Chapter 2681 I Finally Understand the Pain and Tiredness of Women
Lu Mo and his friends won’t be back at night because the three kids haven’t had enough fun. They played all kinds of amusement facilities during the day, and they were all very exciting, such as roller coasters and Ferris wheels. They were still not tired at night and kept clamoring to watch performances. Since we came out to play with the kids, we naturally wanted to let them have fun.
The two fathers called to report. Unlike the energetic children, Xiaohu's father was so tired that he couldn't even hold the phone. He complained to his wife, "This is the first time I know that our Xiaohu is so brave. I felt dizzy watching the Ferris wheel from below. Xiaohu was sitting on it and making gestures to take pictures. Fortunately, Mr. Lu came with me. With him leading me, I didn't even dare to get on it...
My mother is so tired. My waist is broken after running all day. How can these children not be tired? There are performances in the evening. They said there will be Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. What's so good about these..."
Xiaohu's father complained while holding the phone. He always thought it was easy to take care of children. It was just coaxing children. His mother gave birth to six children, each of whom was only one or two years older. All of them were raised by his mother. The six brothers and sisters are in good health and are living a prosperous life now.
In the past, when Xiaohu's mother complained to him about being tired, he thought his wife was being hypocritical. His mother had to raise six brothers and sisters, raise chickens and ducks, grow vegetables, and wash clothes. In the past, there were no washing machines, so they had to go to the river to wash clothes by hand. She also had to sew and mend clothes for the whole family. In his impression, his mother never rested from morning to night, and she always had work in her hands.
When he woke up, his mother had already prepared breakfast, fed the chickens and ducks, and swept the yard clean. When he finally had some free time, he would visit and chat with her family. She would hold a sewing basket in her hands, and sew the soles of shoes while chatting. The shoes of the whole family were all made by his mother stitch by stitch.
When his brothers and sisters went to bed, his mother was still mending clothes under the dim oil lamp, squinting her eyes and sewing very seriously. His mother was always the first one to get up and the last one to go to bed in the family, and he had never seen her rest.
His father was the same, always busy. In order to let his brothers and sisters study and have enough food, he was either working in the fields, picking herbs in the mountains, or working for other people. His father was a bricklayer with good skills. People nearby would call him dad when they built houses, but bricklayers were hard work, and his father saved the good ones for his brothers and sisters. They were not nutritious enough and looked much older than their peers.
After waiting for them to grow up and become successful, he wanted to let his parents enjoy their lives, but his parents' health also collapsed. Although they didn't have any major problems, they never got better. The doctor said that they were too tired when they were young and hurt their vitality. They had to take care of themselves slowly.
After he had money, he found many old Chinese doctors for his parents. He spent a lot of money and took a lot of medicine, but his parents didn't get better. His mother used to cook meals for the whole family, but now she can't even make hand-rolled noodles. His parents always said that they were useless and asked them not to spend money recklessly and live one day at a time.
But how can children ignore their parents? The six brothers and sisters have always worked together to be filial to their parents. Everyone is willing to contribute money and effort. If he has more money, he will contribute more. His wife has no objection and always takes the initiative to buy delicious food for his parents. Therefore, he rarely cares about his wife spending money on her parents' home. He puts his heart in theirs.
Xiaohu's father suddenly thought of his childhood, and his eyes were a little sore. He was exhausted after only taking care of his son for one day. How tired his mother must have been to take care of six children before. No wonder her body was exhausted.
And his wife had to take care of the children at that time, and she also had to start a business with him. She went through wind and rain, and she never complained about the hardship. He sometimes said that his wife was hypocritical. Alas, it was too wrong.
Xiaohu's mother listened to her husband's complaints and was very happy. Xiaohu's father suddenly said, "Yueyun, you have worked hard all these years."
