My name is Zhang Lin, and I am the daughter-in-law of an ordinary family. My husband's name is Li Ming, and he is an employee of a small company. We have a lovely son, Xiao Ming, who has just started kindergarten this year. My husband and I love our children, but because of our busy schedules, we often have to rely on my husband's mom – my mother-in-law – to help take care of Xiao Ming.
My mother-in-law, surnamed Li, is a traditional Chinese woman who is meticulous and meticulous. She is not young, but she is still full of energy, busy every day, and never likes to be idle. Mother-in-law's ability to take care of children is not ordinary, her skills are not limited to the kitchen, but also the education and care of children are also easy. Under her careful care, Xiao Ming is healthy and smart, and is deeply loved by our whole family.
However, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Just a few days ago, my mother-in-law suddenly made an unexpected request to us - she wanted to go back to her hometown. The reason is that she said that her sister is old, in poor health and needs someone to take care of her. My husband and I felt a little uncomfortable when we heard this, and although we understood my mother-in-law's thoughts, we were still a little reluctant in our hearts. After all, my mother-in-law has lived in our house for three years, and her departure will undoubtedly make the family less warm.
"Mom, do you really want to go back to your hometown?" I asked softly, sitting in the living room, with a little reluctance in my heart.
My mother-in-law sat opposite, stroking the embroidered cloth shoes on her knees, and looked up at me with a little heaviness in her eyes: "Yes, my sister is not in good health, and I want to go back to accompany her for a while." ”
I knew in my heart that my mother-in-law said this out of responsibility and concern for her family. However, I was still a little uneasy to think that there would be less care for the family after she left.
"But, Mom, Xiao Ming has just started kindergarten, who will take care of him when you leave?" I paused, trying to make my tone appear calm.
The mother-in-law smiled and said gently, "Don't worry, you two are adults, and there is a way." And I'll be back often. ”
I nodded, although I was still a little reluctant in my heart, but I knew that my mother-in-law's decision had been decided, and I had to accept it.
"Alright then, Mom, we respect your decision. I stood up, walked over to my mother-in-law, and gently shook her hand.
"Thank you for your understanding. A hint of gratitude flashed in the mother-in-law's eyes, and then she regained her composure, "However, there is one more thing to do before I leave. ”
"What's the matter?" I asked, a little confused.
My mother-in-law took out a booklet from her bag and handed it to me. "Here are some home-cooked recipes I have put together, you can take them and make them for Xiao Ming to eat in the future." ”
I took the booklet and flipped through it, and sure enough, it contained some home-cooked dishes. "Thank you, Mom, I will study hard. I said with a smile.
My mother-in-law also smiled and patted my hand, "Child, you and Xiao Ming should be happy." ”
I looked at my mother-in-law's kind smile, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Perhaps, the departure of my mother-in-law is not a bad thing, maybe it is a new beginning, an opportunity for us to grow more independently.
On the day I dropped my mother-in-law off at the high-speed rail station, the sky was overcast and I seemed to feel a little heavy for my mother-in-law's departure. My mother-in-law and I sat in the car, and it was much quieter than usual all the way. I looked at the scenery rushing by outside the window, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Mom, the high-speed rail station is almost here. I reminded my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law nodded, turned her head to look at me, and suddenly smiled, "Lin, are you ready?"
I looked at her a little confused, "What are you ready for?"
My mother-in-law smiled mysteriously, took a bag out of her bag, and handed it to me. "This is for you, you take it. ”
I took the bag and looked at my mother-in-law with some confusion, "What is this?"
"Just open it and see. A smile gleamed in her mother-in-law's eyes.
I opened my bag, and inside was a beautiful photo album with the words "Family Memory" written on it. I opened the photo album, and there were photos of our family, photos of my husband and me, photos of Xiao Ming when he was born, and photos of our family when they were happy together. Looking at these photos, I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart, as if all the reluctance and worries were melted by the warmth of this family at this moment.
"Mom......" I looked at my mother-in-law with some excitement, "this ...... I was so impressed. ”
My mother-in-law smiled and patted my hand, "This is a gift for you, I hope you will accept it." ”
I clenched the photo album in my hand, my eyes were a little moist, "Thank you, Mom, I will definitely treasure it." ”
My mother-in-law gently patted me on the back, "Good boy, remember to call me often." ”
I nodded, "Well, I will." ”
The car drove into the high-speed rail station, and I helped my mother-in-law take her luggage and walked into the station with her. On the platform, I watched the back of my mother-in-law drifting away, and an indescribable feeling welled up in my heart. Perhaps, this separation is not an eternal farewell, maybe it is only a temporary parting, and our family will become stronger and warmer because of this separation.
The high-speed train slowly drove out of the platform, and I stood on the platform, watching my mother-in-law leave. An inexplicable emotion surged in my heart, as if an important time had come to an end. The departure of my mother-in-law made me feel less warm at home, but at the same time, it also aroused my courage and confidence in the future.
Back at home, it looked a little empty. Xiao Ming was playing with toys in the living room, and when he saw me coming back, he immediately threw himself into my arms, "Mom, you're back!"
I smiled and hugged Xiao Ming, "Yes, Mom is back." ”
Xiao Ming hugged my neck, with a bright smile shining in his eyes, "Mom, where is my mother-in-law?"
I gently stroked his hair, "My mother-in-law has something to deal with, so I'm going back to my hometown for the time being." ”
Xiao Ming's brows furrowed slightly, "When will my mother-in-law come back?"
I smiled, "My mother-in-law said she would come back to see us often." ”
Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction and continued to play with his toys. I looked at his innocent smile, and an indescribable feeling swelled up in my heart. Perhaps, the loss of my mother-in-law is a challenge for each of us, but I believe that we will be able to overcome everything and make our family happier and more fulfilling.
In the following days, although my mother-in-law was missing to take care of us, my husband and I tried our best to adapt to our new life. I worked harder to learn to cook and prepare delicious meals for my family every day. My husband also tries to spend as much time as possible with his family outside of work, so that our family is full of warmth and happiness.
After my mother-in-law left, we also cherished every moment with our children even more. Every night, we would gather together, chatting, playing games, and sharing each other's lives. Xiao Ming has also become more sensible and well-behaved, and often helps me do some housework within my ability, which makes me feel extremely relieved and proud.
Although the loss of my mother-in-law has brought some inconveniences and challenges, with the joint efforts of our whole family, the family has become more harmonious and happy, and more strong and strong to face everything in the future.
Life gradually regained its peace after my mother-in-law left, but I always had a feeling of emptiness in my heart, as if something important was missing. Whenever I see a photo of my mother-in-law or the home-cooked recipes she has put together, I always feel a warmth in my heart, and I can't help but think of her gentle smile and careful care.
One weekend, my husband and I decided to take Xiao Ming to the countryside to relax our tired mood. We came to a farmhouse in the suburbs, the environment is quiet, the air is fresh, as if everything is releasing the vitality and vitality of nature.
Xiao Ming was running on the grass excitedly, while my husband and I got cold
I started to prepare the ingredients in advance, and in the process of preparing the ingredients, I noticed a small episode. Just as I was taking out the cutting board, Xiao Ming ran over, his eyes shining with curiosity.
"Mom, I'm going to help too!" Xiao Ming said with great interest.
I smiled and handed him the cutting board, "Okay, Xiao Ming will help Mommy." ”
Xiao Ming held the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife as seriously as an adult, and imitated my action of chopping vegetables. Although his methods were a little rusty, I still encouraged him, "Very good, Xiao Ming, you are awesome!"
My husband couldn't help but laugh when he watched the interaction between our mother and son, "It seems that Xiao Ming will definitely be a chef in the future." ”
I smiled and nodded, "yes, I think Xiao Ming will definitely make a lot of delicious dishes." ”
With the help of Xiao Ming, we quickly prepared a hearty picnic food. Our family sat under the pergola, enjoying the food and the fresh air of nature, and we were in a good mood. I watched Xiao Ming eat with relish, and my heart was full of happiness and satisfaction.
"Mom, this dish is delicious!" Xiao Ming picked up the shredded potatoes I made and praised them again and again.
I smiled and touched his head, "Thank you Xiaoming, my mother will cook more delicious food for you in the future." ”
My husband also picked up the dish and tasted my handiwork, "Lin, your cooking skills are getting better and better." ”
I had a happy smile on my face, "It's all thanks to what my mother-in-law taught me before." ”
The husband nodded, "Yes, my mother-in-law is really a virtuous person. ”
We sat around as a family and enjoyed a warm and happy time. Although my mother-in-law is not around, her shadow always seems to be in our hearts, giving us strength and courage to make our family stronger and happier.
