When I went home for the Chinese New Year, my mother asked me to buy her a bracelet of 20,000 yuan, but I didn't give it to my mother-in-law
Returning home for the Chinese New Year is the moment I look forward to the most every year. I will go back to the familiar town, relive the taste of my childhood, and sit around with my relatives and chat with my relatives. However, this time I went home, but it brought me a lot of troubles. My mother asked me to buy her a gold bracelet worth 20,000 yuan, and I couldn't accept it. How can I explain the reason for my refusal to my mother, and I don't want to hurt her feelings? Not to mention, I have to prepare a gift for my mother-in-law, which is too much. I was struggling and didn't know what to do.
Early in the morning, I returned to my parents' house with my luggage. Pushing open the door, the familiar scent came to my face, and my mother was busy in the kitchen. When she saw me returning, she happily greeted me and hugged me tightly.
"My good son, I'm finally back! Mom said excitedly.
"Mom, I miss you so much!" I hugged her tightly, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.
After lunch, my mother pulled me to the bedroom and said, "By the way, son, I want to buy a new bracelet during the Chinese New Year, can you help me see it?" I have a fancy for 20,000 yuan, what do you think?"
Mom was a little disappointed and said, "But I really like that bracelet, it's so beautiful! You see, it's made of pure gold and has several beautiful diamonds." I want to treat myself once in the new year. "
I sighed helplessly, hesitating as to answer. Of course, I also hope that my mother can get her wish, but 20,000 yuan is really a big expense. As a young man who has just started working, I have limited savings and I can't afford such a high cost. How can I explain the reason for my refusal to my mother without hurting her self-esteem and feelings?
Just when I was still struggling, my mother said, "Don't worry, this money won't be all for you." You only need to give half of it, and I'll do the rest myself. "
Hearing this, I was even more at a loss. Of course, I can't ask my mother to pay so much money herself, but I really can't come up with 20,000 yuan. What should I do? If I refuse, my mother will be sad.
"Mom, I really appreciate your kindness. However, you know that I have limited financial conditions now, and I really can't come up with that much money. Look, why don't we find a cheaper one? Or let's pick it up together, and you pay for it, and I'll pay for it?" I cautiously made my own proposal.
Mom was silent for a moment, and the smile on her face faded. I felt guilty for hurting her feelings.
"Son, I know that you have only been working for a long time now, and your economic conditions may not be very good. However, this bracelet is really important to me. I want to treat myself to the new year. If you really can't come up with that much money, then forget it, I'll make it up myself. Mom said disappointedly.
I couldn't go even more. How I wished I could fulfill my mother's wishes, but reality prevented me from doing so. How can I make my mother understand my situation without hurting her feelings?
Just when I was struggling, my mother said again, "By the way, your mother-in-law is coming over soon." You've got to get some kind of gift for her. "
Hearing this, I suddenly became even more annoyed. Not only did I have to buy bracelets for my mother, but I also had to prepare gifts for my mother-in-law, which was a huge expense for me.
I hesitated and said, "Mom, I actually want to give my mother-in-law a good gift." But as you know, I'm not really in a good financial situation right now. You see, why don't we pick a gift for my mother-in-law together? I'll give a part, and you will give a part, so that my mother-in-law will be happy without making my wallet too painful. "
After hearing this, my mother's face suddenly sank. She frowned and said, "You mean, you can't even get the money to buy me a bracelet, but you can buy a gift for your mother-in-law?"
"Mom, don't say that, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to do my best to buy you a bracelet and prepare a gift for my mother-in-law. I really can't come up with that much money. I hurriedly explained.
"Then you give me a reasonable reason, why can you buy a gift for my mother-in-law, but you can't buy me a bracelet?" Mom asked.
I can't argue with that. At this moment, I was in a dilemma. How can I juggle the feelings of my mom and my mother-in-law without hurting their self-esteem?
Faced with my mother's questioning, I was speechless for a while. Of course, I don't want my mother to think I'm biased, but my mother-in-law's gift is also a must. How do I balance this dilemma?
"Mom, I didn't mean to be biased. I just can't really take out 20,000 yuan to buy your bracelet, but I still want to do my best to prepare a decent gift for both you and your mother-in-law. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, and I don't want you or my mother-in-law to feel like I'm being partial to anyone. I explained sincerely.
Mom was silent for a long time, her eyes slightly red. I felt guilty for hurting her feelings. I quickly held my mother's hand and whispered, "Mom, don't be sad. I love you so much and I want to make you happy. It's just that the expenses for going home this time are so great that I really can't afford that much money. Why don't we see if there are any other options that are more suitable?"
Seeing that I was communicating with her sincerely, my mother's expression finally softened. She sighed and said, "I know you're thinking about me too. I shouldn't be so you, after all, your current economic conditions are not very good. Let's go and see if there are other bracelets that are more suitable. "
I was relieved to hear this. It seems that my mother finally understood my situation and stopped insisting on buying such an expensive bracelet. We went to the jewelry store together to pick it up, and finally found a bracelet that cost more than 10,000 yuan, which was both beautiful and generous, and within my affordability.
After solving the problem with my mother's bracelet, we changed the subject and talked about my mother-in-law's gift.
"By the way, what gift did you prepare for your mother-in-law?" Mom asked.
"I haven't decided yet, but I'm trying to buy her a nice dress. You say, will she like it?" I say.
"That's a good idea. My mother-in-law has not been in good health recently, and a comfortable and warm dress is just right. You pick a good texture and fine workmanship for her. Mom nodded.
Hearing my mother say this, I couldn't help but feel a warm heart. My mother-in-law has always taken good care of me, and I naturally want to do my part to give back to her. Still, I was a little worried.
"Mom, I want to buy my mother-in-law a better dress, but you know my current financial situation. What if I buy it too expensive for my mother-in-law, what if I delay the money to buy you a bracelet?" I said cautiously.
Mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, my mother-in-law will definitely understand your situation." As long as you are sincere, she will be happy. Just buy a warm dress for your mother-in-law, it doesn't have to be very expensive. Let's go check it out, and I'll help too. "
Accompanied by our mother, we carefully selected a delicate and generous knitwear together, which was both warm and beautiful. I'm sure my mother-in-law will like it.
Looking at this heart-filled gift in my hand, I can't help but feel that the understanding and support of my family is my most valuable asset. Having such relatives around me who care for me and support me fills me with warmth and security.
The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and my mother and I went to visit my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law hugged me affectionately when she saw me, and asked me about my recent work life. I handed over the knitted sweater I had prepared for her, and my mother-in-law happily accepted it, and praised it again and again: "Oh, this dress is so beautiful! I like this texture the most, you are so considerate of me." "
My mother-in-law said, and she didn't forget to ask me with concern: "By the way, did your mother ask you to buy her any expensive gifts?"
I quickly explained: "Mother-in-law, I do want to buy a beautiful bracelet for my mother when I come back this time, but you also know that my current financial situation is not very good. So we discussed it and finally chose a more suitable bracelet. Don't worry, I will be filial to my parents. "
Hearing this, the mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know that you are a filial child, and your mother must be very happy." However, you have to remember that no matter how old you are, take good care of yourself. What parents want most is for their children to be healthy and happy. "
I hugged my mother-in-law tightly and felt her warm embrace. I feel extremely happy and fulfilled in this family holiday. I will continue to work hard to take care of myself and give peace of mind to my parents and mother-in-law, which is my most important responsibility.
After a hug at my mother-in-law's house, we had a hearty dinner together as a family. During this time, my mother was always concerned about my feelings and kept asking me if there was anything else I needed her help with. I sincerely tell my mother that I am grateful for her understanding and support, and I will continue to work hard and do my best to be filial to my parents.
After dinner, my mother pulled me into the living room and handed me a delicate gift box.
"Son, this is my New Year's gift specially prepared for you, please take it apart and take a look. Mom said expectantly.
I was a little surprised, but I didn't expect my mother to prepare a gift for me. Carefully unpacked, inside is a delicate pair of gem-encrusted cufflinks.
"I know you've been under a lot of pressure at work lately and definitely need to dress up. Although this pair of cufflinks is worth a lot of money, I am sure you will cherish it. Mom said with a smile.
I shook my mother's hand gratefully, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. It turns out that my mother has always been concerned about my life and always thinking about me. As a young person living independently, I can feel the love and support of my loved ones, and I am extremely touched by my heart.
"Mom, you're so nice. I will definitely cherish this gift. You and your mother-in-law have been so good to me, and I am truly blessed. I say from the bottom of my heart.
"Oh, you're our good son! You have to work hard and earn more money to support your family, that's the most important thing. My mother-in-law and I only hope that you are safe and healthy, and nothing else matters. Mom patted me on the shoulder and said.
Hearing my mother's words, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. As a young person, I really should put my work and life arrangements first. Instead of getting too entangled in some material comparisons and disputes. This incident made me realize that family affection and understanding are the most valuable. As long as I have the support of my parents and mother-in-law, I can easily cope with whatever difficulties I face.
While I was deep in thought, my mother handed me another gift box and said, "This is for my mother-in-law, you can help me bring it." "
I took the gift box, walked over to my mother-in-law, and handed it to her: "Mother-in-law, this is my New Year's gift for you with my mother, I hope you will like it." "
The mother-in-law happily accepted the gift and carefully unpacked it. I saw that inside was a delicate silk embroidered shawl, elegant and atmospheric.
"Oh, you are so precious to me for such a beautiful shawl! I like this noble style the most. The mother-in-law praised again and again.
I hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, this is just a little bit of our mind. You've always been so nice to me, and that's a small gift. "
"You're such a sweet child. Of course I do! Your mother is such a nice person, and I am so lucky to have such a son. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Looking at my mother-in-law's joyful expression, I also felt sincerely relieved in my heart. Making my relatives happy is my filial piety. I held my mother-in-law's hand and said sincerely, "Mother-in-law, I will always be filial to you and my mother." Please rest assured that I will continue to work hard to give you peace of mind. "
The mother-in-law nodded, her eyes full of love. She patted the back of my hand and said, "I know, you are a good boy with filial piety. Your mom and dad must be proud of you, too. As long as you're healthy and safe, nothing else matters. "
Hearing my mother-in-law's words, my heart warmed. I sincerely said, "Mother-in-law, the support you and my mother have given me is my greatest asset. With you, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I can face them calmly. I will continue to work hard to give you peace of mind. "
At this moment, my mother came over with a cup of hot tea and handed it to my mother-in-law. She smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?" "
The mother-in-law took the teacup and said gratefully, "We are talking about your good son." He is such a good and filial boy, and we are really lucky. "
After hearing this, my mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, we are really blessed to have such a son." Don't worry, I will always love him. "
Looking at the loving eyes of my mother and mother-in-law, my heart was filled with warmth and gratitude. Although I can't fully meet all the needs of my loved ones, as long as I can get the understanding and support of my family, I feel great satisfaction and happiness. At this moment, I deeply realized that the love and care of my family is my most valuable asset.
In the warmth of sitting in the hug of my family, my heart is filled with an indescribable sense of happiness. It turns out that the company and support of my relatives is my most precious treasure.
Looking at the loving eyes of my mother and mother-in-law, I couldn't help but reach out and hug them. Their warm embrace made me feel the taste of home, and the unconditional love and care made me feel extremely peaceful.
"Mom, mother-in-law, I really appreciate you so much. With you, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I can face them fearlessly. I will continue to work hard to give you all peace of mind. I say sincerely.
My mother gently stroked my hair and said, "My child, you have grown up, and we are also very happy. As long as you can be healthy and happy, and have a successful career, we are the happiest parents. "
My mother-in-law also patted my hand and said with a smile, "Yes, you are the pillar of our family! You have to take good care of yourself, communicate more with your parents, and don't cause us any trouble. "
When I heard the words of my fellow relatives, I was extremely moved in my heart. It turned out that they didn't want me to do anything for them, but wanted me to live a healthy and happy life, which was their greatest wish. I must repay them for their nurturing kindness and give them peace of mind.
Just then, a doorbell rang. When I opened the door, it turned out to be my old friend Xiao Li who came to visit.
"Wow, it's so lively for your family to get together! Happy New Year, uncle and aunt!" Xiao Li greeted warmly.
"Come on, come on, my good friend! You young ones must be hungry, I'll ask my mother to cook some more delicious food. Mom warmly invited Xiao Li.
After a while, my mother brought a table full of food, and Xiao Li praised again and again: "Wow, Auntie, your craftsmanship is really amazing, these dishes are so delicious!"
The three of us young people chatted and laughed while eating, as if we had returned to our school days. Watching us play so well, my mother and mother-in-law also smiled from ear to ear. Such a warm family atmosphere makes me feel happy and satisfied.
After the meal, Xiao Li said goodbye and went home. Before leaving, he said to me, "Brother, you are so lucky to have such loving parents and mother-in-law. I envy you sometimes, too. "
I smiled and said, "yes, I'm really lucky." With them, no matter what I encounter, I am no longer afraid. I will cherish this hard-won family and strive to make myself better. "
Xiao Li patted me on the shoulder and said sincerely, "I know you can do it." Come on, bro!"
Seeing Xiao Li leave, I returned to the living room. I saw my mother and mother-in-law sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing, so unwarm. I walked over and sat down among them, joining in the laughter.
"What are you two talking about, so happy?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, we're talking about you! Look, we are so blessed to have such a filial and considerate son. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
My mother also praised me: "Yes, we just love you too much." You can be so filial, we are both proud of you. "
Hearing the affirmation of my fellow relatives, my heart is filled with warmth and strength. It turned out that with the support and understanding of my family, I could overcome any difficulties. I will continue to work hard to make myself better and shine for my parents and mother-in-law.
"Mom, mother-in-law, I really appreciate your love and support all the time. I will continue to work hard to reassure you and not treat myself badly. Our family is going to be so close forever. I say it sincerely.
My mother and mother-in-law smiled at each other and hugged me tightly. In this way, the three of us relied on each other and cared for each other in a warm family atmosphere.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door outside. I opened the door suspiciously, only to see that it was my old classmate Li Meng.
"Oh, Li Meng, why are you here? Come in and sit!" I hurried out of the way.
Li Meng hurriedly walked in, with an anxious look: "I'm sorry to disturb you." But I'm in such a hurry, I need your help!"
I quickly sat her down and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Don't be nervous, speak slowly. "
Hearing this, my heart tightened. I know that this must be a huge blow to Li Meng. I quickly shook her hand and comforted, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Don't worry about it now, let's figure it out together. "
After saying that, I turned my head to look at my mother and mother-in-law on the side, and their eyes also flashed with concern. I said sincerely: "Mom, mother-in-law, can you help Li Mengjia, they are in urgent need of surgery now." I really can't come up with that much money right now, so I hope you can lend a hand. "
Mom and mother-in-law glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely help Li Meng's family." With us here, you can comfort Li Meng and don't make her sad. "
When I heard the promise of my relatives, I gratefully shook their hands, and tears welled up in my eyes. It turned out that with the support of my family, I was able to overcome any difficulties. This is my most valuable asset and the motivation for my efforts.
