Chapter VIII
Eight
For Wei Wei, the family, or the person who takes care of him, will have a subtle influence on him, and this influence will accompany him for a lifetime. Whether it's personality, temperament, temperament...... There is an old saying: three years old sees old. At least that's what Sang Zixin thinks.
Since Wei Wei was born and went to work after Sang Zixin's maternity leave, he was taken by his grandmother, and now his grandmother takes him. This kind of care mode is more or less beneficial to the child's growth...... At the same time, it is also what Sang Zixin and Wei Daping are looking forward to.
However, during the years that they lived in the opposite house from their parents, they lived in harmony with their parents, without quarreling or blushing. Especially the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, whether it is a family member or a neighbor, people recognize the relationship between Sang Zixin and her mother-in-law. Although her mother-in-law's complaints and untruths had "hurt" Sang Zixin, she never kept silent, or went into the house and let her mother-in-law continue to talk about it. Sang Zixin thought, how can there be a tongue that doesn't touch the cheeks in life and life, as long as you do a good job, don't listen to those gossip. After all, the mother-in-law is an elder and a husband's mother, no different from her biological parents. Sang Zixin is not like the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and the second sister-in-law, who quarreled and quarreled with their parents, and moved after making a fuss. In the past few years that Sang Zixin has lived with her mother-in-law, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and the second sister-in-law said that they don't know how their younger brothers and sisters have come over in the past few years. "It's hard for us to be like our brother and daughter-in-law." They said with deep feelings.
When they lived together, every morning Wei Wei went from the West House to the East House, Wei Qingfeng would always get close to his grandson, and the actions of the grandfather and grandson were particularly happy. But this state of affairs did not last several years.
After Sang Zixin had the idea of buying and renting a house, her colleague said: A relative's house is idle, but she doesn't know whether to rent or sell. Sang Zixin is very grateful for the help of her colleagues, but she is still mixed with joy, and she almost has the money to buy a house. And Sang Zixin asked her colleagues to help, and there will be a letter in the next day. Today, she and her colleagues came to see the house together after finishing their work.
These are two bungalows with separate courtyards, and there is a garden in front of the house, one by one, eggplant, persimmon, pepper...... Grow on very straight, clean ridges. From the garden, you can reflect the patience and preferences of the owner. And the landlord is similar in age to Sang Zixin, with good facial features and a beautiful face. He greeted his cousin and Sang Zixin warmly, and opened the door at the same time. The room was clean, with furniture occupying one wall, next to a writing desk and two chairs, and the kang was covered with brand-new fiberboard. "Sister Hao, look, how good the light is from the window." Sang Zixin said to her colleagues. Sister Hao knew her words.
"Will you take the furniture?" Sister Hao asked her cousin bluntly.
"Don't take it." The landlord replied briskly.
"Cousin, she's my best sister, nice, easy-going and capable...... Say an accurate price. The landlord looked at the cousin who was talking and smiled.
"That's really the price?" Sang Zixin didn't believe her ears. So, she was pleasantly surprised and said to her colleagues and landlords. "That's not much worse." Sang Zixin was happy and said what was in her heart. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Hao, you talk first, and I'll be back in a while." ”
After she left, Sister Hao told her cousin about Sang Zixin's house purchase. The landlord was very practical and generous. "Almost, almost."
"Great, you can talk to her in person in a moment." Sister Hao said. At the same time, she praised her cousin for being informalistic and righteous.
Sang Zixin came back quickly, and immediately took out the money from her pocket when she entered the house, and said embarrassedly, "This is ...... You check, and the rest ......"
“…… That's all. The landlord shook the money in his hand and said cheerfully.
"That's not going to work, the house prices are low enough." Sang Zixin said eagerly. "The rest of ......"
"Don't worry, sister will put it on for you." Sister Hao took Sang Zixin's words and said.
"Sister, I don't need you." The landlord was very honest.
"Then, I'll leave you an IOU for half a year." Sang Zixin said happily.
In the most ordinary interactions, the words and deeds of the two sisters and brothers deeply moved her.
When she got home from work, Sang Zixin told her husband about buying a house. Wei Daping didn't expect it to be so fast, and he praised his daughter-in-law's ability to act resolutely. The next day off, he couldn't wait to come to his home. He likes the house with a single courtyard very much, and he tidies up inside and out very carefully. Then he watered the garden again. Before leaving, he carefully looked at the front and back, left and right, and then locked the door. When he got home, he said to his daughter-in-law, "The house is not long, and it is well protected." ”
Sang Zixin listened to her husband's praise and said confidently. "Tomorrow we can move."
"Move tomorrow." After Wei Daping finished speaking, he began to gather things. He went to the East House again and told his parents about the move. The parents were surprised, but after groaning, the father said, "It's okay to move out, and find a house?" ”
"I've bought it, I've packed it up." Wei Daping proudly reported to his parents about buying a house.
Wei Qingfeng admired the two children very much, and bought a house without using the family's money. "Where's Xiaoxu?" Wei Qingfeng still asked about his grandson's situation.
"And then we'll talk about it." Wei Daping did not answer his parents directly, because he did not know who would take care of his son now.
The mother did not speak, maybe Wei Daping could guess the mother's thoughts. Among the three daughters-in-law, Sang Zixin is the only daughter-in-law who has not quarreled with her, and the only daughter-in-law who has been with her for so many years. As a son, he understands his parents' feelings at this moment. And Sang Zixin and Wei Daping decided to buy a house in order not to let their two brothers and sisters-in-law have other ideas.
For so many years, my mother has embarrassed her daughter-in-law, although her daughter-in-law doesn't say it, and her heart is not a taste. This time it's good, I have my own house. Parents are physically strong and carefree, and as children, they are relieved. Wei Daping thought.
On the day of the move, Sang Zixin asked Wei Daping's two brothers to come over to help. They came happily, and very early. "Congratulations to my brother and sister on their housewarming."
"Rejoice, rejoice." Wei Daping also politely greeted his brother. After breakfast, I loaded the things I was going to bring to the car. Only then did people know that only the clothes and some small items of the three people were loaded into the car. Furniture, rice, noodles, oil, and a few other things were left behind. Parents let them take it, and they can use everything to get by. No matter what her parents said, Sang Zixin didn't take anything. When moving things, my mother-in-law followed suit, telling this not to forget, and that not to be left behind.
"Mom, I won't bring the rest, keep it for you." Listening to her daughter-in-law's words, her mother-in-law's eyes moistened. Before leaving, she sent her children a long way home.
I came to my new home and carried the things from the car into the house. The eldest brother and the second brother both said that the location was good, the house was good, and the price was cheap.
When the family moved over, the first thing to do was to have a stove. Sang Zixin lit the cauldron, and six eggs were boiled in the pot. Sang Zixin told the eldest brother and second brother, "You must come to the house for dinner in the evening and bring your sister-in-law and children." ”
The eldest brother and the second brother pushed and dragged it.
"If you want to come, you won't need to find the two brothers." Wei Daping said.
"This is what we have set it on, and we must come." Sang Zixin said seriously.
The two brothers had no choice but to agree. The brothers and sisters left the house and went to work.
Sang Zixin asked for leave from the unit, and she was talking to her son while tidying up the house. "Son, this is our own house, do you like it or not?"
"I like it." Wei Wei said happily.
"Do you like grandma to see you, or grandma to see you?" She asked her son again.
"Grandma." Wei Wei said.
"Then let Grandma watch you."
"Okay." Wei Wei replied happily while following his mother.
The furniture was spotlessly clean, and the kang was finished. Sang Zixin sat down and looked at her son over and over again, making sure that there was no work. She led her son to a phone booth on the street to call his mother.
Fang Hua received a call from his daughter and came immediately. Sang Zixin and her son greeted their mother at the intersection.
Fang Hua, who retired, did not agree to the hospital's re-employment. Although she is over 50 years old, she still has the beautiful and elegant temperament and charm of her youth and middle age.
Sang Zixin saw her mother from afar, Fang Hua came to her daughter and grandson, bent down to hug Wei Wei, Sang Zixin stopped her mother's kindness. "Mom, he's so old, he doesn't need to hug him." Fang Hua stood up and smiled at his daughter and grandson.
"It's so clean in the yard." Fang Hua walked into the courtyard with his daughter and grandson. "There is still a garden."
"Mom, look how good they look."
"Yes, it's quite ......."
The mother and daughter opened the door while talking. The outhouse is a pot table connected to the kang one by one, which is the inheritance of the Northeast. Pot, can be cooked, but also slipped, chopped, gurgling, stewed. And the used fire turned into fireworks, passed through the ondol, and went straight to the chimney. So wisps of green smoke rose straight into the sky. Standing on one of the walls of the room, it looks very harmonious and well-behaved. Fang Hua looked around the room and sat on the chair excitedly, Sang Zixin brought the water cup to her mother, she took it and put it on the table, and asked her daughter with concern, "Is the money enough to buy a house?" ”
Sang Zixin looked at her kind, worried mother, "That's enough, it's all done." ”
Fang Hua smiled reassuringly. Then the mother and daughter chatted for a while. "Mom, do you take Wei Wei with us, or do you send the child over?"
"You see how it goes." Fang Hua asked his daughter again.
"What's my brother's opinion?" Sang Zixin asked.
Fang Hua admired her daughter's approach very much, and before she could speak, her daughter said again: "Let's send the child over." One is: you don't have to work hard back and forth, and moreover: it is cold in winter, and it is dark to go back, which is very inconvenient. ”
"Okay, your brother agrees with them." Fang Hua said happily.
Sang Zixin was also very happy. "Mom, my little brother has been married for a few years, why don't he have any children?"
"I asked Hui Lan and she said she wasn't sick." Fang Hua said worriedly.
"Mom, you can take my brother to the hospital to check it out when you have time." Sang Zixin said with concern.
"I told you, but your brother said he wasn't sick." Fang Hua said helplessly.
"How do you know if you don't check, I'll take him there one day." Sang Zixin said.
Fang Hua said: "Very good, your brother listens to you the most." ”
