"Mom, why are you leaving work so early today?" After Ming Xi returned home with a small schoolbag, he saw that Chen Guiyun had already cooked a meal, and said in surprise.

"Well, Mom won't have to go to work anymore." Chen Guiyun took Mingxi's schoolbag, and then asked her to wash her hands and said.

"Why?" Mingxi asked puzzled.

"Because my mom is retired." Chen Guiyun said, with a meaningful smile on her face.

"Oh, is that when I get to eat my mother's cooking, I'll be able to eat it again." Mingxi nodded like a little adult.

"That's right." Chen Guiyun nodded, her eyes were a little sour, in fact, from Mingyang to Mingxi, she had not taken good care of her.

Mingyang has been cooking for his younger siblings on a stool since he was seven or eight years old, taking care of his younger siblings at home, and in comparison, his mother is really incompetent.

As for Mingxi, she has eaten at her neighbor's house since she was a child.

Chen Guiyun suddenly felt that her retirement was really the most correct choice.

She wants to compensate the children well.

Seeing the braised pork on the table, Mingxi jumped up happily.

"I knew it was my mom doing it." Mingxi said happily.

"Why?" Chen Guiyun asked puzzled.

"Because the braised pork made by Aunt Zhu is not as good as what my mother makes, and it is not as delicious as what my mother makes." Mingxi said sweetly.

"Then you can eat more." Chen Guiyun took a piece of meat and put it in Mingxi's bowl and said.

"Xiao Zhu, you can eat together." Chen Guiyun said to Zhu Xue.

"No, no." Zhu Xue waved her hand again and again and said.

"It's okay, it's crowded." Chen Guiyun shook her head and said.

Zhu Xue insisted on not eating at the table, and Chen Guiyun was not reluctant, and the mother and daughter were happy.

"Xiao Zhu, you go back first, I'll clean up after a while." Chen Guiyun said to Zhu Xue.

An expression of gain and loss appeared on Zhu Xue's face, and she was in a trance, "No, you can rest, I'll clean up, I'll clean up now." ”

Saying that, Zhu Xue immediately picked up a rag to wipe the kitchen stove.

Chen Guiyun felt that Zhu Xue's reaction was a little strange, but she didn't say much.

Coming out of Huo's house, Zhu Xue walked home a little distracted.

It wasn't until I got home that I was awakened by the child's crying.

Zhu Xue took out an egg from her thick clothes and put it in the kitchen basket, then picked up the youngest child and coaxed her.

"Mom, the fourth child wetted the bed today." The eldest daughter, Jiajia, raised her head and said to Zhu Xue.

Zhu Xue touched her youngest son's pants, they were indeed still wet, it was not easy for the eldest daughter to look at her younger siblings, and for the time being, the eldest daughter did not have this ability.

Zhu Xue took out another pair of cotton pants that were baking above the stove and changed them for her youngest son.

Then she was distracted while coaxing the children, and then the other three children were all by Zhu Xue's side.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Jiajia noticed something strange about her mother and raised her head and asked.

Zhu Xue's face was a little strange, and she said, "Mom is fine, it's okay, you're hungry, Mom will cook for you." ”

The chief's wife is retired, so there is no need for a nanny, Zhu Xue thought in her heart.

She works as a nanny in the Huo family, with a subsidy of eight yuan a month, and she still thinks that she will send her eldest daughter Jiajia and eldest son Xiaowei to school this fall, what will she do if she doesn't have this money?

Thinking of Mingxi, who is not much older than Jiajia, a girl of the same age, but there is a world of difference, she must stay.

By staying, her children can be fed and go to school.

Zhu Xue knocked out the eggs, put the egg yolk whole into the thin corn porridge, and the remaining egg whites, Zhu Xue broke them and poured them in.

When the meal was served, Zhu Xue took out the whole egg yolk and divided it into two halves, half for the youngest son Xiaolei, and the other half for the third daughter Qinqin.

Jiajia looked at the frangipani in the polenta in front of her, opened her mouth happily, then picked up the chopsticks little by little and put them in her mouth, closed her eyes with satisfaction, seeing this scene, Zhu Xue's eyes turned red again.

……

Huo Jianguo returned to see him and found that Chen Guiyun was at home, and he didn't think there was anything strange.

Chen Guiyun heated the dish and gave it to Huo Jianguo.

Huo Jianguo ate a pair of chopsticks and said in surprise: "Why do you have time to cook today?" ”

Chen Guiyun didn't show it on her face, but she was still very moved in her heart, Huo Jianguo could eat her craftsmanship in one bite, which made Chen Guiyun feel very useful.

"Hmm." Chen Guiyun nodded, did not explain, Huo Jianguo didn't care, and ate it in a big gulp.

"You eat more vegetables." Chen Guiyun picked up a pair of chopsticks and sandwiched a lot of cabbage for Huo Jianguo and said, "You don't know if you have high blood pressure, eat less fatty meat." ”

Huo Jianguo laughed twice, put two more pieces of meat in his mouth, and then began to eat the vegetables that Chen Guiyun had sandwiched for him, but the chopsticks never touched the braised pork again.

"Where's Xixi?"

Huo Jianguo put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.

"Do your homework in the house." Mrs. Chen Guiyun said with her chin down, then put the leftovers in the refrigerator and went to the kitchen to start washing the dishes.

"I'll take a look." Huo Jianguo stood up and said.

As soon as Huo Jianguo entered Mingxi's room, he saw Mingxi lying on the desk doing his homework seriously, and then a sense of pride arose.

"Dad, I don't know this question, you can tell me about it!" Mingxi picked up the homework book and handed it to Huo Jianguo and said.

"Okay, Daddy will give you a lecture." Huo Jianguo sat on the edge of the bed and said.

After Chen Guiyun washed the dishes, she also came to Mingxi's room, and then with the help of her parents, she quickly completed her homework.

"Have you been fighting at school lately?" Huo Jianguo asked with his little daughter in his arms.

"No, I've been so well-behaved lately, even the teacher has praised me." Mingxi raised his little head and said.

"I knew that Mingxi must be a good boy." Huo Jianguo said happily.

Chen Guiyun looked at Huo Jianguo, who was deceived by Mingxi, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"Lao Huo, let me tell you something." Chen Guiyun said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Huo Jianguo raised his head and asked.

"I've done it." Chen Guiyun said calmly.

"Oh."

Then Huo Jianguo suddenly reacted, "What?!" ”

"I said, I did the internal retirement, and now I am retired." Chen Guiyun was happy to see Huo Jianguo's surprised expression.

"Why don't you discuss it with me?" Huo Jianguo said anxiously, "Is something wrong, something is wrong with your body?" ”

Seeing Huo Jianguo's anxious appearance, Chen Guiyun felt a little guilty in her heart, but she quickly said: "No, I'm in good health, but I just feel that my recent work is not interesting, and I also feel a little tired and want to rest." ”

Seeing that Chen Guiyun really didn't have any reluctant expression, Huo Jianguo stood up and hugged Chen Guiyun: "I've worked hard for you all these years." ”

The tears in Chen Guiyun's eyes didn't fall, she patted Huo Jianguodi on the back and said, "It's all old husbands and wives, and I'm not afraid of children's jokes when I say this." ”

"Who will laugh, we have a good relationship, it's too late for them to be happy, Xixi, will you laugh at your parents?" Huo Jianguo deliberately asked Mingxi with a straight face.

Mingxi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not." ”
