It was more than half a month since the child was born, and he was full of energy. When Ding Haiyang opened the door, he was crying at the top of his lungs.
The room was filled with the smell of children's milk, feces and urine, coupled with the airtight smell of fermentation, which made him frown, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly now.
no way.
It was the coldest month of winter when I gave birth, and there was no collective heating in Jiangzhou. In previous winters, their family always turned on the electric heater.
Now the electric heater has been moved to Bai Xiujuan's bedroom. On the thin stand in front, three or four slightly yellowed diapers are hung one after another, and they are hardened by the heat.
"The smell of this house is too unpleasant..."
Ding Haiyang said a little depressed.
…
As soon as he finished speaking, an older lady came out of the kitchen and said with a confident smile:
"What do you men know? This is what you need to do during confinement. You can't just be exposed to wind. You will get sick when you get old."
Now that I’m done, I’d like to ask one more question:
"Isn't there another girl in your family? Isn't this the first time you've given birth to a child? I didn't have any impression of it at first?"
"If I don't come, you won't be able to do well during the confinement period, and you won't know how many diseases you will suffer from when you get old..."
As he said that, he took the empty milk bottle that had been placed on the table for some time, poured some boiling water, shook it up and down, rinsed it, and then it was done.
The movements of his hands were quite nimble, but Ding Haiyang looked at him, why was he so uncomfortable?
…
In the kitchen, the simple cannon that smokes oil fume is turned on and the fan is whirring. The other end is still chopping vegetables, and the air is vaguely filled with the smell of pig's trotters soup...
They did their job really well.
Ding Haiyang had no choice but to sit on the sofa and plan to watch TV.
After all, the house is in a mess, and out of sight, out of mind, you need to quickly divert your attention.
He wanted to see his son, but his son was crying so hard that it was a headache. Bai Xiujuan was coaxing him inside...
He thought about waiting until the child stopped crying before watching.
Looking at the eldest sister working in the kitchen, Ding Haiyang actually doesn't like her very much -
But there was nothing I could do.
He paid a thousand yuan a month. This was the nurse she found directly from the nearby ward when Bai Xiujuan was hospitalized. People thought the hospital was too dirty, and something happened...
Although the salary here is not high, the work is easy, just cooking and helping out...
The eldest sister is also used to it, so she came over after thinking about it for a while.
…
Nowadays, there are massage, lactation, and confinement nuns in hospitals. Although they are not popular, they are still available.
Otherwise, having a nanny who specializes in taking care of children is more or less professional.
But unfortunately, the eldest lady hired to save money is over fifty? Her behavior is completely like that of the older generation.
Not only does it treat mothers? It also applies to children.
At first, Bai Xiujuan felt sorry for her son. She wanted to buy a few packs of diapers.
As a result, the eldest sister refused and kindly brought the diapers that her grandson used when he was a child? You are lucky to be like this...
Her grandson Bai Xiujuan has also seen the photo, she is white and fat.
Just a little too fat.
A kid? Those fat, white arms that look like lotus roots.
Their child? He has a round body like Michelin.
But these days, no one thinks that children are not lucky if they are fat when they are young. If they are fat when they are young, they are not called fat, but when they grow up, they will be fat.
All in all? Confused? Anyway, he just took office.
After all, the eldest sister is used to doing work, and she is doing her best to serve this elderly mother--
The windows cannot be opened and the heating cannot be turned off.
Wash your face, brush your teeth, wash your hair, take a shower?
Don't even think about it.
Don't ask, it's just something passed down from the older generation, there's nothing wrong with it.
Not paying attention for a moment? You will suffer when you are old.
She was particularly enthusiastic and carefully adjusted the child's sleeping position, trying hard to make him sleep with a flat head that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Of course? A salary of one thousand yuan can only cover so much.
Don’t live at home? Come over in the morning and help with cleaning? Wash diapers or something? Make two meals by the way.
Something else...
What kind of bicycle do you want for a thousand yuan? I’m afraid you’re just thinking nonsense.
…
As a result, the consequence of trying to save money is that if Bai Xiujuan doesn't do the remaining work in the house, Ding Haiyang will have to do it.
The couple can never escape.
So much so that Ding Haiyang had only been home for half a month, and he felt as if a chunk of his head was going to be bald - why didn't he think there were so many things going on in this house before?
If the eldest sister hadn't made a fuss and shouted in the toilet that day, Ding Haiyang wouldn't have even known that he was still cleaning the toilet at home!
Simply!
He is a big old man...
However, the old man was no match for the majesty of the nanny, and in the end he had to work in silence.
You can't think about this. When you think about it, Ding Haiyang feels like he has a heart attack.
He sighed while touching the TV remote control with his fingers.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the eldest sister poked her head out of the kitchen again.
"Brother, please help me peel these potatoes."
Ding Haiyang frowned, he couldn't bear the thought of having to do this job——
This is too much!
Yesterday I only let myself choose garlic sprouts, but today I have to peel potatoes. Do I have to cook by myself tomorrow?
He can't do it.
We must not condone nannies like this who are sneaking around and testing the bottom line of their customers step by step!
…
Ding Haiyang then spoke righteously:
"Sister Wang, didn't we agree that you would help with the cooking? Why now, day by day, I have so many things to do? I even have to peel the potatoes myself."
Even when Bai Xiujuan was pregnant, Ding Haiyang had never touched the kitchen.
Why do I still have to work after giving birth to a child?
The eldest sister was not happy either.
I originally thought that the gentle people in this family were okay, but who knew it was so unclear...
…
If you are unhappy in your heart, of course you have to vent it out.
Just listen to the eldest sister knocking in the kitchen at the moment, and she can still speak out in a loud voice——
"Oh, that's incredible. You can use me as a long-term laborer for a thousand yuan a month."
"Brother, it's not me who is cheating... You ask around and ask around. You need one thousand yuan to cook and clean, and you also need to help you take care of your children and wash their diapers. Who else will do it besides me?"
My aunt is used to working as a caregiver, and the prices are clearly marked, so she also knows how to care about her labor force.
She will pay whatever price her employer gives her for her labor.
Bai Xiujuan said anxiously that she would be paid one thousand, so of course she would work for one thousand.
It’s true that she doesn’t cheat, and her daily guidance is quite detailed – it doesn’t take much effort anyway.
But anything else?
That's sorry.
If it weren't for an old lady who was a regular customer at the hospital and asked her to take care of her, she would be wiping feces, peeing, and turning over to serve her every day. It would be too tiring.
Her son blocked her again, saying something about whether there was an agreement or not...
She wouldn't come here to do this job.
Anyway, I want to ask the eldest sister if she regrets it?
I feel a bit regretful.
If she does the same job in the hospital, her monthly income can be twice what it is now.
In addition, if you wipe people's poop and urine, your income can be even higher.
However, this hospital also has the advantages of this one. The time is fixed, and you can also provide guidance. There is no physical work, and you don’t need to help the patient turn over and scrub...
Anyway, let’s do it when we come.
…
At this moment, while she was chopping the meat, she was looking at Ding Haiyang, who was sitting on the horse and peeling potatoes in silence. Seeing his hand gesture, she curled her lips:
"If you ask me, you are a big man, and your wife is giving birth to a child for you at such an old age, so you can help to some extent."
"Why do I think you're not good at peeling potatoes? You're not good at that. The child will have to worry a lot in the future."
Ding Haiyang has always had little confidence in a big sister-like figure who is well-spoken and quick at work.
Now I can only peel potatoes with increasing frustration, while I blame my eldest sister, two younger sisters, and that dead girl at home, why hasn't she come back?
Before I even peeled two potatoes, I heard the eldest sister say again:
"We agreed during the previous discussion that I would be given a holiday during the Chinese New Year. I will go back this afternoon. I will come back to work after the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Is that okay?"
…
Is that possible?
Of course that can’t be done!
Once this man left, Ding Haiyang couldn't even get food for himself. What could he eat or drink?
But it was true that he was in a hurry at the time and agreed when negotiating the terms. At that time, he thought about it, isn't it just giving birth to a child? When he gave birth to Ding Wei, it was not that good. By the time of the Chinese New Year, the eldest sister had already done half
It’s been a month, Xiujuan will definitely get used to it...
But he never imagined that different people's ages would require different recovery times after giving birth.
Bai Xiujuan's life is going smoothly now, but it would be very difficult for her to work in cold water.
In addition, the child has to be watched by someone all the time, either when he is hungry or fussy, and he has a lot of minor problems...
He and his sister are almost like two different species.
Thinking of this, Ding Haiyang felt his head was as big as a bucket.
…
After peeling the four big potatoes in his hand, he couldn't help but push open the bedroom door, and was instantly hit by a strange mixture of warm and warm steam that made him fall down.
He stared depressedly at Bai Xiujuan, who was still lying on the bed with greasy hair and sallow face:
"What are you going to do during the New Year?"
Accidentally, my voice was a little loud, and my son, who had been a little sleepy just now, started crying again.
Bai Xiujuan's face showed deep collapse——
What to do? She doesn’t know what to do either?
How come there are so many more things to do when giving birth to a boy than when giving birth to a girl?
She gave birth to Ding Wei ten or twenty years ago. At that time, she was only eighteen years old, and her body recovered very quickly.
In addition, although her parents left early, the eldest and second aunts came to take care of the child every day, and everything was prepared. She didn't feel any better, and she slipped out of confinement smoothly.
But now, when she is in her thirties or forties and has a baby, no one will take care of her, and she still feels uncomfortable.
All kinds of unspeakable little problems kept coming.
And when I was young, I didn’t feel it during confinement. At that time, the heating was on, and the aunt took care of the child and carefully washed her several times.
It's not that you are not allowed to take a bath, but you must be warm and tightly wrapped before you can come out.
…
But now the two aunts are nowhere to be seen, and it is this eldest sister who really takes good care of her.
Whenever her feet hit the ground, she would definitely yell and scream, telling her that she didn't know how to take care of her body and would suffer in old age.
The other person seemed so authoritative and would always give examples of so and so in the hospital. Bai Xiujuan was confused and just followed his ideas.
Now I take care of her, stewing some fat chicken, duck, soybeans, pig's trotters and crucian carp every day, there is a lot of everything.
The eldest sister boasted that she was a master at making delicious soup. The meat on Bai Xiujuan's belly grew layer by layer after drinking it, but her milk was still blocked.
Over and over again, I suffered a lot, and in the end my son could only rely on half formula and half breast milk.
At this point, Ding Haiyang also complained that she, a mother, could not breastfeed her children. She was definitely not as smart as breastfeeding, so that his son fell into the trap for nothing...
Now seeing her son who had just been put to sleep crying again, Bai Xiujuan's scalp was so itchy that it was going to explode. She couldn't help but get angry and glared at Ding Haiyang:
"Can you please keep your voice down?!"
The voice was sharp enough, and after a brief pause, the child's cry suddenly reached a new level.
…
Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang entered into a new round of fighting. At the train station, Zhou Haitao, with a solemn face, finally met the insidious social figure who deceived her sister, a simple female college student.
However, there is obviously a difference between reality and imagination.
When he saw the dazzling couple in the crowded crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Even uncle Zhou Lei, who drove over to pick him up, couldn't help but be stunned.
Then gasped!
——This girl Weiwei is really discerning!
This is a perfect match, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful.
…
Well, everyone who came back from the Spring Festival travel rush was disgraced, but Xie Yan and Ding Wei were both tall and fashionably dressed.
Especially the appearance, it's really not bad at all.
Mixed in a group of people, especially eye-catching.
Zhou Haitao lowered his head and muttered something, but his uncle Zhou Lei didn't pay attention. Instead, he raised his hands excitedly and greeted him in a very unleaderly manner.
Xie Yan dragged the box and quickly followed him. Ding Wei introduced him with a smile:
"Uncle, this is thank you for my boyfriend."
"Xie Yan, this is my uncle, and this is my cousin Zhou Haitao."
Hey, it’s the first time in two lifetimes, it’s quite strange.
After Ding Wei finished the introduction, she stood there, looking at her boyfriend happily.
Xie Yan couldn't help but feel happy.
To be honest, Weiwei used nicknames every time she called him, but now she calls him by his name in a formal and formal manner, and introduces her family so solemnly...
How could he not be excited?
But fortunately, he has done a lot of building work in his mind, and now he is able to stabilize.
"Uncle."
While looking at Zhou Haitao who was looking at him, he laughed.
"Haitao."
…
This young man's mouth is so sweet. He opened his mouth and started calling before he even did anything!
Uncle Zhou Lei quickly and enthusiastically packed the luggage and stuffed it into the trunk:
"Let's go, it's very cold outside, come back quickly, your aunt has cooked a big table of delicious food at home!"
The group of people turned back home smoothly.
My uncle had been thinking for a long time about how to explain to the boy why he didn't go to Weiwei's house.
Unexpectedly, he was sitting in the car, his eyes looking outside curiously, motionless, and he didn't even utter a question mark.
This young man!
He considered it with a leader's perspective and found that it seemed like he had a good personality.
——Be able to keep calm.
So my heart felt 10,000 pleasing to the eye again.
