My name is Li Fengying and I am 65 years old this year. I have a son named Li Jianqiang, he married a local girl named Zhang Qian, and the two have given birth to a lovely daughter, who is three years old this year, named Li Sisi. My husband unfortunately passed away last year, and now he lives alone, and my son's family lives in the city, so they rarely come back to see me.
Today is the weekend, and my son called and said that he would bring Zhang Qian and Li Sisi back to see me, and he would have lunch at my place. When I heard the news, my heart blossomed, and I quickly began to prepare to prepare food for the family to come.
In the morning, I went to the vegetable market to buy fresh vegetables and meat, and I also went to the deli shop to buy my son's favorite braised pork when he was a child. When I got home, I washed the rice and then started chopping vegetables, thinking about my son's childhood as I cut them.
"Mom, we're here!" Just then, his son's voice came from outside the door.
"It's coming, it's coming!" I hurriedly wiped my hands dry and hurried to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw my son Li Jianqiang standing outside the door with Xiao Sisi in his arms, and Zhang Qian following behind, all looking at me with a smile.
"Mom!" Li Jianqiang shouted happily and hugged Sisi to me. As soon as Sisi saw me, he quickly stretched out his little hand to hug my neck, and shouted "grandma, grandma" in his mouth.
I was so happy that I said to my son and daughter-in-law, "Come in and sit down, you must be hungry, I'm getting ready to cook!"
"Mom, you've worked hard!" Daughter-in-law Zhang Qian also said with a smile.
My heart warmed, so I quickly let my son's family into the house and sat down, and then continued to work in the kitchen. In a blink of an eye, a few good dishes were ready, and the aroma of braised pork wafted out.
"Mom, it's so fragrant, we're all hungry!" The son said as he sniffed the food at the dinner table.
"Come on, come on, sit down, eat!" I brought out a couple of steaming dishes together.
"Wow, it's so rich, it's hard aunt!" Daughter-in-law Zhang Qian saw the table full of delicacies and praised it again and again.
"It's okay, it's all home-cooked food, you can try it. I laughed.
"Mom, I'll give you a toast first, thank you for preparing such a good lunch for us. My son raised his glass and said to me.
"Good boy, Mom's happiest thing is to see your family safe and happy. Come, Mom toasts you too!" I happily clinked my glass with my son, and then filled it for my daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
"Grandma, Sisi wants it too!" Xiao Sisi pouted and looked at us raising his glass, and said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, well, we Sisi also want to give grandma a cup!" I smiled and picked up Sisi's small cup and touched her small cup lightly, and Sisi clapped her little hands happily and smiled.
"Haha, we're so good. Come on, let's go!"
"Mom, this braised pork is so delicious, it tastes like when I was a child!" The son exclaimed after eating a bite of braised pork.
"Yes, Auntie, your skills are so good, I like to eat your dishes the most at home. The daughter-in-law also said with a smile.
I listened to the warmth in my heart, and said with a smile: "Then you eat more, don't be hungry, my mother makes everything for you." ”
The family had a happy lunch, and I watched them eat vigorously, with nothing but gratitude and satisfaction in my heart.
After lunch, my son's family said they wanted to sit with me for a while. I busily made them tea, and we sat together in the living room and chatted.
"Mom, are you still Xi living alone? Do you want to move to the city to live with us?" My son asked me with concern.
"I'm okay alone, you have your own life, you don't have to take care of me. I laughed.
"Mom, you should also pay attention to your body alone, if you need anything, just tell us, don't always think about carrying it yourself. The daughter-in-law also instructed.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll take care of myself. You also have to take care of yourselves and Sisi. I nodded.
"Grandma, Sisi likes grandma the most!" Sisi heard us talking, and suddenly threw herself into my arms and said.
"Grandma also likes us Sisi the most!" I hugged Sisi and gave her a loud smack on the cheek, and we both laughed.
In this way, the family sat warmly for a while, and the son looked at the time and said that he was leaving. I sent them to the door, and I was a little reluctant.
Goodbye!" The son's family waved their hands and got into the car to leave.
"Be careful on the road! call back to see me often!" I stood in the doorway and watched them, and instructed.
"I know Mom, take care of yourself!" The son rolled down the window and said.
I watched my son's car disappear at the end of the road, and then slowly walked back into the house.
The room still had the bustle of their arrival, with leftovers and teacups on the table. As I cleaned up, I couldn't help but moisten my eyes as I reminisced about the picture of the reunion with my son and their family just now.
Maybe it was because my heart was empty, I called my son, and he quickly picked up.
"Mom, what's wrong?" asked the son with concern.
"No, no, I just want to hear your voice all of a sudden. I said, "I was so happy just now, as soon as you leave, I'm a little Xi to it." ”
"Mom, I know it's not easy for you to be alone, I'll take them back to see you in a few days, don't think too much about us, pay attention to your body is the most important. My son gently comforted me.
"Good boy, Mom knows. Be careful on your way. I said with emotion.
"Okay Mom, you should rest early, I'll call you when I arrive. ”
"Okay, bye-bye. I hung up, feeling much more relaxed.
In the evening I made a couple of vegetarian dishes and simply settled for dinner. After eating, I sat alone on the old swing in the yard and gently swinged. The autumn evening breeze blew and it was a little cool, but I felt very comfortable.
After breakfast, I went out and bought some fresh vegetables and came back. I'm thinking about the home-cooked food that my son also likes to eat, and I'm going to do it next time
They do more when they come.
As soon as I put the dishes away, my phone rang, and it was my daughter-in-law calling.
"Hey, daughter-in-law, what's the matter?" I hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Mom, we want to see you again this weekend, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" The daughter-in-law's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Of course it's convenient! I'm thinking about you, tell me if there's anything delicious you want to eat, and I'll make it for you." When I heard that they were coming, I was overjoyed.
"That's great, Mom. Sisi heard that she was going to her grandmother's house, and now she asks us every day when we will go. The daughter-in-law said with a smile.
"Haha, we Sisi is the most well-behaved! Come on the weekend, I'll make Sisi's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for her. At the mention of Sisi, my heart softened.
"Okay Mom, we'll call you again to confirm the time. Take care of yourself, we'll see you soon!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Be careful on the road!" I said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, I was overjoyed and began to think about what to do to entertain them for the weekend.
On Friday night, my son called and said they would be at my house at noon on Saturday. I went to buy groceries early and cleaned the house.
"Mom, we're here!" While I was busy in the kitchen, my son's voice rang outside the door.
"It's coming!" I hurriedly took off my apron and went out to meet them.
"Grandma!" As soon as he saw me come out, Xiao Sisi happily threw himself into my arms.
"Sisi is the most well-behaved!" I happily teased Sisi.
"Mom, you've worked hard, and you want us to eat at noon today. The son also said with a smile.
"I'm happier to have you here. Come on in!" I smiled and welcomed them into the house.
After lunch, the family sat at my house for a while, and my heart was full
It's happiness.
"Mom, are you still Xi to living alone?" Do you want to consider moving to the city?" my son asked me with concern.
"I'm fine, you don't have to take care of me. I said with a smile.
"Mom, the children have moved out, you have to pay attention to your body alone, if it's really inconvenient, just tell us. The daughter-in-law also instructed.
"I know, I will take care of myself, and you must also take care of yourself and Sisi. I nodded and said.
"Grandma, Sisi likes grandma the most!" Sisi heard us talking, and threw herself into my arms again.
"Grandma also likes Sisi the most!" I hugged Sisi and kissed her loudly on the face.
In this way, we sat warmly for a while, and my son saw that the time was not early, and said that he was going back. I sent them to the door, and I was reluctant.
"Mom, take care of yourself, we'll see you again soon!" The son said.
"Good boy, be careful on the road! I stood in the doorway and watched them leave.
In the past few days, I have begun to feel that my home is empty, and I have lost my former vitality. I called my son and said he wanted to move to town and live with them for a while. My son and daughter-in-law were very happy and started arranging my move.
Finally, on a sunny weekend, my son's family drove over to help me pack my luggage and load it in the car.
"Mom, everything is ready, let's go!" My son said to me with a smile.
I nodded and followed them into the car. Looking at the old house fading away, I felt a little sad.
When I got to my son's house, they had already prepared a room for me. The room was furnished very similarly to that of my hometown, and I felt very warm when I saw it.
"Mom, do you like it here?" The daughter-in-law asked with concern.
"I like you, I'm happiest to have you here. I said with a smile.
"Grandma, we can see each other every day in the future!" Sisi said happily.
"Yes, we'll be a family from now on. I couldn't be happier that moving in with them was the right choice.
Since then, my life has become richer. Sometimes I go to the market to buy groceries, sometimes I go to the park, and sometimes I take care of Sisi at home. In the evening, after the family had dinner, I would tease Sisi and go to bed early. The days were dull but full and warm, and I felt happy and satisfied.
Living with my son, I feel much younger. Once, my daughter-in-law was going on a business trip, so she entrusted Sisi to take care of me for a few days.
"Mom, I'll ask you to help take care of Sisi these days. If she needs anything, just let me know. My daughter-in-law confessed to me.
"No problem, with grandma here, Sisi is the most well-behaved. You can go without worry!" I said with a smile.
Sure enough, Sisi and I have been getting along very happily these days. I would take her downstairs to play during the day and tease her to sleep at night, and she was also very obedient.
"Grandma, I like you the most!" Sisi said to me sweetly.
"Grandma also likes Sisi the most!" I hugged her and kissed her loudly on the cheek.
In this way, a few days passed quickly, and the daughter-in-law returned safely.
"Mom, you've worked hard for the past few days, has Sisi caused you any trouble?" My daughter-in-law asked me with concern.
"No, no, I watched, Sisi is the most well-behaved!" I said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm much more relieved to have you here. In the future, if necessary, I will ask you to help take care of Sisi. The daughter-in-law said gratefully.
"What's this, Sisi is my granddaughter, I'm most happy. I said happily.
The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was my birthday again. On this day, my son and daughter-in-law specially prepared a birthday for me.
"Mom, happy birthday!" When I walked into the living room, my son and daughter-in-law shouted blessings for me.
"Happy birthday grandma!" Xiao Sisi happily ran over and hugged me.
"Huh, how did you prepare this?" I was pleasantly surprised by the décor and the food.
"Mom, it's your birthday, and we have to celebrate it. Blow out the candles and make a wish!" said his son with a smile.
I looked at the expectant eyes of my children and grandchildren, and my heart warmed, and I quickly blew out the candles.
"Mom, have you made a wish?"
"My wish is the safety and happiness of my children and grandchildren!" I smiled and said what was in my heart.
"That's going to happen. Mom, let's live happily ever after!" The son also said with a smile.
I nodded, my heart full of happiness. Together with my family, I spent this warm and wonderful birthday.
