Yue Yue said that since we grew up, we rarely went out with our parents and even rarely went to the park, let alone proposed to travel. She said the most I want to do now is take my mom and dad on a trip.
Yue Yue is 38 years old this year, when I met her, she was 30 years old, she had just given birth to the baby, the baby was still breastfeeding, so she was still at home with the baby. When the child was 6 months old, she returned to work, the baby was brought by the mother-in-law, the father-in-law and his parents had not retired at that time, they could only come to Saturdays and Sundays to help take care of the children, usually the mother-in-law was brought alone during the day, and at night they were brought by themselves and their husbands.

My mother-in-law and I had children, we lived together, but there was no contradiction between us at all, my mother-in-law was a very smart woman. Every time I have a problem with my child, she always asks me first if this is okay, is that okay? As if afraid of making a mistake. I told my mother-in-law not to be so careful. Mother-in-law said, I ask more to learn a little more, now many young people are not accustomed to our old people's way of doing things and habits, everyone is for the good of the child, so that we can also avoid the contradiction between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I have to say that the mother-in-law is indeed a smart person.
I was relieved to have the child taken with the help of my mother-in-law. When the child was three years old, my husband and I decided to take my in-laws and my parents on a trip with me. I told my in-laws and my mom and dad about this idea. The mother-in-law was the first to object, she said, you take your parents to travel, I am at home to watch the children, you will be at ease to play. The father-in-law also said, yes, you can rest assured to play, the child is still young, it is not very convenient to go out, wait a few years older, our family will go out again.
I wanted to go with my in-laws, my mother-in-law and I had children for a few years, and it was very hard, and I wanted to take them out to play. My parents listened to my in-laws say they wouldn't go, and they refused to go, and my mother said she would go together, and we didn't go if our relatives didn't go. It was pushed back and forth like this, and in the end it still didn't work out.
This time the child is 8 years old, my parents are also retired at home, and I want to go out with my family again. My husband is very supportive of me, saying that he will go there wherever he wants, the child is so old now, he can't go with me, the project in his hand has not been completed, he can't go. I told my mother-in-law that we would hang out together. My mother-in-law refused to go with me, saying that it would be fun for me to take my parents out, and it would not be easy for my parents to give birth to me and raise me. I said let's go together, and you've helped me with my kids over the years, and I haven't even been out of the far door. Mother-in-law said, I like to be at home, do not like to go far, children do not take it, you take the family and the three of you to play happily, at home you are at ease, but also let my husband book me a ticket and a hotel.
In this way, I took my parents and went to Dali, Yunnan Province, where my mother had her heart in mind. Mom and Dad were happy. Say, how many years has our family not come out to play together? Yes, I remember that I didn't go out since I went to school, and every time I walked around the neighborhood at most, we had to have fun this time.
We went to Kunming, to Stone Forest to Dali, to Luoquan Peninsula, Dali Ancient City, and in the evening we went to the Wanyou Market, where there were really fireworks and crowds of people, bustling, all kinds of food wafted out of the tempting aroma, smelling I was about to drool, Dad suggested that we go to dinner first. Dad asked me and Mom what I wanted to eat? I said: Yellow braised chicken; Mom said to eat beef. I said: I heard that the yellow stewed chicken here is called "a chicken in western Yunnan" is a very famous dish in Dali. My mom and I had a fight over whether to eat chicken or beef, I wanted to eat chicken, and my mom wanted to eat beef. My mother wanted beef because I liked beef when I was very young, and my mother thought I still liked it. In fact, I know that my mother also likes to eat chicken, when I was young, my mother always said that she did not like to eat meat, but in fact, let me and my father eat it.
Dad said, chicken and beef are called, Yue'er, your mother is because you like to eat beef she ordered, you want to eat chicken is also because your mother likes to eat is not it? I said: Hmm. I saw that my mother's eyes were red, and I walked over and hugged my mother. I said, I'm growing up and don't like beef anymore, but my mother remembers what I liked when I was a kid. My mother said, Yue'er has grown up, my mother does not understand our family Yue'er more and more, how do you know that I like to eat chicken? In fact, when I was a child, I knew that my mother was lying, saying that she didn't like meat, just wanting me and my father to eat more meat. My parents and I's eyes were red, and there was no happier family together at this moment.
Next, we went to Huan'erHai, went to Lijiang Lashihai National Wetland Park, and went to see the Lishui Jinsha performance. My mother has been saying that Yunnan is really worthy of the name, too like Yunnan, too beautiful and too happy, it is also a pity that the in-laws did not come together, and said that let me and my husband must bring the in-laws to play once. Mom was happy like a child, and I felt that it was really right for Mom and Dad to come out this time.
Later, we went to Lijiang Ancient City, Shuhe Ancient Town, Jiuding Longtan, Yulong Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley, Baishui River, Lugu Lake, Lige Observation Deck, etc., and the whole process was very relaxed and very happy.
It is often the case that once people grow up and participate in the work, they ignore the people closest to them. Especially after getting married, having children and having their own small family, they are very able to take care of the people around them.
May all parents have a happy and happy old age! I also wish yue yue's family to be so happy all along!
