I'm Li Juan, an ordinary housewife. My husband and I have been married for ten years, and we have a lovely son, Xiaobao, and a mother-in-law, an older brother and a younger brother. We live in an old mansion in a small city, and we live a dull life every day.
The New Year is approaching, and at this time, the whole family will get together and have a lively reunion. However, the end of the year was a bit of a rough one. My mother-in-law always nagged me to go back to my parents' house for the Chinese New Year, but I was a little hesitant about it.
"Juan'er, it's the New Year, you should go home to see your parents." My mother-in-law said to me while drying her clothes in the yard.
I took the mop in my hand and replied while mopping the floor, "Mom, this...... I don't really want to go back. ”
"Why don't you want to go back? Your parents haven't seen you in months. The mother-in-law's tone was a little angry.
I felt a little sad in my heart, but I still insisted: "Mom, I have a family here, I have Xiaobao, I don't really want to leave." ”
"Hmph, you don't want to go back for this little thing?" The mother-in-law snorted coldly, "Look at your brother, he goes home every year for the New Year, why don't you study?" ”
I sighed, knowing that the topic was going to be debated again. I struggled in my heart, remembering how good my parents were when I was a child, and thinking about Xiaobao and my husband at home, I was really in a dilemma.
"Juan'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so unhappy when you get home? My husband came over and couldn't help but ask when he saw me frowning.
"It's nothing, it's just that my mother asked me to go home for the New Year, and I was a little hesitant." I sighed softly.
"It's right to go home for the New Year, and your parents are looking forward to your return." My husband reassured.
I nodded, but still a little reluctant. At this time, my mother-in-law interjected again: "Yes, I told her a long time ago, but she just didn't listen." ”
I glared at my mother-in-law, and my heart was even more unhappy. At this time, Xiaobao ran out of the house and handed me a note: "Mom, this is what Grandma asked me to give to you." ”
I took the note and opened it to see that it was a letter written by my mother-in-law. I looked at the contents, and my heart became even more entangled. The letter said that my mother-in-law repeatedly told me to go home for the Chinese New Year, saying that I could not be absent when my family was reunited.
I bit my lip and my heart was in turmoil. I think of the care and love of my parents when I was a child, and I think of my mother-in-law's care for me and Xiaobao, it is really difficult to choose.
I decided to go home to see my parents first, so I discussed the itinerary with my husband and prepared to go back to the countryside for the Chinese New Year. When I told my mother-in-law that I was going home, her expression was a little complicated, and she seemed to be both happy and a little reluctant.
"Mom, I've discussed it with my husband, and we plan to go back to see my parents first, and then come back." I tried to ease my mother-in-law's displeasure.
"Hmph, what do you mean by that?" The mother-in-law's voice was a little angry, "Am I not your family?" You go back to see your parents, I don't have to worry about my mother, right? ”
I hurriedly explained: "Mom, you misunderstood, I was thinking that my parents are old, so go back and see them first." ”
My husband also hurriedly came out to play a round: "Mom, don't be angry, our return is only temporary, and we will definitely rush back to celebrate the New Year with you." ”
Seeing our sincerity, the anger on my mother-in-law's face gradually subsided a little: "Okay, you guys go, remember to come back early." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at my husband gratefully. We hurriedly packed our bags, took Xiaobao with us, and set off for home.
When I returned home in the countryside, my parents were very happy to see me, and their faces were full of smiles. They pulled my husband and me into the house and asked us about our life in the city as we brought out our meals.
"Juan'er, you look a little thinner, are you too busy?" Mom asked worriedly.
I smiled and shook my head: "It's okay Mom, it's just that there are a lot of things at home." ”
Dad looked at me and sighed, "Life in your city is just different, there are so many things to do. ”
I nodded, feeling a little guilty. When I returned to the countryside, I realized that I hadn't spent a long time with my parents. During this time, I have been busy with family and work, and I rarely have time to come back to see them.
In the past few days at home, my husband and I have tried to stay with our parents, help them with housework, chat, and feel the warmth of home. Mom and Dad were also very happy to see us like this, telling jokes to amuse us and telling us funny stories from our childhood.
Gradually, I realized that it had been a long time since I had such a relaxed and happy New Year. In the city, the Chinese New Year is busy shopping, preparing New Year's goods, and there is no homely atmosphere and warmth.
At this time, I also began to understand why my mother-in-law wanted me to go home for the Chinese New Year. Home is not only a place, but also an emotional sustenance, and the care and care between relatives. I am grateful for my mother-in-law's concern, but I also feel that I should not have it.
That's when I got a call from my mother-in-law. Hearing her gentle voice, I felt a little guilty.
"Juan'er, how are you doing at home?" The mother-in-law asked with concern.
I hurriedly comforted: "Mother-in-law, we are doing well at home, and my parents are also very happy. ”
The mother-in-law smiled: "That's good, you can accompany your parents at home, and remember to come back quickly after the New Year." ”
I nodded, "Well, we will." ”
I hung up the phone, and I felt a pang of guilt. My mother-in-law has always been so kind to me and Xiaobao, but I always think about my own things and don't think about her feelings. I decided to make it up to her when I went back and let her know how much I cherished her.
When I got back to the city, I felt much more relaxed. My husband and I discussed it and decided to surprise my mother-in-law before the Chinese New Year to show our gratitude.
"Husband, let's find a way to surprise my mother-in-law." I said excitedly to my husband.
My husband frowned: "What a surprise method?" ”
I thought about it and smiled: "We can cook a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meal for my mother-in-law, and then give her a special gift." ”
My husband nodded: "That's a good idea, let's start preparing now." ”
So, we began to work intensively on the preparations. My husband and I discussed the recipe and then went to the market to buy ingredients. Back at home, I started to get busy, busy preparing various dishes for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Seeing that we were so busy, my mother-in-law asked curiously, "What are you busy with?" ”
I smiled and said to my mother-in-law, "Mom, we are going to surprise you and cook you a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight." ”
The mother-in-law was very happy to hear this: "Oh, it's so good, you guys are so caring." ”
My husband and I hurriedly put on a look that the hard work paid off and started the cooking work. Stir-frying, roasting meat, boiling soup, all kinds of dishes are served on the table one by one, and the aroma is overflowing.
The mother-in-law looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Oh, there are so many delicious foods, I don't know where to start." ”
I smiled and said, "Mom, you eat slowly, we have another surprise for you." ”
The mother-in-law asked curiously, "What surprise?" ”
My husband and I looked at each other, then took out a beautiful gift box from the cabinet and handed it to my mother-in-law: "This is a New Year's gift for you, I hope you like it." ”
The mother-in-law took the gift box and opened it to see that there was a beautiful necklace inside. She held the necklace in surprise and praised it again and again: "Oh, this necklace is so beautiful, how can I be willing to wear it?" ”
I smiled and said, "Mom, this is our heart, please take it." ”
My mother-in-law's eyes were a little moist, and she hugged me tightly: "Silly child, you are so good, I am so happy to have a daughter-in-law like you." ”
My husband and I also felt warm in our hearts when we saw my mother-in-law's happy smile. The warmth and happiness of this home make me feel that everything is worth it.
After dinner, our family sat around the living room, drinking tea and chatting. My mother-in-law took out a photo album that recorded the bits and pieces of our family.
"Juan'er, look, this is a picture of you when you were a child." My mother-in-law smiled and handed me a photo.
I took the photo, looked at myself above, and couldn't help but smile: "This was all many years ago." ”
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Yes, time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, you are already a mother." ”
My mother-in-law and I flipped through the photo album and chatted about family life, as if we had returned to the warm time in the past. At this time, I suddenly felt that the emotions between family members are so precious, and we must cherish and protect this emotion, so that the warmth of the family will always exist.
After the Chinese New Year, my husband and I returned to the city and started a new year's life. But in my heart, I miss my family even more. Whenever I am under pressure at work, I think of my family's smiles, and my heart suddenly warms.
I decided that I would work harder to accompany my family in the future so that the happiness of my family would last forever. This is my commitment to myself and my family, and my gratitude to my mother-in-law.
After the Chinese New Year, my relationship with my family has become more harmonious. Every weekend, we arrange some family activities, go out together or watch a movie at home, and enjoy the warmth of family bonding.
One day, I was cooking at home when I suddenly received a phone call. It was my mom calling.
"Juan'er, how are you doing?" On the other end of the line, my mother's anxious voice came.
I smiled and said, "Mom, I've been doing well lately, how about you?" ”
"I'm okay here, but my dad hasn't been feeling well lately, can you come over and have a look if you have time?" Mom said worriedly.
I immediately agreed: "Okay, Mom, I'll discuss it with my husband right away, and we'll go over as soon as possible." ”
After hanging up the phone, I immediately discussed it with my husband, and then drove to my hometown in the countryside.
When we arrived at our hometown, my father was very happy to see us, and a bright smile bloomed on his face: "Juan'er, you are here." ”
I stepped forward and patted my dad's hand gently, "Dad, how are you doing?" ”
Dad shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a little headache." ”
I frowned, a little worried: "Dad, what's the matter with your headache?" Have you ever been to the hospital? ”
Dad smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a slight headache, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
I looked at my dad with anxiety and decided to take him to the hospital for a check-up.
The next day, we went to the hospital early in the morning, and the doctor gave my dad a detailed examination and finally came to the conclusion that my dad had mild high blood pressure. The doctor prescribed some medication to my father and told him to pay attention to rest and diet.
Dad took the medicine and said with emotion: "As I get older, my health is really getting worse and worse." ”
I gently patted my father's hand: "Dad, you must pay attention to your body in the future, we all hope that you can live a long and healthy life." ”
Dad nodded: "I know, I'll pay attention to it later." ”
Back at home, I discussed it with my husband and decided to take my parents to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up to make sure they were healthy.
A few days later, our family went to the hospital for a comprehensive medical check-up. The doctor gave a detailed examination to my parents, and the final results were all normal, but my father needed to take regular medicine and pay attention to his diet, and there were no major problems with everything else.
Back home, Dad breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a big problem, I'll pay more attention to it in the future." ”
Mom also smiled and said, "Yes, at our age, the body is the most important." ”
My husband and I were very relieved to see our parents like this. We decided to spend more time with our parents in the future, care about their physical health, and let them live a happy and healthy life.
My parents' health problems have been solved, and I am relieved. Every day I would call them to ask them about their physical condition and tell them to take care of their rest and diet.
Thanks to the joint efforts of my family and me, our family's life has become happier and more fulfilling. My relationship with my husband has also deepened, and we support each other to face the difficulties and challenges in life together.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the annual Spring Festival again. This year's Spring Festival, we decided to have a good reunion at home. My husband and I cleaned up the house and prepared a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to welcome the arrival of the new year.
Mom and Dad also came, and they walked into the house with a lot of New Year's goods and a smile. Seeing their smiles warms my heart.
"Juan'er, look, I brought you some souvenirs." Mom took out some local specialties and said with a smile as she handed them to me.
I took the specialty and praised it again and again: "Mom, you guys have worked really hard, these things look delicious." ”
Dad also smiled and said, "This is our heart, I hope you have a happy New Year." ”
I looked at my parents gratefully, and my heart was filled with emotion and happiness.
In the evening, our family sat around the table and enjoyed a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The table is filled with a variety of delicacies, steaming hot and fragrant.
"Daughter-in-law, your cooking is so delicious." The mother-in-law praised.
I smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you are too polite, this is all as it should be." ”
Dad picked up the wine glass and said to us, "Son, daughter-in-law, Mom and Dad are really happy to be able to celebrate the New Year with you. ”
My husband and I hurriedly raised our glasses and said, "Mom and Dad, you have worked hard, and we are very happy to be able to celebrate the New Year with you." ”
Everyone toasted together and wished each other happiness and well-being.
After dinner, our family sat around the living room, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, chatting at the same time. Mom and Dad told us some interesting stories about their youth, which made us laugh.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's midnight. We stood in front of the window together as a family, watching the fireworks go off outside, wishing the new year.
I closed my eyes and felt the warmth of my family, and my heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness. At this moment, I feel that no matter what happens in the future, as long as I am with my family, I am the happiest person.
