Ms. Xiaofang, 25, and her husband, Zhang Fan, 27, are renting a two-bedroom apartment in the city center. Xiaofang has just worked for two years, has a stable career, and has a comfortable life, but she has never had time to go home to visit her parents. This time, it was rare for parents to come to see them, and Xiaofang and Zhang Fan were very happy.
The afternoon before yesterday, Zhang Fan's parents suddenly called and said that they were coming to Xiaofang's house for a few days. Xiao Fang and Zhang Fan were a little caught off guard, but they still warmly invited them to come. That afternoon, Zhang Fan's parents arrived on time, carrying thick suitcases. Xiao Fang hurriedly greeted them and warmly entertained them.
"Mom, Dad, you're finally here! Come in and rest. Xiao Fang said with a smile.
After Zhang Fan's parents entered the door, they looked around at the nest with satisfied expressions on their faces.
"Oh, your house is really well decorated, very tasteful!" Zhang Fan's mother exclaimed.
"Of course, I've put a lot of thought into it. Sit down, I'll make you a cup of hot tea. Xiao Fang was warmly welcomed.
The family chatted happily for a long time, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Zhang Fan's parents said that they have been taking care of their grandchildren at home recently, and their lives are very fulfilling, and they also said that they want to take advantage of this time to visit them.
"That's great, and we're glad you're here. You must be tired, so get some rest. Zhang Fan said with a smile.
At this moment, Xiaofang's mobile phone rang, it was her parents' phone.
"Hey, Dad, you're here, I'm going to pick you up. Xiaofang said excitedly.
"Yes, we've arrived at the train station, come and pick us up. Xiaofang's father said.
The two of them drove together to the train station. When she arrived at the train station, Xiaofang saw her parents standing on the platform with a happy smile on their faces.
"Mom, Dad, you're finally here!" Xiao Fang happily hugged them.
"You must be tired, go home and rest. We've got a great dinner for you, so be sure to eat more. Xiao Fang said thoughtfully.
"Oh, you're so nice! Let's go back and get some rest. Xiaofang's mother said happily.
The family gathers together in a harmonious and warm atmosphere. Xiao Fang looked at the warm picture in front of her, and felt extremely relieved and happy in her heart. She knew that this gathering of relatives would be a wonderful time.
After returning home, Zhang Fan's parents began to look around Xiaofang and Zhang Fan's home, making sounds of admiration from time to time. Xiao Fang could see that they were very happy with the nest.
"Oh, your house is so nicely decorated, very tasteful! Zhang Fan's mother praised sincerely.
"Of course, I've put a lot of thought into it. Sit down and rest, and I'll make you a cup of hot tea. Xiao Fang was warmly welcomed.
In contrast, Xiaofang's parents are much kinder. They don't have much to say about Xiaofang and Zhang Fan's lives, but rather appreciate their lifestyles.
"Your house is beautifully decorated and tasteful. Our previous house wasn't so elaborate. Xiao Fang's father exclaimed.
"Yes, your lifestyle is also very good, and the schedule is very reasonable. We didn't have the same regularity as you did before. Xiaofang's mother also nodded repeatedly.
Sometimes, Xiaofang's parents will also take the initiative to help with household chores, such as washing clothes and cooking. Xiao Fang and Zhang Fan are grateful for their help.
"Mom, Dad, I'm so embarrassed to let you help with the housework. Rest quickly, we'll do it. Xiao Fang hurriedly said.
"Nothing, we're happy to help. You're so busy at work, and we want to share some of it for you. Xiaofang's father said with a smile.
However, Xiaofang can also feel that her parents are a little worried, worried that the two of them may have some difficulty living independently. Sometimes, they will inadvertently remind Xiaofang to take good care of herself and go home more often.
"Xiaofang, you two have to take good care of yourselves, don't get too tired. Feel free to let us know if you need any help. Xiaofang's mother said with concern.
"Well, I know, thank you for your concern. We'll take good care of ourselves. Xiaofang said gratefully.
In contrast, Zhang Fan's parents are much stricter. They felt that the furnishings of Xiaofang and Zhang Fan's home were too simple, and said that they should add some more high-end furniture. Or, they think that Xiaofang and Zhang Fan's schedules are too late, and they always ask them to go to bed early.
"Why is your home so simple? You should buy some more high-end furniture, so that it is more classy. Zhang Fan's mother said with a frown.
"Mom, we are very satisfied with our lives now, and there is no need to deliberately pursue luxury. We prefer this simple and comfortable lifestyle. Zhang Fan patiently explained.
"But, you're too late, aren't you? You should go to bed early, it's not good for your health. Zhang Fan's father also chimed in.
"Dad, our schedule is actually quite regular, not too late. We all pay attention to our daily routines. Xiao Fang also explained.
Sometimes, Xiaofang and Zhang Fan would have some small arguments with their in-laws about these issues, but they would eventually reconcile.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, the contradiction between the in-laws and Xiaofang's parents quietly heated up. One day, Xiaofang was cooking in the kitchen when she suddenly heard the sound of an argument coming from the living room. She hurried out and saw her in-laws and parents arguing fiercely.
"I said you should buy them some more upscale furniture to make their lives more tasteful. Zhang Fan's mother insisted.
"However, their lives are already very good, so why do they have to pursue luxury? Xiaofang's mother retorted.
"What? You say our life is simple? Why don't you understand, we want them to have a better life!" Zhang Fan's father also joined the debate.
"A good life doesn't have to be luxurious, it's important to be happy and content. Why don't you understand?" Xiao Fang's father also said excitedly.
The two sides are-for-tat, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense. Xiao Fang and Zhang Fan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, but neither side seemed willing to back down. In the end, the dispute inevitably escalates into a heated quarrel.
Seeing her in-laws and parents arguing, Xiaofang and Zhang Fan felt very helpless. They know that the root of this quarrel is the different perceptions of their way of life on both sides.
"Dad, Mom, in-laws, we know that you all care about us. However, we hope that you will understand and respect our choice. Although our life is simple now, we are already very satisfied, and there is no need to deliberately pursue luxury. On the contrary, we prefer to have more time and energy to do the things we love and live the life we want. Xiao Fang said sincerely.
After listening to Xiaofang's explanation, the in-laws and parents finally had some understanding. They realized that Xiao Fang and Zhang Fan's way of life was not based on incompetence, but out of independent choice. As a result, they gradually let go of some requirements and expectations for Xiaofang and Zhang Fan's lives, and began to respect their choice.
Since then, the atmosphere in which Xiaofang's family gets along has become more harmonious. The in-laws and parents began to take the initiative to help Xiaofang and Zhang Fan with housework, and they no longer gave too much advice on their lifestyle. Everyone learned to understand and tolerate each other, adding more happiness to this warm family.

One day, Xiaofang's parents offered to help with the cooking.
"Xiaofang, let me and your dad cook today, and you two have a good rest. Xiaofang's mother said enthusiastically.
"Thank you so much, Mom and Dad. You think you're cooking in your own home, and you can do whatever you want. Xiaofang said happily.
Xiaofang's parents were busy in the kitchen, and from time to time there was a burst of enticing fragrance. Xiaofang and Zhang Fan sat in the living room, feeling this rare leisure time.
"Looks like my parents are happy to help. Zhang Fan said with a smile.
"yes, they're so nice. I am so blessed that we have such a wonderful family. Xiaofang said sincerely.
At this moment, Zhang Fan's parents also came over.
"Kids, let's help too. Rest well, we'll take care of you. Zhang Fan's mother said enthusiastically.
"Mom, that's so thankful. With your help, we can enjoy this rare rest. Zhang Fan said gratefully.
The family was busy in the kitchen, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time. Xiao Fang looked at the warm picture in front of her, and felt extremely happy and satisfied in her heart.
"I'm so lucky to have such a great family. Xiao Fang sighed secretly.
Just then, the meal was finally ready. Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at the table together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Wow, this dish is so delicious! Mom and Dad, you guys are really good cooks. Xiao Fang exclaimed.
"Haha, of course! We've put a lot of work into it. Eat it, you're welcome. Xiaofang's father said with a smile.
The family chatted while eating, talking and laughing. Xiaofang felt the warmth of her family, and an indescribable sense of happiness surged in her heart.
"I'm so blessed to have such a good family. Xiao Fang secretly sighed.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a long time in the living room. The in-laws and parents finally let go of some of their requirements for Xiaofang and Zhang Fan's lifestyle and began to respect their choices.
"Your lifestyle is really good, and we used to be too stubborn. In the future, we will definitely learn more from your attitude towards life. Zhang Fan's father said sincerely.
"Yes, we will also help you with household chores in the future, so that you can have more time to do the things you love. Xiaofang's mother also said.
"Thank you for your understanding and support. We will continue to work hard to make life more fulfilling and happy. Xiaofang said sincerely.
The family understands and tolerates each other, adding more happiness to this warm family. Xiaofang felt the love of her family, and her heart was filled with great happiness and satisfaction.
At this moment, Xiaofang's mobile phone rang, and it was her good friend calling.
"Hey, Xiaofang, how are you doing? I heard that your parents and in-laws are here, the house must be very lively, right?" My friend said excitedly.
"Yes, it's so lively! We got along very well as a family, and everyone was very happy. Xiao Fang said with a smile.

Xiaofang believes that as long as everyone upholds an attitude of understanding and tolerance, the family will become happier and happier.
Just after Xiaofang and her friend finished talking on the phone, Zhang Fan's parents also came over.
"Xiaofang, were you chatting with a friend just now?" Zhang Fan's mother asked.
"Oh, yes? Then you should definitely invite her to play and let her feel the warmth of our place. Zhang Fan's mother said enthusiastically.
"Mom, I've already told her that I'll definitely invite her to play when you go back. Xiaofang said happily.

"Hey, it's me. How are you doing?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
"Oh, it's you! I've been fine, and I've had a great time lately. Xiaofang said happily.
