The grapes of my hometown are harvested, and bursts of enticing aromas waft through the air. My husband and I were busy packing up the grapes in the orchard.
"The grapes are ripe at home, come back with your son-in-law to eat!" the mother's voice was full of anticipation.
I smiled, but there was some annoyance in my heart. Although the grapes are delicious, our family has begun to have conflicts, and the conflicts between my husband and me are difficult to reconcile.
"If you can't afford to eat, you will leave if you eat again. I muttered and hung up.
My husband saw my displeasure and said, "What's wrong? Is your mother looking for you to eat again?"
"Maybe we need to talk to each other. "The husband tried to break the deadlock.
I nodded, knowing that he was also thinking about our marriage. We put down what we were doing and went home.
At home, my husband and I sat in the living room with a heavy heart. Mother brought a plate of fresh grapes and placed them in front of us, hoping that we could share the joy of family.
"I know the contradictions between you. "But everything is good at home." Only when the family is harmonious can we live happily.
I didn't respond on my lips, but I was a little moved in my heart.
"Mom, in fact, we didn't quarrel, but there were some disagreements on some small things. I explained to my mother.
"Whether it's big or small, it shouldn't affect your relationship. Only by tolerating and understanding each other can you live a happy life.
The husband also accosted: "Mom, we will communicate well and solve the problems between us." ”
Mother's face finally softened, "Okay, I'm sure you can handle these things. ”
My husband and I looked at each other and smiled, and the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. Mother's words made us understand the importance of communication.
Now, in the face of the grapes sent by our mother, we also feel full of happiness and gratitude. The sweetness and sourness of grapes make us cherish the warmth of home even more.
After a while, our family seemed to be back on track, but an unexpected incident triggered a new conflict.
That day, my husband and I were busy cooking dinner at home when we suddenly received a phone call. The phone rang sharply, it was my mom calling.
On the other end of the phone, my mother sounded a little anxious: "Your father had an accident and fell and injured himself, and now he is ...... in the hospital" Hearing this, I was stupid.
"How can this be......" I was red-eyed and my voice trembled a little. My mother told me the severity of my illness on the other end of the phone, and because I was out of town, I had to take leave to rush home, and my husband realized the seriousness of the situation.
I rushed to the hospital, anxious along the way. When I arrived at the hospital, my dad was already being treated in the operating room, and I was anxiously waiting for the results of the surgery.
Because of my busy work, I couldn't take care of my father's daily life, and my mother always complained about my irresponsibility to the family.
The atmosphere at home became a little tense, and I began to get tired of the daily strife.
One night, my husband came home and saw my tired look and asked with concern, "What's wrong?
I told my husband about the conflict at home, and he was silent for a while and said, "Maybe we need to communicate well."
Hearing this, I suddenly had a glimmer of hope in my heart. I know that only through communication and resolving conflicts can the family return to harmony and warmth.
However, I don't have an answer to the question of how to solve family conflicts.
A week later, I received a call from my mother, who told me in an emotional voice that she was sick and needed me to come home to take care of her.
When my mother saw me, she was smiling, and I felt a lot more at ease.
However, the new questions that came with it made me anxious. I noticed that my mother was starting to be a little mean in her words to my husband, and she was always complaining about his shortcomings.
These contradictions began to spread, and gradually affected my mood. I try my best to maintain family harmony every day, but I feel powerless in the face of conflicts between my mother and husband.
During this time, I began to feel burned out, and this struggle left me with a sense of powerlessness over my family.
My mother's condition did not improve, she was still weak, but she was constantly becoming irritable, and my emotions made me feel depressed.
I knew I needed to do something to break the ice, but I didn't know what to do. This kind of family conflict deepens unconsciously, making me feel like a dead knot that cannot be untied.
I knew someone had to break the deadlock, but I couldn't do it for the time being. I've been stressed out all the time since then, and I really don't know how to get through it.
