Early this morning, I just woke up and was already in a bad mood. After washing and going downstairs, I saw my wife drinking coffee at the table, and her face was angry.
"I didn't go to work all day, dangling around at home!" My wife shouted at me, "Will you eat rice?" It's idle every day! ”
I was about to explain a few words, but my wife had already preemptively reprimanded herself.
"You said that you resigned to take care of the elderly and children, and I believed your nonsense! As a result, the children are still picked up and dropped off by me to school, the old people are still served by me, and you yourself eat and drink at home, what a fat you are! ”
I was furious, how could she slander me like that? I quit my job so that she had less to worry about!
"I drive my children to school every day, am I idle? I cook and serve the elderly every day, am I eating white rice? I raised my voice and retorted.
"Why do I have to go to work all the time to earn money to support my family? Could it be that it is only serious for me to go to the studio company? I said indignantly.
The wife sneered and said, "I'm already very tired from work, if you don't work, our family's expenses will depend on me alone!" Can I not get tired, you say? ”
I was going to explode: "What do you know? I'm busy every day, and you don't even know how hard I work! If I have to go to work, who will take care of the affairs at home? Think for yourself! ”
The wife was even more angry when she heard this, and directly smashed the mug in her hand, and the sound resounded throughout the room. I was shocked by her, she was so excited.
"I don't care if you're working hard, anyway, I want you to work!" I am alone to support your family, do you treat me as a cow and horse? My wife glared at me viciously.
When I saw her posture, I knew that I couldn't quarrel with her today. So he dropped the phrase "I'll go and relax!" He went out the door angrily.
A morning breeze hit my face, and I calmed down. The excitement during the quarrel just now gradually subsided.
Maybe I shouldn't have argued with her in such a vehement. After all, she has been working, and it is indeed not easy.
I was walking alone in the park, thinking about the argument I had with my wife. In the morning, when she reprimanded me so angrily, I felt a lot of grievances in my heart.
Just when I was worried about it, I suddenly heard someone on the side call my name: "Xiao Wang, isn't this Xiao Wang?" ”
I looked up and saw that it was my old friend Xiao Zhang. After a long time, he seemed to have gained a few pounds again.
"Long time no see! Why are you walking here alone? Xiao Zhang greeted me with a smile.
I must still have anger on my face, and Xiao Zhang asked me with concern: "Seeing that your face is not very good, is there something on my mind?" ”
I briefly told him about the quarrel with my wife this morning, and Xiao Zhang patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's normal for you husband and wife to have differences, don't take it to heart."
Without thinking, I followed Xiao Zhang to his house. When Xiao Zhang's wife saw me coming, she hurriedly asked me to sit down at the table and serve the hot dishes that had just been prepared.
"Here, try this beef stew radish, it's my new hometown dish!" Xiao Zhang's wife said with a smile.
I tasted it, the radish was soft and sticky, the beef tasted, and it was indeed delicious. The three of us chatted while eating.
"Hey, we as wives, we can't help but nag our husbands a few words, don't take it to heart." Xiao Zhang's wife enlightened me.
I opened up and told her the details of my argument with my wife this morning. After listening, she nodded and said, "I understand your intentions, but as a wife, she is indeed not easy."
I sighed, "I originally wanted to lighten her burden, but she treated me as a burden." I am sad.
Xiao Zhang also interjected: "You two are too emotional, you need to find the root of the problem, and you can't just talk with momentary anger.
I thought about their words, yes, my wife and I really need to communicate well, not just one-sided words.
After eating, I thanked Xiao Zhang and his wife. Xiao Zhang sent me to the door and again advised me to communicate calmly with my wife when I returned home.
After eating, I was about to get up to leave, but Xiao Zhang's wife signaled me not to rush away.
"What you just said, I see that you still have some words in your heart. If you have any troubles, just tell me, it will be more comfortable to talk about it.
I saw her look of concern, and thought that instead of hiding it from Xiao Zhang and his wife, I should talk away. So I sat down again at the table and began to talk about my marital troubles.
"I quit my job at home before, and I didn't mean to be lazy. The main thing is to lighten the burden on my wife and make her worry less.
Xiao Zhang's wife nodded after listening: "I understand that you are kind, but as a wife, the work is not easy, and after you resign, the family's expenses fall on her, and she is indeed not easy."
I sighed and said, "I understand her difficulties too. But she always thought that I was deliberately lazy, and I didn't care about my family and just wanted to eat white rice.
"You two have different perspectives, and it is inevitable that such a misunderstanding will occur." Xiao Zhang's wife said calmly, "As the two pillars of the family, you need to think more from each other's perspective and understand each other.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I have done my best at home, the children I pick up and drop off at school, the old people I take care of the living, but she is still not satisfied, she will only say that I eat white rice."
Xiao Zhang's wife nodded and said, "There is a lack of communication and understanding between you. I suggest that after you go back, talk to her well, express your hard work and helplessness, and listen to her difficulties, so that you can resolve misunderstandings and rebuild a harmonious family.
I said with emotion: "With old friends like you and Xiao Zhang helping me enlighten, I can see the root of many problems. I will definitely do as you say, go home and communicate well with my wife, and regain our relationship.
Xiao Zhang's wife smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "If there is anything unpleasant, you can come to our husband and wife at any time to discuss."
I nodded, determined to go home and reconnect with my wife and resolve our misunderstanding.
After leaving Xiao Zhang's house, I plucked up the courage to go home. Pushing open the door, the wife was still sitting at the dining table, her face full of unpleasantness.
I took a deep breath, took the initiative to walk up to her, looked into her eyes seriously and said: "I know that you work very hard, you have been working hard outside all these years, I sincerely thank you."
When my wife heard me say this, her face softened slightly, but she still didn't say a word.
I continued: "The reason why I chose to resign is not to be lazy or shirk responsibility, but to see that you are overworked every day, I really can't bear it, I want to relieve you of some burden.
Speaking of this, my wife red-eyed and stopped looking at me, but she did not continue to scold. Seeing her like this, I plucked up the courage to continue explaining:.
"I drive my children every day, do housework, take care of the elderly, you don't know how hard I work. I wanted to share some of your family burden, but I may not have expressed it clearly, causing you to misunderstand me.
The wife wiped her tears and said softly: "The reason why I often blame you is also because of too much pressure at work, and I myself am also very hard and tired."
I quickly said, "I understand your hard work, and I should be more considerate of your difficulties." In the future, I will help you share more housework so that you can worry less.
The wife finally raised her head, her eyes full of apologies: "In fact, I also thought about it during this time, you must have resigned with good intentions."
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you.
I quickly shook my head and said, "I'm just going to say I'm sorry, I shouldn't have argued with you." Let me start again today and take good care of you and your family.
My wife hugged me movingly and said, "Actually, I've been misunderstanding you, I'm sorry." Let's start over. ”
I patted her on the back and said with relief, "It's okay, let's understand and support each other and get through this together." ”
That evening, our family had a hard time going out for a meal to celebrate the renewed harmony of the family. My wife and I decided to find time each week to sit down and communicate and resolve unnecessary disputes and misunderstandings.
Before going to bed last night, my wife and I lay in bed and talked quietly for a long time. She took the initiative to take my hand and said to me as tiredly as when I was in love: "Honey, I'm sorry I misunderstood you for so long."
I smiled and pressed her hand and said, "It's okay, we understand each other and support each other." Hard work on you these days.
My wife rested her head on my shoulder and coquettishly said like a little girl: "Can you forgive me for my previous temper?" I swear I won't be vexatious again.
I rubbed her hair fondly: "Fool, you are my little girl." I forgive you, let's start over.
My wife smiled happily and hugged me affectionately. I hugged her tightly, feeling that the distance between us was suddenly much closer.
"By the way, we have to find time to go out on an outing and relax!" The wife suddenly proposed.
"Okay, just for the weekend. Let's hang out as a family. I readily agreed to her suggestion.
Thinking of this, I can't help but smile. The misunderstanding between my wife and I was finally resolved, she re-understood my good intentions, and I became more considerate of her hard work.
The next morning, my wife woke up early and cooked many of my favorite dishes. "I specially made you breakfast, try it.
After eating the breakfast carefully prepared by my wife, my heart warmed. The family atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious, and I feel happy just like when I was newly married.
"By the way, I think we can find a regular time to sit down and talk in the future, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes."
"Well, just every Sunday night, let's talk about our recent life and hearts. If you are unhappy, you can say it directly, don't hold it in your heart.
I also smiled, took my wife's hand and said, "With you, a confidant and benefactor, I have no regrets in this life."
The wife nodded shyly, her eyes full of happy smiles.
At this moment, I feel that my life is really complete. After this turmoil, the relationship between my wife and I has become stronger, and the bond between my family has become deeper.
