She worked hard to raise her children, but made herself miserable in her later years. So what's the point of all her hard work in this life?
Qian Xuefen patted Xu Yunying's shoulder and said, "Yunying, don't worry too much. Your Xu Bing and Xu Qing seem to be fine. They shouldn't marry a daughter-in-law and forget about their mother. When they are busy, they won't care about their mother."
It should be possible to have sex with me."
"But now I can prepare a way out for myself, and I'm starting to slowly save money for myself now."
"I don't dare to place all my hopes on Fangxia and Luxia. After all, after they get married, they will not belong to me alone."
After saying that, Qian Xuefen couldn't help but sigh. He had worked hard all his life and sacrificed everything for his children, but he didn't know what his children would give him in return when he was old.
But if you have money, even if your children are unfilial, their lives won't be too miserable.
"The children are not married yet. It is too early for us to worry about these things." Although Xu Yunying said this, she also knew that it was not too early to start thinking about these things.
Because her eldest son is already eighteen years old and is old enough to get married. Qian Xuefen's eldest daughter is also fourteen years old and cannot stay at home for a few more years.
Qian Xuefen nodded, "I'm still too pessimistic. Maybe they won't let us down in the future? No matter what stage we are at, we just need to do what we should do, and leave the rest to fate!
"
Now that they have saved a lot of money, even if their children are really unfilial in the future, they can support each other as old sisters so that no one will take care of them when they grow old.
What's more, they already have a partner now. Although it hasn't been made public yet, it's a certainty, and they don't have to worry about ending up alone.
This does not mean that a son must be unfilial, but that after a son marries his wife and gives birth to a child, he must consider his daughter-in-law's mood and take care of his own family.
I really don’t have that much energy to take care of my parents anymore.
So you still have to work hard to take care of yourself so as not to be a drag on your children.
After all, nothing in life is easy for anyone.
Xu Yunying chatted with Qian Xuefan for a while, and then went home, because children can be separated and live alone when they reach the age of sixteen. Xu Yunying's eldest son and second son have been separated, and now Xu Yunying and Xu Yujie are left to live together.
.
Because Xu Yunying is not used to children, now her three children can do laundry and cooking, so there is no problem in taking care of themselves.
When Xu Yunying returned home, Xu Yujie had already washed the dishes and tidied up the stove, and was sitting by the window of her room reading a book facing the sunshine!
Fortunately, a school was built in the village and Song Xi was appointed as the principal, otherwise the children would be illiterate at home!
In the future, like their generation, they will have to work hard with their backs to the sky and face to the loess, but the yield is not high and they can't even fill their stomachs.
There is hope only by reading!
The internal structure of the brick and tile houses that everyone builds is almost the same as three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, one utility room and one woodshed.
In fact, they were all built based on the drawings Song Xi gave to the village, but not every house is the same, there will be certain differences. After all, no one wants others to know everything about their house.
Although Xu Yunying and Xu Yujie lived together, they did not live in the same room.
After all, children are getting older and need independent space.
In addition, we have this condition at home, so why do we have to be like in the city, with a big family crowded into a small house?
Xu Yunying returned to her room and bolted the door. Then she sat by the bed and opened the sack that Xin Nanjiang had given her.
When she saw the white sweater, red wool coat, and exquisite watch inside, her breathing stopped and she was stunned.
this……
She thought Xin Nanjiang gave her dried mushrooms and wild vegetables, but she didn't expect it to be such a valuable thing.
To be honest, although she is very rich now, she is reluctant to buy such expensive things.
Seeing Xin Nanjiang carrying such valuable things in old linen bags, Xu Yunying felt heartbroken.
He hurriedly took out all the things inside, carefully arranged them, and then solemnly put them into his cabinet.
If she and Xin Nanjiang don't succeed, she will return the things to him intact, because she doesn't want to owe anyone else anything.
Since it became difficult to catch frogs and snakes, Song Xi and the others started the crab and spicy fish business again.
That’s right, it’s spicy fish.
But it's not the fish farmed in Ping'an Village, but the fish caught in the river. The fish caught in the river are like crabs. They are raised in a large water tank for a few days, then salted and dried for two days before being cut into pieces.
Processed into spicy fish.
The cooked spicy fish is spicy, fragrant and chewy. It goes well with meals and can be used as a snack when not eating.
When Song Xi was about to take the crabs out of the big water tank, she heard a knock on the door. She quickly put the dustpan over the big water tank and walked over to open the door. She saw Sheng Jiahe and Qi Xiaocao standing at the door.
outside.
Because she didn't understand Qi Xiaocao's personality, Song Xi did not directly ask Sheng Jiahe why he came here before it was time to wash the crabs. Instead, he led the two of them to sit down under the osmanthus tree and rest.
Soon, Song Xi brought two cups of tea, "Sheng Jiahe, who is this? Don't you want to introduce me?"
At noon, when Sheng Jiahe brought two girls to stay at Ping'an Village Primary School, he did not introduce the two girls to her one by one. Now, he brought a girl to the house alone, and he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
Qi Xiaocao took the bamboo cup handed over by Song Xi with both hands and whispered, "Thank you."
Sheng Jiahe glanced sideways at Qi Xiaocao next to him, a little embarrassed, "This is the person my cousin introduced me to. Her family didn't give her a name. Everyone calls her Xiaocao. I will take her
I came here just to ask you to give her a new name. The names you gave Fang Xia and Lu Xia before were very nice."
Qi Xiaocao nodded gently from the side, "Yes, I have no name and no household registration certificate."
In their family, she was a non-existent person. Later, when her stepmother came in, her situation became even more difficult.
Qi Xiaocao really couldn't understand why a gay man ignored his first child after marrying his second wife.
Some even allow stepmothers to abuse their children. Are their biological children no better than a woman?
Or do they think having children is easy, so they don’t value them that much?
Song Xi sat down opposite Qi Xiaocao in the Sheng family, and raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You are so old, and your family didn't even give you a name?"
Qi Xiaocao pursed her lips, feeling very uncomfortable. She shook her head gently, "No."
