Dictation: Zhou Guojian
Editor|Lao Yu
"I got up in the middle of the night, drove 600 kilometers to pick up my daughter home, and when I got home, I began to regret it, and if I could, try not to let my daughter marry too far. ”
Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Guojian, and I am 52 years old.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, I did not stay in front of the computer and TV like young people, waiting for the Chinese New Year in 2023 and the arrival of 2024.
Instead, he washed up at nine o'clock in the evening and went to bed early.
But that night, at one o'clock in the morning, my wife received a call from her daughter.
The phone rang, my wife answered, and I listened to the conversation between my wife and daughter in a daze.
Wife: What's wrong Qinqin, why do you keep crying, what's going on?
When the wife asked, the daughter didn't speak, just kept crying.
In this regard, I began to worry, and I turned over and immediately took the mobile phone in my wife's hand.
I said to my daughter with concern: Qinqin, I am my father, tell me something and we will help you solve it.
At this time, my daughter cried for a while, and then said with a crying voice: Dad, I quarreled with Ah Feng, and Ah Feng kicked me out.
When I heard this, I was angry, this cold day, a woman was kicked out at one o'clock in the morning, what is this like?
I told my daughter not to cry, and I immediately called my son-in-law or in-laws and asked them to invite someone back.
But after making three phone calls in a row, my son-in-law's mother-in-law couldn't get through, which made me anxious.
I said to my daughter: Qinqin, don't be in a hurry, find a hotel to stay in first, my mother and I will go to see you tomorrow, and then settle accounts with them.
With my wife and I constantly comforting her, my daughter finally stopped crying.
But what my daughter said next made me realize how wrong I was.
Daughter: Dad, this is a rural area, where do you let me go to the hotel?
At this moment, I was completely stunned, I was completely sleepy for a moment, I was in the living room without clothes in winter, and I didn't know whether it was cold or hot.
I said to my daughter: Find a place with street lights and a place to sit down, and I will pick you up now.
At that moment, I quickly got dressed, called my cousin and wife, and immediately rushed to my daughter-in-law's house as fast as I could.
Along the way, the wife was in contact with her daughter and comforted her.
My cousin and I took turns driving, and we didn't stop rushing to our daughter.
But my daughter was far away, although they were all in the same province and crossed several cities, even though my cousin and I rushed over quickly.
By the time I got to my daughter, it was already 8 o'clock.
My daughter said that at about 6 a.m., when it was a little light, she started to rush to the town, and now she is at a breakfast shop in the town, and we asked us to go and look for her.
When we found our daughter, we found her sitting there alone, surrounded by a suitcase, a school bag, and a power bank that had been charged overnight.
The moment I saw my daughter, my eyes instantly turned red, and when my daughter saw us coming, she also walked over with tears on her face, as if she had been crying all night.
finally stopped, and the moment they saw their wife arrive, the two hugged each other tightly and cried again.
Through the conversation between my wife and my daughter, we understood the reason.
It turned out that last night, the son-in-law went out to gamble with someone again, and this is not once or twice.
The daughter called her son-in-law continuously at night to ask him to go home, but the son-in-law refused, so the daughter went over and called him back in person.
In the end, the son-in-law followed home, but the first thing he did when he got home was to quarrel with his daughter, and then the two quarreled more and more, and the son-in-law asked his daughter to pack up her things and leave quickly.
When I learned what was going on, I was furious.
It's a big deal, and you can't let a woman freeze outside the house in the middle of the night in the middle of the night.
I was about to go to my in-laws' house in a rage, but my cousin pulled me and said, "Brother, let's eat something after a night drive."
But at this moment, I couldn't eat at all, so I was going to go to my son-in-law to settle the account with my daughter.
It was 9 o'clock in the morning when I returned to the village, and I arrived at my son-in-law's house.
The father-in-law watched TV in the house, and the mother-in-law dried things in the yard.
When I called a group of us to come, my mother-in-law was still very surprised, and then said: Oh, why did my in-laws come, and they didn't notify me in advance, so hurry up and please.
I stood there without saying a word, and my mother-in-law saw my anger and immediately asked suspiciously: What's wrong?
At this time, when I heard the conversation outside, my father-in-law also came out, and was very surprised to see us, and trotted over to invite us in.
We still didn't say anything, and then my father-in-law noticed that my daughter was crying all the time, and immediately asked what was wrong?
I said, "Last night, on a cold day, she stayed outside the house all night, and none of you know?"
At this time, the in-laws suddenly realized and said: I don't know this damn son, I want to know, I must take a belt to whip him.
My father-in-law's words completely disappointed me.
Because I just said that my daughter stayed outside all night, and I didn't say that I quarreled with my son-in-law, normally my in-laws have to ask for a reason.
But the mother-in-law just pretended not to know, and the father-in-law knew that it was because of her son-in-law at this time.
This proves that they are all lying.
I didn't say anything more and just asked my son-in-law to come out.
The son-in-law woke up at this time, got dressed and came down slowly.
When my son-in-law saw my wife and me, he called my parents and my cousin uncle.
The son-in-law and I didn't speak, and the father-in-law began to scold the son-in-law: Ah Feng, you are doing this, why did I give birth to such a son as you, you let Qinqin freeze outside the house alone for a night in the middle of the night.
At this time, the son-in-law lowered his head and began to apologize constantly.
The wife began to keep counting the son-in-law's mistakes, and the mother-in-law was also there to help teach the lesson.
I think the lesson is almost over, and everyone scolds them quite harshly.
I finally gave a good face, and I said to my son-in-law: Ah Feng, although my daughter is not too good, she is also a good wife and mother.
You indulge in gambling all day long and don't make a penny, my daughter is going to call you back for your own good, what is it that you drive people out of the house in the winter, this is dangerous.
Everyone scolded you enough today, and you know that you are wrong, so I won't talk about you.
If there is any conflict in the future, you can tell us first, and we will help you mediate.
But I want you to write a letter of guarantee for everyone to show that nothing like this will happen in the future, and you won't be able to scold my daughter for no reason.
When I said this, my in-laws also felt right, and later, under the supervision of everyone, my son-in-law wrote a letter of guarantee and read it to us.
After all the contradictions are resolved, it stands to reason that the daughter should stay.
But yesterday my daughter suddenly said that she wanted to go back to her parents' house, and she left with us that day.
On the way back, the atmosphere was no longer so tense, my cousin was watching videos, and my daughter and wife were chatting about family life.
The daughter said, "Thanks to you for coming and giving me a sigh of relief, I will go home for a month or two this time, and I will go back next time."
My wife also said happily on the side: Yes, Ah Feng was criticized miserably today, and he also wrote a letter of guarantee, so he will be honest in the future.
Everyone was relaxed along the way, but my heart was extremely heavy.
When I got home, I secretly cried for a while at night.
Because I know that there will definitely be many quarrels between my daughter and son-in-law in the future.
The son-in-law is good at gambling, this Xi is difficult to change, a person who is good at gambling and is not motivated, when he is in a bad mood in the future, he will still lose his temper with the people around him.
And the in-laws and mothers-in-law are also for their sons in everything, not really to their daughters-in-law.
We passed, they were one attitude, we didn't pass, and another attitude.
Now the thing I regret the most is that I agreed to marry my daughter far away, more than 600 kilometers away, and if my daughter encounters similar things again in the future, maybe she will hide it herself, and we don't know.
Even if my daughter is homesick, it will be troublesome to go home, and it will not be easy for us to meet her.
But now I can't change anything, these worries and discomforts can only be put in my heart, I just hope that my daughter can get better in the future.
In the end, I still hope that if your daughter gets married in the future, if you have a choice, try not to marry too far.
I wonder what everyone thinks about this?
