This kid really lacks self-confidence.
With him 'protecting' him from behind, he is still afraid that he will not be able to serve as a small village party secretary?
"Well, look at you, you are just worrying about it. What can't a branch secretary do?"
With the faint moonlight, Ma Defu could clearly see the expression on his father's face. Compared to his own hesitation, his father's expression was exactly the opposite of his. The other man's face was full of confidence.
To my father, this matter was not worth mentioning.
After hesitating for a while, Ma Defu spoke.
"Dad, uh... uh, I think it would be better for you to be the village party secretary."
"What are you thinking about?" Li Jie patted his head and pretended to be angry: "How old is your father this year? He has worked hard for most of his life, and he can't enjoy peace and happiness? Besides, what if he continues to be a branch secretary? , Well, who will take care of the unborn grandson?"
Although Ma Defu is currently just a clerk with no rank, because he works in the Poverty Alleviation Office, he is usually very busy at work, especially when a new batch of farmers arrive. It is not uncommon to be busy until midnight.
Fortunately, Shui Hua is not the kind of woman who doesn't know the general situation. Although she is pregnant and needs care, she has never complained.
Not only that, she also supports Ma Defu's work. Whenever Ma Defu encounters a difficult problem, she will take the initiative to relieve her husband and help him find a solution together.
Diaozhuang immigration is a long-term policy, and the immigration work will definitely not end in a short period of time. It is foreseeable that if Ma Defu is still working in the Poverty Alleviation Office, he will definitely be as busy as now, or even busier in the next few years.
Therefore, after the child is born, Ma Defu will most likely not have time to take care of the child.
On the other hand, Shuihua doesn't necessarily have much free time. After all, he has a lot of things to do at home. He can't just be so busy with the fields. On the one hand, he has to do farm work and on the other hand, he has to take care of the children. Just rely on Shuihua. It's definitely too busy for one person.
Shui Hua looks weak but is very assertive in her heart. Although Li Jie once asked her family to help take care of the fields, she firmly rejected the proposal.
She is not the kind of young lady who keeps her fingers crossed. When it comes to farming, she is also a good hand. She used to farm most of the land at home.
Of course, Shui Hua did not object to the idea of letting the elderly take care of their children, because in rural areas, it is a very common phenomenon for young people to work in agriculture or go out to work while the elderly take care of their children at home.
After listening to what his father said, Ma Defu was truly speechless.
Taking care of children is really a big problem. You can’t let your elderly father farm the land for their family, right?
In addition, he couldn't say "the land is no longer cultivated". After all, he had just started working and the monthly salary was just enough for her and Shui Hua to live.
If you add another child, it will be a bit overwhelming.
As for letting Debao help take care of the fields, his opinion is consistent with Shuihua.
This is definitely not possible!
Debao also has his own things to be busy with. He has to farm and raise sheep. Recently, he has taken his peers in the village to go out to do odd jobs.
With so many things put together, Debao was busy all day without being seen, and he had no time to help his family take care of the farmland.
Although Ma Defu believed that as long as he asked, his brother would agree no matter how busy he was, he would not do that and could not do that.
As an older brother, he knew why Debao was so busy.
Debao thought very simply. He just wanted to make more money and let Mai Miao live a good life after marriage.
"Okay, don't think about it so much. You've never eaten pork, and you haven't seen a pig running. You can learn how to do what you usually do. And if you encounter problems at work, you can come here to ask for help. "
"I believe it's not that difficult to be the village party secretary."
Seeing his father's confident and high-spirited look, the tension in Ma Defu's heart suddenly relaxed a lot. Although he was still a little worried, he did feel much more at ease than before.
Li Jie glanced at the moonlight outside, waved his hand and said.
"It's so late, go back quickly, don't let Shui Hua worry."
"Well, dad, let's go back then."
"Let's go back."
After returning home, Ma Defu walked quietly to the bedroom window and took advantage of the bright moonlight to take a look at the situation inside the house. Seeing that Shui Hua and his mother had fallen asleep, he tiptoed into the guest room next to him.
As Shui Hua's belly got bigger and bigger, it became inconvenient to do many things, and Ma Defu was busy at work and had no time to take care of her family. So Defu's mother moved into her eldest son's home and took the initiative to take on the 'important task' of taking care of her daughter-in-law. .
Therefore, Ma Defu has been staying in the guest room during this period.
The next day, before dawn, smoke rose from the kitchen of Defu's house.
The elderly sleep very lightly. When Defu's mother heard the noise coming from outside, she woke up immediately. She turned her head and looked out the window. Although she couldn't see anything, Defu's mother knew that she was busy in the kitchen at this time. The one making breakfast must be the eldest son.
"Defu, um, I don't mean you don't have to make breakfast. Why don't you kid always refuse to listen?"
Defu's mother has lost count of how many times she has said these words. Every time, Ma Defu agreed with a smile, but immediately regretted it the next day and still went her own way.
"Mom, uh, I got it."
Sure enough, Ma Defu happily replied with the same words again.
The reason why he insists on making breakfast every day is because it is one of the few places where he can help.
"you……"
Defu's mother glanced at her son complainingly, walked to the kitchen in a few steps, and snatched the spatula from her son's hand.
"Okay, let's do the rest. Shuihua will probably wake up soon, so hurry up and take care of her."
Ma Defu didn't insist when he heard this, filled a basin of hot water and walked to the bedroom.
Entering the room, Ma Defu unconsciously stepped lightly because Shui Hua had been particularly lethargic since becoming pregnant. Although the situation has improved now, she still sleeps a little more than when she was not pregnant.
Gently walking to the kang, looking at the water splash that was still in dreamland, Ma Defu's eyes revealed one part tenderness, three parts happiness, two parts pain and one part guilt. (PS: The math is taught by the physical education teacher)
When Shui Hua needed him most, he had no time to accompany his wife. He was really unqualified as a husband.
Suddenly, he saw the splash of eyelashes moving slightly. Ma Defu knew that this was a sign that his wife was about to wake up, so he quickly adjusted his emotions and showed a gentle smile.
Immediately, Shui Hua slowly opened her eyes, just in time to see the smile on her husband's face.
"Are you awake? Let me help you get up."
