When my husband and I first got married, we rented a small house in the city and started a world for two. At that time, we were all young people who had just entered the society, and our economic conditions were limited, so we rented a small house of only 40 square meters. The house is not big, but the decoration is quite cozy, we planted some flowers and plants on the balcony, and newly bought furniture and appliances in the living room. My husband goes to work and I work as a clerk in a small company. At first, we were not very Xi to the rhythm of life with only two people, and sometimes we would quarrel over household chores or differences. But most of the time, we try to be considerate of each other and learn how to get along better.
Mother-in-law Li Yunxiang is a very elder. When I first arrived at her house, she welcomed me warmly:"Xiaomei, thank you for your hard work!Come on, take a sip of hot water and take a break. By the way, whatever you like to eat, I'll make it for you!"
I was a little embarrassed, my mother-in-law was too enthusiastic about me, and I didn't Xi it too much. "Mother-in-law, you can be busy with yours first, I can do anything, I'm not a picky eater. "
Okay, okay, then Xiaomei, you can rest at home first. If you need anything, just tell me!"The mother-in-law returned to the kitchen with a smile on her face and began to prepare dinner.
After I stayed at my in-law's house for two weeks, the baby in my belly became more and more presence. I always felt that my appetite was not good, and I felt a little nauseous. I couldn't take a few bites of the meal that my mother-in-law prepared for me. I knew it was a normal reaction to morning sickness, but I felt sorry for my mother-in-law in the face of the meals she had cooked with her heart.
One day at noon, my mother-in-law specially cooked a plate of fish for me. "Xiaomei, this nine-thorn fish is very fresh, good for pregnant women, you eat more!"I smiled reluctantly, and under my mother-in-law's expectant gaze, I ate only a small piece of fish. "Mother-in-law, I will feel uncomfortable eating too much now, I will eat more another day. "The mother-in-law's smile froze, and then she said:"Also, it doesn't matter if you can't eat it now, I'll divide the fish for you, and eat it when it's hot at night. "
I know my mother-in-law has good intentions, but I really can't eat such greasy food. With such a scene of guilt, I became a little irritable. What's more, the environment of my in-law's house is different from my own home after all, and I can't get used to sleeping in my mother-in-law's bed, I feel that it is too hard. During the day, my in-laws and relatives often come to visit my family, and I can't take a lunch break. My mother-in-law's dog often barks at night, which makes me sleep badly.
My irritable mother-in-law also noticed it. Once she asked me with concern:"Xiaomei, have you not been feeling well lately?I don't think you're in good spirits. "
I couldn't help but say:"Maybe I'm not used to Xi your house. I can't sleep in bed, and I can't rest quietly during the day. "
The mother-in-law smiled and said:"Also, the shoes you're wearing don't fit well, do they?Come, Mom will put an extra cushion on your bed, close the door for you at night, and I will sleep in a small room outside tonight, so as not to disturb you. "
I listened to my mother-in-law's words, and I felt sorry for her, but I was still a little dissatisfied:"Mother-in-law, don't embarrass yourself, I think it's more comfortable to go back to your own home. You see, the food prepared for me these days is not quite in line with my appetite, and I feel uncomfortable eating it. "
I saw my mother-in-law's face change, and I regretted that what I had just said was too direct. Before I could say anything, my mother-in-law said, "It's okay, it's my mother who doesn't take care of me, if you have anything you don't Xi used to, just tell your mother, don't hold it in your heart." You can rest for a while, and your mother will cook you what you want to eat at night. With that, she hurried out of the room.
I sat on the edge of the bed, my mind in turmoil. I knew that my emotional instability was the cause of pregnancy, but venting my dissatisfaction with my mother-in-law just now was indeed excessive. My mother-in-law has always cared for me, and I shouldn't have broken her heart so much.
At dinner in the evening, I tried to eat more dishes made by my mother-in-law. The mother-in-law didn't ask for warmth as usual, but silently brought new dishes one by one. I felt like she was testing my tastes, but I couldn't eat much today. In the end, the mother-in-law had red eyes, said that her skills were not good, and put away all the meals that were almost untouched.
I blamed myself and wanted to explain to my mother-in-law the cause of my morning sickness, but as soon as I opened my mouth, she said, "I understand, you don't need to explain, you have been wronged." "I could see that my mother-in-law was very sad, but she still took care of me. I was at a loss for what to do, so I decided to wait for my husband to come back in the evening and discuss it with him.
In the evening, when my husband came home, I told him about what happened during the day. He was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Mom is so good to you, how can you say such things?"."I also felt very sorry not to go, saying that I might be emotionally unstable during pregnancy and unreasonable to my mother-in-law. My husband was silent for a while, and said, "Maybe it's more comfortable to move back to our own house." But if you stay for a few more days, you must learn to be considerate of your mother, and don't say anything that hurts her heart. ”
Another week or so later, when I was preparing dinner, I accidentally broke one of my mother-in-law's favorite plates. When my mother-in-law heard the voice and came out to see it, I could only tell her that I was sorry with red eyes. The mother-in-law didn't say anything, just sighed, turned around and went back to the room to get a broom.
I looked at my mother-in-law's tired back and blamed myself very much. During this time, my mother-in-law has lost a lot of weight and produced a lot of gray hair, and I know how much this is because of me.
That night, when my husband came home, I told him again about the day. My husband didn't blame me this time, but sighed and said, "Mom, she's old, don't always make her sad." Well, I'll send you back to our house tomorrow so that Mom can rest for a while. ”
I asked my husband to apologize to my mother-in-law and express my gratitude and apologies before moving back to my own house. My husband nodded and said it was a good idea.
Dear mother-in-law:
Ever since I came to your house, you have taken care of me and treated me like your own daughter. But because I was in a bad mood during pregnancy, I said a lot of hurtful things to you, and I often made trouble. I know that what I've done during this time has hurt you deeply. Now that I think about it, I feel very guilty and guilty. Not only did you work hard to cook for me, but you also took care of my daily life. And not only did I fail to understand your suffering, but I was picky everywhere. It's my fault. I'm really sorry.
I guess you must be sad. I understand that you must be worried about my health and the health of my baby, so you will try to take care of me in any way you can. I see it all in my eyes and remember it in my heart. You will always be that loving, selfless mother-in-law to me. Although I didn't behave well, I really appreciate you.
In our family, you have always been our most dear elder, and your meticulous love has embraced each of us. I understand that your dedication is selfless motherly love. Although I am still young and have many immature areas to Xi, I will remember your kindness to me.
Dear mother-in-law, I would like to solemnly say sorry to you, sorry, and please forgive me for being unreasonable during this time. I will always remember how much you took care of me. You will always be my dearest mother-in-law.
Your daughter-in-law Xiaomei 20 years, months and days".
After a while, the mother-in-law got up. She was a little surprised to see the letter on the table. "What is this?She looked at me.
Mother-in-law, I have written a letter to you, please be sure to read it. I said earnestly.
The mother-in-law slowly opened the envelope and read it. As she read, her eyes grew redder and redder, and tears rolled in her eyes. I followed the change in her expression, and a strong sense of remorse rose in my heart.
After reading the letter, my mother-in-law raised her head with tears in her eyes, she didn't speak, and silently came over and hugged me. I also hugged my mother-in-law, and finally couldn't hold back the tears.
Our mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, both saying sorry. From my mother-in-law's words and hugs, I felt her unreserved love. Today's crying washed away our previous misunderstandings, and I once again felt the warmth of being a wife and a mother.
A few days later, accompanied by my husband, I returned to my home. Although my mother-in-law was reluctant, she still respected my choice and told her husband to take good care of me.
I returned to the familiar environment, and the psychological burden was much less. But on the other hand, I began to miss my mother-in-law's care. I will often call home and tell my mother-in-law that my baby and I are all right. My mother-in-law will often call me and tell me all the details of my diet and daily life. I listened to my mother-in-law's familiar voice and felt a long-lost sense of relief.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye I'm about to give birth. According to Chinese Xi, I still go back to my mother-in-law's house and let my mother-in-law take care of me through the most critical stage of labor.
When I returned to my mother-in-law's house with my big belly, my mother-in-law had already cleaned up everything. She smiled and said, "Come on, come on, let mom take care of you and the baby!."”
I smiled brightly at my mother-in-law. Through previous misunderstandings, our relationship became more intimate. I began to truly appreciate how hard it is to be a mother.
My mother-in-law carefully prepares all kinds of nutritious food for me every day, and cooks all kinds of soups for me herself. I know that she hopes to supplement the baby's nutrition through food to ensure the safety of our mother and child. Once I said to my mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, you have worked hard, I can't eat so much, don't worry about it." ”
The mother-in-law touched the head of the ** and said, "My good daughter-in-law, let my mother make something for you and the baby." Your safety is my mother's greatest wish. I listened to the warmth in my heart, nodded and said, "Then I will listen to you, I will eat whatever you say." ”
Such warm little clips appear frequently, and my relationship with my mother-in-law is getting more and more harmonious. My mother-in-law took care of me as if I was her own daughter, and I reciprocated with gratitude and filial piety.
Finally, on a night of thunder and lightning, I painfully completed the labor in the company of my mother-in-law. The mother-in-law stayed outside the delivery room the whole time, and she was not relieved until the doctor told her that the mother and child were safe.
Mother-in-law, you have worked hard, and your granddaughter was born safely!I said to my mother-in-law tired but happy.
My mother-in-law choked up and nodded, took my hand and said, "Good boy, you have worked hard too." Mother-in-law is here to accompany you, if you need anything, just say. ”
The moment I got my baby, I suddenly understood what it was like to be a mother. I finally realized that my mother-in-law's previous care for me was all out of love for her daughter and grandson.
After I got home from the hospital, my mother-in-law stayed with me every night when I got up to feed my baby. She was light-hearted, for fear of waking up the baby, and then looked at the baby with a smile, as if she was looking at her own baby.
I will also see my future in my mother-in-law. When I also become an old man and a mother-in-law, I will definitely love my children and grandchildren as much as she did.
