"Mom, how are you doing?" On the other end of the phone, his son's concerned voice rang. I smiled and replied, "It's sick, and it's not comfortable anywhere." "
"Then why don't you come to our house for a few months? The son warmly invited.
"Where, you can come with confidence, Xiaofang will definitely serve you well. "
I was touched by my son's warm invitation, but deep down I felt a little uneasy. I am an old man, and my body is weakening every day and night, for fear that my arrival will cause trouble for my son's family of three. But on the other hand, I also hope to spend more time with my children and grandchildren to make up for my daily regrets. After all kinds of entanglement, I finally made up my mind and agreed to my son's invitation.
The suitcase was full of my little care. I picked up an old photo of my son when he was a child, and I had a faint smile on my face. In the photo, he was innocent, and now he is a vigorous young man. My hands were shaking, both as old age and as a sign of excitement. I told myself to refrain so as not to cause trouble to my son's family.
"Mom, you're finally here! My son greeted me warmly.
Daughter-in-law Xiaofang also greeted with a smile: "Mom, we can look forward to you." "
I waved my hand again and again: "I hope you can serve me well, this old bone." "
My son asked me, "Mom, how are you doing?
"If you don't feel comfortable anywhere, it's an old problem. I sighed.
Xiaofang hurriedly comforted: "Mom, if you have me in the future, I will definitely raise you to be healthy!"
As soon as I entered the door of my son's house, I was shocked by what I saw. The neat and clean home, well-organized furnishings, reveals Xiaofang's careful care everywhere. Next to the TV, a neat row of photo frames is full of photos of a family of three, full of happy smiles. I am secretly glad that my son has married such a virtuous and good daughter-in-law, who is worthy of my selection back then.
Xiao Fang personally served me hot tea, and I carefully held the cup for fear of accidentally spilling it. But my hands were shaking so hard that the tea kept splashing on the rim of the cup. Seeing this, Xiaofang hurriedly supported me and told me to drink slowly. I nodded gratefully, relief written all over my face. It's just the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes that call for my age.
I looked around and saw a pot of lush greenery in the corner of the wall, full of life. couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaofang, you are really a virtuous and good daughter-in-law. The son was also full of pride on the side.
Xiaofang smiled and said, "Mom, this is all to make you eat and live well in our house." "
The son also praised his daughter-in-law on the side: "I'll just say, my daughter-in-law is the most capable daughter-in-law in the world!"
Xiao Fang was a little embarrassed by the praise, and her face turned red.
After breakfast, I was a little tired and wanted to take a nap in my room. Xiaofang intimately laid out the futon for me and told me to have a good rest. As I lay on the bed, I felt her thoughtfulness, not to mention how relieved I was. I secretly reflected to myself, did I have a bad impression of Xiaofang before? Although she is not very old, she is very mature and steady, and she is considerate of me as an old man everywhere.
In the afternoon, my son brought his grandson Xiao Ming to see me, the little guy was well-behaved and cute, talking and laughing with me. I happily picked him up and kissed him on his snow-white face. Xiao Ming giggled, and his little hand tugged at my hair and didn't let go. Xiao Fang watched from the sidelines, with a happy smile on her face.
Suddenly, Xiao Ming accidentally spilled the juice in his hand on the floor, Xiao Fang quickly took a rag to wipe it, and while reprimanding the child to be careful, she said to me: "Mom, it's okay, the child is young, this is all trivial." "
I waved my hand again and again, indicating that I didn't mind at all. Looking at Xiaofang's hard work, I had mixed feelings in my heart, I was not only moved by her thoughtfulness, but also a little guilty, and felt that my arrival had caused her a lot of trouble.
At dinner, Xiao Fang prepared sea bass, beef, shrimp and so on for us, and I looked at the greasy dishes on the table, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Kid, you make so many greasy dishes, isn't it okay? "
Xiaofang looked sincere: "Mom, I was just afraid that you wouldn't eat well at home, so I prepared it carefully, you can taste it, it's very good." "
I hesitated, but honestly said, "But at my age, eating too much greasy stuff is not good for my body." "
Seeing this, the son hurriedly played a round: "Mom, you can taste it, Xiaofang has worked hard." "
I had to take a few bites, but I couldn't swallow the greasy taste.
I looked down at the fish on my plate, helpless. I know Xiaofang has good intentions, but she obviously has some cognitive biases about the dietary needs of the elderly. I thought to myself whether I should talk to her about it, but when I thought of her kindness, I felt that I could not speak, for fear that it would break her heart. I was caught in a dilemma.
I mechanically put the fish in my mouth, but the expression on my face became more and more ugly. Seeing this, my son hurriedly asked me where I was uncomfortable. Xiao Fang also noticed it, and hurriedly replaced the dishes in the bowl with light vegetarian dishes. I beat my spirits, said it was no big deal, and continued to eat. But the burden in my heart increased little by little.
I wiped the tears from my eyes, determined to have a good talk with Xiaofang. Just then, my son knocked lightly on the door and came in. He was startled when he saw my crying eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold my arm and asked me with concern what was wrong. I tried to calm my mind and told him everything I was worried about. After hearing this, the son was thoughtful, and then said that he would talk to Xiaofang. I nodded again and again, and finally felt a little relieved.
Xiao Fang looked stunned, obviously didn't expect me to say this. After a long while, she finally spoke, her voice a little choked: "Mom, I'm sorry, I was really confused for a while, and I couldn't think it through for you." Don't worry, I'll make it right in the future. "
I hurriedly comforted her: "Silly boy, I can see all your kindness." I'm an old fool, and I should have told you what I thought earlier. "
Seeing Xiaofang's eyes full of tears, my heart also throbbed. I hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and comforted: "Silly boy, I can see all your kindness. It's my old fool, I should have told you what I thought earlier, so I wouldn't have made you so hard. "
Xiao Fang buried herself in my arms and nodded, obviously moved by my words. I patted her gently on the back, feeling mixed feelings. I was relieved that she finally understood my needs, but at the same time I felt guilty that it was my insolence that broke the child's heart.
I looked at the regained look on this daughter-in-law's face, and I was extremely relieved. I squeezed her hand and said, "With a virtuous daughter-in-law like you, my old age will be worry-free." "
Xiao Fang was a little embarrassed by my praise, lowered her head and said, "Where is it, I still have a lot to learn." With that, she hurried to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
I sat in the living room, savoring the scene. Yes, although Xiaofang is not very old, she is very mature and stable in life and work. Although she had a slight understanding of my needs at first, she did not hesitate to correct it after learning the truth, and this humble and polite character is really valuable. I can't help but sigh that my son's family affair can be described as impressive.
Lunch is a few home-cooked side dishes made by Xiaofang herself, which are light and refreshing, which is just right for my appetite. After eating, I was a little tired, so I went back to my room to take a nap. Lying on the bed, my mind began to empty, and Xiao Fang's figure kept coming to mind.
I think of her youthful and immature when she first arrived, and of her increasingly mature, virtuous and generous appearance. Now that she is completely in charge, she doesn't need me, an old man, to dictate her. I am secretly glad that my old bones can still bring some help to my son's family, and the tribulations of the past have finally ushered in a happy ending.
While I was taking a nap, my son quietly pushed the door in and sat down on the edge of the bed. He patted my hand and whispered, "Mom, Xiaofang has already told me the reason." I'm sorry I was negligent and didn't let her know about your needs earlier. "
I waved my hand again and again: "Silly boy, you are still young, where do you know this." Fortunately, Xiaofang is filial and obedient, otherwise my old bones would have caused you trouble. "
The son smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, with Xiaofang here, we will definitely give you the best retirement life." You can live with peace of mind, and the most important thing is to take care of your body. "
I nodded, and my heart felt warm. With such good children by my side, my old age should be carefree.
After saying that, my son got up and left, leaving me alone in the room to ponder. I looked at the bright moon outside the window, and my heart was full of mixed feelings.
I am secretly glad that although my old bones are covered in bruises, I have finally survived and witnessed the growth and happiness of my children and grandchildren. Without the company of my son's family, I am afraid that my old age will be lonely and bleak.
However, I can't help but feel a little melancholy. After all, I am already old, and my body is weakening every day and night, for fear that one day I will die suddenly, so I left my son's family behind and let them cocoon themselves. Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, and I was filled with the fear of death.
No, I'm going to pull myself together! I told myself. I have to take good care of my health and live to be eighty or ninety years old before I can see my children and grandchildren go well. I wiped tears from my eyes and made up my mind to live well.
Xiaofang was very happy to see this, and said with a smile: "Mom, if you like it, I will make this for you every day in the future." "
I hurriedly waved my hand: "You can't eat too much greasy, just stop in moderation." "
The son joked on the side: "Mom, don't worry, with Xiaofang here, you will definitely not let you eat anything that hurts your body." "
After breakfast, I sat in the living room basking in the sun. Looking out the window at the greenery, I feel very peaceful. I'm glad I made the decision to come to my son's house. Here, you can not only breathe the warmth of home at all times, but also get the care and care of your children and grandchildren at all times.
I think of the "conflict" with Xiaofang yesterday, and I can't help but feel a little emotional. In fact, it was not a big deal, but it made me realize her filial piety even more. Although she is not very old, she is already quite stable in her work. I believe that with such a virtuous daughter-in-law as her, my old age will be carefree.
Just as I was in a daze in the living room, Xiao Fang walked in with hot tea. She placed the tea on the table in front of me and told me to drink it slowly. Then she sat down next to me and asked me softly if I was okay, where was I not feeling well, and I smiled and shook my head, and my heart was extremely warm.
At this moment, his grandson Xiaoming also ran over. He threw himself into my arms and called "Grandma" coquettishly. I happily hugged this cute little guy and kissed and kissed him on the white and tender face. Xiao Fang watched from the sidelines, with a happy smile on her face.
But now, everything is fine. I have a happy old age, with children and grandchildren, and a virtuous daughter-in-law to take care of. Although my life was full of wounds, I finally found the meaning and value of life. I'm secretly glad that I didn't give up in the difficult times, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to witness this scene.
Xiao Ming rolled around in my arms, and I coaxed again and again: "Good, don't make too much trouble, grandma's body can't bear it." "
Seeing this, Xiao Fang hurriedly hugged the child over, and said angrily: "Little guy, you are just too naughty! "
I hurriedly waved my hand to indicate that it was okay. Xiao Fang put the child on the ground, and the little one immediately ran away to play. I looked at his back and smiled.
When my son saw this, he asked me what I was smiling at, and I said, "When I look at my grandson, I'm happy." You were such a naughty kid when you were a kid. "
As I spoke, I pulled out an old photo of my son when he was a child. In the photo, he is innocent, immature and cute. I can't help but sigh with emotion, the years go by, and the child has grown so big in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Fang leaned over to look at it and praised it again and again: "Oh, your son was so cute when he was a child." "
The son was a little embarrassed when he saw this, but he smiled and didn't say anything. I carefully put away the photo, and I had mixed feelings. Yes, life is so short, we have a long way to go.
At this moment, I cherish the happy life in front of me even more. I told myself that I must live longer and spend more time with my children and grandchildren. As long as they are around, my life will always be full of meaning.
