded and said, "Then you can go and try it." Anyway, it's so thick, I'm determined that I won't let my child wear it. ”
Mu Nan smiled and coped with it, but she was a little disapproving. It's just a little dress, as far as it's concerned? So he appeased Xinxin and put the matter behind him.
A few days later, my mother-in-law's second padded jacket and padded pants were ready. Xinxin took a look at it, good guy, this thicker one is better than the first one. Mu Nan took it and looked left and right, saying "not bad, not bad". Xinxin was so angry that she glared at him. Back in her room, Xinxin slapped Mu Nan on the head: "What's the matter with you?" Is this called thinning? ”
Mu Nan patted his head and said suddenly: "Oh, I've been busy for the past two days, I forgot to tell my mother." ”
Shin Shin pushed him and said, "Then let's go now!" ”
Mu Nan said: "Don't worry, I'll find a suitable opportunity, go now, it's obvious that you instigated it." ”
Xinxin stopped and said, "Then you must not forget it!" ”
Mu Nan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, when have I forgotten what I promised you." ”
Xinxin snorted and said, "I just forgot it once, and I dare to boast." ”
Mu Nan smiled and said, "I really remembered it this time, I remembered it." ”
Xinxin told again: "At least change it by half." Mu Nan ran out.
Mu Nan promised well, but when it was time to go to her mother-in-law to talk to her, her head was still big. He knew how stubborn his mother was, and perhaps it was the inherent temperament of that generation. But Xinxin obviously made up his mind, and he had to bite the bullet and tell his mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law pouted when she heard this, and said, "Xinxin asked you to say it!" You say that she gave birth to a child for the first time, what do you know? Command everything. This is new cotton, which looks thick, and it is thin when worn. Besides, the child is covered thickly, not easy to freeze, not easy to get sick. Doesn't she know? ”
Mu Nan was embarrassed and said: "Our side is different from my hometown, is it hot?" ”
The mother-in-law said: "With such a big opening, where is the heat going?" ”
Mu Nan said: "You don't know, your daughter-in-law's little temper is also quite twisted, if you don't change it, she won't let the child wear it when she turns around, aren't you doing it for nothing." ”
The mother-in-law said angrily: "I made it for my grandson, why didn't she let me wear it?" ”
The father-in-law said: "Hey, she hasn't worn it, and you'll know if you pass it." Your second sister-in-law also thought that your mother's children's shoes were too stupid, so she ran to the town to buy a pair of small leather shoes and came back, and the child's feet were blistered after two days of wearing. ”
The mother-in-law smiled smugly and said, "I'm not bragging, this thing I make is much more authentic than many clothes sold." You see the clothes that Xinxin bought for the child, how foolish people are, they are all white and not prickly, and if the child urinates a little bit and pulls it up a little, he will leave a yellow dot, and no amount of alkali (author's note: dialect soap, laundry detergent) can not be washed off. ”
Mu Nan said: "Oh, okay, you should give me a face and make it thinner." Isn't it your son who will not be angry? ”
The mother-in-law looked at Mu Nan and said helplessly: "That's it, I also know that people are the child's own mother." What can I do Lord. Seeing Mu Nan grinning, her mother-in-law was a little unwilling, nodded her son's head and said, "Look at your unproductive appearance!" Alas......"
As a result, the third padded jacket and padded pants finally became thinner. But...... There is still a long way to go from Shin Shin's half-half requirement. The mother-in-law just removed a thin layer of cotton on the original basis, and Xinxin was very dissatisfied with it. Under Mu Nan's vigorous coordination, the mother-in-law reluctantly changed it a little thinner, but the relatively normal winter clothes were still thick. Xinxin saw it and made up her mind not to let the child wear it. When her mother-in-law found out, she was so angry that she was going to find Xinxin Theory at that time. Mu Nan and her father-in-law pulled her, but they didn't hold her. The mother-in-law lifted the curtain and entered Xinxin's room.
Xinxin had just put the child to sleep at that time, and when she saw her mother-in-law come in, she hurriedly made a "shhh Mother-in-law is a powerful person, the eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law in her hometown are not good at stubble, but she has never been afraid. But Xinxin is different, Xinxin is a quiet and decent person, she rarely makes a lot of noise even when she is angry, except when facing Mu Nan, of course. This makes the mother-in-law feel that there is nowhere to speak, and people are unhurried and whispering to reason with you, whether it is right or not, you can't be in a hurry with her at all. It's like a fist on cotton, and you say it's boring or not. The mother-in-law originally came in with a stomach full of anger, but when Xinxin let her "shhh" like this, she was immediately deflated, which was really a thousand pounds, which made the old lady lose her temper.
The mother-in-law saw that her grandson was sleeping soundly, so she whispered to Xinxin: "That cotton clothes don't dare to be any thinner, the child will be cold when he wears it." ”
Xinxin smiled and explained to her mother-in-law: "Mom, how hot it is in our house, the little boy has a lot of firepower, it's okay to be thinner, you can't hold the child, it's easy to get sick." ”
The mother-in-law shook her head and said, "No, no, I get sick when I'm freezing." The children in our village are all frostbitten, and they have never heard of fever. ”
Xinxin said: "My hometown is different from here, there is no heating in my hometown, and there is no kang in my hometown, but it is cold, and it is naturally easy to freeze." We're burning two heaters here, and you're so hot that you can't wear cotton clothes, isn't it the same for children? ”
The mother-in-law just said to herself: "No, no, no, you can't freeze." ”
So Xinxin had to break up the previous words again and say them again. Mother-in-law and Xinxin repeated their reasons over and over again, but they both ignored each other's statements.
Mu Nan was outside, listening to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking about chickens and ducks over and over again, and smiled helplessly......
