daily quirks

Chapter 47

In today's society, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become one of the most difficult relationships for women after the relationship between rivals in love. Now that everything is developing, technology is changing with each passing day, and the three-year generation gap is present, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is even more difficult.In the Tang Dynasty, a long time ago, there was a poet Wang Jian who wrote a poem to express the difficulty of making new daughter-in-laws: "I went to the kitchen for three days, washed my hands and made soup. If you don't know how to eat, send your sister-in-law to taste it first." What What do you mean?That is to say, in ancient times, the third day after getting married was called "Three Dynasties". According to the custom, you have to cook by yourself, but in ancient times, it was the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Neither of them had seen it. Not to mention asking the newlyweds to cook at her husband's house in advance.So the newlywed mother didn't know the eating habits of the new mother-in-law at all at this time, so she had to ask the sister-in-law to taste it first.

But the current daughters-in-law, although they don't need to be the same as before, they wash their hands and make soup, and they are not familiar with the old-fashioned way. Many of them already knew each other before they passed the door, and many of them even lived together long ago.But now the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is more difficult than before. Why?Today's story is about the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the two families.

I have a relative who should be counted as my grandma’s generation according to the relationship. They are a pair of sisters. The sisters are not very old, that is, they are 50 years old. To put it bluntly, they are two 50-year-old aunts.But this pair of aunts and sisters has a background. This pair of aunts and sisters came from a scholarly family, and the family was originally the kind of strict family education. Let alone anything else, you won’t believe it. It’s in this era. Daddy In summer, everyone can wear as much as they want. This pair of aunts and sisters are still wearing long trousers and long skirts.

Do you think this is what the sisters like?Actually no, because when the sisters were children, there was a rule in their family that trousers and skirts should not be higher than the ankles.Can you imagine this?These two sisters, today, are full of shorts and short skirts on the street, and they have lived to be 50 years old, and they have never worn pants or skirts above the ankle.The most exaggerated is yet to come.

For this pair of sisters, the family rule is that the body, hair, skin and skin of the parents should not be damaged casually.So this pair of sisters have never cut their hair in their whole life, from birth to now.Everyone can imagine how long hair can grow in 50 years, I can tell you responsibly, it is the kind of hair washing that depends on people to help, and everyone is busy combing their hair.Not to mention washing your hair, as long as this hairstyle is skillful, the hair of this pair of sisters has never been loosened like the girls we have now in this life.When I was young, it was not allowed at home, and it was said that disheveled hair was shameful. When I grew up, it was not allowed. My long hair dragged the floor or something, and I would have to wash it soon. Washing my hair was very troublesome, so I kept my hair up all year round.

It is such a pair of sisters, the parents gave them very literary names, and they are called Qingyuan and Hongluan, which are very similar to the girls' names in ancient times.And today's story happened among these two sisters.

Although Qingyuan and Hongluan both married early, it is really not too early to have children according to the past. Both children are now in their thirties, and they are not yet married.

Qingyuan, as the elder sister, gave birth to a child named Xiaozheng, who is 29 years old today; Hongluan, as the younger sister, gave birth to a child named Xiaozhi, who is 30 years old today.Neither of them is married yet, which worries the two sisters.

This Xiaozheng is very capable. He is already a judge of the court at a young age, which is the pride of the whole family.

As for Xiaozhi, in everyone's opinion, he just did a very low-level job, he was a resident singer in a bar, but in conscience, although Xiaozhi looks rather ugly and sings, he can sing quite well, and It is a powerful singer.But the two sisters don't think this is a glorious thing, and they always think that this child is not good.

When Xiaozhi was 30 years old, both Xiaozhi and Xiaozheng met the girl in their lives.But the irony is that the two of them turned out to be a pair of girlfriends.

Xiaozhi's girlfriend is called Mika, this Mika is amazing, this Mika is a famous manga artist, still in graduate school, with a high degree of education, good looks, and a good family background, she is simply a daughter-in-law who fell from the sky, There is no dissatisfaction at all, at least it looks like this to Hong Luan now.

Compared with Mei Xia, Xiaozheng's girlfriend is much more ordinary, her name is Yanhua, she is from an ordinary family, she is just a white-collar worker, not to mention rushing to work on the subway from dawn to dusk, and working overtime from time to time. Compared with Meixia's family background and work, it is simply not enough. If there are any advantages, it is that Yanhua is the top leader in housework, housework and cooking. It is simply comparable to a professional housekeeping company. It can be compared with the famous big hotel.But Qingyuan is not satisfied with this daughter-in-law at all. Her child is so excellent, but this woman is so ordinary. What is the difference between marrying a nanny?

But the fact is such a coincidence. Everyone thinks that their girlfriends are not very suitable for these two people. If you say how to match them, some people may say that it is better to exchange them.

But the facts can't be explained by common sense, not to mention that love is blind, there is no reason, and there is no room for choice. To put it bluntly, it is to take one more look in the vast crowd, and you will never be able to forget your face.

With Qing Yuan and Hong Luan's objections to no avail, and Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zhi insisting on going their own way, the two held their wedding together on the same day and at the same place.

But it was after this marriage that problems arose.

Everyone thinks that the initial conflict should have occurred in Hongluan's home, because Xiaozhi's daughter-in-law and Xiaozhi are almost the same as Xiaozhi, and they are afraid that they will not have a common language if they talk more. How can they live together?

But it turns out that this is not the case. The first problem occurred was the pair Xiaozheng and Yanhua.The key point of this question is that Yanhua is too good at doing housework.

Xiaozheng's father, who is also Yanhua's father-in-law, is a civil servant and has retired. Now he is at home.And Xiaozheng's grandma is still alive, she is a very cute and foodie old lady.

The problem is not Yanhua and Xiaozheng, nor Yanhua and grandma, but Yanhua and Qingyuan.

Qingyuan felt that Yanhua was too good at housework.You will definitely say, do housework, how can you be too good at it, if you know it, you can, if you can’t, you can’t.But Yanhua is not the same as ordinary people. Let’s just talk about cooking. Normal people’s cooking is basically home-cooked food, but Yanhua is different. The snacks in many places are quite authentic, and even the seasonings used are special, which most people don't know or have heard of.

And this grandma of Xiaozheng happens to be a foodie.Xiaozheng's grandfather, when he was young, took Xiaozheng's grandma with him to travel and play everywhere, so grandma can basically be regarded as a famous foodie who eats all over the world.

Because of this, when Qing Yuan first got married, she suffered a lot.At that time, it still belonged to the era when you got married and all the housework was entrusted to you.At the beginning, Qing Yuan would politely ask her grandma what she wanted to eat, but Qing Yuan never knew what grandma said, so Qing Yuan gave up this idea later.But because Qing Yuan is still considered virtuous, and Xiao Zheng's father can be regarded as respectful to each other, and Qing Yuan is also considered a lady, from a scholarly family, even if she doesn't know how to cook, she can be regarded as a good daughter-in-law. After so many years, there is no contradiction.

But after Yanhua got married, things were different.

Yanhua can do anything, even grandma said that if she wants to eat rice cakes, Yanhua can make them at home.This made Yanhua's status in grandma's heart suddenly elevated, and it was that simple to establish a good relationship with foodies.

At this time, although Qing Yuan was upset, she couldn't say anything. After all, she was incompetent and others were amazing, so what could she do?

But gradually, this Qingyuan discovered that Yanhua was not only powerful, but simply too powerful.

Xiaozheng's family is in a very good family. The house they live in is very big. There are three floors of small villas. The area is not small. There is also a small attic, an entrance garden, and a garage.Generally speaking, such a family will hire one or two nannies.But just after Yanhua got married, the nanny quit. The reason is that Yanhua hoped that the nanny would wipe it with a towel after vacuuming, so that it would be cleaner.

But everyone knows that it doesn't matter if this is an ordinary small house with a few tens of square meters, but Xiaozheng's house is a large villa with hundreds of square meters. How is it possible to do this?What's more, even if you want to mop the floor, you don't need to lie on the ground and wipe it with a towel. You can use a mop to mop it. Isn't that the same?

But Yanhua disagreed and insisted on the nanny doing this. After getting the nanny's refusal, Yanhua started rubbing it by herself.

But it doesn't matter if you wipe it, it will cause problems.Within a few days, Yanhua fell ill and passed out.At this moment, everyone panicked, this is not to be seen, it makes people sick from exhaustion, and it is not good to spread the word.

Therefore, when Yanhua was exhausted, Qingyuan sometimes helped the nanny to do some things, so that the nanny could take care of Yanhua wholeheartedly.

Under everyone's care, Yanhua recovered quickly.At this time, Yanhua proposed to fire the nanny and take over the housework by herself.

Naturally, everyone would not agree to this. The house is so big, there are so many things to do every day, and so many people have to eat inside and out, how can one person be busy? willing to resign.

But Yanhua knew that everyone would not agree, so she secretly resigned the nanny and paid the nanny an extra month's salary out of her own pocket.

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied with this first cut and then played, everyone couldn't say anything, everyone left, and it would take a while to find a nanny, so let Yanhua do it first.

So Yanhua began to take care of all the housework.

Just talking about mopping the floor, Yanhua wiped it with a towel after vacuuming. If you don’t see it, it doesn’t matter. If you see it, who can see it, so many people will help. The first one to help is Yanhua's father-in-law, Xiaozheng's father.

This father, he retired at home, went out to chat with friends when he had nothing to do, played ball games and so on, and lived a comfortable retirement life.But once, when my father came back from playing ball with others, he saw Yanhua lying on the ground wiping the floor. He couldn't bear it all of a sudden, so he offered to help Yanhua wipe the floor.This Yanhua must refuse, but it is definitely useless to refuse.

So when Qing Yuan came back, she saw her husband. After so many years, it can be said that his ten fingers do not touch Yangchun water, and he can't even cook instant noodles. Now he is mopping the floor, while his daughter-in-law is watching, This Qing Yuan didn't slap her in the face all of a sudden, she stepped forward and slapped Yanhua, which stunned Yanhua and frightened her father.

Then there is a family war.

Qingyuan thinks that Yanhua deliberately tricked her father to clean the floor, and said that her father is a father-in-law and not like a father-in-law, so she let her daughter-in-law do whatever she wants.

Of course, Dad helped Yanhua speak, saying that he saw Yanhua mopping the floor and asked for help, but Qingyuan definitely wouldn't listen.

Yanhua was also very aggrieved, saying that she didn't order her father to wipe the floor, but that her father had to help her and she couldn't do anything.

But Qingyuan felt that Yanhua had ulterior motives. First she secretly fired the nanny, then ordered her father-in-law to mop the floor, and she might not know what to do next.

Anyway, this family battle ended with Dad getting angry and Yanhua apologizing. Although everyone has already turned the page, this incident has left a knot in Qingyuan's heart, and she doesn't want to see Yanhua even more.

And grandma is very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law who can cook delicious food from all over the world, especially when she sees Yanhua doing housework meticulously and seriously, and treating her elders with respect and courtesy, she loves her very much.Sometimes she would even help Yanhua wipe off her sweat, and even fan Yanhua who was resting aside.

Because of this, Qingyuan often complains to Hongluan, saying that this daughter-in-law has ulterior motives, she originally intended to please grandma, but now she has only been in the house for a few days, and she starts to order her father-in-law to do housework, and she doesn't know what she will do by then.

Now that everyone speaks for Yanhua, Qingyuan feels even more uncomfortable.Especially thinking about my own son, who wants to have a good appearance, a job to have a job, and a family to have a family, and finally married such a nanny, I feel very uncomfortable.Looking at this daughter-in-law, apart from being the head of housework, she has no education, no job, and no good looks. Let alone other things, how can I match my son? My son should find a good family, even if he doesn't find a rich man's daughter , at least find a filial and straight daughter-in-law, at least a graduate student, and she is worthy, but now this, what is it, it is no different from marrying a nanny.
