Zhao Kang was busy in the office when a colleague came over and said that his father was here and waiting at the gate. His first reaction was that it was impossible, but he still went out.
"dad……"
Father Zhao is a very serious person. He said, "Why didn't you call and tell your family when Aihua was pregnant??"
Zhao Kang smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I called back, but my mother hung up the phone when she heard it was her daughter."
When Zhao's father heard this, he blamed him: "It's not like you don't know your mother's temperament. She has always been soft-spoken rather than tough-minded. The tougher your attitude towards your wife, the less she wants to see your wife and children. In the end, you are still in a dilemma.
.”
In fact, Zhao's father was also a little patriarchal, but not as serious as Zhao's mother. He had persuaded his wife several times before, saying that Li Aihua could still have a baby and not to worry. He persuaded Zhao's mother several times to soften his attitude, but Li Aihua came back without the child during the Chinese New Year and was annoyed.
Mother Zhao. And he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he didn't stop trying to persuade her. But he didn't expect that the relationship would become more and more tense, and it would end up like this.
Zhao Kang said unhappily: "Dad, Li Aihua is a bit stubborn, but mom's attitude is too hurtful. Isn't my daughter not a human being, not my flesh and blood?"
Father Zhao didn't want to worry about this and said, "Go and ask for leave and take me to visit the two children."
After hearing this, Zhao Kang felt much better instantly. When Xuanxuan was born, his parents did not come, which aroused great dissatisfaction with his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Li Aihua. This time, his father came, hoping to ease the relationship.
The day after the engagement, Pei Yue and Tian Shao took the three little ones to the county town. In the morning, they took the three little ones to the supply and marketing cooperative and the bookstore. In the afternoon, she went to the Li family to visit Li Aihua.
Father Li and Mother Li both had to go to work, and Sister-in-law Li had to take care of Xuanxuan, wash and cook, and it was impossible to take care of the little one anymore. Originally, Li Aihua was going to invite someone else, but the little one was very good after eating and sleeping, so
I didn't invite anyone.
Sister-in-law Li heard a knock on the door, opened it and saw that it was Tian Shao. She immediately smiled and said, "As soon as I came back yesterday afternoon, Aihua asked me when you would come to see her."
She took two days off to help cook at Tian's house, and Li's mother took two days off to take care of Li Aihua at home. In just two days, she was so tired that her back ached, but she still felt comfortable going to work.
Li Aihua saw her and asked with a smile: "Why didn't Pei Yue come with you?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Zhao Kang is not here, what did he do up here? He sent me downstairs and went back, but I guess he didn't go home but went to find Zhao Kang."
After saying this, Tian Shao moved a stool and sat next to him.
As soon as she sat down, Li Aihua said: "You know, his father came yesterday."
"who?"
"Dad Zhao Kang, my father-in-law."
Tian Shao had always heard Li Aihua complain about Zhao's mother before, and rarely mentioned Zhao's father: "Your mother-in-law didn't come, he came alone?"
Hearing this, Li Aihua sneered and said: "The day Jingjing was born, Zhao Kang called back. But when my mother-in-law heard that it was a daughter again, she hung up the phone. Zhao Kang was so angry that he couldn't say no
Speak up."
Tian Shao was surprised and said: "He told you all these things?"
Li Aihua laughed and said: "It's not like he is weak, so why would he tell me this? Someone else told me."
This other person could only be someone from the Public Security Bureau, or even a friend of Zhao Kang. However, this was a matter between the couple, and Tian Shao did not want to say more.
Tian Shao said: "Your father-in-law should express his feelings, right?"
Li Aihua nodded and said, "He gave me 100 yuan and a few milk coupons. He also apologized to me, saying that he was on a business trip when Xuanxuan was born and therefore didn't come over. I hope I can forgive him."
"One hundred yuan? This red envelope is quite big."
Li Aihua nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't expect it either, but I just accepted it. Otherwise, I would have benefited the boss and his family in vain."
She won't fight for anything, but she won't refuse if it's given to her. Raising children requires a lot of money, so the little you can get is worth it.
"What do you think?"
Li Aihua said: "He was indeed on a business trip when Xuanxuan was born and came back half a month later. But if you are really serious, you can come and see the child after the business trip!"
She was very resentful towards Zhao's mother, but Zhao's father's words were okay, at least he didn't say any unpleasant words and didn't show any shame to her.
Tian Shao knew that she was resentful and said: "There is an old saying that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Since your father-in-law has apologized to you, don't argue with him, otherwise it will be Zhao Kang who will have a difficult time."
Li Aihua hummed and said, "I know, so I entertained him well yesterday. Zhao Kang was extremely happy yesterday."
She knew that Zhao Kang kept silent, but she still felt uncomfortable because her relationship with her parents-in-law was so tense. Now that her father-in-law came to visit the children on his own initiative, for her husband's sake, she didn't care about the past. Of course, it was limited to her father-in-law.
, forget about her mother-in-law.
Tian Shao nodded and brought the topic to makeup. She asked, "Are you still doing this?"
Li Aihua shook his head and said: "After the New Year, I did three orders and stopped doing them again. Now that I am pregnant and have to work, my body cannot bear it."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "You are right. Nothing is more important than your body. In fact, there are many ways to make money, and you don't necessarily have to put makeup on people."
Li Aihua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked: "If you have any other ideas, tell me quickly?"
If there was any other way, she would not be willing to do makeup for others. Not only did some people in her work unit feel that she was willing to be humble, her parents also felt that her face was shameless, and even Zhao Kang was shunned.
Tian Shao said: "I told Zhao Kang before that old objects will be very valuable in the future. If you have the opportunity to collect a few of them, of course they must be genuine."
Zhao Kang has a wide range of opportunities, and antiques are not valuable now. As long as he has the determination to get a few genuine ones now, it shouldn't be difficult. If he can sell them in twenty or thirty years, they will be worth a lot of money.
Li Aihua asked doubtfully: "Xiao Shao, will those old objects really be valuable in the future?"
Tian Shao said: "Antiques from the golden age of troubled times. As long as they are old objects from before the Qing Dynasty, they are valuable, especially royal objects and celebrity calligraphy and paintings, which are priceless."
Tian Shao had said these words to the couple before, but neither of them listened. But now, Li Aihua was convinced by Tian Shao. She said, "Okay, I will listen to you and let people secretly search for old objects."
With."
After chatting for a while, Tian Shao was ready to go back.
Li Aihua grabbed her and asked: "Xiao Shao, your sister-in-law said she would stop doing this by the end of this year. Your sister-in-law recommended someone to me, who is her sister-in-law. Xiao Shao, you are familiar with her family members.
?"
Tian Shao shook his head. Neither she nor the original person had ever come into contact with Sister-in-law Li's sister-in-law.
Li Aihua could trust Mrs. Li, but he couldn't trust her vision: "Xiao Shao, is there anyone in Tianjia Village who you think is a good candidate?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "I am only familiar with the people at home, but I don't know what the people outside are like. If you ask me about this, you might as well ask my mother."
Li Aihua touched his head: "Look, I don't have enough brain power after giving birth. I'll ask Aunt Li when I'm out of confinement."
