I still remember that it was a sunny weekend, and I went to Uncle Zhang's house as usual to be a guest.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Aunt Zhang sitting at the dining table with an expressionless peeling of green onions, and Uncle Zhang sitting on the side reading the newspaper.
I greeted softly: "Mother-in-law, you have worked so hard to peel onions, let me come." ”
Aunt Zhang looked up at me and said coldly, "You just arrived, the green onions have been peeled, don't bother you." ”
I was stunned, Aunt Zhang is usually kind to me, what's wrong today?
Uncle Zhang hurriedly folded the newspaper and said to me with a smile: "Ah Hong, you are here, sit down and rest, my mother-in-law got up today with the wrong foot, don't mind." ”
I nodded, sat down opposite Uncle Zhang, and asked with a smile, "Then I'll help with the cloth vegetables, are the dishes all cut?"
"Cut it, cut it!" Aunt Zhang stood up and said impatiently, "You just rest, I'll do the housework alone." ”
With that, she picked up a few dishes and walked into the dining room.
I looked at Uncle Zhang in surprise, and he was also embarrassed.
He explained that I have been working more overtime recently, and I have come to Zhang's house less often than before. Originally, my mother-in-law did all the housework, but now that I come less, my mother-in-law thinks I'm a little lazy and pushes all the housework for her.
When I heard this, I immediately felt ashamed that I had neglected the housework and caused trouble to my mother-in-law.
"Uncle, it's all my fault that I've been too busy lately, and you and your mother-in-law have worked hard. I'm going to help my mother-in-law with the housework!" I immediately stood up.
Uncle Zhang hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't blame you all, you are also busy with work." All these chores should not have been left on my mother-in-law's head, and my mother-in-law and I disagreed with this. ”
I sat back in, a little confused: "What's not to agree with?"
After hearing this, I nodded slightly: "I understand my mother-in-law's thoughts, but what you said also makes sense, uncle." We should cooperate with each other in housework, and we should not force anyone to do more and who to do less. ”
Uncle Zhang patted my hand approvingly: "Yes, Ah Hong, I knew you would understand." You have a good chat with your mother-in-law, and the three of us can always handle this matter decently. ”
At this moment, Aunt Zhang walked out of the kitchen with a few plates. Seeing that Uncle Zhang and I were talking, she put the dish on the table without saying a word, making a loud "bang" sound.
I hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, I'm here to help you set the dishes and add food." ”
"I don't need your help!" Aunt Zhang snatched the vegetable plate from my hand and said angrily, "You just think I'm old and can push me to do housework, so you're lazy, aren't you?"
I was speechless, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, Uncle Zhang hurriedly persuaded his mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, what you said is wrong. Ah Hong is usually so busy at work, how can she have time to be lazy?"
"Hmph, no matter how busy you are at work, you shouldn't leave your housework behind!" Aunt Zhang did not back down, "We have worked hard to raise you to grow up, can we only face a bunch of housework alone when you are old?"
My heart softened suddenly, it turned out that my mother-in-law was worried that she would be abandoned by us in her old age. I stepped forward and hugged my mother-in-law and said softly, "Mother-in-law, you are right, I shouldn't have neglected the housework. It's me who I'm not filial to you anymore. I'll definitely come back often in the future and do the housework with you, okay?"
Uncle Zhang came over, stroked his mother-in-law's back, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, you can enjoy your old age honestly, with us, how can you be left alone? ”
Aunt Zhang sniffed and patted me on the back: "Okay, it's all up to you." I'm getting old, too, and I'm really struggling to work. ”
Uncle Zhang and I looked at each other and smiled, both breathing a sigh of relief. Now, the day of family harmony is probably coming!
Heavy rain fell, and the wind rustled the leaves. The three of us looked out the window at the rain and were stunned.
"Oh, this rain is too sudden. Aunt Zhang came back to her senses first, "I just said that I wanted the weather to be clear, but it was raining so heavily in a blink of an eye." ”
"Yes," I sighed, "I see that the rain is so strong that it should not stop for a while, and I can't walk now." ”
Aunt Zhang patted my hand and said with a smile: "It's just right, God is beautiful, let you stay at home for a while, and we can have a good chat." ”
I saw that my mother-in-law's mood had improved, and I nodded happily.
Uncle Zhang got up and went to the balcony to take a look, and came back and said, "The rain is so fierce, it is estimated that it will take a whole day." Ah Hong, don't rush back, I'll send you back tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll call home and explain the situation. I said and took out my phone to tell my husband that he was safe.
"Okay, it's raining, and we're happy. Aunt Zhang clapped her hands and said, "Ah Hong, let's repair the old house, I see that the wallpaper is dirty, and the floor is dusty, let's clean up the house!"
I hurriedly agreed to come down and clean up the house with my mother-in-law. Uncle Zhang also hurriedly joined, and the three of them worked together, and the family was lively for a while.
Aunt Zhang hummed a little song to wipe the table, and Uncle Zhang and I worked together to clean the floor. For a while, the house lit up, and the house suddenly glowed with a warm atmosphere.
After work, the three of us sat together in the living room of the clean place, drank hot tea, and chatted. Aunt Zhang told me interesting stories about her childhood, and showed me old photos from her collection. Uncle Zhang also recalled the past when the two first met.
The rain still doesn't stop outside, but the home is warm and harmonious. I looked at the laughing Uncle and Aunt Zhang, and felt in my heart that this was my dream home.
After that, I started to try to find time to go to Uncle Zhang's house to help with housework and accompany my mother-in-law.
At first, my mother-in-law was a little uncomfortable, and she always worked in the kitchen by herself, and she was not very happy when I went to help.
Once I went early, my mother-in-law was still cutting vegetables in the kitchen, and when she saw me coming, she was a little surprised: "Ah Hong, why did you arrive so early?"
I smiled and said, "Today's work is easier, so I'll come over early, I'll help my mother-in-law chop vegetables." ”
The mother-in-law pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment: "You are a guest, and you are tired of chopping vegetables, so I should come." ”
I walked over and snatched the kitchen knife from my mother-in-law's hand, pretending to be angry and said, "Mother-in-law, we have agreed that we will share the housework together, you are the most tired of cutting vegetables as an old man, I should come to do this work when I am young and strong, so don't push back!"
When my mother-in-law heard me say this, she laughed: "Yes, my old bones really can't bear it." Then you can cut it, I'll wash the rice, and we'll cook together later." ”
Since then, every time I go to Zhang's house, my mother-in-law always leaves the most tiring work for me to do, and the rest of the light work is shared between the two of us. I also enjoyed it and chatted with my mother-in-law while working.
One day, when I arrived at Zhang's house, I found that the house was in a mess. It turned out that Uncle Zhang was on a business trip, and his mother-in-law was obviously a little difficult to take care of the housework alone.
Without saying a word, I began to help my mother-in-law clean up the house, while comforting her: "Mother-in-law, I'm here, don't worry if your uncle is not at home, let's clean up the house!"
My mother-in-law smiled and nodded, and cleaned up with me. Although neither of us was a big man, we worked together and the house was quickly in order.
After work, my mother-in-law smiled and said to me, "Ah Hong, thank you, it's good to have you." I'm really an old woman who can't handle so much housework. ”
I also smiled and replied, "What are you thankful for, we are just a family!"
The mother-in-law nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. I know that the gap between us has finally been bridged.
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, and I went to Uncle Zhang's house as usual.
As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a burning smell in front of me. I hurried to the kitchen, only to see smoke billowing and my mother-in-law scrambling to control a steaming pot.
"Mother-in-law, why are you stir-frying alone, it's so dangerous!" I quickly turned off the fire and opened the window to disperse the smoke.
I quickly helped my mother-in-law to the living room and sat down to check if she was hurt. After making sure that I was safe and sound, I smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you are too old to do such a dangerous thing. Leave the cooking to me!"
The mother-in-law was a little embarrassed, but nodded movingly.
I started cooking again, and my mother-in-law was cutting the dishes on the side. We chatted happily, and soon several dishes were ready.
At this time, Uncle Zhang also went home. He said in admiration: "Wow, today's meal looks sumptuous, my two chefs have worked hard!"
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Don't praise me, thanks to Ah Hong today, otherwise we would only have burnt vegetables to eat." I can't do this anymore with my old bones. ”
Uncle Zhang smiled and nodded, and the three of us happily ate dinner again.
After dinner, Uncle Zhang took the initiative to wash the dishes. I advised him to go and rest, just brush it himself.
Uncle Zhang resolutely refused, and said with a smile: "I came back from a business trip, and it was the home where the two of you cooked and cleaned up, and I should brush the dishes." It's only fair that the housework is shared by everyone. ”
My mother-in-law and I looked at each other and smiled, and my mother-in-law nodded and said, "Yes, our family will be more united." Thank you, uncle. ”
I am glad to think that Uncle Zhang and my mother-in-law have finally fully embraced the idea of everyone doing housework together.
Since that day, the life of the Zhang family has become happier and happier. After work, we often get together to cook a good dinner together, and then sit around chatting, singing, playing chess, and watching TV.
A happy life doesn't need to be luxurious, it just needs three generations to live in harmony and care for each other.
In this way, I often went to Uncle Zhang's house to help with housework, and I spent more and more time with my mother-in-law, and our relationship became closer and closer.
One day, I went to Zhang's house as usual, but found that my mother-in-law was home alone.
I asked with concern, "Mother-in-law, what about my uncle, why are you alone at home?"
The mother-in-law sighed and said, "Uncle has been very busy with work recently, and he went on a business trip, and he hasn't been back for almost a month. I feel so lonely by myself. ”
I felt sorry for my mother-in-law, so I hurriedly chatted with her to relieve my boredom. The two talked and laughed for a while, and the mother-in-law finally had a smile on her face.
"By the way, mother-in-law, I recently learned a few new dishes, so I'll cook them for you today!" I said happily.
"Okay, okay!" The mother-in-law also came to her senses, "You do it, I'll help cut vegetables and tofu or something." ”
"Okay, then let's have a cooking contest for mother and daughter today!" I laughed.
We put on our aprons together, prepared the ingredients with laughter and laughter, and started cooking in full swing.
I patiently introduced the recipe to my mother-in-law step by step, and the two of us completed it together, and finally made a few delicious dishes with both color and flavor.
We were tired from a busy afternoon, so we ate the fruits of our labor and chatted at the same time.
"Ah Hong, it's good to have you. I'm an old woman, how lonely I should be if I'm always alone!" The mother-in-law said with emotion.
"How can I mother-in-law, I am your daughter. I was also moved to hold my mother-in-law's hand.
The relationship between our mother and daughter was sublimated to a new level at this moment. The mother-in-law's eyes were full of love and joy.
After that day, whenever I went to Zhang's house, we would make some delicious food together and talk while cooking. I would teach my mother-in-law new dishes, and she would also teach me some of the old recipes.
I found that my mother-in-law's craftsmanship was beyond my imagination, and through patient guidance, my cooking skills improved rapidly.
Days like this make me feel extremely happy and satisfied. That's what I've always wanted to feel like at home.
In this way, my relationship with my mother-in-law has become closer and closer. We would go grocery shopping and chat together, cook and watch TV together, and sit at the door together in the sun and talk.
One day, I went to Zhang's house as usual, but I saw that my mother-in-law had a very bad face and was not in good spirits.
I hurriedly asked with concern, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”
I was very distressed, so I quickly hugged my mother-in-law and comforted her: "Mother-in-law, you think too much! We are a family, how can we leave you alone? Don't worry, I will always be with you." ”
The mother-in-law sniffed, nodded and said, "I'm relieved to have such a good child as you." As long as you don't dislike me, I have nothing to worry about. ”
From that day on, I would bring a hearty dinner to my mother-in-law's house every weekend to eat together. We watched TV, played chess, and chatted together, and my mother-in-law's spirit was much better.
At a family banquet, Uncle Zhang joked: "Oh, mother-in-law, you have Ah Hong waiting for you every day now, and you are living a small life, right?"
The mother-in-law smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, with Ah Hong, I have a very nourishing life, and I have someone to take care of my food and clothing, and I feel ten years younger again!"
"Then my uncle and I will be relieved!" I also smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you can enjoy your old age with peace of mind, and I have everything else!"
"Thank you, good boy. The mother-in-law said happily.
Since then, the life of the three members of the Zhang family has become happier and happier. Even if Uncle Zhang is busy with work, I will try my best to accompany my mother-in-law and make her retirement life colorful.
Now every time I think of this little bit of this time, I will feel that the most precious thing in life is the company of my family. It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to accompany my mother-in-law through her colorful old age.
