My name is Li Xiaofeng, I am Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, and I am an ordinary office worker. I live in a typical Chinese family, with my wife Wang Lili, my son Xiao Ming, and my parents. My family wasn't wealthy, but we were doing well. However, a recent incident shattered that tranquility.
One night, when I came home from work, I was surrounded by a strong smell of mahjong. I opened the door and found the living room crowded with friends and family, sitting around playing mahjong. The mother-in-law sat on the main seat, holding a pair of mahjong in her hand, looking at the cards intently. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, my 63-year-old mother-in-law has nothing to do all day, and her only entertainment is playing mahjong.
"Xiaofeng, you're back. When my wife Wang Lili saw me walk in, she hurriedly stood up and greeted me, "How is your work today?"
"It's ok. I replied lightly, but my heart was full of helplessness and dissatisfaction with this scene. Every day when I get home, I either see my son Xiao Ming playing video games in the room alone, or I see my mother-in-law playing mahjong with a group of old friends in the living room, and the atmosphere at home is dull.
"What's wrong with you guys? I play mahjong here every day, what about the kids?" I couldn't help but ask, a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, Xiaofeng, don't keep nagging. The mother-in-law pursed her lips impatiently, "You don't understand, this is our way of entertainment." ”
"But you play mahjong here all day long, and you don't care about Xiao Ming. I said with some annoyance.
"Xiao Ming will play by himself, it's okay. Wang Lili hurriedly comforted.
I looked at Xiao Ming, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and my heart was full of distress and helplessness. He was supposed to enjoy the love of his parents in a warm family, but now he often spends time alone in his room, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.
"Mother-in-law, have you been playing mahjong like this, and you are not afraid that your body will not be able to bear it?" I tried to convince her to stop this addiction.
"Oh, it's okay, I'm fine. The mother-in-law replied casually and continued to concentrate on playing mahjong in her hand.
As I watched this scene, my heart became even heavier. I know that my mother-in-law's mahjong addiction has become serious to the point where I can't extricate myself, and her indifference to my grandson also makes me feel guilty and sad. This family atmosphere was stressful and I didn't know how to face and solve it.
I decided to have a good talk with my wife and find a solution to this problem. That night, after my son fell asleep, I sat in the living room with Wang Lili.
"Lili, we need to have a good talk. I spoke.
"Yes, Xiaofeng, I also feel that something is wrong with the situation at home. Wang Lili said with a wry smile, "But you know, my mother-in-law has always been like this, and I don't know what to do." ”
"I don't think we can let this continue. I said, "My mother-in-law is addicted to playing mahjong all day long, and she doesn't care about her family and grandchildren, which is not good for our family relationship and Xiao Ming's growth." ”
"But you know, it's not easy to get your mother-in-law to change this habit. Wang Lili said helplessly, "She has always felt that she is in good health, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with playing mahjong." ”
"We can't be passive anymore, we have to find a way. "We need to have a good talk with my mother-in-law so that she realizes the impact of her actions on our family." ”
Wang Lili nodded, agreeing with my idea. We decided to talk to my mother-in-law early tomorrow morning, hoping that she would listen to us and change her behavior.
Early the next morning, Wang Lili and I went to my mother-in-law's room. My mother-in-law was tidying up the room and greeted us with a smile when she saw us come in.
"Mother-in-law, we have to talk to you about something. I spoke.
"What's the matter?" asked the mother-in-law, a little confused.
"Mother-in-law, we feel that you have been too addicted to playing mahjong recently, completely ignoring your family and Xiao Ming. Wang Lili said bluntly, "Do you know that Xiao Ming often spends time alone in the room, and we are worried about his growth. ”
The mother-in-law listened to Wang Lili's words, her expression was a little stunned, and then she shook her head, "Oh, don't worry, it's good for children to play by themselves." ”
"But mother-in-law, Xiao Ming is our son, and we hope that he can grow up healthy in a warm family. I persuaded, "You play mahjong all day long, and you don't even have time to take care of your grandson, which will have an impact on Xiao Ming's mental health." ”
"Oops, I see, I'll pay attention to it later. The mother-in-law said with some embarrassment.
Wang Lili and I looked at our mother-in-law and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the mother-in-law's attitude is not firm enough, at least she has expressed her willingness to change her behavior, which is already a good start. I hope that my mother-in-law can truly realize her own problems, change her behavior, and bring warmth and harmony to our family.
The mother-in-law's attitude has indeed changed, she has begun to notice the needs of the family, and she no longer indulges in playing mahjong all day. Wang Lili and I are both relieved and feel that our efforts have not been in vain.
However, this does not completely solve the problem. Although her mother-in-law has reduced the amount of time she spends playing mahjong, she still can't get rid of this habit. Whenever she has free time, she picks up the mahjong in her hand and sits alone in the living room to play a few games. Although Wang Lili and I were a little dissatisfied, we could only choose to be patient, after all, my mother-in-law's attitude has changed, and she is not completely disregarding the family as before.
However, our family problems don't end there. A few days ago, my mother-in-law suddenly felt unwell and was rushed to the hospital. After the examination, the doctor told us that there was something wrong with my mother-in-law's body and that she needed to be hospitalized for a period of observation.
"Mother-in-law, you really scared us this time. I held my mother-in-law's hand, full of worry, "You should pay more attention to your body in the future." ”
"I see, I'll pay attention to it later. The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine soon." ”
Wang Lili and I looked at my mother-in-law, and our hearts were full of love and concern for her. Although there are some problems with my mother-in-law's health, at least she is aware of her health problems now and will pay more attention to them in the future. I wish her a speedy recovery, a return to our family, and a happy time with us.
During the time my mother-in-law was hospitalized, our family was very concerned about her physical condition. Every day, Wang Lili and I would visit her in the hospital and take Xiao Ming with her, so that he could also see my grandmother's condition with his own eyes and enhance family affection.
"Grandma, how are you feeling?" asked Xiao Ming, looking worried.
"I'm fine, Xiao Ming, don't worry. The mother-in-law smiled and comforted, "You have to be obedient and study hard." ”
"Okay, grandma, I'll be good. Xiao Ming nodded, his eyes full of love for his grandmother.
Wang Lili and I watched this scene and felt warm in our hearts. Although our mother-in-law's indifference to Xiao Ming made us feel dissatisfied before, now we are also relieved to see her love for Xiao Ming.
During my mother-in-law's hospitalization, Wang Lili and I also took the opportunity to reflect on our family's problems. We realize that as the head of the family, we need to pay more attention to the feelings of the family members and not let the family have conflicts and problems. We decided to spend more time with our child in the future so that he could feel our love and warmth.
During my mother-in-law's hospitalization, I also often chatted with her and listened to her heart. My mother-in-law told me that she was addicted to playing mahjong and completely ignored the importance of her family, and now she regrets it in retrospect. She said that in the future, she will cherish her family more, accompany her grandson more, and give him more care.
"Xiaofeng, don't worry, I will accompany Xiao Ming more in the future. The mother-in-law said, "I won't indulge in playing mahjong all day anymore." ”
I looked at my mother-in-law with gratitude and relief. I know that my mother-in-law's attitude has changed, and I am very happy that she has realized her problem and is willing to correct it.
After fifteen days of observation in the hospital, the mother-in-law was finally able to be discharged. Our family was very happy and decided to give her a warm welcome. Wang Lili and I came to the hospital ahead of schedule to take my mother-in-law home.
On the day my mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital, Wang Lili and I came to the hospital in advance to wait. With flowers and fruit baskets in our hands, we were ready to give my mother-in-law a warm welcome.
Finally, the mother-in-law walked out of the gate of the hospital, dressed in light clothes and with a smile on her face. Seeing us, a trace of moving tears flashed in her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, you have finally been discharged from the hospital. I stepped forward and greeted me with a smile.
"yes, I'm so glad you came to pick me up. The mother-in-law wiped her tears and smiled even brighter.
"Grandma, you've finally been discharged from the hospital, and we all miss you so much. Xiao Ming took his mother-in-law's hand and said happily.
"Xiao Ming, you have grown taller. The mother-in-law smiled and touched Xiao Ming's hair, "Grandma will accompany you more in the future." ”
Our family walked home laughing and laughing all the way home. Back at home, Wang Lili and I settled my mother-in-law and made her a cup of hot tea to let her rest for a while.
"Xiaofeng, Lili, I really appreciate you. The mother-in-law picked up the teacup and said with emotion, "I will never forget your care and care for me." ”
"Mother-in-law, you are too polite, we are a family and should take care of each other. I smiled and said, "We will definitely accompany you more in the future, so that you can live a happy life." ”
"Yes, mother-in-law, you have to take care of your body more in the future, don't let us worry anymore. Wang Lili also said with a smile.
When my mother-in-law heard our words, a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes. She knows that the love of her family is the most precious, and she will cherish her family more in the future, accompany us more, and enjoy happy times.
Since then, our family's life has become more harmonious and happy. The mother-in-law also gradually got rid of the habit of indulging in mahjong and began to pay attention to the growth of the family and grandchildren. We've had a lot of fun together and we've grown closer to each other.
I know that family is the warmest harbor, and only the love of family can make us feel happy and at ease. I will always cherish the warmth of this family and strive to make every day full of love and hope.
