Wu Fei chose a natural delivery instead of a caesarean section when she gave birth. Originally, she only needed one or two days of observation in the hospital before she could be discharged. However, Su Mingzhe was a little uneasy and asked Wu Fei to stay in the hospital for two more days. He was already close to his due date. He immediately took paternity leave and stayed with her in the hospital during this period.
There is no legally paid maternity leave in the United States, but the specific implementation mainly depends on how each company does it. Generally speaking, most companies in Silicon Valley will implement a paid maternity leave system, and the salary is paid by the insurance company.
Zhao Meilan rarely went to play cards these days. She prepared Wu Fei's three meals a day, and then Su Mingzhe came back to pick them up. During this period, Wu Fei's parents also came to the United States. They didn't have any thoughts of favoring boys over girls. Instead, they felt that Hello girl, considerate cotton-padded jacket, so nice.
Wu Fei's parents are both college students. In the past world, college students in the 1970s and 1980s could almost do well as long as they were a little smarter. Although Wu Fei's family is not rich, they still have assets, among other things. The few houses compensated for demolition are worth a lot of money.
In the past few years, Wu Fei's parents have come over once or twice a year to visit their daughter. For this reason, they also deliberately picked up books and learned English. Although they are not very proficient, it is not a problem to use it for daily communication. Their arrival It also liberated Su Mingzhe from having to travel back and forth one or three times, and could stay at the hospital with peace of mind.
The important task of delivering meals was taken over by Wu Fei's parents. The old couple had heard Wu Fei mention that her mother-in-law Zhao Meilan was somewhat patriarchal, but after getting along with each other, they felt that their daughter seemed to be exaggerating.
No, if she had given birth to a girl according to her daughter's law, then Zhao Meilan would not have reacted at all, at least she would not have been as conscientious as she is now.
The reason why they rushed over in a hurry was because Zhao Meilan did not take care of them and encouraged them. The result was not as Wu Fei expected. On the contrary, although the performance of the mother-in-law could not be said to be perfect, the previous sentence of "hardworking and uncomplaining" is not an exaggeration. Ah, Wu’s father also treated his wife in private.
"It seems that Fei Fei still spends too little time with his biological mother. It is inevitable that he will be biased."
Mother Wu nodded in agreement. She felt that she should find an opportunity to have a good talk with her daughter. Although they had not met Zhao Meilan many times, judging from her performance this time, she was undoubtedly a qualified mother-in-law. , I need to teach my daughter how to get along with her mother-in-law.
In fact, this is not to blame Wu Fei's parents for seeing the wrong person. The main reason is that Zhao Meilan's behavior these days is too confusing. Zhao Meilan may not realize that she subconsciously feels guilty for losing so much money. She thinks she is good. No, it's actually not good. It's just that the guilt has been buried deeper, and coupled with the usual chatting with fellow mahjong friends when playing cards, it has been more or less affected.
After Wu Fei gave birth to her child, she enjoyed treatment like an 'emperor'. She had professional escorts at the hospital, and a group of people surrounded her when she returned home.
Su Mingzhe also specially found a confinement nanny in a regular agency. Since there are many Chinese people who go to the United States to give birth, there are more and more confinement nanny agencies on the market in recent years. However, most confinement nanny are illegal workers. Su Mingzhe If you earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, you will naturally not go to a "black job". You would rather pay a little more to hire a professional.
Originally, when Wu Fei didn't go home, Wu Fei's parents thought that his biological mother was okay. However, as Wu Fei began to return home for confinement, Zhao Meilan's attitude changed subtly. Although she had done everything she needed to do, That attitude seemed less sincere, and there was no real joy from the heart.
Faced with this situation, Wu Fei's parents did nothing. They just quietly took over some of the work that originally belonged to Zhao Meilan and asked her to play cards when she had time. Zhao Meilan shied away at first, but after a while, she let it go. This paragraph She hadn't played a game of cards in that time, and her hands were really itchy. If she hadn't been looking at her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she would probably have taken the time to touch a few.
The two parties reached an 'agreement' that Su Daqiang and his wife would take care of Wu Fei in the morning, Wu Fei's parents would take care of him in the afternoon, and everyone would take care of him together in the evening.
A month passed by in the blink of an eye. Wu was informally pregnant, but she did not go to work immediately. She took a total of 12 weeks of maternity leave this time. Excluding the month before giving birth, she still had one month of leave left. , mainly because she hasn't figured out yet whether she should follow Su Mingzhe's advice and choose to be a stay-at-home mother.
There are more and more users of the APP that will burn after reading, especially among young people. Its valuation is rising like a balloon. The data performance is extremely eye-catching. The fastest growing company in Silicon Valley this year is not after reading. That means burning.
Among them, Su Mingzhe did not take much credit for the technical aspect. His income naturally increased. Now and then, Wu Fei originally refused to resign because he wanted to leave a way out. Now she feels that there is no need to stay anymore. To put it bluntly, she has to take a step back. , even if Li Jie's business fails and the company goes bankrupt, Su Mingzhe will not lack job opportunities afterwards. Even if the salary is not as good as now, it is still much better than the previous job.
Anyway, there is still a month until Wu Fei's maternity leave ends. She still has enough time to think about it, and there is no need to make a decision so quickly.
Zhao Meilan was neither blind nor deaf. She saw all the sincere care from her father-in-law and mother-in-law. The key was that these two people loved their granddaughter so much that they were even happier than giving birth to a boy.
It would have been difficult for Zhao Meilan to understand their thoughts before coming to the United States. However, during this period of time, under Li Jie's instruction, her group of "money friends" brainwashed her repeatedly and instilled the idea of equality between men and women. In the long run, she would inevitably suffer With some influence, she can also understand some of the other party's thoughts.
'Are you really wrong? '
Comparing her feelings with her own, Zhao Meilan couldn't help but ask herself, could it be that the 'education' she had received (actually it was poison, she thought it was education) was really wrong?
It doesn't take a day to break through the stone. Zhao Meilan has adhered to the code of conduct for so many years and is not so easy to shake. Whenever she doubts herself, her parents' words to her will echo in her mind, but she is shaken after all. , for the first time in my life, I began to doubt whether it was wrong to favor sons over daughters.
When Zhao Meilan saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law caring about Wu Fei, she couldn't help but think of her daughter.
'Was it wrong for me to treat Mingyu like that? '
Then he remembered that Su Mingyu had lost contact with her family since the quarrel, and she could only hear part of her daughter's situation from her eldest son.
'Are you too incompetent? '
