Chapter 10 Shin Shin's concessions
In the days that followed, the mother-in-law was obviously grinding foreign labor. The child can wash a small single coat for half an hour, and the clothes are washed and uncolored. Xinxin asked Mu Nan what was going on, Mu Nan had to be perfunctory, he also found that his mother was always lazy recently, but he couldn't say anything. In the past few days, Mu Nan found that every time she talked to her mother about housework, her mother felt that she was blaming her, and she insisted that Xinxin had instigated Mu Nan to do this. So every time Mu Nan opened her mouth, her mother-in-law would be unhappy, and sometimes although she promised on her lips, there were tears in her eyes, and she looked very aggrieved. Mu Nan didn't know what to do. Between Xinxin and her mother, Mu Nan deeply experienced the difficulty of surviving in the cracks. Therefore, he just wants to confuse everything in the past, and the more serious he is, the more difficult it will be for him to do it.
The mother-in-law replaced Mu Nan and prepared three meals a day every day. If you want to cook, you can't take it off, but what it looks like is up to others. Although the mother-in-law did not mean it, the taste will naturally not be as dependent on Xinxin as when she was pregnant, salty or light, more oil or less oil, green vegetables or radish, millet or rice, naturally completely changed to the habits and tastes of the hometown. Mu Nan was used to eating her mother's food, so she naturally ate deliciously, but Xinxin became more and more difficult to swallow. Xinxin began to give advice to her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law responded with a black face at the time, and turned her head to the other extreme. Isn't it too light? Okay, the next meal will make you too greasy to eat. Is there less salt? Okay, the next time you'll stick out your salty tongue. Sometimes, Mu Nan felt a little wrong when he ate it, but as soon as he objected, her mother-in-law immediately said aggrievedly: "It was Xinxin who said that she wanted to eat like this." "What can Shin Shin say? They obviously did what you asked?
In private, Xinxin also told Mu Nan whether her mother-in-law was deliberately rectifying herself. Mu Nan was very unhappy when she heard this, and said, "How can my mother be that kind of person? How do you think so badly of people? ”
Xinxin pouted and said, "Anyway, the food she cooked is too unpalatable." I haven't been able to eat much lately, and my milk is not good. ”
Mu Nan was embarrassed and said, "My mother is not very good at cooking your dishes, otherwise, you just wait for me to come back to cook it?" ”
Xinxin said: "Isn't that back to the past? ”
Mu Nan asked tentatively: "Then you do it yourself?" ”
Shin Shin said unhappily, "I can do it." But who is coming to see the children? I don't worry about your mother. ”
Mu Nan was also unhappy: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?" It's also very hard for my parents to watch their children here, can't you be considerate? ”
Although Xinxin was dissatisfied, it was difficult to say anything more. Alas, who told their parents that they couldn't take care of their children. Shin Shin is the eldest in the family, and she has an older brother who is six years older than her. Since she was a child, the family has spoiled her, and the housework has hardly been sticky. It was only when she went to college that she started doing her own laundry. After getting married, she began to learn to cook, and, until now, she can almost only fry a few vegetarian dishes. Mu Nan is considerate, although he grew up in an atmosphere of male superiority and inferiority, he hardly knows how to do housework. But after marriage, Mu Nan learned faster and more actively than Xinxin. So, at least in terms of cooking, Mu Nan is already very good at it. It turns out that there are only two people who live, and there is little housework, and two people are playing around. Now that I have a child, the task is suddenly heavy, and Shin Shin is the main force to watch the child, and I can't bear it at first. Although Mu Nan has little work, she has to share some housework while going to work, and she has to coordinate the relationship between her mother and wife from time to time, which is also physically and mentally exhausting. Parents came to help, Mu Nan was grateful, he felt that the old couple had never been out of that village in their lives, and now they came to such a far place, they were not familiar with the place, and their mother-in-law was still a little uncomfortable at first, just to show themselves the children, it was really difficult for them.
Xinxin was also in the same idea as Mu Nan at first. But as time went by, the friction between her and her mother-in-law became more and more, and Xinxin couldn't help but envy those mothers who brought their children. You look at people, living habits, eating habits, hygiene habits, thinking habits are the same, no need to run in, no need to be patient, no need to worry, no need to look at people's faces, alas, what a happy life it is! It's ideal for your own mother to come to see her child! But, no, my mother can't come.
Xinxin's mother now lives there with her brother, sister-in-law, little niece, and grandmother in her eighties. Even if Xinxin is willing to take the child to live with her parents, there are already six people living in a three-bedroom house of more than 90 square meters, and there is no place to accommodate the two of them. What's more, it's still so far away from where he and Mu Nan work. Therefore, at present, it is the most realistic choice for the parents-in-law to come over to watch the children. Every time I think of this, Shin Shin says to myself: When employing people, bear it if you can!
Shin Shin finally began to try to adapt to her mother-in-law's tastes, although she still asked her mother-in-law to add a dish from time to time, but purely to strengthen the nutrition so that she could have a stable milk supply. When she couldn't stand it, she asked Mu Nan to buy vegetables from outside and come back, in short, try not to conflict with her mother-in-law over eating. Although this is far from meeting the mother-in-law's requirements, although there is still a long way to go to the goal of letting the mother-in-law watch the children as she wants, Shin Shin did give in. This made the mother-in-law very proud. It seems that the daughter-in-law is to be adjusted, and as long as the bad habits are pulled, they can always be pulled. Besides, with Xinxin's current situation, being able to have someone cook for him is already a high incense in his last life. What else is there to find fault with? I think that back then, I took several children alone in the village, because I met a bad mother-in-law, quarreled every day, and when I went to work in the field, my mother-in-law refused to take care of the children and cook. At that time, I had to work at home and outside the house every day, and almost no meals were eaten on time. When a man enters the door, he doesn't care about everything, and he doesn't rely on himself alone? Whoever is a girl is not pampered. Aren't all capable daughters-in-law honed a little bit after marriage? Shin Shin is just too lacking in exercise.
With this successful experience, the mother-in-law decided to make persistent efforts to cultivate Shin Shin into a capable little daughter-in-law. Of course, it is impossible to let her reach her own level, but at least she should be able to cook and watch the children cope with everything, so that Mu Nan's burden can also be reduced. Alas, Mu Nan's child is too soft, and he doesn't care at all about how he is pinched and turned around by his daughter-in-law. Xinxin, and I'm too lazy to get rid of the scum, and there are so many things to do. These two children, if they don't train and train well, how will they live in the future! Thinking of this, my mother-in-law felt that the burden on her shoulders was a little heavier. For Shin Shin, there is more hope and more pickiness.
After that, in order to polish Xinxin's temperament, her mother-in-law simply ate several times and then finished the bowl before going to change Xinxin to eat. Seeing Xinxin's hungry and elongated face, although her mother-in-law sometimes felt that it was not suitable, she was faintly proud: If she doesn't have this idea to be a mother-in-law, can she still be called a mother-in-law?
