Chapter 33: Birthday
The father-in-law said, "Didn't you call earlier?" ”
Xiaoyu asked, "I called, will you rush back immediately?" ”
The mother-in-law has always been observant of words and feelings, knowing that Xiaoyu is in a bad mood today, and said to her husband: "Wrong is wrong, just admit your mistakes, don't quibble." ”
The father-in-law is very face-saving, and of course he is not convinced by the education of the younger generation, at this time Weizi, as the head of the family, Weizi spoke: "What are you playing outside, when I come back, Xixi's crying voice is about to change, you must come back before six o'clock in the future, Xiaoyu takes the baby to cook alone, and she can't be busy at all." ”
Since the son said this, the in-laws stopped talking, that is, acquiesced. Speaking of this matter, Xiaoyu still said angrily: "Originally, I hired a nanny, I paid for the living expenses, you just have to eat and buy vegetables and occasionally help me bring the baby, you have to take the nanny away, and now everyone is very busy." Originally, Sister Zhang did it for more than 20 days this month, so you had better think twice about doing things in the future. "If you do this recklessly, then don't complain about cooking and washing dishes, and it makes me very tired.
The father-in-law said, "That's okay, I'll call Mrs. Zhang to come back." ”
The mother-in-law looked at her husband with a complaining look: "Think about it in your head, how is it possible?" ”
After Xiaoyu finished eating, she hugged Xixi back to the bedroom.
Dongdong is still eating slowly, his father-in-law was educated by his son and daughter-in-law, and he must be dissatisfied in his heart, at this time Dongdong is still eating, and his father-in-law, who needs to wash the dishes, sees Dongdong's slow appearance, and also said angrily: "You look like this, shouting at you to eat, you insist on eating cold, you kind of guy, throw it into the river." ”
Dongdong was educated by his mother today, and now he is still intimidated by his grandfather, Dongdong is crying again, Xiaoyu knows that after Dongdong comes home from vacation, he is originally a mythical beast that is hated by thousands of people, and sometimes it is also a punching bag for adults, Xiaoyu does not plan to intervene.
Mother-in-law scolded back: "You are embarrassed to say, the elders don't look like elders, Dongdong didn't learn from you like this, your own baby, you have to praise more, not scold more, you know?" ”
Just at this time, Weizi received the task of the leader again, walked in and said to Xiaoyu: "I am going back to the unit now to write a material." ”
Xiaoyu is also a person who goes to work, and knows that sometimes in the middle of the night to lead a task, and subordinates have to go, Xiaoyu said: "Hmm. ”
Weizi left, and he didn't come back at nine o'clock, Xiaoyu packed up for Xixi, and was ready to go to bed, when she heard her mother-in-law outside asking: "Dongdong, your father is probably coming back very late, do you sleep with us, or sleep with your mother?" ”
Dongdong looked at the cartoon and said, "I don't sleep, I'll wait for my dad." ”
Mother-in-law and father-in-law had to go to bed, it was already half past nine, Xiaoyu walked to the living room in a nightgown, turned off the TV, and said, "Let's go, go to sleep." ”
Dongdong was afraid of Xiaoyu, obediently washed his feet and undressed and went to sleep, in view of Dongdong's glorious deeds, Xiaoyu did not dare to let Xixi sleep in the middle, Xiaoyu slept in the middle by himself. Dongdong was beaten by Xiaoyu today, and he was a little cautious when he slept at night, and he was about to get out of bed when he was away from Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu said: "Sleep lately, don't catch a cold." ”
Xiaoyu covered the quilt tighter for Dongdong, Dongdong felt Xiaoyu's care, and knew that his mother still loved him, so he moved over, hugged Xiaoyu's shoulder and slept on Xiaoyu's shoulder, on the other side Xiaoyu held Xixi in his arms, and the mother and son slowly fell asleep.
After a long time, the sound of opening the door sounded, Weizi came back, quietly walked in to see the three people who were sleeping peacefully, originally intended to go back to the room, Xiaoyu turned on the nursing lamp, and said: "Take Dongdong over, I can't turn over now, it's very hot and uncomfortable." ”
Weizi hugged Dongdong over, Xiaoyu could finally sleep peacefully, and what she thought was the end of a bad day. But the bad thing is not over, Xiaoyu has insomnia again. The cause of insomnia is a little bit postpartum depression, thinking of the cost of having two children, the pressure, and the financial pressure, and the fact that she has been revolving around the two children for nearly ten years, Xiaoyu can't sleep anymore, and she didn't fall asleep until one o'clock in the evening.
I woke up late the next day, and it was only nine o'clock when Xiaoyu looked at her phone, I don't know if it was out of guilt? When Xiaoyu just woke up, her father-in-law said, "I went out this morning to buy green bean vegetarian buns, and I also bought them for you and Dongdong, and they were warm in the pot." ”
Xiao Yu was quite moved and said, "Well, thank you, Dad." ”
Xiaoyu has been married to Weizi for many years, and although she is not related by blood to her in-laws, she is already a relative. After Xiaoyu lost her temper last night, her in-laws came back at six o'clock in the evening to help Xiaoyu take care of the children, and Xiaoyu was busy with dinner in the kitchen. Tonight, Xiaoyu bought hand-rolled lasatin, and there was crucian carp and tofu soup boiling in the pot. Xiaoyu cleaned the small rape, broke it from the middle, chopped the bacon into dices, and then chopped the ginger and garlic, green onion stalks and bean paste, put a little sesame oil in the pot, put the diced bacon down and fry, when the bacon was almost oily, Xiaoyu put down the ginger, garlic and bean paste, and the pot was immediately fragrant, and the in-laws smelled it in the living room.
Xiaoyu boils water, first blanches the rape, and then below, after the noodles are cooked, put chopped green onions in each bowl, drizzle with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, a bowl of bacon noodles for one person, and a bowl of crucian carp soup.
The mother-in-law took a bite of the noodles, drank a bowl of soup, and couldn't help but praise: "This noodle is very well seasoned, much better than the noodles we ate in the noodle restaurant last time." ”
Even Weizi, who has always been insensitive to noodles, also took a big bite of it, Dongdong used children's chopsticks to hold the noodles, and he also ate them in one go, drinking crucian carp soup and asking, "Mom, I still want to eat this dumpling skin." ”
Xiaoyu had no choice but to give Dongdong the lasanine in her bowl to eat. Xiaoyu said a little narcissistically: "Dongdong, it seems that your mother has good cooking skills, even if she doesn't go to work, she can be a gold medal nanny, but it's really not good, you can also open a noodle restaurant." ”
Dongdong nodded: "Mom, I still have to eat this dumpling skin tomorrow night." ”
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow night, my mother can also make bacon lasaguine." ”
At night, Xiaoyu was lying on the bed, Xixi had fallen asleep, Weizi sat on a chair and played with her mobile phone, Xiaoyu said: "I found that as I get older, I have a few more moles on my face, do you say I want to remove them?" ”
Weizi looked up carefully and said, "It's not particularly obvious, it's not necessary." "Yes, there are a few more moles on Xiaoyu's face now, which really doesn't have much impact on Weizi, it's been too long between husband and wife, and appearance is really not that important.
Xiaoyu stood up, pulled Weizi's face, and said, "Hey, your face used to be white and flawless, but now you have two moles?" ”
Weizi said: "It's okay, it's very small, it's normal to get older." ”
Xiaoyu thought the same thing, and then the matter of removing the mole was put down.
Weizi said, "I ordered it for you." ”
Xiaoyu didn't understand: "What to order?" ”
Weizi said, "It's the car." ”
Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that when she went shopping with Dongxi this afternoon, Dongdong pointed to a car and said, "Mom, Dad is looking at the car every night and said that he will buy you such a car." ”
Xiao Yu thinks about it now, it turns out that Weizi is not joking, Xiao Yu almost forgot about it. Weizi is a person, although he is not romantic, he often forgets his wife's birthday, and he doesn't send flowers or sweet words, but he is still quite realistic, and he buys a car when he says he buys a car.
Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, but it's best to pick up the car after the year." ”
Weizi asked, "Why?" ”
Xiaoyu: "There are many cars going home for the New Year now, and there are often car accidents from time to time, I haven't driven for several years, so let's wait." ”
Weizi nodded and said, "After the Chinese New Year, the car is back, and I will accompany you to practice driving." ”
Xiaoyu nodded. But since buying a car that is completely her own, Xiaoyu feels that it is still convenient to take a taxi. After buying a car, even if you don't buy a parking space, you at least want to rent a car space, insurance needs to be bought, and it's troublesome to wash the car every month, so troublesome. The most important thing is that your skills are too poor, and you must be cautious when driving, otherwise you will encounter any luxury car, although you have insurance, it will be too troublesome to scratch. It's still too troublesome to have a car, but it's better to have an electric car. Xiao Yu thought so.
A few days later, one ordinary morning, when Xiaoyu was worrying about what to eat this morning, her mother-in-law said, "Xiaoyu, your father bought the green bean vegetarian buns you like to eat, put them in the pot, and you can get up and eat them by yourself in a while." ”
Xiaoyu was very moved, such a mother-in-law is really good, after saying that, the in-laws went out to buy vegetables, take a look at today's calendar, Xiaoyu transferred thousands of yuan to her father-in-law, just at this time Dongdong ran over, Xiaoyu hugged Dongdong and said: "Come, use my mother's WeChat, I wish your grandfather a happy birthday." ”
Dongdong said very obediently in his voice: "Grandpa, I wish you a happy birthday and a long life." ”
Xiaoyu looked at Dongdong and said, "You kid is very smart, my mother has dressed my sister, you hurry up and get dressed, and we will eat in a while." ”
Not long after, my mother-in-law came back, in a good mood, and said to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you can get shrimp lines faster, I don't know how to do it, you can get it." ”
Xiao Yu nodded, and began to reduce the shrimp head by the way, pulling the shrimp line, Xiao Yu said: "Actually, I don't know this, I learned it all from short videos." This one is also very simple. ”
Xiaoyu showed her mother-in-law, who was processing abalone, and her mother-in-law suddenly said, "Your father wanted to eat the contents of the water today, so I bought these." ”
Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes." ”
The mother-in-law thought that Xiaoyu didn't know to remind: "Today is your father's birthday." ”
Xiaoyu turned her head and said, "Well, I know." I've already transferred a big red envelope to my dad, but my dad hasn't received it yet. Didn't Weizi and her sister react? ”
The mother-in-law said with some disappointment: "I was talking to your sister on the phone yesterday, and she didn't seem to be impressed." ”
Xiaoyu: "Weizi is a workaholic, he doesn't seem to remember." "Anyway, he often forgets my birthday and always compensates for the birthday gift afterwards. Most of the change in the father-in-law's WeChat comes from Xiaoyu's filial piety money on Father's Day, birthday and New Year's Day.
