Xiaohong and I were college classmates, and after graduation, we met on a blind date and soon entered the palace of marriage.
"Wife, I'm back. I shouted as I took off my shoes. "Well, wash your hands and go, the meal will be ready soon!" Little Red's voice came from the kitchen. I walked briskly to the bathroom to wash my hands, and then went to the dining room, where Xiaohong had already brought a few vegetarian platters. "How's your day going?" Xiaohong took a sip of the soup and looked at me. "It's okay, the company's project is in a hurry. But it's finally done, and the work pressure can be a little less late. I also took a big sip of hot soup and felt warm all over my body, "My wife's craftsmanship is getting better and better!" How can there be!" Xiaohong smiled and patted me, her face a little red.
After dinner, I was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but the doorbell rang unexpectedly. "Who, it's so late. I spread my hands at the little red stall and motioned for her to continue sitting, and I went to open the door.
"Mom?" Outside the door stood my mother, who seemed a little tired and didn't look very good. "Mother Li, why are you here? Xiaohong came over from behind, a little surprised, but still politely asked her mother to sit down in the living room. Mom sat down and cleared her throat, looking a little hesitant. I poured tea and water on the side, wondering in my heart that my mother had come all the way here, and I didn't know what was going on.
"Son, mom came this time mainly because she wanted to discuss something with you. Mom finally spoke.
I nodded: "Mom, what do you say?"
Xiaohong and I looked at each other, and we were both a little surprised. Since we got married, my mom has always disagreed with this family business, but I didn't expect to suddenly change her mind today.
"Mom, what do you want to tell me?" Xiaohong put down the work in her hand and sat down opposite her mother.
My whole body tightened, and I vaguely guessed what my mother was going to say. Isn't the dowry room and the buying and selling room the dowry when Xiaohong and I got married?
"Yes, I agree to your divorce, but Xiaohong needs to return the dowry room. Wouldn't it be nice that there would be one less layer of misunderstanding between you and my mother and son?" Mom said confidently.
"What!" Red and I screamed at the same time. This is also ridiculous, just a few years after getting married, my mother asked for a divorce, and Xiaohong wanted to return the house?
"The relationship may be warm for a while, but it may not be for a long time. I'm thinking about you guys, so I won't have to worry about divorce in the future!" Mom said seriously.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I interjected directly: "Mom, Xiaohong and I won't divorce, you don't have to worry about these haves or not!"
"Son, you are still young, how can you guarantee to be together for the rest of your life?
"Mom!" I raised my voice, "I'm not getting a divorce!
"Li Xiaoli, how do you talk to your mother?" Mom was also directly angry.
In this way, the three of us quarreled in the living room. Mom forcefully demanded a divorce, and Xiaohong cried and objected; And I know my mother's temper very well, and it is difficult for her to change once she has made up her mind.
As the argument intensified, Xiaohong ran back to the bedroom crying and slammed the door. I chased after and knocked on the door, but she wouldn't open it. I was so anxious that I could only continue to reason with my mother.
"Enough!" I really couldn't bear it anymore, "What are you doing checking Xiaohong's background? Does she have a criminal record? If not, don't talk nonsense!"
"Do I still need you to take care of my face?
"Okay, then you choose. It's just that Xiaohong has to return the house, which is a must!"
"You have to be big, why do you have to quit the house?"
"Just treat it as a smooth water on the old face, so that your mother can understand!"
The two of us are like vexatious children, each of us will not give in to each other, and we will quarrel with red faces. At this time, Xiaohong's door opened suddenly, and she dragged the box out.
"Why are you going?" I panicked and hurried in front of her.
"Get out of the way! I don't want this kind of mother's family, let's go!" Xiaohong shook off my hand, tears welling up in her eyes. I looked at Xiaohong, who was in tears in front of me, and I was very distressed. I reached out to wipe her tears, but Xiaohong shook off my hand, didn't speak, and walked out the door on her own.
"Xiaohong, don't be like this! There is a misunderstanding between me and my mother, let's explain it slowly!" I hurriedly chased after her and stopped at her.
"Explain what's the explanation! You also heard your mother's meaning, she didn't agree to us being together!" Little Red roared with red eyes.
"I understand this, my mother is stubborn, but it doesn't mean that I agree to her request. I anxiously explained, "Isn't it more complicated for the two of us to have a problem just like that?"
"What does it matter if it's complicated!" Xiaohong shook me off, "I don't want this home! You choose, it's either your mother or me!"
I stood still, speechless. I know that there is a generation gap between me and my mother, but I can't just break off my relationship with her. Xiaohong's choice is too difficult for me.
"You see, you can't tell. Break up, save us all time!" Xiaohong turned around and left.
I was in a hurry, so I chased after her in three steps and two steps, and hugged her tightly: "Xiaohong, we are really finished when you leave." Please don't do this, calm down, let's go home and have a good talk!"
"Don't talk about it! I'd love to get as far away from you as possible!" Little Red struggled desperately.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault!" I choked up, and tears couldn't help but flow, "Xiaohong, do you just don't believe me like that?"
Xiaohong seemed to have been hit by my words, and her struggle was a little less. I quickly asked, "Do you still love me?" If you don't love me at all, I'll let it go. ”
Xiaohong was stunned, she looked at me with red eyes, and finally nodded slightly.
I was overjoyed and hugged me tighter: "Then don't leave me alone, let's go home and talk slowly, okay?"
Xiaohong nodded silently, tears still flowing from her face. I held her cautiously, for fear that she would regret it and run away.
At this time, my mother also walked out at some point, and she looked at the two of us with a complicated expression.
I raised my hand to interrupt her: "Mom, I respect your opinion, but Xiaohong and I are not child's play. Even if you don't agree, we'll be together. ”
"You!" Mom's face changed.
"So, you might as well save it. I have agreed to divorce Xiaohong, and there is no need to talk about it. As for the rest, we can discuss it slowly. I said word for word.
"What about the dowry room? This is the property that your grandfather left to our family!" Mom doesn't give up.
"I understand that. But after getting married, this house is Xiaohong's. It's okay if she wants to keep me, but if I really mind, I can buy another house for her. I hugged Hong's shoulders.
Mom seemed to want to say something, and I waved my hand: "It's so late today, Mom, don't make any more trouble." I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
After saying that, I put Xiaohong in my arms and walked home. Surprisingly, my mother didn't bother anymore and looked at our backs.
Closing the door, I gently led Xiaohong back to the bedroom and let her lie on the bed. Her mother's affairs made her consume a lot, and Xiaohong was so tired that she fell asleep after a while. I stood by her bedside, distressed and self-reproachful.
This night, I stayed up all night. In the blink of an eye, the sky was bright, and I asked the company for leave, ready to have a good talk with Xiaohong.
The cause of all this is me, I shouldn't have hidden my mother and walked with Xiaohong in private, let alone let my mother suddenly find her home to cause such a situation.
Xiaohong has had enough of being wronged, and I have to find a way to solve this problem and not let her continue to suffer.
"It's past six o'clock, you can sleep again, I was very tired last night. I took her hand.
"Don't mention her. I patted her soothingly, "I'll figure it out, don't worry about it yet." ”
Xiaohong nodded silently and lay down again. I saw her haggard look, and I was very distressed.
I breathed a sigh of relief and talked to my mom at length, and she finally agreed to respect my decision and that of Xiaohong, but hoped that the three of us would sit down and talk. I readily agreed.
It was already past nine o'clock when I turned my head to look at my watch, and it was time for Xiaohong to get up. I pushed the door in with soy milk and buns, and Xiaohong was washing.
"Come out and eat when you wake up. "I'll put it on the table.
Xiaohong' looked at me, a little embarrassed: "That, what did your mother say?"
"I just had a phone call with her, and she agreed to talk again, and her attitude softened a lot. I smiled.
"Really?" Xiaohong was a little surprised, "She's not a person who compromises easily." ”
"I also find it strange. Maybe she figured it out last night. I picked up the bun, "You know, my mother has a stubborn temper, but it is still possible to enlighten her." ”
"I'm here, don't worry. I shook her hand, "Even if Mom doesn't compromise, I'll try to convince her." ”
Xiaohong's eyes turned red again, and she nodded silently.
Two hours later, Xiaohong and I went to my mother's house. My mom had already prepared refreshments and was not in the slightest displeasure to see the two of us, and invited us to sit down and have a slow chat.
This time, my mother's attitude was unusually gentle, and she even apologized directly to Xiaohong. The three of us opened the skylight and spoke brightly, and many misunderstandings were resolved. Xiaohong and I were relieved, and my mother eventually accepted this fact.
My life with Xiaohong gradually got on the right track, and my mother not only took the initiative to accept Xiaohong, but also often called us to care for us, so that I was happy to see them getting along in harmony.
One day, the company organized an outing. While we were playing, Red's phone rang suddenly.
"Hey, Aunt Li?" Xiaohong's face changed suddenly, and she stood up anxiously and walked to the side, "What's the matter?" Uncle Li has an accident?!"
I looked at her suspiciously, only to see Xiaohong covering her mouth and looking panicked. I immediately ran over and put my arm around her shoulder.
"It's okay for you to go back alone, right?" I stood at the airport and asked uncomfortably.
"With my mom and brother here, it's fine. Xiaohong smiled reluctantly, and her eyes were red.
"I understand your family's situation, just tell me if you need anything. I squeezed her hand. In recent years, Xiaohong has rarely mentioned the situation at home, her mother is not in good health, her younger brother is still in college, and the family is financially poor.
On the way home, I had a lot on my mind. Xiaohong's trip may take a while, usually we are inseparable, but now we have to be separated for a long time, I am really a little unaccustomed.
In the past few days, I have been paying close attention to Xiaohong's movements. Her father is in critical condition and needs surgery. In order to raise medical expenses, Xiaohong had to contract multiple part-time jobs. I felt sorry for her for being too tired, and I wanted to call several times to help share the burden, but she only gently advised me to rest at home, and resolutely refused to be helped by me.
"Xiaohong, I understand the situation in your family, and if you really have difficulties, just speak. "I still can't resist proposing on the phone.
"It's okay, my mother and I are used to earning money to support the family, so don't worry about it. Xiaohong's tone was relaxed, but I heard forbearance.
It's hard to get through these days. Finally, Xiaohong's father had surgery and the condition stabilized, and I finally put my mind at ease. A few days later, Xiaohong said that she would extend the vacation and take care of her father at home for a while, so I decided to visit it myself.
In the face of Xiaohong's self-improvement personality, I sincerely want to help her share the burden, even if she refuses to accept my financial assistance, I also want to help her reduce some of the burden of life.
So, I asked the company for half a month's leave and bought a plane ticket to Xiaohong's hometown.
After getting off the plane, I found a hotel, cleaned up briefly, and went straight to the hospital. Pushing open the door of the ward, I saw Xiaohong massaging her father's legs and feet.
"Why are you here?" She looked at me in amazement.
I walked to the bed, said hello to my uncle who was still on the infusion, and then put my arm around Xiaohong's shoulder: "It's too hard for you to be alone, I'll help you share the burden." ”
Xiaohong wanted to say something, but I put my finger against her lips: "Don't push me off anymore, it's really not easy for you to be alone." With me here, you can rely on it a little. ”
Xiaohong bit her lip, finally didn't insist anymore, and nodded silently.
From that day on, I temporarily lived in Xiaohong's hometown. During the day, I would go to the hospital to take care of Xiaohong's father, and at night I would keep vigil in the ward with Xiaohong. My father needed regular rehabilitation after the operation, and at first he needed to be supported, so I often walked around the hospital with my uncle in my arms. With me to share, Xiaohong is obviously a lot easier.
However, just when my father's condition improved and he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Xiaohong's mother suddenly fell ill and we had to send her to the hospital. There was no one to take care of her at home, and Xiaohong, who was a son, could no longer take care of her work.
"Why are there so many things in your family!" Once, Xiaohong was so busy that I couldn't stand it and couldn't help complaining.
Looking at her haggard appearance, my heart was like a knife. That night, I called my boss and decided to continue to accompany Xiaohong through this difficult time.
Fortunately, with the joint efforts of Xiaohong and me, their family's situation has gradually improved. Xiaohong's father was soon discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, and her mother's condition gradually stabilized. I was relieved to return to work, and I would call Xiaohong regularly every night to make sure that everything was okay at home.
