Chapter 43: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Student holidays are indeed a headache for parents. Ming Hao thought about it again and again, and felt that it was indeed beneficial to gather students. First, it can ensure the quality of the operation. Students in the province are approaching the beginning of school to write homework, or even copy homework, which cannot achieve the effect of consolidation and improvement. Second, after completing the homework at the specified time and place, the children can also enjoy a holiday easily and happily! In addition, he has a consideration......

Minghao made a phone call to Lu Jiayi's mother, Lu Chang, to learn more about the size, location and facilities, and made an appointment to visit the retired teacher Ai.

Since the cold weather, the "English Corner" in the park has been closed. Every Sunday, only Chen Jiabao, Lu Jiayi, and Dong Zixuan came to Teacher Ai's house.

Seeing Ming Hao and Lu Chang coming, Teacher Ai was very happy: "Ming Hao, if you don't come, I still want to call you!" You said that this 'English corner' stops, but it suffocates me! Stay at home all day, and I'm sick even if I'm not sick! ”

Teacher Ai's wife said, "No, I know it's going to be a holiday, so I have to vacate the living room!" Say it's an 'English Corner' at home! You say, where should I move this sofa and furniture? ”

Jiayi's mother Lu Chang said excitedly: "Teacher Ai, your idea is so good! How can we parents thank you? ”

"Teacher Ai, the living roomβ€”don't move!" English Corner's classrooms are all for you! Ming Hao said, "We are here to invite you today!" ”

Lu Chang talked about the situation in the classroom, and said: "Teacher Ai, this winter, tossing you every day, we are a little reluctant not to ......"

"Hey! What's not to think about? It's all my students! - You don't know the mood of a teacher, if there are no students around you, it's like losing your soul! But β€”β€”, let's talk about it! I'm just doing my duty, no charge. If you want to give money, I won't go! "Teacher Ai's stubbornness has come up again!

Ming Hao and several parent representatives discussed the specific time, basically arranged before the Spring Festival, half a day a day, in addition to Teacher Ai's English tutoring, the rest of the time there are class representatives responsible for homework guidance in each subject.

However, the students did not agree to this arrangement!

"Can you shorten the number of days? If you don't have a few days, you can study all day! Dong Zixuan said.

Lu Jiayi also said: "The number of days is reduced by half, we are in the study class all day, and the homework can be completed!" Because she knew that if she finished her homework earlier, Jiabao would be able to reunite with Grandma Zhang without worries, and her aunt and uncle would be able to take a break!

Seeing that everyone had this opinion, Ming Hao and the parent committee had no choice but to agree.

So, Lu Chang took the lead and arranged two parents to be on duty every day, and after Teacher Ai finished class, there were parents who were responsible for self-study discipline. The representative of each subject is responsible for sending the received homework to the corresponding teacher every day, and then is responsible for explaining the last homework problem during self-study.

The class ran for a week and everything was in order. There is no morning self-study, no evening self-study, and students do not have to get up early and stay late, which can be regarded as satisfactory for both parties

……

It was time for school at noon, and as usual, Jiayi's mother came to pick up Jiabao and Jiayi, and the two got into the car with a smile. The brothers and sisters have long since released their previous suspicions, and whether it is grandparents or Jiayi's mother, they all love Jiabao. Sometimes, Jiabao even feels warmer in this home than in front of his parents.

"Jiabao, you haven't lived at home for a few days, have you?" Jiayi's mother looks at Jiabao from the rearview mirror.

Jiayi saw Jiabao squinting at herself, and hurriedly said, "Don't look at me, I didn't say anything!" ”

"You know that, too?" Mom asked Jiayi, and then said to Jiabao, "Today in the company, your father asked me, do you live with us?" I just found out you didn't live at home. ”

"I lived at my old grandmother's house." Jiabao whispered.

"Mom, his grandmother is sick and has been living at his aunt's house before, so I hope to go back to my house with him for a while during the holidays. However, he didn't dare to tell his parents, so he lied. However, I came up with the idea, and I am also considered an accomplice. If you want to criticize, even the two of us should criticize together! ”

"My own business, don't follow it! It's none of your business! "Jiabao stopped Jiayi.

Jiayi's mother smiled and said, "Isn't this a bad thing, is it necessary to protect each other?" ”

"Mom, you haven't seen Grandma Zhang. She's fine! Not only for the 'baby', but also for me! What's more, the food she makes is delicious! I know why 'Baby' is so fat. Lu Jiayi pinched Jiabao's fat face and said.

"'Baby' is what you should call you?" Jiabao pushed Jiayi's hand away and said.

"Isn't that what Grandma Zhang called you?" Baby'! 'Baby'! I don't know, I thought it was a baby in my arms! Jiayi almost laughed out of breath.

"You can't call it that! - You're a sister! Jiayi's mother solemnly admonished her daughter.

Chen Jiabao was reasonable, and said, "Did you hear that?" You are a sister, you have to respect me in the future! ”

"Jiabao, this matter, it's not a way to hide it, you can't contain the fire in the paper." Jiayi's mother said.

"But we didn't come up with anything. Grandma doesn't seem to be very sick. I asked my aunt, and my aunt didn't say anything. During the day, my aunt and uncle took care of my grandmother. In the evening, I went to replace them. Jiabao said helplessly.

"It's not easy for us to come forward in this matter. Auntie gives you an idea,β€”β€” you can ask Teacher Ming to help persuade your parents! Jiayi's mother said.

……

At noon, Jiayi's family was eating, but an uninvited guest came.

Jiabao was stunned for a moment and said, "Mom! You- how did you get here? ”

Jiang Meina saw the happy eating scene of her grandfather, grandmother, Jiayi's mother and the two children, and she was very unthinking, and said, "Do you still know that I am your mother?" I thought you were going to change mom! ”

Grandma Chen slapped her chopsticks on the table and said, "Change dad - it's enough to toss my grandson!" Do you want to change your mother? Swap out addiction? ”

"Momβ€”β€”, how can you say that?" Jiang Meina said with an embarrassed face, "It's not that Jiabao hasn't gone home for a few days, I'll take a look." ”

"Jiabao didn't come home to live?" Grandma Chen turned her head to look at Jiabao, "Then where did you go at night?" ”

Mom was able to chase here, which Jiabao didn't expect. Grandma asked again, and Jiabao didn't know how to answer. If you tell the truth, your mother will definitely be angry, and your grandfather and grandmother will not be happy? So, he hesitated and didn't answer.

Jiayi looked embarrassed by Jiabao, so she said, "Just say it!" It's not an unsightly thing! What's so hard about it? ”

Grandpa Chen said: "Jiabao, at home, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Don't be afraid! ”

"I ...... I'll goβ€”" Jiabao still stumbled.

"Hiβ€”β€”! I said, he went to Grandma Zhang's house! Grandma Zhang was sick, and he went to accompany Grandma Zhang every night. Jiayi put things together.

When Jiabao's mother heard this, she immediately rushed over to hit Jiabao, but Jiayi directly blocked in front of Jiabao.

"You got a donkey kick in the head? Is she sick or not, does it have anything to do with you? Do you need to offer filial piety? You know: your surname is Chenβ€”β€”! Dare to go to Lao Zhang's house again, see if I don't discount your legs! Jiabao's mother was furious.

Grandma Chen slapped the table and shouted: "If you want to say what it has to do with the old Zhang family, you have to ask yourself!" If you don't fix those things, the child can bear a debt? Go home and play with your majesty! See clearly, this is not your home! If you want me to say, my grandson did the right thing! This is called affectionate, righteous and humane! Then he said to Jiabao, "Good boy, grandma supports you!" If you can do this to your grandmother before, you will be no different from your grandfather and me in the future! - Go upstairs and go to sleep, you still have classes in the afternoon! Soon, grandma will call you. ”

Jiayi's mother took Jiayi and Jiabao upstairs. Jiabao's mother stood there stupidly, very boring.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Grandma Chen asked.

"Mom, you see, for such a long time, Jiabao has come here to eat at noon every day, which has caused you and Dad a lot of trouble. I should have come to visit you two years ago...... ”

Before Jiang Meina finished speaking, she was stopped by the old lady: "I am willing to take care of my own grandson and granddaughter, and I can't talk about trouble." However, I don't get used to hearing your 'mom'. Jiabao is my grandson, and we recognize it. But, you β€”β€”, we can't afford to be these 'parents'! ”

"I know that your second elder has misunderstood me, and I don't want to defend it. I thought, since Chen Chuan and I are already a legal husband and wife, why do I have to fulfill my obligation to be a daughter-in-law? I would like to ask you to live with us, and let me do a little filial piety. After all, legally, Jiayi's mother is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and it is not appropriate to trouble her to take care of the elderly. Jiabao's mother said and tried to pull the old lady's hand, but was pushed away.

Grandpa Chen said, "Let us live with you?" Where do we live? You're a two-bedroom house, do you want us to squeeze into the same room with Jiabao, or let us sleep in the living room? ”

"How wronged you are! Wouldn't it be okay for us to move over? Jiabao's mother said busily.

Grandma Chen and her wife looked at each other and said to their mother, "You moved here?" Living with Jiayi's mother and daughter? Is this appropriate? It's easy to say, isn't it? Besides, Jiayi and her mother won't do such a ridiculous thing, right? ”

"Isn't this villa in the name of your second elder? Jiayi's mother doesn't lack a house, right? She has nothing to do with the Chen family anymore, and even the child's name has been changed to Lu Jiayi! Your second elder will live with them again, where will Chen Chuan and I put their face? ”

"Does Chen Chuan still have face? Chen Chuan's face has long been lost in your 'jumping off the building'! The old lady's mouth was like a knife, and every word could cut a cut on Jiang Meina's body.

"I'm afraid you're not here today just to give us two old things filial piety, right?" Grandpa Chen asked slowly.

This sentence reminded the angry Grandma Chen.
