Chapter 163 70 Cannon Fodder Educated Youth 42
Xu Xiaoxiao also chatted with her mother-in-law: "If I do this, will Wen Yan dislike it?"
"How dare he! Xiaoxiao, just do as I say. If he's not happy at all, just tell me and I'll take care of him. I'm telling you, men can't be spoiled too much, otherwise they'll take our hard work for granted. I, your mother-in-law, haven't cooked for so many years, but no one in our family has starved to death. We're all living well. We married into the Zou family and gave birth to children for them. What else can they be dissatisfied with? Don't think you're great just because you've read a few books. You don't even earn as much as we do. They got the advantage by marrying us in."
Xu Xiaoxiao was so moved that she almost cried, and she agreed with a smile. She also said that they didn't come back often, and cooking a few meals for them was also a way of showing her filial piety, and she was very happy to cook for a mother-in-law like her.
"But don't tire yourself out. Don't do everything by yourself. We are all free." The last few meals were cooked by picking vegetables and washing them. My uncle was cutting them, and even my father-in-law was given some garlic to peel. Xu Xiaoxiao only had to guide the work and stir-fry. Everyone was 100% involved, and the whole family was happy.
Xu Xiaoxiao cooked in the past few days, and she made various dishes. This completely changed the taste of her parents-in-law, and even her sister and brother-in-law came to eat every day. Of course, they didn't eat for free, and brought Xu Xiaoxiao various valuable small gifts and special snacks.
After Zou Wenyan and his wife left, everything they ate tasted bland. They were still wondering why they had never thought the food in the cafeteria was so bad before? It was simply hard to swallow, right?
The mother-in-law was praying that Xiaoxiao would train Zou Wenyan as soon as possible. No, that's not right. All the men in the family should be trained.
A few days later, Xu Xiaoxiao and her husband's wedding leave was over and they were ready to return. Her parents-in-law, brother and sister-in-law were reluctant to leave, a big part of which was because they couldn't bear to part with Xu Xiaoxiao's cooking skills, which had spoiled their appetites.
After returning home, Xu Xiaoxiao started her sweet newlywed life and completed her mother-in-law's task, which was to teach Zou Wenyan how to cook, saying that when he learned it, he could teach his brother and father when he returned home.
Four months later, just after teaching Zou Wenyan how to make various side dishes and simple stir-fries, Xu Xiaoxiao became pregnant!
This accelerated Zou Wenyan's cooking course progress. When Xu Xiaoxiao was three months pregnant, she was diagnosed with twins. She suddenly remembered that she was also a twin. What a gene!
Zou Wenyan was nervous now. He thought of his wife who was pregnant with twins and was in poor health when they were born, so he called home for help. At this time, he had already learned how to cook porridge, soup and home-cooked dishes, and added a new course training, which was to learn how to take care of pregnant women and children. The textbook was provided by Xu Xiaoxiao.
A few months passed, and because of her big belly, Xu Xiaoxiao took a leave of absence. Her mother-in-law had applied for retirement to take care of her. In her mother-in-law's words, it didn't matter whether she retired or not. One of her embroidery pieces could equal a month's salary, so she didn't have to go to work every day. The retirement salary would not be less, and she could embroider freely.
Although she can't cook, she will spend money to buy food or ask others to help process it and bring it back! She also buys nutritional supplements for pregnant women and various daily necessities for children without blinking an eye. She also makes various small clothes for children by herself and takes on the important task of prenatal education for children.
"Mom, why are you teaching your child embroidery during prenatal education? What if it's a boy?" Zou Wenyan was a little puzzled!
"What? Do you favor boys over girls? Xiaoxiao has two babies in her belly, so at least one must be a girl. It's not wrong for me to call her embroidery. You don't understand. This is called not losing at the starting line. None of the three children in your eldest brother's family has a talent for embroidery. I have been training her since she was in my belly."
"Then, it could also be a boy?" Zou Wenyan retorted unconvinced!
"That's okay. We also have men in our embroidery business. Okay, go and cook. You don't have to worry about prenatal education." The mother-in-law sent Zou Wenyan away in a domineering manner!
Xu Xiaoxiao never participated in such harmless little arguments between mother and son. When the children grew up, no matter what they wanted to do, as long as it was not illegal, she would support them.
Zou Wenyan refused to admit defeat and read physics books to the child before going to bed at night. Every time the baby in her belly would make a fuss for a while and then be very quiet.
"Xiaoxiao, look. The children are listening to the class attentively." Zou Wenyan was very proud!
"Then, is it possible that the baby in the belly has fallen asleep?" Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to hit him hard.
"Ah, that can't be? Wasn't he listening to the class quietly?" Suddenly he became a little uncertain, because the situation Xu Xiaoxiao described was very likely to exist.
Her mother-in-law kept her company and would draw her beautiful pictures of her pregnancy from time to time. Zou Wenyan also did the laundry and cooking, and she was not allowed to interfere at all. She was very comfortable throughout her pregnancy. Finally, at the beginning of September, her period began. On the way to the hospital, Xu Xiaoxiao swallowed a natural birth pill.
A few hours later, Xu Xiaoxiao successfully gave birth to two boys in the hospital. Zou Wenyan and his mother, who were anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, saw the nurse coming out and asked in unison, "How is my daughter-in-law Xiaoxiao?"
When the nurse saw them, she didn't ask about the baby first, but asked about the mother. She couldn't help but smile. "Mother and child are fine, but the mother is a little tired. Don't worry!"
Then he handed the baby to the mother and son. "Both are boys. Congratulations!"
Zou Wenyan and her son each held one. Although the mother-in-law was happy, she felt a little sorry that her dream of inheriting embroidery might be shattered! It was all because of Zou Wenyan's bad mouth that he said "boy", he should have said "girl"!
"Mom? Why is he so ugly? He is so tiny?" Zou Wenyan took the child from the nurse's hands, feeling helpless.
"What's ugly about the baby? You are ugly. All babies look the same when they are born. This one is still considered good-looking. You were uglier than him when you were born. The redder your skin is now, the whiter it will be when you grow up. Okay, go call your dad later to tell him the good news." His mother rolled her eyes at Zou Wenyan!
As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao woke up, she took a postpartum recovery pill and started to take care of the baby! Not long after she was discharged from the hospital, she received a big package from her father-in-law. It contained clothes, milk powder, bottles, quilts and two house deeds. The letter said that no matter whether the baby was a boy or a girl, there would be a house. Also sent were the names of the children, Zou Zhaoxu and Zou Chaoyang, which were decided by several elders after discussion!
Because there were two children, Aunt Chen was afraid that she would not be able to handle it all, so she introduced an auntie to come and cook and wash diapers, and told others that she was a relative who came to help.
This made everyone feel more relaxed. Her mother-in-law bought food for her and asked her eldest daughter-in-law to buy and send the food she couldn't buy! In order to let Xu Xiaoxiao have a good rest, the child ate milk powder at night.
She didn't have to worry about not having enough milk powder. She started preparing when she was pregnant, and several people worked together to prepare enough food for the child!
Xu Xiaoxiao rested very well during the whole confinement period, and Xu Jianhong came to see her from time to time. Seeing her mother-in-law taking good care of her, and her younger sister's face becoming healthier and rosier, she was particularly envious of her for having such a good mother-in-law.
She often sighed to her younger sister: In life, some people suffer first and then enjoy happiness, while others enjoy happiness first and then suffer! Her younger sister is definitely the type who suffers first and then enjoys happiness, and her future life will be smooth.
At this time, Xu Xiaoxiao also secretly asked her sister, if the college entrance examination was reopened now, would she still want to take the college entrance examination? Xu Jianhong thought about it and shook her head.
She just said that now that her children have grown up, life is getting better and better. She is very satisfied with her current life and doesn't want to struggle anymore. Besides, she doesn't like studying that much.
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't say much. She respected her sister's choice. If she really had difficulties or needed help with other things, she would help without her sister asking!
Xu Xiaoxiao is also very grateful to her mother-in-law. After she came out of confinement, she even felt like she was her best friend! The two of them designed clothes for the two children together. Later, they were not satisfied with the styles for the children, so they started designing clothes for adults.
Her mother-in-law is a professional, and Xu Xiaoxiao also learned it in her previous life, plus she has the vision of several lifetimes. Both of them can be regarded as very professional, so they both feel that they met too late.
He said that they would open a clothing factory together when the situation improved. Now he has designed a lot of clothing styles. Even Zou Wenyan felt that Xu Xiaoxiao treated his mother better than him.
But Xu Xiaoxiao felt that Zou Wenyan was not busy enough and had time to be jealous. Suddenly, she remembered that the current home appliance industry in the country was still too slow! She sorted out a batch of home appliances in the space, such as washing machines, rice cookers, air conditioners, refrigerators... All traces of time and trademarks were erased by Xu Xiaoxiao. The color TVs and machine tools brought from the island country were sorted out and packed together. She also translated the texts in them into Chinese, printed them out, and then made them look old!
After sorting out these things, he used teleportation to find a suitable abandoned old factory and put all the sorted things in it. Then he wrote an anonymous letter, donating a batch of items for free, telling them where they were, and hoping that they could help them. He then secretly put it in the coat pocket of the highest leader of the institute.
Xu Xiaoxiao went back after finishing all this. Sure enough, the leader found the letter on the first day and immediately went to verify the situation. After finding out that it was not a prank, he was very happy to report it first, and then shipped the things back. After a series of meetings and discussions, those electrical appliances were distributed to various mechanical industry research institutes for research and development!
Xu Xiaoxiao was not worried at all that they would not be able to develop it. It was just a matter of time. After all, the correct answer was already here! Zou Wenyan was also busy with work, and Xu Xiaoxiao, the instigator, was secretly laughing.
In addition to taking care of the baby and designing clothes with her mother-in-law during work hours, Xu Xiaoxiao also makes all kinds of delicious food for her mother-in-law every now and then. Her life is busy and fulfilling, and she is very happy!
