Chapter 4: Mother

Xia Yu was a little bored when he heard this, and it happened that Xiaoyuan also broke free from Xia Yu's hand, and Xia Yu took the opportunity to say goodbye to chasing the child.

Looking at the steaming road now, Xia Yu thought about the principle of proximity and was unwilling to toss, so he took Xiaoyuan directly to the nearby in-laws' house. Opening the door, her in-laws were having lunch, Xia Yu chatted with her in-laws for a while, and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to choose a few interest classes for Xiaoyuan in the afternoon, it just happens that the weather outside is hot, and I don't want to toss with Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan will be here with you this afternoon, and I will pick him up after I finish my business." "

The mother-in-law nodded in agreement, and the father-in-law, who has always been brainless and straightforward, spoke: "Why are you signing up for so many interest classes, just give money to others, you haven't been to work recently, you are playing at home alone anyway, and you are not tired of taking a child, why spend thousands more unjust money, how good it is to save money." "

Facing this father-in-law who had no iron at all, Xia Yu had no choice but to roll his eyes and look contemptuous behind the two of them. Seeing Xia Yu facing the window and being silent, Jin kept his back to the two of them, and her mother-in-law was more reasonable, nodding in agreement: "It's good for children to cultivate some hobbies from an early age, and Xiao Xia's arrangement is very good." "

then scolded her husband: "My mother can't listen to your words like you who can't get on the stage and don't know, so she knows that you have been picking all your life, and you haven't become a rich man, and you are still so poor." Xiao Xia must have a sense of proportion in his heart when doing things, don't talk nonsense. Let's talk about children's education, how can we save it? Elm head, I don't want to talk to you anymore. "

Then he glanced at her husband: Didn't you see that Xia Yu's face was not good and he didn't say anything? Shut up.

The father-in-law really stopped talking and continued to eat, Xia Yu said: "I just want Xiaoyuan to learn some things, exercise by the way, and exercise his physique well." I'll put it here Xiaoyuan, I'll go to sleep first. "

Xia Yu walked into his bedroom and turned on the air conditioner, feeling depressed, thinking that he was fortunate to live separately from his in-laws, otherwise living with them, the generation gap is so deep, and if he doesn't talk more than half a sentence, he would have been depressed and depressed to death, and there would definitely be conflicts. Although I am a little tired now, I am fortunate to be free and stress-free, which is good. Xia Yu tossed and turned before falling asleep.

It was already more than three o'clock when he woke up, Xia Yu curled up in the thin quilt, feeling the coolness and comfort in the room, Xia Yu was particularly greedy for this cool feeling, and played in the quilt with his mobile phone for more than half an hour, and finally made up his mind to get up, when he came to the living room, his in-laws were eating watermelon with Xiaoyuan, watching Xia Yu open the door, Xiaoyuan immediately jumped off the chair, ready to use a pair of small hands full of watermelon juice to pull Xia Yu's light-colored clothes, Xia Yu immediately used his bag to make a defensive gesture, and coaxed his son: "Xiaoyuan, Eat watermelon and watch cartoons at home, how about your mother bring you grapes back in a while? ”

When Xiaoyuan heard his mother say that he would bring back delicious crystal grapes, he secreted a lot of saliva in his mouth, and nodded busily: "Okay, Mom, you come back early." I'm going to have ice cream too. ”

Then climb into a chair and continue eating watermelon. Xia Yu got off the elevator and walked in the community with an umbrella, feeling that in this hot summer, he was about to become a hot iron plate, Xia Yu quickly ran to his electric car, rode the electric car to the training class, and finally got a cool breath in this hot heat wave. Xia Yu went to several training institutions in the afternoon, screened them one by one, and when he returned to his home in the evening, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and Xia Yu thought that he might have suffered from heat stroke in this summer.

Immediately found the medicine box, drank two sticks of Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, and sent a WeChat message to her husband: I have a heat stroke and am resting at home, you go to your parents' house for dinner at night.

Then I was blowing the air conditioner on the bed, my head was a little dizzy, and the screen of the mobile phone I was looking at was a little blurry, so I simply threw the phone aside, wanting to take a good rest. Soon the phone rang, and it was Zhang Shan's phone: "How is it now?" Have you taken any medicine? ”

Xia Yu hummed: "I drank two Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, I got a little better, and now I'm sleeping." ”

Zhang Shan nodded: "Well, then you can rest well, I have to work overtime tonight, and I don't think I will come back at night." ”

Xia Yu nodded: "Well, Xiaoyuan will stay at his grandparents' house, anyway, there are one or two sets of change of clothes over there." ”

After saying that, Xia Yu hung up the phone, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, the days of being a mother were really happy, busy, depressed and tired. Since Xiaoyuan was born, except for Xiaoyuan going to kindergarten, catching a cold and fever at work, etc., Xiaoyuan has always stayed by his side, and he has always accompanied Xiaoyuan, and there is no time and space for his own independence and freedom. Only like now, can I take a good rest and live my own life.

Whatever, Xia Yu, who had been idle for half a day, had already recovered from heat stroke, ate some watermelon and biscuits and pastries, and solved dinner, Xia Yu was free to slump on the sofa to watch TV and play with his mobile phone, blowing the cool air conditioner and eating fruit on the sofa. Xia Yu sighed happily, this is the life of a person, without the troubles of children, without the dislike of her husband, it is simply enjoyable to live a comfortable life alone.

Xia Yu enjoyed the current days, and then the good times didn't last long, only eight o'clock, he received a call that he wanted to escape very much, Xia Yu looked at the name on the phone, his heart was upset, and he chose to ignore it directly, and let the phone keep screaming, just ignore it. Originally, Xia Yu thought that the other party would die, but he didn't expect the phone to ring again a few minutes later, Xia Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and answered the phone without saying a word.

Wang Xiuzhen's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Have you been busy lately?" Why don't you answer my phone all the time, and you don't reply to WeChat text messages? Aren't you on vacation now? Why are you still so busy? ”

Xia Yu said angrily: "Even if it's a holiday, I have to be a housewife to take care of the children, and I don't have time to answer your call." ”

Listening to Xia Yu's unkind tone, the other end of the phone was dull for a second, and continued: "I said that you are now young and hurry up to have a second child, I know that you are fortunate to have a child, even if you are tired and tired, you have to have a second child, why are you disobedient, I am doing this for your good." ”

As soon as he heard his mother say this, Xia Yu was angry, and the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for more than half a year complained directly to his mother on the phone: "No matter how hard and tired I am, you think that I am like you, raising two children at home without going to work, and raising the children."

I'm afraid you don't know, in the past six months, I have gotten up on time at six o'clock in the morning every day, prepared breakfast for three people, and dressed Xiaoyuan, washed and fed, packed up things, and usually sent Xiaoyuan to kindergarten at about eight o'clock. A lot of the time in the morning we ate the porridge with the reservation.

I was late for work several times when I sent Xiaoyuan to kindergarten, and I was busy at work, so I asked Xiaoyuan's grandparents to pick me up, and I often didn't go home until half past eleven in the evening. I go out early and return late every day, wearing the stars and the moon, and I am so busy and tired that I only have half a life left.

Every time I just got off work, Xiaoyuan's grandfather immediately packed Xiaoyuan back and threw it back to me, I didn't have any rest time at all, in the past half a year, I have been a clock and watch machinery that keeps turning, and even take care of Xiaoyuan when I sleep at night, I haven't had a good rest at all.

Zhang Shan couldn't help anything, at most, he occasionally pressed rice and washed the dishes, accompanied Xiaoyuan to throw away the garbage, and I was dealing with everything at home alone, and I was already too busy to breathe.

If you really give birth to a second child, I guess I won't even have my life, haven't you seen many people have a second child, everything is pressed on the mother, and many young mothers are depressed and jump off the building to commit suicide?

I don't have the conditions to have a second child now, and I don't want to have a second child. I'd rather be selfish, I'd rather be lonely than push myself to a dead end. I don't want to hear you, I'll tell you the truth, and I don't want to contact you. ”

Then Xia Yu angrily hung up the phone, wiped the tears from his face, and sat on the sofa alone with a tissue to wipe his tears.

The more Xia Yu thought about it, the more sad he became, when did he start a cold war with his own mother, and now he didn't say a word.

Xia Yu thought that he and his mother had a lot of contradictions, although his mother hurt herself a lot of times, but he still tried his best to be filial to her. But since Xiaoyuan's grandmother had surgery half a year ago, Xia Yu has begun to support the family alone.

Although her husband and in-laws suggested many times that Xia Yu take her own mother over to help take care of Xiaoyuan, Xia Yu remembered the sentence that her mother often said, "Mother duck hatches eggs, stupid grandmother takes grandchildren".

Xia Yu's mother has always been a patriarchal person, Xia Yu is in high school for less than 300 yuan a month for living expenses, and he can only go to college to study for free, because he has a younger brother in high school.

But when his younger brother was in high school, he actually had to eat 1,500 yuan of living expenses, although his younger brother finally took the second exam, his parents still spent a lot of money for his younger brother to finish college, and Xia Yu spent more than 20,000 yuan in four years of college (including the thousands of yuan that Xia Yu rented after graduation, although Xia Yu returned it to his own mother after working), and was still complained by his mother that he spent too much.

In the eyes of his mother, Xia Yu just spends too much, and Xia Yu's younger brother Xia Jiehua has more of it. Xia Yu endured these things, and when Xia Yu and Zhang Shan got married on a blind date, Xia Yu encountered the most humiliating thing in his life. Xia Yu's own mother Wang Xiuzhen, in order to save money, repair the house, and Xia Jie, did not ask for any bride price from her prospective son-in-law Zhang Shan, so Wang Xiuzhen naturally did not have to spend a penny to buy a dowry for Xia Yu, so Xia Yu should be married.

Although Xia Yu later knew that many friends around him would buy a lot of dowry when they got married, this is a woman's face after all. But Wang Xiuzhen obviously had money in her hands at the time, but she was unwilling to take it out to buy a dowry for Xia Yu, although Xia Yu was sad, she still endured it and still completed the wedding.

Later, watching other friends get married, and the dowry that their parents bought for them, this thorn in Xia Yu's heart still grows.
