In this season full of family affection, an elderly man is full of anticipation and joy, ready to celebrate an unforgettable birthday for his beloved grandson. However, a scene at the birthday party made his heart drop from the boiling point to the freezing point. What did he go through? Let's uncover this poignant story......
Lieber, 65, was a respected university professor before his retirement. Since the birth of his baby granddaughter, he and his wife have moved into their daughter's house and take care of this little life wholeheartedly. From changing diapers to making complementary food, from sleeping to playing, the two old people did it themselves, just hoping to give their granddaughter a happy childhood.
As her granddaughter grows up, the space at home becomes more and more cramped. So, Li Bo and his wife decided to take their granddaughter back to their hometown in the countryside, where the air was clean and there were large fields and meadows for their granddaughter to play in. The granddaughter had a very happy life in the countryside, running and playing in the fields like an elf every day.
However, happy times are always short-lived. When the granddaughter was three years old, the son-in-law offered to take the child back to the city for kindergarten. Although Li Bo was a little reluctant in his heart, he also understood his son-in-law's decision, after all, the city's educational resources were more abundant.
His granddaughter's birthday is approaching, and Li Bo and his wife decide to go into the city to celebrate their granddaughter. They carefully selected the cake, booked the hotel, and specially prepared a red envelope as a birthday gift. However, a scene at the birthday party made them fall into an ice cave.
At the banquet, the son-in-law and his mother-in-law talked and laughed, but they turned a blind eye to Li Bo and his wife. It was as if they had become superfluous at the banquet and were left out in the cold. Lieber's heart gradually sank, and he felt an unprecedented sense of loss and coldness.
After the banquet, Li Bo and his wife left the hotel silently. On the way home, they recalled the bits and pieces of their granddaughter's growth, and their hearts were full of helplessness and emotion. They have paid so much for their granddaughter, but in exchange for the indifference and neglect of their son-in-law.
It is said that the next generation is close, and the love of grandparents for their grandchildren is even more selfless and deep. However, in this story, we see the indifference and alienation of family affection. Is it true that a son-in-law only treats his parents-in-law as outsiders? Such behavior is really worthy of our deep consideration and reflection.
