My lovely little grandson was happily born. I generously prepared a big red envelope worth 10,000 yuan. However, my daughter-in-law said, "Mom, you either pay 9,000 yuan a month or take care of your grandson." Which one do you choose?I frowned.
Puzzled, he asked, "What if you don't choose either?"The daughter-in-law suddenly shouted, "I want my child to take his mother's surname!"I smiled and replied, "My son can be a son-in-law!"However, your family needs to come up with 1.6 million for the house and 290,000 for the bride price!
In addition, give my son a bride price of 290,000 yuan!The daughter-in-law suddenly said something. Hmph, samples!You're not a millennium fox yet. Don't talk to me. It's all the trouble behind the-stirring stick, but the daughter-in-law is still worth saving. My hot **, listen to me in detail:
I'm Yin Mingyue, 55 years old. I'm finally looking forward to the day when I retire from the company. My monthly pension is 6,000 yuan. It's not enough, but it's more than the next. I'm happy with life. Whenever the warm sun shines on me at night, I can't help but hum songs, shake my legs, and enjoy delicious fruits on the balcony. Ah, I don't have to wake up early anymore!
Go to work in the dark, don't have to look at anyone's face, sloppy at home, no one says anything!I chewed a yellow peach with my left hand and threw the winter dates into my mouth with my right hand!Sweet, crispy, this little day is as happy as a fairy!I feel like my second spring is coming!
My husband was mopping the floor, and I raised my feet high and instructed him to work, "Husband, drag the rattan chair down, and there is a black spot in the corner, and wipe it too." The husband rolled his eyes helplessly, "You should be the shopkeeper?"Now that you're retired, why don't you hurry up and take over the housework?”
I quickly flattered and said, "I really can't work!".It's a rookie, are you the mainstay of the family, or do you want to keep up the good work?
My husband put down the mop and asked me with a smile: "I finally got my wish, and I won't go to work anymore, how do you plan to live?"Do you eat and drink every day?Be careful to gain weight. ”
I ate one yellow peach and 10 winter dates. Yes, I have high blood sugar and can't eat more of these fruits. I still have to control it a little bit.
I thought about it for a while and said happily: "I want to travel everywhere and appreciate the customs of the motherland!"I also want to apply to a university for the elderly and learn to play the guzheng and guqin Xi. I have to ......”
My wife glanced at me and gave me a slap in the head, "Don't daydream, wake up!."Isn't my daughter-in-law Qianqian pregnant?You're going to be a grandmother, can you not help take care of your grandchildren?”
Boom, thunderbolt on a sunny day!My husband is right, in two months, my daughter-in-law will give birth, and if I don't have a chance to rest, I will be a grandmother.
I said to myself, "Oh, this day won't pass. I feel like I've just become a mother. How can I be a grandmother?Although I am 55 years old, I am still a 16-year-old girl at heart. How can I be a grandmother?”
The husband smiled proudly and said, "You have to adapt quickly, now I am serving you." In the future, you may have to serve your daughter-in-law and grandchildren. ”
I let out a long sigh, it was really "the scenery is still there, and the years are urging people to grow old"!Whether it's a mother-in-law or a grandmother, I need to ask someone with experience for advice.
I gave Xiumei a ** first. She's been a grandmother for two years. She was busy cooking at her son's house, doing housework, and was heartbroken for her granddaughter. I dialed **, and there was a noisy market voice, "Xiumei, what are you busy with?"”
Xiumei pulled her neck and said, "Mingyue, I buy vegetables at the vegetable market, but this day is very busy, I am busy with back pain every day, and I have to prepare dinner for my son and daughter-in-law." Is there anything wrong with you?”
I scratched my head and asked, "Well, I just wanted to do an interview." Is it hard to be a grandma?Do you need to spend money?What do you need to do?My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”
Xiumei smiled. "Mingyue, you're really laid-back enough. Your wife takes care of you meticulously. However, you still have to learn to do housework!Can't you leave your wife alone to serve your daughter-in-law?The mother smiled, the nasolabial folds on her face and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes revealing her unfathomable city.
She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "We are all reasonable people, and we don't want to think too much, so we set it at 390,000, which shows that the three of us have been in the family for a long time." Hearing this number, my heart sank, and I exchanged worried eyes with my wife, this is simply extorting money
In this small third-tier city, the standard of bride price is more than 100,000 yuan, and we also bought a wedding house in full. I coughed awkwardly. "Dear mother, you also know that we are ordinary salarymen, who have spent 1.6 million to buy a house for our son, and we are really poor. ”
My father-in-law is an honest man, and I tried to pull my mother's sleeve. But the mother-in-law stared at the triangular eyes and broke free decisively.
The mother gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter graduated from college and is beautiful, 390,000 is reasonable, right?."I could only nod my head again and again, "Money is really rare, but even if we have thousands of words in our hearts, we really can't afford 390,000." You know, we're still paying off our mortgage!”
The mother-in-law pursed her lips and said, "Since it's a good thing, you have to show some sincerity, right?"What price do you offer?I had to smile and say, "Okay, it's 80,000 in other places, and we are willing to pay 110,000 more to show our importance to Qianqian." "This engagement banquet is like a negotiation, full of gunsmoke, and like in a vegetable market, you come and go, bargaining.
In the end, I managed to reduce the bride price to 290,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan. It took a lot of sweat to negotiate, so my mother reluctantly agreed. The next "three golds and four silvers" and "motionless" were not discussed. It's not easy to marry a daughter-in-law here.
I can't argue with my mother. I recall the time when I won a collegiate debate tournament and was eloquent. I am full of confidence and pride.
At that time, in order to marry my daughter-in-law and let my future grandson take my husband's surname, I chose my mother's only daughter, Qian Qian. I think it will naturally be more confident to do this, to marry her, a smart little girl, and after the raw rice is cooked, I have to let my mother have nothing to say anymore. However, things didn't turn out as well as I thought they would. After getting married, my stupid son became a slave to his wife, washing his daughter-in-law's feet day and night. However, I am happy to see that the couple is happy and in love with each other, not jealous at all.
However, the stupid son listens to his wife, and the wife obeys his mother, who is my mother. My mother was always haggling and always trying to get her daughter-in-law to empty our purses.
Having said that, the daughter-in-law is really competitive, and her belly bulges after only a month of marriage, so the daughter-in-law is pregnant with my baby, making it seem like the mother-in-law may have some unseen plans.
Alas, since I could not avoid this catastrophe, I just enjoyed it in time, bought a lot of things for my daughter-in-law, and comforted her gently. Then, I waved and went on a trip with my bag on my back!
I was in a good mood playing in the beautiful landscape;Taste the local cuisine and indulge in it;Appreciate the exotic scenery and broaden your horizons;Enjoy the flowers from all over the world, fragrant in all seasons!
Just when I was immersed in the customs of the ancient city of Dali and tasted the delicious "roasted milk fan noodles" with great interest, my husband's ** came.
He said anxiously: "Mingyue, don't hang out outside, come back quickly, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth." If your parents have an opinion that you are not your daughter, you will not be distressed. ”
I rolled my eyes, why didn't I feel distressed?I not only bought my daughter-in-law fat chickens, ducks and various dried fruits and fruits, but also gave my daughter-in-law 5,000 yuan to let her maintain it properly.
In fact, I'm still a little flustered. After all, I didn't fit in with my grandmother's new role, so I went on a trip. However, I still smiled and looked up at the sky and smiled!Yin Mingyue is about to welcome her dear grandson. I'm a little excited when I think of this!
Giving birth to a child is a big deal, and my daughter-in-law has to go through a lot of tests, and our old grandson family is about to welcome a new member, so I'll go back quickly.
Hurried off the high-speed rail and took a taxi to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the central hospital. I rushed out of the delivery room panting and heard the crisp cry of a baby. I came just right, a few minutes ago, my daughter-in-law just successfully gave birth to a healthy fat boy of 7 pounds and 6 taels.
My in-laws stared at me angrily, "You know how to avoid busyness, Qianqian has such an important thing, do you still have the heart to travel?."”
I touched my nose weakly, "Didn't I come back in time?"I can't give birth to a child for Qianqian, but don't worry, I will never delay serving Qianqian's confinement. ”
* Holding the grandson to show us, the little guy's eyes and eyebrows are like sons, mouth is like daughter-in-law, black eyes are staring at us, white and tender, really cute!
The softest place in my heart is a movement, this is my big fat grandson!I looked left and right, and I didn't think enough was enough.
Picking it up carefully, "Baby, I'm your grandma." Look, this is your grandma. The child flattened his mouth and began to cry. The mother said unhappily: "Look at your technique, the child's neck is uncomfortable, or give it to me." ”
Well, I'll admit that I'm really new to this. My son was raised by my mom and my husband has more experience in taking care of his son than I do.
As an older girl in my family, I have three older brothers and three older sisters. I was not good at housework since I was a child. Later, my husband spoiled me and made me a shopkeeper.
The mother-in-law took the child, she was very comfortable, the child did not cry, and there were cute bubbles in her mouth. My daughter-in-law performed well, and I hurriedly ran to the bed to condole, "Qianqian, is it hard?"What do you want to eat?I'll buy it for you!Qianqian nodded aggrievedly and cried, "It hurts to death." ”
I felt a little guilty and realized that my mother-in-law wasn't doing well enough and should have treated my daughter-in-law better. I got a big red envelope of 10,000 yuan by express.
Over the next few days, I did well. After being busy, my wife cooked a pot of crucian carp soup at home, and I helped bring it over.
Seven days later, she left the hospital happy because her daughter-in-law had undergone a C-section. I went into my son's house with my mother and started taking care of my daughter-in-law. You can imagine how angry I was when I partnered with my in-laws. She commanded me like a busy little spinning top, doing everything.
Grocery shopping, grocery picking, washing vegetables, wiping tables, mopping floors, washing clothes, and even changing diapers for my grandchildren have all become my responsibilities. My mom won't let me do it at all, it's cooking, because she thinks my cooking doesn't taste good!I had to put up with that chubby grandson.
I have to say that my parents are very clean and a hundred times better than me in housework, and I admire her abilities. She doesn't know how to do housework, she just doesn't want to, she likes to direct me.
During the delivery, I invested 8,000 yuan, including the cost of the child's diaper and milk powder, and my mother did not pull out a penny, and my son and daughter-in-law did not say anything.
It really doesn't work like this. I only have a pension of 6,000 yuan, and I sold a handful of old bones, which is not even enough to spend. Can I save some money for retirement?
Every day, my mother would bring the child to my room. They fell asleep peacefully, and I was worried about what would happen to the children, and I couldn't sleep all night. Sure enough, being a grandmother is not easy at all!I took the eyes of two pandas and tears flowed into the river.
I thought that my daughter-in-law should go back to her parents' house for 100 days after confinement. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, or I'm really going to fall apart. I lifted a pile of clothes to the balcony, hung them on a hanger one by one, and hit my aching waist hard. The daughter-in-law lay on the bed, and the grandson fell asleep quietly, and the little face was red, and the red apple-like face became more and more beautiful.
Cautiously walking to the bedroom, the daughter-in-law sat up. I suggested that she lie down, and she shook her head. I smiled and asked, "Tomorrow, are you going back to your parents' house with your mother?"What else is needed?Mom will buy it for you. ”
However, the daughter-in-law said, "Mom, it's okay if I can't go back to my parents' house. However, I really won't take care of the children alone, who will help me take care of the children in the future?”
Hello is a question I want to discuss with my daughter-in-law!I tentatively said, "How about having your mom take care of the kids for you?"Anyway, she's retired. I can't really work. ”
The daughter-in-law opened her big innocent eyes and said, "Mom, I am also willing to let my mother help me take care of the child." However, the child's surname is grandchildren, and my mother is equivalent to taking care of your child. ”
When I heard the news, it was a magnified move!It must have been a bad idea from my mother. I smiled and said, "Silly boy, what do you have in my house?".Aren't we family?”
The daughter-in-law shook her head and said, "Mom, I said bluntly, you either get 9,000 yuan a month, and it is said that the nanny is this **." Either help us take care of the baby, which one do you choose?”
I saw my parents poking their heads out the door, as if they were listening to us. Hey, here comes my temper. With my mother-in-law, it's either to pay or to pay.
I put on a straight face and said, "Qianqian, is this what you came up with?"The child belongs to your younger family, not to us. Helping you is love, not helping you is responsibility. ”
The daughter-in-law glanced out of the door, plucked up her courage and said, "Mom, this child's surname is Sun, and he is your child." You're going to have to pick two anyway!My temper came up, "What if I don't pick two?"”
The daughter-in-law pouted and shouted, "Mom, how can you do this?"If you don't pay and don't want to pay, I'll give the child and his mother's last name!"I swept my mother in the living room out of the corner of my eye, and the old lady was comparing herself with her daughter-in-law.
I sneered and said, "Okay, my son can be your son-in-law!."However, you need to pay 1.6 million for the house and then return the 290,000 bride price!At the same time, give my son a bride price of 290,000 yuan!This is what your family married him!”
The daughter-in-law was suddenly there. The mother-in-law had to step forward to play the round, "Qianqian has no other meaning, young people earn relatively little money, and we old people always get some help." ”
I also softened my tone, "I only have one son, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson. Of course, I treat them as treasures in my eyes and pearls in the palm of my heart, but they can't be too greedy. ”
After some haggling, my husband and I communicated through **. He believed that harmony was the most important thing and advised me to put family harmony first. Eventually, my heart relented and I decided to fund to help my grandson. A few years of thrift allowed me to accumulate some money that I now use to support my grandchildren.
However, I only agreed to provide 5,000 yuan per month and promised to only help the child when he was 3 years old, which is my hard work for my mother. After that, my mother settled in Shajiabang, I had time to help, there was no time not to go, in any case, the main work of taking care of the children could not be undertaken by me!
That's good too. I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. I can enjoy life as much as I want and be free. Of the 5,000 yuan, my husband pays 3,000 yuan, and I pay 2,000 yuan. Women always have some pocket money on hand. The 5,000 yuan was given to her daughter-in-law. If she wanted to, she would give it to her parents.
