Chapter 152 Queen Mother's New Career
Chapter 152 Queen Mother's New Career
Wei's father and mother happily moved into their new house, and they also reminded their children: "When you have free time, bring the child to us!"
Generations are closely connected, generational closeness is evident in the Wei family.
Whether it is the two eldest grandsons or the four grandsons and granddaughters, they are the apple of the old couple's eyes.
"Sure, don't worry, Mom." Yang Liu said with a smile, "I'll send the kids over on Saturday or Sunday. Don't be bothered by them then!"
Da Hu and Er Hu are at the age where even dogs can get annoyed. Although the two children are not fierce, they are very energetic.
Sending the two children to my parents-in-law's home not only fulfills the elderly's wish, but also gives the couple two days of quiet time alone. Why not do it?
Wei Shuqing also smiled: "Don't worry, Mom, we will bring the children to see you too!"
She is a biological daughter and loves her parents more.
I have four children at home, and there is no way I can stay overnight at my grandparents' house, otherwise I will tire them out!
After Wei's father and mother moved out, the house seemed a lot emptier.
The Queen Mother sat alone on the sofa watching TV, with no one to discuss the plot with her.
Loneliness made her a little depressed.
"After our parents moved away, our mom's spirits and spirits have been down."
Wang Chenan, as a son, saw it all and felt anxious.
The Queen Mother has been strong all her life.
When I was young, I was busy with work and taking care of the elderly and children at home and outside. I was always busy like a top.
She always feels uncomfortable when she has some free time.
Originally, there were two people of the same age, Wei's father and mother, chatting together, talking about gossip, and passing the time.
Now that Wei's father and mother are gone, she has free time.
To put it bluntly, Wang Mu doesn't have to worry about the store or the house, and she is almost sick from being idle.
Wei Shuqing, the daughter-in-law, had no way of asking her mother-in-law to help her take care of the children and run the business.
The Queen Mother has been cooking all her life and is tired of the smell of cooking fumes.
Now, unless there is an important occasion, she doesn't like to go into the kitchen.
Moreover, Wang's mother did not like taking care of children. She suffered a lot when she raised Wang Chenan and Wang Chenchen alone.
In order to satisfy her mother-in-law's spiritual realm, Wei Shuqing thought about it again and again, and finally discussed with Wang Chenan and decided to let Wang's mother join the community's "matchmaker group".
She had already found out that the origin of this "Red Lady Group" was that it was a group of old ladies who had participated in the revolution. After retirement, they could not stay idle at home, so they organized a public welfare organization.
My daily work is to help mediate family disputes, safeguard the rights of women and children, and make some handicrafts and sell them for charity, donating the money to the orphanage.
"Mom, what this 'matchmaker group' does is really great and can help others!"
Wei Shuqing donated one hundred yuan to the "Red Lady Group". She is an ordinary citizen, in other words, a petty citizen. She is not noble enough and cannot sacrifice herself for others.
But it is still possible to give some warmth to those in need to the best of our ability.
The Queen Mother was also such a person. When she heard that she could help those women, she thought of how she had raised two children alone.
With a husband who died young, a biased mother-in-law, and a confused sister-in-law, the Queen Mother has gone through many hardships to get to where she is today.
She had been caught in the rain before, so she wanted to hold an umbrella for others: "Okay, then I'll go sign up tomorrow!"
Holding Wei Shuqing's hand, the Queen Mother sighed with satisfaction and joy: "I never thought that even after retirement, I can still create value and help others!"
"This is much better than burning incense and praying to Buddha!"
Wang Chenchen smiled with her eyes curved. Fang's mother was a devout Buddhist. She asked the gods and Buddhas about everything and offered sacrifices to them three times a day.
In Wang Chenchen's opinion, this is simply a waste of time.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The Queen Mother looked at Fang Jing's face and quickly scolded her daughter, "Your mother-in-law burned incense and prayed to Buddha to pray for your safety!"
Her daughter always speaks without restraint.
Wang Chenchen rolled her eyes and said nothing, while Fang Jing smiled gently.
He manages to juggle easily between his wife and mother, and the relationship at home is relatively harmonious.
On the second day after the Queen Mother joined the "Red Lady Group", she became visibly more energetic.
She hummed a little tune while making a tablecloth, chatting with Wei Shuqing: "Don't say it, Shuqing, you really found a good place. The people in our group are all warm-hearted and have a sense of justice. They are just like Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan!"
Wei Shuqing was also relieved to see the Queen Mother happy.
The word "filial piety" means to be well taken care of in old age, both physically and mentally.
"Mom is now the second Mu Guiying!" Wei Shuqing handed the Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan in her arms to Yang Liu, rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. "Then how about we have some mixed fish pancakes for dinner?"
"Anything is fine!"
The Queen Mother was so immersed in her career that she didn't even bother to raise her head.
She has been a cook all her life and has never lacked a taste for food. She has tasted all kinds of delicious food.
However, this was the first time she found a career she truly loved.
Not long after Wei's parents moved out, Aunt Liu also packed up her things and came to say goodbye to Wei Shuqing and her family. "We've saved a little money over the past two years from supplying food to the restaurant and my salary. We plan to rent a stall in the city for my son to sell vegetables!"
She has been preparing banquets all her life, dealing with all kinds of people, and has some vision.
Seeing that Wei Shuqing lent money to Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang to rent a stall to sell vegetables, Aunt Liu keenly discovered the business opportunity.
She persuaded her husband to use his life savings to rent a stall for his son and also rent a small house.
Since her son has moved to the city, Aunt Liu, as a mother, has to go over and help him.
"Boss, we all remember how kind you've been to us. But Dalong will still be the head of our family in the future, and we hope he can have his own things to do. I want to go over and help him!"
Aunt Liu spoke sincerely.
Wei Shuqing is a good boss, but no matter how good a boss is, working for someone else is not as good as being your own boss.
"We all understand."
Wei Shuqing smiled and thought that Aunt Liu's choice was correct.
"Let's part ways amicably. Take this month's salary. I hope Dalong's career flourishes."
After Aunt Liu left, Yang Liu and Wei Shuqing took turns to be the chef in the backyard.
The business in the store is still booming, and the two of them are inevitably very busy.
"We need to find another cook!"
Yang Liu fanned herself with her chef's hat, her face flushed red with heat.
Wei Shuqing also held her waist and drank several sips of water: "Okay, put up an advertisement tomorrow and find someone to test the kitchen."
Wang Chenchen, who had brought Youyou to play, looked at his mother, then looked around the store: "Why are we looking for a chef? Isn't my mom a ready-made chef?"
