In 2008, I married Zhang Zhi and moved into my mother-in-law's house. From that moment on, my mother-in-law treated me like a daughter.
That day, I had just come home from work and saw my mother-in-law busy in the kitchen. I walked in, smiled and said, "Mom, you've worked hard, I'll help." She shook her head and said with a smile on her face: "No, no, you young people work hard, go and rest." ”
For dinner, my mother-in-law made a table of sumptuous dishes. I grabbed a piece of fish and was about to put it in my mouth when I suddenly remembered something, and my face instantly became embarrassed. Seeing this, the mother-in-law asked with concern, "What's the matter, child?" and I said hesitantly, "Mom, I'...... I can't eat fish, I get allergies. ”
I thought my mother-in-law would be angry, but she smiled and said, "Ouch, look at my memory, I forgot about it." It's okay, I'll cook you something else. With that, she immediately got up and went into the kitchen again.
As the days passed, my mother-in-law and I got along better and better. Until one day, Aunt Li, a neighbor, suddenly came to me and said, "Xiao Chen, you have to pay attention, I heard that your mother-in-law is speaking ill of you outside." ”
I was stunned, I couldn't believe it was true. At night, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, and decided to talk to my mother-in-law. I walked to her room and whispered, "Mom, is it true that Aunt Li said that you said bad things about me behind your back?"
The mother-in-law's eyes widened, and she said innocently, "Oh, Xiao Chen, why do you think that? When did I say bad things about you? Aunt Li must have misunderstood." ”
Looking at my mother-in-law's sincere eyes, I believed her. However, not long after, another relative told me that my mother-in-law was telling me behind my back that I was lazy and didn't know how to do housework. This time, I was furious.
I rushed to my mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, why do you want to speak ill of me in front of others?" Did you misunderstand something?"
My heart softened and I realized that I might have really misunderstood my mother-in-law. So, I decided to investigate the matter secretly.
After some hard work, I finally found the truth of the matter: it turned out that Aunt Li was jealous of my relationship with my mother-in-law and deliberately sowed discord.
When I told my mother-in-law the truth, she held my hand tightly and tears welled up in her eyes: "Xiao Chen, thank you for believing in me. I've always treated you like my own daughter, how could I say bad things about you?"
Since then, I have cherished my relationship with my mother-in-law even more. We have faced all kinds of difficulties in life together, and we have walked through one day after another hand in hand.
In 2008, my mother-in-law treated me like a daughter, and this deep affection made me remember it. And those ups and downs have also become good memories for us to spend together.
As time went by, my relationship with my mother-in-law grew stronger. We care about each other and depend on each other like biological mothers and daughters. That day, when I came home from work, I found my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa with a solemn expression.
I walked over and asked softly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" You have been stressed at work lately, and you need to pay attention to your body. ”
A warm current welled up in my heart, and I said movingly: "Mom, thank you for your concern, I will pay attention." As she was talking, her mother-in-law suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, it's your birthday in a few days, do you have any wishes?"
I thought for a moment, smiled and said, "As long as I am with my family, it will be my happiest birthday." When the mother-in-law heard this, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
A few days later, my mother-in-law prepared a birthday surprise for me. The whole family sat together, laughing and having fun. At that moment, I felt happiness that I had never felt before.
However, life is always full of surprises. Shortly after my birthday, my mother-in-law suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. I was so anxious that I stayed in the hospital every day to take care of her.
One day, I was peeling apples for my mother-in-law, and she looked at me and said, "Xiao Chen, you've worked hard for this time." My own body I know that it may not be long. ”
With tears in my eyes, I comforted her: "Mom, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely get better." My mother-in-law shook her head gently, held my hand and said, "I am already very satisfied, and being a family with you is the happiest thing in my life." It's just that I can't rest assured that you and Zhang Zhi are at ease. ”
I held back my tears and said firmly: "Mom, don't worry, I will work with Zhang Zhi to take care of the family." The mother-in-law smiled and nodded.
During my mother-in-law's illness, Zhang Zhi and I took on the responsibility of the family together. We cherish each other even more, and we cherish every moment with our mother-in-law even more.
Finally, with the efforts of the doctors and our care, my mother-in-law's condition gradually improved. On the day of discharge, the whole family cheered as if they were reborn.
When I got home, my mother-in-law told me, "Xiao Chen, I'm really lucky to have a daughter like you. In the future, our family will be more united and face the challenges of life together. ”
I nodded heavily, and secretly resolved in my heart: I must let my mother-in-law live a happy life.
The days have returned to their former peace, but our feelings are deeper. Whenever we encounter difficulties, we will remember those difficult days, which bring us endless courage and strength.
My relationship with my mother-in-law has long gone beyond ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and has become an indispensable part of each other's lives. And this deep affection has also become the most valuable asset of our family.
As time passed, my mother-in-law's body gradually recovered, and our lives returned to peace. However, this calm did not last long. One weekend afternoon, my mother-in-law and I were watching TV in the living room when suddenly the doorbell rang.
I got up to open the door, and there was a strange middle-aged woman standing outside the door, she looked at me and asked a little crampedly, "Excuse me, is this Zhang Zhi's house?" I nodded, secretly guessing her intention.
She smiled slightly and handed me a package: "This is from your family, please sign for it." I signed, took the package, and closed the door. When my mother-in-law saw me holding the package, she asked curiously, "Who sent it?"
I shook my head: "I don't know, the sender's name is not written on it." With that, I opened the package, and inside was a letter and some old photographs. I opened the envelope, and inside was Zhang Zhi's handwriting:
"Dear Mom and Xiao Chen, this is a message from an old friend of mine, saying that it is a photo of us and some old things from our college days. I think this may be a surprise to you. I'm very busy with work right now, and I can't go back right away, so let's take a look. ”
My mother-in-law and I looked at each other and started looking through the old photos. Zhang Zhi in the photo is young and handsome, smiling brightly with a group of friends. The mother-in-law looked at the photo with tears in her eyes: "How many years ago did this happen, time flies so fast." ”
I gently patted my mother-in-law's hand and comforted her: "Mom, don't be sad, Zhang Zhi is also very good now, and we are all proud of him." ”
That's when I noticed the handwriting on the back of a photo, and I flipped it over to see that it read: "In 2008, our dreams set sail." "My heart moved, is this Zhang Zhi's dream when he was in college?
I showed the photo to my mother-in-law, and she was silent for a moment before saying, "Xiao Chen, do you know? 2008 is not only the year you and Zhang Zhi got married, but also the year his father died. He has always missed his father, and these dreams may have something to do with his father. ”
After hearing this, my heart was sour, but I didn't expect Zhang Zhi to still have such pain in his heart. I decided to wait for him to come back and have a good talk with him.
A few days later, Zhang Zhi returned. After dinner, I took out those old photos and letters and said to him, "Zhang Zhi, these are sent by your friends, and there are your dreams on them. ”
Zhang Zhi took the photo and looked at the handwriting on it, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, in 2008, my father and I made a pact that we would make these dreams come true together. Unfortunately, he did not wait for that day. ”
My mother-in-law and I listened quietly, and Zhang Zhi continued: "I have always kept these dreams in my heart, and now, I think it's time to make them come true. ”
That night, as our family sat together, Zhang Zhi recounted his and his father's dreams. We decided to work together to make these dreams come true, so that Zhang Zhi's father's spirit in heaven could be comforted.
Since then, our lives have become more fulfilling. We traveled together, participated in public welfare activities together, and realized the dreams of Zhang Zhi and his father together. My mother-in-law's smile also increased, and she said that it was her greatest wish to see us so happy.
And those old photos and letters have become the most precious treasures in our family. They bear witness to our past and guide our future. On the road to realizing our dreams, we move forward hand in hand, and our hearts are full of love and hope.
As time went on, our family went further and further on the road to achieving our dreams, and our lives became more and more fulfilling. We not only fulfilled the dreams of Zhang Zhi and his father, but also helped many people in need and made them feel love and warmth.
One day, I was busy in the kitchen with my mother-in-law, preparing dinner. The mother-in-law suddenly said with emotion: "Xiao Chen, I think our family is really happy, with you, our life has become so beautiful." ”
I smiled and replied, "Mom, it's all because we care for each other and support each other. We are a family, and of course we have to work together to make life better. ”
At this time, Zhang Zhi walked into the kitchen, looked at our busy figures, and said with a smile: "You two are really getting more and more tacit, I can feel the warmth of home outside." ”
We looked at each other and smiled, our hearts filled with happiness. After dinner, we sat together in the living room and chatted about family life. The mother-in-law suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I recently heard from my neighbor Aunt Li that her grandson was getting married and invited us to the wedding. ”
My eyes lit up and I smiled and said, "That's great, let's go together as a family." It is a good opportunity for us to relax and enjoy the joy of the wedding. ”
Zhang Zhi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we haven't attended a wedding together for a long time." This time it's a must. ”
On the day of the wedding, our family was dressed up and smiling. The wedding scene was very romantic, with flowers, balloons, and streamers, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. We took a photo with the bride and groom and made wonderful memories.
After the wedding, we went home and reminisced about the beauty of the wedding. The mother-in-law said with emotion: "Today's wedding is really beautiful, and I am happy to see the bride and groom so happy." ”
I looked at my mother-in-law and my heart was full of gratitude: "Mom, you are right, happiness depends on us to strive for it. As long as our family is united, our life will definitely get better and better. ”
Zhang Zhi also said with emotion: "Yes, we must cherish our current life and cherish each other." I believe that as long as we keep working hard, our dreams will come true. ”
Since then, our family has cherished each other more and worked together to make life a better place. We have attended many weddings and witnessed countless happy moments. And each time, we are more determined to believe that as long as we are together as a family, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
On the road to realizing our dreams, we move forward hand in hand, and our hearts are full of love and hope. Those old photos and letters have become the most precious treasures in our home, witnessing our past and guiding our future. In the days to come, we will continue to work hard to make life better.
