PDLP Chapter 312: Mother-in-law's Power
Chapter 312: Mother-in-law's Power
A group of people pricked up their ears and listened.
"Aunt, Lixia was already nearly five months pregnant on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It was unsafe, and this time is also..."
"What is it?"
"When Lixia gave birth, my nephew was sent to the People's Hotel to announce the good news. My brother-in-law said nothing. After the birth, he sent red eggs, and it was Sister Xu Yuying who handed them over. He also asked Sister Xu to order chickens. My brother-in-law never showed up."
"No one from my in-laws' family has come to visit. Everyone knows what's going on at home. My sister and I have to go to work, and my eldest nephew took four days off to take care of the first few days of confinement."
"My eldest brother-in-law gave birth to a son. I lined up early in the morning to buy pig's trotters and a pound of peanuts. I tried my best, but people's hearts are only seen through their stomachs. Lixia has been taking care of them at home for 20 years, and she didn't even bother to visit during her confinement."
"How long will it take for the baby to be born? Is it a boy or a girl? How many apples did you take?"
"May 2th, two boys. 16, a bunch of grapes, and this fish. From now on, gifts will be halved."
"Two boys. It's almost August 15th, and the child is almost a hundred days old. That's right, if you give him too much, he will become arrogant." I don't envy my aunt because she has many grandchildren.
The aunts next to them were envious.
"Aunt, I'm going back after giving the holiday gifts. I don't want to chat anymore." Jiang Wen went in with his things. Liu Fang was at home and it seemed that she was pregnant again.
The boss was crawling on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, this is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for my parents. Please accept it. I still have to go back to see the children." Jiang Wen's appearance interrupted Liu Fang's thoughts.
Her third younger brother graduated from junior high school this year and took over her job. She has been scolded by her mother-in-law for almost three months.
Curse every day.
If it weren't for the baby in her belly and Dabao, she would have been sent back to her parents' home long ago.
My husband started to fight and my father-in-law told me that the job was for my grandchildren in the future, so I shouldn't even think about it.
It also cuts off ties with my natal family, forcing me to choose between my husband's family and my natal family.
There are four people in my mother's family earning wages, but the problem is that they can feed all five young men.
I don’t know how much food I can buy every month because of the high prices.
What should I do if my younger brother loses weight if I don’t support him?
When Liu Fang saw the fish, she instantly had an idea, but she didn't dare to act.
Apple can move.
Jiang Wen took the basket and left.
When Liu Xiaocao came back from her stroll, she heard that her son-in-law had returned. She hurried to the next door to ask her aunt what her son-in-law had brought, as there was a thief in the house.
When she got home, she found her daughter-in-law basking in the sun with a dying look on her face. Liu Xiaocao went straight to the kitchen and counted them back and forth. There were only 10 apples and a lot of grapes missing, probably half a pound.
As soon as he came out, he started cursing, "Damn it! My son-in-law brought me 16 apples, but I came back a little late and the thief stole 6 of them and half a pound of grapes. What a conscienceless little Japanese! This is what happens when the Japanese invaders enter the village..."
"Gu Lichun, what kind of person did you marry? You gave your job to your brother from your mother's family, and now you want your father-in-law's job. You even have to carry food and things back to your mother's family. There are so many women who can give birth to sons, why did you marry such a thing..."
Liu Fang couldn't hear what Liu Xiaocao said. She had already finished eating the grapes and two apples. She would wait for Gu Lichun to come back before talking.
.........
Early in the morning on the 18th, the couple went out and brought back two baskets of photo frames and two chickens.
48 together.
Chicken Huainan to do.
Gu Lixia and her sister-in-law put photos together.
Find the first family photo, the photo of the couple, and the photo of the four children.
The second family photo in military uniforms, a photo of the couple and their four children.
The third time, 3 pieces of summer cloth clothes and 3 pieces of military uniforms.
Put these 12 in first.
I went to look for the photos of the two babies I had taken with my home camera a few days ago, including one that was one month old, one that was sucking its fingers, one that was sucking its feet, and one that was peeing.
Photos of the New Year's Eve group photo, the New Year's Eve dinner, the big goose taken by Huainan, Jiang Xiu cooking, Huaibei and Huaixi sleeping in a ball without waking up in the morning, photos of Huainan swinging on the swing taken by his aunt, and photos of him playing football.
There are also photos taken by Gu Lixia for her sister-in-law, uncle and nephew, and 16 photos taken with the help of Grandpa Sun.
44 photos in total.
Leave one empty space to hang a portrait of the Chairman.
There are 3 pairs left, and none of them are suitable to hang on it, so I'll hang the certificates for this semester's holidays.
Just one for each person.
A master of keeping things balanced.
Although the portrait of Chairman Mao at home is old, Gu Lixia plans to ask Jiang Wen to buy a new one.
Huainan volunteered to go after school.
Just put it there for now and hang it up when you come back at noon.
Huainan brought back a portrait of Chairman Mao when he came back from school.
Gu Lixia put it in.
He stepped onto the table and ordered one photo frame after another.
The Chairman’s portrait is hung in the middle, at the highest point.
Below are the photos from right to left, and from front to back.
Well-arranged.
"How do we clean it when it's hung so high?" Huainan asked.
"Use a feather duster. We'll go get it on Sunday." Gu Lixia could naturally handle it.
When Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu came back, the photo frames were all hung on the wall, so we started eating straight away: chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Huainan has already mastered it to perfection.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we didn’t go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy mooncakes. Gu Lixia talked to Jiang Wen and ordered other mooncakes.
Early Sunday morning, the couple went out again and bought 48 photo frames, a feather duster, 60 mixed sugar mooncakes, and 4 kilograms of meat.
The first step after returning home was to divide the photo frames. Jiang Xiu took 20, and the rest went to the three brothers.
The feather duster is hung on the door of the main hall.
Move the mooncakes into a clean jar.
Meat, I stir-fried it and ate it today.
First, help tear down the certificate on the wall and put it in the photo frame.
Then there are their own photos.
Jiang Xiu has six Labor Stars, two Progress Stars, one for first place in arithmetic, and four for second and third place in the grade after entering junior high school.
There were 13 award certificates, 5 photos taken earlier, and one family photo on the embankment, a total of 19 photos.
There was one left, so Jiang Wen framed it in newspaper and hung it in the main room.
Huainan and his friends also chose their own photos.
Jiang Wen helped to prepare it, drank milk powder, ate biscuits, and left to go to the Children's Palace.
There will be performances at the Children's Palace on National Day.
The students each wore their best clothes, had their hair cut, and wore red scarves.
Gu Lixia also went.
Three adults can't take care of a child.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu were responsible for looking after the children. Jiang Wen had a large bag of things on him, and they sat in the fourth row.
At first, Gu Lixia thought it was a makeshift troupe.
I didn't expect that after I arrived, I would be invited to the first seat on the left in the middle of the first row.
Look at the crowds holding cameras on both sides.
Gu Lixia felt that she had understood the truth.
When announcing the show, I would like to thank Director Zhang, Director of the Jiangcheng City Revolutionary Committee, for coming.
The arrival of Deputy Director Zhang, Deputy Director Liu, and Deputy Director Sun.
Below are the eight bureaus, including a director and three deputy directors, namely the Public Security Bureau, Urban Construction Bureau, Electric Power Bureau, Taxation Bureau, Health Bureau, Education Bureau, Finance Bureau, and Machinery Industry Administration Bureau.
The directors and deputy directors of each factory.
