"Parents, you have to understand that we are now living in the 21st century. The wife said straight to the point, "Society is constantly progressing, and people's ideas are also advancing with the times. Our generation no longer follows 100 percent of the old rituals like the ancients. We pursue equality and freedom, and hope to realize personal value in marriage and family. "
Father sighed and said with a wry smile: "However, after all, we older generations have been influenced by traditional education, and it is difficult for us to fully accept your way of life." What you say makes sense, but in our hearts, a daughter-in-law should be filial to her in-laws and take care of the affairs of the family. "
"That doesn't deprive me of my personal freedom!" The wife retorted with all her might, "Isn't it just to use me as a servant of the house by putting me in the bridal room?
I looked at the scene in front of me and thought to myself: This is the contradiction caused by the generation gap. We young people pursue freedom and equality, while our elders still miss the traditional way of life. How to resolve this conflict is the key to solving the current dilemma.
At this moment, the wife spoke again, and her tone was softer than before: "Parents, I am not disrespecting you, nor am I trying to do anything against you. It's just that I want you to respect my way of life as much as I respect your way of life. We all have our own pursuits, and we shouldn't force each other to change. "
Seeing that my wife finally said what she was thinking, I quickly followed up and said, "That's right, that's the truth." Although we are a family, each of us has different personalities and pursuits. We need to learn to respect each other and treat each other as equals. "
of bosom lovers. I am very grateful to her for doing the housework at home; But it's unfair to ask her to serve you and your mom all day. You should respect her as much as I respect you. "
The father lowered his head, as if in deep thought. I struck while the iron was hot and turned to my mother: "Mom, you have taught your wife to be filial to her in-laws since she was a child, and we all have seen this. However, filial piety does not mean complete surrender. You should give your wife some freedom to realize her self-worth instead of locking her in the bridal room. "
The mother wiped her tears and nodded. I could see that they were starting to waver, so I continued to do it: "In fact, your request of my wife is also depriving me of my rights. She is my lover and I want her to live freely and not be tied down by you. Therefore, what you did not only hurt my wife, but also hurt our feelings. "
The wife looked at her parents, her tone revealing a hint of exhaustion, but more of firmness and determination: "Parents, I know that you have good intentions and hope that I can follow the tradition and live the life you want." However, times have changed, and I am no longer a young and ignorant girl. I have my own life pursuits, as well as my own expectations for marriage and family. "
"You see, I didn't marry my husband just to give birth to a child. More importantly, we are out of sincere love and hope to spend our lives together. We are equal partners, not master and servant relationships. He respects me and regards me as a bosom friend in life; I also hope that you will respect my way of life and not ask me to be my old daughter-in-law. "
"I don't mean to disobey your teachings and disrespect your elders at all. In fact, I have always been very filial to you, and I have never left behind in the affairs of my family. It's just that there are some things that I want you to give me autonomy. For example, I don't want to be locked up in the bridal room, I can only serve you. I have my own circle of life, my own pursuits, and I need freedom to realize my self-worth. "
Speaking of this, the wife's eyes became more and more determined: "So, this is not unfilial piety, but a new kind of filial piety." I will use my own way to fulfill filial piety and treat the family with modern thinking. If you can open your minds and embrace the way of life of our generation, we can live in harmony. Otherwise, it's really hard for me to stay in this home. "
The wife's sincere words were like a hammer, hitting the hearts of the parents fiercely. They looked at each other, as if reflecting on what they had done.
After a long time, my father took a deep breath and said rather sadly: "Yes, our older generation is indeed too attached to tradition. We always think that only by living the way of the ancients can we be considered a qualified person. However, with the progress of society, new life concepts and values have also emerged. You young people are right to pursue freedom and equality. "
The mother also nodded, and shed two lines of tears: "Yes, our old man is too stubborn. The reason why we asked you like that in the first place was just to hope that you could live our ideal life and always be filial to your in-laws. However, we ignore your own feelings and the changes of the times. You're right, the new era needs a new filial piety, and we shouldn't be strict with you to follow the old etiquette. "
I watched my parents' reaction and secretly rejoiced that they finally realized their mistake and didn't rest on their laurels. If they continue to live on the ideas of the past, I am afraid that the family will be permanently broken.
Seeing that my parents seemed to have changed, I hurriedly followed and persuaded me: "Mom and Dad, you finally understand. Yes, our generation does have a different way of life than yours. But that doesn't mean we're not filial, we're just using new ways of expressing it. "
"Take my wife, for example, although she does not want to be locked up in the bridal room, but she is not slacking off at all in the affairs of the family. She takes care of the household every day and tries her best to keep our lives in order. This is how she embodies filial piety in her own way. "
"And you have to understand that my wife is not only my wife, but also my bosom love in this life. We are partners who truly love each other, not master and servant. If you insist that she be the daughter-in-law of the old days, are you not depriving us of our freedom?
I looked at my father and continued, "Dad, you should support us, not ask us to change our lifestyle. You have to believe that we will do our filial piety in our own way, rather than completely following the old rites. As long as you are open-minded and considerate of our situation, I believe we will be able to love each other and have fun. "
When my father heard this, he nodded, and finally a smile appeared on his face. He patted me on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Good boy, you have a point. Those of us who are old and stubborn should indeed open our minds and accept the way you want to live. "
The mother also wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said to her wife, "I'm sorry, we went too far." You're right, the new era needs a new filial piety, and we shouldn't be stuck in the old ideas. In the future, you can live freely, as long as you treat your family with heart, we will be content. "
My wife and I were relieved to see that our parents were finally relieved. The wife stepped forward and hugged her parents separately, and her eyes were slightly moist.
"Thank you for your understanding. The wife said, "I have always regarded you as the foundation of this family, and it is you who have given me the fragrance of life." I will be filial to you in my own way, and not bound by your old ideas. "
The father patted his wife on the back and said earnestly, "It is we who are too stubborn to accept the life philosophy of your young people. In the future, we will change our ways and give you more freedom. "
"It's okay, father. I hurriedly said, "The important thing is that we finally resolved the conflict." Now that we all understand each other, we can live in harmony and beauty. "
The mother also nodded, and a peaceful smile bloomed on her face again: "Yes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. As long as everyone communicates attentively and understands each other, we will definitely be able to resolve differences. You young people are pursuing a new life, and we old people must also learn to be open and tolerant. "
In this way, a conflict that could have led to a family breakup was finally resolved with sincere communication. We laughed as a family and decided to go out for a walk and regain our old intimacy.
The sun shines warmly on us, and I breathe deeply in the fresh spring air, and my heart is full of joy. A conflict that could have led to a family breakup was resolved with the sincere communication of everyone. We have regained our former intimacy, and this taste of happiness is truly cherished.
My wife said to me, "Great, dear, we have finally made it through this crisis. She had a big smile on her face, and she was beautiful. I hugged her hard and imprinted a deep kiss on her forehead.
"yes, we're finally back together as a family. I said from the bottom of my heart, "We have all matured, we have learned to treat each other as equals, and we have resolved our differences." "
Father and mother also walked over, their faces equally filled with joy. "Kids, we're really glad you didn't leave because of our stubbornness. My father patted me on the shoulder, his eyes full of kindness, "I know that you are pursuing a new way of life, and we will definitely give you enough freedom." "
The mother shook his wife's hand and said in a sincere tone: "It is we who are too stubborn to accept your philosophy of life in time. But now we all understand that we will treat you with a more open mind. You can live your life on your own terms, as long as you are attentive to your family. "
The wife nodded, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes: "Thank you, I have always regarded you as the foundation of this family. You have given me the nourishment of life, and I will be filial to you in my own way. "
We looked at each other and smiled and decided to just walk along the park trail as a family. Colorful flowers bloom along the roadside, and the branches are replanted with green shoots. Everything seems to speak of the hope of new life and the power of rebirth.
We walked in the garden with laughter and laughter, enjoying the rare family fun. Occasionally, my father would point to the flowers and trees on the side of the road and explain to us their origins. Her mother would share anecdotes from her youth. My wife and I held hands tightly, like a couple in love, and we were both looking at each other with good hopes for the future.
"You see, the azaleas are in full bloom over there. Pointing to a cluster of bright red azaleas, my father said, "This kind of flower is not easy to feed, and it needs to be cared for." Just like our family, we also need everyone's careful management in order to maintain the fragrance forever. "
"You have a point. I nodded in agreement, "Our family is like a towering tree, and everyone is a part of it. Only when each part is healthy and strong can the whole tree be evergreen. "
The wife also sighed: "Yes, we are all indispensable members of this family. Although everyone has different pursuits and lifestyles, as long as they communicate with their hearts and understand each other, they will be able to love each other and be harmonious. "
When the mother heard this, she kissed her on the cheek, her eyes full of love: "My good boy, you have seen us all through. From now on, we will definitely treat you with a more open mind. Although you live your life on your own terms, we old people will never rest on our laurels again. "
We just communicated with each other, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Parents finally let go of their preconceptions and began to truly respect our way of life; My wife and I have become more considerate of their situation and have learned to look at them with a more tolerant leniency.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, enjoying this hard-won family fun. I took my wife into my arms and said, "I can't believe it, we're almost going to break up." Fortunately, the crisis was resolved in the end, and we regained our sense of intimacy. "
The wife nodded, her eyes full of doting: "Yes, we have finally learned to treat each other with an equal mentality." This is what a happy family should look like. "
My father also said with emotion: "No one wants the family to break up. Fortunately, we have all matured and learned to be considerate and tolerant of each other. From now on, we will definitely respect the lifestyle of your young people and let everyone live the life they want. "
The mother nodded, shook her wife's hand, and said earnestly: "Yes, this time we understand that the new era needs new life concepts and values. We, the elderly, also need to learn to keep up with the times, rather than rest on our laurels. As long as you manage your family with your heart, we are sincerely grateful. "
As the sun set in the west, we decided to go home and start preparing dinner. Along the way, everyone was smiling, and each other's hearts were transparent. This is what a happy and harmonious family should look like, and we have finally found it.
As soon as she entered the house, her wife consciously walked to the kitchen and prepared to cook a hearty dinner for everyone. Seeing this, the mother also hurriedly followed, saying that she would give his wife a handle. My father and I sat down in the living room, chatting with each other.
"Oh, that's old. My father said with emotion, "If it weren't for your persuasion, we might have stuck on our laurels." Thankfully, you finally brought us to the rescue. "
I smiled and patted my father on the shoulder and said sincerely, "It's okay Dad, the important thing is that you finally changed your preconceived notions." I know it wasn't easy for your older generation, but you did it anyway. I sincerely admire this determination and courage. "
When my father heard this, a smile of relief appeared on his face. He patted the back of my hand and said earnestly, "Actually, I can understand the lifestyle of you young people. It's just that our older generation has been influenced by too many traditions, and it's hard to fully accept it. But now, I've finally let go of my preconceptions and I'm ready for a new era. "
I nodded, and my admiration for my father increased a little more. As a father, he not only has an open-minded mind, but also has the courage and determination to change his ways. It is precisely because of his open-minded quality that our family was able to resolve our differences in the crisis and come back together.
At this moment, the wife and mother had already prepared a sumptuous dinner and brought it out. Looking at their intimate appearance, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The wife respects her mother as if she were her own mother, and the mother loves her as if she were her own daughter. This is the power of family affection, which can dissolve all barriers and differences, and unite us as a family forever.
"Come and try it, I'm making it according to your favorite flavor. "My wife put a plate of braised lion's head in front of me with a happy smile on her face.
I quickly took a sip, and the taste was indeed my favorite. I couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious, and my wife is so virtuous." It took a lot of effort to make this dish. "
My wife smiled shyly and jokingly pushed me: "Where, I just want to be filial to you." "
The mother said dotingly, "Look at how virtuous my daughter-in-law is." Not only is she beautiful and capable, but she is also filial to us old people. That's what you young people should do, and you should be filial to your elders in your own way. "
The father also nodded and gave his wife a thumbs up: "Yes, we are no longer resting on our laurels." As long as you manage your family with your heart, we are sincerely grateful. "
Seeing that my parents have finally fully embraced our way of life, my wife and I look at each other and smile, and we are extremely relieved. Yes, that's what a happy family should look like. Although everyone has different pursuits and lifestyles, as long as they communicate with their hearts and understand each other, they will be able to love each other and be harmonious.
With that, we looked at each other and smiled, and began this happy dinner. Everyone chatted one by one, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Occasionally, my father would tell an old-fashioned joke or two, which would lead to bursts of hearty laughter. This is what a family should look like, close to each other, and happy.
After dinner, we looked at each other and smiled, and our hearts were filled with a beautiful vision for the future. After this tempering, our family has matured a lot. Parents have finally let go of their preconceived notions and are beginning to truly respect the way of life of our young people; My wife and I have become more considerate of their situation and have learned to look at them with a more tolerant leniency.
I put my arms around my wife and said, "Honey, we've finally gotten through this crisis. From now on, we will definitely manage this family in our own way. As long as we all communicate with each other and understand each other, I believe we will be able to grow old together. "
The wife nodded, tears of happiness flashing in her eyes: "Yes, we have finally learned to treat each other with an equal mentality." This is what a happy family should look like. "
My father patted me on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Son, you have all grown up and have your own independent outlook on life and values. As parents, we should respect your way of life, not just ask you to conform to our old ideas. "
The mother also nodded, her eyes full of love: "Yes, the new era needs a new concept of life." We, the elderly, also need to learn to keep up with the times, rather than rest on our laurels. As long as you manage your family with your heart, we are sincerely grateful. "
We looked at each other and smiled, and our hearts were filled with beautiful expectations for the future. This contradiction makes us cherish the happy life in front of us even more, and also allows us to learn to treat each other with a more tolerant and equal attitude. I know that as long as we all manage this family with our hearts, we will be able to live happily and healthily and grow old together.
