Chapter 221: Turning Point
The funeral of the Li family is over. The deceased is gone, but how the living will live is still a question mark. The most realistic question is in front of us: what should Aunt Li do?
The three sons were reluctant to take their mother to themselves because of their own reasons, and Aunt Li's situation became very embarrassing. The sons also got together privately to discuss the issue.
He Le couldn't understand this, he said, "Why can't Mom live by herself? How many old men and old ladies live alone without their wives, and they are more comfortable! ”
Heping glared at him and said, "You don't know our mother's temper yet?" If there is no one at home, she will go crazy. Besides, since my dad retired, when have you ever seen her cook and clean up the house? If you let her cook and eat by herself and clean up the house by herself, she probably won't be able to last a week. ”
Hele frowned and said, "I can't buy it." If you can't work at home, you can still hire an hourly worker, what a simple thing! Why is it so complicated? ”
Heping shook his head and said, "Then you can try, just our mother's temperament, hum!" ”
Heshun, who had been silent, finally interjected at this time: "What Hele said is not a solution. It's not impossible to hire a home-based babysitter. But now that my father just didn't, I just threw my mother to outsiders, which is still not very reassuring. I mean, everybody's working hard right now. Let's take a shift and come back to accompany my mother. When she is a little more affectionate and adapts to living alone, let's hire a nanny for her. ”
The eldest brother was reasonable, and the two younger brothers naturally had no objections, and the matter was settled. So, the three brothers went together and told their mother about their agreed-upon results.
After listening to it, Aunt Li didn't squeak at first. She felt uncomfortable, and her sons refused to take her away, which made her feel very shameless and chilling. But if she refuses her sons now, she can't do it. She didn't want to live alone like this. After pondering for a moment, she reluctantly nodded.
The three sons were relieved to see that she agreed. The shift also officially began, and Shun started the head. One shift for a week, and the turn is to stay with Aunt Li for a week.
Heshun originally lived in the dormitory, so he didn't have much to pack, so he just went back to the unit and made a bag to come over. Because of the death of my father. He took a few days off. It is just right to spend a few days at home with my mother. He followed his father and was a diligent man. When he was idle at home, he helped his mother pack up all the relics of his father's life, packed them and hid them at the bottom of the box.
When packing up things, Heshun found out. There are almost no new clothes in my father's clothes, they have been worn for many years, and the only new set of clothes is when He Le got married. Thinking that the old man had worked hard for this family all his life, and he had lived so sparingly, and he, the eldest son, had not noticed it at all, and Heshun felt blocked in his heart.
Aunt Li picked up her wife's things, and she couldn't help bursts of tears. She finally understands now that no matter how good her son is, he is not as caring as his wife. It's just that it's already too late. She didn't know what her life would hold for her in the future. But as far as she saw in the past two days after her wife's death, she vaguely knew. My life will never be as comfortable and comfortable as when Uncle Li was there.
Although Heshun is diligent, he still can't cook. He started cooking a few times in a hurry, but he always made a mess in the kitchen. Aunt Li complained at first about cleaning up the aftermath for him, but later she was also annoyed and went with him. It's just that the food he made was really hard to swallow, so he had to throw it out in the end and order another takeout.
After eating like this for less than three days, Aunt Li couldn't stand it. She knew that the craft of peace was good, so she asked her eldest son to call him for peace. Heshun also knows his weaknesses and does not dare to slack off. Immediately called Peace.
Peace who received the call was a little embarrassed. Last time, the brothers discussed how to take care of his mother, and he thought that everything was fine. Who knew that as soon as he went home and told Wen Jun, he immediately stabbed the hornet's nest. Wen Jun still remembers the previous incident of Aunt Li leaving peace under the pretext of leaving a peace, and he wholeheartedly believes that the old lady is repeating the old trick. Thinking of it from now on. Her husband has to spend one-third of her time with her mother, and when she throws herself down, Wen Jun is furious.
This matter has not been clear repeatedly, and now that the eldest brother has asked him to take over in advance, Heping naturally does not dare to agree immediately. But he also knew that the eldest brother was not the treacherous and cunning person. It's not that my mother is making a big fuss, and my eldest brother won't call him. Although there are some complaints about Aunt Li in his heart, Heping understands that after all, his father has just passed away, and it is inevitable that his mother will have some ups and downs. He thought for a moment and said to Heshun, "I...... Try to get there tomorrow. ”
Listening to his ambiguous words, Heshun was a little unhappy, he just wanted to open his mouth to say that Heping was too afraid of his wife, and suddenly remembered the miserable appearance of his wife who was not afraid, so he took back the words that came to his mouth. After all, the tranquility of a small family is also important. This is a brutal and indisputable fact. Heshun sighed and said, "Whatever you want." If it doesn't work, I'll go and hire an hourly worker first. ”
Heping was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he said, "Brother, you also know Wenjun's temper. I...... I'll do my best. ”
He Shun didn't speak and hung up the phone in a hurry. I don't know why, when he heard Heping say this, he suddenly felt a little jealous, as long as he has a complete family, even being a strict wife is also enviable, isn't it?
In the end, peace did not come ahead of schedule. Heshun had to go to the housekeeping company and hire an hourly worker. Although the most expensive and experienced aunt was selected, under Aunt Li's all-round three-dimensional testing and certification, she still did not meet the satisfactory standard. But in any case, the rice is ready to eat.
Although Heping failed to share his eldest brother's worries in taking care of his mother, with Wenjun's active cooperation, he helped Heshun a lot in family reunion. Wen Jun heard from Liu Mei that Xiao Lingling was going to return to the senior class for one year, so he told him about it. Peace was immediately transferred to Heshun again. He Shun remembered that he had promised his daughter to let her go to preschool with him, so he immediately called Liu Mei and wanted to fulfill his promise. Although Liu Mei's tone was cold, she didn't refuse immediately, but she didn't agree either.
Heshun is a straight-hearted man, seeing that Liu Mei didn't agree, he was so anxious that he called Heping again, and Tuo Wenjun went to tell him. Heping listened to what happened, and said to his eldest brother: "Although my sister-in-law didn't agree, she didn't say no. This shows that she is actually a little tempted. You can't always let someone else do it for you. What an opportunity. You should go over by yourself and admit your mistakes and give in to your face, maybe this matter will be done, and your conflict will be resolved. The best of both worlds! ”
After being reminded by Heping, Heshun suddenly realized that he immediately drove to Liu Mei. Everyone has arrived at the door, and it is for the sake of the child, Liu Mei is not happy, and she can't stop him from entering the door. When he entered the door and saw that her husband, who was like an uncle in the past, was now completely helpless and aggrieved, Liu Mei's heart finally softened. Although the two did not reconcile immediately, everyone could see that the relationship had eased. And Xiao Lingling also began to happily wait for Heshun to come over to pick her up from preschool in September. (To be continued.) )
