Chapter 56: First Chop and Then Prelude
Lin Cen's children held a big event in the 100th day, but unfortunately, Feng Nanren didn't have time to come back in Shanghai to participate. She sent Feng Nan a 100-day photo, and the little doll was very cute.
In the middle of summer, the sun is very poisonous every day. Except for early morning and after dinner, Lin Cen spent most of his time in the same room with his mother-in-law and father. She is a novice mother who is full of yearning for parenting, and "reading books and raising babies" is a typical characteristic of this group of new mothers.
As a result, a lot of new items have been added to the house, such as bottle warmers, bottle cleaners, sterilizers, baby pedals, etc., etc., Lin Cen's hut is full of piles. When there are too many things, it looks messy, which often provokes Lin's mother to criticize. There is indeed something flashy in this:
For example, Lin Cen's milk is not enough, and the baby will make up the milk powder twice a day. The process of soaking milk powder alone requires several processes:
1. Pinch the sterilized bottle;
2. Use a special food thermometer to measure the warm water at 40 degrees to make milk;
3. After rinsing, take it to the bottle warmer for later use; (In case it is too late to make milk temporarily)
4. The used feeding bottle should be washed with a special detergent, and then placed in the disinfection cabinet for disinfection;
5. After disinfection, take out the bottle and put it on the drying rack to dry for later use;
The process alone is already cumbersome, but the feeding bottle, Lin Cen insisted on using his own high-priced imported anti-colic bottles. Every time I wash the bottle, I have to disassemble a bunch of devices, which makes my mother-in-law Guo Lan toss enough.
Guo Lan is a person with experience in raising children, but she is middle-aged and widowed, and she has a hard time with her two children. She knew that her daughter-in-law was not as good as her daughter, and she was afraid that her suggestion would be heard as something else, so she had to endure it silently and do extremely tedious and unnecessary housework according to Lin Cen's "guidance" every day.
Until one day, when she went out to buy vegetables, her little granddaughter suddenly cried and wanted to drink milk, and Father Lin held the child and drooped his face to see Lin Cen hurriedly messing around for a long time. The bottles were smashed that morning, and the brittle and sharp sound of the glass touching the floor tiles scared Lin Cen and the child a lot.
When Guo Lan came back, she saw the debris all over the ground, her daughter-in-law's red and swollen eyes, and her domineering father-in-law sitting on the sofa, so she picked up the broom and cleaned it up without saying a word. I went to the mother and baby store and bought two baby bottles that stars have used since childhood, took them back and said to Lin Cen: "I know that your bottle is from the United States, and it can't be bought in China." But Weiwei always has to drink milk in the afternoon. I'll buy you this replacement first. She pointed to the special leak valve nipple and said, "This one is also anti-flatulence." ”
Lin Cen rubbed his red eyelids, glanced at Pigeon's trademark, and replied, "I know this, this one is not as good as mine." ”
Guo Lan had a smile on her face, nodded and said that her daughter-in-law was right, but she secretly pointed outside. Lin Cen understood, so he had to accept the bottle.
Guo Lan breathed a sigh of relief: Although the process is not reduced, it is not so troublesome to wash the bottle and make the milk.
Lin Cen breathed a sigh: Even my mother-in-law can help according to my request, why did my parents fall off the chain.
In the past few days, Wang Kunshen mysteriously wanted to take Lin Cen to a place, and it was easy to meet Lin's father and Lin's mother who were not at home, so he pulled Guo Lan, Lin Cen and the little baby out in a car.
The outside world is so comfortable! Lin Cen thought to himself.
The air conditioner was on in the car, and the sun was shining through the forest outside, and Wang Kun was familiar with the road she was taking, which was the route to work, and they had been driving this boulevard for many years.
Sure enough, Wang Kun made a bend and drove the car into the side door of the school, near the side of the faculty dormitory.
"Hey, you're going to show me a colleague?" Lin Cen asked suspiciously.
Wang Kun was noncommittal, but let them get out of the car with joy, and took the child in his mother's arms and hugged it. This child was only 6 pounds when he was born, but now he has grown to 18 pounds. Wang Kun and Lin Cen both persuaded Guo Lan not to hug her from time to time, Wang Kun was distressed, and he knew that his mother's wrist had tenosynovitis. Lin Cen is because of the parenting experience taught in those books. But reason and emotion can't resist the cry of this little fat girl, only Guo Lan's hug comforts her the most. There was nothing they could do.
"Let's go, go upstairs." Wang Kun walked to the front of a building and greeted everyone.
Lin Cen followed suspiciously, and when he walked to the second floor, Wang Kun stopped and took out the key to a familiar door.
Lin Cen exclaimed, "Isn't this your Professor Teng's house!" How the key is with you. ”
Wang Kun pushed open the door and hummed the opening song of the Oscars in his mouth, telling them to go in first.
When Lin Cen saw his appearance, he suddenly understood, his heart sank, and he said, "You rented it?" ”
"That's right! Teng Lao retired and went to the United States. And the house was vacant. I wasn't looking for a house all the time, so he gave it to me. Charging 1,500 yuan in rent every month is completely symbolic. Wang Kun walked around excitedly, and said as he walked: "You see that Teng Lao has a lot of taste, although the house is old, but this layout is really elegant." Two bedrooms and one living room, our family lives just right! ”
He saw that Guo Lan was also looking around, so he ran to put his arm around his mother's shoulders with one hand, pulled her to a warm hut, and said, "Mom, you will live here in the future." Vivi's crib is just right for it. ”
Guo Lan smiled, she smiled sincerely and warmly, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes surfaced deeply, but there was a relaxed look in her eyes, she teased Xiao Weiwei, who was also looking around with her eyes open, and said, "Okay, do we Weiwei like it here?" ”
Wang Kun couldn't help but be moved when he saw his mother smiling like this, he sucked his slightly sour nose, and wanted to beckon Lin Cen to join him in moving. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he found that Lin Cen was still standing at the door, and his chest rose and fell in anger.
Guo Lan saw that her son stopped talking, and followed his gaze. Seeing the appearance of his daughter-in-law, the brilliance on his face dimmed again. She took the child, motioned for him to come over and speak, and walked to the balcony in the deepest part of the house.
"Cen Cen, what's wrong with you?" Wang Kun asked a little nervously.
"What's wrong with me?" Lin Cen felt funny, she asked angrily: "Renting a house is such a big matter, you don't discuss it with me!"
"I talked to you about ......"
"Is that communication?!" Lin Cen roared and shouted, "You just came up with an idea!" ”
Wang Kun let out a "tsk" and turned his head to look in the direction of his mother. Guo Lan was turning her back, slowly swaying her body, and whispering to her daughter about this.
"Oh! Just mention it and rent the house. Aren't you forcing the palace? Have you ever thought about what I'm going to do? Lin Cen was so emotional that he couldn't help himself.
"Lin Cen," Wang Kun's voice also raised a little, and said, "We should be independent!" I've told you this many times. If we don't separate from them, we're not independent, you know? Besides, the house I rented is simply not too good. Good owners, good period, good location. I wanted to surprise you! ”
"You'll wait!" Lin Cen suddenly walked forward and forced him to ask in front of Wang Kun: "What's wrong with my parents, let you say so much to them!"
"You're just vexatious!" Wang Kun was also anxious.
"Am I vexatious? I told you, I don't want to go out and live right now. I'm used to living at home......"
"You're going to live at home for the rest of your life, aren't you?" Wang Kun interrupted.
"It's not!" Lin Cen raised his neck and said, "The new house is installed, we will go over to live, why don't you go and install the new house?!"
"You ......"
"That's it!" Guo Lan heard that the voices of the little couple were getting higher and higher, and she really couldn't stay out of the matter, so she came back to stop her: "Wang Kun, you speak well!"
Wang Kun was suddenly drunk by his mother, and there was nowhere to vent his words, his hand was on the back of his head with thick hair, turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly paused, and said to himself: "What an unrepentant giant baby......"
"What did you say?!"
"I said we're all giant babies, but I don't want to be anymore, and you don't know how to repent."
Wang Kun didn't look back, but his form and voice conveyed a sentiment of compassion and disdain.
