【043】Homecoming(3)
"How did you buy so many things and come back and spend a lot of money?" Liu Yuping saw that Su Lan had taken so many things for herself, not only clothes, but also all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, so she was very worried that her son and daughter-in-law had spent a lot of money.
"Mom, don't worry, some things don't cost much, because the clothes are all from the front of Jinxiu, because they are all her own sisters, so Sister Jinxiu just charged me some manual fees."
"And gold and silver jewelry, which are not much money. These gold and silver are beautiful in style, but they don't have much weight, so they don't cost much. These jade jadeite, even more free of cost, love star and his father's army is in Yun Province, Yun Province over there is more jade and jade, I just picked up the leak, and then bought a rough stone out of the jade, so I asked someone to carve some jewelry for you to send back. ”
"After all, you are my mother-in-law, the mother who aided the DPRK, and raised him with hard work, but he has not been by your side for so many years to be filial. You are still the grandmother of my children, and they have also entrusted your care over the years, so our life is so good, I just brought you some clothes and jewelry or something to express filial piety, you can accept it. ”
"How can you say it's not worth anything? Gold and silver jewellery is now valuable. There is also a trace of jadeite, although you bought the stone yourself, but when you bought it, it must have cost money, and if you let someone help carve it, you also need money. ”
"You have a lot of children, and the third guy is in the army again, how much money does he have? Haven't you all been supporting your family all these years? It's so undeserved, you're still spending so much. ”
"Besides, I'm an old woman who lives in the countryside, where do I need such beautiful clothes and jewelry, it's not convenient, so I work in the fields."
Liu Yuping, although she is very happy that her daughter-in-law can buy her clothes and jewelry, she is also worried that the burden of her son and daughter-in-law is too heavy.
As she said, her son can have a lot of money as a soldier in the army, and he relies on his daughter-in-law to open a factory to earn money to support his children. With his son's little salary, how can he afford to support five children?
"Mom, don't worry, I said that if you have money, you will be rich, not to mention that you have also made a lot of money over the years by relying on the pharmacies you researched at the beginning. The money I made from the prescriptions sent above, they all gave me a little dividend, and I didn't have no money. ”
"You have raised us all these years, and now that we can finally make money to repay you, why do you still dislike us?" Seeing that her mother-in-law was still unwilling to accept the gift, Su Lan hurriedly comforted her mother-in-law, she really thought so.
Liu Yuping's mother-in-law is really very good, although their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is not as close as a mother and daughter, but her mother-in-law is very open-minded and does not look down on her because she has been with the army for many years and is not around.
Of course, her mother-in-law didn't even treat the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the younger daughter-in-law who were by her side, let alone her daughter-in-law who didn't have much contact?
Su Lan really likes Liu Yuping's mother-in-law, because she has seen a lot of them, anyway, she thinks that many romance mothers-in-law are really superb.
It is difficult to have an enlightened mother-in-law who does not fight with her daughter-in-law and grinds her daughter-in-law.
But Liu Yuping is very good, she may have been married to Chen Changyuan for decades and was affected by Chen Changyuan's open-mindedness.
Although she still misses her son very much, she gradually loses the resentment that her son had at the beginning when he went out to live on his own.
She also understood that after the separation, they lived by themselves, and the contradictions that could arise in life, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., did not appear.
Liu Yuping is also very good to her daughter-in-law, she will take good care of her daughter-in-law when she is pregnant and gives birth, and she will not say anything serious to her daughters-in-law.
Of course, because she valued her daughter-in-law's conduct back then, her daughter-in-law did not kick her nose in the face because she had a good temper.
When she came to Su Lan, Liu Yuping treated Su Lan equally, even if Su Lan, the daughter-in-law, didn't spend much time with her, but people were still as good as other daughters-in-law to Su Lan.
Over the years, Chen Yuanchao has not been around because of the war, and it was Liu Yuping who went to help Su Lan take care of the children when she was free, otherwise Su Lan would definitely go crazy if she was alone with five children.
Now it's just a gift to her mother-in-law, and it's still things that she can easily get, and Su Lan doesn't care about the value of these things at all.
Her mother-in-law, Lan Guiyun, has remarried and has not been in touch for many years, and the only female elder she can give various gifts to is Liu Yuping.
"Mom, you can take it, just take it as an expression of filial piety for us as children," Su Lan continued to persuade.
"Mom, these are all Xiaolan's hearts, you can take it. It should be regarded as an apology for not being by your side for all these years. Chen Yuanchao, who went out to pour water and came back, also persuaded his mother.
"Xiaolan and I haven't come back all these years, it's my eldest brother and second brother, and the younger brother who takes care of you and my dad. I can't help it, we can only buy you things to show our filial piety. And if something is dead, it is alive, so you can't break our hearts as children for such a thing, right? ”
Chen Yuanchao walked to his daughter-in-law's side and handed the water cup to his daughter-in-law, then looked at his mother and persuaded his mother to let her accept these gifts quickly.
"Yes, Mom, you just accept it, if you don't accept it, do you blame us for not being by your side all these years and being filial to you and my dad?" Su Lan also followed Chen Yuanchao's words.
"How can I blame you?" Liu Yuping was upset by the words of her son and daughter-in-law and said, "Aren't I worried that you will break the bank?" Your burden is not light, you have to raise five children, it is too expensive to buy these things for me. ”
"Mom, now our days are better, the eldest brother and the second brother and the Warring States have all made a lot of money, and my Xiaolan has also made some money, and filial piety to parents is due." Chen Yuanchao said to his mother with a smile.
"To tell you the truth, Xiaolan has made money over the years, so she can't look down on me for some allowance. Then, she sent me back all my monthly allowances, as if I had done my filial piety to my parents. ”
"Mom, if you don't accept it, do you think that I, a poor soldier, can't make money compared to the eldest brother and the second brother and the Warring States, and it's not good to dislike what my son bought?" Chen Yuanchao looked at his mother pitifully and sadly.
Liu Yuping: "......"
Liu Yuping couldn't help but smile and slapped her son and said, "What did you kid say, is your mother and me like that?" And you, why are you pretending to be pitiful when you're such a big person? ”
"Mom, you just take it, it's rare for the third brother and sister-in-law to come back, they won't feel at ease if you don't accept things." Chen Jiaojiao also persuaded her mother next to her.
