On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Li and Chen Guohua planned to have dinner with relatives and friends. Xu Li carefully prepared all kinds of delicacies, and also cleaned the house in advance, so as to prepare for the upcoming relatives and friends. However, the atmosphere at the dinner table quickly became tense.
Wang, one of the relatives, jokingly mentioned a work problem with Chen Guohua, which made Chen Guohua feel unhappy. Xu Li saw that her husband's face was wrong and wanted to round the field, so she laughed softly and said, "Lao Wang, Guohua is still working very hard at work, don't talk nonsense." However, when Chen Guohua heard his wife's words, he felt that his dignity was threatened. He immediately retorted, "I don't need you to speak for me!" ”
Xu Li was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Chen Guohua to react like this in front of everyone. Her mood sank instantly, but in order not to embarrass the scene, she chose to remain silent. After the dinner, Xu Li and Chen Guohua returned home, Xu Li thought that the matter would be over, but Chen Guohua asked Xu Li with a serious face: "What do you mean by talking like that in front of your relatives just now?" ”
Xu Li explained puzzledly: "I just want to ease the atmosphere, haven't you always cared about the relationship with your relatives?" Chen Guohua was still displeased: "Do you think that by helping me speak like this, you are protecting my face?" When Xu Li heard this, she felt a grievance in her heart, she just wanted to help Chen Guohua, but she didn't expect to be misunderstood.
The two had a fierce quarrel over this, Xu Li felt innocent, but Chen Guohua insisted that Xu Li's words and deeds made him lose face in front of relatives and friends. The quarrel lasted for a long time, and neither of them backed down, and Xu Li felt very angry and aggrieved.
In the end, Chen Guohua felt that he might have gone too far and took the initiative to talk to Xu Li. He said sincerely: "Xu Li, I may be too sensitive. Actually, I know you're doing it for my good, but I really don't like being provoked. Xu Li heard Chen Guohua's words and finally understood his feelings.
She responded: "Guohua, in fact, I have always been on your side. I didn't want you to embarrass you in front of your relatives and friends, so I tried to lighten the mood. It seems that my way is making you uncomfortable, and I will pay attention to it later. When Chen Guohua heard Xu Li's words, he felt guilty in his heart, and he said apologetically: "It's that I didn't take into account your position, and we will face these situations together next time." ”
Xu Li nodded, and the two finally reached an agreement and understood each other's positions. Although the quarrel on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year was unpleasant for the two, this candid conversation allowed them to understand each other's thoughts better. In the end, they decided to work together to learn to communicate better in the days to come and avoid misunderstandings caused by face problems.
