Chapter 28: Don't worry about money

But what did the mother and son eat at noon? Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that she hadn't ordered takeout for a long time, so Xiaoyu and Dongdong sat together and ordered their favorite takeout. I still remember the last time Dongdong went to Xiao Wang's house next door, drinking the leftover soup and water from the takeaway next door, Dongdong felt that it was very delicious, and drank the plastic bowl to the bottom.

Half an hour later, the delivery man arrived, and Xiaoyu finally ate the dry rice with fat intestines and shredded fish-flavored pork, with a satisfied face, and ordered a pork dumpling with cabbage and mushrooms. Dongdong is a strange guy, the kind of guy who only likes to eat dumpling wrappers and doesn't like to eat dumpling fillings. But let him only eat the dough, and he felt that the dumpling skin without the dumpling filling seemed to have no soul and no taste.

Eat corn on the cob, steamed ones don't like to eat it. I only like to eat corn cobs stewed with pork ribs, this bear kid is annoying. He still likes to be a vegetarian, but he doesn't like to eat meat, Xiaoyu doubts whether he was a monk in his last life?

gave birth to such a picky baby, Xiaoyu was really worried.

Dongdong barely sandwiched a dumpling and ate it, Xiaoyu also ate one, although the takeaway dumplings are said to be filled with mushrooms and cabbage pork, but there are only a few mushrooms and pork, almost all of which are cabbage, this merchant profiteer.

Unexpectedly, such vegetarian dumplings just met Dongdong's appetite, Dongdong actually ate them in one go, Xiaoyu was stunned in surprise, and it confirmed that Dongdong must have been a monk in his last life and liked to eat vegetarian.

Seeing the light rain outside, Xiaoyu had no choice but to sit on the bed and play with her mobile phone with Xixi, with a hot water bottle on her feet, lying next to Xiaoyu and playing with the tablet.

Xiaoyu saw that the birthday transfer red envelopes she sent to her father were about to expire, why hadn't her father received them yet?

In fact, my father used to work outside all the year round, and Xiaoyu had a difficult opportunity to celebrate her father's birthday. When my mother heard this, she immediately refused: "We are still in home isolation now, don't come over, besides, I have a cold now, I am drinking Chinese medicine, I don't want to cook, and I am afraid of messing with Xixi." Sissy finally got better of the cold, don't recur. ”

Anyway, my mother has all kinds of excuses to not let Xiaoyu go back, and Xiaoyu also knows that my mother doesn't want to trouble. Xiaoyu had no choice but to say: "It's okay if I don't come back, I will transfer the money to my father and accept it quickly, my father is recovering from a serious illness, and his nutrition must keep up." ”

Mom agreed, but a day passed, and seeing that the transfer was about to expire, Xiaoyu called and asked, "Dad, why haven't you received the red envelope yet?" ”

Dad said, "Your mom said that I won't be allowed to accept your transfer." ”

The mother on the side said: "Last time your father was hospitalized, you spent money and paid back the nutrition fee, and now I won't ask for your money if I say anything." You have two children now, and you have a nanny at home, and the cost is high, so I won't ask for it. ”

Xiaoyu persuaded: "Don't worry, even if you have two children, you can raise them, don't miss this money, take the red envelope quickly." Every time my in-laws celebrate their birthdays, I transfer money to them, but they receive it quickly and unambiguously, and they never know what euphemism is. ”

My mother said: "Your in-laws used to work very hard, but now although they are living a good life, they are also quite economical, all for the good of you and Weizi." When they celebrate their birthdays, you, as a daughter-in-law, want to show it, so that their feelings can be maintained, and it is good to bring you a baby. ”

Xiaoyu nodded: "Well, I know." They are actually very good to the baby, I don't have any requirements for them, and I don't need them to cook and wash clothes for me, as long as they help me watch the baby and pick up the baby when I go to work in the future. "After all, the daughter-in-law is an outsider, so don't have too high expectations for her in-laws.

Mother: "Your two old ones are good, Weizi has a good character, and he is good to us, you can take the baby to live a good life, we have money, don't worry about us." ”

Xiaoyu nodded: "Well, I know." "I still have to express myself to my parents for the New Year.

In the evening, the mother and son grabbed a little kimchi casually, boiled rice porridge in a rice cooker, and ate it. It may be the reason for the fickleness of the weather, Xiaoyu's throat is very uncomfortable, some hoarse and slightly painful and I don't want to speak, once as a doctor's family, Xiaoyu clearly knows what to do? I found a box of amoxicillin at home, took two pills, and the effect of the drug has not yet begun. Xiao Yu looked at the pear on the table, and simply boiled a pot of rock sugar pear white fungus soup. When the soup was boiled, Weizi and they just came back, driving at night in winter, freezing hands and feet, returning home to watch the steaming white fungus pear soup, everyone drank it together, and felt particularly satisfied.

Xiao Yu hugged Xixi and looked at the fragrant pork that was brought up one after another, Xiao Yu suddenly had the feeling of killing New Year's pigs at home when she was a child, looking at the dry pork, it should be particularly delicious and delicious.

The next day, Sister Zhang was cutting blood and said, "The blood of this pig looks like a soil pig." ”

Xiaoyu was surprised: "Sister Zhang, can you actually see it?" ”

Sister Zhang: "I used to kill pigs a lot, so I can see it." ”

Xiaoyu nodded: "The local pig in my hometown is not only delicious, but also cheap." ”

Sister Zhang: "Sister Zhao, you work well, and you are quite thrifty, unlike my son, who eats restaurants outside every day, has worked for so many years, and there is not much money left in his hands. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have to come out as a nanny to subsidize the family.

Xiaoyu comforted: "Your son has money to invest, it means that he has the ability to make money, you don't have to be too careful." Young people, sometimes it's okay to give it a go. After all, young people have the opportunity to try capital. I just received a dead salary, so I didn't dare to fight casually, and my family was relatively poor when I was a child, so I was more frugal, so I wanted to live a small life in peace, that is, I didn't spend money in vain, I used what I should use, and I didn't wronged myself. ”

Sister Zhang said: "When I used to cook in other customers' homes, there were finance bureaus, banks, civil servants, and those hostesses were also as frugal as you, and they didn't like to wear makeup. ”

Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You see that I take care of the baby every day now, one big and one small, and I will have to take care of the work when I go to work in the future, how can I have time to put on makeup." Once he and his female colleagues in the unit went to the park on Women's Day, and Weizi also went with him as a family member, he was very surprised at the time, saying; 'The female colleagues in your unit are all like this. ’

Xiaoyu replied: 'We don't eat with our faces, who is the purpose of putting on makeup?' I am still my husband, so I have time to rest, so why bother. ’”

Sister Zhang nodded: "Well, it makes sense for you to say that, I used to have only one hostess of the patron's house to put on makeup, it was a thirty-year-old divorced second-married woman, his husband was in his fifties, and he was also a second-married woman, and the original partner died of illness." She puts on makeup every day, and then goes to play mahjong, and she gives a lot of money, and even the underwear is for me to wash.

is a big spender, and he is generous to his two children and his ex-husband. ”

Xiaoyu broke down in one sentence: "Because the money is not earned by herself, it is the money of her second husband, of course she is not distressed to spend it." "I need to please my husband, so I put on makeup every day. Damn, women really can't be too frugal, too themselves, you are reluctant to use money, you have other women to help you spend money, it seems that the coat you fancy can be taken down tomorrow.

Sister Zhang agreed: "But I don't know if she can live long like that?" When I was cooking for their house, she was preparing to get pregnant and have a baby, but even though she was bedridden, she still had a miscarriage. Unfortunately, I told her at the time: 'You must have a child in order to live with your current husband for a long time.' Otherwise, she might get divorced in the future. ”

Xiaoyu said: "It may be that her husband is older and has a quality problem. But she's still young, and she has a lot of opportunities, but what about later? ”

Sister Zhang: "I haven't been pregnant, so I haven't done it at their house." I don't know what her situation is now? ”

Xiaoyu thought, it seems that not only is the quality of her second-married husband in her twenties more than 20 years older than the quality problem, but her irregular playing of cards and poor physical fitness, all of which have something to do with miscarriage.

After listening to Sister Zhang's words, Xiaoyu said firmly to herself: Zhao Xiaoyu, Zhao Xiaoyu, what do you like in the future, don't worry about money, enjoy it when you should enjoy it, don't worry about anything, don't save money for Weizi, it's not his money anyway.

At noon, Xiaoyu ate fried kidney flowers, and praised it: "There is really a feeling of killing New Year's pigs at home when I was a child, eating pure pig blood instead of blood meal, you look at the real pig blood with bubbles, a little rough feeling, not as smooth as blood meal." ”

Weizi also nodded: "The taste of grain pigs and feed pigs is different, and this fried kidney flower is also delicious." ”

Sister Zhang suddenly asked: "How much did you spend on going home to kill New Year's pigs?" ”

Weizi said: "Nearly 2,000 yuan, including the labor fee for killing two pigs. ”

Xiaoyu asked, "How much does it cost to kill a pig?" ”

Weizi said: "It's an acquaintance of my uncle, and a pig costs sixty yuan." ”

Xiaoyu was surprised, raising a pig is only more than 1,000 yuan, and it is only 60 yuan for killing pigs, and it is not easy to earn money for physical work.

Sister Zhang also sighed: "This is why I want to come out and not stay in the countryside, even if I sweep the land in a big city, it is better than going home to farm and feed pigs." ”

Hearing Sister Zhang say this, Xiaoyu remembered that in the past, when school started every autumn, her father couldn't get the money, so her mother had to sell a pig, corn and other grains to make up enough tuition for herself and her younger brother.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Before Xiaoyu could act, she heard Cheng Cheng's cry next door, and Dongdong immediately went to open the door, Cheng Cheng had tears on his white little face, and he was crying sadly. Cheng Cheng didn't pay attention to Dongdong, found Xiaoyu directly, took Xiaoyu's hand, and said aggrievedly: "Dongdong's mother, woo, my mother doesn't want me anymore." ”

Xiao Yu was very surprised, and immediately took a few pieces of beef from the plate to Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng took the beef and cried while eating, Xiao Yu asked, "Cheng Cheng, what's going on?" ”
