Author | Zhang Xiaohui

Luo Jinfeng put the two dishes and a soup that were not hot and cold for the daughter-in-law to eat first, took the baby from the daughter-in-law's arms, changed the diaper, washed the fart, wiped the buttock cream, and then wrapped the child comfortably and put it back on the bed, looked at the mobile phone, and went to work.

Daughter-in-law eats slowly, saying that during the month to eat carefully chew slowly, otherwise it hurts the stomach, it is also right, but it can not be so slow, Luo Jinfeng hurriedly collected the dishes and chopsticks and hurried away.

Seeing that it was too late, she had to say to her daughter-in-law, just put the bowl there after eating, and wait for a little later to come back and brush it.

The daughter-in-law looked at Luo Jinfeng doubtfully, "Mom, what are you anxious about?" ”。

Luo Jinfeng hesitated for a moment, or said, "I just found a job, and I don't delay cooking for you and watching the children, that is, I will go to three meals a day."

The daughter-in-law who was eating stopped and stared at Luo Jinfeng and said, "Mom, what time is this, how come I remembered to look for a job at this time?" ”。

Luo Jinfeng also felt that it was not appropriate, the daughter-in-law had more than ten days to come out of the confinement, and when she went out to work, she had to wait for the child to be full moon, but this job was indeed very suitable for herself, the key is that Luo Jinfeng needed a month's salary of thousands of yuan.

"I won't delay cooking for you, you can rest assured, the place to work is close to home, and I'll cook for you when I come back from cooking." At night or I manage the children, and you rest yours." Luo Jinfeng couldn't care less about the expression of his daughter-in-law behind him, and hurriedly changed his clothes and went out.

Luo Jinfeng is fifty-five years old this year, his waist is still there, wearing fifty-nine yuan to buy two pairs of wide-legged pants, still waist is waist crotch is crotch, walking or foot wind, not at all like the three grandchildren and three granddaughters of the grandmother-level aunt, to the company to apply for a chef, directly left to cook.

Daughter-in-law confinement as a mother-in-law to go out to work, there is no way, Luo Jinfeng is the second marriage, the husband old Jin has two sons, Luo Jinfeng and his daughter-in-law, easily mixed with a full house of children and grandchildren, here the blessings of Sun Mantang are not easy to enjoy, Luo Jinfeng has been waiting for six months, his two daughters are confinement, Luo Jinfeng personally takes care of her, she does not trust her son-in-law, nor does she trust her daughter-in-law,She did not want her daughter-in-law to suffer the sins she suffered in the past, but she did not want her daughter to suffer again.

Waiting for his own daughter-in-law's confinement, the daughter-in-law's confinement should be served well, old Jin treats the two girls well, and repays the peach, Luo Jinfeng also takes old Jin's two sons as his own children, and he is more cautious than his own.

Just waiting for the confinement to see the child is not OK, good for the child, not only by mouth, the daughter-in-law gives birth to a child, to seal a big red packet, and the use of eating in the month, always can not reach out and ask the child to buy it, can only post money themselves, the old gold culture is not high, there is no craftsmanship, can only do a coolie at the construction site, these years the work of the construction site is intermittent, listening to hundreds of a day, but there are many months a year is no work, these years, this child married that child, which time can not use money to talk, Luo Jinfeng's two sons have not saved a few money in their hands, this is not, the youngest son has children, and he can survive for a few more years.

Luo Jinfeng hurriedly rushed to the company, hurried to find rice steaming, and then washed vegetables and cut vegetables, finally had a little free time, she opened her mobile phone, followed the music in the kitchen door danced a square dance, it was not easy to learn, recently busy no time to dance, footsteps can not keep up with the rhythm of music.

Just found a little feeling, someone behind me came over", "Big sister, there are guests to eat at noon, do more dishes" is the vice president of the company came over.

Luo Jinfeng hurriedly agreed, went into the kitchen to open the refrigerator, and saw what dishes could be cooked.

Come to this company to cook for a few days, Luo Jinfeng has no bottom in his heart, the meal does not know how much to do, the dish is rich to what extent is also tempting, there are not many people eating in the canteen, more than a dozen people, Luo Jinfeng is still careful to do each meal, do more, afraid of the boss feel wasted, do less, and afraid of not eating enough, employees have opinions, buy vegetables are also very tangled, buy vegetables more and less, cheap and expensive, meat and vegetarian collocation, Luo Jinfeng have to do a step to see a step, the dishes are rich, afraid of the boss said to spend more money, dishes are not rich, also afraid of employees have opinions, When I came to apply, I said that it was a one-month probationary period, and it was up to the employees to see how they reacted.

A few days after doing it, Luo Jinfeng just touched a little clue, she prepared a little more every time, but did not do so much, she did not eat first, watching everyone eat almost, Luo Jinfeng dared to serve the bowl, a look at which dish was fast, and some people did not eat has reached the bottom, Luo Jinfeng quickly got up to make another one.

Luo Jinfeng's daughter-in-law said that their hometown confinement to eat seven meals a day, eat less and more meals, she does not require so much, afraid of eating fat, just make five meals, the confinement meal is not difficult to do, but to boil soup, what black chicken soup pig's trotter soup crucian carp soup, are to be simmered slowly, boiling soup is kung fu, fortunately, the little grandson still takes care of this grandmother, in addition to eating and drinking Lasa almost all sleep, but this Luo Jinfeng has to get up at least three times a night. The child cried, changed the diaper, the child cried again, it was time to breastfeed, toss several times a night, Luo Jinfeng always felt that he had not fallen asleep yet, and it was time to get up again.

One day is to cook and cook, the company has three meals, the daughter-in-law has five meals, plus the old Jin arrived home late at night, left early in the morning, and then made two meals alone, Luo Jinfeng at least ten times a day to do meals, a day down, I don't know how many dishes are brushed and washed how many times the pot is washed.

After cooking at the company, looking almost ready to eat, Luo Jinfeng tentatively asked, "Who else hasn't come to eat?" ”。 Several people who were eating looked up, some people said that it seemed that who had not yet eaten, Luo Jinfeng was anxious, and it was not easy to show it, and the daughter-in-law was still waiting to go back to cooking!

After all, everyone had eaten, Luo Jinfeng quickly cleaned up the kitchen, washed the dishes and wiped the table and mopped the floor, to see if the time was not early again, how could this time be so unused? I didn't see anything to do every day, and time was whizzing away.

Clean up the kitchen, Luo Jinfeng rode on the car to rush to her son's house, she also washed the dishes in advance, the confinement meal is not complicated, but it is difficult to eat several meals a day, there are many tricks, can not eat the next meal or the same meal again, in order to do nutritious and more tricks, Luo Jinfeng specially followed the vibrato to learn a lot of confinement meals, the daughter-in-law is still satisfied.

"Mom, what do you think of your baby's face?" Acne out! ”

Entering the door, the daughter-in-law shouted anxiously, Luo Jinfeng changed her clothes, washed her hands, and trotted all the way to the daughter-in-law's bedside, and sure enough, the baby's original pink little face had a lot of small acne.

"It doesn't matter, this is eczema, you eat a little lighter, look at it is not a protein allergy, it's okay, let's observe for a few days, don't cover the child too thickly, it's not hot." This is the sixth confinement of Luo Jinfeng's care, and he has accumulated a lot of experience.

The daughter-in-law whispered, I haven't eaten anything, I have to be nutritious, and I have to breastfeed.

Have not eaten anything, dead expensive prawns, turtles, pigeons, Luo Jinfeng herself is not willing to drink soup, but the eyes do not blink to buy for the daughter-in-law to eat, the woman's family, the puerperium period is very important, Luo Jinfeng can not be clearer, so she is willing to go out to work, but also to buy good food for the daughter-in-law.

After the daughter-in-law finished eating, Luo Jinfeng took the time to go back to his home, the same village in the urban-rural junction, Luo Jinfeng rented a one-bedroom apartment in Xitou, less than five hundred meters from the place where his son rented the house, the distance of the real bowl of soup, Luo Jinfeng used to send his daughter-in-law a hot bun that had just come out of the pot, hot fritters, but never took a grain of rice back to his home from his daughter-in-law.

Luo Jinfeng wants to go home to make a meal for her husband Old Jin, men work very hard at the construction site, although Luo Jinfeng is also very hard to cook ten times a day, but compared to Old Jin, Luo Jinfeng feels that it is still more difficult for Old Jin, he is still doing hard work in his fifties, he has to wait well, although this man she married twice has no great ability, fortunately, he is down-to-earth and willing to work, he does not talk much, people are a bit stuffy, but he is not as clever as his ex-husband, he drinks too much and likes to use force, old Jin is still a good husband.

Back home, Luo Jinfeng fried a green vegetable, mixed some pork head meat, the millet porridge in the pot was almost boiled, and Old Jin rushed to the house with the meal.

Luo Jinfeng put the meal on the table, turned to the mirror and applied plaster to the cervical spine, but found that his arm hurt so much that he could not lift it. Old Jin looked at Luo Jinfeng and said, "What kind of work are you looking for?" Tired of this, if you can't do it, don't do it! ”

Cooking is not tired, take the grandchildren to sleep at night, one side of the arm always dare not put it randomly, who knows it will hurt like this.

"I'm not tired, it may be cold shoulders" Luo Jinfeng finally aligned his position and put the plaster on.

"I see that you are used to them, the children let them bring their own, you cook the meal and come back to live, you have to live as an old mother." 」

Old Jin said so on his lips, Luo Jinfeng did not dare to take it seriously, the second marriage, is not as good as the marriage of the couple, the child is the common of the two people, there is a strong place to make, the heart to think, in the end is a layer apart, more than a polite.

"I'm worried that they can't bring their children well, they can't take care of themselves, and you still let them manage their children, teach them first, and then say after they adapt."

Old Kim stopped talking and grunted and drank porridge.

"This job is quite suitable, nothing is delayed, the salary is not much, and it can always be subsidized." Luo Jinfeng wanted to explain that what she wanted to express was that she did not delay serving the confinement.

Old Jin still did not speak, ate vegetables, poured himself a small glass of white wine, and drank it with pig's head meat.

Luo Jinfeng watched the old Jin eat slowly, a little anxious, since the beginning of the three places to cook, Luo Jinfeng especially likes to pay attention to how much and speed others eat, she hopes that the old Jin can eat quickly, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks to go to the daughter-in-law to take the children, the daughter-in-law and the baby's clothes, Luo Jinfeng are hand washed, the daughter-in-law said that she is afraid of putting the washing machine and other clothes together with the infection bacteria, Luo Jinfeng waits for the confinement originally includes washing clothes, the daughter-in-law said that it must be hand washed, then hand wash it, now young people pay more attention to it, Since it is to serve the confinement, let's listen to the mother.

"Can you eat faster, I still have to go and wash my clothes."

Old Jin looked up and said, "You go, I've cleaned it up myself, I'm tired for a day, I'll enjoy it."

That's also true, Luo Jinfeng said if you are too tired, don't brush it, put it aside, I will come back tomorrow to cook and brush it by the way.

Luo Jinfeng cherished this reorganized family very much, she always wanted to take care of everything, and everyone in the family was satisfied. Go out to work, but also for her own hands a little money, she never dared to tell the old Jin, she also managed the pocket money of the former mother-in-law, although the old man resigned every time, Luo Jinfeng knew that the old man needed, there was no income, he counted on that little low guarantee, and then save there was also a place to use the money, Luo Jinfeng gave the old man a few hundred dollars a month, so that the old man had confidence in his heart, the ex-husband was not the same, the mother-in-law was good, just because there was a good mother-in-law, the ex-husband was so unobtrusive, and also liked to move roughly, Luo Jinfeng did not think about divorce, It wasn't that the person who didn't drink too much wine was gone later, Luo Jinfeng would live with him until he was old.

Ten meals a day, half a month to do down, Luo Jinfeng has become accustomed to, where to cook is cooked, the company's more than a dozen eating staff are also familiar with, she remembered who likes to eat spicy, who does not eat ginger, who likes rice, who likes to eat noodles, Luo Jinfeng can also try to spend less money to make meals more hearty, who makes money is not easy, people's bosses do business is not easy, whose money can not be wasted.

Seeing that the daughter-in-law is about to be full moon, Luo Jinfeng can breathe a sigh of relief, make two meals a day less, the company looks like everyone is still satisfied, there should be no problem in turning right, Luo Jinfeng secretly grew a breath, another month of service is finished, four children, if you want two children, you will wait for two months on the line, the old jin age is a year older, you can't always do the construction site, in a few years to change a lighter job, look at a gate to see a car, how much to earn on the line.

Thinking that the little grandson would have a full moon one day, Luo Jinfeng went to the vegetable market to buy an old hen and stew a pot of soup, and this time the confinement meal was complete.

"Mom, today my aunt called, she said that according to science, the confinement should be a double full moon, that is better for the health of the mother and baby" Luo Jinfeng took the hand of the hen and suddenly lost strength, she put down the things she was carrying, and said weakly, "Then let's sit for two months, confinement is not a few times in a lifetime, can not be sloppy."

"Mom, how come you can't catch your breath, what's wrong?"the daughter-in-law asked.

Luo Jinfeng squeezed out a smile, "It's okay, it's a little tired to go upstairs, you see I bought a hen, then boil some chicken soup, put astragalus and jujube, and replenish your qi and blood."

"Thank you Mom!"

"This child, thank you!"

Two months for two months, don't you want to cook another month's meal? Luo Jinfeng said in his heart.

The daughter-in-law's side cleaned up Liso, Luo Jinfeng went out to buy tofu skin and brine chicken feet, and Old Jin was coming back to eat.

A cold mixed tofu skin, a brine chicken feet, and then make a bowl of egg noodles, cooking is really quite simple, Luo Jinfeng comforted himself.

Old Jin went home to wash his hands and eat, Luo Jinfeng's mobile phone rang, "Big sister, through this period of trial, you are actually doing a good job, that is, several times are packed too early, there are several classes of return has no food, you may have something at home, so, if you can't take care of it, first handle the family affairs well, we will have the opportunity to cooperate later!" ”。

Luo Jinfeng put away her mobile phone and sat down opposite Old Jin, hoping that Old Jin would ask, "What's the matter?" Whose phone is it? ”。 Old Jin Zheng took the chicken feet in one hand and held the wine glass in the other, not caring at all that Luo Jinfeng answered the phone.

"Old Kim, I lost my job, and people don't need me."

"No, no, just rest at home, and see if I can make you hungry or frozen." Old Jin said very righteously, Luo Jinfeng smiled bitterly, did not speak, old Jin is very good at living, a penny in the pocket do not want to take out, counting on him? There is no problem with eating by yourself, if you want to patch up your mother's family, you are reluctant, not to mention the former mother-in-law, Luo Jinfeng did not think about it.

Luo Jinfeng quickly contacted the old sisters in the same village on WeChat and asked them to recommend jobs to themselves.

Putting down the mobile phone, Luo Jinfeng got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly her eyes went black, and she heard old Jin shouting, "JinFeng Jinfeng, Jinfeng, what's wrong with you?" ”。

Luo Jinfeng wanted to answer, but she couldn't shout, she was very tired and sleepy, she just wanted to fall into a deep sleep, and finally she could rest...
