I am 63 years old this year, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy 3 years ago, I am also very happy, my son and daughter-in-law are very busy with work, and my daughter-in-law's maternity leave is almost over, my son called ** and told me that I want me to help them see my son for a few years, although I still have a job, but since my son has proposed it, I can't help but go, my son also told me that my daughter-in-law will give me 2000 living expenses every month, I refused after all, they are all a family, but my daughter-in-law insists on giving, In this way, I worked hard to show my daughter-in-law a child for 3 years, but only I know what kind of person my daughter-in-law is.
I am a decorator, in my hometown can get more than 4,000 yuan a month, although I am old, but decades of craftsmanship here, many young people are not as good as me, so there is such a high salary, this morning I was working, suddenly received my son's **.
I put down the work at hand and connected the **, my son told me that he wanted me to watch my grandson for a while, because my daughter-in-law's maternity leave was coming to an end, and both of them had to go to work and had no time to see the child, of course I agreed, after all, there is a grandfather who doesn't like his grandson.
* My son told me that my daughter-in-law would give me 2,000 yuan every month, and it was my obligation to see my grandson as a family, so of course I couldn't collect this money, so I refused my son, but my son said that I wanted to buy vegetables and cook every day, buy daily necessities, and insisted that I take it, so I agreed.
My wife died many years ago, she had cancer, this disease ** process is very painful, the wife finally failed to hold on, otherwise it is most appropriate to see the grandson to the wife, I am an old man still thinking about earning two more years, and buy good things for the eldest grandson in the future.
In this way, I explained the reason to the leader, the leader did not want me to go, but I had no choice, after all, I had promised my son, and finally I resigned, before leaving, the leader told me to wait when I had time to do it at any time, I am also very grateful to this leader, usually very generous.
So I stepped on the train to my son's house, sitting on the train I kept thinking about what my son told me, my son said that a few days ago I quarreled with my daughter-in-law because of watching the child, and this day the daughter-in-law told my son that your maternity leave is almost over, so I asked my son how to take care of the child, and he can't go to work with it.
At first, the son told the daughter-in-law to let the daughter-in-law's mother come and see the child, your mother has shown the child to your eldest brother for so many years, and has also shown us the child for a few years, and the son said that his mother is gone, and his father is still working every month, and my father is not free.
The daughter-in-law said that her mother would not come to take care of our children, even if her mother was willing, the daughter-in-law's eldest brother and sister-in-law were not willing, if the two families had a conflict because of this, it would be too much to lose, and the son actually hated his mother-in-law very much.
The mother-in-law is patriarchal, she doesn't care about her daughter, and she never cares about her affairs after marrying her off, in the eyes of the mother-in-law, her daughter is someone else's family after she gets married, and she doesn't need to care so much, but her son cares about it very much.
Since my mother-in-law had a grandson, she immediately took the initiative to see her grandson, from the birth to see that she is now in kindergarten, and she has been watching, and when her mother-in-law's son got married, her mother-in-law also gave her son a lot of money to let her son have a house, and after her mother-in-law's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, her mother-in-law treated her daughter-in-law as her own daughter, but threw her own daughter into my house like this.
I told my son that since my daughter-in-law married into our family, we should not let her suffer, and my son told me that when I first asked my daughter-in-law to let me see my grandson, my daughter-in-law still felt a little inappropriate, after all, I am an old man, and my daughter-in-law is a woman.
But because there was really no one to watch the child, in the end the daughter-in-law also agreed to let me come to see the grandson, the son originally wanted to give me 3,000 yuan a month, but the daughter-in-law felt that it was a bit much, the son thought that I worked in my hometown for more than 4,000 yuan a month, and I couldn't work for them to see the children, so the son wanted to give me some living expenses.
But the daughter-in-law felt that it was a bit too much, and felt that 3,000 yuan could hire a nanny, and the child's milk powder money and diapers cost thousands of dollars every month, and the son told the daughter-in-law to find an outsider to watch the child, you can rest assured that I am not at ease, and the daughter-in-law thinks about it, but the daughter-in-law still thinks that 3,000 yuan is a bit much, so she proposes 2,000 yuan, and they buy some good dishes after work every day.
I only need to see my grandson every day, and it doesn't cost much to cook every day, and my son thought about it and felt that what my daughter-in-law said made sense, so I promised my daughter-in-law to give me 2,000 yuan a month, and if it wasn't enough, I would give me an extra 1,000, and I told my son that I couldn't spend so much money every month.
And I have been decorating for so many years, I have a lot of money in my hands, I often educate my son to do a good job in family relations, since your daughter-in-law is married to you, you must be good to your daughter-in-law, and you can't let your family suffer, but fortunately, my son has lived well in the past few years after marrying my daughter-in-law.
Otherwise, the two of them don't have the financial strength to have a child, the train is still far away from my son's house, so I slept for a while, and when I woke up, the train had already arrived at the station, and when I got out of the train station, my son was already waiting outside, and I was very happy to see my son, after all, I hadn't seen him for several years.
My son has always been very filial, when my wife was sick, my son took out a lot of money to treat my wife, although the daughter-in-law was a little unhappy, but my son still knows which is more important. My son greeted me when he saw me, and then my son drove me to his house.
Along the way, I greeted my son, I asked my son how he was doing recently, how his work was, and my son just said that everything was fine, my son is such a person, he has been reporting good news and not bad news since he was a child, and in a blink of an eye, my son has been married and has children, and my son has also become a father.
I also came from this time, my son must still be a little stressed, from the moment I became a father, I was pleasantly surprised and felt a little overwhelmed, I repeatedly emphasized that I don't have to give myself living expenses, it's all a family, I came to see my grandson, and I didn't want to be a nanny for you.
My son insisted that I can't let me spend my own money at such an age, and if I spend my savings, my son will have to give me a pension, I know my son is joking, the big city is indeed very good, such a wide road, tall buildings, just not as free as the hometown, I can't live Xi.
After about half an hour, I also arrived at my son's house, as soon as I entered the door, I saw my daughter-in-law holding her grandson, my daughter-in-law saw me and gave me a warm greeting, my daughter-in-law is actually very good, the only drawback is a little picky, often look at the money is particularly important.
But she is very willing to spend money on herself, and only picks on others, because my wife lived here for a period of time before her death, when my son had just gotten married, my son insisted that I and my wife come to the city to enjoy happiness, we didn't want to disturb the two of us, but my son was very insistent.
In this way, my wife and I also lived at my son's house for a while, because my wife is from the countryside, and we can't live here every day without working, my wife helps the two of them do housework every day, and once my wife washes the clothes for the two of them, and I originally thought that the two of them can rest a little more after work.
But when the daughter-in-law came home and found that one of her brand-name clothes had also been washed, the daughter-in-law was very angry and complained that the clothes could not be washed, and if they had to be dry cleaned and washed, the clothes would be washed badly, and the wife did not understand what dry cleaning was, could the clothes still be dry washed? Later, I learned that the dress cost thousands of dollars.
We didn't know what to do, so we took out a few thousand yuan to the daughter-in-law, but the son refused to say that it was just a piece of clothing, and it was not that it couldn't be worn, and the daughter-in-law blamed the daughter-in-law, and finally this matter was over, but the daughter-in-law still hated my wife at that time, so the two of us didn't live long and left, we told the son that he couldn't live Xi, in fact, he didn't want to cause trouble for the two of them.
As soon as I arrived home, my daughter-in-law told me that she would give me 2,000 yuan a month for living expenses, in fact, I didn't think about living expenses at the beginning, and I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to give me this money, so I brought my bank card when I came from my hometown, and then my son told me that the room had been packed up and helped me put my luggage in my room.
When I packed up my things and was already a meal, I asked my son and daughter-in-law what dishes they wanted to eat, I went downstairs to buy, and my son told me that his company still had some things to deal with, so he didn't have dinner at home, and he didn't have to do his son's share, and after his son left, his daughter-in-law told me that he hadn't started working yet, and he would give me the living expenses when he was paid, and of course I said I wasn't in a hurry, so I went downstairs to buy vegetables.
On the way downstairs to buy vegetables, I found that there were still many young people walking downstairs in this little community, and there were many old people walking and chatting downstairs, when suddenly a voice stopped me: "Lao Wang, is it you?" I turned my head and saw that it was Lao Li, when I came to my son's house before, I knew Lao Li.
Because I don't have any leisure activities, I occasionally play chess, nothing else but my chess skills are very strong, in a game of chess I met Lao Li, I have to play with me two, but Lao Li has never won, seeing a group of people in the community around the two of us.
Lao Li also felt that his face was a little unbearable, so I deliberately lost, and Lao Li also saw that the so-called mobile phone does not play and do not know each other, and since then we have become friends, often strolling together in the evening.
I looked at Lao Li and jokingly said Why are you still so alive, Lao Li smiled and said that he would live like this for another ten years, and then Lao Li asked me why I came, I told Lao Li that I came to help my son and daughter-in-law take care of the children, and I just arrived today, this is not going to buy vegetables and cook.
Lao Li didn't know that my wife had passed away, so he asked me why your son didn't let your wife come, you can still watch the children as an old man, so I told Lao Li that my wife died of illness a few years ago, and Lao Li was also very surprised and quickly apologized to me, I don't mind after all, those who don't know are not guilty.
It's not early, I told Lao Li that I was going to go shopping for vegetables quickly, and then I left to play chess when I was free, and when I got home, I cooked and brought the food to the table, and then called my daughter-in-law to eat, but I didn't expect the first thing my daughter-in-law came to ask me to take the tableware to the living room to eat, and I was a little angry.
I worked hard to buy vegetables and cook for my daughter-in-law to serve on the table, and my daughter-in-law actually let me go to the side to eat alone, so I asked my daughter-in-law if she disliked me, and the daughter-in-law quickly said that it was not the case, because the grandson had just been weaned, and there were a lot of bacteria in the mouth, and there were no chopsticks at home, so it would inevitably be transmitted to the grandson.
Now my grandson's resistance is very weak, if I get sick, it will be troublesome, I listened to my daughter-in-law's words and didn't say anything, for the health of my grandson, I had to use an empty plate to pull some food to eat, just like that, after eating, I cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, the kitchen was cleaned up, and my daughter-in-law also reminded me to wash a little bit, no residual dish soap, not good for my grandson, I can only wash it several times.
After cleaning up everything, I went back to my room, I couldn't sleep on the bed, in fact, I was under a lot of pressure, after all, the child is not the same as before, what diapers were there before, and I don't have to care about this and that, the child is weaned and eats the same as the family.
Now I have to have less oil and less salt, the ingredients should also be healthy, and I can't eat with my children, I feel like a nanny, I don't feel at home at all in my son and daughter-in-law's house, but my responsibility is to take care of my grandson, no matter how much I am worth it.
I thought I could relax during the day, but when I got up in the morning, I went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients and make breakfast, and after cleaning up, I wanted to watch TV in the living room for a while, but my grandson and daughter-in-law had to take a nap, and I couldn't turn on the sound, and I didn't know how to use a smartphone, so I was very bored every day.
Only after dinner in the evening, I can relax a little, I can go downstairs in the community, play chess with Lao Li to tell my heart, this night Lao Li told me that his balcony always leaks when it rains, so I came to the house with Lao Li and checked it.
I found that the windows of the balcony were not sealed, and when it rained heavily, the rainwater would seep into the balcony from the gap between the window and the wall, and I told Lao Li that it was easy to repair, but now there were no tools, and when I had time to buy tools tomorrow, I would come to Lao Li to solve this problem.
The next evening, I found Lao Li with tools, and the three of them got it done for Lao Li, and then I sat at Lao Li's house and chatted, Lao Li lived alone, because his son was very good, and the family moved abroad, Lao Li himself didn't know any smart phones, and he hadn't seen his son for several years.
Only his daughter sometimes comes back to see Lao Li, but Lao Li lives very lonely every day, Lao Li praised my mobile phone very well, Lao Li said to me in my hometown I should be able to get a month is not my salary, I told Lao Li that I can get more than 4,000 a month.
Lao Li continued, I also blame it is not easy, give up so much salary for a month to see my grandson, I told Lao Li's daughter-in-law Tawau to give me 2000 living expenses every month, and I can see my grandson here and have a salary, which is much more comfortable than at home, Lao Li smiled and said I blame Xiangfu.
Soon my daughter-in-law had maternity leave, and I wanted to go to work as usual, I took my grandson to the restaurant every day to eat, and when my grandson slept, I went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and after eating at night, I took my grandson to the downstairs of the community for a walk, day after day, although a little tired, but gradually Xi it.
Time flies, my grandson is three years old, and I have come to my son's house for the third year, and this night my daughter-in-law told me that my grandson can go to kindergarten, which means that my daughter-in-law can watch the child in the future, indicating that I have been watching my grandson for three years, and it is time for me to rest.
My daughter-in-law asked me if I wanted to continue to live here, I could live here, and if I wanted to go home, I could go home, although I was not used to life Xi in the big city, but I watched my grandson for three years, and I was a little reluctant to let me go suddenly, but I understood that my daughter-in-law didn't want me to stay here.
While you can still do it, you can earn more money to buy toys for your eldest grandson.
I was walking downstairs that night, Lao Li saw me and asked me to play chess, but after so many years, Lao Li still did not grow, I told Lao Li to leave tomorrow, Lao Li was also very reluctant to me, but I asked Lao Li to do me a favor, and Lao Li agreed.
It's been a few days since I returned to my hometown, and I received my son's ** that afternoon, and my son quickly apologized to me, and my son told me that he would bring his daughter-in-law to me to admit his mistake, and I knew that my son knew everything, and I quickly told my son that it was okay, anyway, it was useless for me to keep the money.
In fact, I asked Lao Li to receive 200 yuan that day, because my daughter-in-law promised me 2,000 yuan a month, but never gave it to me, and all the expenses of the family in the past three years were with my own money, and my savings of 50,000 yuan were also spent, and I didn't even have a train ticket to go back.
I still told Lao Li not to tell his son about this, but I didn't expect Lao Li to be indignant about what happened to him, once Lao Li met my son, he began to scold my son for being an unfilial son, and my son was also very confused, Lao Li told my son that I couldn't even afford a train ticket when I left.
Lao Li scolded my son for having no conscience, and he didn't care about me after showing them the child, in fact, my son didn't know that my daughter-in-law didn't give me the money, and after my son knew the ins and outs of the matter, he had a big quarrel with my daughter-in-law and asked my daughter-in-law to give me all the money.
The daughter-in-law was unwilling, and the son told her that she would divorce if she didn't want to, and she couldn't live this life, and finally the daughter-in-law reluctantly agreed, in fact, I felt that it was my obligation to take care of my grandson, anyway, the money was spent on the family, there was no need, and in the end my son gave me all my savings and 2000 yuan per month.
