Chapter 116: Lunch
() When the mother-in-law of the Mu family came out of the bath, it was already noon. She went back to her room, cleaned up briefly, took her change of clothes to the bathroom, and looked at her watch by the way, thinking that it was time to make lunch. Passing by the kitchen, she glanced at it, and saw that it was empty, and she had some doubts in her heart, could it be that this little couple was still waiting to cook by herself? She quietly continued to walk to the bathroom, took out the basin and began to wash the clothes, but the movements of her hands were much slower than usual.
In Xinxin's room next to the bathroom, Xinxin and Mu Nan were chatting on the bed with laughter and laughter, and teasing the children on the small bed from time to time. Because the door was open, their laughter could be clearly heard in the bathroom, and the mother-in-law who was doing the laundry could hear it very well. After listening for a while, she finally couldn't help but put down her clothes and wanted to go over and ask who was going to cook. But when she got to the door, she stopped again. Why bother? As soon as I came back, I had a quarrel with my son and daughter-in-law because of a meal, which is always bad. What's more, Mu Nan was very unhappy because of the things they postponed, and she didn't want to push her son to her daughter-in-law for a trivial matter. At least not yet.
The mother-in-law sighed, turned around and continued to wash her clothes, and at the same time turned on the faucet, and the sound of the rushing water quickly drowned out the laughter next door......
Xinxin was in a good mood today, thinking that she didn't have to revolve around her children all day long, and she was very relieved. She said to Mu Nan: "When you order takeout today, call a few more dishes that your parents-in-law love to eat." Mu Nan nodded with a smile, thinking: Although her daughter-in-law is a little squeamish, she is quite meticulous and thoughtful in terms of filial piety to the elderly. He dialed the phone and deliberately ordered a few more pasta, all of which he ate well.
After a while, the meal arrived. Mu Nan stood at the door and took the things, then took out his wallet and paid. The mother-in-law happened to come out of the bathroom with her clothes, and saw Mu Nan drawing two hundred-yuan bills for the little brother who was delivering takeaways. The old lady felt a little uncomfortable. Good guy, two hundred yuan, enough for a family to eat for half a month in my hometown. Looking at the things in Mu Nan's hand, it is only two packs, and I don't know if I can eat three or two meals. Mu Nan didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking, so she took the change that the other party was looking for and put it in her wallet, turned around and put the things on the dining table, washed her hands, and asked Xinxin to come over for dinner. He took over the child in Xinxin's hands himself.
Xinxin washed her hands, took all the food out of the bag, and put the disposable chopsticks neatly before she went over to call her father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over for dinner.
Seeing that there was also a large table of the food that was laid out, especially several delicate small pasta, the mother-in-law's face was slightly softened. The family sat down to eat. Mu Nan smelled the fragrance, and came over to sit down with the child in her arms, wanting to take the opportunity to eat a little.
Xinxin saw it, and hurriedly said, "Don't sit here with him, these dishes can't be eaten by the child." Don't make him cry again. ”
The child is seven or eight months old and has begun to add complementary food, but Xinxin strictly follows what the book says, and does not dare to give him anything to eat, especially if there is a lot of oil and salt, so at present, the child is fed steamed eggs alone. A few days ago, when Xinxin and Mu Nan were taking care of their children, because of lack of manpower, they ordered takeout, and Xinxin began to think about holding the child, eating it by herself, and letting the child watch. But the little guy saw that the adults ate very well, but he didn't have his share, so he babbled and stopped doing it, and cried with a hum. So every time she ate, Xinxin refused to let Mu Nan sit at the table with the child in her arms.
Mu Nan also knew Xinxin's thoughts, but today that his parents came back, he didn't have so many concerns, and forgot Xinxin's instructions for a while, and now seeing Xinxin say this, he had to stand up and reluctantly hugged the child back to the room.
When the mother-in-law saw that her son wanted to eat, but was blocked by her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she got up and said, "Come on, Xiao Nan, I'll hold the child, you eat first!" At the same time, her eyes were staring at Xinxin, thinking that this meal was the first meal she had eaten when her mother-in-law came home, and her daughter-in-law should say "Mom, you should eat first, and I will go to see the child". But Xinxin has been accustomed to her eating first at home during this time, whether it is Xinxin's parents or Mu Nan, they all eat first with her. Therefore, she didn't think much about it at all, thinking that no matter how others distributed, it had nothing to do with her, anyway, she had to eat first, for the sake of the children!
The mother-in-law's words had already been spoken, but Xinxin ate by herself without any reaction. The old lady had to be a good person to the end, and walked to Shin Shin's room to see the child. Mu Nan happily hugged the child to her, thinking that her mother still loved herself the most.
Mu Nan returned to the table and devoured it, and from time to time commented on which dishes were delicious and which pasta dishes were good, and when she saw him vigorously getting small noodles, she couldn't help but say, "Don't you leave a few for your mother-in-law?" ”
Seeing that Xinxin didn't let his son serve the table just now, and didn't let his son eat more at this time, he said to some calves: "Eat, eat, eat, so much!" ”
The mother-in-law also echoed in the house: "I'm not hungry, I can eat or not, Xiao Nan, you just let go of eating, if you can eat it, you will eat it all!" ”
Mu Nan listened, smiled proudly at Xinxin, and continued to chew happily.
Xinxin was a little speechless, thinking: I am the legendary "Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror - he is not a person inside and out". Thinking back to when I lived in my mother's house before, the situation was not like this at all. Otherwise, how could she have said such unflattering words in a flash of brain?
She still clearly remembers that when her colleagues had dinner in the evening, everyone came back late after having a good time. As soon as she entered the house, Mu Nan said to her: "The child has been crying, and his parents have been coaxing for a long time, and they are all tired." You can't come back so late in the evening. ”
At that time, Xinxin was very upset when she heard it, and immediately replied to him: "It's quite late for you to come back when you have something." ”
Xinxin's mother was busy holding her and said, "Xinxin, don't make trouble. Mu Nan was right. Besides, he also feels sorry for our old couple. ”
Dad was also helping Mu Nan on the side, and he was glad to see that he was one to three, and he fell steadily, although he was a little unconvinced, but he had nothing to say.
Later, in private, my mother also said to Xinxin: "Mu Nan is indeed kind for us." You are not allowed to fool around, it will chill the hearts of other people's children. ”
When Xinxin heard this, she couldn't help but complain to her mother, "Why do you always look to others? I'm your own. ”
Mom nodded her forehead and said, "Silly boy, Mom really feels sorry for you, that's why she did this." If I face you, you have the upper hand on the surface, but Mu Nan will be dissatisfied with you and us, and as the days go by, the relationship between you and your little couple will be affected. Besides, we have to put our hearts right. Other people's children say that for our good, how can I be so ignorant of what is good and bad, just one door to my own children? ”
Now, Xinxin thought about her mother's words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, they are also parents, why is the gap so big?
