Chapter 31: Misfortune (1)
In the north, there is a folk saying that the dumplings on the first day of the junior high school, the noodles on the second day of the junior high school, and the zygote on the third day of the junior high school go home. There is a custom of eating zygotes in the third year of junior high school, and when Chaoying is ready to get up, Chen's mother's zygote is already baked.
A married daughter can only be so comfortable when she returns to her parents' home. Chaoying stretched her waist, got dressed, and was called to the table by Liu Guiqin to eat before she washed up, Chaoying was not hypocritical, the family believed that no one would dislike them. My sister Chaomei also came out of the house at this time, yawned a lot, and complained as she walked: "It's only the third day of the Lunar New Year, why is it so early, I can't sleep if I want to." ”
"You're still complaining, when you get married, let's see if you won't let you sleep in your in-laws' house. If you don't believe me, ask your sister," said Nunu, and his mouth pointed to Chaoying.
"Then don't get married, it's a big deal to live by yourself in the future. "Chaoying didn't expect her sister Chaomei's thoughts to be so avant-garde. However, in order not to let the good young women of the motherland be disappointed in marriage and family, they chose to save her.
"That's not necessarily, for example, my mother-in-law rarely asks me to work with my sister-in-law, and we will be kicked out of the kitchen as soon as we enter. And to us is like a daughter, the two thighs of a chicken are given to me and my sister-in-law, and even my sister-in-law Chang'an can't be separated. ”
Chen's mother's expression was obviously unbelieving, but when she saw that her son-in-law was there, she didn't choose to refute and question.
However, my sister Chaomei heard her sister's words, obviously she had confidence in love and marriage, which also led to the fact that for many years to come, Chaomei's mate selection criterion was to have a mother-in-law like this in the mouth of her sister. Because of this, some people are tortured.
In fact, Chaoying also exaggerated the facts, let's ask which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will really be as close as mother and daughter, but one loves her son deeply and the other loves her husband deeply. And both of them know sensibly that only by living in peace can the person they love together be happy and worry-free, so they choose to treat each other emotionally.
However, Gu Weidong's statement about Chaoying is still very useful, at least in the future life, he must try his best to do what his mother can't do, so that Chaoying's life narrated to his family becomes a reality.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen's mother and Chen's father discussed going back to their parents' house to see their old mother.
I heard that the three children of the Chen family were all raised by their grandmother, and when they heard that their mother was going to visit their grandmother, Chaoying, who originally planned to return to her mother-in-law's house, temporarily changed her mind.
"Mom, I'll go see grandma with you!"
"What are you going to do, Chaomei just go with me, I told your mother-in-law before that I would go home today, and I will wait for you to eat at the temporary change of hexagram, besides, your mother-in-law treats you well, so if your sister-in-law picks on it, you two go back quickly!" Although Chen's mother objected, she insisted on "My grandmother took care of me growing up, and I should have taken my husband back to my parents' house for the first time this year to see my grandma. Chen's mother really couldn't resist Chaoying, and finally had to set off with four people.
When passing by the store, Gu Weidong went in and bought two boxes of malt milk essence and two boxes of canned food.
When the group came to Chaoying's grandmother's house, there were only two people in the house, the old man and the old lady, although Chen's mother was not very satisfied, but she didn't talk much, but just led Chaoying and his family to the front.
Chen's mother Liu Guiqin's mother's three brothers and sisters have a total of five children, Liu Guiqin is the eldest, and the other brothers and sisters are not far from the old man's house.
Now the second elder is living with the younger son, a few years ago, the younger son lost a lot of money in gambling, lost his job, sold the house, and finally had no place to live, or the old couple vacated one of their houses to the younger son's family, so that their family of three had a place to stay.
The old couple originally worked in the grain institute, and their retirement salary was not high, but they worked hard for many years and still saved some savings. The old couple saw that the younger son's family had no livelihood, so they took money to buy and sell them, and discussed with other children to help the younger son more, in short, the old couple did everything they could for the younger son. Although the old couple was single, the youngest son once promised his four older siblings that he had enjoyed the help provided by his parents, and that he would definitely serve his parents when his parents were grandmothered in the future, so that the brothers and sisters could rest assured. Fortunately, a few years have passed, and the small business of Liu Guiping, the uncle of the Liu family, is booming.
Chaoying and his grandfather chatted for a while, and when they saw that the time was not early, they said goodbye and went home, while her mother Liu Guiqin planned to stay with her parents for a night, and by the way, she said something considerate.
During this period, the Liu family's brother-in-law never came back.
After the two of them gave the gifts, they stayed for a while and then said goodbye and went home.
Chaoying's grandmother's house was about 6 miles away from the county seat, and Chaoying and Gu Weidong walked for nearly forty minutes.
When Chaoying and Gu Weidong returned home, the Gu family's lunch had just been served.
Mother-in-law Xu Xiuqing asked with concern: "Chaoying, your parents are in good health, right?"
"Very good mom, my mom also said that if we have a child, I will ask you to go to the army together. Chaoying knew what her mother-in-law liked to hear, so she said shyly.
After a while of gossiping, the family's lunch was served.
Chaoying was going to squint for a while after lunch. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the voices of several people sounded in the courtyard.
"Aunt Xu, happy New Year, is my sister at home?"
"At home, at home, didn't you just come back from your house, and now you're sleeping in the house, what's wrong with you, super beautiful?"
"Something happened at home, and my mother asked me to inform my sister. After saying that, he couldn't hold back his emotions and cried.
"Something is going on, say it in the house. Xu Xiuqing welcomed Chaomei into the house and sent Gu Weidong to wake Chaoying up.
At this time, Chaoying heard the sound outside and hurried to the living room.
"Chaomei, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Chaoying asked eagerly.
"Sister, grandpa is sick and has been sent to the county health center. Chaomei said cryingly.
"Why is it so sudden, isn't it okay in the morning?" Chaoying asked.
"I didn't know, when my uncle came back at noon, my mother and I went to the kitchen to cook. Hearing a quarrel in the house, the little uncle called his mother into the house and said that his grandfather was sick. Super beautiful wiped her tears while crying.
"Girl, don't cry" Xu Xiuqing entered the house and took a handkerchief for Chaomei to wipe her tears.
Chaomei continued: "As soon as my mother and I entered the house, we saw my grandfather lying motionless on the kang, and then we found a car and pulled my grandfather to the hospital. ”
"Then let's go to the hospital. Is there anything you can do to help. Xu Xiuqing explained the family affairs and planned to take her son and daughter-in-law to the hospital.
"Auntie, don't worry, there is one more thing I didn't say, my grandfather wants to see a doctor, but my little uncle can't pay for it for a while, and my mother didn't bring money from home. My mother said that she wanted to borrow some from my sister first, and when I got home, my uncle would pay it back when he raised the money. Chaomei said a little embarrassed, and finally understood the difficulty of her parents finding a job for her sister at that time, and it was really difficult to ask for someone.
Xu Xiuqing saw the super beautiful appearance, and said empathetically: "The family doesn't talk to the two families, I have money here, let's get more, it's okay." We can't delay seeing a doctor, let's go quickly. ”
