Shan You also felt ashamed and whispered: "If it were me, I definitely can't do it.
I’m so exhausted even raising two kids, let alone starting a career!”
Wang Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "In the past, people of the older generation were busy every day, having to go to work and take care of their children. They used briquettes at home and everything was cooked slowly.
Clothes had to be washed by hand, and they even had to fetch water to drink... I don’t know how they survived.”
"But they still survived!"
Shan You lowered his voice: "In such a comparison, we are really weak."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "My mother said that she used to have to go to work when she was pregnant. She would go up and down the stairs with a big belly every day, and she would do all the work she could do by herself.
After she gave birth to our sisters, it was she and her father who raised us up while working.
She said that I don’t have to work now, I have four children and three nannies, professional chefs will prepare meals and snacks, and housekeeping staff will do the cleaning, and the elders in the family will help with the children whenever they are free.
She said she couldn’t figure out why I kept saying I was too busy and tired all day long. She didn’t know if it was because it was difficult to take care of children now or because I was too pretentious.”
"We are too pretentious."
Shan You laughed and told the truth: "Isn't it the same for me?
When the child was young, there was a nanny and a nanny at home. Later, the parents-in-law helped take care of the child. Now the nanny still does all the housework."
The two looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed on their faces.
At this time, Wang Xiaoxiao's cell phone rang.
She glanced at him and whispered depressedly: "Yangyang said he won't be back for dinner because he has something to do and won't get home until about ten o'clock."
Shan You is used to it, but he is not surprised: "The one in my family rarely gets home before ten o'clock. If he can come back before midnight, it is considered good!"
Wang Xiaoxiao sighed quietly: "No, I have to lose weight and exercise hard. I must lose weight, otherwise I may be rejected by my husband one day."
"I think so too."
Shan You couldn't help but sing a classic line: "Falling in love with someone who doesn't come home, waiting for a door that doesn't open..." Xue Ling was wearing a straw hat and hurried past with a lot of weeds in his arms.
Go into the big trash can in the corner.
Then, she walked back quickly.
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and shouted: "Mom, take a rest for a while, come here to enjoy the cool air."
Xue Ling smiled and took off his gloves and hat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
“The weather is not very hot yet, but I can’t help but sweat when I’m exposed to the sun.
Why don't you go over for tea?
There is Biluochun over there at the pavilion."
Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I drink too much."
"I don't want it either."
Shan You smiled and said: "The night is long, and if I can't sleep, I feel it will be even longer.
It’s better not to drink, so as not to drink too much and lose sleep.”
Xue Ling sat on a small stone pier nearby, fanning his big straw hat.
"When I was your age, I wished I could have a little more time to sleep every day. I drank tea just to refresh myself and prevent myself from feeling sleepy all the time.
As long as it can get on the pillow, you can fall asleep in no time.
Just sit down and drink tea, try to drink as much as possible, and try to feel better."
The two young mothers looked at each other, dumbfounded as they discussed their troubles.
After hearing this, Xue Ling only found it funny and laughed out loud.
"If Xiaohuzi or Yangyang were the kind of playboys, you might need to worry or be worried like this, but they are not at all.
They don't have that much time to spend with you because they are really too busy and have no time.
What are you thinking?"
Shan You blushed and hesitated: "Auntie, he is... different from before. He is not even active in having three children with me."
"It's beyond your capabilities!"
After all, Xue Ling is an elderly aunt, and she doesn’t have too many taboos when speaking. She says: “Regardless of men and women, as long as they have passed the childbearing period and are busy and stressed at work, being intimate with a couple is no longer the same thing as when you were young.
So positive.”
"Mom, were you and Dad like this before?"
Wang Xiaoxiao asked boldly.
Xue Ling nodded: "Yes! It's not just us, most couples are like this.
What we are talking about is universal, not everyone is the same, there are exceptions to everything.
In fact, it is even worse for young people today. After all, our work pressure and financial pressure at that time were not as great as yours.
When you are in love, it is normal to be affectionate and affectionate.
After getting married, having a baby, and being busy with work and kids every day, my mind and energy are taken up, plus some miscellaneous things, which is enough to keep people busy.
When I have time, I just want to have a good sleep or be in a daze, playing with my mobile phone. How can I find any charming thoughts when I am so tired!"
Shan You echoed: "It's the same! Every time I go home, it's late at night, I take a quick shower, then I lie on the bed and check my phone, then I fall back and fall asleep. The child has gone to school and he hasn't woken up yet.
Occasionally I can't help but talk to him, and he'll complain that he's under a lot of pressure."
Wang Xiaoxiao pouted: "Yang Yang is about the same.
He went home a little early, but every time he came back he was exhausted. The children were crawling on top of him, and he would coax them lazily.
Many times the child hasn't slept yet, and he himself has slept like a dead pig."
Xue Ling understood very well: "I heard from the third child that Yangyang seems to be cooperating with Aqing to open a garment factory recently.
People's energy is limited. They have to take care of the company and open a new factory. They are so busy outside. When they get home, of course they just want to fall down and sleep."
"I'm always worried that he dislikes my poor figure."
Wang Xiaoxiao told the truth: “Occasionally when I see myself in the mirror, I can’t accept it.
Some girlfriends say that men are all big pigs. If the flowers in the house are no longer fragrant, they will naturally go out to eat them, and not just one or two. The probability is very high.
After listening to it too much, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.”
Xue Ling smiled and told the truth: "There must be men who cheat and love to eat. There are enough of them on TV.
Ordinary people's families are peaceful and stable, with nothing surprising and interesting. Naturally, something special must be broadcast, otherwise the audience will not be interested in watching it.
In the past, cars and horses were slow, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime.
Now is the colorful world, and there are too many temptations out there.”
"Mom, do many of your male friends or colleagues cheat on you?"
Wang Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Have you ever calculated it?
You don’t meet many, right?”
Xue Ling thought about it seriously and replied: "Probably one or two out of ten people.
In addition, men with more traditional ideas generally do not cheat or divorce. On the contrary, the cheating and divorce rates of the younger generation are higher.
Truly successful people, whether they are men or women, will handle their marriage relationship calmly and will not betray their marriage at every turn, nor will they divorce easily."
"Why?"
Shan You asked funnyly: "Do successful and wealthy people also need to be afraid of divorce?
Isn’t that the case?”
Xue Ling smiled and shook his head: "There are indeed a few such people around me, but they are not really afraid of divorce.
They just don't want to mess up the family. Maintaining stability in the family is only good for them and has no harm.
After weighing the pros and cons, it is natural to choose to maintain the stability of the family."
