Chapter 158: The Old Lady Arrives
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiaolian has never returned to Chen's house, and naturally she has not seen Mrs. Chen.
How could this cold lady come to her? Could it be that the eldest brother and sister-in-law treated the old lady badly and kicked the old lady out?
No, if that's the case, the eldest sister will definitely send her a letter, and it is impossible to send people to her directly.
Knowing that she was not far from giving birth, the eldest sister would not let the Chen family come to join in the fun again and make trouble for her.
"Mother, come into the house quickly, sit on the kang, it's too cold outside, how much you will suffer when you come out at this time." Qiao Lian hurriedly walked over and helped the old lady into the house.
"Yo, second sister, your family has changed a lot, it's very warm in the house, okay, it's good." Zhang Wenguang followed into the house, looked at the room a few times, felt that the room was quite hot, and nodded.
The Qu family's house was re-cleaned in the spring, and it was not as ventilated as last year, and Qiaolian specially found someone to build up the partition wall of the east house this autumn.
The inside is separated from the outside, so that the three rooms are not empty, and no matter how much fire is burned, it will not feel warm.
In addition, the north wall of the east house also built a fire wall, this weather will burn a little fire, the south is a kang, the north is a fire wall, all burn the fire, the house is naturally warm.
"Didn't I estimate that the child would be born in winter? You said that there was no wall in this house, and when the door was opened, a cold wind rushed into the house.
It's different when I have children, I was afraid that the cold wind would blow the children, so I simply built up the walls. Qiao Lian explained with a smile and helped the old lady to sit on the kang.
"I haven't been to see my mother these days, how is my mother doing? Are you okay? "Qiaolian couldn't ask her mother directly why she came, so she could only turn around and ask.
The old lady sat down on the kang, took off her hat and scarf, and then spoke.
"I calculated that you are not young this month, and you are the second child, so you may not be able to give birth at any time.
So I told your eldest brother and sister-in-law, come and stay with you for two months, and when you give birth to a child and leave the confinement, I will go back. ”
The old lady looked at Qiao Lian with a smile, and when she saw Qiao Lian's big belly, she couldn't help but be a little worried. "You're bigger than anyone else's belly, are you really two?"
Qiao Lian was already stunned by the old lady's words, where could she care about replying?
Didn't the old lady run over with her brother and sister-in-law? Did people come to accompany her and plan to serve her in confinement?
Really? How could she sound so impossible? Can her wife have such a good heart?
Hasn't the old lady always disliked her daughter? Can you still come and serve her confinement? Sounds like a fantasy.
"Mother, you are old and in poor health, if I give birth to them, I am afraid that they will be two, will it be too noisy?"
Qiao Lian asked in disbelief, the key is that the old lady's attitude has changed too much this year, and she really can't keep up and can't accept it.
"What's the fuss? Isn't the little baby just eating, sleeping and sleeping? You're leading two children alone, what if you really start it in the middle of the night? Jiakang Jiayuan's two children must not let you be scared?
I gave birth to six of you, so don't you have a little experience? I will accompany you here, and I will help you deliver the baby when the time comes, otherwise you are far away from the township, where can you find a midwife? ”
The old lady didn't seem to see the surprised look on her daughter's face, and her attitude was still very kind.
"Don't worry, I'm in good shape this year, I haven't taken any medicine this autumn, I'll accompany you, help you serve the little milk baby, and I have to wait for you to get out of the confinement and go to the ground by yourself."
When you gave birth to Jiakang Jiayuan, there was your mother-in-law to serve in front of you, and you didn't need me, but now your mother-in-law is gone, and there is no elder in front of you. ”
The old lady's words are reasonable, Qiao Lian didn't see any flaws, could it be that the old lady really found out with her conscience?
Not to mention, this year's old lady is really similar to changing sex, and she is much better than before to their sisters.
Yes, it doesn't matter if the old lady is really here to serve the confinement child, or if she can't live in the eldest brother's house and comes to relax, there is someone to accompany her, how much can she help, and her confinement will be easier.
"What didn't the eldest brother and sister-in-law say?" What Qiao Lian is more worried about is that the eldest brother is not happy.
The old lady is in the Chen family, no matter what, she can still help with some work, and now the old lady comes to live and help her daughter serve the confinement child, can the eldest brother and sister-in-law be happy?
The old lady pouted, "Legs are on me, where do I like to use them?" I'm a pension in his house, and I'm not a slave to them.
If he is not at home and does not eat his family's food, what is he not happy about? It's okay, I told you on your eldest brother's side.
Your eldest brother also said that Wei Yang is not at home, and it is not easy for you to take the two children, so let me come over to help you for a while. Your sister-in-law? She knew that she was shopping all over the street, so I didn't bother to take care of her. ”
When it comes to the eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady doesn't have a good tone, if this daughter-in-law hadn't been raised since childhood, she really wouldn't look down on her.
When Qiao Lian heard this, this was also true, although it was decided that the old lady would retire at the eldest brother's house, no one said that the old lady was not allowed to live in other people's homes, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law really couldn't control this matter.
Thinking of this, Qiao Lian smiled, "Mother, it's naturally best if you can come, I'm still worried, what can I do when I give birth?"
If you live here, I'll be relieved. Mother, although you can live in peace, there is nothing lacking at home, and you are well fed and clothed. ”
No matter how stiff the relationship between mother and daughter was in the past, Qiao Lian has seen the old lady trying to ease the relationship this year, especially today, the appearance of the old lady surprised Qiao Lian and felt a little warm.
After all, it is a mother and daughter, since the mother can put down her body and come over, she, who is a daughter, has absolutely no reason to push her mother out.
Besides, people are here to help, not to find trouble, and she has no reason to drive people out.
As long as some things are thought about, the mood will be different, and Qiaolian is also grateful to her mother at the moment, so her attitude is getting closer and closer.
This kind of closeness is different from what he pretended to be before, and he really wants to get closer to his mother.
Zhang Wenguang was in charge of sending the old lady to Qu's house, and since he sent it, he had nothing to do, so he put the burden in his hand on the kang.
"Mother, second sister, if there is nothing to do at home, then I will go back first, tomorrow I have to go up the mountain to work and saw, and I have to go back to prepare."
Zhang Wenguang has to go into the mountains every year to harvest, probably starting at this time, until the year before, busy for a month and a half, earning money for the New Year.
"Okay, brother-in-law, then you can go back, this cold day is still bothering you to run, the road is slippery, brother-in-law be careful."
Qiaolian also knew that Zhang Wenguang was busy, so she didn't keep him, and only went out to send him off.
Out of the house, Zhang Wenguang whispered, "Second sister, don't worry, my mother came here for no other reason."
The eldest brother is not bad to our mother, he is not harsh, I listen to your sister talking to our mother, I really don't worry about you.
Your sister is also busy and can't always come, so my mother said that she would come to accompany you. ”
