Chapter 315: A Huge Amount of Housework
That night, after dinner, the mayor's wife did not leave her job and went to Aunt Zheng's house to play mahjong as usual;
After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, she went to the living room to rest for a while.
After Hao Min and Shi Xiaochun came to the house to go out for entertainment as usual, the mayor's wife walked up to the second floor with a somewhat bulky step, and went straight to Liping's room.
After entering the door, the mayor's wife first bent down to look at her granddaughter in the cradle, and asked Liping in a concerned tone:
"Liping, how is Niuniu's appetite? Is your milk enough for her? ”
Niu Niu is the nickname that Mengdu gave to his daughter.
As everyone knows, Niuniu's big name is "Wang Jingyan", which was taken by Liping's father Zhang Xueru.
Because "Wang Jingyan" is still young, whether it is an adult of the Wang family or an adult of Zhang Xue, they are now called "Wang Jingyan" as Niuniu.
"Mom, Niu Niu has a good appetite. Now, I don't have enough milk for her every day! ”
Liping replied carefully to her mother-in-law.
"Oh, a good appetite is the best! If you have a good appetite, you will grow fast and healthy! ”
The mayor's wife nodded thoughtfully.
As she spoke, she straightened up, sat down at the small round table beside her, and said to her daughter-in-law unhurriedly:
"Liping, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Mom, if there's anything, just say it."
Liping walked to the cradle, tucked the corner of the quilt for Niuniu who was lying inside, and then stood in front of her mother-in-law to listen to her.
"Liping, I think so, now, there are a lot of people living at home. You see, there are two people in me and Mengdu's father, three people in Jiandu and Yaranga Yangyang, you and Mengdu plus Niuniu, plus a little nanny, how many people are there in total? Nine people, right?
Well, nine people live under one roof, and there are naturally more housework. Relying on the nanny alone, even if she has three heads and six arms, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep busy. You say, don't you? ”
Before Xiang Liping officially spoke, the mayor's wife first calculated the existing living population of the family to her daughter-in-law.
She saw Liping nodding silently, so she continued:
"Liping, I think so, now, how many days of maternity leave do you have? Half a month? Well, there is still half a month of maternity leave. Now, your confinement has already ended, and your body has recovered well. In this last half month of maternity leave, I thought, can you help the little nanny share some of the housework? ”
Oh, my mother-in-law has said so much, her real purpose is to ask me to do housework?
At the beginning, Liping didn't know why her mother-in-law wanted to count how many people in the family were living now, and after listening to it for a long time, she now understood that she wanted to share the housework by herself!
However, Liping didn't care about sharing housework, so she nodded happily and said:
"Mom, no matter what the housework is, I can share it. When I was in my mother's house, I used to do housework! ”
"Hmm. It's good to be able to share it! ”
The mayor's wife was somewhat disappointed when she saw that Liping had no objection to doing housework.
However, she believes that after a long time, more work, and overwork, the daughter-in-law will definitely have resentment in her heart, and after accumulating over time, the resentment in her heart will grow rapidly, and when she reaches the limit, there will definitely be an outbreak!
After listening to Liping's answer, the mayor's wife paused for a moment and continued:
"Liping, I think so, we are a family of eight, plus the little nanny Lingzi, nine people eat every day, buy vegetables, the sanitation on the first floor, and the clothes of the Jiandu family of three, and the clothes of me and Mengdu's father, all of which are taken care of by the little nanny; The rest of you and Mengdu's clothes, Niuniu's clothes, diapers, etc., are your own responsibility. ”
"Okay, Mom, that's no problem!"
Liping replied sincerely.
"Well, and,"
When the mayor's wife saw that her daughter-in-law had agreed so readily, she looked at her fixedly for a while, and then said:
"Also, the sanitation on the second and third floors, including the stairs, the staircase, the six rooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and the sanitation on the balcony, you can also do it together." Oh, by the way, there are more than twenty pots of flowers on the balcony, and you can't forget to water them every day, and you have to fertilize them every once in a while. ”
Ah——?h
Sanitation on the 2nd and 3rd floors?
Sanitation including six rooms and two bathrooms on the second floor?
There is also a sanitary ??? on the balcony
That's not a little bit of housework!
There are indeed six rooms on the second and third floors.
Let's start with the second floor:
On the second floor, Jiandu and Yalan's family of three lived in one room;
He and Mengdu live in a room for three people;
There is also a room for temporary visitors, isn't that three?
Let's talk about the third floor:
On the third floor, the parents-in-law lived in one room;
The father-in-law's study occupies one room;
There is also a gym where my father-in-law and mother-in-law exercise, and there are three of them!
Plus there is a bathroom on each floor and a balcony on the north and south.
Every day, I have to water and fertilize more than 20 pots of flowers on the balcony.
W-How much work is this?!
Liping looked at her mother-in-law with some surprise, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
"What? You don't want to? ”
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was bored and did not answer, the mayor's wife immediately asked a question.
"Ah, I—I do."
Liping saw that her mother-in-law's face was obviously gloomy, and she was helpless, so she agreed against her will.
"Okay, then from tomorrow onwards, you can do what I just said, huh?"
The mayor's wife immediately made a decision.
Then she got up and walked to the cradle again, looked at Niu Niu who was sleeping in the cradle, and said:
"Niu Niu is so good."
He walked away without looking back.
Wow——!
Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, how can she arrange my housework like this?
She's not "discussing", she's giving orders!
In half a month, my maternity leave is over, and I will go to work.
With so much housework, who should do it if I officially go to work?
Could it be that when I go to work, and there are so many housework, does my mother-in-law want me to do it alone?
If I had to do it alone, how much time would it take!
After the mayor's wife left, Liping looked at her daughter in the cradle blankly, and her heart suddenly welled up with infinite melancholy and depression.
At this time, she really wanted to find someone to talk to, and really started to confide in someone to talk about the bitterness in her heart.
I think that at the beginning, when I didn't give birth to Niu Niu, my mother-in-law didn't allow me to do a penny!
Moreover, not only did the Wang family's housework not let me do it, but even my mother's housework, she forbade me to do it.
At that time, she was afraid that I would hurt my fetal gas by doing housework, and she was afraid that something would happen to the "son" in my belly!
What now?
Fortunately, when I gave birth to a daughter, my mother-in-law's face changed immediately!
Listening to what she just meant, I wish I had to do all the housework at home!
Is she—is she punishing me?
Are you resenting me?
Are you going to drive me back to my mother's house?
Thinking of this, Liping slowly shook her head with infinite sorrow.
Alas——,
What to do?
Who told me that I didn't have a good stomach and didn't give birth to a grandson to the Wang family, but I just gave birth to a "money-losing goods"?
Who would have known that in the mother-in-law's heart, having a grandchild was so important?
Didn't it be said a long time ago that "men and women are equal"?
How did it come to the Wang family and the mother-in-law that the treatment of men and women is so different?
She, she's the wife of the executive vice mayor of the provincial city!
How could the wife of the executive vice mayor of a provincial city be so conservative, so backward, and patriarchal?
All the hygiene on the second and third floors, as well as the clothes of my small family of three, including Niuniu's diapers, in fact, there are daily chores with children, can I be busy with these jobs alone? Do you want to tell this to your dreams? Do you want to ask Mengdu to discuss with his mother and reduce my housework appropriately?
Such a thought suddenly flashed in Liping's mind, but she immediately denied herself.
No, Mengdu never pays attention to the affairs of the family, and in addition to going to work all day, the rest of the time is either singing or soaking feet, not shopping or playing cards......
That's a typical gentleman!
In the past, when he was "in love" with me, no, it should be said that when he chased me in the past, he completely used a deceptive method to blind my eyes and deceive my trust.
Since he married me, or rather, since I became his wife, he has shown his true colors, no longer controlling himself, no longer disguising himself!
Moreover, his attitude towards me has also changed 360 degrees, and he no longer calls me "fairy", "baby", "heart and liver", and "flesh"!
Not only did he not scream, but he often didn't go home and didn't show up all day and all night!
Especially since Niuniu was born, in addition to the first half a month, he will also visit his daughter once, two eyes, half a month later, he has no interest in Niuniu, and he cares about playing outside to have fun!
Such a husband, I told him that there are too many housework, can it still work?
Now, will he still care for me, love me, and help me?
No, perhaps, maybe I was asked to do so much housework, which was what he and his mother had consulted!
Thinking of this, Liping suddenly felt lonely, too naïve, too naïve, and too good at dreaming!
Liping quickly dispelled the idea of asking her husband for help, gritted her teeth, and put her mind at ease:
Let's go!
Since it was my mother-in-law who gave the order, I have to do it if I don't do it!
In this world, I have only heard of people dying of hunger, but I have not heard of people dying of exhaustion!
So, the next day, according to her mother-in-law's "division of labor", Liping began to take on a large set of housework that "belongs" to herself.
After getting up in the morning, after she hurriedly washed up, she first changed her daughter Niuniu's diaper;
Breastfeeding your child after changing diapers;
After feeding, go downstairs to breakfast;
After breakfast, she hurriedly washed the clothes and diapers that she had changed from, her husband and Niuniu;
After washing, start to do the staircase sanitation on the second and third floors;
Then do the sanitation of the six rooms:
To mop the floor, wipe the table, wipe the balcony;
After that, more than 20 pots of flowers on the balconies on the second and third floors were watered.
Also, you have to pack up clothes, sundries, shoes, and other things in six rooms......
It's a lot of work, and it takes at least three hours!
It's not just about time!
Whenever Liping is busy with housework, her daughter Niuniu will cry and make noise from time to time, and she will wet her diaper for a while and need to change it;
When you are hungry for a while, you have to feed;
I miss my mother for a while, I want to hug it!
According to her mother-in-law's arrangement last night, Liping tried to do a comprehensive "division of labor" instructed by her mother-in-law, and for a whole morning, including changing the child's diaper, breastfeeding, and hugging, she didn't have the time to sit down and take a breath!
Oh——!
Mother-in-law is so ruthless!
She actually assigned me so many housework after I finished confinement, before I completely recovered my strength!
She—why did she do this to me?
