Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

"Boom~"

"Knock, knock, is anyone there? I'm Yang Qingqing, I'm here to see Sister Yue Mei."

"Coming! Wait a minute, right away"

The one who opened the door was Yue Mei's mother, who had met Yang Qingqing once before.

"It's Qingqing! Come in! We are having dinner! Do you want to eat something?"

"No, no ...

"I've already eaten. I came to see sister-in-law Yue Mei. I don't know where she is! I just came here without permission. I'm so sorry to bother you."

Yang Qingqing clasped her hands together and apologized repeatedly

"Look at you kid! What do you have to feel sorry for? Meimei just happened to come back a few days ago. She lives in the west room. Come in and take a look."

When Yang Qingqing passed by the main room, she saw three men in the room. One of them should be Yue Mei's father, and the other two should be his brothers.

She said hello and followed her mother-in-law into the west room.

"Meimei, look who's here to see you. Put the child down quickly, I'll hold him in my arms later. The most important thing for you now is to rest, and you can't hold the child all the time."

When the mother-in-law saw Yue Mei holding her grandson, she immediately took it and kept telling her what to do. She complained, but her expression was full of concern.

Seeing this scene, Yang Qingqing was really envious. She used to have a mother but it was nothing. Now she is gone.

She has never experienced her mother's nagging and care in her two lives.

Every time she saw such a scene, she couldn't help but envy

"Mom, I know. I just saw that he woke up and I couldn't help it. Please stop scolding me, okay?"

Although Yue Mei is married and has two children, she still unconsciously becomes a little girl who has not grown up when she is with her mother.

"Qingqing is here! Come and sit down. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat something here? There's nothing good at home. Do you want to make do with this?"

When she saw Yang Qingqing, she switched to the role of an elder or sister, mature and steady, the Yue Mei that Yang Qingqing had seen before.

"Sister-in-law, I've eaten. Today I came mainly to see you and my nephew. What's his name?"

Yang Qingqing said as she took out a pair of pig's trotters, five catties of millet, three catties of eggs, and a set of clothes that were in line with the times.

"Why did you take so much? Take it back quickly. I have enough food here. It's good for us to know your kindness. It's not easy for you either."

Before Yue Mei could speak, her mother refused

She felt that although they were the top shift, the two of them were willing to fight and one was willing to be beaten, and there was no question of who was taking advantage.

Yang Qingqing brought so many things, which shows that she is honest and sensible, but her family is not the kind of people who take advantage of others.

"I'm giving this to sister-in-law Yue Mei, you can't refuse it. I heard that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. You have to take good care of yourself."

Yang Qingqing put the things on the cabinet, sat down on the kang, and looked at the newborn baby. She felt that the baby was not ugly at all, and was not as exaggerated as described in TV shows and novels.

"Qingqing, how have you been these past two months? Has anyone given you any trouble?"

"It's OK, except that they picked on me a little when I first got there. But I ignored them. They couldn't do anything about it. But now we don't have much communication."

"It's not a big deal. They are bullies and they only care about the weak. If you compromise, they will take advantage of you."

"Yeah, I also made a very good friend in the supply and marketing cooperative, Yao Hongxia. She helped me a lot."

"She! She's a warm-hearted person. I didn't expect you two could get along. I see you're always looking at this little guy, do you want to hug him?"

When Yue Mei heard that Yang Qingqing and Yao Hongxia were good friends, she felt uneasy. She was afraid that Yang Qingqing would follow Director Yao's path and replace her, so she immediately changed the subject.

"I wouldn't dare. I just think he's very cute and lovable. My little niece was also very cute before. She's grown up now."

"That's right. His sister has grown up in the blink of an eye, and now there is this little brat. I really have no regrets in my death."

"What are you talking about! What's the point of talking about death? You still have a good life to live! Why don't you see his sister?"

"She always eats lunch at school and never comes back. She likes her brother very much."

"Really? A brother who is loved by his sister is a happy child. I am very happy that I did not disturb you today. How long will it take you to be out of confinement? When you want to go back to work, you can tell me in advance."

When Yue Mei heard Yang Qingqing say this, she felt relieved. It seemed that she had no intention of finding someone to replace her.

"Okay! I've discussed this with my family before. We think I should go back to work next month at the earliest. As you may know, this pregnancy was not easy for me. My family hopes that I can take advantage of this confinement period to take good care of my body so that I won't suffer in the future. So I will go back to work next month at the earliest."

"Okay, I understand. Once you are sure, just tell me one day in advance. I have no objection, any time is fine."

"Okay, but I'm really sorry. You're a real person. If there's any job openings in the future, I'll definitely tell you."

"Okay, then thank you. I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I'll leave first. You should have a good rest and don't tire yourself out. And you also know where I got this thing from, I hope you can keep it a secret! Haha~"

"Okay, we can't delay work. We know the limits. Go ahead, and take the rest back with you, but you don't need so much."

Yue Mei's mother put the child on the kang and put the things in Yang Qingqing's backpack.

Yang Qingqing immediately picked it up and walked out.

"Auntie, please go back. Don't send me off. It's not good if others see it. This is just a little gift from me. Please accept it. I'm leaving now."

"Hey! Kid, slow down. I won't chase you anymore. Don't fall."

Seeing that Yang Qingqing was sincere, Yue Mei's mother did not insist on returning the money. Besides, her daughter really needed to be nourished during the confinement period.

Last time, she didn't do a good job during the confinement period. This time, she said she would take her child home to take care of him. In other words, the child in the family didn't get married.

If she got married, she would not be able to bring her daughter to her house to take care of her after she got married.

When she thought of her mother-in-law, she wanted to beat herself to death for agreeing to their marriage.

How come you only see that the young man has a promising future and a good family background, but forget to look at the character of his in-laws?

He has really ruined his daughter's life. He should be careful when his son marries a wife in the future. Every failure makes him wiser.

Aunt Yue took the things back to the west room, Yue Mei's room

"The girl you found is a real person. If you listen to her, she is not greedy. You can get to know her when you have the chance."

"I know! Take the pig's trotters and other things to the kitchen. Don't let anyone know when others come. It seems like she doesn't want others to know."

"I know, I'm not that smart yet."
