Chapter 222 Parenting Methods
“Mom, I saw a lot of clothes over there on the patio. They need to be washed.”
After Azu and Diana came back from the United States, Dai Anna turned around and threw herself into her work, leaving all the care of the children to Azu. But Azu himself is no different from a child, how can he take good care of the child? So he relied on his mother for everything.
"Do you think grandma is a machine? She has three heads and six arms?" Mom hugged Azu and smiled bitterly. She was really tired these days. Apart from taking care of the children when people come to visit, Azu lets her do everything else. Several daughters-in-law have their own children to take care of, and no one can help her share the burden.
"Mom, why did you call me your son?" Azu said coquettishly.
"Then Paul is your son too. Why don't you wash those piles of diapers?" Mom pointed to the direction of the patio and asked Azu. Paul was named Paul Kang by Diana. Azu was too embarrassed to wait any longer, so he spread his hands and said, "He is my son, and I am your son. Old Dou is giving birth to a baby, and I will wash it."
Azu washes himself right away. For two hours, Paul had been crying outside for half an hour. Xiu Gu, who was cooking in the kitchen, couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Four Young Masters, do you want to wash these clothes for so long? Oh, leave these clothes to me. You are crying outside, go quickly Help Aunt Kang!”
Aunt Xiu is the live-in nanny of the Kang family, not a confinement nanny. She couldn't help with the child's matter, but she felt sorry for Aunt Kang and the child, so she could only ask Azu to go out and help quickly. She usually doesn't have to wash clothes by hand, she just washes them directly in the washing machine.
Azu would be very happy if someone helped him. He clapped his hands and left. When he came to the living room, he didn't take the baby from his mother's arms, but said: "Mom, it's almost 12 o'clock. Yesterday Diana called me and said that if the weather is good today, Just give Paul a bath, and then go out in the sun to absorb some calcium. Take advantage of the good weather at noon and take BB in for a bath."
The mother said with a speechless expression while holding the baby. : "I can feel the wind blowing in the living room and you still say the weather is good today? It's winter now. Do you want to catch a cold?"
"I don't know either. Diana said that she adopted the American parenting method. She said that you should give your baby a bath no matter the weather." Azu shrugged, and he bluntly said that he was just following his wife's orders.
It happened that Kang Qirui returned to Kang's house from get off work at noon. He had no classes in the afternoon and came back first since it was cold in the winter. When Azu saw him, he sighed: "Arui, why haven't you and your third sister-in-law's confinement center been completed yet? If you had completed it, I would have taken Paul to live in it, and it would have been empty all day long."
Kang Qirui glanced at him and said speechlessly: "You said it was a confinement center. How do you agree with it? Besides, what does it look like for you, a man, to live there?"
The new career and new challenge Sachiko has found for herself - the confinement center is currently in the final stage of renovation and is scheduled to officially open in March next year. At Kang Qirui's suggestion, she chose to rent a three-story shop on Tianhe South 2nd Road in Zhujiang New Town. The location is mediocre now, but in two or three years it will be an absolute prime location.
The total investment amount reached 5 million, most of which were funded by Kang Qirui. The main focus is to be tall. Sachiko, on the other hand, took 40% of the equity with a small amount of investment + full management. Of course, this was not given to her all at once, but in stages. They signed a very complete gambling agreement, and Sachiko needs to make corresponding achievements to get the complete 40%.
"Besides, you are not using the American parenting method. What we are training now is the Chinese parenting method, which does not suit you." Kang Qirui sat down on the sofa, teasing Paul in his mother's arms, and chatting with Azu. quipped. "No, no, no." Before Azu could say anything, Mom said first: "How beautiful is the American style? This is Guangfu. The soil and water are different, and the methods are different. Besides, half of us are Chinese. It's so cold today. It’s windy, why should I take a bath?”
Azu didn’t really want to give BB a bath, he just conveyed what Diana said. Hearing that his mother refused to wash him, he didn't care, "If you don't wash it, don't wash it. Mom, I don't understand either. You have your own parenting methods, and Diana has her own parenting methods. I really don't know what to do." Who do you want to listen to? But now that Diana is not here, I can only listen to you hahaha."
After a pause, he continued: "Diana went from head to toe the day after giving birth. There is no need for confinement after washing it all. It is different here. After giving birth, we close the doors and windows tightly, cover ourselves up and stink, and only come out a month later. It is simply unreasonable. "
"Diana has never been in confinement?" The mother was shocked after hearing this, and sighed: "Be careful of back pain in the future."
And Kang Qirui said: "If everyone followed your wife's example, what kind of confinement center would we open? And let me tell you, who told you that confinement stinks? You can also take a shower during confinement. , the doctor suggested that it is not suitable to take a bath within a week.”
Azu just said it casually, without any intention of discussing it with everyone. He looked at the weather outside and found that the sun was indeed quite strong, so he said: "Mom, I think the sun is very strong now. How about we make a compromise? BB won't take a bath, but I will take him out to bask in the sun." "What do you think?"
Mom thought for a while and felt that although it was windy at noon, the sun was really strong and the temperature was okay, so she nodded and agreed. Azu got his mother's consent, and everyone became happy. It not only satisfies my wife's American parenting style, but also gets the approval of my mother's Chinese parenting style. Both sides can work together without offending each other.
Azu took Paul to the Jiekou Garden, found a secluded lawn, made a bed, put pillows, and put the child on it to lie down, "BB, daddy brought you here to bask in the sun, let's go Aren't you happy?" He teased Paul for a while and then let him lie down and watch the sky.
He took out a Gameboy game console from his trouser pocket and started playing it. People passing by were pointing at him when they saw this scene, but he didn't care at all and just played by himself. Occasionally, I tease Paul Tsai. Paul Tsai is really easy to take care of. That's it, he's still happy.
"Baby, I still don't believe it when someone comes to my house and tells me, but it turns out you are really just playing by yourself and don't care about him." Mom walked over quickly. Just now, a familiar neighbor went to report to the house. She came over doubtfully to find out.
"The weather is so cold now, why do you just put him on top like this? You don't even cover him with a quilt, he will catch cold easily." The mother picked up the child and scolded him.
"Mom, don't worry, why are you catching a cold? The sun is so good now, it's warm." Azu said nonchalantly, still playing the game console in his hand.
