I am Wang Fangfang, 38 years old this year, married for ten years, and live in a suburban community with my husband Li Qiang and 8-year-old son Li Tiantian. My husband and I are both migrant workers in this city, and we have always wanted to buy our own house, but our income is limited, so it is difficult to buy a house.
My 65-year-old mother, Zhang Yuying, is a typical traditional mother, and she has always emphasized to me that "if you don't buy a house, it won't be your home". I explained many times that the conditions were not allowed, but my mother just didn't listen, and always felt that I looked down on her as a grandmother.
A few days ago, my mother asked me to buy a house, but I politely declined. She immediately got angry and said that if I didn't buy her a house, she would go and die outside, and not come back, and then she slammed the door and left. I tried to hold on, but my mother kept walking out and didn't look back at me.
I was a little worried, so I followed my mother downstairs. I wanted to follow her to see where she was going, but I was afraid of irritating her, so I silently followed ten meters away. I saw my mother walk into a park near the neighborhood and sit down on a bench, head down, motionless.
I stood at the entrance of the park, feeling very uncomfortable. I know my mother's intentions, but it's so hard to buy a house. I thought about explaining it to my mother, but she always didn't listen to me, and would only blame me for being unfilial. I'm also sad, why can't my mother understand my difficulties?
"Auntie, why are you standing here alone?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears. When I looked back, it was my downstairs neighbor, Aunt Li.
"What's the matter, kid? Did you quarrel with your mother?" Aunt Li seemed to see through my thoughts at a glance.
"Alright, okay, don't be sad. Did your mother urge you to buy a house again? It's normal for your mother and daughter to quarrel, and it will be fine in two days. Aunt Li kindly patted me on the shoulder.
"But what my mother said also makes sense, I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a daughter. I choked up.
"Buying a house depends on your own situation, and your mother should understand you and not be angry. Aunt Li continued to persuade me.
I sniffed and looked at my mom sitting on a bench in the park, she looked lonely and sad.
"By the way, it's not safe for your mother to sit alone in the park. Why don't you go and stay with her. Aunt Li said worriedly.
I nodded, plucking up the courage to walk out into the park. Mom still had her head down, her hands clasped on her laps.
"Mom. I whispered.
Mom looked up, her face was full of tears, and her expression was a little surprised to see that it was me.
"Why are you here?" Mom wiped her tears, "Didn't I say to die outside?"
"Mom, I was wrong, don't be angry with me, okay?" I couldn't help but shed tears again, "I know that buying a house is important to you, I will definitely find a way, so don't worry about it like that." ”
"Find a way? Your mother and daughter have said so many times to find a way, I think you don't have the heart!" Mom's tone was still excited.
"What money to save!" My mother interrupted me impatiently, "I knew you looked down on me as a mother! If I hadn't given birth to you, I would have bought a house a long time ago!"
"Okay, okay, I don't want to listen to your excuses!" Mom stood up, "I'm leaving, don't follow me!"
After saying that, my mother walked quickly towards the entrance of the park. I stood there with tears in my eyes and I didn't know what to do.
At this time, Aunt Li came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Child, don't be too sad. At your mother's age, she is stubborn in her words and deeds, so don't be like her, let her calm down for a few days. ”
I wiped away my tears and nodded, "Thank you, Auntie, I know." I'll go home first and wait for my mother to come back. ”
"Go, go, go. "Aunt Li watched me leave.
When I got home, I called my husband Li Qiang and told him about his mother. He was also in a hurry, but said he couldn't do anything about the house. We discussed it for a while and decided to ignore my mother for a few days and give her a few days to calm down.
Three days have passed, and there is no news from my mother, I am very worried, and my phone has been turned off when I call her. On this day, I was anxious at home, and suddenly I received a strange phone call, saying that it was from a welfare home, and they found a lost old man with my contact information. I immediately rushed over to take a look, and sure enough, it was my mother!
"Mom, where have you been these days? Are you alright?" I stepped forward and hugged my mother tightly.
Mom was very pale and a little dirty, but she looked fine overall. The big stone in my heart fell to the ground.
"Daughter, I'm sorry, it's my mother who is willful. "My mother also hugged me, her voice choked.
"Mom, don't say it, it's me who is not good, and I can't understand your feelings. "I patted my mom on the back.
My aunt at the orphanage told me that my mother had been wandering around the nearby parks and streets for the past few days, and she didn't know what to eat, and she was finally found by passers-by and sent here. I thanked my aunt again and again and helped my mother get into a taxi home.
When I got home, I poured hot water for my mom to wash up, and then heated the meal. Mom gobbled it up, and my heart broke. In the past few days, she is an old man in her 70s, and I can't imagine how much she has suffered.
At this moment, her husband Li Qiang also came back. As soon as he saw his mother, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Mom, are you okay? We have been worried about you for the past few days!"
"I'm fine. Mom lowered her head and continued to eat, without looking at him.
"Eh, you've been working hard for the past few days. We are also thinking of ways to deal with the house, so don't worry too much. The husband continued.
"Figured out?" Mom put down the bowl and said in a somewhat excited tone, "I'm suffering outside, do you miss me?
"I don't want to listen to your excuses!" Mom stood up and said.
I quickly grabbed my mother, turned to my husband and said, "You go out first, I'll tell my mother." ”
The husband nodded and went out. I asked my mother to sit down and said softly, "Mom, don't be angry first, listen to me, okay?"
Mom didn't speak, and I continued: "I know it's important for you to buy a house, and you've always thought we had the ability but refused to buy it, so that's why you're angry. But it's really our lack of ability, you think about my husband and me's income, it's really difficult to buy a house and pay off the loan. We've been trying to save money just so that we can buy a house sooner rather than later and give you peace of mind. I am your daughter, and I will always take care of you and respect you. So can you not be angry with us and believe that we are really doing our best?"
After hearing this, my mother's eyes turned red: "Daughter, it's my mother who is not good, I only care about myself, I didn't expect your difficulties." Suffering out there these days, I know you guys are worried about me too. Mom was wrong. ”
I quickly hugged my mother and burst into tears.
At this time, my husband also came in, he walked up to his mother, and said seriously: "Mom, I'm sorry, Fangfang and I are both responsible for this matter." It's disrespectful for you that we don't take your feelings into account and only focus on our own problems. I promise that I will work overtime to earn more money in the future, and I will try my best to save enough for the down payment on the house as soon as possible with Fangfang, and I will often discuss with you, and I will not make any more decisions. Can you forgive us?"
"Mom, we're relieved if you can say that. We'll be sure to let you settle in your own house sooner. My husband took his mother's hand and said.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I know what you want. Mom wiped her tears, "I won't be angry with you about this in the future, and you have to be considerate of me, an old man, don't be surprised." ”
"Mom, I know it's wrong. I will always chat with you, ask you more about your thoughts, and report to you regularly about your plans to buy a house, so that you will not worry anymore. "I also held my mother's hand.
"Good boy, I believe in you. My mother lives with you, and I'm content. "Mom looked at me warmly.
The quarrel finally ended in reconciliation. After that, the relationship between the three of us became closer. Mom is no longer stubborn about buying a house, and she no longer thinks we don't respect her. My husband and I also learned to communicate often and involve my mom in our decisions.
Mom came to realize that our care and respect for her was far more important than owning a house. Sometimes I am busy with work and ask my mother to pick up her son from kindergarten; My husband also takes my mother out for a walk and chat regularly every week. We would celebrate Mom's birthday and go on a trip as a family. Mom felt our love for her and became a lot more cheerful.
Three generations in harmony, that's what I want most of all. We will definitely try to fulfill our wish to buy a house, but more importantly, the relationship between our families. I believe that with love, any difficulty can be overcome.
As the days of three generations living together went by, my husband and I are still trying to save for a house. Although the progress has been slow, we have not given up on this goal.
One day, I was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and my mother walked in and said with a smile: "Daughter, I went to the vegetable market today and met Aunt Zhang, she said that her son works in a school near us, and I heard that several new staff buildings have been built next to the school, and I am going to give priority to the teachers in the school to buy them, and the price will be lower." ”
I was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really, it's so close to us, it's a great opportunity!"
"yes, do you and your husband want to go to school and ask?" Mom said excitedly, "You may be able to afford this kind of internal preferential price to buy a house." ”
"Mom, you're right!" I quickly turned off the fire, "I'll call my husband over, let's go directly to the school to have a look!"
"Good boy, go, mommy is waiting for your good news at home!" Mom smiled and encouraged me.
I was so happy that I quickly called my husband to tell me the news, and he was also very excited and said to come over immediately.
The three of us came to the school and did see the new staff building that Aunt Zhang said. We hurriedly went to the teacher in charge of the placement to ask for details. The other party saw that we were the family members of the school staff, and they were also very enthusiastic to introduce us to the house purchase policy. The house price is really good, and the mortgage is available, and the income of the two of us is more than enough to afford the monthly payment!
"Thank you so much! We are very interested in buying, when can I sign the contract?" I asked happily.
"If you've decided, you can come next month to sign the contract and make the down payment. The teacher replied.
"Mom, we can buy a house! It's the house next to the school you said!" I said as soon as I walked in the door.
"Really? Great!" Mom stood up excitedly.
"Yes, thank you for reminding us of this information, otherwise we wouldn't have known there was such an opportunity. My husband also said with a smile.
"Haha, isn't that up to you?" Mom said happily, "Now our family finally has our own nest! Mom is so happy for you!"
I saw pride and joy in my mother's eyes, and my heart warmed. This time, we can finally fulfill our mother's wish.
With my mother's encouragement, we started busy preparing to buy a house.
After comparison, we chose a 2 bedroom unit with a good location and a relatively new decoration. My husband and I started to raise a down payment and at the same time went through the mortgage process with the bank. There were some troubles along the way, but we encouraged each other and completed the preparations step by step.
Finally, the day of signing came. My husband and my mother happily came to the real estate agency. When I saw our names on the contract, I couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Mom, it's signed, this house is ours now!" I said happily to my mother.
"Yes, we'll be the owners of the house from now on. My husband also said with a smile.
"Good children, the house you bought is small, but it is very warm, and my mother is already very satisfied. Mom had tears in her eyes.
"Mom, this is all thanks to your encouragement and reminders, without you we would not have been able to achieve our wish so quickly. "I shook my mother's hand and thanked her.
"From now on, I will live in my daughter's house, and my mother is so happy!" Mom hugged me excitedly.
After signing the contract, we couldn't wait to get to our new home. It's a humble residential building, but it's warm enough for us to feel at home.
"Mom, this is your bedroom, do you like it?" I led my mother to the master bedroom.
"I like it, I like it!" Mom happily walked around the room.
"Then we have to decorate and buy some new furniture to make my mother comfortable. My husband also said.
"As long as you have a place to live, you don't need to spend money on decoration. Mom said busily.
"Mom, now that the conditions allow, of course we want to make your stay comfortable. I replied with a smile.
Under my mother's repeated resignations, we still redecorated the house and bought new furniture and appliances to make this small home more warm and livable. Mom watched our family of three reunite in their new home, always with a happy smile on her face.
I am also very relieved that my mother's wish has come true, the misunderstanding between our mother and daughter has been cleared up, and this new house not only brings us a sense of belonging, but also strengthens the relationship between our family. All of this is thanks to my mother's understanding and support all the time. With her by our side, everything will be happier and more satisfying
