Chapter 34: The Conflict Between Parents and Grandmother

Cao'er and her mother are gradually getting acquainted, but always, in the core of her life, is grandma, she is actually afraid of life, her mother looks for her, she follows, but she can't always say that she takes the initiative to find her mother to say or do something.

But Cao'er's mother is a young man, seeing that Cao'er's grandmother is full of doting on Cao'er, without any disobedient education methods, she still doesn't approve of it in her heart, but it's inconvenient to say anything, so she takes Cao'er more to do things.

When it's okay, Cao'er's mother will teach Cao'er to cook. Cao'er was small, and she didn't stand up as high as the stove, so she moved a small bench and let Cao'er stand up, stir-frying the vegetables according to her mother's words. The first dish Cao'er made under the guidance of her mother was stir-fried sauerkraut with chili peppers. Shoveling sauerkraut into the empty plate of the stove and dropping some to the outside of the plate, but it was still praised by the family, but Cao'er's grandmother felt that Cao'er was still young, not to mention that she was so small, and her hand strength was not enough, so she didn't have to learn to cook so early.

Cao'er still doesn't think much about anything, just obediently does what she says, and is never unhappy.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were guests at home, and they couldn't live there, so Cao'er's mother proposed that Cao'er live with herself, anyway, Cao'er's father couldn't come back at night in the unit, so that the old lady among the guests could sleep with Cao'er's grandmother and settle down.

Cao'er was not happy when she heard this, so she pulled her grandmother out and whispered:

"Grandma, tell your mother quickly, say I want to sleep with you, I just want to sleep with you."

As soon as the grass said it herself, Grandma would satisfy herself as much as anything before. But I didn't expect that this time, it was different.

"Cao'er, you can sleep with your mother, your mother has said it, you have to listen."

Grandma didn't follow her own wishes, but persuaded herself to agree, which Cao'er didn't expect.

"Grandma, I don't want to leave you, I want to sleep with you, I just want to sleep with you."

Cao'er almost dragged her crying and begging, and tears began to appear in her eyes.

"Good granddaughter, it's only two days, if your aunt comes home tomorrow, you will come back and sleep with grandma."

The grandmother took the grass into her arms and comforted her granddaughter.

"No, no, grandma, grandma......"

Cao'er's grandmother didn't agree to Cao'er's begging after all, wiped Cao'er's tears, pulled her back to the dinner table, and told her mother that Cao'er had slept with her mother for the past two days, and would come back to sleep with her grandmother when the guests came home. Cao'er Niang agreed.

Cao'er had to sleep with her mother for two nights, and she didn't feel anything bad about sleeping with her mother, but she was still eager to go back to her grandmother to sleep with her soon, only with her grandmother, she could feel warm and happy.

But after sleeping with my mother for two nights this time, when Cao'er's father came back for the weekend, he actually discussed with Cao'er's grandmother that he would sneak Cao'er into the bed outside their room and sleep alone. After Cao'er's father and Cao'er's grandmother discussed, he directly said to his daughter:

"In a few days, Grandma will make our bed outside, and you can sleep there."

My father was never non-negotiable.

Cao'er was extremely unhappy in her heart, tears overflowed in her eyes on the spot, and she pouted. But the father turned a blind eye, and after speaking, he turned around and walked straight away, leaving Cao'er's grandmother to do Cao'er's ideological work.

Cao'er was still not stubborn with her father in the end, and obediently moved to the outer compartment of her parents' room.

In Cao'er's life, there have been more fathers and mothers since then. But still strange.

Cao'er's mother heard that Cao'er hadn't called her father Yunxin yet.

"Cao'er, go and call your dad to dinner."

At noon on Saturday, Grandma Cao'er was about to make lunch in the kitchen, and Cao'er Niang and Cao'er commanded.

"Oh."

"She won't go, so don't embarrass her."

Cao'er's grandmother knew that Cao'er was afraid of her father and helped her granddaughter to relieve her.

"Go, go and call your father to dinner, no father will call him."

Cao'er Niang did not give up, and did not accept her mother-in-law's words about her granddaughter's relief.

Although Cao'er's mother is young, ten years younger than Cao'er's father, she is a very dominant woman.

"Oh......"

Cao'er bowed her head in response, she was afraid in her heart, on the one hand, she was afraid of her mother, and on the other hand, she was afraid of the serious father in the room who had never been close to her.

There was no way, she had to bow her head and stir her hands to walk to the room step by step, push open the door, her father was lying on the bed reading, the mosquito net on the bed was put down, the grass couldn't see her father clearly, but she couldn't care so much, standing on the side of the bed hesitated for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally opened her mouth and called out tentatively in a low voice:

"Dad!"

"Hmm."

The father, who was half-lying and reading, did not show the slightest difference because of his daughter's first salutation.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

After completing the task, Cao'er finally turned around quickly and ran back to the living room with a sense of relief.

"Did you call it?"

When Cao'er Niang saw Cao'er come back, she asked.

"Called."

Cao'er bowed her head and said.

"Is it really screaming? Don't scream, I'll ask your dad later. โ€œ

Cao'er Niang doesn't know Cao'er, and she never lies.

"Cao'er said that it must have been called. Good granddaughter, come, ready to eat. โ€œ

Grandma Cao'er patiently explained to Cao'er's mother. The granddaughter she brought up naturally knows best.

Grandma Cao'er is also a strong woman with a strong backbone. In addition, Cao'er's grandmother got along very well with the Ming and Qing dynasties in the past, and she also promised the Ming and Qing dynasties to take good care of Cao'er, so she always felt that her granddaughter would not be too good in front of this very caring woman. Gradually, contradictions began.

Grandma Cao'er didn't talk about Cao'er's mother, but went to talk to the eldest son Cao'er's father Yunxin, but Yunxin and the mother's views were also different, Cao'er's grandmother was very angry, so she began to openly scold Cao'er's father, Cao'er's father was naturally not convinced, and he also shook his hands with an angry face and ran back to the room as a confrontation.

The conflict between grandma and parents escalated, but it was bitter to the grass. She didn't know why her closest people couldn't get along, especially when her father confronted her grandmother, he had to drag her back to the room with him. Grandma shouted at the side not to let her go. She was in a dilemma, and was finally dragged away by her father's words, but she was thinking about her grandmother who was still in the same place. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but she didn't know what to do, the two closest people, just tearing her, both hoping that she could stand on her side, she couldn't help it, succumbed to fear: she knew that if she didn't go with her father, what was waiting for her would be an unknown punishment, maybe there would be no punishment, but she was afraid that if she followed her father, her father's anger would disappear, but in her heart, she was worried about her grandmother, in her young heart, she always wanted to be with her grandmother.

But Cao'er's young parents don't understand Cao'er's mind at all. Cao'er's father thought that his daughter had gone back to the room with him, so he stood on his side. The father pulled Cao'er into the room and pulled Cao'er's mother and Cao'er's foreheads into his arms, hoping that the mother and daughter in his arms could get along in harmony, instead of being noisy like himself and his mother.

Afterwards, Grandma Cao'er would always ask Cao'er:

"Did your dad pull you into the room and beat you?"

"No, just talk to me and my mother."

Grass replied honestly.

"Ohโ€”that's fine."

Grandma Cao'er seemed relieved.

But the conflict between Cao'er's parents and their mother, Cao'er's grandmother, has become irreconcilable. They are planning to move out of their extended family.
