Chapter 37: Returning to My Mother's Home 1
For a three-day holiday, most young couples choose the same, one day each at the in-laws' family, and then go home for a day of rest. So on the second day of the New Year, Cheng Qing and Liu Hong took Yuanyuan back to their parents' house.
It's all in one city, just a few bus stops away. Yuanyuan was the happiest, and she had already obediently put herself into the quilt and waited. And you have to be held by your father. Even though it was a holiday, there were still a lot of passengers on the bus. At that time, the city's buses were far from the many routes that were opened up more than a decade later, and the cold roads were slippery, and there were fewer cyclists. The bus was crowded and there were no seats, but fortunately, there were only a few stops away. Cheng Qing still felt that his two arms were tired and sore, and he had to walk a long way to get home after getting out of the car, he really couldn't hold Yuanyuan and couldn't help but say.
"Yuanyuan has grown up, and her father's arms are sore, can you ask your mother to hug her for a while?"
"Dad is boring, and Mom is not tired from carrying Yuanyuan to work. Yuanyuan said with a look of disdain.
"Yuanyuan, my mother is also tired, but my mother is an adult, can she not protect her children. Dad hasn't hugged you for a long time before he feels that you have grown up and become heavier. Liu Hong took the child and said.
"Dad is busy with work, so he doesn't have time to look at the baby. Dad, are you done with your work?" asked Yuanyuan lying on Liu Hong's shoulder.
"Baby daughter, work is too busy, but Dad promises to come back every day to see Yuanyuan. ”
"Hello Dad, pull the hook, don't talk and don't talk, that's not a good boy. Yuanyuan writhed in the quilt and wanted to stretch out her little hand to pull the hook with her father. It happened that there was a piece of ice under her feet, and Liu Hong was about to fall down, so Cheng Qing hurriedly supported both of them. I was also nervous for a while, and I felt a deeper sense of guilt for Liu Hong.
"I'll hug it. After a few minutes of rest, I was relieved. Red, it's really not easy for you, buy you a bicycle and ride to work in the future. ”
"I realized that my father bought one for me last autumn, just in time for my brother and Sister Yanzi to have a bride price, and Sister Yanzi liked it and was just in time for winter, so I gave the bicycle to Sister Yanzi. Liu Hong was still thinking about how to tell about the bicycle, but Cheng Qing mentioned it. Cheng Qing is a cautious and suspicious person, if Yanzi says it, he doesn't know what version it will evolve into.
"Yanzi is also right, this is fighting with you now, and she will not be a good sister-in-law in the future. ”
"It's all women, I understand. I won't live under one roof in the future, and it's not easy for my brother to talk about an object, but I forgot about a bicycle. ”
"Don't worry, I won't talk much, I'll give it all, and besides, your husband won't be short of a bicycle from his mother's family. Cheng Qing said with a very sensible look.
This reminded Liu Hong of a sketch many years later, which was about fooling the bicycle, which was on the stage and in life. The difference is that one can be brought to the public and bring pleasure to people. One is in life, but what is left behind is an unspeakable emotion. Say goodbye to the past and open the future, regardless of the love or friendship of the past. What can be said is a matter of face, and what is hidden in the corner of the soul is the sigh of the midnight dream.
saw Cheng Qing come in with Yuanyuan in his arms. Dad Liu was relaxed for a while, but Mother Liu couldn't hide her joy.
"Well, it's pretty much the same, I thought Liu Hong was holding the child. Mother Liu said unceremoniously.
"Mom, I was too busy some time ago, and I called Liu Hong hard. There were so many people in the car that they didn't even sit down. ”
"It's not the morning and evening rush hour for work, you can't see it, sometimes you can't even close the car door. Dad Liu also said casually.
"It's better for our unit, at least there is a commuter car. Cheng Qing said with emotion.
"We have been a big enterprise for many years, but it is comparable to ordinary enterprises. Dad Liu and Cheng Qing talked about the unit, grandpa looked at Yuanyuan, and Liu Hong and her mother went into the kitchen to prepare lunch meals.
"Mom, where's my brother?"
"I picked up the swallow, I haven't learned to ride the bicycle yet, so I told your brother to walk and come back on a new car. took off his pants and farted, and in one fell swoop many times, but it was someone else who responded. Mother Liu chattered.
"Mom, long live understanding. It didn't take long for my brother to get married, and there won't be anything like this in the future. I think the big house is almost cleaned up. ”
"What, it's even more annoying to say this, even if you want to make everything new, you have to lay the floor, saying that you won't fall if you have a child in the future. What do adults do to eat, they don't look at children. ”
"Mom, it's better to lay the floor, and it looks neat. Anyway, I have to clean up, so I might as well remodel the kitchen, which is a lot more spacious. ”
"Well, that's what your brother said, and the toilet is like your house. I can't wait for the New Year's Eve to work. ”
"There's still time, my brother is a bricklayer, and I don't use my own things to buy much, so it's better to build a few hanging cabinets for your hut, and there is a place for you and Dad's clothes or something. ”
"What the hell, I'm worried about the fact that the hut is spread on the kang, and there is a big wardrobe on the ground, so I can't get down in the house. ”
"Mom, the wall cabinet is a cabinet that occupies no space, probably Qi and the door frame on one side, but it is a little troublesome when you put things. ”
"Hey, your mom can't go to high school yet. This is also temporary, when your brother gets married, you can get a house. ”
"Well, I heard from my father, there will be a batch of units next year, but the location is a little farther away. ”
"Far away, this swallow used to look very good, but now it's a penny and wants to break half of it. Your brother has found a hard stubble daughter-in-law. ”
"Mom, such a woman can live. You still want to be as big as your daughter. ”
"Yes, you are not only a big man who doesn't know how to live, but also a girl with a big heart, no heart and no lungs. Mother Liu looked at her daughter and said.
"Mom, is my daughter big-hearted or heartless. Liu Hong also laughed. In my heart, I was very sad, and my original self was really the same as my mother said, so that I made a mess of my marriage and family. Cheng Qing's mistakes are the most essential and the most essential, and his own way of dealing with them is also outrageous, it can be said that Cheng Qing's resolute divorce in the end also has a great relationship with himself, not that he doesn't love or he doesn't dare to love. There's no way to love anymore.
"Silly girl, what do you think, carefully cut your fingers. Mother Liu reminded.
"No, it won't. Liu Hongxin said, this can still cut hands, after being laid off in the previous life, but after working in the back kitchen of the hotel for a long time, he can cut the shredded potatoes evenly with his eyes closed, hey, remembering his previous life, Liu Hong remembered the stupid things he had done, which pushed Cheng Qing into the arms of women. In this life, she will not make such a low-level mistake again, and she will not have a chance to make those women shit. Because he is the soul of the afterlife, he will come back to correct his mistakes and correct his regrets.
"Auntie, we're back. The swallow walked in front, the brother pushed the bicycle and followed, and the two of them came back with a cold air.
"What are you doing with this car, and you have to ride it back at night. Mother Liu asked with a frown.
"Mom, this is a new car, and I have to ride it on my wedding day. ”
"Stinky boy, when I first bought you a car, I didn't see you so careful. ”
"Auntie, this is different, you have to take good care of your own things. Swallow took it and said.
"That's it, Mom, find me a rag, and I'll wipe the car. ”
"What's the line of the rag, if you don't bury it, you will wipe it. Just use this. Yanzi picked up the diaper that Yuanyuan had brought temporarily.
"Auntie, that's the baby wiping the buttocks. Yuanyuan said unhappily.
"Yuanyuan, how old are you, and you still pee your pants. Swallow looked at the child and said.
"People would have gone to the toilet by themselves a long time ago, and it was my mother who said to be prepared. Uncle, what is prepared?"
"This uncle doesn't understand, your mother teaches too profoundly, ask your dad to go. ”
"It's terrible that my uncle is uneducated. Dad, you tell Yuanyuan what to be prepared. Yuanyuan squeezed over a few adults and hugged Cheng Qing's thigh and asked.
"Liu Fu, even children say that you are uneducated. Yuanyuan, you are so cute. The swallow was the first to laugh, and the whole room laughed.
"Sister Liu Hong, you even handed over the idiom to the child, this is different as a cadre. The swallow said jokingly.
"Sister Yanzi, this has nothing to do with whether it is a cadre or not, the age of the child is the time to receive knowledge, and every mother must teach the child like this. ”
"Sister, even if the child knows, he doesn't understand what it means. Liu Fu looked at Liu Hong and smiled.
"Uncle, Yuanyuan knows, but she has prepared in advance, so she won't be in a hurry when the time comes. Mom, what Yuanyuan said is right. Yuanyuan pulled her father to her mother's side and asked.
"Yes, Yuanyuan explained very correctly, Yuanyuan is so smart. Liu Hong squatted down and praised.
"Sister Liu Hong, are you tired, can you stand and say no?"
"Sister Yanzi, this is a must to communicate with children on an equal footing. Children like people who can look directly at them, not look up. ”
"Okay, don't show off your way of educating children, which mother won't educate her own children. Come over and help me with my work. Mother Liu didn't like to listen to it, half for the swallow's hypocrisy, and half for her son's nest.
"Mom, this is scientific parenting. ”
"Saying that you are fat and kicking it, science is not scientific, you have not all grown so big. Chop some minced meat, and make dumplings at night. Mother Liu closed the kitchen door with her hand, looking unhappy.
Liu Hong suddenly felt that everything was back to the way it was. Mom was also very satisfied with Yanzi at the beginning, but there were many contradictions when they really lived together, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was almost intolerable. Alas, all you can change is yourself, you can't change others. I have to be more attentive to get along with my future sister-in-law.
Everyone was happy to eat lunch. In the afternoon, Liu Hong went home. Cheng Qing and Liu's father drank a lot of wine, although they were not drunk, they also wanted to go home and sleep well.
"After eating the dumplings, why are you in such a hurry to go home? Mother Liu looked at Liu Hong, who had not left the kitchen since she entered the door, and said angrily.
"Mom, there are few people in the car at this point, and the road is slippery and it's too late to walk. ”
"When you go back, you hold the child, it's really useless to see the wine and drink it as if you met your father. Mother Liu looked at Cheng Qing and said disdainfully.
"Mom, my brother is drunk, why don't you say it. Liu Hong also said angrily.
"And your father, all of them are unproductive. Let's go, I'll be free and I'll be back with my granddaughter. ”
"Aunt, Liu Fu and my uncle haven't been drinking with Cheng Qing yet, otherwise Liu Fu wouldn't have been drunk any time. Behind him came the voice of a swallow. Liu Hong pretended not to hear it with a little disgust, and walked quickly with Yuanyuan in her arms.
