My father-in-law suddenly wanted to invite us to dinner, saying that his pension had risen by 112 yuan a month, but when I was eating, I found that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law were pulling their faces and not saying a word!
My father-in-law suddenly said that he wanted to invite us to dinner, and I was quite happy.
In fact, I have always been very envious of my father-in-law, he worked in a state-owned enterprise when he was young, and in 98 years, when the company implemented the internal withdrawal policy, he took the initiative to apply for internal withdrawal. At that time, the salary of internal retirement was only more than 100 yuan, but my father-in-law felt that it would increase in the future, and he would not have to go to work again in the future, so he could easily enjoy his retirement life.
I didn't expect that now my father-in-law's pension has risen to more than 3,000, and it is still rising every month.
I heard my father-in-law say that the pension had risen by 112 yuan, and I was too late to be happy, so I offered to cook a few home-cooked meals at home to celebrate.
My father-in-law smiled and said, no need, I'll invite everyone to eat hot pot outside tonight!
In the evening, my father-in-law happily called our family of three, as well as my sister-in-law with her children, my brother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a total of 8 people went out to eat.
At first, everyone chatted happily, ordered a lot of hot pot and cold dishes, and the children had a lot of fun one by one. I also boasted that my father-in-law would really enjoy it, and it was a filial piety to the younger generations to find such a reason to invite us to dinner.
Who knew that my father-in-law drank a few glasses of beer, looked at a table of children and grandchildren who were eating happily, and blurted out something that shocked me: If any of your children are admitted to 985 University, I will give a scholarship of 30,000 yuan!
I was stunned and looked at my husband with wide eyes to see that he was also smiling. I said in my heart, I was the most stingy when I was fair, and I only gave my son 200 yuan of pocket money a year, why did I suddenly say that I would give a scholarship of 30,000 yuan today?It's like opening the eyes of the sky, it's unbelievable!
I hurriedly turned my head to look at my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, only to see that the two of them had ugly faces, lowered their heads and said nothing, completely losing the interest they had when they came.
It dawned on me that it was because they understood that my son's grades were good and he was more likely to take the 985 exam in the future, and their children would not reach the age of college until several years later, so my father-in-law's words were obviously biased towards my family.
On the way home after eating, I cautiously asked my husband, do you see that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are unhappy?My husband said meaningfully, and I can see that my father-in-law shouldn't say such things in public.
I agree with my husband's opinion. Although my father-in-law's words are positive, he is encouraging the children to study hard and Xi and strive for scholarships. But in front of his brothers and sisters, it is inevitable that people will think that he prefers our family.
Actually, I can understand the feelings of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. After all, every mother wants her child to be loved and encouraged by their elders. My father-in-law knew that it was my son who took the college entrance examination this year, but he wanted to mention the scholarship in public, which would inevitably make the face of other younger mothers unbearable.
Besides, even if only my son was admitted to 985 and got a scholarship in the future, I would feel embarrassed. After all, they are both grandchildren of their father-in-law, but they are obviously treated differently, and I don't know how my sister-in-law and brother-in-law will feel.
In fact, children's education has always relied on hard work day after day.
The sister-in-law and brother-in-law must also be cultivating their children with their hearts, but each child's situation is different, and one test paper cannot be used to judge who is good to the child. I hope that my father-in-law will not say things that hurt my brother's feelings just because he is happy.
