365 days a year, the daughter who goes out returns to her mother's house, it is difficult to say, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult and easy. Reasons or excuses, there is always a reason to look for, or there is always no. However, returning to her mother's house on the second day of the New Year is a matter of course, who let the old ancestor arrange it thousands of years ago? I am usually busy like a top, of course, I am not exempt from vulgarity.
"When I go back to my grandmother's house to celebrate the New Year, I have to take a bath first!" The son took it seriously.
"Sensible! Returning to my grandmother's house in the New Year will be beautiful! "I can't help but praise.
"I have to take a shower too!" The husband was busy with the things he was doing, he said.
"What do you pay attention to?" Not a new relative! I couldn't help but pout.
"What then?" Walk relatives I can't be neat? "It really makes sense.
After all, returning to my mother's house for the New Year is not the usual.
"Son, carry this!" "Dayang, take that one!" Before leaving the house, I was afraid that I would forget something.
"Didn't you all pack up last night?" Still so panicked! "The son is puzzled.
"Don't worry, take your things and let's go!" My lover habitually comforted me.
Finally on the way home. The scenery along the way was extra intimate. Orchards, wheat fields, and newly built factories pass by one in front of your eyes, as if in the blink of an eye, summer has become winter.
Our family of three just arrived, my sister held her one-year-old granddaughter, my brother-in-law carried things in both hands, and their family of five also got out of the car.
My mother's home was suddenly bustling. Like when I was a child, when I set off firecrackers for the New Year, it was filled with the smell of the special and particularly happy New Year that could not be concealed. A big red flower blossomed on my mother's face, and she beckoned us one by one to sit in the house.
If it is said to be a house, it is also a house. About 20 square meters, the father and mother usually eat, sleep, watch TV base camp. The family is not without a house, and the two rooms that enter the door are façade rooms, because the epidemic is idle. One is a cloakroom and storage room for parents, and the other is full of sundries, refrigerators, bicycles, electric cars, etc.
My sister and I felt that the place was small every time I came back, and my mother said every time: "Not small, My father and father are more than seventy, enough to live, and save energy to clean!" "The second floor where my brother's family of three lives is a two-bedroom and one-living room suite, which is more spacious.
"Good Spring Festival!" Before he could sit still, his son and nephew bowed deeply to grandma and grandpa almost simultaneously.
"Good! Good! Good! The father quickly drew red envelopes from under the pillows and distributed them to the big children and small dolls one by one.
"Two thousand! Such a big red packet! The son exclaimed.
"The two of you have money!" My pension, aunt and aunt gave me every three or five, and the land money paid every year in the village is saved! Just wait for the New Year to send you red envelopes! "Fathers are like children who have been praised for their perfect scores, proud that the wrinkles on their faces are as beautiful as fireworks that burst out.
"Later, it will be your brothers' turn to send red envelopes to Grandma and Grandpa!" I'm telling the truth. The nephew is already working, and the son is in graduate school this year.
"That is, the two of you have enjoyed the blessings of your two daughters, and you have to enjoy the blessings of your two grandsons!" The mother smiled and groaned as she looked at the brothers next to each other, her eyes shining with joy.
"Xiaohong, you're also at home!" Seeing my sister-in-law, the excitement in my heart rose up. Usually, I go back to my mother's house less, and I can bump into my sister-in-law in the New Year, like bumping into a full heart with an unexpected joy.
"Our uncle and aunt 'flew' to the big city!" My brother bought a large house of more than 100 square meters in Zhengzhou, and the old couple went to the city for the New Year! ”
"Oh, really! Or your brother this big boss arrogant! "My sister and I confided in praise.
My brother-in-law was already preparing lunch. It's fried and steamed, it's boiled and fried, it's dish picking and washing, it's dishwashing and washing dishes... I have to say that my brother's meal is very delicious, and my son gives his uncle a full score every time. My sister-in-law is very good at the moment, and I can't pick out a single fault with my brother's tight cooperation, and I am more willing to give her a full score.
"This box (stuff) is mine!" My brother was busy sneaking around and didn't forget to look at the things we took home. Even if I have given gifts according to the old rules a few years ago, but on the second day of the New Year, when I return to my mother's house, no one will be empty-handed, and I am still too little - while my parents can still eat, of course, I must eat more.
"Move (upstairs)!" Mother said generously.
"I eat Sachima!" My niece's taste was similar to mine.
"Move (upstairs)!" Mother nodded generously.
"I eat beef!" I certainly understand that my niece's weight never comes out of thin air.
"Move (upstairs)!" Mother cheerfully agreed.
"No matter how many things there are, they are all for the family!" My sister smiled.
"Big New Year's Day, eat whatever you want!" I laughed.
"Isn't this the New Year?" The younger brother's face was flushed, like a prawn that had just been fished out of the oil pot, the sister-in-law was red and only smiled and did not speak, and the niece was holding a red envelope and chewing crispy candy.
My mother-in-law's family is both one and two. As soon as the younger brother got married, he separated from his parents. Many times they ignored each other, and sometimes they couldn't put a needle in it. Although the natural enemies of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still fell into the homes of ordinary people unsurprisingly, there were no exceptions in my imagination, but the water and electricity bills in the family, the red and white door affairs, were all expenses of parents, and they were never really "divided". The younger brother works to earn money, the sister-in-law does not earn money, the niece needs to spend money to go to school, and the days of their three children are most tight in the heart of the father and mother.
At the time of the separation, my mother asked my sister and me more than once to judge. "I built them buildings, made them wine, ate noodles (the children's 100-day feast), and their wings hardened, no matter me!" Married daughter-in-law forgot the mother! What kind of son and daughter-in-law! The mother was angry and angry, and tears flowed.
Before passing through the door, there was no in-laws' sister advised: "Xiaohong's meal cannot be separated from chili, and you can't dip a little spicy; Xiaohong loves to eat rice and vegetables, and you are used to fishing for noodles in soup all year round." Besides, the little two make a joke and make a mouth, get up early or late every day, Xiaohong spends money to buy this and buy that, do you see whether it is a tube or not? Days are as thick as leaves, nothing else, just eating can not eat together, a day or two can be done, a long time? Eating in a pot is a family? If you have been separated, you will be separated, and you will not worry! ”
After a year of marriage, I had a child and had been living with my in-laws with children, and I advised, "My teeth are still biting my tongue." They go to work and school, you two are at home, the track is not the same, it is not easy to get together, you have to get together, both awkward, not smooth. It is not bad to separate the family, it is still a family, no matter what way the family lives, will it achieve the goal if it is good. Separated, they are worried about their affairs, usually you two don't mix with the other two of them, when things happen, you two give an idea and take a direction. And a big son of Kazumi, how nice! ”
An uncle who happened to come to string relatives and a good friend of his father laughed and said, "It is not a shameful thing for us to separate our families in the countryside!" Young and old are not the same thing! At home, I still like to lead a few people out to do some mud work, your sister-in-law takes her granddaughter at home, and your son and daughter-in-law go to the city to work. Our family is busy with each other, without saying a word, it is all right, there is something to discuss, do not want to discuss is that they can solve it. Separated families, children over children, we have to live with us, all have to be energetic. They're married, so what's good about sticking to them? The old little idea is different, every day and pots and pans like jingle bumps and bumps, can you stand it? At this age, we should also be idle! ”
The mother listened to the advice and wanted to open, and the family was divided. After the separation of the family, the life of the father and mother was very moist. My father was reluctant to lose his cooking skills, and often went to a school canteen in the city as a cook, earning more and less. It was not easy for me to go back to my mother's house to see him, and occasionally I met him, and he was always radiant, his waist was as straight as a poplar tree, and his head was telling me what he had seen and heard in school, rare, understanding, proud, and lost. People in their fifties, like a swaying leaf in the sun, like a flying dust in the bright, leisurely wandering, enjoying themselves.
Her mother is keen on "business", and it just so happens that her mother's house is adjacent to Xu fan highway, which naturally fulfills her dream. An old-fashioned stroller pulled back from her sister's house, with drinks of mineral water and cigarettes, made up her business empire. The roads that you must pass through the city are often full of people, the students in the village come and go, and you can say that her stalls are still quite prosperous. Especially in the summer, her drink mineral water is very popular. "You don't know, I can earn twenty or thirty yuan a day!" When I went back, my mother was often untouched and panicked, and only whispered to me mysteriously and surprisingly in my ear.
My brother's little family is stable. The younger brother who "mixed" society after graduating from junior high school has the same skills as his father but surpasses his father, and works in various large and small restaurants all year round, seeing that the level is rising year by year, but the summer heat is sweaty, and the work clothes are like washing. As soon as he came out of the back kitchen door in the winter, he was frozen and shivering, riding a motorcycle for ten miles or so, hats and gloves on his knees, wrapped so that if he did not recognize the motorcycle number, he would not recognize his people.
My sister-in-law was tall and well-mannered, and she was known as "I have to watch the children at home", so she began to be a full-time housewife at home from the birth of my niece. It wasn't until last year that her niece was admitted to a college in Tianjin with a college entrance examination score of more than twenty points higher than usual, that she found a job in a supermarket.
Time is a pony, not hurried or slow to move forward. Time flies, and my father and mother have changed from being in their fifties to being in their seventies now. Under the persuasion of my sister and me, my father had to "live in seclusion" at home for many years, and my mother no longer set up her stall. The old couple played table tennis, watched big dramas, and chatted, and they were very busy every day with their own rhythm.
After more than thirty years of marriage, I still like to go back to my mother's house. There was my father and mother, my brothers and sisters-in-law and nieces. Being able to distinguish between clear and indistinguishable is the affection engraved in the heart.
