My name is Li Fengying and I am 65 years old. I have a daughter named Li Xiaofang, she is married to a man surnamed Wang, and they have a five-year-old son named Wang Xiaoming.
This time I decided to stay at my daughter's house for a while. My relationship with my daughter-in-law has never been very good, she always thinks that I manage too much, and often complains that I am troublesome. Now that my wife has passed away, it's so lonely to live alone. I want to go to my daughter's house for a while to help take care of my little grandson and let my daughter worry less.
I told my daughter in advance that I was going to stay with her for a while. Although the daughter did not directly object, she also did not welcome: "Mom, come on." However, we are in a small place, so you may not be Xi to living here. "I knew my daughter didn't really want me to go, but I decided to go anyway.
Finally, on a sunny morning, I dragged a large suitcase to my daughter's house.
"Mom, you're here!" My daughter opened the door and saw me with a smile on her face, but I could tell she was a little embarrassed.
"Xiaofang, let your mother come in and sit. "My son-in-law Wang Qiang also came over to help me with my luggage.
When I entered the house, I saw my grandson Wang Xiaoming playing with blocks on the ground, and when he saw me coming, he ran over happily: "Grandma!"
I couldn't help but bend down and pick him up and kiss him on the cheek: "Xiao Ming is so good, grandma has come to see you!"
Xiao Ming said coquettishly in my arms: "Grandma, I miss you so much, will you stay in our house for a long time?"
"Of course I will stay for a long time, and grandma will always accompany Xiao Ming. I said happily.
The daughter hurriedly said, "Mom, you put down your luggage first, and I'll clean up the room for you." There are two bedrooms in our house, one is where Wang Qiang and I live, and the other is Xiao Ming's room. You can stay in Xiao Ming's room for the time being, and I'll make a small bed for Xiao Ming to sleep in at night. ”
I nodded, thinking to myself that my daughter's house is really small, and it seems that I have really caused trouble for them this time.
I moved my suitcase to Xiao Ming's room, and my daughter helped me clean up and moved Xiao Ming's toys to the living room first. "Mom, you can live here, if there is anything you don't Xi to get used to, just tell me. The daughter said.
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine living in your house." ”
The daughter hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Well, Mom, you know that our family's conditions are limited, can you not cook too many dishes every day? ”
I could tell my daughter that she was worried that I would increase their expenses by cooking too much. I was a little embarrassed, but I nodded and said, "Okay, I know, don't worry." ”
I insisted, "I'm willing to help, just let me do it, it's what I should." ”
At dinner in the evening, my son-in-law Wang Qiang said to me with a smile: "Mom, your craftsmanship is really good, I eat this meal deliciously." ”
"Well, I don't have to say anything about my mother's craft. The daughter also said with a smile.
I watched with pleasure as they ate, and thought to myself that I had really helped a lot here.
However, when the daughter and son-in-law got up for breakfast, their faces were not very good-looking.
"Mom, why are you doing so much? We usually eat a little bit for breakfast. The daughter said with some dissatisfaction.
I was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "I just want to make you a nice breakfast." ”
The son-in-law also said, "Mom, don't worry so much, just eat and eat." ”
Since that day, I've tried to simplify the amount of cooking as much as possible. But I still want to help my daughter with more housework, so I do some housework every day.
One day, I was doing laundry, and my daughter came to me and said, "Mom, don't wash your clothes, I usually save up and wash them together."
Target. ”
I was a little embarrassed to hear it, but I still said, "It's okay, I'm also practicing my hands while washing." ”
"I really don't need Mom, we can use the washing machine, it's too hard for you to wash by hand. The daughter said firmly.
I had to listen to her and stop doing hand laundry.
A few days later, my son-in-law Wang Qiang said to me: "Mom, don't worry about housework every day, just rest well." We don't want to bother you every day. ”
I smiled and nodded, "Okay then, I'll be a little more relaxed these days." ”
So I cut back on the housework, but I still feel like I have nothing to do. I saw that my daughter was busy, and I felt very uncomfortable.
One day, my daughter was going to work, and I offered to say, "You go to work, Xiao Ming, I'll take care of it." ”
"No need Mom, I hired a nanny, and I will come to cook for Xiao Ming at noon. The daughter said.
My heart sank, and it turned out that my daughter had treated me like an outsider.
In the past few days, I feel that my daughter and son-in-law are becoming more and more impatient, and sometimes they even directly tell me not to touch their things. I was so sad that I felt as if I had become a burden.
One day, I heard my daughter and son-in-law talking about me.
"When do you think your mother will go back? I think it's boring for her to stay in our house. The son-in-law said with some dissatisfaction.
"I also think she's been staying too long, and the house is in chaos. The daughter also said, "But it is inconvenient for her to be alone, so she can only wait for her to offer to go back." ”
My heart was cut like a knife when I heard it. It turned out that my daughter had wanted to drive me away for a long time, but she didn't know how to speak.
The daughter seemed relieved: "Mom, you can go back as soon as you say it, it's not convenient for you to live alone." ”
I nodded sadly. I packed my bags and prepared to leave that day.
Xiao Ming saw that I was leaving, and anxiously pulled the corner of my clothes and said, "Grandma, don't you want to go, okay? I will miss you!"
I felt even more sad in my heart, but I still said to Xiao Ming: "Grandma is going home, come to see you another day, good." ”
I said goodbye to my daughter's family with red eyes and got into the car home alone. I suddenly felt how lonely and pitiful I had become.
When I got home, I was living alone, and my heart was empty. I often think about the bits and pieces of my daughter's house, and I can't help but burst into tears.
A few days later, my daughter called, and her tone was a little embarrassed: "Mom, it's not convenient for you to go back alone, do you want me to help you clean up?"
I said, "No, I'm fine on my own, you can do your business." ”
The daughter seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Then be careful yourself, remember to tell me something." ”
I answered, but I was very sad. I began to reflect on whether I had not done enough and failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother, which is why my daughter was so cold.
After a while, I called my daughter's house and wanted to ask how Xiao Ming was doing. As soon as the phone was connected, I heard Xiao Ming's excited voice: "Grandma!"
My heart suddenly warmed: "Xiao Ming, grandma misses you, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine, grandma, come and see me!" Xiao Ming said happily.
At this time, the daughter took the phone: "Mom, do you have something to do with Xiao Ming?"
I said, "It's okay, I just want to ask Xiao Ming how he is, how are you all doing over there." ”
"We're all fine. The daughter said in a cold tone, "Then I'll hang up first, and then I'll fight if I have something." ”
Before I could say anything, my daughter hung up in a hurry. I put down the phone in disappointment, thinking to myself that my daughter really didn't want to contact me.
During the Chinese New Year, I sent some gifts and red envelopes to my daughter's family, but my daughter only said a few polite words and did not ask me to go to her house for the New Year. I could only spend a lonely Chinese New Year's Eve at home.
I began to feel that life was becoming more and more meaningless, and I was depressed all day long. Until one day, I suddenly received a call from my daughter: "Mom, I want to ask you to come and help me take care of Xiao Ming for a few days, is it okay?"
I was amazed: "Okay, what's going on?"
The daughter said: "I have to go on a business trip for a week next month, and Wang Qiang is also very busy and has no time to take care of Xiao Ming." Can you please help take care of him?"
I burst into tears: "Of course! I'll be right over." ”
So I went to my daughter's house again. Although my daughter still has a businesslike attitude, I can see that Xiao Ming is very happy.
"Grandma, you're here with me again!" Xiao Ming happily hugged me.
My heart warms,
Stroked his hair and said, "Grandma will take good care of Xiao Ming." ”
The daughter explained some precautions and hurried to work. I started my days of taking care of Xiao Ming at my daughter's house.
I did my best to take care of Xiao Ming's daily life, cook food for him on time, and play with him. Xiao Ming is very clingy to me, and I love him as if he were my own child.
One day, Xiao Ming said to me, "Grandma, can you stay in our house all the time and stop leaving?"
I smiled and said, "Grandma also wants to stay with Xiao Ming all the time, but grandma wants to go back to her own house." ”
"Then you will come to see me often in the future, okay?" Xiao Ming said coquettishly.
"Well, grandma must come to see you often. "I was happy and sad at the same time.
After a few days, my daughter finally returned from a business trip. She watched me pack my bags and prepare to leave, hesitated, but said, "Mom, thank you this time." You should also pay attention to your body when you go back. ”
I nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Xiao Ming will leave it to you. ”
"Got it, don't worry. The daughter said.
I picked up Xiao Ming, and he hugged my neck tightly, unwilling to let go: "Grandma, don't you really live down?"
I held back my tears and whispered, "Grandma is going home, Xiao Ming has to be obedient, you know?"
Xiao Ming cried and nodded, I was very distressed.
When I got home, I was once again alone. I began to reflect on whether I was not good enough for my daughter and son-in-law to be so cold to me.
One day, son-in-law Wang Qiang suddenly called over, and his tone was very respectful: "Mom, we want to ask you to come over and help take care of Xiao Ming, can you come?"
I was a little surprised, but I agreed.
When I came to my daughter's house again, my son-in-law's attitude surprised me even more, he actually took the initiative to help me with my luggage, and said, "Mom, you have worked hard, we really need your help." ”
I was baffled, but I still started to take care of Xiao Ming. This time, my son-in-law Wang Qiang also seemed to respect me a lot, often asked me about my experience in raising children, and chatted with me every day.
Once, Wang Qiang suddenly said to me: "Mom, I'm really sorry before, we shouldn't have treated you like that." It's because I'm useless that I'll keep bothering you. ”
I was surprised: "What are you talking about? I'm your mother, and it's right to help you." ”
"No, we didn't be filial to you. Wang Qiang said, "I encountered some difficulties in the company before, and Xiao Ming was sick, and our husband and wife were very nervous financially and energetically, so we were in a bad mood and always vented to you." It dawned on me that not only should we be grateful for your help, but you have not had it easy. I'm really sorry. ”
I was thrilled: "It's good that you think that." I've been reflecting on how well I've not done enough to upset you. ”
"No, you've done a lot. Wang Qiang said, "From now on, I will definitely be filial to you, and let Xiaofang be more filial to you." We will definitely give you a warm home. ”
This time, my life at my daughter's house has become noticeably warmer. Sometimes my daughter Xiaofang will sit down and talk to me, she said that the work pressure is too much, she was in a bad mood before, and she always complained about me, which is really sorry. I looked at her with relief and felt like she was finally an adult.
Xiao Ming is even more sticky to me. Every day I took him to kindergarten, and he wouldn't let go.
"Grandma, you're going to pick me up in the evening, right?" Xiao Ming asked worriedly.
"Yes, grandma will come to pick you up. I whispered.
I'm starting to feel at home. I had so much fun with my children.
Until one day, I suddenly received a phone call from my wife's brother. He said that some of my wife's inheritance needed to be dealt with, and I needed to go back and sign it.
I had no choice but to say to my daughter: "Xiaofang, I may have to go back for a while, and you can tell me at any time if you need help in your life." ”
"Mom, take care of things and come back. I'll take care of Ming. "My daughter has completely lost her previous coldness.
I nodded, and although I was reluctant, I decided to go back and deal with the inheritance first.
On the way home, I suddenly received a message from my daughter, which said: "Mom, we miss you very much, and the house is empty without you."
