Chapter 416: Family Life (1)
March is here, and I will summarize February. February has 28 days in total. Xiaoqiao has posted twenty-four chapters, but it is still four chapters short of it. I have not completed the basic tasks of one chapter a day. Think about it, it was the days at the beginning of the month that the remnants of the Spring Festival were not over, and it was delayed a lot of time. I feel ashamed.
Also: Today is the first day of March. As usual, I would like to ask for monthly tickets. Friends support me. Let Xiaoqiao stay on the classified monthly ticket list. This is an honor.
…………………………………………
After the Joker Chou in Lingxi was born, Sister Li was taken care of. Hou Weidong took time to see him every time. Because of the lack of time, of course, he only cared about intimacy. No matter what he did, he looked happy, but when the little daughter was born, the situation changed.
After Zhang Yuanzheng was rehired by the factory, he suddenly had a second spring. He went to the factory on time every day, but was not on time after get off work. When he got off work at six o'clock in the factory, he always had to procrastinate in the workshop until seven o'clock, and sometimes he had to eat in the factory with several apprentices. When he smelled the mixed smell of oil and sweat in the workshop, and heard the roar of the machine, Zhang Yuanzheng felt at ease, and his waist was as strong as a man.
In this way, the important task of taking care of the little daughter fell on Chen Qingrong. Chen Qingrong named herself a grandmother of Xiao Jian and was dedicated to taking care of Xiao Jian, but she did not take care of the housework.
As a result, the burden on Hou Weidong's shoulders became heavier. Every day when he came home from get off work and saw Chen Qingrong busy in the house, he felt embarrassed to be idle, helping with dishes and sweeping the floor. Washing the diapers of the little daughter, the days passed quickly in the busy life.
On June 11, the Provincial Department of Finance came to inspect the work. The Department of Finance and Shazhou City was on par, but the God of Wealth was in charge, and Zhou Changquan and Liu Bing attached great importance to it. They came forward together to host a banquet for Deputy Director Jiang Yulou, the Finance Department, at the small guesthouse.
Jiang Yulou and Zhu Yan’s new name are close to each other, which can easily make people confused as two siblings. In fact, they have no relationship. It is just because of the Zhu family that the two recognize their brother and sister.
Hou Weidong and Deputy Director Jiang Yulou were old acquaintances. Through coal use in thermal power plants, the two had direct contact. Later, Hou Weidong asked Jiang Dali to go to Yunnan to buy jade Go, and this jade Go became Jiang Yulou's greatest honor.
After a while, the relationship between the two got closer and was separated from the Zhu family. With Zhou Changquan and Liu Bing here today, Hou Weidong naturally would not take the initiative to show off. After saying hello to Jiang Yulou, he hid in the Shazhou camp, and did not show his special relationship with Director Jiang.
After the banquet, Hou Weidong sent Zhou Changquan home and made an appointment with Gao Jian from the Southern New District. Gao Jian heard that he was a member of the Provincial Finance Department. He was naturally very interested and immediately sent someone to arrange hot springs and late-night snacks.
Hou Weidong and Gao Jian returned to the city's small tricks and asked Jiang Yulou and others to go to the hot springs first. Then at the night market in Shazhou, they asked Shazhou citizens' favorite hot lobsters, panlong eels and other wild food at the food stall. Jiang Yulou also put aside the airs of the deputy director of the Finance Department, and a few people were drinking and enjoying themselves.
It happened that at this time, Hou Weiguo brought colleagues from the Economic Investigation Detachment to come over to drink. Everyone put two tables together and got together until twelve o'clock in the evening. Then they parted in their hearts.
After breaking up, Hou Weidong sent Jiang Yulou into the dormitory. Jiang Yulou said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Weidong, you must take charge of the party quickly. While I am still in power, you will definitely support you in terms of financial funds." Zhou Changquan promised to let Hou Weidong be the county magistrate. He worked hard to entertain Jiang Yulou and also used a long line to catch big fish. He smiled and said, "If you really become the county magistrate in the future, you will definitely trouble Brother Jiang." Jiang Yulou said readily: "What's the matter? Anyway, it's all the money from the country. I give it to Zhang San and Wang Wu."
When he went upstairs, Hou Weidong brought a few drunkenness. When he entered the door, he saw the house in a mess, and there were still some unwashed dishes on the dining table. Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng were sitting in the living room, with programs randomly placed on the TV.
Hou Weidong went over to say hello, Chen Qingrong raised her head, looked at Hou Weidong, and asked, "Why did you come back? You are drunk again." Hou Weidong burped and said, "The Provincial Department of Finance went to Shazhou to inspect. I accompanied the guests, but I was not drunk."
Chen Qingrong's tone was very gentle and said, "You will come back early in the future. Your father is 60 years old. He has to work in the factory during the day. There are so many things at home, so you have to help with it."
Hou Weidong was stunned when he heard this. He had a lot of social engagements recently, but as Zhou Changquan's full-time secretary, he couldn't help but feel free to do it most of the time. He said in his mouth: "I have asked to hire a nanny for a long time, but you don't want to. I have so many things, so how can I have more energy to do housework." But he said: "There are indeed guests today, and I will come back soon if I have nothing to do in the future."
Seeing the mess at home, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mom, we still have to hire a nanny. You should concentrate on taking care of your little boy. Leave these chores to the nanny, otherwise you will be too tired."
Seeing Hou Weidong preparing to do housework, Chen Qingrong sighed and came to help clean up, saying, "You will talk about Xiaojia when you go back. The confinement disease is the most difficult to treat. Tell her not to rush to wash her face and brush her teeth. This child has become a mother and his temper will not change," he said.
He said again: "It's so late, don't clean up and take a break soon."
When she arrived at the bedroom, Xiaojia was feeding Xiaojian. She pushed her mouth outward and said, "I had a fight with my mother today."
Hou Weidong said: "I guessed that the house was in chaos and I didn't clean up. Are you quarreling?" Xiaojia said helplessly: "There are different ideas, and we will have a big fight sooner or later."
Hou Weidong advised: "Mom takes care of our children. I'm so tired every day, why should you quarrel with her? You can't say anything well." Xiaojia opened her mouth aggrievedly, "I haven't brushed my teeth for nearly a month, and I feel stinky."
Hou Weidong knew that Xiaojia and Chen Qingrong and his daughter had a long dispute over this:
One party believes that he cannot wash his hair or take a bath during the confinement period because he will be affected by wind and cold, and will suffer from headaches and physical pain in the future. The other party believes that washing his hair and bathing is beneficial to the health of the mother;
One party also believes that you cannot brush your teeth during confinement period and comb your hair. Doing so will cause premature loosening and scalp pain in the future. The other party also believes that brushing your teeth and combing your hair blood circulation
One party believes that it is impossible to eat vegetables, fruits and raw and cold foods. It will damage the spleen, stomach and teeth. The other party believes that vegetables and fruits contain a large amount of various vitamins. It contains more food fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and is conducive to postpartum laxatives.
One party believes that he cannot get out of bed and moves and needs to lie in bed so that his body can recover quickly and well. The other party believes that lying in bed all day will reduce appetite. Reproductive organs will recover slowly, and it is also possible to develop endometrial inflammation, organ and tissue embolism.
One party believes that the wind cannot be seen after giving birth. Even when it is indoors, they are afraid of wind and should be covered tightly to prevent strokes. The other party believes that the air must be ventilated indoors to keep the air fresh.
Chen Qingrong came up with her own experience, while Xiaojia learned from books. The two started arguing since the fifth day of the month, and neither of them was convinced. Although Chen Qingrong got angry several times, Xiaojia still did what she wanted.
Hou Weidong was surprised to find: "The mother and daughter's tempers are simply carved out in a mold. As long as they think it is reasonable, they will stick to their own opinions."
He was not convenient for him to persuade Chen Qingrong, but he advised Xiaojia several times. Xiaojia insisted: "My mother is obviously wrong, why should she do what she said? This is to be responsible for her own body, that is, to the whole family."
Xiaojia refused to abide by Chen Qingrong in this matter, and Hou Weidong had a very ambiguous attitude. The young couple teamed up to hide from Chen Qingrong and still followed the methods in the book. Everyone lived under the same roof, so of course these things could not be hidden. Chen Qingrong was also a person who could not hide the words. If the mild ones were talking a few words, the severe ones would get angry.
Hou Weidong is not talking about his own internal affairs.
After entering the house, Hou Weidong asked, "I quarreled with my mother again today." Xiaojia said, "I quarreled for an hour. I didn't dare to go out."
After eating his milk, Xiao Jian started to sleep quietly again. In Hou Weidong's eyes, Wu Jian was so young. He slept on the wooden bed, his nose was still whistling. After watching by the shaking bed for a while, he sat next to Xiaojia.
"After dinner, I wiped my little son's face. My mother saw it and scolded me, saying that my little son's face was tender and would be damaged. In fact, I was afraid that my little son would have fat particles."
Hou Weidong asked: "Did Xiaozi have fat particles?"
"No, I'm preventing."
Hou Weidong put his arm around Xiaojiaquan's rolling arms with one hand and said, "My mother's concept has been formed over the past few decades. It may not be right, but it is not a big mistake. She is your mother at least, so you should be more accommodating and don't make the wars go wild every day."
In another room, Zhang Yuanzheng was sleeping in bed, and was about to fall asleep. Chen Qingrong was still giving Xiao Jian a sweater. When she turned around, she saw that Zhang Yuanzheng was asleep, so she pushed him hard and said, "I only know how to sleep for a day, and I don't say a few words."
Zhang Yuanzheng was tired at the factory, so he barely opened his eyes and said, "What are you saying, haven't you said enough?" Chen Qingrong said, "How about you tell me my son-in-law?" Zhang Yuanzheng said, "It's not bad."
Chen Qingrong said: "His family is from a special county and has nothing to do with the city. Hou Weidong was transferred from Yi Yang to Shazhou and became a secretary. He is really capable."
She stopped her work and said, "It's just that she is so capable. Anyone like this is prone to teasing cats and messing with her. Women nowadays are also very cheap, and they are justified to be a third party."
Zhang Yuanzheng squinted his eyes and prepared to go to bed again. Chen Qingrong pinched him twice before he opened his eyes dissatisfiedly.
"You said, Hou Weidong is rich and an official, will he raise a woman outside? This month, I have recorded the time he goes home every day. This afternoon, from May to today, forty-seven days, Hou Weidong will not go home after 10 o'clock, and also go to Lingxi for business and study for four days."
From the last few months of pregnancy to the breastfeeding period, the couple couldn't live a sexual life. Chen Qingrong was always worried that Hou Weidong would take advantage of this period to look for women outside.
"You women are thinking about something messy in their heads. It's better not to think about these shadowless things." After hearing this, Zhang Yuanzheng's sleepiness disappeared.
"I asked Hou Weidong to do housework, but in fact I wanted him to leave more time at home, and it was not necessary for him to do things. Xiaojia didn't understand my painstaking efforts at all. She is really an extrovert." Chen Qingrong was a little discouraged.
Zhang Yuanzheng advised: "You are too suspicious about this matter. Xiaojia has grown up, and we can't control her affairs. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Chen Qingrong thought for a while and said, "The old man said something reasonable this time. My second cousin said to me many times. I didn't agree to come to take care of Xiaojia's children. Now it seems that Hou Weidong really can't help, so I just let my second cousin come. She has experience in raising the children, so everyone is relaxed."
Zhang Yuanzheng said: "Does Xiaojia know about this? She is as stubborn as a donkey, almost like you. She must agree, otherwise she will have to quarrel again."
Chen Qingrong said: "I can't even make a decision about this matter, so I'm still a parent, let alone hiring a nanny, Hou Weidong said many times."
At night, Xiao Jia didn't sleep, so Xiao Jia had to follow her. At five o'clock in the morning, the little guy fell asleep obediently, but Xiao Jia fell asleep at six o'clock and fed her breasts at eight o'clock. Xiao Jia started to sleep. It was already ten o'clock in the morning when she woke up.
The second cousin brought a bowl of eggs and walked in, and said enthusiastically: "Xiaojia, from today on, my cousin will help you take care of the children."
Xiaojia was a little confused and took the bowl and said, "Second cousin, when did you come?" The second cousin is a middle-aged woman who is very fussy. She smiled and said, "Your mother called me this morning. I put down the bowl and took the bus. I will adapt to it for the whole morning and go back to get my clothes tomorrow."
Xiaojia took a bite of the egg and felt that there was too much sugar and she was a little tired of it.
