Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 104

    Zhao Jianghong made a special call to apologize, but Lu Yan didn’t take his anger on him, just reminded him: “If you like your current daughter-in-law, don’t let her Aggrieved.”

    “Yes, I understand what you said.” Zhao Jianghong smiled bitterly, “I’m newly married now, and I also want to make it known to the world, so that I can live a normal and stable life. .”

    “At the beginning of next month, I will go to Jiaodao and invite a few old friends to have a meal. Let everyone meet Mingxiu, Brother Lu, to save face, and bring your sister-in-law with you.”

    “My family has prepared a lot of good fabrics for your daughter-in-law to make two clothes.”

    “I want you to deliver the clothes my daughter-in-law wears?” Brother Lu said that he didn’t want it. The clothes his daughter-in-law wore should also be bought by his husband.

    “Send cotton cloths and pull some clothes for your son?”

    “Children grow fast, so they should make more clothes.”

    Lu Yan agreed: “Okay.”

    Turn her head to Lu Yan and tell Qin Rou about it, Qin Rou nodded and agreed, “It’s fine to meet your friend.”

    “Free lunch, take your son to cheat food and drink.”

    “How can it be called cheating? It’s inexplicable because he has so many twists and turns, he deserves it!” Lu Yan put his arms around his daughter-in-law’s shoulder, “Don’t pay too much attention to Lao Zhao, he People are easy to deceive, but his brain is not very useful since he was a child. His father often buys him walnuts to make up his brain, and when I go to his house to play, I see their sister and brother use the door to hold walnuts.”

    “Think about it, if you eat walnuts caught by the door, you can’t be smart if you want to be smart.”

    “I often think his head is caught in the door.”

    Qin Rou looked at him with a smile, and joked, “Lu Yan, tell the truth to your daughter-in-law, were you greedy when you were young?”

    “People use the door to put walnuts, don’t you eat and drink?”

    Lu Yan: “…”

    Lu Yan raised his hand and pinched her face, raised his eyebrows and said, “What do you mean?”

    “I was just expressing a question, just like your two sons, making a sound of wanting to ask ‘why’.”

    “Then I won’t tell you, you think for yourself.”

    Qin Rou’s eyes turned into two crescent crescents, and she was afraid that the man would really get angry with her, so she took the initiative to kiss him.

    “One kiss is not enough, two kisses will show your attitude of admitting your mistake.”

    “Slimy, it’s good for a while.”

    “Do you think sharks are simply satisfied?”

    “Catfish, or sharks? People say that I draw fat-headed fish. The teacher next door, Mr. Huang, likes to eat fish heads with chopped peppers. He said that the fat-headed fish I drew looks very appetizing.”

     “She said that after she bought the baby shark picture book for her child, the fish head with chopped peppers became more fragrant.”

     “When Director Zhang saw that I drew a baby shark picture book for the child to celebrate his second birthday, he also drew a picture book of a baby earthworm for Dun Dun, which surprised Mr. Huang and said that he The painted earthworm is more like a snake than a sea snake.”

    Lu Yan: “…the couple next door is weird.”

    At this moment, the two entangled cubs are being led by their grandparents everywhere to call grandpa.

    A rare and leisurely life without cubs.

    The two don’t care about the children. Lu Yan took Qin Rou out and walked around the old town. There are many old western-style buildings left in the old town. They stopped and walked. , and took a lot of photos.

    Lu Yan took his daughter-in-law to the place where he once read.

    “I will visit your hometown anytime.” He smiled and looked at Qin Rou. Qin Rou was walking beside him, wearing a white and blue dress. Although it was cloudy, she looked up at his At that time, the beautiful fox’s eyes narrowed slightly, like a little fox who was enjoying himself.

    Lu Yan grabbed her hand and said calmly, “Then don’t go.”

    “Yeah.” Qin Rou smiled. She looked into the eyes of the man in front of her and said seriously, “Lu Yan, after marrying you, I lived a very happy life.”

    Maybe the weather is just right today, and the sea breeze is very comfortable. Qin Rou saw many old buildings and was brought back to her old feelings. She couldn’t help but want to say a few moving words: “The memories with you are all very good.”

      She could feel a kind of power from him that made her “peace of mind”.

    With him by my side, I am not afraid of anything.

    Lu Yan smiled when she heard her words, raised her eyebrows and said, “Marrying you Brother Lu, will it make you unhappy?”

     “Brother Lu, you look so proud, people just want to pour some cold water on you.”

    Lu Yan said carelessly: “You splash, my heart is warm, but I can’t get cold.”

    “What you said is really greasy and greasy, so greasy.”

    Lu Yan blinked: “Don’t you like to put more oil in cooking?”

    Qin Rou: “…” Brother Lu, we can’t talk anymore.

    “Let’s go, let’s go back.”

    The husband and wife are sticky and sticky like paint. There are no children around. Grandson and grandson Xia Mingxi are okay, they are already old, they are looking for old friends to play with, they have two little twins, and they are three years old.

    The brothers babbled: “Grandma, what is this?”

    “Why why?”

    “Grandpa, why do you want to eat radish skin?”

    …

    Whoops, my head is getting bigger when asked.

    Old Lu and his wife looked at each other very worriedly. They both agreed that their children are the cutest when they can’t speak.

    Lu Zongyi came home exhausted. When he got home, he saw his youngest son and his wife sitting on the sofa listening to old records.

    There is also a large bowl of watermelon cut into small cubes. The watermelon juice is beautiful and tender red, and there is a fragrance of watermelon floating in the air.

    As soon as he saw this picture, Comrade Lu didn’t get angry, and criticized with a serious face: “Are you a big man lying on your daughter-in-law?”

    “What about your military appearance and discipline?”

    Lu Yan calmly said: “Throw it away.”

    He sat up, inserted a piece of watermelon with a thin bamboo stick and fed it to his daughter-in-law’s mouth, Qin Rou bit into her mouth helplessly.

    Old Lu Chui beard stared.

    “Are you here to honor your parents? Or are you here to enjoy?”

    Qin Rou: “…”

    Is this the “quarrel” and “critical” and “unaccustomed” that you always have to face when you come to the in-laws’ house?

    Jiang Ping, who was passing by, said, “You can let them go. This is the way the father and son are.”

    Qin Rou didn’t get involved in these things, and went to the kitchen with her mother-in-law Jiang Ping. Greedy Cat: “I want to eat pancakes.”

    “Eat pie.”

    “Grandma will make cakes for you.”

    “I want sesame!”

    …

    Now there are only Lu Zongyi and Lu Yan and their sons in the hall. Comrade Lu found that he really can’t argue with this unfortunate son. He really wants to **** him off.

    As soon as he came back, he was mad at him, stinky brat.

    Lu Zongyi went out for a walk with his hips on his hips.

    There were quite a lot of people in the cadre rest center watching the fun, and when they saw Lu Zongyi’s appearance, everyone murmured in their hearts.

    Zheng Guang and his wife saw Lu Zongyi’s furious appearance, they both became curious, and he couldn’t help but said to his wife Zhou Chunxiang: “What do you think about this old Lu? What’s the matter? The former one was still beaming.”

    “You don’t understand this.” Zhou Chunxiang raised her eyebrows proudly: “Look at our work break, how many sons bring their daughters-in-law back without quarreling? Now? Many new daughters-in-law are very temperamental and can’t get along with their parents-in-law…”

    “A few days ago, wasn’t the old Xie family angry enough? He told me a lot about her daughter-in-law.”

    “Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have conflicts, father-in-law and son, father and son, they can only be human inside and outside, don’t you think?

    Zheng Guang: “I don’t think so?”

    “Why not?”

    “I’ve seen his little daughter-in-law. She looks beautiful and gentle, speaks well, and is not impatient. The youngest son of the Lu family is suitable for finding such a daughter-in-law.”

    “That’s why you’re stupid. I heard Lao Wang say that this little daughter-in-law of the Lu family used to be a little pepper, and she was full of temper.”

    “Ah? She has a bad temper? Lu Yan’s temper can’t be better?”

     “That’s right! In front of outsiders, of course they are friendly, but in private, you see, what Lu Yan did, is he a peaceful person? Plus the Tan family Oh…oh, their house is also a mess, I guess.”

    “I didn’t expect it to be like this?” Zheng Guang found that as a man, he really didn’t know the parents in the rest house.

    Yesterday he was envious of the twins and grandsons of Lao Lu’s family, but now he is not envious.

    This kind of good thing, he has no luck.

    “This little pepper must be angry with Lu Yan, and Lu Yan will not go to the hospital to make trouble. After the trouble is over, his parents will definitely have opinions on the little daughter-in-law, look at it .”

    “Sons and daughters are all debts, which family is not like this? When I first came home to visit relatives, I quarreled with He Meimei and quarreled within a few days. Isn’t that what the old grandson’s family is like? His youngest son is going to college. Now, it is rare to come back twice a year. Before the person came back, the old Sun and his wife thought about their little son every day. Now that the person came back from the summer vacation, the father and son were deeply in love two days ago, and in the next few days…you can talk about them Have you had a few fights at home?”

    …

    Zheng Guang, Zhou Chunxiang and his wife were chatting, and saw Comrade Lao Lu coming back from a walk around again, his face still full of anger, Zheng Guang then jokingly said: “Old Lu? You? Aren’t you happy that your son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law brought your grandson back?”

    “How is Jiang Ping and her daughter-in-law doing?”

    Old Comrade Lu smacked his mouth, “It’s okay.”

    These two girls took their children away, leaving their father and son with big eyes and small eyes.

    Zhou Chunxiang asked: “Then why do you look so angry?”

    When I mentioned this, Lu Zongyi was so angry that he patted his thigh and said, “I can’t stand my son like that!”

    Zheng Guang: “…”

    Zhou Chunxiang: “…”

    Co-authoring is still a conflict between your father and son.

    “How is he? Lu Yan is almost thirty, he should be more mature and sensible than when he was a child.”

    “What did he do?”

    “Could it be the hospital?”

    Old Lu: “That’s not… Damn, he should have done the hospital thing a long time ago, who the **** spread these rumors behind his back, my son and daughter-in-law are sticky all day long, what? It’s time to pester someone else’s house…”

    “Sick, make up these things.”

     Zheng Guang and his wife: “…”

    “Why do you dislike him?”

    Lu Zongyi was at a loss for words for a while, but he couldn’t say that he couldn’t understand him being too leisurely, as if he had returned to his happy hometown and was blind in front of his old father, just because he was not pleasing to the eye, “… “

    It used to be fine when he was on Qiongzhou Island, but Lu Yan came back every once in a while, and now he is lying in his parents’ house as salted fish drying on the beach, making him angry.

    “You don’t have my son, you don’t understand.” In the end, Lu Zongyi could only vaguely remark and leave with a sullen head.

    Zheng Guang and Zhou Chunxiang looked at each other and thought that the old Lu family was quite interesting. What happened when his son and daughter-in-law came back with their two young grandchildren?

    Lu Zongyi and his wife took Zhouzhou and Dumpling for a walk in the dry rest center. Many people were attracted by the clothes of Zhouzhou and Dumpling, and they all saw their chest Cute and naughty squirting little whale.

    Some women from the family came to Lu’s house to ask Qin Rou, wanting to learn how to sew small whales on the front of clothes.

    Zhou Chunxiang followed Mo Jixiang and Yang Yue’s mother-in-law to Lu’s house. Mo Jixiang heard from his little grandson that the old Lu’s grandson’s chest looks good, so he asked Yang Yue to come and learn it. The daughter-in-law of the family had just arrived, so she also came to see what the young daughter-in-law of the Lu family looked like.

    Yang Yue is the daughter-in-law of the Ma family. After she got married, she lived with her father-in-law and her mother-in-law.

    “What does the pattern on your child’s chest look like?”

    “My little grandson likes it and wants to make him a suit like this.”

    Someone came to ask about the pattern of the clothes, but Qin Rou didn’t care. It was just a simple pair of small whales. There will definitely be differences.

    “How old is the child? I draw a picture, you can take it back and follow it…” It is not difficult to embroider a pattern on clothes. Li Qinghua was not very good at the beginning, as long as he studied hard, After you get used to it, you can embroider it naturally.

    Yang Yue said: “Well, Xiao Qin, please help me draw a picture, I will take it back and embroider it for my son…”

    Mo Jixiang hurriedly said: “This is too much trouble, Comrade Xiao Qin, can you help us embroider a picture by yourself, so as not to waste the fabric, I am afraid that my daughter-in-law’s craftsmanship No, my grandson doesn’t want to embroider it, isn’t it a waste of time?”

    “Can I trouble you, a young man, to do embroidery for our grandson by yourself, I think you have a good hand, I really envy the old Lu family to have a daughter-in-law like you , looks beautiful, has skillful hands, and shows off the pattern, my grandson will definitely like it.”

    Mo Jixiang’s face was very bright and kind, but he had a good calculation in his mind.

    How troublesome is it to take it back and embroider it?

    She knows that this kind of young man is the most thin-skinned, good-looking, and doesn’t know how to refuse. As an older elder, she has put so many high hats on her, and this kind of silly young man doesn’t listen immediately Excited?

     Fool her a few words, and she will act obediently.

    This is the method that Mo Jixiang learned from those old fritters in the work unit. There are young people in the work unit. How can you push those arduous and troublesome jobs to the young people to do?

     Only you can do it, this is training you…

    The young man immediately felt that he was valued by the old people in the unit, and took over all the dirty and tiring work, and also felt that he was “young and promising”, “smarter than the old people”, “these old people are stupid , I can’t learn new things, I can only learn when I’m young”…

    Who is stupid?

    Whoever does the dirty work is really stupid!

    Mo Jixiang gave her daughter-in-law Yang Yue a wink, thinking that this daughter-in-law is stupid, not shrewd at all, very stupid, she came to her house as a daughter-in-law, and did not learn a single bit of her intelligence.

    Is it a fool not to take advantage of it, and I have to do it myself?

    “Aunt Mo, I’m sorry, I’ll draw a pattern for your house, go back and embroider it yourself, it’s not difficult.” Qin Rou immediately refused, she thought that this precedent could not be opened, if she helped the first One family embroidered, can the second family help? What about the third one?

    Is it possible that she came to visit relatives and came here as a helper?

    It’s a lot of work, and you should never take such troubles on yourself. Look at the way this mother-in-law spoils her grandson. Don’t look at her words now, if you really help her , she may also pick out a lot of faults, say that there are problems in this and that, and then correct them.

    It’s even worse if the grandson doesn’t like it, she will come back and say you ruined her fabrics, trouble you and ask you to lose money.

    —there are such people in this world.

    In order to avoid encountering such people less often, you must learn to refuse reasonably, help those who should help, and don’t reach out to help those who shouldn’t.

    “Hey!” Mo Jixiang frowned: “It’s not a big deal, you can help our family embroider.”

    “I’m sorry, Aunt Mo, I don’t have that much effort, you can do it yourself.” Qin Ruan refused to eat, and was determined not to let go, “This sister-in-law also said just now that she can go back and embroider by herself.”

    “What’s the matter with you, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family? You are unwilling to help with such a trivial matter?” Seeing that she was really unhelpful, Mo Jixiang immediately raised his voice and tried to bring the Lu family’s back. The person called over and put pressure on Qin Rou.

    If you don’t help with this little thing, how can you be a daughter-in-law?

    Jiang Ping and Lu Yan came out at this time, Mo Jixiang and Yang Yue’s eyes immediately focused on the mother and son, Mo Jixiang immediately said to Jiang Ping: “Old Lu family, this child from your family My daughter-in-law doesn’t do things well, I just wanted her to help with a little thing, but she got angry and didn’t agree.”

    Zhou Chunxiang, who was drinking tea and eating melon seeds to watch the fun, saw this scene and immediately became energetic.

    —This Lu family is really lively to watch.

    Lu Yan interjected: “What did you ask her to help?”

    “It’s not a big deal, I asked her to sew clothes for my grandson, well, it’s just a small fish pattern, she still refuses to help, the Lu family, your daughter-in-law is squeamish Ah.” Mo Jixiang said these words and looked at Jiang Ping with a smile.

    The corner of Lu Yan’s mouth moved slightly, but he didn’t speak, and looked at his daughter-in-law first.

    Jiang Ping said: “Since it’s a trivial matter, then you can go back and do it yourself. It’s not easy for my son and daughter-in-law to come back from the island. I have to rest at home now.”

    “Hey, what can this young man have a rest? Look at what you said,” Mo Jixiang showed off: “Jiang Ping, how can you, a mother-in-law, still be unable to control your daughter-in-law? My son’s daughter-in-law, Yang Yue, does everything at home, she never gets tired, she works diligently, and treats my son like my ancestors.”

    “This is what people are meant to be daughters-in-law. They say that a daughter-in-law will become a mother-in-law for ten thousand years. Who didn’t start as a daughter-in-law?”

    “Humans are like stones, they need to be sparred. Your daughter-in-law doesn’t do such trivial matters. How can you take care of your son at home in the future? I know she gave birth to two children in your family. Grandson deserves credit, but she can’t just let her temper.”

    Lu Yan walked to his daughter-in-law and sat down, the couple looked at each other, Lu Yan put his arms around Qin Rou’s shoulder and said softly, “I don’t care about my daughter-in-law, as long as I’m at home , I can’t bear to let her suffer, I wash the clothes at home and sweep the floor, as long as I can do the work, I can’t let her do it.”

    He picked up Qin Rou’s hand and gently stroked it, “I didn’t want her to sew this dress, but she wanted to make clothes for me. When I got married, I didn’t even want to give her a sewing machine. Buy it, fiddle with these needles and threads, it hurts your eyes.”

      learned from their father.

    Qin Rou said sincerely, “Lu Yan, it’s nice to be married to your family.”

    If she meets a mother-in-law like Mrs. Mo before her, it is estimated that every day will be a battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

    Zhou Chunxiang: “…”

    Seeing this, Zhou Chunxiang discovered how the excitement was different from what she imagined?

    The Lu family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are quarreling? Lu Yan and Qin Rou, the couple… Didn’t they say a dynamite bucket and a small pepper? It is so affectionate and sweet, is this the dynamite barrel that fried the small peppers into chili sauce? How sticky or not?

    “Jiang Ping, look what happened to your son and daughter-in-law?” Mo Jixiang’s face was not very good.

    What is meant by marrying into their Lu family? Wouldn’t it be good to marry into their Ma family?

      Yes, she doesn’t look down on her very much, and she has no interest in being a mother-in-law who manipulates her daughter-in-law.

    “Why is the situation different in each family? Isn’t this the case in other families?”

    “There is no way, our family is not like this.”

    “You just let your son spoil your daughter-in-law? Be careful to ride on you in the future? It will be lawless in the future.”

    “How can you be lawless? Who is lawless?” Lu Zongyi hugged a grandson in his left hand and a grandson in his right hand, and walked in with a smile.

    When I saw my son Lu Yan in the house, I couldn’t smile.

    He looked down at his two grandsons, Zhouzhou and Dumpling. Although these two little guys look like that stinky brat, these two guys are lovable, don’t look like their father disgusting.

    “Old Lu, you just happened to be here, come and listen, I think your old and young dote on his daughter-in-law too much.”

    Lu Zongyi didn’t know his previous relationship, so he came along: “Is it not good to spoil my daughter-in-law? It is the tradition of our old Lu family to spoil my daughter-in-law. My stinky son is not good anywhere, that’s all. like me.”

    Lu Zongyi said cheerfully, and took the initiative to put gold on his face, he glanced at Jiang Ping in a flattering way: “Comrade Jiang, do you think so?”

    Jiang Ping: “…”

    There is a word that I don’t know she should say.

    “Zhouzhou Dumpling, learn from your grandfather and me. You have to spoil your daughter-in-law before you can marry a good daughter-in-law.”

    Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling nodded in understanding.

    Mo Jixiang stared at Lu Zongyi in disbelief: “…”

    She understands, it turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! The whole family has been like this from old to young.

    Zhou Chunxiang: “…”

    She felt that today’s excitement was a waste of time.

    Mo Jixiang walked out of the Lu family with his daughter-in-law Yang Yue, and Zhou Chunxiang followed behind them.

    Mo Jixiang hurriedly said to Yang Yue: “Our family can’t learn from the Lu family, this Lu family is not upright, and our grandsons should not learn these things in the future, women are born to serve men, How can you let a man do housework, isn’t that sissy? There’s no manliness at all.”

    “That good woman is willing to marry a sissy? She was a **** before she was released.”

    Since the Lu family came out, Yang Yue was a little stuck in her heart, but now she heard her mother-in-law’s words, it was more like a knife stabbed into her heart.

    —sissy?

    —Eunuch?

    Yang Yue remembered the husband she married. He had no success in his career and had no ideas at home. He just listened to the **** words. , he went west, and even asked his mother about their husband and wife’s same room…

    As soon as he entered his house, he kept saying that he liked her and treated her sincerely, but when his mother tried to pick on her, he didn’t even dare to say nonsense, and he never defended himself My daughter-in-law, she only said that she couldn’t take her own mother, and let her follow his mother a lot.

    My husband couldn’t stand up, so Yang Yue could only compromise again and again.

    —Who is a sissy eunuch, isn’t she married?

    No backbone.

    Zhou Chunxiang laughed aside and said, “This one from the Lu family is a thorn. He was violent when he was a child, and he fought against his father every day.”

    “Lao Ma, your son is more obedient. He will listen to your mother.”

    “That’s right.” Mo Jixiang said proudly, “I raised it well, my son is obedient.”

    Zhou Chunxiang smiled and walked away, thinking that it was a good show today.

    Yang Yue’s face was red, and Zhou Chunxiang’s words made her want to dig a hole in the ground. Her face was hot, and at this moment, she realized that other people in the yard were in the heart Qing, she was really married to a waste sissy eunuch.

    She covered her face and ran back.

    “Yang Yue, Yang Yue, what are you running for?!”
