My name is Wang Qin, and I am 60 years old this year. My family lives in a small town on the outskirts of Beijing, and I live with my daughter Xiaowen, son-in-law Xiaogang, and their son Xiaoliang. I have a son named Xiao Ming, but he left us in a car accident five years ago.
After my mother-in-law died, I lived with my daughter's family. I love this town, and every morning, I get up and take a walk, walk down the creek to the park, and watch the lake flow, which is very pleasant. Although I am over the age of six, my body is strong and my mentality has always been very young.
The story begins eight years ago. At that time, my daughter Xiaowen and daughter-in-law Xiaofang were both pregnant, and they both gave birth to a son on the same day. I happily became a grandmother twice. When Xiaowen's son Xiaoliang was born, I happened to be waiting outside the delivery room, and when I heard the cry of the child, my heart was filled with joy. The daughter-in-law Xiaofang gave birth relatively smoothly, and the family held a small banquet to celebrate this joyful moment.
"Mom, look, my little baby looks so good!" Xiaowen held the photo of Xiaoliang in her mobile phone and smiled from ear to ear.
"Yes, Xiao Liang is such a cute child. I also smiled and complimented.
"Xiaofang, your child is too well-behaved, he didn't cry at all when he was born. I smiled at Xiaofang and complimented.
"Yes, our baby is sensible. Xiao Fang replied with a smile.
At that time, the family was very lively, I was busy taking care of my two children, Xiaowen and Xiaofang were also recuperating, and Xiaogang was busy going to work to support the family. We were reunited as a family, and life was full of laughter.
However, the happy life did not last long, because as soon as Xiaowen and Xiaofang's confinement ended, there was a conflict in the family.
"How can you do this?!" I heard Xiaowen ask Xiaofang loudly in the kitchen.
"I'm not wrong, look at this crib, it's obvious that your Xiaoliang made it dirty, I just changed the sheets for him. Xiao Fang's voice sounded a little aggrieved.
I walked into the kitchen and saw Xiaowen holding the baby sheet and said angrily: "Xiaofang, how can you change Xiaoliang's bed sheet at every turn? Aren't our things worthwhile? Besides, you don't have to be so fierce, Xiaoliang is still young, and he doesn't understand." ”
"I didn't expect you to be so angry, I just changed it when I thought it was dirty. Xiao Fang's voice sounded a little aggrieved.
"You two stop arguing and talk well. I persuaded the two of them.
"Mom, you see, she's like this, she knows all day long that she is used to Xiaoliang, and it's different for my children!" Xiaowen complained.
"I didn't do anything to Xiao Liang, he is my son!" Xiao Fang was not to be outdone.
I felt very embarrassed, I thought that the two families lived in harmony, but I didn't expect such conflicts to occur in life. I was thinking about how to solve this problem and bring harmony back to my home.
I gave them some reassurance, hoping that they would understand each other and continue to live in harmony. However, the quarrel does not seem to end there.
"Mom, don't persuade me, I'm very uncomfortable. Xiaowen said with a frown.
"I don't want to quarrel either, but she always does that to me. Xiao Fang complained.
I sighed and felt a wave of weakness. Eight years ago, when Xiaowen and Xiaofang were confined at the same time, I thought that such a situation would bring more happiness, but who knew that I fell into such a contradiction.
"You are all my beloved daughters, and I don't want to see you fall out over such trivial matters. I said in a slightly choked voice.
Xiaowen and Xiaofang looked at me and seemed to feel a trace of heartache.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have quarreled with Xiaofang. Xiaowen put down the chopsticks in her hand, walked over and hugged me and said.
"Mom, I'm sorry too, I shouldn't be angry with Xiaowen. Xiao Fang also came over and lowered her head and said.
I touched their heads, feeling a little comforted.
"Okay, let the past pass, and our family will be more united in the future. I tried to calm my tone.
"Yes, we're going to get along. Xiaowen and Xiaofang said almost at the same time.
So, I sat down with my daughters and communicated with each other's thoughts and feelings. Xiaowen put forward her expectations for her children, hoping that I can take more care of Xiaoliang, and Xiaofang said that she also wants to treat Xiaoliang as her own child, but sometimes there may be differences in some details.
"Mom, can I bring Xiaoliang to live in my house for a while?" Xiaowen asked hesitantly.
"Why?" I was a little surprised.
"I think Xiao Liang and Xiao Ming can play together, maybe they will be happier. Xiaowen explained.
I thought about it and thought it seemed like a good suggestion.
"Okay, you've discussed it and decided on a specific time, and I can send Xiao Liang over. I agreed.
"Really mom, that's great!" Xiaowen hugged me happily.
"Thank you, Mom!" Xiao Fang also smiled.
I looked at their smiling faces, and my heart warmed.
Later, Xiaowen discussed with Xiaofang and decided to let Xiaoliang live with me for a while first, and then go to Xiaowen's house when he was older. During this time, Xiao Liang lived very happily with me, and Xiao Ming also became playmates, I played with them, studied together, and lived a full and happy life.
Slowly, Xiao Liang grew up with me, he learned to walk and talk, and I became his "grandmother". And Xiaowen's family has become much quieter because of the loss of a child, and she and Xiaofang have gradually regained their previous tacit understanding.
"Mom, I think Xiaoliang should be very happy with you, right?" Xiaowen said to me one day.
"yes, he's happy here and I love being with him. I replied with a smile.
"Well, we'll take him back in no hurry and wait until he's older. Xiaowen decided.
I nodded, thinking it was a good decision. In this way, I will have more time to be with Xiaoliang.
However, it was during these quiet days that an unexpected thing happened. It was a weekend morning, and I had just returned from the market and was getting ready to prepare breakfast.
"Grandma, grandma!" Xiao Ming ran over excitedly.
“怎么了，小明？”我问道。
"Someone is looking for you outside!" Xiao Ming said, pointing to the door.
When I walked to the door, it turned out to be Xiaowen's mother-in-law, a slightly older middle-aged woman, who looked a little anxious.
"Hello Xiaowen's mother-in-law, what's wrong?" I asked politely.
"Aunt Wang, I came to you to discuss something. Xiaowen's mother-in-law said.
"Please come in, please come in. "I warmly invited her into the house.
Xiaowen's mother-in-law entered the door and sat on the sofa with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Aunt Wang, Xiaowen's father and I are going to go abroad recently and stay there for a while. She spoke.
"Oh, yes? That's what's going on
Is there anything I need help with?" I asked.
"That's right, we plan to take Xiaoliang back to our house and let him go abroad with us. Xiaowen's mother-in-law explained.
When I listened, my heart fluctuated. This is my grandson who has been raised for eight years, and suddenly he is about to be picked up, and I am a little reluctant.
"So, Xiaoliang's matter, have you already discussed it?" I asked tentatively.
"Yes, we have already discussed it, and we have also talked to Xiaoliang, and he agreed. Xiaowen's mother-in-law said.
I was silent for a moment, feeling a little lost in my heart, but after thinking about it, this is also a matter of course, Xiaoliang is their child after all.
"Okay, so what do you want to arrange?" I tried to keep my composure.
"We're going to pick up Xiaoliang back today, and then we'll leave tomorrow. Xiaowen's mother-in-law said.
I nodded, feeling a little sad, but I still had to accept the fact.
"Okay, then I'll go pack Xiaoliang's luggage. I stood up and prepared to go to Xiaoliang's room.
I entered Xiaoliang's room and saw that he was playing with toys, and my heart was a little sour. I walked over and patted him lightly on the head.
"Xiaoliang, grandma wants to talk to you about something. I crouched down and talked to him.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Liang stopped the toy in his hand and looked at me curiously.
"Your grandparents are going abroad for a while, and they want to take you with them. I tried to say it in a gentle tone.
"Oh, am I leaving Grandma?" asked Xiao Liang with some frustration.
"Yes, you're going to live with your mom and dad. I gently stroked his hair.
Xiao Liang was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at me.
"Grandma, I'll miss you. Xiao Liang hugged me tightly.
My tears almost flowed out, I hugged Xiaoliang, my heart was full of reluctance.
"Xiaoliang, you have to listen to your parents and be a good boy obediently. I whispered to him.
"I see, Grandma. Xiao Liang wiped his tears and said with a firm face.
Xiaoliang and I packed our bags and sent them to the door. Xiaowen's mother-in-law comforted Xiaoliang and told me not to be too upset.
"Aunt Wang, don't be too sad, we will take care of Xiaoliang. Xiaowen's mother-in-law said.
"Thank you for a nice trip. "I bid them farewell with tears in my eyes.
When they were gone, I stood alone in the doorway, feeling empty and feeling like something was missing. I don't know what else I can do, so I can only silently bear this loss and reluctance.
This day was an extremely heavy day for me. I silently returned to the house, sitting alone on the couch, tears streaming down my face.
I sat silently on the couch, tears streaming down my face. I felt like the whole room was empty, as if there was a lack of warmth. For eight years, Xiao Liang has accompanied me and given me endless joy and joy, and now that he is leaving, my heart is empty, and I don't know what to do for a while.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ming walked over and looked at the tears in my eyes, a little puzzled.
"Nothing, grandma is just a little sad. I forced a smile.
"Why?" asked Xiao Ming curiously.
"Xiao Liang is going to go abroad with his parents. I whispered.
"So, when are they coming back?" asked Xiao Ming.
"It could be a long, long time. I stroked Xiao Ming's hair.
Xiao Ming was silent for a moment, then hugged me and said, "Grandma, don't be sad, Xiao Ming will accompany you." ”
I looked at Xiao Ming with emotion, and a warmth welled up in my heart. Perhaps, I still have Xiao Ming by my side, and I am not alone.
"Thank you, Xiao Ming. I patted him lightly on the back.
In the days that followed, I tried to keep myself busy and not think about the sad things. I often cook with Xiao Ming, watch TV together, and play in the yard together, and he has become one of the great joys of my life.
Time flies, months have passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, I was pruning flowers and plants in the garden when I suddenly heard the doorbell ringing.
"Grandma, there's a knock on the door!" Xiao Ming ran to tell me.
I wiped my hands, walked into the house, and opened the door, only to see a familiar figure standing in the doorway.
"Xiaofang, Xiaowen, why are you here?" I asked, a little surprised.
"Grandma, we're coming to see you!" Xiaofang said with a smile.
"yes, we miss you. Xiaowen also said with a smile.
I felt a wave of warmth welling up in my heart, and I didn't expect them to come to see me out of the blue.
"Come in, come in and sit down. "I warmly invited them.
Xiaowen and Xiaofang entered the house, looking at everything in the house, they said with some emotion: "Grandma, are you okay here alone?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I have Xiao Ming with me. I laughed.
"Xiao Ming, come over and give my sisters and mothers a salute. Xiaowen said to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming listened, walked over obediently, and saluted Xiaowen and Xiaofang.
"Xiao Ming, you've grown up a lot!" Xiaowen said, taking Xiao Ming's hand.
"yes, he's been doing really well in school lately. I said proudly.
Our family sat around the living room and chatted about family life. Xiaowen and Xiaofang told me that their trip was over and that Xiaoliang was happy to go to school abroad.
"Mom, we came to see you to discuss something with you. Xiaowen said.
"What's the matter?" I asked curiously.
"We want to take Xiao Ming to our house for a while, so that you won't be too lonely alone. Xiao Fang explained.
When I heard this, I was moved. They were so considerate.
"That'...... Xiao Ming, would you like to go?" I asked.
"Yes, I can go and see Brother Xiao Liang!" Xiao Ming said happily.
I looked at his smiling face and was filled with gratitude. That way, I won't be too lonely.
"Okay, then you have discussed it and decided on a specific time, and I can send Xiao Ming over. "I readily agreed.
"Great, thank you, grandma!" Xiaowen and Xiaofang said almost at the same time.
So, Xiaowen discussed with Xiao Fang and decided to let Xiao Ming stay with me for a while first, and then go to their house when he was older. During this time, Xiao Ming has been very happy with me, and I also feel fulfilled and happy.
"Grandma, I'm happy!" Xiao Ming said one night.
"I'm also happy to have you by my side. "I hugged him tenderly.
During this time, Xiao Ming and I have spent many wonderful times together. Whenever I see his innocent smile, my heart is filled with happiness.
In the days that followed, my life with Xiao Ming became even closer. We cooked, watched TV, read books, and sometimes went out for a walk. Xiao Ming also did well in school, and I feel really blessed to have such a sensible and well-behaved grandson.
However, the good days always go by exceptionally. Before you know it, it's already passed
I went for a few months, and one night, I was watching TV in the living room, but Xiao Ming was sitting on the side and playing with the toys in his hand with some anxiety.
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious?" I asked.
"Grandma, I'm a little homesick. Xiao Ming said in a low voice.
"Oh, yes? If you miss home, just tell your grandma, and we'll talk about it. I comforted him.
Xiao Ming raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes: "I seem to be Brother Xiao Liang, I miss him so much." ”
I looked at Xiao Ming's pitiful appearance, and I felt a little unbearable.
"Xiao Ming, you don't have to worry, you will be able to meet Brother Xiao Liang soon. I patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Really?" Xiao Ming's eyes lit up.
"Of course, when do you want to go?" I asked.
"Let's go tomorrow!" Xiao Ming said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow. I agreed.
Early the next morning, I took Xiao Ming to Xiaowen's house. As soon as she arrived at the door, Xiaowen happily greeted her.
"Mom, you're here!" Xiaowen said with a smile.
"Yes, Xiao Ming misses Xiao Liang, so I brought him here. I laughed.
"Xiao Ming, you're here!" Xiao Liang ran over happily when he saw Xiao Ming.
"Brother Xiao Liang!" Xiao Ming also rushed over excitedly.
The two children were laughing and playing together, and I looked at them with a sense of relief.
"Mother Wang, sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea. Xiaowen warmly invited me to sit down.
"Okay, thank you. I smiled and sat down.
Xiaowen was busy making tea, and Xiao Liang and Xiao Ming were having fun on the side. Suddenly, I saw Xiaowen coming over with a small box.
"Mother Wang, this is a little bit of heart I have prepared for you, I hope you like it. Xiaowen handed me the small box and said.
I took the small box and opened it, and inside it was a delicate bracelet with a small silver pendant hanging from it, which was very delicate and beautiful.
"Xiaowen, this is so beautiful, how can I bear to ask for it?" I said with some emotion.
"Mother Wang, you can take it, it's just a little bit of my mind. Xiaowen said with a smile.
I looked at Xiaowen's smiling face and felt that I was really blessed to have such a caring daughter-in-law.
"Thank you, Xiaowen, I love it. I laughed.
We sat around as a family and enjoyed the warmth of time. Xiao Ming and Xiao Liang had a great time, and Xiaowen and I also had a very speculative chat.
"Mother Wang, do you think that if we take Xiaoliang away, you will be very lonely alone?" Xiaowen asked suddenly.
"What's the matter, with Xiao Ming by my side, I'm already very happy. I smiled and shook my head.
"However, there is only one child in our family now, Xiaoliang, don't you feel lost?" Xiaowen asked with some concern.
"I'm not going to be disappointed, I was happy when I was here, and now that he's back, I'm just as happy. I said firmly.
Xiaowen listened, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Mom, we will come to see you often in the future, and we won't leave you alone. Xiaowen said.
"Yes, I know, your family is my closest people. I looked at Xiaowen gratefully.
We got along very well as a family, chatted about many interesting topics, and laughed constantly. This day, for me, is a day full of happiness.
In the evening, Xiao Ming and I returned home. Xiao Ming looked at me and smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm so happy today." ”
"yes, it's a great day. I said with a smile.
When we entered the house, my heart was filled with emotion. Although Xiao Liang left, I didn't feel lonely because Xiao Ming was by my side. I know that the love of my family will always be with me, no matter where I am.
