That night, Yang Xiaoxia was with her husband**, and suddenly her father-in-law, Uncle Kong, called her**, Yang Xiaoxia said goodnight to her husband, and then ended up with her husband**, and answered her father-in-law**.
At this time, Uncle Kong was sitting on the floor of the house drunk, his hand holding the mobile phone was a little trembling, and his wife Aunt Zhang was lying on the bed, breathing rapidly and her face was red.
Uncle Kong was worried that his daughter-in-law would not answer his **, and he was worried in his heart, what he didn't expect was that his daughter-in-law would answer it quickly, Uncle Kong was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Is it Xiaoxia?" You haven't slept yet, have you? Can you come over right away? I have something to discuss with you. ”
Ma Xiaoxia didn't hear it for a long time, her father-in-law spoke to her in such a calm tone, and she thought it was very strange, she didn't know what her father-in-law was doing?
Ma Xiaoxia replied to Uncle Kong: "If you have anything to say, it's so late, I don't dare to walk at night alone." ”
Uncle Kong said, "What about Yuyang? Let him be your companion. ”
Ma Xiaoxia said: "Yuyang went to his grandmother's house and didn't come back at night. Dad, if there's anything you say, if you have to need me, I'll go over. ”
Uncle Kong said, "Come here, your mother-in-law is sick again, and I don't know how to deal with it." ”
Ma Xiaoxia heard that her mother-in-law was sick again, and she was in a hurry, she asked her father-in-law not to worry, she would be there immediately. Then, Ma Xiaoxia hurriedly put on her coat and went straight to Uncle Kong's house.
Ma Xiaoxia's house is only six or seven hundred meters away from Uncle Kong's house, and it didn't take long for Ma Xiaoxia to come to Uncle Kong's house. When Uncle Kong saw his daughter-in-law, it was like seeing a savior, and his hanging heart fell to the ground.
Ma Xiaoxia didn't bother to talk to Uncle Kong, and went straight to the bedroom. Her mother-in-law, Aunt Zhang, was still gasping for air, trembling up and down like chaff.
Ma Xiaoxia hurriedly found the medicine, poured another glass of warm water, and fed the medicine to her mother-in-law, who gradually returned to normal after taking the medicine. Ma Xiaoxia didn't leave immediately, she waited for her mother-in-law to fall asleep before leaving the bedroom and coming to the living room. At this time, Uncle Kong was already sitting on the sofa.
Uncle Kong looked at his daughter-in-law, smiled reluctantly and said, "Xiaoxia, since you are here, I have something to discuss with you, I don't know if you agree or not?" ”
Ma Xiaoxia said: "If you have something to say, you can say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree." ”
Uncle Kong said: "I want to hire you as a nanny to serve your mother-in-law, 3,000 yuan a month." ”
Ma Xiaoxia wanted to say, "You don't need to give money to serve your mother-in-law", but she thought about it and swallowed it back.
Ma Xiaoxia said to Uncle Kong seriously: "Three thousand is too little, add two thousand and I'll do it." ”
Uncle Kong didn't expect that his daughter-in-law would agree to this matter, but the daughter-in-law's big mouth was something that Uncle Kong didn't expect, Uncle Kong's bottom line was four thousand, and his daughter-in-law asked him to add two thousand, and Uncle Kong couldn't afford it.
Uncle Kong said to his daughter-in-law: "Add a thousand at most, if you agree, we will sign the contract immediately." ”
Ma Xiaoxia smiled secretly in her heart, she nodded and said, "For the sake of your father-in-law's face, four thousand is four thousand." ”
The daughter-in-law accepted this condition, and Uncle Kong found a contract and signed the contract with his daughter-in-law.
After signing the contract, Uncle Kong's face showed a smug smile, and he said in his heart, "My wife is taken care of, and I can go outside to be happy again." ”
Uncle Kong thought very beautifully, but he underestimated his daughter-in-law's IQ, and after a while, Uncle Kong learned the power of his daughter-in-law.
Uncle Kong is 71 years old this year, before his retirement, he was a small leader of a public institution, and after retirement, he could get a pension of more than 6,000 per month. Uncle Kong's wife is a retired worker from the enterprise, and her pension is 3,000 and dozens a month. The old couple has an income of more than 10,000 yuan a month, and their lives are very nourishing.
Especially Uncle Kong, since his retirement, he has become more and more chic, he has to drink a little wine three times a day, he can't look down on cheap wine at all, and if he wants to drink, he has to drink high-grade wine. has nothing to do, Uncle Kong also likes to party with old friends and old friends, in order to show that he is living a good life, Uncle Kong pays for nine times out of ten, and whoever fights with him will be angry at whom. Uncle Kong is surrounded by many people all day long, and the feeling of the stars holding the moon makes Uncle Kong fluttering.
Uncle Kong has a son and a daughter, the son is the elder brother, the daughter is the younger sister, and the brother and sister both have the ability. The son is the manager of a company who earns a lot of money, and he gives Uncle Kong a long face among relatives and friends. The daughter-in-law is a student of accounting, and used to be a supervisor of finance in a hotel, but since marrying Uncle Kong's son, she has resigned and is a housewife with peace of mind.
Uncle Kong's daughter also graduated from a prestigious university, found a good job after graduation, married a good husband, and didn't have to worry about Uncle Kong's life.
Uncle Kong's wife, who lived a hard life when she was a child, knows the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and has a lot of opinions about Uncle Kong's practice of spending money like running water.
My wife has advised Uncle Kong more than once to save more money and save more in case of emergency, but Uncle Kong disagrees. One winter, Uncle Kong went to the Northeast to see an old friend, and he saw that on the street in the Northeast, someone was very handsome in a mink coat, and when he got home, he also wanted to buy one, but his wife was very opposed.
My wife said, "Why are you wearing a mink coat?" Is it cold in here? The coldest time is less than minus 10 degrees, isn't it a waste for you to buy a mink coat? ”
Uncle Kong said that his wife has long hair and short knowledge, and he doesn't even understand the truth that "people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles". He spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a mink coat on the Internet without telling his wife. After the mail arrived, Uncle Kong put on a mink coat and asked his wife to see if he was handsome?
My wife was so angry with Uncle Kong that her teeth itched, but the money had already been spent, the coat had been bought, and my wife had no way to get angry.
That winter didn't give Uncle Kong face, and the weather was not very cold. Uncle Kong looked forward to the stars and the moon, and looked forward to the day when the temperature suddenly dropped to dozens of degrees below zero, and his mink coat came in handy. But time flies quickly, winter has passed in a blink of an eye, and Uncle Kong's mink coat has been kept in the closet, and he has not used it once.
Uncle Kong looked at the mink coat, disappointed and angry. On this day, he watched the news, and there were reports that next year is likely to be a warm winter, and Uncle Kong wants to sell the mink coat. But none of the relatives and friends around him were willing to buy it, and Uncle Kong was upset when he looked at the mink coat, so he put the coat in the basement. Later, the coat was full of bugs, and the mink coat of more than 10,000 yuan, Uncle Kong became garbage if he didn't wear it once.
Because Uncle Kong loves to show off and likes to pretend to be big, his wife quarrels with Uncle Kong a lot and gets angry, but Uncle Kong doesn't listen to his wife, he should go out to travel, he should wear a famous brand, he wears a famous brand, and his monthly salary is not enough for him to spend alone, Uncle Kong often reaches out with his children to ask for money.
At the beginning, the children responded to their requests, but later, they also resented Uncle Kong's behavior, and how much money was not enough for Uncle Kong to suffer like this. Slowly, the children stopped giving Uncle Kong money. Uncle Kong was very dissatisfied with his children. He quarreled with his son and daughter, and also blushed with his uncle and daughter-in-law, which made the family very discordant.
More than a year ago, Uncle Kong's wife had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and although her life was saved after rescue, she was left with very serious sequelae and could not take care of herself. Uncle Kong wants to stay at home to serve his wife, he can't go out if he wants to, he is very depressed, and he lives like a year.
One day, he called his son and daughter-in-law, daughter and aunt to his house.
Uncle Kong said: "Your life and today's happy life have the credit of your mother, if it wasn't for your mother who gave birth to you, you wouldn't have been able to come to this world, you are all literate people, raising children to prevent old age, you don't need me to say that you understand." Now that your mother is like this, it is time for you to repay her kindness for her nurturing, and from now on, the four of you will take turns to take care of your mother, and you will not let me do the tiring work of serving the sick alone. ”
It's not that the son and daughter-in-law, the daughter and the aunt are not without filial piety, and it's not that they don't want to serve the sick, but they know that Uncle Kong wants to hand over the burden to them, so that he has time to go outside and be happy.
Uncle Kong's age is not young, he walks around all day long, and his children are worried that Uncle Kong will have an accident. Also, Uncle Kong often goes to the restaurant, not to mention eating nonsense, and drinking is not enough, they are more worried about Uncle Kong's health. It just so happened that his mother was sick, and Uncle Kong couldn't go out if he wanted to, and the children wanted to take this opportunity to change Uncle Kong's bad habits.
The son first replied to Uncle Kong and said: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to serve my mother, but I'm busy with work and have no time, although my daughter-in-law doesn't have to go to work, but the big and small things in the family can't do without her at all, and the children also need her to take care of them, only you are an idler, so you can only be more tired." ”
The daughter continued: "Dad, my husband and I both work for others, and if we don't work for a day, we have no income, how can we live without income?" You're retired, and you're the only one who can take care of my mom. ”
The children all had legitimate reasons, and Uncle Kong couldn't count on them, so he thought of another way, and he spent money to hire a nanny to come back.
In order to save money, Uncle Kong asked someone to find a rural woman in the countryside who had no experience in nannys. This woman, who was in her forties and had nothing to do at home, heard that she had a salary of 4,000 a month for cooking, cleaning, and feeding the sick in one day.
Uncle Kong's pension plus his wife's pension is 10,000 yuan a month, except for 4,000 yuan per month for the nanny, buying oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and paying various living expenses, the rest is only two or three thousand. Uncle Kong used to be extravagant, and he suddenly had to calculate how to spend money, and he was very uncomfortable. Therefore, when the nanny was paid at the end of the month, Uncle Kong made something out of nothing and tried every means to find fault with the nanny.
In the end, Uncle Kong only gave the nanny a salary of 2,000 on the grounds that the nanny was unqualified to take care of his wife. The nanny didn't expect that Uncle Kong could talk and didn't count, she worked hard for a month, and only earned 2,000, so it was better to be idle at home and enjoy happiness, and she would leave after a month.
Let's put it this way, Uncle Kong has changed several nannies, none of whom can work for a long time. In the end, everyone knew Uncle Kong's personality, and if he wanted to find a nanny, no one wanted to come.
Without a nanny to serve his wife, Uncle Kong can't go out to be chic, and he is very worried. He wanted to ask his children for money, spend more money and hire a nanny to come back, but the children knew Uncle Kong's careful eye and didn't give Uncle Kong a dime at all.
Uncle Kong had no choice but to reduce the number of outings and stay at home to take care of his wife, who could not take care of himself.
That night, after serving his wife, Uncle Kong put his wife on the bed, and seeing that she fell asleep, Uncle Kong went out in a hurry. I hadn't drunk for two days, so Uncle Kong came to a small restaurant and asked for two dishes and a bottle of wine, and he poured himself a drink.
A bottle of wine went down, and Uncle Kong was dizzy and lightheaded. When he got home, he walked unsteadily and fell twice. When Uncle Kong got home, as soon as he walked into the house, he felt dizzy, his eyes were full of stars, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".
Uncle Kong staggered and tried to stand up, but his legs and feet were weak and he couldn't use his strength at all. At this time, Uncle Kong heard that his wife in the bedroom was gasping for air, the situation didn't seem right, Uncle Kong wanted to go to the bedroom to see the situation, but he couldn't stand up, he had more than enough strength to do so, and in a hurry, he called his daughter-in-law **.
That night, Yang Xiaoxia's husband was on a business trip, and when Yang Xiaoxia and her husband **, they received a ** from their father-in-law. Knowing that her mother-in-law was seriously ill, she hurried to Uncle Kong's house and fed her mother-in-law a few pills.
When she came to the living room, Uncle Kong said that she had something to discuss with Yang Xiaoxia, but Yang Xiaoxia never thought that her father-in-law wanted to hire her as a nanny to serve her mother-in-law, this kind of thing, only Uncle Kong could think of and do it.
Yang Xiaoxia will calculate and agree to be a nanny for 4,000 a month. Uncle Kong is very happy, and his daughter-in-law is more relieved than outsiders to serve his wife. With a daughter-in-law to serve his wife, Uncle Kong can go to ** if he wants to.
However, Uncle Kong was happy too early, Yang Xiaoxia was fighting wits and courage with Uncle Kong, and it was Uncle Kong who failed in the end.
That afternoon, Uncle Kong was in the park, researching with a few old men and old ladies what color clothes to wear to dance square dance at night, when suddenly his mobile phone rang, and it was his daughter-in-law calling.
After Uncle Kong answered, his daughter-in-law said loudly: "Dad, you come back immediately, your good daughter, my sister-in-law, she wants to beat me, you come back one step later, one of the two of us may be killed by the other party." ”
The relationship between the daughter-in-law and the daughter has always been very good, they get along very harmoniously, like sisters, why did they suddenly turn their faces? Uncle Kong doesn't care about money, but he values feelings, especially between relatives.
Uncle Kong trotted home.
The daughter and daughter-in-law were arguing loudly, and when they saw Uncle Kong, the daughter said, "Dad, are you partial?" is to take care of my mother, I have 4,000 yuan a month, such a good thing, why don't you think about me? I also want to be a nanny for my mother, and you quit my sister-in-law and give me such a good errand. ”
The daughter-in-law said: "Dad, we have a contract, if you breach the contract and hand over the care of my mother-in-law to my sister-in-law, I won't agree, and I won't finish with you." ”
Uncle Kong comforted his daughter and asked her to wait, and when his daughter-in-law's contract expired, he hired his daughter as a nanny. But the daughter was quite unreasonable, so Uncle Kong immediately dismissed his daughter-in-law and replaced her.
The daughter also said that if Uncle Kong didn't want to dismiss his daughter-in-law, then he would also hire her as a nanny, and give her 4,000 a month.
How can Uncle Kong have so much money to hire two nannies together? He still thinks it's expensive to hire one, and it's a last resort.
When her daughter saw that Uncle Kong didn't agree to her, she quarreled with her sister-in-law again. The two of them refused to give in to each other, and they even scuffled together. Uncle Kong saw that his daughter and daughter-in-law had become enemies in a blink of an eye, and he regretted hiring his daughter-in-law as a nanny.
Uncle Kong shouted: "You stop me, listen, I won't hire anyone, you all go, from now on, I won't go anywhere, just serve my wife at home, so as not to make the family unharmonious and unpeaceful." ”
The daughter and daughter-in-law asked Uncle Kong at the same time, "What do you say?" ”
Uncle Kong said: "Count, I went out alone and was happy, but the family was not harmonious, and I was not in a good mood as if my family was not angry. You too, you must learn to be humble to each other, not to be open to money, and not to think only about yourself. ”
The daughter and daughter-in-law came over together and took Uncle Kong's hand.
The daughter said: "Dad, we just acted for you, and my sister-in-law asked me to cooperate with her, we did this in the hope that you don't go around all day, you are old, and you always go out late and come back, we are worried about you." ”
Uncle Kong knew that his previous way of life was selfish, he only cared about whether he was happy or not, but he didn't think about his family, and he was ashamed of his behavior.
Uncle Kong made up his mind to change his mind.
Since then, Uncle Kong has stayed at home to take care of his wife, and the children who have time will come over to take care of their mother with Uncle Kong, and the family will work together, although Uncle Kong's wife is sick, but she is also very happy in her old age.
Some people only think about themselves in life, and as long as they are happy in their hearts, they don't care about the feelings of others. Such people forget one point:People are interrelated, everyone is a whole, in the case of the overall life is not good, it is difficult for individuals to protect themselves, and they will follow everyone unhappy and unhappy.
Uncle Kong is right to think about a dashing old age, but he ignores an important point:Happiness for everyone can only be guaranteed if every member of the family does their part. Uncle Kong doesn't care about other people's moods, he only cares about his own feelings, and his selfish behavior not only does not make himself happy, on the contrary, his life is unhappy, and others are also implicated. The family is worried about him, the family is not at peace, Uncle Kong has also reduced his living standard because he spends money to hire a nanny, and he has not got the good results he wants.
Between people, between family members, between parents and children, only when everyone is each other's dependence, and the heart is always for the sake of the family, can we create a good family atmosphere, and live in a good family atmosphere, in order to have a good mood, and only then can we feel that life is meaningful.
