Chapter 5
Five
Wei Qingfeng, Wei Daping's father and son live in three rooms, the middle door opens, and the house is the "outhouse" of the two families, with a pot on each side, the east house is a big pot with ten seals, and the west house is a small pot with six seals. The east and west doors of the outhouse are opened, and the east door is opened to enter the east house...... Then they each entered the house, and when they closed the door, they were two families.
There was a yard in front of the house, and there were a few growing apricot trees. In front of the courtyard, there is a row of living houses.
"Mom, when my daughter-in-law goes to work, the child has to be in this house." Wei Daping came out of the house, through the outhouse, to his parents' house. The mother didn't say anything, but the father said, "Come on, it just so happens that we still have a 'yoche' at home." ”
Today is the day Sang Zixin goes to work. Although she was very thin, she was still full of energy in her tax uniform. However, she should have been happy when she has always loved life and worked hard, but she couldn't lift her spirits.
Sang Zixin and Wei Daping finished breakfast, cleaned up the table, wrapped Wei Wei, and carried him to his grandfather and grandmother's house. After entering the house, Sang Zixin carefully put her son on the car on the kang. Before he could stabilize himself, Wei Wei cried loudly, and he didn't coax him for a long time. She had no choice but to pick up the child, and after a while, put him on the kang again. Wei Wei lay on the kang and didn't cry. "This kid is a little dizzy." Wei Daping said: "Father, Mom, when Xiaoxin goes home for dinner at noon, she feeds the child once. In the morning, the family should feed Wei Wei once and once in the afternoon. Feed so much at a time," Wei Daping's hand gestured on the bottle, "It can't be hot, just be warm." After speaking, Wei Daping put the milk powder and bottle in his hand on the cabinet.
He knew that his father was a careful person, and he could do a good job without saying anything. "Got it, you guys go to work." Father readily agreed.
Seeing his grandson for the first time, Wei Qingfeng was very happy, and he carefully looked at his grandson's appearance. "The older this kid gets, the more handsome he gets." After speaking, he hurriedly brought a towel and stood in front of his head, lest the wind invade the fontanelle. And the grandmother just looked at the grandson and did not come closer. In the face of such an occasion, the mother will never sell her personal favors. No matter how good the daughter-in-law behaved, how good she was to her, and how much affection she loved her son, she was indifferent. Only her son's words, she obeyed her words, and the words of "outsiders" couldn't move her.
And Sang Zixin, who was in a hurry to rush to the unit, was not in a relaxed mood, "mother-in-law ...... who doesn't care much about children" thought so, and when she and Wei Daping walked separately, she still sped up her pace.
Hurry up, on the first day of work, Sang Zixin was finally not late. Colleagues in the unit congratulated her on going to work on the full moon and wished her a happy son. Sang Zixin happily greeted her colleagues. During the work, an enthusiastic female colleague came to ask her about the time of milk delivery, and another female colleague came over...... On the first day she left her child, she felt that time was passing too slowly. After getting off work at noon, she hurried home, and when she entered the house, her son fell asleep.
"This kid has been making trouble all morning." The mother-in-law said as she entered the house.
"He's still sleeping, you can eat a meal to stop." The father-in-law said.
Sang Zixin took off her shirt, washed her hands, and brought the food to the table. At this time, Wei Daping also returned. When Sang Zixin saw her husband, her heart was much more stable, otherwise, she didn't know how to be good. At her in-law's house, Sang Zixin doesn't talk much, only when her husband is there, she should say it...... In this case, she is not good in front of her mother-in-law.
When Wei Wei woke up, she had finally finished eating. But she felt that the meal was like a robbery, and her stomach was very uncomfortable. She sits on the kang with her back to breastfeed her baby. Wei Wei woke up and looked at his mother with wide eyes, he looked at it, and cried with his little mouth. Sang Zixin knew that her son hadn't seen her all morning, "My son was wronged." She thought. Wei Wei was happy after eating, and her milk was just enough to feed her son.
"Enough to eat, right?" The mother-in-law asked with concern.
"If you are full, if you eat by the plate, you will not be full." Sang Zixin is still happy to talk to her mother-in-law.
"That's fine," Wei Daping said, "once in the morning and once in the afternoon." ”
"How do you know that children are used to eating milk and don't like milk powder." Mother-in-law said.
"Mom, how was this meal in the morning?" Sang Zixin asked.
"Okay."
Sang Zixin put the child down, quickly cleaned up the table, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and when she finished all this work, it was time to go to work. She really wanted to stay with her son a little longer, but her mother-in-law said, "You love children so much, what do we think of it?" ”
Sang Zixin and Wei Daping took advantage of the fact that the child was not crying or making trouble, and turned around and walked out of the house.
When she came back from work in the evening, Sang Zixin entered the courtyard, opened the door, and heard her son's crying, she walked a few steps and entered the house, her father-in-law was shaking the car, but Wei Wei was still not coaxing. When she came closer, before she could hug him, Wei Wei immediately stopped crying. She picked up her son, and Wei Wei just looked at her mother, as if to say. "Mom, where have you been? Why don't you leave me alone? Sang Zixin held the child and wanted to go back to her house, but she still sat down and breastfed the child. She put the well-fed child down. At this time, Wei Qingfeng handed a white thread and money to his wife. The mother-in-law took it and hung it around her grandson's neck. “…… When to hang up, when to be good. The father-in-law said happily.
In this situation, Sang Zixin felt warm in the house, and her heart was warm.
Wei Daping entered the house, and they happily carried the child back to the house. She asked Wei Daping to watch the child and come out to cook by herself.
She told her father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over for dinner in the evening. So, Sang Zixin quickly brought peanuts, scrambled eggs, fried shredded potatoes, and salted duck eggs to the table.
Wei Qingfeng didn't start drinking until he was about fifty. When he drank, he had to have peanuts and salted duck eggs, and he had to eat one or two bites. If it weren't for these two dishes, he would only have "chopsticks". Because it was a full moon and the day when his daughter-in-law went to work, Wei Daping also accompanied his father to drink. After eating, Sang Zixin looked at the two old men, and she also felt very relaxed. When leaving, my father-in-law said, "The child is not making trouble, so let's rest early." ”
In January 50, Wei Qingfeng, who was in his early twenties, entered a state-owned factory. After work, go to night school to learn literacy and culture. It was here that he met his lifelong partner (married in five or three years). They had three sons and daughters in 10 years. However, during this period of time, Wei Qingfeng became a fully skilled repairman in the factory through his own efforts. Later, Wei Qingfeng became the director of the repair workshop. As a result, in his schedule, there are no festivals, holidays, or days. A family of eight, relying on the hard work of Wei Qingfeng and his wife, the children have all started a family.
Sang Zixin's mother-in-law is not the kind of neat housewife, and she is always good at finding fault with others. Especially the daughter-in-law, she didn't pay attention, let her catch the words, and didn't show mercy to the daughters-in-law. She treats her daughter-in-law as an outsider, talks and does things, and argues with her son everywhere. For the next generation, he is not as enthusiastic as his father-in-law. And the mother-in-law takes good care of her aunt, foreign men and women, and protects them everywhere. At least don't let their sons and girls talk about them. No matter if that son has a slight complaint about foreign men and foreign women, she always scolds with a nose that is not a nose and a face that is not a face. Even if her father-in-law said that these children, she would also quarrel with her father-in-law. As for Sun Nan's brother and daughter, he is not so enthusiastic. And my father-in-law is so enthusiastic about the next generation, especially his grandson and granddaughter. Wei Qingfeng is not good at words, and his mind is all in action. He knew that his grandson was watched by them, so he found the yo-yo car that he hadn't used for many years. Outside to clean and wipe clean, and take out the "straw bag" and put it in the sun to dry.
When they carried the children to the mother-in-law's house, the car was waiting on the kang. Sang Zixin was very curious to put Wei Wei on it, and he immediately cried, no matter how hard he coaxed him, no matter how he shook it, it didn't work. Sang Zixin had no choice but to pick him up. "My son is obedient, and my mother goes to work." He also said, "Grandpa and grandma like you very much and love you very much." After a while, he put Wei Wei on the car again, although he didn't cry, he still held his mouth, and the couple took the opportunity to go out of the house.
Sang Zixin and Wei Daping walked on the way to work, "Don't blame yourself too much, every family is like this, everyone has to work." Wei Daping saw his daughter-in-law's preoccupied look and said.
Sang Zixin listened to her husband's words and said with a smile, "No, when the child cries, I don't know what it feels like." ”
"People say that crying is a process of exercise and growth, and it is a good thing." Wei Daping said.
"I know, but if you cry too hard, it will backfire." Sang Zixin still said her worries.
"Yes." Wei Daping said with certainty.
They came to the fork in the road to the unit.
"Let's go to work, time is tight, speed up." Sang Zixin optimistically instructed her husband.
