Chapter 3

He Hongtu chatted with Tian Zhenzhen for a while, and then began to clean up the house.

Their two families are complex, and neither of them has the help of close relatives and elders.

If you have no parents or relatives, you should rely on yourself in everything.

Tian Zhenzhen stayed in the hospital for a few days and he Hongtu accompanied him all the way, so there was no cleaning at home, and a layer of ash fell on the ground and furniture.

And the dirty clothes accumulated in the hospital need to be cleaned.

Those thermoss, lunch boxes, washbasins and other things that get to the hospital also need to be cleaned and placed.

Also prepare milk soup and baby meal for pregnant women

He Hongtu was so busy that he didn't finish his work until evening.

"Hiss, husband, my knife edge still hurts a little."

Tian Zhenzhen lay in bed, looking at the child and recuperating.

Her complaint, that is to say casually, inspired he Hongtu.

He Hongtu took out the new mobile phone he bought after receiving his first salary. Well, it's not the latest flip and color screen mobile phone, but the most common blue screen straight board model.

The mobile phone is small, the price is close to the people, and it is not a messy brand.

Debit, what about big brands in Taiwan.

In the small county in 2003, Hong Kong and Taiwan brands were still very popular.

He Hongtu was familiar with pressing a series of numbers. After a few beeps, the phone was connected.

"Hello, is that Aunt Xu? I'm Xiao He, from the obstetrics and gynecology ward of the county hospital!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we left the hospital today and have arrived home. Has your granddaughter-in-law given birth? Oh, it's a fat boy. Congratulations, Congratulations!"

"I said you are always blessed. Look, now you are all four generations together..."

"Well, I have something to ask you. My daughter-in-law has just had a cesarean section. It's been several days. The doctor said the wound recovered well, but she still felt the knife edge hurt."

"My daughter-in-law and I don't understand this. You've seen a lot and know a lot. I just want to ask you how to take care of her situation!"

"Oh, eat pigeons? Pigeon meat helps to restore the edge of the knife? Oh, I said, I still want to ask you old people about this!"

"Oh, I can't drink more. If I drink too much pigeon soup, I will milk back? Ah? What's the matter with milk back?"

"Oh, that's right! Eating leeks will also bring back milk? God, luckily I called you. My daughter-in-law usually likes vegetarian dumplings. Just now she urged me to go to the vegetable market to buy leeks for her!"

"Aunt Xu, thank you. Thank you so much. Otherwise, we'll really do something stupid!"

"No matter how good the milk powder is, it is not as nutritious as my mother's milk!"

He Hongtu flattered his mobile phone, and finally his thank-you tone was extremely sincere.

Across the handset, aunt Xu on the other side can also feel it.

Aunt Xu is very pleased. The old man is afraid that he will become useless and be disliked by young people.

Let alone strangers, even in the face of their own flesh and blood, I don't know when to start, the old people will become cautious.

Once people get old, they can easily become talkative.

Sometimes, their children can't stand it and dislike them.

Just like this time, the eldest grandson returned home with his daughter-in-law. As a result, his son and daughter-in-law were unexpectedly premature. Aunt Xu, a grandmother, went to the hospital to take care of her.

There is a generation gap between aunt Xu and her daughter-in-law, not to mention her granddaughter-in-law.

Aunt Xu thinks her granddaughter-in-law is too delicate. She always talks about science and civilization.

The brand-new urine ring she prepared for her, pure cotton gauze, is soft and breathable. How nice. But people don't like it. They have to spend money on diapers.

Oh, by the way, there is milk powder. Before the child was born, he spent hundreds of dollars on a can of milk powder. What else did he say about foreign imports. Breastfeeding is good, economical and nutritious.

The sun's daughter-in-law thought that her mother-in-law was too old-fashioned. She always said "what were we like in those years" and "I gave birth to six sons and three daughters and more than a dozen grandchildren".

Sun's daughter-in-law did not agree with him or make complaints about it. When you were eating bran swallowing vegetables, you had to endure your illness! Why don't you do that now?

And diapers, milk powder!

These are money, but I didn't spend your money. What are you doing with a face all day?

Aunt Xu and sun's daughter-in-law were dissatisfied with each other. Sun's daughter-in-law was even more angry. Two days after giving birth to the child and before the hospital came out, she urged her husband to go back to the provincial capital.

"Don't flash the child, at least wait until the month!" aunt Xu was really worried.

But the sun's daughter-in-law felt that if she lived in her hometown again, she would have to be angry with her mother-in-law.

The eldest grandson was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. Finally, he was forced by his daughter-in-law to pack a van, pulled up the tightly wrapped mother and son, set out directly from the hospital, and went back to the provincial capital without lunch.

Aunt Xu looked at the fast-moving van and her face was black with anger.

Of course, aunt Xu is not that unreasonable person.

She knew that she might be a little old-fashioned and could not accept the way of young people.

But she has a good heart for her children, and she really loves her granddaughter-in-law and great grandson.

No matter how unhappy the granddaughter-in-law is, she should be a little tolerant because she is an elder.

On the contrary——

Aunt Xu felt uncomfortable. She went home from the hospital angrily.

Sitting in the empty living room, she couldn't help wondering: is my old woman's set really out of date? Young people don't like it?!

Alas, it seems that I am really old and become an old waste despised by my children and grandchildren.

Just when she felt lost and self denial, he Hongtu called.

"Aunt Xu, thank you. Thank you so much. Although it's not appropriate, I just believe you. Can I call you if there's anything else in the future?"

Across the phone, I couldn't see he Hongtu's face, but aunt Xu still remembered he Hongtu's young and honest face in the hospital.

Aunt Xu had no doubt that he Hongtu really thanked her and really felt that she, an old woman, had helped him a lot!

This feeling of being needed, recognized and even respected is really great.

Aunt Xu had some good feelings for he Hongtu. Now she likes this sensible and clever young man more and more. She hurriedly said, "Oh, it's not a big deal. I just say a few words!"

"Xiao He, if you don't mind my old woman nagging, you can call me anytime!"

He Hongtu quickly nodded and bowed. Even if aunt Xu couldn't see his actions, he would use them to give himself a psychological hint.

He really respects aunt Xu, a warm-hearted old lady.

"Aunt Xu, look at what you said. You helped me a lot. I appreciate that it's too late. How can I dislike you?"

He Hongtu talked with the old lady for a quarter of an hour, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.

Just hung up the phone and saw the call time prompted on the screen, he Hongtu was slightly distressed.

Woo woo, it costs 25 cents a minute, and 17 minutes is 4.25 yuan, which is enough for him to buy a kilo of pork!

However, this kind of money can not be saved, but necessary investment.

In addition to telephone charges, there are more investments.

He Hongtu ran to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. He bought the pigeons mentioned by Aunt Xu, as well as pig bones, black chickens, pig feet and some fresh vegetables.

When he left the vegetable market, he Hongtu also bought a watermelon, and then directly touched aunt Xu's house according to her address.

"... aunt, I didn't want to disturb you, but I'm still worried. You always help me see. Did I buy this pigeon, right?"

He Hongtu asked sheepishly.

Aunt Xu was interested. She didn't care about he Hongtu's rash visit, but carefully looked at he Hongtu's basket: "yes, the pigeon is very fresh. By the way, don't put soy sauce when cooking soup. The wound will turn black. Just put a little salt."

"Oh, you also bought pig's feet. By the way, you can go to the traditional Chinese medicine shop to buy some Tongcao. Stew pig's feet with Tongcao. It's best to milk!"

"Oh, Tongcao! Just tell the people in the pharmacy? Hey, aunt Xu, it's lucky that I came here, otherwise I wasted good things again!"

He Hongtu wrote down aunt Xu's words and thanked her again and again.

Before leaving, he Hongtu left the watermelon to the old lady, "aunt, don't dislike it. I just think it's too troublesome for you. That's --"

Aunt Xu declined a few words. Seeing that he Hongtu insisted, she didn't refuse again.

It's just a watermelon. It's not worth anything. Even if he Hongtu finds something else in the future, her old lady can afford it!
