Rural life in America

Chapter 264 Advice to Parents
Zhang Jianye came home, happily holding a teacup; he went straight to the kitchen, because he knew that the whole family basically stayed in the kitchen now.

The two little guys, Xixi and Yoyo, are staying in the kitchen, wanting to eat and play games.

Zhang Hao was sitting in the kitchen, helping the two little girls peel sunflower seeds; seeing his father came back, Zhang Hao smiled and started gossiping, "Dad, how are you feeling?"

Zhang Jianye smiled and stretched out a hand to gesture.

I understand, looking at Dad's appearance, it is estimated that about 500 yuan went into other people's pockets.

Yu Xiu also laughed, and said with a smile, "Yo, 500 yuan? You used to be able to play poker for a day with 50 yuan, but now 500 yuan for a morning is not enough. People play cards better and better, but your skills are always good." Didn't improve."

Zhang Jianye didn't think that his card skills had declined, so he threw the pot away, "Isn't this a blow, Yoyo called me to turn the bottom, that card is more ruthless."

The two little guys didn't care about these things, they were still playing games happily, and the two little girls kept coming to grandma's side; not only wanted to see what grandma was cooking, but also wanted to stick with grandma for a while .

Even for a while, especially Yoyo, she is really clinging to grandma now, she really misses grandma.

After lunch, the two little girls played games for a while and took a nap; the nap lasted more than an hour, and it must be more.

Dad went to play cards, and Zhang Hao went to become a dog-headed military adviser; this time, he didn't just stand by for a while before leaving, but now he can watch for a while, and even make suggestions, which feels very good.

It's just that it's not enough yet, Christina came over, "Honey, Xixi and Yoyo woke up, we're going to take them to school, they want to play ball."

Zhang Hao was taken aback, and asked, "Do you want me to go this time?"

Christina nodded straight, and said with certainty, "Yes, I have discussed it with them."

There is nothing to say, although Zhang Hao thinks it is very interesting to watch the game, but he has a child, of course the child is the oldest.

He and Christina took the two little girls to elementary school. The so-called playing ball is two little girls running around on the lawn holding a toy ball. It is enough to see the two little girls happy.

Christina leaned in Zhang Hao's arms, and was very happy to see the children running around. Just take care of the children, chatting is the main thing for the two of them now, "Did you find that father and mother are happier and more adaptable when they come back here. "

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "I have the same feeling. They really like the ranch, but we all know there that their main life revolves around us. But here, they are more comfortable."

The little follower, Xixi, was running around with her sister, and the two little girls were happily running around kicking a small ball.

Christina thought for a while and said, "Can we discuss it with Mom and Dad, and they will be in their hometown after the Chinese New Year. I know Mom misses Yoyo very much, but she needs to take care of Xixi. I think we can take care of Xixi now." Good Xixi, I don't think I need my mother to take care of me now."

Zhang Hao was taken aback, and asked, "You mean the two of us will take Xixi back to the ranch, while father and mother stay at home?"

Christina nodded and said, "I think so, Mom and Dad can't live around us all the time, they have their own lives. And I feel good now, we have time, we have the ability to take care of ourselves, of course because of me It looks great now, even though I'm a pregnant woman now."

Zhang Hao still felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that what Christina said was reasonable, but he just couldn't get used to it.

Christina is only three months pregnant now, and although she needs to be taken care of now, it's just not too troublesome.Moreover, Zhang Hao and Christina's work is not too busy. In fact, they spend almost all day on the ranch, and they are not the kind of busy office workers at all.

Seeing that Zhang Hao was still hesitant, Christina suggested, "Mom likes and cares about Yoyo very much, we can't be so selfish. I think maybe she will come back to the pasture in summer to take care of us and Xixi. But Now, she needs a lot of company with Yoyo."

Well, Zhang Hao really felt that this might be a good and correct suggestion.

Mom really misses Yoyo very much. Before there was no granddaughter Xixi, mom always took care of Yoyo.But in the past three years, my mother rarely had time to take care of Yoyo. If she said she didn't want her granddaughter, it would be a lie. Even if the economic conditions are good now, she would often go back to China, but she would only stay for a week each time. about time.

Mom and Dad miss Yoyo, and Yoyo actually misses grandparents; the other one is that Xixi is now three years old, and the little guy is actually not that difficult to take care of, or it’s not that Zhang Hao can’t take care of children now, he thinks he can take care of children. Children's words are not so difficult, in fact, it can be done.

Mom and Dad are really doing well on the ranch. Dad is basically a cowboy now, and he is very used to life on the ranch; mom is basically busy at home taking care of the life of the family, and she really doesn’t feel that she is on the ranch. There is nothing wrong with life.

It's just that in the United States, even if there is no need to worry about the material foundation at all, the ranch is a foreign country. For parents who have lived in China for most of their lives, they must have various habits. They are not as good as young people. No matter how happy they are in the ranch, they still feel uncomfortable sometimes.

Of course, for parents, they are taking their baby granddaughter with them now, but they will also think about their granddaughter.

You can't be so selfish, and you can't just keep asking your parents to pay; I have to admit that Zhang Hao knows that if his parents return to China, his little life will definitely not be so nourishing, but now he can't just think about his own little life.

Thinking of his father happily running out to play cards with a teacup in his hand these days, thinking of his mother going to chat with neighbors after finishing her homework every day, and occasionally going to play mahjong at night, Zhang Hao knew that his father was always in a good mood. Mom is really familiar with and enjoys life in her hometown.

Back home, Zhang Hao thought it would be good to discuss this matter with his mother.

"Mom, I discussed it with Tina today. In the first half of the year, you will not go to the ranch. You will stay at your hometown, take care of yourself, and have a rest. You will go there during the summer vacation, and Tina will soon be there. There's a baby."

Yu Xiu was taken aback, and said a little unhappy, "You don't want me to go to the ranch?"

Zhang Hao hurriedly explained that he had to make it clear so that his mother would not misunderstand, "It's really not. Of course I am happy when you go to the ranch, and I am also very happy. But I am afraid that the boss and sister-in-law will feel uncomfortable and feel that you and dad are biased. Another thing is that you have been in the United States for the past three years, and you definitely want to stay in your hometown for a while. Xixi is a little older now, and Tina and I can take good care of them. But when Tina is about to have a baby, you At least three or four years will be inseparable, and I will be staying in the ranch."

Yu Xiu thought about it, it's not that the younger son disliked her at the ranch and wanted to drive her back to her hometown; of course she also knew that it was the younger son who was doing it for her own good, but she was still a little worried. "Xixi can't do it now, she's still young."

Zhang Hao smiled and said confidently, "I'm really not worried about this. I don't go to work much anyway, so it's okay to take Xixi with me. Besides, I'll give you a holiday for the first half of the year, but if there is something The matter is definitely for you to help us, it doesn't mean that you are at home and go back to the ranch when you miss Xixi, but just stay in your hometown for a while, accompany Yoyo, and relax yourself."

Yu Xiu still didn't agree, and said hesitantly, "Then I'll run with your dad in the first half of the year."

Zhang Hao smiled and persuaded, "If you really asked you to run on both sides, you would have done it long ago. You are tired from running around, and you can't just stay at home for a few days at a time. I think you will still be at home for the first half of the year. Wait more. It’s true that in the second half of the year, Tina gave birth to a baby, and she will basically be inseparable for two or three years. Then she will stay on the ranch. I just want you to stay at home because I don’t want to see you running around. I'll give you half a year off before going to take care of the kids."

Yu Xiu was very happy, and felt that her youngest son was still very filial, although she still had to help with the child, even though she still had to go to the ranch.But this is also a way for the youngest son to feel sorry for her. Of course, she knew that if she went to the ranch, it would be easier for the youngest son, but the youngest son did not do this.

Christina also persuaded, "Mom, I think so too. If I am about to have a baby, if the baby is born, we will definitely be inseparable from you. You will need to stay on the ranch for a long time. We hope that now Xixi You are more independent, and when Hao and I can take good care of her, you can relax."

Yu Xiu still hasn't made up her mind, she still has a lot of hesitation, "Xixi can't leave me, you have the Triple Crown in the first half of the year, and the ranch is also busy in the first half of the year, so you can take Xixi with you all day. Don't have time?"

Christina was very confident, and spoke first, "Mom, I will resign. I feel a little inconvenient now. I don't want to go to work with a big belly. It's not good for me or my children. This is the home The advantage of being rich, we don’t need to worry about making money, I can take care of Xixi, and Hao can take care of me.”

This is also something that Zhang Hao and Christina discussed. Christina is just pregnant, and she is not affected much now.However, as she slowly began to show her pregnancy, she naturally became more and more uncomfortable; since the family does not have any financial pressure now, Christina naturally does not have to work hard.

This matter really needs to be discussed in the long run, and it needs to be discussed carefully.Of course, the opinion of parents is the most important.
