The sky was filled with a faint mist, as if reflecting the confusion in my heart. I, Wang Xiumei, walked out of the hustle and bustle of the city in the wind and stepped on the train back to my hometown. This time I returned to my hometown, but with a heavy heart, full of expectations and longing for my family.
The newlywed daughter-in-law returned to her son Li Ming's house, but found that the warmth of home seemed to have changed. At first, I thought it was a prelude to a happy life, but in the end, I realized that I was nothing more than a ruthless comedy.
I took the initiative to take care of my pregnant daughter-in-law, Xiaoli. During her pregnancy, I endured her temper and vexatious fuss, but my heart was full of beautiful expectations for future happiness. Perhaps, it was my responsibility as a mother, I told myself.
With the arrival of my grandson, my life has become even busier. In order to take care of my daughter-in-law's confinement and take care of my grandchildren, I put in more effort. However, in this family, I gradually felt that I had become a passive character, like a quietly dedicated servant. My daughter-in-law pointed fingers at me, and my son became much more distant.
Mom, don't worry about these all the time, Xiaoli can do it herself. Take a break. My son's words were like a cold wind, and I felt a chill in my heart.
But the saddest thing for me is my grandson's birthday. In order to celebrate his birthday, I took great pains to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes. Looking forward to the praise and smiles of my family, I saw the disgusted expressions on my son and daughter-in-law's faces.
Why are there so many dishes on this table, it doesn't look delicious. Daughter-in-law Xiaoli said disdainfully.
I tried my best to suppress the loss in my heart, and said with a smile: "It's my grandson's birthday, a little more lively." ”
However, my son looked at me with disgust: "Mom, didn't you say that you only invited your in-laws, why did you call so many people?."”
I didn't dare to let them know, so in order to make the scene look good, I hurriedly called ** and invited my in-laws to come. The two extra dishes were made by me silently. However, my son and daughter-in-law seemed to be invisible, unaware of my hard work.
When I got home, I sat alone on the balcony and watched the night in the distance. What is in my heart is not only endless bitterness, but also helplessness and questions about my son and daughter-in-law. Am I a**wrong?Is everything I give just taken for granted?
Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, it was a call from my in-laws. On the other end, there was a burst of laughter and greetings. I forced a smile so that they would not perceive the bitterness in my heart. Perhaps, I am just a guest in this family, not worth mentioning.
The next day, I was standing on the platform of the station as the train slowly rolled in. I didn't look back, and I didn't say goodbye. Perhaps, this was the best decision I ever made.
Back in his hometown, life began to slowly return to peace. The fresh air of the countryside and the rustic folk customs make me feel peaceful. Despite the simplicity of my life, I found myself. With my family by my side, I regained the energy of my life and regained my anticipation for the future.
Perhaps, I really don't fit into the hustle and bustle of the city, but more for this quiet land. In this small village, I rediscovered my love for life. Perhaps, happiness does not always appear where it is most expected. I began to accept it all and live a simple and happy life.
