The morning in the countryside is so quiet and peaceful. I pushed the door open, and a fresh, earthy smell came over me. The sycamore trees in the courtyard swayed slightly in the morning breeze, and the old well under the trees glittered in the morning sun. I took a deep breath and felt the tranquility of the countryside.
My name is Liu Yuzhen, and I have five out of sixty this year. Since my son Liu Dawei worked in the city, I have lived in this small courtyard with my daughter-in-law Wu Jia. Seeing that Jiajia's young and lively little girl in the past has gradually grown into what she is now. It's a pity that her behavior always breaks my heart.
"Mom, you woke up so early. Jiajia yawned and came out of the room, her hair shaggy and messy, and her eyes half-open and half-closed.
"If you hadn't woken up too late every day, I wouldn't have gotten up so early to do housework. I smiled and said, "Straighten your hair, have breakfast, and go back to sleep." "
Jiajia nodded, but still didn't mean to freshen up. I had to get to work on my own.
After a period of tidying up the house, Jiajia finally came out. She glanced at the floor I had just cleaned, frowning.
"Mom, your work is too rough, and there is dust everywhere on the ground. She said disgustedly.
"I've done my best with this old bone. I explained with some reluctance.
"Do your best? I'm going to hate you if I do this again. Jiajia reprimanded.
I choked on her words, and I felt very uncomfortable. Ever since Jiajia married into our family, I have always loved her as if she were my own daughter. But she always turned a blind eye to my hard work, and scolded me for not doing a good job enough. I'm so heartbroken.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Mom, I'm going to clean it up all over again. I forced a smile on my face, for fear that she would be really angry.
Jiajia pursed her lips, sat down to the side and began to swipe her phone. I had to take out my broom again and remove every speck of dust from the ground. It's a thankless effort.
Soon, I made a table of specialty dishes. Stir-fried vegetables, braised pork, home-style tofu, you name it. I cook it according to the taste that Jia Jia loves to eat.
"The dish is cooked, come and eat it. "I greeted Jiajia happily.
Jiajia put down her phone and glanced at the dishes on the table, and the expression on her face immediately became impatient.
"Mom, these dishes you make are so greasy, I can't even eat them anymore. She said disgustedly.
"I'm making it to your favorite taste. I explained.
"At this level, you can also say that you love to eat? Jiajia sneered.
My heart was pierced deeply again. I'm a mediocre cook, but I've done my best to cater to her tastes. But she always criticized my craftsmanship and didn't appreciate it at all. My good intentions were in vain, and her words became more and more hurtful.
In this way, there are more and more conflicts between me and Jiajia, and her attitude towards me is becoming more and more arrogant and unreasonable. I deeply felt that my filial piety was ignored by her and made things difficult in every way. But she is my daughter-in-law after all, and I can't really fight with her. I can only swallow my anger secretly and continue to endure like this.
In order to show this grand event for my son and daughter-in-law, I was busy and almost day and night. I hope that by pleasing Jiajia this time, she may change her attitude towards me.
However, Jiajia's reaction was beyond my expectations. When I had carefully arranged the festive scene, she turned a blind eye to my intentions and criticized my arrangement.
"Mom, your mess is not at all beautiful. She said disdainfully.
"I'm also here to give you a happy event. I reluctantly explained.
"Do you have this level? It's a shame to not do anything!" Jiajia scolded.
Her words were like a hammer that struck me hard at the heart. I have done my best to please her. But she treated me like a servant, turned a blind eye to my filial piety, and made things difficult in every way.
At this moment, I finally realized that if I continued to endure like this, it would only make Jiajia even more arrogant and selfish. I had to speak up and teach her a hard lesson once to get her to mend her ways.
"Jiajia, Mom has done her best to serve you, but you always turn a blind eye to Mom's filial piety. If you dislike Mom like this again, Mom will have to stop staying here and cause you trouble. I said.
Jiajia was shocked by my words, and was stunned and didn't know how to answer. I realized that I had really put my mind down.
"Mom, I know it's wrong, can you forgive me? She said sincerely.
I sighed and stepped forward to hug her: "Jiajia, Mom has never asked you to be so filial, but at least you should respect Mom's heart to work hard for you." "
After this painful lesson, Jiajia finally began to reflect on her words and deeds towards me. She deliberately learned the traditional virtues of harmony between husband and wife, respect for the old and love for the young.
Once, Jiajia offered to accompany me to the town market to buy daily necessities. Along the way, she held me intimately, for fear that I would fall. When I came back, she took the initiative to wash my feet and rub my sore calves.
"Mom, from now on, I will be filial to you, you can rest assured. Jiajia said sincerely.
I was deeply touched by her words and actions. Looking at her filial piety, my heart is extremely gratified. I know that Jiajia finally realized the truth of being a person.
I also realized my own shortcomings in this lesson. As an elder, I really indulged Jiajia too much, allowing her to develop wrong values. From now on, I will use more love and patience to guide her and resolve her willfulness.
In this way, the relationship between the family began to move towards harmony. Jiajia has learned to respect the old and love the young; And I have learned to guide young people with love. There is more mutual understanding and consideration between us. The family is happy and lives a happy life.
As the sun sets, the twilight thickens. I sat in the courtyard and watched the green leaves of the plane trees shine in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Jiajia came out of the house and brought me a cup of warm brown sugar ginger tea. She thoughtfully put on a thin blanket for me, and said warmly, "Mom, it's cold, you can wear more." "
"yes, I see. I smiled and nodded, grateful in my heart.
In the past, Jiajia was so willful, but now she is a considerate and good daughter-in-law. I'm glad that my mother and daughter have finally come this far.
Perhaps, this is the most beautiful mother-daughter friendship in the world. We will love and cherish each other as always until the last moment of life.
I'm inspired by Jiajia's changes, and I'm constantly reflecting on what I'm doing. As elders, we should not always be strict with our juniors, but guide them with more love and patience.
Once, I saw Jiajia worrying about the clutter at home. I stepped forward and took her hand and said gently, "Jiajia, Mom is old, and some things can't be done well, so you have to bear with me." If there is anything you don't understand in the future, just ask your mother. "
Jiajia nodded, a look of gratitude in her eyes. Since then, if she encounters any problems, she will humbly ask me for advice first. And I will answer her patiently and meticulously, step by step.
Gradually, Jiajia became familiar with housework. She would take the initiative to clean and do the housework, and she would take care of my daily life with great care. Once, I accidentally sprained my ankle, so Jiajia hurriedly used an ice pack to cool me and made a pot of old bone soup for me with her own hands.
"Mom, you can rest at home, if you need anything, just tell me. Jiajia said, holding my hand.
Looking at her peaceful eyes, my heart was indescribably gratified. My daughter-in-law has finally grown up and learned not only to respect her elders, but also to be considerate of others.
In order to organize this grand event for my son and daughter-in-law, I was busy and worked day and night. This time, Jiajia also took the initiative to join me and carefully arranged the festive scene with me.
When everything was ready, Jiajia suddenly grabbed me and said affectionately: "Mom, this time I did it myself, you old man should have a good rest." "
I was deeply touched by her thoughtfulness and nodded my head again and again. Looking at Jiajia's diligent and busy figure, I can't mention how relieved I am. In the past, she was so willful and reckless, but now she is a considerate and dedicated daughter-in-law.
Just when I sincerely sighed at Jiajia's change, my son Liu Dawei also returned. Seeing the intimate scene of our mother and daughter, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Mom, Jiajia, you can be regarded as harmonious! I used to blame myself when I was outside, and I didn't have time to discipline Jiajia at home. I didn't expect you to finally untie the knot, it's great!" David said, tears welling up in his eyes.
I hurriedly hugged my son, patted him on the back and comforted: "Silly son, it's all right, don't blame yourself." Mom and Jiajia are already as close as biological mother and daughter. You can rest assured, there is Jiajia here, and my mother and I will have a care when we are old. "
Dawei nodded, and also took the initiative to hug Jiajia, and said earnestly: "Jiajia, you will be filial to your mother, how happy our little family will be in the future!"
Jiajia answered, but the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. I know that she is grateful to our family for finally resolving the knot in our hearts and getting to where we are today.
In this way, the relationship between our family became extremely harmonious. Jiajia has learned to respect her elders and be considerate of others; And I have also learned to guide young people with more love. There is more mutual understanding and consideration between us.
One year, during the Spring Festival, I prepared a newly made cheongsam for Jiajia. The moment Jiajia put it on, her eyes sparkled with happiness.
"Mom, this cheongsam is so beautiful! it must have been sewn for me by yourself, right?" Jiajia said happily.
The morning sun rose again, illuminating every corner of our small courtyard. The sycamore trees swayed slightly in the wind, making a crisp rustling sound.
I pushed open the door and breathed deeply in the fresh morning air. I heard the sound of roosters crowing in the distance, and I knew that another new day had begun.
At this time, Jiajia came out of the house with a bowl of hot porridge that had just been boiled. She carefully brought the porridge to me, and said warmly, "Mom, it's cold, let's drink some hot porridge to warm up your body." "
I picked up the bowl of porridge and savored it. The fragrant aroma of porridge mixed with the earthy smell of the early morning filled my nose. I closed my eyes with a happy smile on my face.
As time went on, my relationship with Jiajia became more and more intimate. We are like a mother and daughter family, loving each other and understanding each other.
One year, during the Spring Festival, I prepared a brand new cheongsam for Jiajia. The moment Jiajia put it on, her eyes sparkled with happiness.
"Mom, this cheongsam is so beautiful! It must have been sewn for me by yourself, right?" Jiajia said happily.
I nodded, struck by her joy and smiled with relief. Since then, whenever Jiajia goes out, she will give priority to wearing that cheongsam. And every time I see her wearing it, I am overwhelmed by the feeling of happiness.
This cheongsam is not just an ordinary piece of clothing, it carries my filial piety to Jiajia. And Jiajia also used her filial piety to turn this heart into the most beautiful return.
During the Spring Festival of that year, Dawei took Jiajia and the child in his arms, and the family of three returned to our small courtyard. Seeing their happy appearance, my heart is indescribably gratified.
Since then, Jiajia has not only been filial to my mother-in-law, but also considerate and dedicated to Dawei. She would take care of Dawei's daily life and prepare delicious meals for him. Sometimes David came back late from overtime, and she always waited at the door to serve him a bowl of hot supper.
Dawei often said to me: "Mom, Jiajia is really a good daughter-in-law who is hard to find! With her in our lives, we have nothing to worry about." "
Every time I hear that, I feel extremely relieved. Looking at the appearance of my son and Jiajia loving each other, I, as a mother, finally let go of a big stone in my heart.
"Mom, you old man should rest at home, if you need anything, just tell us. Jiajia said to me intimately.
Dawei also immediately agreed with Jiajia's opinion: "Yes, Mom, you can wait for the good news at home with peace of mind." With me and Jiajia here, we will definitely take care of everything at home. "
Looking at the two of them being attentive and considerate, my heart is indescribably gratified. In the past, Jiajia was so willful and reckless, but now she has learned how to be filial to her in-laws and considerate of her husband. I couldn't be prouder of her change.
In this way, under the careful care of my son and Jiajia, I lived a carefree old age. They would prepare nutritious meals for me and take care of my daily life. Whenever I got sick, they would stay by my side and make me soup and medicine.
One spring, I accidentally caught a cold. Jiajia personally boiled a pot of old bone soup for me and took care of my diet and daily life.
"Mom, you can rest at home, and if you need anything, just tell me. Jiajia said intimately.
I nodded, grateful. Yes, with a good daughter-in-law like Jiajia who is filial and virtuous, even if my old bones are sick, they don't need to work hard, and they can recuperate.
Looking at Jiajia, who was holding the child tightly in her arms, my eyes were full of tears of happiness. At this moment, how I wish that time had stopped and that I had been immersed in this happiness forever.
Soon, Dawei also returned to our small courtyard with the child in his arms. He burst into tears and hugged me tightly.
"Mom, you gave us this happiness! With this child, our family is even happier. David said.
I hugged him so hard that tears welled up in my eyes. Yes, with this lovely grandson, our family's life is even more complete and happy.
Since then, Jiajia has focused most of her energy on taking care of her children. She will carefully bathe and breastfeed the child, and in the dead of night, she will softly hum a lullaby to lull the child to sleep.
Once, during the night, the child suddenly woke up crying. I was about to get up, but Jiajia hurriedly stopped me.
"Mom, you old man should have a good rest, I'm here. As she spoke, she picked up the child and coaxed him softly.
I was deeply touched by her thoughtfulness. Yes, Jiajia is already a virtuous and capable mother, and I, as a grandmother, should have a good rest and hand over the burden of the family to her.
In this way, under the careful care of Jiajia and Dawei, I lived a carefree old age. The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, the child grew up.
One year, during the Spring Festival, Dawei took his adult children and a family of three back to our small courtyard. Seeing their happy appearance, my heart is indescribably gratified.
"Mom, with your piercing iron tree, we can have this happy life today!" David said, tears welling up in his eyes.
I hurriedly hugged the family of three, tears rolling in my eyes. I know that in the days to come, our family will be able to love each other and be happy and healthy.
