My name is Uncle Li, I am 66 years old this year, I have been retired for many years, and I have always been a simple ordinary person.
My wife and I have an only daughter, who has been the jewel of the family since she was a child. The daughter has been sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, and she is even more filial when she grows up. She finally got married last year, and my wife and I see this son-in-law as our own son. However, when I first met my son-in-law, I still had some doubts in my heart.
The son-in-law's surname is Zhang, he is tall and big, and his voice is also very loud, giving people a very strong feeling. I was worried at the time that such a big man would not be too rough and not considerate and careful enough for his daughter. However, my daughter said that my son-in-law was very good, which reassured me.
Soon after my daughter got married, she urged us to go to her house for a while. My wife said that it was okay, and I was idle when I retired anyway, so it was better to go to my daughter's house for a while and see what kind of person my son-in-law was.
So one day, we packed some of our bags, got into our daughter's car to pick us up, and started the journey to our daughter's new home.
After arriving at my daughter's house, my son-in-law greeted us warmly and went to the car to pick up our luggage. "Dad, Mom, you're finally here, I'm in a hurry!" The son-in-law said as he let us into the house.
The room was clean, and there were snacks made by his son-in-law on the table. "Mom and Dad, sit down first and rest, you worked the road just now. The son-in-law said and went to make tea.
Although the son-in-law is tall, he is very careful in his work, and he is very respectful and polite to us. Looking at his busy figure, I was secretly glad that my daughter had found such a good son-in-law. Perhaps my previous worries were unfounded.
"Dad, this plate is steamed with sugar, how about you try it?" My son-in-law said, pushing a plate of dim sum in front of me.
"Well, it's good, it's delicious. I nodded in appreciation.
Looking at the delicate plate of dim sum in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh that my son-in-law's craftsmanship was really good. As a big man, he actually makes these exquisite snacks, which shows that he is quite concerned about family affairs.
When my son-in-law saw that I was eating well, he nodded happily. Then he took a cup of fragrant black tea and handed it to me, and his movements were extremely natural and skillful, and he looked like he was doing this at home.
"Dad, you're welcome, just like your own home here. If there is any need, just open your mouth, and if you are not used to it, you can also say it directly. My son-in-law said to me with a smile.
"Well, I'll tell you something. I nodded in agreement.
Listening to my son-in-law's words, my heart also warmed. Although we have only been together for a long time, my son-in-law already has his own understanding of the habits and needs of us old people. His good intentions are touching.
When my son-in-law spoke, his eyes were always very focused on me, and his expression was sincere. From his expression, it can be seen that he respects and understands us seniors from the bottom of his heart.
After these days of getting along, I am simply impressed with my son-in-law. He is not only diligent and capable, but also very respectful and considerate of us elderly. It seems that her daughter's vision is still very good, and she has found such a good son-in-law. As an old man, I am so lucky to have such a son-in-law. I swore to myself right now that I must treat this son-in-law well and treat him as my own son.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?
Seeing that my face was pale, my son-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
I shook my head and swallowed hard to get the words out of my mouth.
An inexplicable pain invaded, and my heart was suddenly enveloped in great panic. When I'm older, my body is really not going well at all, and occasionally I will suddenly have a situation like this. Only this time the symptoms seem to be more severe than usual.
I subconsciously clutched my chest, pain written all over my face. Seeing this, my son-in-law picked up the car keys without saying a word and helped me walk briskly to the garage.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll be at the hospital soon. "
My son-in-law drove with one hand and comforted me with the other.
I nodded painfully, barely able to say the words.
Inside the car, I was getting more and more out of breath and in a cold sweat. My son-in-law must have been frightened by my situation, but he always kept his composure, keeping an eye on the road ahead, for fear of delaying for a minute. With such a capable son-in-law by my side, I was actually not so scared in my heart.
The atmosphere in the car was solemn. My son-in-law's eyes were fixed and focused, and from time to time he reached over and patted me on the back to make me hold on. I leaned back in my seat with all my body weak, and could only nod my head lightly to show that I could hold on.
Soon, the car drove into the gate of the hospital. The son-in-law parked the car with a beautiful brake, and quickly ran into the emergency room and called the nurse. Several nurses lifted me into the ambulance and into the operating room.
Before being wheeled into the operating room, the last thing I saw was my son-in-law's anxious face. Then I fell into a coma.
Although the surgery was successful, I was in the hospital for a full month. After I was discharged from the hospital, I learned from my daughter that during my hospitalization, my son-in-law's parents were both in a car accident and were not lightly injured.
In order to take care of me and support the elderly on both sides, my son-in-law's expenses skyrocketed this month, and the family's financial situation suddenly fell into trouble.
"Son-in-law Zhang, have you been bothered by anything lately?"
One day, I took the initiative to find my son-in-law and asked straight to the point.
"Dad, why do you always say that?"
The son-in-law showed a suspicious look.
"Alright, don't be sloppy with me. Do you think I can't tell your recent depression at my age? What the hell is going on, tell me clearly!"
I kept a straight face and spoke firmly.
Looking at my son-in-law's embarrassed face, my heart was also mixed. Ever since this child took care of me, I have treated him as my own son. Now that I see that he has troubles, I will naturally be like a great enemy, and I am eager to solve them for him.
The son-in-law lowered his head and stopped talking. I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, squeezing his hand firmly with an encouraging look on my face. In the end, my son-in-law still told me the truth of the matter as if he had made up his mind.
The son-in-law's tone was choked, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Silly boy, you are my son, and I should do this for you. The most important thing now is to solve the immediate difficulties first, there are still a long days ahead, you just have to work hard to make money and return my money. "
I patted my son-in-law on the back and said earnestly.
Looking at this big man in front of me, my heart was full of mixed feelings. I used to worry that he was too strong, but now it seems that his heart is so delicate and fragile. Although he works hard, he is immature and needs the guidance and help of the elderly.
When my son-in-law heard my words, he could no longer hold back the gratitude in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes. He hugged me tightly, just like he had attached to my father as a child. As if to soothe my own son, I gently patted him on the back and asked him to unload all the burdens in his heart.
At this moment, my son-in-law is like a childish child, and my heart can't help but surge with heartfelt love. How fortunate I am to have such a good son-in-law!
Since that incident, the son-in-law has worked harder and finally overcome the family's financial difficulties. Soon, he was reused within the company with his abilities, and his salary also increased.
One day, my son-in-law came to me and solemnly returned all the money I had lent him before, and also gave me a large bouquet of flowers to express his gratitude. When I looked at my son-in-law, I felt a sense of accomplishment in my heart.
In the past, the biggest concern of my old couple was whether my daughter could marry a good family in the future. Now it seems that the daughter has picked up the treasure and found such a good son-in-law who is dedicated to her heart.
This incident also gave me a new understanding of family affection. Family affection is not only the love of family members whose blood is thicker than water, but also a spiritual bond of mutual support and care.
Although my son-in-law is not my biological son, he is considerate and filial to me, but he is far more indifferent to my parents than some sons. From this point of view, he is even more "dear" than my own son.
The quality of family affection is higher than the bond of blood. As long as you treat it with care, everyone can become your dearest person. I think that's one of the greatest joys in life.
"Dad, you've been in our house for so long, you must take care of your health. "
My son-in-law brought me a bowl of nourishing soup and instructed me earnestly.
"Don't worry, with a filial child like you by your side, my old bones are still very tenacious!"
I smiled heartily, picked up the spoon and took a big sip to show that my body was fine.
Savoring the taste of this bowl of soup, I felt my son-in-law's full filial piety. In addition to all kinds of nourishing herbs in this soup, you can also taste the son-in-law's ardent care for our elderly. Every time I think of this, my heart is warm, as if the whole person has been welcomed into the warm spring light.
When my son-in-law saw that I was drinking well, he clapped his hands happily. Then he carefully covered me with the quilt and turned up the temperature of the stove a little. I watched my son-in-law's every move and couldn't help but be touched by his thoughtfulness. This kid cares about every little detail of our old man.
"Mom, how are you doing today?
Just then, my daughter walked in and asked me about my physical condition.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my legs and feet are a little sleepy, you can help me beat my back. "
I told my daughter bluntly.
"Okay Mom, you just lie down, and I'll give you a beating on the back. "
As she spoke, her daughter started to help me knead my back.
Watching my daughter's skillful movements, my heart was relieved. This child has been very sensible since he was a child, and when he grows up, he is even more virtuous and capable, and he knows everything about the family's affairs. With such a virtuous helper by his side, the son-in-law's life must be happy and happy.
While beating my back, my daughter didn't forget to ask for warmth, for fear that I would feel a little uncomfortable somewhere. She is considerate and caring, just like her son-in-law. Watching my daughter's skillful every move, I couldn't help but sigh that she had grown into a very skillful housewife.
In this way, three generations of our family have lived together harmoniously. The son-in-law is busy with housework, and the daughter is considerate of our elderly. And my wife and I are also happy and carefree, concentrating on enjoying the filial piety of our children and grandchildren.
Sometimes, my son-in-law would take the time to play chess and cards with our old man. My daughter will make us some nutritious soup. The atmosphere at home is peaceful and warm, and even the air in the house seems to be filled with happiness.
I often sit in the courtyard and look at my son-in-law and daughter from afar. Looking at their backs, I feel at ease. My wish finally came true, my daughter found a good man who was considerate of her, and I, a father, finally found a good son-in-law who was filial.
As a later life in my life, I really can't ask for such a family environment. The children and their husbands and wives are harmonious, the three generations are happy, and the life is enjoyable, which is the greatest expectation and pursuit of our elderly.
My son-in-law's filial care for me gave me unprecedented warmth in my old age. And my daughter's virtuous and capable daughter made me completely let go of the worries in my heart. With their filial sons and daughters by my side, my life in my later years is like a fire in winter, making my heart always warm as spring.
Although the last few years of my life are destined to be dying, as long as I am accompanied by the filial piety of my children and grandchildren, I believe that I will be able to enjoy my old age in peace and happiness. The companionship and love of family members is the greatest comfort for our elderly and our last sustenance. With these, we have no regrets about fulfilling the last long-cherished wish of life.
