The early morning sun shines through the window and into Xiaofang's office. She was intently tapping on her keyboard to finish an important report. As an HR manager for a well-known company, work is the focus of her life.
At this moment, Xiaofang's mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was her mother-in-law's number. Seeing this number, she couldn't help but frown. At this time of year, my mother-in-law's family would come to her house empty-handed for the New Year, which brought a lot of trouble to her life. Last year, she had to give up her bedroom to her mother-in-law, while she and her husband could only squeeze into the living room; The kitchen was also occupied by her mother-in-law's family, and she could only eat leftovers. Thinking of this, Xiao Fang felt a burst of trouble.
"Hey, mother-in-law, it's me. Xiao Fang picked up the phone, her tone a little reluctant.
"Xiaofang, I'm calling you, we're going to go over in two days, you have to be ready!" The mother-in-law's voice sounded very elated.
"Okay mother-in-law, I see. Xiao Fang replied perfunctorily, thinking about how to deal with the upcoming "army".
After work, Xiaofang hurried home and began to prepare for the arrival of her mother-in-law's family. She cleaned the living room and bedroom, and temporarily moved the extra furniture to the storage room.
"It's a real nuisance, every year. Xiaofang complained to her husband, "Can't they rent a house for themselves? "
The husband said helplessly: "This is your mother-in-law's habit, and I can't change it." But we should also be considerate and considerate of them, after all, they are elders. "
When Xiaofang heard this, she just pouted, knowing in her heart that this time her mother-in-law's family came, she would be the one to worry about again.
"Please come in, please come in, but I'm in a hurry!" The mother-in-law said enthusiastically and led the family into Xiaofang's house.
Xiao Fang secretly slandered in her heart, you won't be in a hurry, you are obviously treating my house as a hotel. However, for the sake of face, she still greeted warmly and introduced everyone into the house.
I saw my mother-in-law's family throw their suitcases on the ground when they entered the house, and the children jumped directly onto the sofa. Xiao Fang saw it in her eyes and only felt a headache.
At night, the family will sleep in separate rooms. Xiaofang gave up the master bedroom to her mother-in-law and father-in-law, while she and her husband slept in the second bedroom. The rest of the room was occupied by the family of my uncle.
"Mom, where do we sleep?" A couple of kids asked.
"You sleep in the guest room with your parents, save space. The mother-in-law said as a matter of course.
Seeing this, Xiaofang hurriedly stopped: "Mother-in-law, the guest room is too small, and the children can't sleep." Why don't you let them sleep on the sofa in the living room?"
"What??Sleeping on the couch?How inconvenient is that!" The mother-in-law reprimanded, "Your house is so small, why can't you live a few children?"
Xiaofang had to make a mistake, took out the sofa bed, and let the children sleep in the living room.
In the middle of the night, Xiaofang was woken up by the noise, and it turned out that the children were playing in the living room. She could only get up and reprimand the children, but soon the noise started again.
"Xiaofang, you have to cook a big meal, for the New Year, you have to eat something good!" The mother-in-law said, and ordered her uncle's family: "You also come over to help and make a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!"
Xiaofang had no choice but to agree, and then she was surrounded by her mother-in-law and uncle-in-law in the kitchen.
"Fangfang, you cut this!"
"No, no, you wash the vegetables first!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, time waits for no one!"
Everyone, you say a word, Xiao Fang was frightened and hurried. To make matters worse, the children also got into the kitchen, some running around on the floor, some touching the dishes.
"Get me out! Xiaofang was finally provoked and yelled at the children. But the children ignored it and continued to make noise in the kitchen.
At this moment, a child accidentally bumped into the plate in Xiaofang's hand, and the plate fell to the ground in response. Xiao Fang was so angry that she almost cried.
Finally, in the chaos, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was ready. The family took a seat at the table.
"Try it, I made this dish myself!" The mother-in-law said proudly and pushed a plate of braised pork in front of Xiao Fang.
Xiaofang tasted it, only to feel that the taste was the same as chewing wax. However, in order to avoid hurting her mother-in-law's self-esteem, she still forced a smile and said: "Mother-in-law's craftsmanship is so good, you made the best braised pork I have ever tasted!"
When the mother-in-law heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. The uncle-in-law and the uncle-in-law and daughter-in-law next to him also echoed on the side, and the scene was very lively.
But at this moment, Xiaofang noticed that several children were eating in large gulps, and the eating appearance was extremely ugly. What's more, one child actually dumped all the leftovers on the plate, which was a huge waste.
"Hey, you guys, you look ugly! Don't waste anything!" Xiaofang finally couldn't bear it anymore and reprimanded the children.
The children were startled, but soon began to ignore Xiaofang again and continue to munch. Xiao Fang looked at this scene, only feeling that the cow was full of faces, but she was helpless.
In this way, the mother-in-law's family stayed at Xiaofang's house for a few days. Xiao Fang was dealing with their unreasonable demands and noisy behavior every day, and gradually, her patience ran out.
One night, as soon as Xiaofang was taking a shower and getting ready to rest, her mother-in-law knocked on her door.
"Xiaofang, we're going out shopping, you can drive us. The mother-in-law said as a matter of course.
Xiao Fang was annoyed by this unreasonable request, "Mother-in-law, I'm very tired today, and it's not early, you can take a taxi by yourself." "
"What? you girl dare to talk back!" The mother-in-law was furious, "I'm your mother-in-law, you have to listen to me!
"But mother-in-law ......" Xiaofang wanted to explain again, but was interrupted by her mother-in-law.
"Long-winded, what an unfilial daughter! Do you treat us elders like this?" The mother-in-law scolded.
Xiao Fang was scolded so angrily that she finally couldn't bear it anymore, "You are! It's been a few days that your family has known to take advantage of us, and they never consider our feelings! It's just a ...... overlord to bow hard."
In this way, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides, and the scene was very out of control for a while. In the end, it was Xiaofang's husband who came forward to persuade the two to leave.
After the quarrel, Xiao Fang scratched her heart, feeling that if she continued to stay here, she would be driven crazy sooner or later. So, she decided to leave this environment for a while and go back to her parents' house to avoid the limelight.
"My dear, I really can't stand my mother-in-law. Xiaofang said to her husband, "I decided to go back to my parents' house for a few days, and you can wait for them at home." "
Although her husband didn't agree with it, he saw that Xiaofang had made up his mind, so he had to nod and agree.
That night, Xiaofang secretly booked a ticket back to her parents' house online. In order to avoid her mother-in-law's obstruction, she didn't tell anyone, but secretly hoped that the day of departure would come soon.
Early in the morning, before her mother-in-law and them got up, Xiaofang packed her luggage, called a taxi, and prepared to leave.
"Honey, I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself. Xiao Fang kissed her husband on the face, and after leaving these words, she walked out without looking back.
After getting into the car, Xiao Fang exhaled deeply, feeling that she was completely relieved. The car quickly drove out of the community and began the long journey back to her parents' home.
Along the way, Xiao Fang's mind echoed everything that had happened in the past few days. She felt that she was so wronged that her mother-in-law didn't respect her at all and treated her home as a hotel. How she longed to get out of it all!
A few hours later, Xiaofang finally arrived at the small county town where her mother's home was located. As soon as she entered, she saw her mother sitting in the living room watching TV.
"Fangfang, why did you come back suddenly?" Mother asked, puzzled.
"Yes, your mother-in-law did go a little too far. But you can't just walk away, after all, they are elders, so we should be more tolerant. "
"But Mom, you don't know, they simply treat my home as a hotel! Xiaofang said emotionally.
The mother stepped forward and hugged Xiaofang and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't get excited." You can rest at home for a few days, calm down and think about it. "
After staying at her mother's house for a few days, Xiaofang's mood gradually calmed down. One day, her mother approached her and wanted to help her.
"Fangfang, although mother-in-law and their actions are indeed a little excessive, you can't completely deny them. The mother said seductively, "You know, they came to your house for the New Year because of good intentions and wanted to reunite the whole family." "
Xiao Fang frowned, seemingly disapproving. Seeing this, the mother continued: "Moreover, mother-in-law, they are elders after all, and we as juniors, we should be more considerate and tolerant of them." You see, although they have done something wrong, there are also things worth learning. "
"Like what?" Xiao Fang asked suspiciously.
"For example, their idea of valuing family and cherishing family affection. For another example, their care and care for you and me, although the way is a bit excessive, but the intention is good. The mother said, "So, you can't deny them everything because of some small fault." "
Xiaofang was silent, her mother's words really gave her a new understanding.
Under the guidance of her mother, Xiaofang began to reflect on her previous thoughts and practices. She realized that much of the reason she was so angry was because of her lack of tolerance and understanding.
Although the mother-in-law has a lot of excesses, their kindness to Xiaofang and her husband is sincere, but the expression is a little blunt and straightforward. But Xiao Fang didn't understand them at all before, but vented all her grievances on them, which was very wrong.
What's more, Xiaofang realized that she chose to escape because of a trivial matter, which was very naïve and irresponsible. As the backbone of a family, she deserves greater tolerance and patience, rather than choosing to run away when she encounters difficulties.
After reflection, Xiaofang made up her mind that she would correct some of her previous deficiencies and treat her mother-in-law's family with a more tolerant and understanding attitude, instead of treating them as troubles and avoiding them.
After staying at her mother's house for a week, Xiaofang decided to return home and reconcile with her mother-in-law. Before leaving, her mother repeatedly told her to be more tolerant and understanding of her mother-in-law's family.
Xiao Fang stepped on the train home. Along the way, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She knows that a difficult reconciliation awaits her, because everything that has happened before, both parties are at fault first. But she made up her mind that she must face her mother-in-law with the greatest sincerity and eliminate the previous mustard.
"Fangfang, where are you going?" In the carriage, an aunt asked enthusiastically.
"I'm going back to my hometown to be with my family. Xiao Fang replied with a smile.
"That's great!" The aunt said sincerely, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but as long as we tolerate and understand each other, we will definitely be able to resolve the conflict." I wish you a good 100 years!"
Xiao Fang nodded, her aunt's words made her more determined and courageous. Yes, every family has difficulties, the important thing is to resolve them with love and tolerate them with tolerance.
A few hours later, Xiaofang finally returned home. As soon as I pushed the door, I saw my mother-in-law, father-in-law and others sitting in the living room.
"Fangfang, you're back!" When the mother-in-law saw Xiaofang, she said excitedly, "You're not here these days, we're worried about death!"
Xiaofang stepped forward, took the initiative to hug her mother-in-law, and said in a sincere tone: "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I was too willful before, I ran away from home, and caused you so much trouble." But in the past few days at my mother's house, I have also figured it out a lot. "
"Figured it out?" The mother-in-law asked suspiciously.
"I figured it out, although you have some excesses, your kindness to us is sincere, and we should be more tolerant of you. And I didn't understand you at all, and that's my fault. Xiaofang continued, "Therefore, I hope that from now on, we can all be considerate and understand each other, and resolve conflicts with love, instead of opposing right and wrong as before." Do you think you can?"
The mother-in-law was deeply moved by Xiaofang's words, and nodded again and again and said: "Okay, good, what you said is so reasonable! We have indeed gone a little too far, and we have caused you a lot of trouble, and we thank you for your tolerance and understanding." "
Then, the mother-in-law took Xiaofang's hand and said earnestly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, as long as we tolerate and understand each other, we will definitely be able to go to the end." Don't worry, from now on, we will definitely respect you and will not be as willful as before!"
Xiao Fang nodded, finally relieved. Subsequently, the family sat together, looked at each other and smiled, all the contradictions were finally resolved, and the warm atmosphere of the family returned.
