When I was at work, my mother-in-law called and said that there were guests at home and asked if I could go home for lunch.
I was busy at hand, and I really couldn't leave, but I couldn't eat lunch without accompanying the guests, otherwise it would be too rude.
So I told my mother-in-law to go to the restaurant and order good food, and I rushed over after work.
As a result, the phone just hung up, and the mother-in-law called again and said: "The guest said, just make some food at home, if you are busy, you don't have to come back." ”
How can this work? That's a shame!
However, as soon as my mother-in-law reported the identity of the guest, I was calm.
The guest is the mother, and since it is the mother, there is no need to pay attention to red tape, whatever.
Therefore, the lunch that day was eaten by the mother-in-law and the mother, two dishes and one soup, extremely simple.
I, on the other hand, dined with my colleagues.
When I came home from work in the evening, my mother was gone.
In the living room there was a whole bunch of things she had brought, food and clothing, everything.
I looked at those things and thought about the simple meal my mother had eaten at my house, and my heart suddenly became sad.

Talking about this matter with friends, I didn't expect it, and suddenly evoked the memories of my friends.
Friends said that she was a person who did not like to do housework, and usually at home, she did not even bother to take the teacup.
However, once the guests came to the house, she was reborn and changed into a different person.
She will make a cup of tea for the guests, even if others say not to drink, she must insist on brewing.
Those fruit snacks, she also encourages guests to throw them casually, without paying attention.
She felt that when people came to her home as a guest, they had to make people feel comfortable, otherwise, who would come back next time.
Therefore, every time the guests left, she had to be busy for half a day, washing teacups, cleaning the coffee table, and mopping the floor.
Although she didn't like to do these things, she put up with it for the sake of the pleasure of the guests.
That time, her mother came to see her.
As soon as she entered the door, she asked her mother to change her slippers.
Bring out the fruit for your mother, but you are afraid of staining the living room, so you keep shouting: "Mom, be careful, don't get the juice on the floor." ”
When eating, I also kept saying, "Don't spill rice grains on the ground, don't spill soup on the table." ”
In short, her demands were endless, leaving her mother a little confused.
In order to keep the ground clean and not let her daughter clean, she simply left early.
After her mother left, she looked at the spotless home and suddenly began to blame herself.

There is also a friend who is a warm-hearted person.
As long as there are guests coming, even if it is only a general friendship, she will put down the work at hand and accompany her wholeheartedly.
Eat local snacks and visit all the places of interest, afraid that guests will not be able to enjoy themselves.
Such enthusiasm naturally makes her super popular, and more and more people are looking for her as a guide, and she never refuses.
People have traveled thousands of miles to come to you, how can you make people lose their families?
That time, her mother came to see her from her hometown, and unfortunately, she was struggling with her work for a few days.
My mother kept saying, "Don't take time off, work matters, I'm so old, I don't want to go out, you just go home and talk to me every night." ”
For a whole week, she did not accompany her mother to the streets once, nor did she accompany her to see the beautiful scenery of the city.
She thought her mother really didn't need it until she got home and she called back.
The younger brother asked: "Did you accompany your mother out for a walk, and my mother said that this time I should go out and take a good look at the scenery!" ”
She suddenly felt sad, and tears fell on the telephone line in large pieces.

Every mother's favorite place to go is probably her daughter's house.
Because there, there is her warmest concern.
As housewives, the daughters always make every effort to make the guests happy, make the guests feel comfortable, and feel valued.
However, when my mother came to visit, we never thought of making her happy, making her feel comfortable and valued.
In her daughter's home, the mother was more honest than any guest, but she never enjoyed the treatment of a guest.
Thinking of this, my tears couldn't stop falling big.
