Chapter 30 Suspected eczema incidents
The argument between the mother-in-law and Xinxin ended in vain. No one can convince anyone, or no one will listen to anyone. But the contradiction is still there, clothes, wearing, or not wearing, becoming the core focus. The mother-in-law saw that her persuasion was ineffective, so she found Mu Nan. Shin Shin naturally refuses to give in easily. Mu Nan was doing a splint in the middle, and the days became more and more difficult.
The mother-in-law saw that the brand-new three sets of cotton clothes and pants just couldn't get on the child's body, and she felt a grievance in her heart. What is this? You can't just put your heart and soul into it.
That night, when Xinxin's mother and son fell asleep, her father-in-law slowly paced to Mu Nan's sofa bed in the living room. Mu Nan was hugging the quilt and looking at his mobile phone on the bed, and when he looked up, he saw the old father standing in front of him without saying anything. He asked strangely, "Dad, what's wrong, what's the matter?" ”
The father-in-law pointed to his room and motioned for Mu Nan to come over. Mu Nan knew at a glance that his father had come to call him at the behest of his mother, and eighty percent of it was still about clothes, thinking about him, he couldn't help frowning. But Daddy is standing in front of him, so he can't just leave it with a dead face. I had no choice but to get dressed and get up and follow my father into the room.
In the room, the mother-in-law was neatly folding the three sets of clothes and pants spread out on the bed, and she ignored him when she saw Mu Nan coming in. Mu Nan had to stand on the edge of the bed and watch. After a while, the mother-in-law raised her head and said to Mu Nan pitifully, "You really can't wear it for the child?" ”
Mu Nan looked at her mother-in-law in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer. The mother-in-law threw the clothes to the side, raised a pair of hands and said to Mu Nan: "Look, how hard I have worked to make these clothes!" Mu Nan looked at her mother's hand, which was a pair of wrinkled and cracked hands, with thick calluses on them. In Mu Nan's memory, it was these hands that pickled pickles, made clothes, washed and washed and worked hard year after year that made the four of their brothers and sisters grow up healthy and happy. Now, these hands are getting old, and what makes Mu Nan even more shocking is that these old hands are now adding a lot of needles. Needless to say, it's all about making clothes for children these days. After all, my mother is old, and she has not touched a needle and thread for many years, and her skills are already a little rusty, and she can't see it very well when she wears glasses with an inappropriate degree, so it is inevitable to pierce her hands. Mu Nan looked at her mother's hand, and her heart was sour. He said emotionally: "Why don't you wear it for the child?" Who said it wasn't for the kids? You've worked so hard to make it, you must give him something to wear. ”
The mother-in-law was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? ”
Mu Nan's expression was stunned, the words just now blurted out, and now that I think about it, I really don't know how to say it to Xinxin. But the words had already come out, and looking at the old man's expectant eyes, Mu Nan had to pick out the thinnest one from the three sets of clothes, and said to his mother, "I'll take this set to the child." ”
Although the mother-in-law felt that it was a bit too little to take only one set of three sets, she agreed to let the child wear it after all, so she still nodded to Mu Nan with satisfaction.
That night, the mother-in-law slept deeply, and in her sleep she saw her grandson waving vigorously at her in clothes made by herself. Mu Nan tossed and turned, unable to sleep, he was really afraid that tomorrow Xinxin would resolutely oppose his promise when he heard his promise, at that time, how should he face his mother who was full of expectations?
The next morning, Mu Nan took the little cotton clothes into Xinxin's room and said to Xinxin: "I think this body is okay, it's not thick, you can let the child wear it." ”
Xinxin pinched her hand and said, "It's so thick!" Try it yourself, is it hot or not? ”
Mu Nan said: "Your mother-in-law has worked hard for so long, and you don't let the child wear any of them, the old man must be uncomfortable." Aren't you a filial daughter-in-law? It's time for you to behave. ”
Shin Shin was not very happy to say: "If I were to say anything, I would be able to say anything." Can be given to children...... I can't bear it. ”
Mu Nan said: "Just wear it for two days, don't let the old man lose face." ”
Xinxin remembered that her mother-in-law was rushing to work day and night these days, and she was also a little moved, and finally nodded and agreed. When Mu Nan saw it, she happily hugged Xinxin and said, "I know that my daughter-in-law is the most reasonable." ”
So, when the mother-in-law slowly came to change Xinxin after breakfast, she saw the child wearing the new cotton jacket and new cotton pants she made......
On this day, Shin Shin had a very easy day, because her mother-in-law took the initiative to come over several times to help her take care of the children. Not only that, but at lunchtime, Xinxin also ate the long-lost hand-rolled noodles for the first time. To be honest, the hand-rolled noodles made by my mother-in-law are still delicious, and even Shin Shin, who is not too cold to pasta, eats it happily. Xinxin clearly remembers that the last time she ate hand-rolled noodles made by her mother-in-law was when she was pregnant.
The mother-in-law was happy, not only did Xinxin's life get better, but even Mu Nan and her father-in-law also benefited from it. Both of them were taken care of by their mother-in-law as in their hometown as before, so that their father-in-law couldn't help but miss the good old days.
But everything was reversed near dusk. The child didn't know why he became so irritable at that time, and kicked his calves vigorously and tore off the diaper. The mother-in-law was looking at the child at the time, and she didn't pay much attention to it, until the child peed, she found that the diaper was no longer in place, and the urine wet the red new cotton pants. Xinxin came in and saw it, busy changing the child's pants. The new cotton pants were completely faded, and Xinxin faintly watched the red marks on the child's legs, but the sky was already darkening and she couldn't see clearly. Xinxin wanted to get closer to see, but her mother-in-law was afraid that the child would freeze, so she hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover the child's legs. Xinxin turned on the headlights and turned over the child's calves under the dissatisfied gaze of her mother-in-law and took a closer look. It was found that there was indeed a red area. Shin Shin hurriedly found a parenting book to check, and then picked up her mobile phone and searched on the Internet. Most of the claims are infantile eczema. Fortunately, this kind of eczema is generally not a big problem, wash it frequently, keep it dry, and apply a little talcum powder or something to heal quickly. Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare to wash and scrub the child according to the book.
The mother-in-law looked at Xinxin disappreciatively, and felt that her daughter-in-law was really a little fussed. She said to Xinxin repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, some of the children in the village have grown like this all year round, and they are all over their heads." Xinxin didn't listen to her at all and continued to do her own thing. made the mother-in-law very unhappy, and said in her heart: If you don't understand, forget it, why can't you listen to people's persuasion?
Xinxin saw her mother-in-law's face turn cloudy, and knew that the old lady must not listen to her in her heart. But Xinxin pretended not to see it, what should she do. She asked her mother-in-law to pick up the child and began to wash the child's legs with warm water.
The mother-in-law finally couldn't help it, and said to Xinxin in a loud voice: "What should I do if I wash the child on such a cold day and freeze?" ”
"No, it won't. I closed the door. There are two heaters in this room, and the room temperature is enough to bathe the child. The book says that eczema is very itchy, and if you don't get it done to your child quickly, it will get worse and worse. Children suffer too, don't they? Xinxin said as she kept scrubbing the child in her hands. The mother-in-law pursed her mouth, but she couldn't help but say anything more.
