The in-laws' family celebrates the New Year
Dad corrected: "What Chen Song's mother, you can't talk like this in your mother-in-law's house, you have to say it directly to your mother-in-law." ”
Liu Xiaoai nodded violently and said, "Dad is right, it's my mother-in-law." ”
After chatting with my parents for a while, I asked my little niece to come over and talk about it, and then I turned off the video.
Liu Xiaoai is very fortunate at the moment, she is not an only child.
Most of the children born in the 80s are only children in the city. The feudal ideology in the countryside is serious, and they all pay attention to having more children and more blessings, so generally a family has two children.
At that time, family planning was still quite strict, but it was somewhat more relaxed for rural people. Therefore, it is only a fine to have a second child.
Liu Xiaoai is only two years older than her own brother, and her younger brother was fined a few hundred yuan when he was born.
In the 80s, a few hundred yuan was a huge amount of money for a rural family.
Many people in the countryside are patriarchal for thousands of years. Generally, the first child in the family is a girl, so when you want a second child, you will try to give birth to a boy.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoai's parents did not have to be a son, but also because the family was too poor and it was difficult to raise two children. So after Liu Xiaoai was born, her parents didn't plan to have a second child.
Unfortunately, some people just get pregnant too easily. For example, Liu Xiaoai's mother.
A few months after Liu Xiaoai was born, her mother became pregnant.
Because I didn't plan to have a second child, I went to the hospital for surgery.
Even though Liu Xiaoai's parents were very careful, they were pregnant again when Liu Xiaoai was one year old.
At that time, Liu Xiaoai's mother also had surgery done in the township health center.
After learning that she was pregnant again, Liu Xiaoai's father rode a bicycle and carried Liu Xiaoai's mother to the township health center.
Providence should have allowed Liu Xiaoai's younger brother to come to the world, because he went to the township health center three times in a row, and the doctor in charge of the abortion operation did not go to work because of personal matters.
When they went again for the fourth time, Liu Xiaoai's mother was stopped by an elder with whom she had a good relationship.
The old man said to Liu's mother that he would have another child no matter what. The two children are companions, and when they are old, they will have someone to serve them.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoai's parents finally listened to the advice of their elders and left this life-old child.
This child is Liu Xiaoai's current younger brother Liu Xiaohu.
Because of this child, Liu Xiaoai's parents were fined several hundred yuan and were dragged for ligation.
When Liu Xiaohu was young, he would ask himself where he came from like other children, and Liu Xiaoai's parents would tell him that he had bought it for hundreds of yuan.
Liu Xiaoai has rarely stayed at home since she went to school. When I got married, I saw my parents once or twice a year.
She felt fortunate that her brother was with his parents.
On her own, she can't be filial to her parents at all, and if she doesn't have a younger brother to guard her parents, she won't be at ease.
Liu Xiaoai will not fight with Chen Song now because of whose house they are celebrating the New Year, their default is to celebrate the New Year at Chen Song's house.
Maybe the first generation of only children will find out after they get married, because of the question of whose house to spend the New Year in, both of them can develop to fight or even divorce.
Liu Xiaoai has no troubles in this regard. Even if she wants to celebrate the New Year at her parents' house, her parents will not agree.
Because there is a saying in their hometown, that is, a married daughter cannot spend the New Year in her mother's house, otherwise her mother's family will not go well this year.
