Wang Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly: "Grandma's health is getting worse day by day, and she can no longer take care of herself. She relies entirely on my parents to take care of her."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Are you satisfied with the nurse Yang Yang hired before? Is she serious about her work?"
A few days ago, she quietly gave Xue Yang some advice, asking him to pay for a caregiver to help reduce the burden on his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"It's pretty good." Wang Xiaoxiao explained: "Fortunately, she helped me, otherwise my parents wouldn't have been able to survive. My parents are also elderly, and they are considered old people themselves. If it is ten days and a half, they can barely survive.
. But day after day, I stayed up late and was tired, and I fell ill one after another. After the nurse came over, she helped with meals, cleaning, etc., which reduced the burden on my parents and allowed them to take a breather occasionally.
rest."
"That's good." Xue Ling reminded: "If necessary, you can help hire one more."
"No, no." Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "My parents would not agree. They originally wanted to pay, but the nurse sister said that Yang Yang had already paid her salary. The payment was more than half a year's salary. My parents felt very sorry.
"
Xue Ling said "Hey!" and said: "We are all family members, why are you so polite. Originally, you and Yangyang, as juniors, have to help and be filial to the elderly. But you are too far away. One has to make money to support the family, and the other has to take care of the family.
Children, they can’t be separated at all. If you work hard, you have to at least help with some money, otherwise you won’t feel so good about it.”
"That's what I thought at first." Wang Xiaoxiao explained depressedly: "But my parents didn't agree. They said it was not easy for Yangyang to make money and told me not to spend money randomly. I even contacted the agency, but my mother scolded me so I didn't dare
Keep in touch.”
Xue Ling chuckled: "Some things have to be done openly before your parents will be happy to accept them."
"Thank you for reminding me." Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "After having a caregiver, my parents feel a lot more relaxed and have enough time to take care of themselves. In fact, my mother originally had many brothers and sisters, but unfortunately... she is willing to take care of her.
The only people who paralyzed my grandma were my parents."
Xue Ling praised warmly: "Your parents are filial piety and deserve your respect and learning!"
Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes were red and she whispered: "When grandma was first hospitalized, my uncles and aunts were still willing to visit the old man. Later, as time went by, the number of people gradually decreased. The aunts all said that the old man should be sent to a nursing home.
, the expenses are shared equally among all the children. But grandma can no longer take care of herself and cannot live without people 24 hours a day. How can she be sent to a nursing home? My parents disagree and say that everyone takes turns taking care of her. Others make excuses and say they are too busy.
No, some said they were busy at work, others said they wanted to take care of their grandchildren. My parents had no choice but to take grandma back to our home. In the past, there were people who were willing to spend some money to help buy medicine for grandma, but as time went by, they didn’t even have any money at all.
I was willing to pay for it. My parents had to use their retirement funds to buy medicine for my grandma. They usually live frugally and don’t dare to spend money randomly. My sister and I wanted to help, but they refused to let me go, saying that it was the responsibility of the previous generation.
There is no need for us sisters."
"Your parents feel sorry for you." Xue Ling sighed: "Taking care of the elderly is very hard, and they don't want to add to your burden."
Wang Xiaoxiao sobbed: "I understand...it's just that seeing them working so hard but refusing to accept our help makes me feel really sad as a child."
"I understand your feelings very well." Xue Ling lowered his voice: "If you need to pay or hire people, let Yang Yang do it. Tell your parents that Yang Yang has successfully started a business again and made a lot of money, so let them spend it as much as they want.
, there’s no need to save it for him.”
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"My parents were even more reluctant to spend his money... My parents were happy enough to have a caregiver and praised him all the time. This time I had a problem with him, and when my parents found out... they scolded me.
I’m so pissed off because I’m too pretentious and thought-provoking, and I keep saying nice things to Yangyang.”
"It's Yangyang's fault, I can't blame you." Xue Yang did not stand on his son's side at all, and said warmly: "It would be great if I can help your parents. They trust and recognize Yangyang so much, you have to tell Yangyang everything.
He must be filial to his mother-in-law and father-in-law."
Wang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "He...he has always been very filial to my parents. No matter what is sold in the live broadcast room recently, he will ask the people below to send a copy to my parents."
Xue Ling chuckled: "You have to help him check whether it is suitable for your parents. Don't send it randomly!"
Wang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and snickered: "Last time, I sent a few boxes of imported chewing gum. My parents didn't even know what they were. I sent a box of cosmetics half a month ago. Fortunately, my sister was there, so she put them all in her bag and took them back.
.”
"By the way, how is your sister doing lately?" Xue Ling asked with concern, "Has you found someone yet?"
"...I blew it again." Wang Xiaoxiao explained awkwardly: "The men I met on the blind date market are all mixed, and there are all kinds of crooks. Originally, there was a pretty good one last time, but his family conditions were too complicated. I
My sister finally refused. The man didn’t have his own house. He lived with his parents, grandparents, brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces. He had his own private room, but the big family was very messy and complicated. My sister discussed that he could move after getting married.
When I came to live in her house, the man was too chauvinistic and said he couldn't let others misunderstand that he wanted to marry into our house, so he refused. Not only that, but before my sister confirmed her relationship with him, his family started making all kinds of noises.
, he would go to my sister’s work to see her, and then he would go to our home, making various inquiries and evaluations about our family. My sister was very disgusted and broke up with him.”
Xue Ling nodded understandingly: "Your family is very simple and the family atmosphere is good. It's not surprising that your sister doesn't like that kind of family."
"Alas!" Wang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "My sister is not young now, she is getting older year by year. We are twins, born almost at the same time. My children have all gone to kindergarten, but she is still alone. My parents
Not only am I busy taking care of my grandma, but I also have to worry about why my younger daughter hasn’t gotten married yet. Seeing that my sister has become an older leftover girl, I don’t know what to do.”
"Anxiety will not solve the problem." Xue Ling said warmly: "Marriage requires fate. When fate comes, everything will fall into place. But her right man has not yet arrived, so she can only continue to wait."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly: "But... I don't know how long it will take! She herself is very open-minded and feels that marriage cannot be compromised, let alone compromise. Unless it is the person she really likes, she will definitely not marry.
"
"Yeah." Xue Ling nodded in agreement: "She is right to think so."
Wang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and whispered: "My mother said that if it was a few decades ago, in their time, this was her basic requirement. But in today's blind date market, it is the highest requirement, and it is not easy to meet.
