My name is Li Fengying, my wife's name is Zhang Minghui, I am 60 years old this year, and my wife is 65 years old. We have a daughter named Li Xiaoqian, who is married to a husband with the surname Wang, and Wang Jun is his name. My daughter is 30 years old this year, she and Wang Jun have been married for 5 years, the relationship is very good, and she already has a 3-year-old daughter.
After my daughter married into Wang Jun's family, they bought a house in the city to live in. Wang Jun works as a salesman in a foreign company and earns a good income. My daughter also works as an accountant in a company, and both of them work in the city.
My wife and I still live in the countryside of our hometown, living on a little savings and the support of our children. In the past, when my daughter was not married, we were reunited at our own house every year for Chinese New Year's Eve. Since her daughter got married, she followed her husband to celebrate the New Year, and our old couple could only spend the New Year at home by themselves, and our hearts were indeed a little empty and lonely.
This year, I discussed with my wife that we should go to my daughter's house to celebrate the New Year with them. My wife said, it's okay, I haven't been with my daughter's family for a long time. So it was decided that we would go to our daughter Li Xiaoqian's house for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year.
I happily began to prepare for the New Year. I bought a lot of snacks and fruits that my daughter and granddaughter like to eat. I also made dozens of dumplings by hand, because I am good at craftsmanship, and my daughter and son-in-law love to eat the dumplings I made. My wife also bought some gifts to take to my daughter's house.
A few days ago, I called my daughter Li Xiaoqian and told her that we were going to her house for the Chinese New Year. The daughter on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant, but still said, "Mom, come over with Dad, we miss you very much." I heard that my daughter's tone was a little wrong, so I asked her, "Xiaoqian, isn't it convenient for us to go to your house?"
I smiled and said, "Silly girl, what's this, come here, you're busy with you, we're here for reunion, and we won't help you."
I smiled and said, "Silly girl, what's this, come here, you're busy with yours, we're here for reunion, and we won't help you with things, just be busy as usual." ”
I comforted my daughter and said, "Xiaoqian, don't think so much. We're not picky, and it's the happiest thing to be with you. Come on, call me when you're ready, and then your dad and I will go straight to your house. ”
After hanging up the phone, I began to happily pack my luggage and buy New Year's goods. My wife has also been thinking about how happy I am to be reunited with my daughter's family. Finally, the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, and we set off for our daughter's house early in the morning.
When we arrived at my daughter's house, my son-in-law Wang Jun welcomed us very warmly, and my daughter greeted us with a smile. We gave them everything we bought, and our daughter and son-in-law were very happy. I saw that my daughter's house was very simple but very warm, so I said, "Xiaoqian, your house is really well decorated, and my mother likes it very much." ”
The daughter was a little embarrassed and said, "Mom, let's just play with it, don't laugh at it." ”
I quickly said, "It's really good, Mom didn't tell a joke." By the way, Mom also brought you home-made dumplings, and we can eat them in a while!"
In the evening, our family sat around the table for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. I saw that my son-in-law Wang Jun was eating dumplings in the wrong way, so I said: "Jun'er, you should dip dumplings in vinegar when you eat them, so that they are delicious." Dip it in vinegar and then some chili oil. ”
The son-in-law was a little embarrassed and said, "Mom, I like to dip it in chili oil first, and then dip it in vinegar, don't you think I can eat it like this?"
I felt that my son-in-law was a little disrespectful to his elders, so he immediately said: "Jun'er, you don't know the truth of eating dumplings! Vinegar can improve freshness, and dipping vinegar first is the right way to eat." If you eat it in the wrong order, it will affect the original taste of the dumplings!"
I was a little angry, raised my voice and said, "Are you talking back to me? You must first dip dumplings in vinegar, this is basic common sense! You have eaten so wrong, and you have not been corrected, it is too unusual!"
I reluctantly said: "Xiaoqian, you know how to help your husband speak! His way of eating dumplings is completely wrong, I am an elder, and I have the obligation to correct him, which is good for him." You young people are really underwhelmed right now!"
The son-in-law was also a little angry and said, "Mom, I respect your age and experience, but there is no absolute standard for the way to eat dumplings, right? ”
I thought to myself, their old couple is too picky, and their daughter's conditions are limited, so they have been arranged very carefully. The daughter was also a little unhappy and explained, "Mom, let's dress up normally, and you and Dad don't lift it."
The daughter was also a little unhappy and explained, "Mom, let's dress up normally, and you and Dad don't raise the bar." ”
Grandpa said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaoqian, what do you mean by this? Where did we raise the bar? I just think that the layout of your house is a little simpler, is this wrong?"
Grandma also interjected: "That's it, we don't have ulterior motives, we just think that your arrangement is not lively enough." ”
The daughter explained: "Mom, my conditions are limited, and I have arranged the best I can, so don't be picky, okay?"
My grandparents and grandmother's faces were ugly, and I saw that the atmosphere was not right, so I hurriedly played a round and said: "Oh, Xiaoqian is a good daughter of filial piety, let's not worry about this little thing." Come on, come on, eat dumplings!"
We sat around the table and ate dumplings again. My grandparents are also the parents of my daughter-in-law, so I can understand their insistence on the method of eating dumplings. I thought that everyone should not have a conflict over this, but who knew that my grandparents had to eat in their own way.
My grandmother soaked the dumplings in vinegar for a long time, and I shook my head. My grandfather cut a dumpling and boiled it in the soup, and I was amazed. The daughter also advised them: "You can eat according to your Xi, and you don't need to force it." ”
My grandfather was very dissatisfied and said, "Xiaoqian, what do you mean by this? We must eat dumplings like this, this is the most respectful way to eat dumplings! Do you want to deprive us of the freedom to eat dumplings?"
I saw that my grandparents were so unreasonable that I couldn't help but say, "You can't do this, soak the dumplings in vinegar, what is the original taste? It's so strange to eat like this!"
My grandparents both glared at me, and my grandmother said, "Fengying, don't worry about us, we must eat dumplings like this!"
The daughter persuaded left and right, but the three parties insisted on their own positions and quarreled.
I said, "You guys eat dumplings in vinegar, it's so weird, you can't taste the original flavor at all!"
Grandma said dissatisfiedly: "Feng Ying, you don't care about us! We must eat like this, this is our tradition!"
Grandpa also said: "That's it, Xiaoqian, you don't care about us, we have our way to eat dumplings!"
The daughter was very embarrassed and said, "You can do things in your own way, but you also have to respect others." You're eating so strangely, and it's ugly. ”
Grandpa was furious and said, "Xiaoqian! You look down on your own father and mother! You are now a married person, why are you talking more and more unspeakable!"
Grandma also said angrily: "That's it, Xiaoqian, you have also learned to talk back to your elders!
The daughter couldn't bear it anymore and said, "You can't be big or small in my house!" I respect you, but you also have to respect me and my family!"
The more the three parties quarreled, the more excited they became, and the son-in-law Wang Jun persuaded them to fight on the side, but the situation was already difficult to manage. I thought to myself, today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is simply too unpleasant, and everyone is arguing like this for the method of eating dumplings.
So I said to my daughter and son-in-law: "Jun'er, Xiaoqian, it's the mother who is wrong, and it is really undeserved to quarrel with you over this trivial matter." Today is a good day for reunion, and we should not quarrel over these trivial matters. Mom apologizes to you two, I'm really sorry!"
My daughter and son-in-law were surprised and didn't expect me to apologize suddenly. The daughter hurriedly said, "Mom, don't say that, it's not good for us, and we shouldn't quarrel with you." We understand you
The daughter hurriedly said, "Mom, don't say that, it's not good for us, and we shouldn't quarrel with you." We understand your intentions, but in a different way. Today is a day of reunion, and we should not be angry about these little things. ”
