Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

When Su Qingyu's letter was delivered to Chenzhou, it was already after the Lantern Festival.

Su Qingsong's eldest son was born on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. His mother raised him well, and he was white and fat when he was born, and he was loved by the whole family.

But Su's father and Su's mother were only happy for a few days, and then they couldn't be happy anymore.

The daughter-in-law thought they didn't know how to take care of the child, so she hired a wet nurse. Later, when she saw that one wet nurse was too busy, her in-laws sent another one.

Su's father and Su's mother felt a little uncomfortable. They had nothing to do and they happened to be taking care of their grandson.

But their daughter-in-law didn't even bring them to her. They can only visit a few times every day.

Although there are people everywhere now looking for something to do, and those looking for a job only want food and clothing and a shelter, not much. But the two wet nurses also need food, drink, and monthly payments.

And the daughter-in-law can’t breastfeed by herself?

How hard can breastfeeding be?

If you find it difficult, they can help you. The daughter-in-law takes care of her during the day, and they take care of her at night. There are also uncles and aunts at home who can help. Is it necessary for a small family to hire two wet nurses?

The couple didn't understand.

I just feel sorry for my son’s hard work.

Su Qingsong was a seventh-grade captain, and his salary was not high to begin with. When his son was born, a lot of new expenses were added.

Rice, noodles, vegetables, and vegetables are also expensive. My family often receives their salary at the beginning of the month, but it bottoms out at the end of the month.

The family has no other income except Su Qingsong's salary.

If the couple were still in the countryside, they would still be able to get some subsidies for rice, noodles and vegetables, but now the whole family has to rely on Qingsong for food and drink.

My daughter-in-law is also a spendthrift. A newborn needs to make good use of everything.

The diapers and old linen used for children feel wronged by the children. Use cotton or silk cloth.

It cost another fortune to bathe the child.

The daughter-in-law is not one to be outdone by others, and she made a big deal of hosting the child's baptism banquet. Many people came to her parents' house, and her daughter-in-law bought a lot of clothes and jewelry to show her face in front of her sisters.

But Qingyang Qingxing said it was cold in winter, and they couldn't even ask for a winter coat for their children.

If he spends Qingxing's money, his daughter-in-law will come to ask questions again.

The couple had no choice but to hide in the kitchen with Qing Yang and Qing Xing to keep warm.

Qingsong didn't even get a two-day break during his years, and was always out picking up jobs.

Su's father and Su's mother watched him go out in the morning and come back covered with stars and moon every day, with a layer of snow falling on his body and head, making him tremble with the cold. The couple saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts.

During the year, my son took them to the Gu family.

Everyone of the Gu family was well-dressed, with all kinds of jewelry on their hands and heads shining with all kinds of lights, but they were the only ones who were shabbily dressed.

The two of them didn't even have a bite to eat, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

At night, the couple tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, sighing.

Green poplars and green apricots don’t like to go out as soon as winter comes. It was so cold that I was shivering as soon as I left the house. The two of them stayed indoors during the day, or went to see their little nephew.

But later I didn’t want to go.

One time Qingxing came into the house and touched her nephew, but Gu Ruyue scolded her, saying that she had spread the coldness to the child.

Qingyang Qingxing was even more reluctant to leave the house. The brother and sister were bored staying at home. They wanted to write a letter to their sister, but they were afraid of wasting paper and ink.

This is how the New Year ends.

By the time I received the second letter from Su Qingyu, it was already the Lantern Festival and the end of the first year.

Su Qingsong came back with a big package. Su's mother, Su's father, and Qingyang Qingxing, everyone gathered around to watch excitedly.

Qingyang got those books and happily held them in her arms. She was so excited that she had tears in her eyes.

Qing Xing felt a lot warmer as she touched the fur again and again. Father Su and Mother Su touched and touched those rare mountain treasures.

The couple thought of their old days in Qiaotou Village and Fengting Town, feeling happy and nostalgic at the same time.

Su Qingsong held the golden bell and the two hundred taels of silver notes in his hands and remained silent.

Su's mother was still looking at various mountain products, but Su's father moved his eyes back from the mountain products and looked at Qingsong.

"Son, your sister said that you can use these two hundred taels to buy a small courtyard in the city so that our family can live there. What do you think? Or is this money not enough?"

Su Qingsong shook his head: "The money is enough. Nowadays, many people in the city have fled to the countryside or other places. There are a lot of empty houses in the city and they are not expensive. These two hundred taels can buy a better three-quarter house." Entered the hospital."

"That's good. It's enough for our family to live in." Mother Su was very happy when she heard this.

"My sister and Xiaobao are orphaned and widowed outside. Not only did I fail to help her, I also asked her to worry about me." Su Qingsong felt a little uncomfortable.

Su's father patted him on the shoulder: "The family doesn't speak the same language as those two families. Your sister has become enlightened since she got married, and she has quite a business acumen. Now that she is selling mountain goods, she can live a good life. You have to go. She also feels sorry for you and us, so she gives you money to buy a yard. It’s your sister’s wish.”

Su Qingnao was afraid that the letter would not fall into their hands, so she didn't say much else in the letter.

I just said that I collected some mountain products in the autumn and sold them, and got some money. Now that I live in the mountains, my life is relatively peaceful. After spring, we will open up some mountainous areas and plant some things.

Su's father was very moved after hearing this.

He doesn't know anything else except working in the fields.

I have worked in the fields all my life, and now I am free and living in the city. I face the yard when I get up, and I spend most of my time in the yard. Everything feels wrong.

If possible, he would like to find a young prostitute.

Su's mother also advised him: "Just keep what your sister gave you. Look for a suitable house in the city and buy a big one so that everyone can live there. It will be comfortable and happy."

Su Qingsong lowered his eyes.

He was not unaware of the atmosphere at home.

It's just that there are wives and children on one side, and parents and brothers on the other.

He was originally a country boy and didn't have much ability. By saving Master Ma's life, he could become a seventh-grade captain by his side. It was like smoke rising from his ancestral grave. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get any further in the future. .

Apart from having some strength, he is not very good at martial arts.

My little salary is barely enough to support my family.

But my wife’s expenses are too high and she always wants the best. She always has to compare with her sisters.

He had already said that he was just an ordinary country boy and could not compare with those children from wealthy aristocratic families, but his wife just couldn't listen.

Su Qingsong sighed: "Okay, then I'll go outside and look for it tomorrow."

Mother Su was very happy. Who wants to live in his daughter-in-law’s dowry house when he can live in his own house?

Then he said: "Okay. Ruyue is still in confinement, and your father can't go. Mom, please show her these things. It will also make her happy. Let Xiaoling take a look too, because her second aunt is thinking about him. , and gave him a gift. Look at this bell, our little Ling will be lively, cute and smart in the future."

Su Qingsong was very happy to hear this and followed Su's mother to carry the things to the backyard.
