Chapter 4 Washing Diapers

Xinxin didn't know about her mother-in-law's troubles, she was concentrating on squatting on the toilet. When she came out of the bathroom relaxedly, her father-in-law had been waiting outside for a while. The room is too small, and the only way to wash the child's diaper is in the bathroom. Xinxin occupies it, and the father-in-law has to wait. Regarding the fact that her father-in-law washed diapers instead of her mother-in-law, Xinxin didn't pay much attention to it at first. The old man loves his wife, this is a good thing, and it is also a good example for Mu Nan. She just felt a little surprised, in Mu Nan's previous narrative, the father-in-law and mother-in-law in the countryside are obviously a typical feudal social husband and wife relationship, the husband is the oil bottle is poured and he doesn't help, and the mother-in-law takes care of all the housework. When my parents-in-law first came, it was indeed the case. But recently, the situation has taken a 180-degree turn. My father-in-law not only took over the work of washing diapers, but also started cooking. The most surprising thing for Xinxin was that her father-in-law actually brought her mother-in-law a foot wash, and not once in a while, but every day! Even Xinxin has never received such a pet from Mu Nan. She once asked Mu Nan curiously and secretly what was going on, and Mu Nan's answer was unsatisfactory, saying that her father-in-law felt that her mother-in-law suffered too much when she was young, and she wanted to compensate her when she was old.

Seeing her father-in-law come to wash diapers, Xinxin couldn't help but gossip secretly in her heart again before turning around and going to the kitchen to serve porridge. When the lid of the pot was opened, it was light millet porridge again, and Xinxin couldn't help but sigh.

Xinxin and Mu Nan are both office workers, and they have the common physical characteristics of office workers - bad stomach. In order to maintain the stomach, after marriage, Xinxin's mother specially bought an electric stew pot for the little couple, and since then, Xinxin and Mu Nan only need to throw all kinds of grains and dried fruits into the pot every day, set a good time, and can drink soft, glutinous and nutritious eight-treasure porridge without much effort. After the mother-in-law came, although she still boiled porridge every day, the quality of the porridge was like a river.

At first, her mother-in-law didn't know how to use this kind of electronic products, but Xinxin took the trouble to teach her. After several failures and wasted a few raw materials, my mother-in-law finally basically mastered how to use it. But Shin Shin soon began to regret teaching her mother-in-law how to use it. In the past, when my mother-in-law didn't know how to use it, she had to help Shin Shin every time, and the raw materials used were exactly according to Shin Shin's list. Now that my mother-in-law knows how to use it, she begins to cook porridge according to her preferences. As a result, breakfast quickly changed from eight-treasure porridge to five-meter porridge, from five-meter porridge to two-meter porridge, and from two-rice porridge to millet porridge. In the end, my mother-in-law even wanted to change the breakfast to corn cob porridge. If Mu Nan hadn't felt that Xinxin had to drink a little nutritious porridge and rice, Xinxin's breakfast would have become a thick stick stubble that was difficult to swallow.

Shin Shin also once proposed to restore the previous eight-treasure porridge, which is even five-rice porridge. But the mother-in-law always agrees very happily, and the change is very procrastinating. Either they forgot it, or they didn't have time to buy all kinds of grains, and in the end they couldn't do it, so they adjusted the ratio to a big difference from the original, and only a little other grains were put in a big pot of porridge, mainly millet and rice. Seeing such a thin eight-treasure porridge, Shin Shin was really powerless. She eventually gave in to the matter. Of course, she could also tell her mother-in-law to put more longan, jujubes and the like, but she knew that as long as she proposed so, then what was waiting for her would be a pot full of longan and jujubes, with a few pitiful grains of rice. This is the most common killer weapon used by the mother-in-law to deal with her picky tastes. Do you say less? Okay, I'll give you more than enough. Last time, Xinxin said that her mother-in-law's fried dishes were too light, and her mother-in-law immediately ran back to the kitchen to fry a new plate. Served on the table and tasted it, almost losing his jaw. But people are already so enthusiastic, why are you embarrassed to say "Mom, you are too salty again", so you have to eat it hard. In the end, I didn't finish eating, and my mother-in-law was still wronged. And last time, my mother-in-law fried shredded green pepper and pork for Xinxin, and in order to save trouble, she finally added water and boiled it directly, so that the dish couldn't be eaten at all. Xinxin carefully reminded her that it was best not to add water after stir-frying this dish, and to stir-fry it with oil. As a result, all the dishes served on the table, from shredded potatoes to cabbage vermicelli, were all fried, which made Xinxin dare not eat more. Therefore, millet porridge is millet porridge, it is still nutritious, and it is good for milk.

Shin Shin picked up the bowl and began to drink the porridge. The dining table was facing the bathroom door, and Shin Shin glanced at her father-in-law completely unintentionally. My father-in-law was pouring detergent into the washing machine at the time, and he poured so much water with such a little water! No wonder he always complains about too many soap bubbles in the washing machine. Xinxin didn't feel sorry for the detergent, she just felt that so many detergents couldn't be washed at all. Recently, she often felt that the child's diaper was a little sticky, and she comforted herself at that time: "It's me who is too sensitive, don't do so much, raise the child to be thicker, and the child will be strong." "But when I saw my father-in-law's washing method today, I realized that I was not sensitive, but the old man put too much washing liquid.

She hesitated for a moment, but put down the bowl and walked over.

"Dad," Xinxin said with a smile on her face and in a negotiating tone, "You don't need to put so much detergent, this is a concentrated type, a little bit is fine." As she spoke, she compared her fingernails and tried to give the old man a specific amount. The old man shook his head and said, "I know, but I can't pour it, and when I fall, it will pour too much." ”

Shin Shin said: "You can pour it into the lid first, and then pour it into the washing machine, so that it is easier to grasp." ”

The father-in-law still shook his head and said, "If you don't hit it, you won't be able to do that." ”

Shin Shin had no choice but to take a step back and say, "Too much detergent is not good for children." If it's really hard to get, don't use detergent, just blanch it with hot water, and then rinse it twice with water, which is stronger than the residual detergent on it. ”

The old man said: "There is no residue, go out to dry diapers, people say that our diapers are clean." ”

Xinxin tried her best to be patient and said: "Looking white and looking clean doesn't mean that it's really all washed off, and there are still some sticky hands when you touch it with your hands." Dad, if it doesn't work, it's better to scald it directly with hot water, and it will save some trouble. ”

The two negotiated for a long time before the old man agreed to use hot water and use washing liquid again every few days. Shin Shin achieved this compromise result, although she was not very satisfied, and it was not good to force the old man too much. She only now understands why Mu Nan told her several times: "You don't care about washing diapers, let your parents watch it themselves." Obviously, Mu Nan discovered this problem a long time ago, but the negotiation with the old man ended in failure. In order to prevent Shin Shin from having friction with the elderly on this issue, he gave Shin Shin a "preventive shot" in advance.

Shin Shin went on to breakfast. The father-in-law sighed and began to do what Shin Shin asked. This time, the father-in-law finally began to agree with his wife's point of view: there are too many daughters-in-law in this city.
