In the shed outside Songjiang City, Qiu Niang finished her work and went home, and her eldest daughter Zhu'er was playing with her youngest son Xiaobao, and the two were playing with a set of wooden puzzles, and they were happy.

"Mother is back." Zhu'er first heard the sound and raised her head, and greeted her happily, "Mother, I have already cooked the rice and washed the dishes." ”

"Didn't you say you'd wait for my mother to come back? All you have to do is play. Qiu Niang touched her hair, twelve-year-old Xiao Nan, who was in anyone's house and was naïve to know the age to do things, only her daughter, who was scolded by her grandmother for only a while without doing anything, trembled, the so-called living little lady in her eyes.

"Mother." Xiaobao also pounced and hugged her thighs. Xiaobao is eight years old this year, and he has a tiger head. Fortunately, Qiu Niang has already taken precautions, so as not to let her son be taught by her mother-in-law to be as incompetent and loser as his father, she developed the habit that her son must sleep with him, and learned the bad problems from her mother-in-law during the day, and broke him little by little when she slept at night, as long as her son is close to her, he is a bastard, and it is also within the controllable range.

"Xiaobao also helped choose vegetables today." Zhu'er invited credit for her younger brother and said that she hated her brother before, why did her brother not have to do anything, he could eat and dress well, and when he cried, she was unlucky, but during Grandma's absence, her brother stuck to her all day long, and she felt that her brother was not so annoying.

"Xiaobao is really good, I can help my sister." Qiu Niang said, "Then today's sugar gourd will be chosen by Xiaobao first." She took out two sugar gourds from her sleeves, her mother-in-law was not at home, and she was just using her method to raise her children, how could her own children become enemies?

Xiaobao hasn't eaten sugar gourd for a long time, he licked his saliva and picked one that looked big, and the remaining one was given to Zhu'er, which was impossible before, only his share of the delicious and fun at home, and never gave it to others, Zhu'er was also very happy with the sugar gourd, if it was put aside, where could she have a sugar gourd to eat, only to see.

Even if she was very greedy, Zhu'er still stretched out the sugar gourd in front of Qiu Niang first, "Mother eats first." ”

"Mother doesn't eat, you eat." Qiu Niang said that Zhu'er is really a kind-hearted girl, the more sensible she is, the more Qiu Niang hates in her heart, hates her mother-in-law's cruelty, her mother-in-law has been out for a long time this time, she secretly hopes that her mother-in-law will never come back.

Xiaobao saw her sister's behavior, and also raised the sugar gourd for Qiu Niang to eat, Qiu Niang ate one on a string, and said with a smile, "You can play by yourself, my mother will cook, and you will be able to eat it immediately." ”

Xiaobao shook his head when he ate the sugar gourd, Zhu'er cherished two of them, and the remaining two were not eaten, wrapped in oiled paper and put them on the cupboard, and one more for Xiaobao tomorrow.

Zou Dabao rarely came back drunk, and he was still carrying a fish in his hand, "Qiu Niang, look what I brought back." ”

"Mother, Dad brought a big fish back." Zhu'er said loudly, and Xiaobao circled around the fish. "Eat fish, eat big fish."

Qiu Niang came out and saw that his trousers were wet, "You went to the river to get it?" ”

"You're going to get cold on such a cold day, and the money spent on medicine can't be worth the fish money." Although Qiu Niang said so, she quickly found clean pants for him, urged him to change them, and then went to the stove to burn the fire and roast the cold.

"The kids are hungry." Zou Dabao said, "I think I still have some talent, and I caught fish the first time I learned other people's methods." He sniffed, he was a useless person, afraid of cold, afraid of heat, afraid of tiredness and squeamishness, his mother at home prepared everything for him, he didn't care about everything.

The mother has something to do, there is a daughter-in-law at home, he just eats, drinks and has fun, in the past, when he went home, his mother was always chattering and swearing, and his daughter-in-law was always happy when her face was calm, he was not willing to stay at home, her mother was not at home, as soon as he came home, he found that no one was chattering, although Qiu Niang still did not have a good face for him, she was smiling at her daughter and son.

There is no difference in the meals at home, they are all treated equally, the pickles and gnocchi eaten are accompanied by rice porridge, and there is always a plate of meat dishes in front of him when his mother is at home.

Zou Dabao dared to throw chopsticks in front of his mother to pick vegetables, not daring in front of Qiu Niang, so a few days, Zou Dabao actually went to work seriously for two days, and came back to Qiu Niang after paying some wages, Qiu Niang took the money and had a smile on him, and scrambled a bowl of eggs at night, Zou Dabao thought about Qiu Niang's smile and was itchy, and then he was serious like a man who raised his family, went out to earn money, and tried every means to give the family some good things.

A pot of fish soup at night, the family was very satisfied, Zhu'er took Xiaobao to sleep, Zou Dabao stuck to Qiu Niang, hugged his waist and wanted to move his hands and feet.

Qiu Niang opened his hand, turned around and said, "My mind hasn't changed, I can't guarantee that I can give birth to a son if I am pregnant." ”

"If you can't protect your daughter, don't touch me."

Qiu Niang worked hard to give birth to the child, only to hear a cry and didn't even see the face, the mother-in-law said that the child died, and she didn't even show her the last side, and the two children were like this until she gave birth to Xiaobao, and the mother-in-law happily said that the Zou family had a future, and Qiu Niang also wanted to understand that as long as she gave birth to a daughter, even if she gave birth to more, there was only a dead end when she was born.

Qiu Niang has been cold since then, and since Xiaobao was born, she has never let Zou Dabao get close.

Zou Dabao was stunned when he heard this, and said that the two were accidents.

"I had an accident when I gave birth to a daughter? It's not one, it's two, Zou Dabao, you think I'm stupid. Qiu Niang said, "I have only been stupid once in my life, that is, I will believe you and become your lady, and then I will not be stupid." "When she was young and frivolous, she met a man who said he loved her, and she believed it.

As a result, the man was naïve and incompetent, and there was a powerful mother at home, she didn't want anything to marry, but she just became a mother-in-law who said that my son has the ability, you are shameless and shameless, and stick to the man.

She paid the price for her frivolity, but she couldn't bring her daughter into this world knowing that it was a dead end. She can't control others, she can always control herself.

"Zou Dabao, I have no expectations for you." Qiu Niang said, "You be your mother's good son, don't bother me with the rest, I will wash and sew people, and I can feed me and the children." ”

Zou Dabao was at a loss, and he didn't know how to answer her, he wanted to say that he liked her, otherwise when she married and gave birth to several daughters, her mother said that she would sell her, but he refused, and then there was Xiaobao.

But he instinctively thought that this was not a good word, and Qiu Niang would be even more angry when he said it, Qiu Niang was his wife, who married the lady to sell?

The family sits and eats together, talking and laughing, the wife is gentle, the daughter and son are cute, what a good scene, but why was there no before?

By the way, in the past, his mother took him and Xiaobao to eat together, Qiu Niang and Zhu'er ate in the kitchen, and the family never sat down to eat together during the Chinese New Year.

The mother said that her daughter always has to marry off, don't be too good to her, and said that the daughter-in-law is an outsider, and the three of us are a family.

Who is the same family with whom? Zou Dabao squatted down with his head in his hand, his mother was good to him, it must be with his family, Qiu Niang, he also wanted to be a family with her, she was his mother, how could it not be a family?

Qiu Niang saw that he was entangled, and she didn't say anything, he was raised by his mother, and he will always be his mother's good son, which is his easiest and most trouble-free choice.

"Dabao, my mother is back." A female voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Qiu Niang and Zhu'er in the house were shocked when they heard the sound, this sound was tantamount to a nightmare, she still came back.
