Far marriage, a word that conjures up many people, but in me, it fades its heavy color and is replaced by unexpected warmth. You may have heard a lot of stories about city girls and country boys, but what I want to tell you is my own version of the story of home. Don't worry, you might as well follow me and slowly unravel this veil of mystery. There will be some little surprises, just like the staircase design, which will surprise you a lot. I'm talking about the wedding room, it's not the kind of luxury villa you imagine, but it definitely has its own uniqueness. The in-laws' house is an ordinary three-story building with an inconspicuous appearance. However, it is such a simple building, and it means a lot to our family. This house was built with the hard-earned money saved by the parents-in-law bit by bit, and the whole house cost more than 300,000 yuan, which is a lifetime savings for them. I remember that the moment I walked through the door, I was moved.
The living room on the first floor is spacious enough to accommodate a family, a space that is unimaginable in a crowded city. My mother-in-law always likes to say that although it is not as prosperous as the city, the spaciousness of the home is our pride. And I, too, found a rare sense of freedom in such a space. Now, let me lead you into the little secrets. As I said, why are there two separate passages in that interesting staircase design? There's a story to tell. My parents-in-law have two sons, and they want each small family to have their own living space, but they are not willing to let this family relationship fade. So, they decided to design the staircase to separate the left and right, so that each house has its own entrance. The world outside the door is shared, and when you return to the door, each family can enjoy their own little world.
The two small doors, which lead to the respective kitchen and bathroom, are cleverly designed to ensure both independence and ease of use between families. Whenever I shuttle back and forth, I am always moved by this intention and wisdom. Look, at my brother's house, my sister-in-law keeps the kitchen and bathroom in order. Every time I go back to my mother-in-law's house, looking at this hard-working back, my heart is full of respect. On our side, because we spend most of our time in the city, every time we come back is only a short stop, but nevertheless, every time I step into this home, I can feel a full warmth and sense of belonging. I know that in the eyes of some people, our houses and lives still cannot touch the prosperity and convenience of the city. But I would like to say that this wedding room, for me, not only represents a living space, but also a symbol of home, a love for our parents-in-law, and a common memory and emotion for the family.
Look, this is my long-distance married life, without the bitterness and desolation I imagined, but with a different kind of happiness and warmth. I think through my story, you can also see that every life has its own unique beauty. Just like that staircase, it seems ordinary, but it contains deep meaning. Imagine walking along a country road, reminiscing about those warm and ordinary old days. In this era of rapid development, it is difficult to imagine such a pair of enlightened rural elders, who have supported a warm home in their own way. This is not just a story about the marriage room, but also a legend about respect and love. This is my wedding room, a space full of love and delicate thoughts. That house has witnessed too many warm moments. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, although they have lived in the countryside all their lives, they have an open-minded heart that is not lost to people in the city. Their thoughts are beyond ordinary people and make people awe-inspiring.
It was a house with a unique layout, in the same building, but with two small families completely separate spaces. The kitchen, bathroom, and staircase are all carefully designed to ensure privacy and autonomy for us and our big brother's family. Such a meticulous consideration, looking at it, is indeed rare in the countryside. And my mother-in-law, she is a meticulous and warm-hearted person. Whenever we return to our hometown, we can always see the familiar and intimate scene: clean and tidy rooms, clean quilts and sheets, as if they can always foresee our arrival and prepare everything for us in advance. Such details make people's hearts surge with warmth. To outsiders, the harmony of our extended family may be full of mystery. But in fact, there is no other secret, but the equality and love in the hearts of parents-in-law. In their eyes, there is no difference, no partiality, and they give us equal love and respect in their own way.
This respect is so profound that we as daughters-in-law can hardly find any reason to complain. With such a family and such a mother-in-law, she uses her actions to interpret what true kindness and generosity are. In this ever-changing society, traditional ideas collide fiercely with modern ideas, and many people have prejudices against the elderly in rural areas, believing that they are backward in their thinking and restraining the footsteps of young people. But from my point of view, I saw a different picture. They, with their own open-mindedness, broke this framework and set a vivid example for us. You may ask, why are they so open-minded, so different? I think it may have something to do with their attitude towards life. They believe that no matter how the world changes, the warmth and perseverance of home will never change. They use their wisdom and love to create a warm little world, in which we feel an incomparable sense of security and belonging.
You may think that this story is a bit old-fashioned, but please believe that such a story, in real life, still warms the hearts of countless people. In that small village, isolated by the hustle and bustle of the city, there is such an ordinary and extraordinary old man, who write poems about home and love in their own way. This love is not only limited to our two small families, it is more like a warm force that affects everyone around us. When we talk about our parents-in-law, the neighbors always look at each other with respect, and from time to time there are voices of approval. Because, in them, we see the most glorious part of human nature. In that house, I learned what it means to be at home and what true love is. Maybe one day, I will tell my children the story about this family, about their great grandparents.
It's not just a story about a marriage room, it's about a legend that has lasted for the ages, a legend of love and wisdom in a family. Let this story be passed on, just like the white sheets fluttering in the sun, so that more people can feel this temperature and feel this sincere love. This is a story about home, a story that will always warm people's hearts.
