Today is the day when my son Xiao Ming came to pick me up and go to his house for the elderly. I've been in a high mood these days and can't sleep at night. Finally looking forward to this day!
Mom, are you packing your luggage?Xiao Ming opened the door and greeted me.
It's all packed, just this big box and handbag. I pointed to the two boxes in the doorway.
Okay, I'll move to the car. Mom, you're fine, don't be too tired on the road. Xiao Ming said as he picked up the box and walked out the door.
Mom, let it pass. My family is a big place, the environment is good, and my daughter-in-law and I take care of you, which is much better than here. Xiao Ming put the box in the trunk of the car and turned back to me.
I nodded, stepped forward and hugged Xiao Ming: "Son, Mom will leave it to you." Let's go, let's hit the road!”
Xiao Ming started the car, I sat in the passenger seat, watched the old house fade away, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and began to look forward to a new life.
After driving for more than half an hour, I noticed that the scenery on both sides of the road was becoming more and more unfamiliar: "Are we going off the wrong road?"I don't know each other at all. ”
It's not off the road, Mom, it's very smooth, maybe you haven't walked much here before. Xiao Ming said with a smile. I nodded and continued to enjoy the view from the window.
After a while, Xiao Ming suddenly said: "By the way, Mom, there is another person in the back of the car, you can get to know each other when you get home in a while." ”
I was surprised, and turned my head to look at the back seat of the car, and there was indeed a middle-aged woman sitting there. She smiled politely at me, and I nodded awkwardly in response. What's going on?Why didn't Xiao Ming tell me before?
Mom, she is my mother-in-law, Aunt Lin!Xiao Ming said with a smile.
I was even more surprised: "Your mother-in-law?".Why is she here?”
Mom, don't get excited. I was going to pick you up and take you home first, and then tell you about it slowly. I didn't expect you to meet on the road. Xiao Ming was also a little at a loss.
I don't care!Anyway, I will never live with your mother-in-law!Son, you're pushing me!I slapped my thigh hard and said firmly.
Mom, listen to me!Xiao Ming begged bitterly.
Explain what?This matter is already clear, there is no need to explain anything!"I turned my head away, not wanting to see Xiao Ming again.
Mom, just listen to Xiao Ming's words. At this time, the mother-in-law also opened her mouth to persuade.
Don't talk about it!If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so angry!"As soon as I heard my mother-in-law's words, I became even more angry.
Don't talk about it!Xiao Ming hit the steering wheel hard, and the car shook violently, so scared that my mother-in-law and I lost our voices.
Xiao Ming slowly parked the car to the side of the road and turned off the engine. There was a dead silence in the car.
I still tilted my head away from him. Xiao Ming continued: "Mom, I know that you don't have a good relationship with your mother-in-law, and you may need a process of adaptation. But this is the best solution at the moment. When you get home, the conditions will be better, so you can accept it slowly. ”
Mom, you should treat her like a stranger. I will take care of your daily life, you live in your own room, use your own things, and your mother-in-law will not disturb you. We're like neighbors, okay if we don't interfere with each other?Xiao Ming persuaded softly.
I wiped my tears and didn't speak. I know that living with my mother-in-law is the most logical arrangement for the current situation. But it hit me so hard that I couldn't accept it psychologically right away.
After a long while, I sighed heavily and wiped away my tears.
Son, Mom understands your difficult choice. As it stands, it's not wrong for the three of us to live together and take care of each other. I looked at Xiao Ming and said.
Mom!Xiao Ming shouted happily.
But son, you also have to understand your mother's feelings. Living under the same roof in the face of the people I least like the most has had a big impact on my life. So you must make good on your promise and give me a separate space and living room. My tone was still a little serious.
I promise Mom!I will give you the best care, you will live in your own room, if you need anything, just tell me and my daughter-in-law. Xiao Ming excitedly held my hand with both hands and said solemnly.
Okay, okay, mom knows. I nodded, looking at Ming suspiciously.
Aunt Lin, I couldn't help it just now, my attitude was too bad. From now on, don't pay attention to me, don't talk to me, let's just treat it coldly. I turned my head and said to my mother-in-law.
Aunt Zhang, you are joking, we live together like a family, don't see each other like this. If you need anything, just tell me, I'll do my best!Although the mother-in-law still had a flattering tone, it was a little more natural than just now.
Okay, okay, let's not delay here, hurry home before dark!"Xiao Ming started the car again, and we were on the road again.
When I arrived at Xiao Ming's house, it was already evening, and I watched my son and daughter-in-law busy carrying their luggage, and a warm current rose in my heart. Although the environment is far from ideal, after all, having a family reunion is the greatest happiness.
After dinner, Xiao Ming and his wife patiently took me on a tour of our new home. Compared to my dilapidated nest, the conditions here are really much better, and the living is very comfortable and spacious.
Before going to bed, I sat alone by the window of my room, looking out the window at the plane trees and street lamps. Life is changing dramatically, and I have to learn to face and accept it. Having children by your side and hope for your twilight life is the greatest blessing. I believe that the existence of my mother-in-law is, after all, a small episode and a mistake. Tomorrow is still a good day!
