"... At the beginning, you didn't know how much your brother could cry. He would wake up every one or two hours at night, and you would have to coax him for more than an hour every time he woke up. After he woke up two or three times, he would wake up once. The night passed, but I couldn't sleep all night...and during the day, I couldn't leave him at all. As soon as I left him, he would burst into tears. I could only carry him on my back to do housework, and I was half exhausted every day. ..." Mrs. Tang called Tang Shichu to complain while holding her son who had finally been coaxed.
Tang Shichu listened to her complaining for a long time, and then comforted her and said, "Mom, my brother is only like this when he is still young. It will be fine when he is older."
"He is still so young. How long will it take for him to grow up? I can hardly hold on anymore. At the beginning, my mother regretted giving birth to him." Mrs. Tang said with a bit of pain and regret in her tone.
Tang Shichu quickly comforted her: "Mom, don't worry. Children grow up very fast. His brother is so cute, and you and your father wanted to have him. If he hears you saying that you regret giving birth to him, then he will How sad it must be, you just have to endure it, you love him so much, you will definitely be able to endure these difficulties for him."
Tang Shichu encouraged her without hesitation: "Mom, now is the time for my brother to establish a close parent-child relationship with his parents. You must not think that you are impatient with him because it is difficult to take care of him. He can feel it. You love children so much and you are a loving mother. I believe you can overcome many difficulties and take good care of your brother!"
Tang Shichu's words blocked Mrs. Tang's subsequent complaints. She wanted to continue complaining to her daughter about her son's misbehavior, and to blame her husband for refusing to take care of the children when he returned home, but Tang Shichu was so angry. He praised her so highly with words, how could she still have the nerve to say it? He had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and said to Tang Shichu with a forced smile: "Mom will work hard to take care of your brother..."
"I knew that since my mother chose to give birth to a younger brother at an advanced age, she must have considered these situations a long time ago. She will definitely be able to handle these things, which makes me feel more at ease." Tang Shichu's words seemed like a slap in the face. The look on Tom's face made Tom wonder if her daughter was ridiculing her.
But Tang Shichu said it so sincerely, so he definitely didn't mean it! Tom herself denied the idea, and then talked to Tang Shichu for a while, caring about her school life, and then ended the call.
Tang Shichu looked at the hung up phone with a sarcastic smile on his face. Of course she could have said it so nicely. After all, she was not the one who worked hard to take care of the children at home. Why should she echo Tang Mu's complaints?
Maybe after she finishes complaining and her mood subsides, she will wonder whether her daughter is jealous of her newborn brother, which is why she has so many complaints against him? At that time, she would not remember that she started complaining first.
Maybe when she looks back on these things in the future, they will still be painful yet joyful memories of taking care of her son.
Tang Shichu did not go home during the summer vacation. The excuse she gave to her family was that she wanted to work as a tutor during the summer vacation to earn tuition and living expenses. Tang's mother originally expected that she could help take care of Brother Tang after she came back from the vacation, so that she could relax. Months, but after hearing her reason, I immediately had nothing to say, because this semester, as parents, they really didn’t give their daughter a penny. Her daughter had to work-study in school, so how could she pay for it? Have the nerve to ask her daughter to come back to help her take care of her son?
"So that's it? Daughter, you've worked hard, but it's all because of your parents. They can't make money for you to go to school. Don't blame us." Mrs. Tang said to Tang Shichu sarcastically.
Tang Shichu said very sensibly: "Of course I won't blame you and dad. You have raised me and fulfilled your responsibilities as parents. Moreover, there is a younger brother at home. He is so young, so you can take good care of him." is the most important."
"Good daughter, you are still sensible. It's just that if you don't come back from vacation, you won't be able to see your brother. He must miss you too." Mrs. Tom tried hard to find a topic.
However, this topic is very unreliable at first glance. When Tang Shichu left home during the Chinese New Year, little brother Tang was only two months old. It was impossible for him to have any impression of her as a sister. It was strange that he would miss her sister. Maybe even her sister was Don't know anything.
However, Tang Shichu didn't say much, but said with a smile: "If my brother misses me, you can video chat with me. I'm still free in the evening."
"Okay, then I will find time to make a video call between you two siblings in the evening so that you two can develop a relationship. Otherwise, when you go home during the Chinese New Year, he won't even recognize you..." Mrs. Tang said quickly.
"Yeah, by the way, mom, you and dad should take care of your health. Don't be too tired. Even if it's for your brother, you have to stay healthy." Tang Shichu told his parents to take care of their health very sensibly. Tang Mu I am very touched and feel that my daughter has become much more sensible after having a younger brother.
If Tang Shichu had known that she would think so, he would definitely have laughed at her. Why would an only child who had been arbitrary since childhood suddenly become sensible? Because of the sudden changes in her life, she had to be sensible. Once she dared not be sensible, she would be blamed and abandoned by everyone.
After dealing with Tang Mu, Tang Shichu no longer paid attention to the trivial matters at home. She said that staying to make money was not an excuse not to go home. She found a summer internship as a translator in a foreign company, so naturally she couldn't go back. .
However, she would occasionally listen to Tom's and Tom's father's complaints, comfort them, and persuade them to be patient. After all, her younger brother was the most important, and for her younger brother, no matter how hard it was, it was worth it...
Tang Shichu kept making chicken soup for them and encouraged them to be good elderly parents, but as time passed, she still felt that they were becoming more and more irritable and painful, all because they had to Taking care of a young child, you have to work overtime to earn money. You are mentally exhausted and physically exhausted, but you have to deal with an extremely energetic child every day. It would be strange if they don't collapse.
But it doesn't matter. Every time he waits for the winter vacation, Tang Shichu will still go back to help them relax and give them a few pills to keep their bodies healthy and not get sick from the children's troubles. But he will go back to school on the first day of the new year. , they will have to continue to endure those tortures.
Tang's father did not die from cerebral hemorrhage in this life. Naturally, Tang's mother would not leave Tang's younger brother to remarry. The couple had to drag their increasingly old bodies to take care of their increasingly energetic son. Over the past few years, even if their health No problem, but mentally exhausted, they had long regretted having another child.
After Tang Shichu graduated, they asked her to return to her hometown to work and take care of her younger brother "by the way", but Tang Shichu refused without hesitation, and Tang's father and mother had nothing to do with her.
There was no way to leave their son to their daughter, so they had no choice but to continue to live a painful life with their son. Although they should be at the age of retirement, they had to fight hard for their son. Life was really miserable.
Of course, Tang Shichu was not really a white-eyed wolf. She came back to visit her parents once a year and paid alimony to them every month. She fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter and no one could fault her.
It's just that they want to get undue benefits for their son from Tang Shichu and let her be the devil to support his younger brother, but that is impossible. After all, Tang Xiaodi is just her brother, not her son, and she has nothing to do with him. obligation.
Supported by Tang Shichu's magic medicine, Tang's father and Tang's mother lived until they were seventy or eighty years old. They raised little Tang and saw him get married and have children. However, their quality of life was not good at all. In the last few years of their lives, I have been worrying about my son for ten years, because Xiaodi Tang is just an ordinary person. He went to an ordinary university and had to worry about finding a job after graduation. After working, he couldn't buy a house in the city. In the end, he had to go back to his hometown and go on a blind date in the county next door. The girl continues to live an ordinary life.
This has always made Tang's father and mother very unwilling, because their daughter, Tang Shichu, was very popular outside and lived a much better life than Tang's younger brother, but she has been unwilling to help her younger brother. How could Tang's father and mother not complain? ?
But Tang Shichu didn't care at all.
