Chapter Seventy-Nine: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Contradictions
One night in the middle of the night, Peng Jiahui went to the bathroom to urinate.
As soon as she opened the door, she was so frightened that she let out an "ah", it turned out that Mother He was also inside and had not turned on the lights yet.
"Mom--- why don't you turn on the lights? Scared me. ”
"Pee, what kind of lights are on, waste electricity." Mother He was also a little embarrassed.
He Hansheng also got up.
"What's going on, it's the middle of the night."
"Look at Mom, I don't turn on the light when I go to the bathroom, it scares me."
"Mom, why don't you turn on the lights? It was dark at night. ”
"Okay, I'll turn on the lights later."
"Alright, alright. Let's all sleep. ”
Everyone went to their own rooms and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, after such a toss, everyone has no sleepiness.
At dawn, He Hansheng and Peng Jiahui got up, and He's mother also got up.
Peng Jiahui recently discovered that every morning when her mother-in-law's room was opened, there would always be a strange smell wafting from inside. I don't know if it's because my mother-in-law doesn't change her clothes or some other reason, she can't stand it a little.
"Why does the damn room always smell weird!" She whispered to He Hansheng.
"Well, yes, I smell it too."
"Mom doesn't take a bath often, and she doesn't change her clothes often."
"I don't know."
"You tell your mother that you should change your clothes frequently, it smells really bad."
"Good. Wait until I tell my mom. ”
I couldn't sleep well at night, and the house was full of strange smells early in the morning, and Peng Jiahui had no appetite at all. Because she was going to catch the bus, she went downstairs first.
Mother He came to the living room.
"Mom, you change your clothes frequently, and you can take a shower when Jiejie sleeps at noon. Lately, you've been smelling in the house. ”
"Well, good. Recently I had hemorrhoids, and I applied some medicine, which may have smelled of medicine. ”
"It doesn't matter."
"It's okay, pay attention to your usual meals, don't eat spicy, just smear some medicine."
"Don't you have to go to the hospital?"
"No, I don't."
"Mom, then I'm going to work."
"Well, go ahead."
After getting off work in the afternoon, Peng Jiahui went home first.
She went to the bathroom and found that the urine in the toilet was not flushed, and there was a smell of urine throughout the bathroom.
"Mom---, why don't you flush the toilet, you smell it."
"Rinse and pee, what a waste of water. I want to save up and rush together. ”
"Mom, don't hurt that little bit of water."
"yes, okay."
At this time, He Hansheng also returned.
Mother He has already cooked the meal.
Everyone came back, and everyone began to eat.
Jie Jie couldn't sit still, he walked on the coffee table between Mother He and Peng Jiahui.
Mother He ate a piece of meat, and because she was reluctant to eat it, she spit it out and bit it into small pieces to prepare for Jiejie to eat.
"Mom--, you have a taste and bacteria in your mouth, don't give the meat in your mouth to Jiejie again." Peng Jiahui immediately stopped and said.
"It doesn't matter, you didn't all feed adults like this when you were kids."
"Unhygienic." Peng Jiahui used chopsticks to beat the diced meat in He's mother's hand onto the coffee table.
Mother He picked it up and ate it herself, blushing but still smiling awkwardly.
He Hansheng knows that his mother's teeth are often inflamed, and there may be a taste in her mouth, but it is not as serious as Peng Jiahui said, and it is normal for a grandmother to feed her grandson some meat.
"It doesn't matter, we didn't feed it like this when we were kids."
"That's you, I'm not that disgusting." Peng Jiahui looked angry.
She was busy and tired after a day of work, and when she came home, she couldn't get used to many of her mother-in-law's practices, twenty-four hours a day, she felt that there was not a second that really belonged to her, and there was no second that was at ease, so she was very depressed and more likely to get angry.
"This dish is too bland, how can you eat it? Mom, can you put more salt or chili pepper when stir-frying in the future? ”
Peng Jiahui went to the kitchen to get a bottle of chili powder and poured it into shredded potatoes.
Mother He is sick now, and she can't eat spicy food. She drank a bowl of millet porridge and went back to the bedroom.
Young people like to focus on taste, while older people like to eat lighter points, both have their own advantages, and there is no problem, but it is difficult to make young and old people eat in the same pot.
He Hansheng looked at his mother's embarrassed appearance, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Jiahui, Mom watched Jiejie for a day, and she also helped us cook, which is also very hard, why do you say that Mom."
"Isn't it hard for me to work? Am I wrong? You say Mom, you don't turn on the lights when you go to the bathroom at night, you don't flush the toilet after peeing during the day, and you don't change your slippers every time you come back from outside. I have to wipe the floor every day, am I easy? ”
Peng Jiahui cried as she spoke.
"Mom has hemorrhoids these days, I'm not feeling well, I can't eat spicy food, you pour chili powder here, how can Mom eat it?"
"This weird smell at home all day long, what kind of food are you eating."
Peng Jiahui put down the dishes and chopsticks and stopped eating.
Actually, Peng Jiahui is right. She grew up in the city and likes to be clean. And He's mother has been living in the countryside, diligent and thrifty, and her family is not as particular as living in a building, so she can't change it for a while if she wants to live like a city person all of a sudden.
A good meal, just like that, it broke up unhappily.
It is even more difficult for He Hansheng to be caught in the middle. With his mother on one side and his wife on the other, he tried his best to reconcile the two of them.
He Hansheng went to his mother's room, and He's mother cried.
"Mom, Jiahui doesn't mean anything else, don't worry."
"Well, it's fine."
He Hansheng also understands his mother, and it is not customary for his mother to live with their young people, but what can be done?
He Hansheng comforted his mother for a while and went back to the living room.
Peng Jiahui was also angry.
"Still angry?"
"I don't want my mother to see Jiejie anymore, so I send Jiejie to kindergarten."
"Jiejie is so young, it's not convenient to go to kindergarten. Besides, you can't learn anything, isn't it a waste of money? ”
"I can't stand it anymore."
"How can it be so serious, there are not many people living with their mother-in-law."
"I'm not used to it."
"Otherwise, don't you have a single and double break, every time you have a double break, let your mother go back to her hometown, so that you can take Jiejie alone. Wait until Sunday night and ask Mom to come. Wouldn't it be nice for Mom to help us watch the kids, cook, and do housework? ”
Peng Jiahui thought that her family was not rich recently, and it was also a problem for Jie Jie to go to kindergarten to pick up and drop off, so she agreed with He Hansheng's statement, but she felt like a piece of lead in her heart, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
This weekend, Peng Jiahui has two days off.
He Hansheng told his mother to go back to his hometown in the past two days and come back on Sunday night.
Mother He also agreed. She also lives cautiously every day, for fear that her daughter-in-law will dislike her daughter-in-law if she doesn't do something well. If it weren't for her son's sake, she wouldn't have suffered these grievances here in a low voice. She still wants to go back to the countryside to live, and she is free and free in her hometown, without so many constraints.
