My name is Li Ting, I am an ordinary housewife, and I have a lovely son, Xiaowei, with my husband Xiao Ming. We lived an ordinary but happy life until that day there was a family conflict that shocked me.
It was a cold winter day, and I was busy packing up my New Year's goods at home to prepare for the New Year. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw my husband's mother, my mother-in-law, standing in the doorway. She was carrying a large bag of things in her hand, and her expression was a little displeased.
"Mother-in-law, you're here, come in and sit down. I graciously invited her into the house.
My mother-in-law frowned, ignored my invitation, and walked straight into the living room to place the package on the couch.
I was a little puzzled, I didn't know why she came to visit so suddenly and brought so many things.
"Li Ting, these things were sent to us by your in-laws, you can watch and clean them up. The mother-in-law said with a straight face.
I took the package and opened it to see that it was full of all kinds of New Year's goods, including dried tofu, biscuits, candy, etc., as well as some clothes and daily necessities. It seems that my in-laws specially sent it for the New Year.
I looked at my mother-in-law gratefully and said thank you. But her expression was still cold, as if she had something on her mind.
"Li Ting, why is your family so stingy, and you are not even willing to give this little thing to your son's family. The mother-in-law finally spoke, with a hint of complaint in her tone.
I felt a little aggrieved when I heard it, Xiao Ming and I have always been very filial, and we will give some gifts to my in-laws every New Year's holiday, how can I be stingy?
"Mother-in-law, we are not unfilial, every time we celebrate the New Year, we take the initiative to give gifts. I tried to explain.
My mother-in-law shook her head, as if she didn't believe me. She sighed and said, "Forget it, you guys will be like this, I don't expect you to think much about us." ”
I looked at my mother-in-law's back, feeling a little aggrieved and puzzled. Xiao Ming and I have always been very good to our in-laws, how could we be misunderstood for being stingy? This conflict seems to be caused by a misunderstanding, but I don't know how to solve it.
I decided to find a chance to discuss this matter with Xiao Ming, so when he came back from work, I told him about it.
"Xiao Ming, your mother came over today and said that we are not filial, and we are not even willing to give you New Year's goods. "I told Xiao Ming everything about today's situation.
Xiao Ming frowned after hearing this, obviously very dissatisfied. He said: "It's so unfair for my mother to say this, we prepare gifts for them every Chinese New Year, how can it be misunderstood as unfilial?"
I nodded in agreement. We discussed it and thought that there might be some misunderstanding that would cause my mother-in-law to have such an idea. So I decided to find a suitable time to talk to my mother-in-law.
A few days later, we specially invited my mother-in-law to our house for dinner, and wanted to take the opportunity to communicate with her. At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a little awkward, the mother-in-law ate very little, and her face was not very good.
Xiao Ming and I didn't know where to start, and we were a little nervous. But in the end, Xiao Ming still spoke: "Mom, we want to talk to you about something." ”
My mother-in-law looked at us and nodded for us to continue.
I paused and said, "Mother-in-law, we know that you are very good to us, and you will give us gifts every Chinese New Year, and we are very grateful in our hearts. ”
Xiao Ming continued: "However, we heard that you have been a little unhappy recently, and you feel that we are not filial enough, or even stingy. ”
After hearing this, the expression on her mother-in-law's face was a little complicated, and she was silent for a while before she spoke: "It's not that you don't understand, and it's not easy for me and your father, every time I take the initiative to buy these things for you." ”
I was a little surprised when I heard it, and I always thought that my in-laws had decided it together.
"Mother-in-law, it's not that we don't want to buy these New Year's goods, but we feel that you and your father-in-law are very hard every time, and we can't bear to let you bother. I tried to explain.
My mother-in-law listened to my words and was silent for a while, with a hint of emotion in her eyes. She sighed and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, and it's not easy for you. I won't be too careful in the future. ”
Xiao Ming and I breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this communication was very effective. Conflicts in the family are sometimes caused by poor communication, as long as you have the heart to solve them, you can always find a suitable way.
With the smooth resolution of communication with my mother-in-law, the atmosphere at home has become relaxed and pleasant. Xiao Ming and I are very happy in our hearts, and we feel that this conflict has been satisfactorily resolved.
A few days later, I received a call from my mom saying she was coming to see us. I welcome her, after all, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I have some expectations in my heart.
When my mother arrived, she hugged me and Xiao Ming warmly and said, "Children, it's been a long time, how are you doing?"
I smiled and replied, "Mom, we are doing well, thank you for your concern." ”
Mom looked around with a smile and asked, "How are you preparing for the New Year's goods here?" ”
I took the package from my mother and opened it to see that it was full of all kinds of snacks and snacks that I liked, as well as some hometown specialties.
"Mom, you're so nice, thank you for bringing us so many things. I looked at my mother gratefully.
Mom shook her head with a smile and said, "Child, these are all as they should be, you have worked hard, and Mom is distressed." ”
Xiao Ming and I were so moved that we almost shed tears, this mother's love is really selfless.
Seeing our expressions, Mom smiled and said, "Okay, don't cry, go clean up, I'll make you something delicious in the evening." ”
Xiao Ming and I nodded happily and began to clean up, our hearts full of gratitude and love for our mother. The love and understanding between family members makes us feel extremely happy and warm.
In the evening, my mother made a table of sumptuous dishes, and our family sat around the table and enjoyed ourselves.
"Mom, your cooking is so delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious hometown food for a long time. I picked up a piece of braised pork and complimented.
Mom smiled and said, "Child, you are all so busy outside, come back and eat more to replenish your body." ”
After dinner, our family sat in the living room and chatted, drinking tea and eating the specialties brought by my mother. The atmosphere is warm and pleasant.
My mother suddenly turned her eyes to me and Xiao Ming, and said, "Children, you should love each other well, care for each other, and don't let there be any conflicts at home." ”
Xiao Ming and I glanced at each other, and we both knew in our hearts that the harmony and unity of the family was the most important. We promised our mother that we would continue to cherish each other and run this happy home together.
In the evening, we talked with my mother for a long time, and we didn't rest until late. I lay in bed, my heart was filled with love and gratitude for my family, and I felt that I was truly happy.
The next morning, Xiao Ming and I got up early and prepared a hearty breakfast for my mother. When my mother got up, she saw all kinds of delicious food on the table and smiled from ear to ear.
"Children, you are so sweet, this breakfast is like a feast!" said the mother with emotion.
We smiled and said, "Mom, you've worked hard, enjoy it." ”
Mom ate with relish and kept praising me and Xiao Ming's craftsmanship. We watched our mom enjoy breakfast with satisfaction and felt that all the hard work was worth it.
After breakfast, our family decided to go for a walk in the park and enjoy the weekend leisure. The park was bustling with people, strolling along the grassy paths, sometimes stopping to admire the flowers and plants, and sometimes chatting about family life.
Suddenly, I noticed an old woman in front of me who was struggling to hold a bunch of things and walking very slowly. My heart moved, and I decided to come to her aid.
"Hello, Grandma, do you need help?" I asked.
When the old lady saw me, she smiled gratefully and said, "Little girl, can you help me carry these things to the park bench? I'm a little tired." ”
I hurriedly agreed, and together with my grandmother, I moved her things to the bench, and then sat down next to her and chatted with her.
The grandmother's name is Granny Wang, she is over 80 years old this year, and she lives alone in a nearby community. Today is the weekend, and she wants to go for a walk in the park and buy something to go home.
I was a little moved and thought of my mother-in-law and mother, who are also old and sometimes need our help and care.
"Grandma Wang, do you sometimes feel lonely when you live alone?" I asked curiously.
Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Sometimes it's a little lonely, but I'm used to it." Young people are busy with work and don't have time to spend with me. ”
I felt a little distressed when I heard this, and I felt that I might not have spent much time with my family. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter behind him.
I turned around and saw Xiao Ming and his mother walking over with a smile on their faces. My heart warmed and I felt that I was really happy to have such a family by my side.
Xiao Ming saw me chatting with Grandma Wang, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "Mom, why do you talk to strangers so closely?"
I smiled and explained, "This is Grandma Wang, she came to the park for a walk alone today, and I helped her move some things. ”
Mom nodded and greeted Grandma Wang in a friendly manner: "Hello Grandma Wang, we are Li Ting's family, and we are very happy to meet you here." ”
Grandma Wang also greeted us happily and said, "Your family is very welcoming, what a happy family." ”
We chatted with Grandma Wang for a while, and Grandma Wang also felt a little tired, so she said goodbye and went home. We sent her to the gate of the community, and after Grandma Wang said goodbye to us gratefully, she walked into the community alone.
Back in the park, we continued to enjoy the leisure time of the weekend, and occasionally met acquaintances to say hello, and felt that life was really good.
My mother suddenly remembered something and said to me with a smile: "Li Ting, do you remember what I said last time I came? Your father and I prepared some things for you, but we have always forgotten to bring them." ”
I was a little curious and asked, "What is it?"
Mom smiled mysteriously, took out a big bag of things from her bag, and said, "These are some sausages, bacon and candied fruits that your father and I made with our own hands, all of which are specialties of our hometown, I hope you like them." ”
Xiao Ming and I took the things and looked at my mother gratefully, and our hearts were full of emotion. My mother's love for us is really meticulous, which makes us feel extremely happy and warm.
"Mom, thank you for your hard work. I hugged my mom tightly, and my gratitude was palpable.
Xiao Ming also smiled and said, "Mom, you and Dad are so sweet, we will definitely enjoy these specialties." ”
Mom smiled happily, touched our heads, and said, "Children, you are our dear treasures, and our love for you will never change." ”
Xiao Ming and I are full of happiness and emotion, and we feel that we are really happy to have parents and family members who care for us so much. Family harmony and unity are the most precious treasures, and we will cherish them and always accompany each other to spend every beautiful moment together.
