The two drove all the way home, and Mama He's soul-chasing call followed.

"Son, have you discussed it with Xiao Yin? Have you considered it? Your father and I both think that it is better for you to live here, we are convenient to take care of it, you can also go to work with confidence, and it doesn't matter if you come back a little later if you have socials. You must know that pregnant women need to supplement a lot of nutrients at this time, and I can help Xiao Yin make up for it when I come back. ”

"Mom, didn't we say the day before yesterday? We won't go back to live for the time being, just live here, clothes and things are ready-made, convenient. ”

"What's the inconvenience of coming back? You can just go back once a week and get the clothes, or you can buy them now. Son, let me tell you, it's not okay for a pregnant woman to have no one to take care of her. This is your dad and I's first grandson!"

"I can take care of her, or I can hire a babysitter. ”

"What? There is a nanny at home, you can come back directly, you don't need to ask for more." Also, can you rest assured that the nanny you found temporarily? Do I take care of the nanny with your mother? In addition, Xiao Yin definitely doesn't want to affect your work. ”

... ...

He Yuxin had a headache. He turned his head to look at Yin Jie, who understood what he meant and motioned for him to end the phone first. Then he sat down beside him, took his hand and said:

"Why don't we go back, it's not a problem for you to be like this with your mother. We are very happy to have a baby, and our parents are also happy. They also want to do their part for the baby, and we can't just stop us as children! Let's not refuse them, okay?"

"My mother is a poor and fastidious person, I'm worried that you won't get used to it when you go back, and I don't want you to be depressed and angry. He Yuxin said with a headache.

Yin Jie thought for a while and said:

"Probably not, I think mom is very good. She stretched out her hand to cover He Yuxin's lips and said, "Even if my mother is really particular, I believe that her heart is good, and she will not deliberately find trouble to make me unhappy." So husband, I promise you, if there is something unhappy, I will tell you directly, or talk to my mother directly, okay?"

He Yuxin is still a little worried: "It's not the same to go back once in a while and stay with it all the time." My mom is very strong sometimes, and my dad doesn't mess with her. ”

Yin Jie stretched out his head and kissed the corner of his lips, and said softly: "Mom gave birth to you and raised you, of course she knows what to do better for pregnant women." Besides, your wife is not a person with a very low EQ, don't worry, I will get along with my mother. If you really feel uncomfortable, I will tell you that I will not hide a little. She delicately stretched out her fingers and compared them to a very small size.

So, when He Ma called again, He Yuxin took the phone and walked to the study to discuss with her. In the end, he told Yin Jie that he agreed to live back, saying that he had already been vaccinated with He's mother, and he should pay attention to the emotions of pregnant women. Mother He also promised to discuss everything, and if Yin Jie was unhappy, she would let the two come back together.

Yin Jie felt funny when she heard it, she was not only moved by her husband's intentions, but also worried that his maintenance would have the opposite effect on her in-laws.

That night, the couple sorted out the week's clothes, packed them into their suitcases and put them in the trunk of the car. Yin Jie asked the neighbor downstairs to come up and water the plants in the yard and flower beds when he was free, anyway, the faucets and hoses were in the yard, and it was okay to open the fence gate. The neighbor's wife has resigned at home, and because she is a little bored alone on weekdays, she agreed.

The next evening, the two returned to their in-laws' house.

Father He is a senior engineer at the municipal printing factory and lives in the "cadre building" at the innermost part of the company's dormitory compound. These buildings are basically the same as the other dormitories in appearance, except that the other dormitories are three units in one building, one staircase and two households. The "cadre building" is that each building has only one unit, one ladder and two households.

He Dad is the leader of the project that has created many "firsts" in the domestic printing industry. He lives in such a house, and everyone in the company is convinced.

The in-laws' house is on the fourth floor, and the door is slightly hidden. The smell of braised prawns slipped out through the crack in the door, and you could smell it in the corridor.

This is Mama He's specialty. Mama He's cooking is very delicious. It is said that He Yuxin was greedy when he was a child, and he followed He's mother all day long to ask for delicious food. At that time, the supply of materials was not fully restored, so He Ma had no choice but to make it for him to eat by herself, and he practiced his skills after coming and going. Now Dad He's legs and feet are not very good, and the family has hired a nanny, and Dad He rarely cooks herself. I don't want to be able to taste He Ma's craftsmanship today.

He Yuxin opened the door and took a deep breath of nostalgia before entering the door.

As soon as the two entered the house, Mama He, who was wearing an apron, greeted her, asked the nanny to help take over the box, and said to the two: "The room is all cleaned up for you, hurry up and go in and put down your things and change into comfortable clothes." Wash your face again, and you'll be ready to eat in a while. ”

After the two washed up, they came to the living room, where Dad He sat alone reading the newspaper. Seeing them walk in, he looked over from his reading glasses, asked Yin Jie's body with concern, and asked He Yuxin about his work. Then he smiled and said to the two: "Your mother is happy today, and she will cook for you by herself." Eat more in a while!"

This is a six-bedroom, two-living room and two-bathroom house. Mama He likes to be fashionable, Yin Jie redecorated the house before entering the door, and the furniture was changed several times one after another. The overall style is more modern, but it is also quite comfortable and warm, and it should be no different from the home of young people. If I had to say the difference, it would be that there are a lot of old photos from the sixties and seventies hanging on the photo wall.

At dinner, Mother He looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a blank eye, looking forward to their evaluation of the dishes. He Yuxin took a bite of the prawns and nodded.

"How?" said He Ma expectantly.

"Not bad. After a brief answer, he stopped talking.

Mother He set her expectant eyes on her daughter-in-law again, and her daughter-in-law did not disappoint her.

"Mom, your braised prawns are delicious. While eating, he nodded his little head and said with sincerity in his eyes: "You can take it to the hotel to make a signature dish and sell it!"

He Ma suddenly laughed so much that her eyes were crooked into crescent moons.

"Mom, how do you make this vermicelli vegetable salad? There is a very special fragrance and yes!" Mama He was suddenly scratched on the itch, and said happily: "I put a little ... Let's not tell you, guess what?"

Yin Jie guessed very cooperatively: "Oyster sauce, the taste is extremely fresh, and the salt and pepper are ?... ... Oh Mom, I really don't know!

"I just put a little pepper oil in it, and a little rice wine!

... ...

A good meal.

After dinner, the family gathered in the living room to watch TV and gossip. This mentions the birthday of the old lady in the family.

This old lady is actually He Yuxin's grandmother, but sometimes she is also called "grandmother".

Bella's previous research on Jeff Yin's family was actually very inadequate. Of course, this is understandable, and now that we are a society governed by the rule of law, where is it possible that a company boss can find out the bottom of a person by saying "check"?

The old lady is the top of the pagoda in this family, and all the relationships and resources are actually in the hands of the old lady now. The old lady's own experience is quite legendary:

When she was a child, she and her younger brother hid in Tibet with their mother (grandmother). After the founding ceremony, her father (grandfather) became a lieutenant general, and he had the opportunity to take their mother and son to live together, and later added three younger sisters to her one after another. Because she and her younger brother were arrested and imprisoned with their mother before liberation, her younger brother was tortured a lot, and later his body was always weak, and he died on the eve of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. The grandfather, who lost his beloved son, wiped a handful of tears and took the troops to North Korea...

Grandpa and Grandma died at the beginning of the 10-year catastrophe, and her husband immediately "drew a line" with her. The old lady just took her three sisters (aunts) to live. The first time the Red Guards came to raid the house, they were ashamed to leave by her sharp mouth, so they bought time to hide the valuable things left by their parents. When the Red Guards came again, they only copied two notebooks written by Grandpa Tai with "Always Follow the Party", as well as a bunch of Grandma Tai's notebooks for preparing for classes. This time, the rebel who led the team was a middle school teacher, and he only saw a big girl with three little girls shivering in thin clothes, which touched that little compassion, and secretly stuffed the old lady with a few catties of food stamps, and took away the two landscape paintings on the wall as "four olds".

Grandpa's comrades-in-arms quickly introduced her to a regimental commander of the Eastern Naval Region, and the old lady took several younger sisters to marry into the Eastern Naval Region as military dependents, and gave birth to two daughters (mother-in-law and aunt) on the coast of the East China Sea, bringing up the younger sisters and two daughters together. Grandpa later participated in the battle and died, so the old lady returned to the imperial capital with her husband's ashes, sister and daughter, found a job in a garment factory, and helped several younger sisters start a family one after another:

The second sister married a young teacher at Peking University and later became a well-known professor of archaeology, the third sister married a junior clerk of the tax bureau, the director of the National Taxation Bureau whom Bella had heard about, and the fourth sister married an officer in the navy and has now retired from the post of commander of the East China Sea Theater and lives in a military sanatorium in the imperial capital.

The number of the third generation has greatly increased: the second aunt and grandmother have only one son, who is now the chief scientist of the Geology and Mining Bureau; the third aunt and grandmother have three daughters, two of whom are in taxation, one is a lawyer, one of the three sons-in-law is the deputy director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the Customs and Experiency Bureau found by Bella, the other is the general manager of the investment department of the China Construction Bank, and the other is one of the top 100 lawyers in Beijing; the fourth aunt and grandmother have two sons, one is in the East Naval Region and the other is a major general and division commander in the Imperial Capital Garrison. The old lady herself has only two daughters: the eldest daughter (Yin Jie's mother-in-law) works in the imperial capital library and is married to a senior engineer in the city printing house, and the younger daughter (aunt) works in a real estate company and is married to the youngest son of the commander of the Shanxi Military Region, and her life is also very happy.

Because the old lady pulled these sisters to grow up in the most difficult period, and then helped the sisters to determine the good fate, and acted justly and kindly. All the relatives are now gathered around the old lady, who is a veritable "pagoda tip" for the whole family.

What should I give for such an old lady's 80th birthday?

He Yuxin is married, and in the eyes of the older generation, he is a real adult. We can't afford to be as careless about these family dealings as we used to be. Moreover, since they are married, these things should naturally be left to the wife.

Yin Jie... ... She decided to ask her in-laws for their opinion first.

"Mom, what are you going to give?"

Mother He said: "The things we send are very simple. Your grandmother is willing to wear silk and linen clothes. I found good materials to help her make a few bodies, and I also asked someone to embroider patterns for her according to the old style, and I also embroidered swastika patterns on the corners of her clothes. She definitely loved it. ”

"Then what should we send? Mom and Dad give me a suggestion?" Yin Jie said earnestly.

"Gifts come from the heart. The key is to be attentive, not to care about the precious. Mother He said: "You don't have to be pressured, no matter what you give, you are the eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law that your grandmother likes." ”

Yin Jie was a little embarrassed.

She thought of Xuan'er's jewelry store.

Listening to the mother-in-law, the old lady likes nostalgic things. Xuan'er's shop specializes in making antique jewelry and jewelry, maybe the elderly can like it?
