Xiaohuzi turned around and ran out, and quickly grabbed an iron kettle and came in.

"Mom, drink water! There was leftover water for my dad and me. ”

Chen Xingling took it and couldn't help asking, "What about grandma and little aunt?" ”

Xiaohuzi replied, "They all went back to their rooms." ”

Chen Xingling secretly sneered.

She came back from an injury, it was almost nine o'clock and she hadn't eaten dinner, usually she had to be responsible for breakfast and dinner to keep them full, but now that she was injured, she didn't even ask her if she was hungry!

She patted her son's fleshy little shoulder and asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”

Xiaohuzi nodded: "When Dad brought me back, I found that Mom and Aunt didn't come back to cook." Both grandma and auntie said they were hungry. Dad gave them meal tickets and went out to find Mom. Grandma took me to eat in the cafeteria, and I was full. ”

"That's good." Chen Xingling drank several sips of water in one go, said "ah" cheerfully, and then stood up on the edge of the table.

Xiaohuzi was very nervous and asked, "Mom, what are you going to do?" Is your leg still sore? ”

"It doesn't hurt that much." Chen Xingling limped to the kitchen and explained: "Mom went to make some noodles to eat, and she was hungry." ”

Xiaohuzi followed suit, worried that she would fall, and deliberately leaned on her thighs.

Chen Xingling looked at his son's cute and considerate appearance, and was secretly relieved.

Since coming to Gu Qi's side, Xiaohuzi has learned a lot from his father. I have to say that in terms of educating children, the gap between her and Archie is far more than 108,000 miles.

Gu Qi can not only take him to learn all kinds of strange math problems, learn all kinds of strokes and splicing words, and learn to be filial and considerate to her.

Archie taught her by example, was considerate to her, and instilled in her son from time to time that her mother was very hard and she had to be more considerate of her mother.

Xiaohuzi has made rapid progress in the past half a year, and he is not so dependent on her, and he is much more considerate and sensible.

Thinking of this, Chen Xingling couldn't help but be glad that he had made the most correct choice.

Little Tiger stood on tiptoe and looked at the empty stove in embarrassment.

"Mom, I don't think there's anything to eat."

Chen Xingling chuckled, opened the cabinet above, and took out four pieces of instant noodles.

Then, she boiled the water.

Mother-in-law and sister-in-law are always reluctant to be idle every day, and they will never let go of anything that can be eaten at home.

Something like a cookie or a biscuit, as soon as you turn around, it's gone.

Although she has a huge space in the supermarket, she can't bear their seafood style, so she can only take some out from time to time.

Instant noodles are dry noodles, they think they have to cook to eat, and they love to be lazy, they hate that it is too troublesome to cook things, wash dishes and pots, so instant noodles survive.

Xiaohuzi couldn't help but remind: "Mom, Dad, he didn't eat either." Otherwise, you can cook more and save it for Dad. ”

"Don't worry, he has his share." Chen Xingling poured hot water out of the kettle, tore off the wings and head of the big squid, and still soaked it.

She then washes and shreds the green onions.

Xiaohuzi looked around the big window and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Mom! Look at! Daddy is back! ”

Chen Xingling probed down and found that there was black and linen everywhere.

"Where? Nope! ”

Little Tiger jumped off the small stool and ran out with a smoke.

"It's Daddy! That man must be Dad! ”

Seeing him running away, Chen Xingling took the opportunity to enter the supermarket space and took out a bag of vacuum-packed fish balls, quickly cut open the bag and threw it away, cut the chilled fish balls in half, and threw them into the pot one by one to cook.

At this time, Gu Qi came back with his son.

His forehead was a little sweaty, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Xing'er, Yin Mo said that you hurt your foot—what's wrong?"

Chen Xingling smiled helplessly and told him the whole story.

"Dali doesn't know how to ride a bike, so he can only push me back. I was delayed for a lot of time, and I didn't get home until about eight o'clock. ”

Gu Qi stared at her feet and said anxiously, "Don't stand still, sit down." Fortunately, Dali went to the vigil, otherwise you would definitely be hurt and injured if you limped back. ”

Chen Xingling said: "Wait for the water to boil, and you will be able to eat it soon." Are you hungry? ”

"Don't worry." Gu Qi grabbed her arm, dragged her out, helped her sit on the sofa in the living room, and carefully checked her ankles.

"It looks a little swollen, and I can't move around too much for the time being. Later, I will use hot water to help you warm the compress, and then massage it to promote blood and qi circulation, and you should be able to get better soon. ”

"Hmm." Chen Xingling's heart was sweet and asked, "Are you tired too?" Fast! Pour water and drink! ”

Gu Qi saw that her ankles were fine, so he turned around and went to wash his hands and pour water.

"You sit, I'll go to the kitchen and make food."

Chen Xingling reminded: "When the water is boiling, throw the noodles down, and then throw the squid shreds into it as well." By the way, remember to get some peanut oil - forget it, I'll go for it. ”

Gu Qi saw her limping to the kitchen, and hurriedly chased after her.

Xiaohuzi was playing with squid shreds, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, where are you looking for your mother?" Didn't you say Mom wasn't over there in the new house? ”

"It's Dad's carelessness." Gu Qi smiled bitterly: "When I looked for it, the garden was dark, the gate was locked, I shouted twice, but no one answered, so I thought my mother was not there." ”

Chen Xingling asked funny: "Should you still go to my mother's house?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi explained with a slight embarrassment: "I went to the garden and found that you were not there, so I went home first, but found that you hadn't come back yet." I thought about how you were never a disproportionate person, how could you not go home when it was dark. I was always worried that something might have happened to you, so I looked for it nearby, but I still couldn't find it after dark. I went home again, and you still haven't come back. I wonder if you're going to ride your bike back to your parents' house and get caught in heavy rain on the way back. It's not good to sit still, so I hurriedly went to the logistics office to borrow a car and drove all the way to Huiqiao Village. ”

Chen Xingling: "......"

Little Tiger "Wow! exclaimed, "Dad has gone so far!" ”

Gu Qi glanced at his son and explained: "I didn't see you on the road, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were already full at the door to enjoy the coolness, I asked them, and they were surprised that you didn't go back." The eldest brother and the second brother said that you should be in the garden, and said that the bed and some furniture ordered in the evening would have to be shipped over, most likely because the waiting time was too long. I drove back, drove the bike back to the back office, and went downstairs to find your bike already in the stairwell. ”

Chen Xingling whispered apologetically: "It's all my fault...... Accidentally oversleeping. ”

Gu Qi didn't blame her at all, but felt guilty.

"If I can help, why don't you be so tired that you oversleep and don't have to hurt your feet."

At this moment, seeing that she didn't dare to touch the ground with one foot, and had to cook dinner by herself, she was secretly angry and distressed.

The old mother didn't go out to help find her when she didn't come back, and she didn't help cook something for her when she was hurt—it was so ruthless!

Respect and love are mutual, she is not good to her daughter-in-law, how can she expect her daughter-in-law to be considerate and filial to her!

He had to go to work to earn money so that he could be free at night. If it weren't for him, a man, who couldn't help him, why would he make it so hard for her to be a woman!

Chen Xingling chuckled: "No wonder you, I don't blame you." This family is not yours alone, you can't be counted on for everything, so you won't be miserable? Only by working together can we make rapid progress. ”

She never thought of being a housewife and relying on him to support her, even if he was willing to support her, she would not blame herself, but she still didn't want to.

There were enough people in this family who were dragging him down, and she didn't want to be a burden to him.

She didn't know if others felt sorry for him, but she definitely felt sorry for him.

In this era of material scarcity and an average salary of only more than 40 yuan, if it weren't for his high salary, this family would only be half-hungry.

Despite this, she still had to find a way to earn more, and she was reluctant to let him bear everything alone.

People, if you hurt others, others will naturally hurt you. The mother-in-law doesn't care about her at all, she doesn't care at all, and she naturally doesn't need to be so filial to her!

Although people's hearts are unpredictable, they can only be exchanged for people's hearts when they are returned, and nothing else can be exchanged.

Her own husband, how can she be reluctant not to hurt!

Gu Qi smiled slightly, and stepped forward to support her waist.

"Okay, let's work together. I'll help you, and you cook noodles. ”
