Eight of us boarded the train to our daughter's city, each with happy smiles on their faces, looking forward to the trip.
I looked at the tickets and made sure there was no problem with our seats. Then arrange your luggage one by one to make sure it doesn't roll or fall.
"Xiao Li, what kind of hotel do you say we are staying in along the way?" Uncle Zhang asked excitedly while looking for a place to sit.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I have already found a mid-to-high-end hotel for everyone, and I will definitely let you enjoy it to the fullest!" I said with a smile.
"Haha, we Xiao Li is righteous enough, this time to invite us to travel, must have cost a lot of money." Aunt Wang said with a smile.
I waved my hand a little embarrassed, indicating that it was all for everyone's fun. I knew in my heart that this outing meant a lot to me.
At this moment, my father-in-law came over, saw the credit card in my hand, and said disapprovingly: "You are a retired worker, can you get a credit card?" ”
My face instantly stiffened, and anger welled up in my heart. I forcibly did not have a seizure on the spot, but I was already thinking in my heart how to give him a dismount.
Several relatives and friends next to me saw my embarrassment and hurriedly pulled my father-in-law to greet me, trying to ease the atmosphere. I took a deep breath and told myself to be patient, and the opportunity would come.
The car started slowly and our journey officially began. I looked out the car window into the distance, thinking to myself about how I would fight my father-in-law along the way.
I smiled slightly, already having an idea in my mind. In the past few days, I will let him see what is called qi and wealth.
As soon as we arrived at our daughter's house, we were all happily ready to check into the hotel. I proposed to go to my room first to drop off my luggage and then go out to find food.
"Dad, you can share a room with your uncle." The daughter persuaded gently.
I nodded and moved into the same room as my father-in-law and several other old people.
As soon as I opened my suitcase, I deliberately hid my credit card under my pillow and said, "My credit card is missing!" ”
"Huh? How could it be lost! "Everyone got up in a hurry and helped me find a card.
I caught a glimpse of the corner of my eye, and there seemed to be a smug smile on the corner of my father-in-law's mouth. My heart moved, and it seemed that he really had a bad intention against me.
"In this way, if the card is lost, I can pay for the room myself, so don't worry too much." I said calmly.
The father-in-law's face immediately looked a little embarrassed and disappointed. I secretly rejoiced, only to find out that he was deliberately trying to find my stubble and see me embarrassed.
Since he wants to play, I will accompany him to the end! In the coming days, I will definitely let him see that my financial resources will not be lost to this old fox!
I have already thought of the next plan, as long as he intends to find my stubble, I will let him taste the taste of disappointment.
Dear father-in-law, wait and see! I will surely bring you to your knees to apologize to me and acknowledge my abilities. Don't forget to call me "Daddy" then!.
Over the next few days, I spent the next few days exploring the sights of my daughter's city, enjoying food and shopping.
On the third day, we came to a fine dining restaurant for dinner. The waiter served the exquisite dishes, and I offered to pay for it.
At this moment, the father-in-law interjected: "For such an expensive restaurant, I will pay for it." You're older, and you shouldn't have a lot of savings.
I was a little surprised, I didn't expect him to find an opportunity to provoke me so quickly. But I quickly adjusted my mentality and put on a calm and calm posture: "Thank you father-in-law for your kindness, but I can afford it, please use it."
After that, I took out my credit card and placed it in front of the waiter. The father-in-law's face immediately stiffened a little, and there was a faint irritation in his eyes.
From that day on, whenever I ate, drank and shopped, I was always the first to pull out my card and pay. However, my father-in-law tried to find fault, but I always took the lead and could not succeed.
Watching his face become more and more ugly day by day, I secretly rejoiced in my heart. Haha, old thing, do you think I can't afford it? Let you taste the taste of repeatedly failing to find fault!
In the past few days, I have observed that my father-in-law's face has changed from the initial pride to the current embarrassment and anger.
Continue! I will make him kneel down and call my dad and bow his head to me to confess his mistake! At that time, I will laugh at him well, make him ugly in front of his relatives and friends, and never forget!
On this day, we came to an upscale shopping center. I have observed that my father-in-law's face has become more and more ugly in the past few days, and it seems that he has been repeatedly hit by me.
I thought to myself, this time I finally hit him hard and make him ugly in front of the public, then the merit would be complete.
We walked through various luxury stores, and whenever I saw an item, I couldn't wait to pull out my card to check out.
"Uncle Li, I bought this bag for you. Don't shirk, just be a little bit of my heart. "I said to Uncle Li on purpose.
"Oh, no need, how embarrassing." Uncle Li was about to push off, and I had already taken out the card and swiped it. The father-in-law's face became even more ugly.
"Aunt Wang, this diamond necklace is really worthy of you! I bought it and gave it to you. "I bought the necklace again and gave it to Aunt Wang.
"Xiao Li, you are also too polite." Aunt Wang said with a smile. I know she actually loves the gift.
The father-in-law's face was already flushed, and he looked as if he was about to explode. I secretly observed him and thought, another final blow to make him ugly in front of the public!
Just then, a card suddenly appeared in front of me. I fixed my eyes on it, and it was actually my father-in-law's card!
"You buy so many things, let me pay for it." The father-in-law's tone was calm, and he couldn't see much emotion.
I was stunned in place, I didn't expect that he would actually oppose the first army and take out his card! Fortunately, my plan seems to have failed.
I looked at the card handed over by my father-in-law, but I still hadn't come to my senses.
It turned out that he had already prepared his credit card! And I was still immersed in the plan to make him ugly, and I didn't expect him to have a way to fight back.
"You, you don't use, I can pay for it myself." I said somewhat incoherently.
"All a family, use my card." The father-in-law said calmly.
My mind raced through what had happened in the past few days. I realized that I originally just wanted my father-in-law to see my strength, but I had unknowingly embarked on a wrong path.
My grand man, I want the old man to kneel and call my dad on the big holiday, which is simply unbelievable. Why should I worry about face with an old man?.
Besides, he is my father-in-law after all. I should not prove myself in such an extreme way, but should be more understanding and considerate of him.
"Father-in-law, I'm sorry, I was wrong." I plucked up the courage to admit my mistake and apologize.
My father-in-law smiled slightly and did not embarrass me again. I realized that he had been tolerating my mistakes all along.
I was determined to reflect on my actions. Maybe there was a misunderstanding between my father-in-law and me, but only by understanding each other can we become a big harmonious family.
This trip taught me the truth of life. I will face my loved ones with a broad heart, and family affection is far more valuable than face money.
I was deeply touched by my father-in-law's unexpected actions, and I began to reflect on what I had done during this time.
I criticized myself that the reason why I spent lavishly was not simply to teach my father-in-law a lesson, but out of satisfying my own vanity.
I want to prove that I am superior to him, so as to suppress him and fully demonstrate my power. This behavior is inappropriate.
As a family, we should live in harmony, understand and take care of each other. I shouldn't hurt my true feelings for the sake of false face.
I was determined to correct my mistakes and no longer care about face, but to treat my father-in-law with tolerance. Money is never as valuable as feelings.
"Father-in-law, I'm really sorry, I went too far before." I found my father-in-law and solemnly apologized to him.
The father-in-law was silent for a while, and then said gently: "I am also at fault, I should not laugh at your ability." We are all family.
I nodded, grateful for my father-in-law's tolerance. This incident made me understand that we need to understand and forgive more when dealing with our families.
As long as we put aside our prejudices and think more from each other's point of view, we can resolve misunderstandings and rebuild friendly family relationships.
On this trip, I learned the lessons of life. I will keep in mind the value of family affection and spend my old age with my father-in-law with a broad heart.
Time flies, and the trip is coming to an end. I decided to talk to my father-in-law again on the last day.
"Father-in-law, thank you for your inclusive understanding these days. Once again, I would like to sincerely apologize to you. I said solemnly to my father-in-law.
The father-in-law nodded: "I shouldn't have laughed at you first, we are all responsible." Family members should not have differences for the sake of face.
"You're right, I'm too concerned about face." I sighed, "This time I realized that we should all understand each other in order to become a big harmonious family."
"I am relieved that you can feel this way." The father-in-law said with a smile.
I nodded, and a smile suddenly appeared in my eyes: "But I finally proved to you, my card can be used!" ”
The father-in-law also laughed when he heard this: "Okay, I know, you have money." We'll just get along well in the future. ”
My father-in-law and I shook hands and made peace, and a warmth rose in our hearts. This dispute has brought a new breakthrough in our relationship.
Looking back on my journey, I am full of emotion. Family affection is the most precious thing in the world, and I will remember this insight and cherish every day with my family.
My father-in-law and I were deeply taught by this experience and decided to start over and repair this family relationship.
After returning home, I began to take the initiative to discuss some family matters with my father-in-law, and often invited him to my house. My father-in-law did not mention the previous unhappiness, but enthusiastically accepted my kindness.
Once, my father-in-law was unwell, and I drove him to the hospital as soon as possible. Although his condition was not serious, he was very touched by my careful care.
"Son, grandpa made it clear to you, grandpa was really unaccustomed to seeing you before. But this time your performance impressed me, and I forgive you.
I quickly shook his hand back, tears of gratitude in my eyes.
This trip has revitalized my relationship with my father-in-law. Mutual understanding, tolerance and commitment are needed in family affection, rather than being critical and calculating.
