"You said it's not cold, but look at your hands, which are cold as ice pricks. There's no warmth left. Come on, let's go home. It's warm at home."
As she spoke, the old lady turned to her son and said, "Hurry back to the house and open the fire sealing lid of the stove, and then add a piece of briquettes inside."
After the old lady gave instructions to her son, she also told the man: "Don't be stunned. Go back to the house and look through the box and take out the set of cotton-padded clothes I put under the box."
Old man Qi didn't expect that his own affairs were involved here. He was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "Ah, I'll go right away."
At this time, the woman who had already learned the cause and effect from Qi Mao, who had trotted back in front of everyone, also started working with a big belly.
The old lady here had just pulled Ma Daya in. As the most discerning person in the family, Qi Gang's mother took the initiative and said before her mother-in-law could speak: "Mom, I've poured the hot water, you guys go and scald your hands and feet.
To avoid frostbite."
Seeing her daughter-in-law busy with her big belly and her son standing there like a fool, the old lady couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at her son and resisted the temptation to yell at him: "You're such a big man.
I’ll just watch your wife working there!”
"Ah!" Only then did Qi Mao react. He quickly stepped forward to grab the pot from his wife's hand: "My wife, put it down quickly. I'll do it. I'll do it."
"No, no, it's just a matter of being the leader, I can do it myself."
Seeing Qi Mao's hurried look, and thinking of how aggrieved he had been when he complained to her just now, the woman actually felt distressed.
She knew that her man was sometimes like a child who had not grown up. Many people would think that marrying such a person meant worrying about their life and that they would have to worry about him for the rest of their lives.
But she didn't think so. Although her man was a little childish at times, he still lacked all the responsibilities that a man should have.
Apart from anything else, at least when it comes to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, my husband always handles it well and has never allowed himself to be wronged in this regard.
Of course, this has a lot to do with my mother-in-law’s good nature.
But this cannot take away the contribution of her men. You have to know that when teeth and tongues collide, she and her mother sometimes quarrel. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not related by blood, so they all rely on a man to act as a link in the middle.
After staying under the same roof every day for a long time, even two people with the best relationship will inevitably have some verbal disputes.
My man usually seems unreliable, but he is very good at handling this kind of thing, and he can often make her and her mother-in-law happy with just a few words.
I have never been like some men who try to suppress their wives and keep saying that it is not easy for their own mother, so they should ask their daughter-in-law to work more and let their own mother rest.
Every time a woman hears such words, she wants to laugh. The difficulty in cooperating with his own mother is all caused by his daughter-in-law.
Before he married his daughter-in-law, his own mother did nothing less. Why didn't he say that it was not easy for his own mother at that time?
Well, you married a daughter-in-law and saw that it is not easy for the bride to come, so what have you done?
It's not just you, your biological mother, who is unfilial as a son, it's your father who's inconsiderate. What does it have to do with your daughter-in-law, who just came into the house two days ago?
Just for this reason, a woman feels that she is marrying the right person.
Thinking of this, the woman quickly spoke for Qi Mao: "Mom, I've been fine for a long time. It's not Qi Mao's fault. I wanted to move.
Besides, didn’t the doctor also say that after stabilizing the fetus, you don’t need to lie in bed every day? It’s best to move around more so that the baby can be born easily.”
Seeing his wife speaking for him, Qi Mao showed a moved expression: "Daughter-in-law, it's better that you be nice to me."
The son's exaggerated expression left the old lady speechless. She couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and said in disgust: "It's so ugly!"
He also taught his daughter-in-law earnestly: "He is no longer a child. Don't spoil him all the time. Look at what he is used to now. He is not diligent in all aspects of his life and does not distinguish between grains and grains. You can't even criticize him. Every time you say something, he gets angry."
"No way, I think he is quite diligent. Mom, please take Daya to have her feet hotted." The woman quickly changed the subject, for fear that her man would act like a child after listening to her mother-in-law's words and start to yell at her.
Cry.
"Okay, okay, I understand. You two are willing to fight and suffer. Old lady, I am the bad one among you." The old lady snorted softly, and then led Ma Daya into her house.
inside.
After entering, he smiled and explained to Ma Daya: "Hey, I'm so worried. I only have a son. You think he is such an adult, why doesn't he have the heart of an adult?"
Ma Daya understood, but just smiled and said nothing.
She didn't miss the disgust and unsupportive look on her aunt's face when she saw her daughter-in-law protecting her son, but she also saw the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but turn up in spite of her disgust.
Ma Daya thought about what happened just now and thought about it. She thought that if her son could have a daughter-in-law who would always protect him, she would be very happy.
After the old lady finished speaking, she asked Ma Daya to soak her feet.
Just looking at her tattered and dirty clothes, and looking at the old lady's sheets that were a little shabby but very clean, Ma Daya hesitated. She pointed to the chair next to the bed and expressed her
Just sit on a chair and soak your feet.
Seeing her embarrassment, the old lady said, "What's the point of being polite to my aunt? You can just sit on the bed and wash yourself."
Looking at the clothes on her body, the old lady quickly took out the cotton-padded clothes that Old Man Qi had put on the bed: "You soak your feet first, go to remove the air conditioner, and when your hands and feet are warm, put on these clothes first."
superior.
This dress was worn by me when I was young, and it is a bit worn out. You can make do with it for now, and I will make you a new one when the weather gets better."
Hearing this, Ma Daya shook her head vigorously: "No... no condom is needed, this is already good."
After soaking her feet, Ma Daya put on the cotton-padded clothes that the old lady found for her.
Feeling the warmth radiating from the inside out, Ma Daya felt a little dazed for a moment. She really found her aunt, and her aunt accepted her and gave her such nice and warm clothes.
Ma Daya couldn't believe that this was true for a moment. She pinched her arm secretly and gave up her choice after feeling the pain.
The old lady saw her little move and said nothing. She just turned her back to arrange the clothes Ma Daya had just changed, but she couldn't help but shed two tears.
On such a day, with only these clothes on, how did this child get here all the way?
What worries the old lady the most is how her sister died, and how could she let her child end up in this situation?
