In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again. On this day, Wu Zhengqing received a call from Wu's mother, saying that she and Wu's father were going to Sijiucheng to celebrate the New Year with them.
When you move to a new house, your parents should come to celebrate the New Year. Even if Wu Mu is partial, she is still the mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
Wu Zhengqing said: "Okay, I will ask my aunt at home to clean up the room later."
Wu Mu smiled and said, "You can clean up one more room and come out. Your second brother's house is also ready. It just so happens that your second sister-in-law has a holiday during the Chinese New Year. Let's go and see it together then."
Wu Zhengqing doesn't want Yan Jia to live in his own home, and now he has a perfect excuse: "Mom, didn't you say that the second brother's house is ready? Now that he comes to Sijiu City, he will naturally live in his own home."
Wu Mu's face changed slightly: "What do you mean, you won't let your second sister-in-law and Pengpeng live in your house?"
She missed her eldest grandson and originally planned to go to Brother Wu's place to celebrate the New Year. However, Yan Jia said that the house in Sijiu City was ready, and the family was going to a new house in Sijiu City to celebrate the New Year. It was used as a greenhouse. He also told her
It's been a year since Wu Zhengqing moved, and it's time for their parents to visit.
Wu's mother thought that the house was decorated by relatives invited by Yan Jia, and there must be many imperfections. She stayed with Wu Zhengqing first, and then checked there to make sure nothing was missing before moving in. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengqing
will refuse.
Wu Zhengqing admitted directly: "I don't want her to live in my house. If possible, I don't even want her to come in."
Wu's mother was very angry and said: "Wu Zhengqing, what nonsense are you talking about? She is your second sister-in-law, and she is the sister-in-law of your second brother Ming Yuan."
Wu Zhengqing said unceremoniously: "In my eyes, he is just a troublemaker, causing discord among brothers in my family."
He didn't tell Brother Wu about moving, but he found out about it from Brother Wu.
"Do you still have parents and brothers in your eyes?"
Wu Zhengqing showed no mercy at all: "Mom, if you want to protect that woman, that's your business. Don't drag me along. I really won't accept her behavior. If you have any dissatisfaction, let the second brother just hit her."
Call."
Wu Mu was so angry that her heart ached: "Lao San, you are like this, how can I count on you when I get old and can't move?"
Wu Zhengqing said: "Mom, don't worry. When you get old and can't move, the three families will take turns taking care of you. When it's my turn, I will definitely take good care of you."
He always thought that it would not be easy for Wu's mother to pull the three of them, so even if Xiu'er was dissatisfied with his daughter's injustice, he always comforted her. He even thought about waiting for Wu's father to retire and move to Sijiu City to live. After all, the medical conditions here are good.
But what Wu Mu said at the end of last year completely chilled him.
"What do you mean, three families take turns taking care of you?"
Wu Zhengqing said this without any guilt: "According to the old stereotype, the eldest son supports his parents. But now in the new society, we don't talk about that. It is the responsibility and obligation of every child to support their parents. But dad is so healthy,
It’s okay to live another twenty or thirty years, but it’s too early to say this now.”
Wu Mu hung up the phone directly.
Wu Zhengqing put down the phone with an ugly look on his face. Because Wu's mother didn't give him an accurate answer, he didn't tell Sanya about it. But he didn't expect that Wu's father called him on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month and asked him to arrive at the train station in three days.
I picked him up and told him the arrival time.
"Several people?"
Father Wu said: "Your mother, me, and Wu Peng."
Wu Zhengqing's face looked better when he heard that Yan Jia was not there: "Okay, I will pick you up at the station then."
Wu Zhengqing told Sanya about this in the evening: "At the beginning of the month, my mother called me and said she was coming. I argued with her for a few words and then she hung up the phone. I thought she wouldn't come. Xiu'er, please let me know tomorrow.
Auntie is tidying up the main house in the backyard."
Sanya was silent for a moment and said: "Zhengqing, if she goes too far, I won't tolerate it."
Wu Zhengqing told her not to bear it: "This is our home. If she wants to say something unpleasant, don't pay attention to it. If it goes too far, let me tell her."
Three days passed quickly, and Wu Zhengqing drove to the train station to pick him up.
Wu Zhengqing frowned as he saw Wu's father carrying large and small bags and Wu's mother carrying the chubby Wu Peng on her back. Even seven-year-old children could go out holding hands. But he knew that Wu's mother wouldn't listen even if he said it.
, only took the package from Father Wu.
Wu Mu saw him coming alone and asked unhappily: "Where is your wife?"
"The store is busy and she can't leave. Mom, my car is over there, let's go there quickly!"
When they arrived at the parking place, Wu Zhengqing first put the people into the car and then put the things in the trunk.
As soon as Wu Zhengqing sat in the driving seat, he heard Wu's mother ask: "This car is better than the one your dad rides in. How much did it cost?"
Father Wu didn't like hearing this: "You don't know how to subsidize them, why are you asking?"
When Wu's mother heard this, she became angry: "Should I subsidize him? I only have two hundred yuan a month, and I have to buy rice, vegetables and other things. Where can I get the money to subsidize him?"
Wu Zhengqing was happy when he heard this, which showed that Wu's father really had his salary in hand and no longer allowed his mother to support his second brother's family.
Wu Peng pointed to the pendant hanging on the car and said, "Grandma, I want stars."
Wu Mu saw it was a star pendant and said, "Zhengqing, give this pendant to Pengpeng."
Wu Zhengqing did not give it to him, saying that it was Miaomiao's favorite jewelry and was hung in the car specially. A pendant was actually nothing, so he gave it to him, but Wu Peng's attitude of asking for it as a matter of course made him feel that the child was spoiled.
Wu Mu said: "You give it to Pengpeng first, and then you go buy one for Miaomiao tomorrow."
Wu Zhengqing said unhappily: "Mom, a pendant is a trivial matter, but when it comes to something you like, you need it. You can't get used to this bad habit."
"Grandma, I want stars, I want stars."
Father Wu felt that what he said made sense, and said with a straight face: "Pengpeng, if you keep messing around, I will hang you up and beat you."
Wu Mu was not happy, so she pushed him and said, "Why are you scaring the child?"
Father Wu said with a straight face: "Give him whatever he wants. When the day comes when he asks for the moon in the sky, you will pick it for him too. Can you pick it for him?"
Seeing that Wu's father was angry, Wu Sheng huddled in Wu's mother's arms and stopped talking.
After arriving home, Father Wu was a little surprised when he saw the vermilion door: "Your house looks very spacious, how big is it?"
Wu's mother stayed at Tian Shao's place for a month and knew the general appearance of their house. Wu's father came to Sijiu City twice, both times on business, and stayed in guest houses.
Wu Zhengqing said: "There are two courtyards, each with six rooms. Parents, should you go back to the house to rest first, or eat something first and then go back to rest."
"You're not hungry yet, let's go back to the house and rest first."
