My wife Li Mei and I have been married for ten years, and our relationship has always been very good, no matter what problems we encounter in life, we will understand and support each other. Li Mei's mother, Chen Xiuying, moved in with us two years ago, and I treat her as if she were my own family.
Last week, Li Mei told me that she and her best friend Lin Xiao wanted to go to Hainan Island for a few days to relax. "My dear, Lin Xiao and I want to go to Hainan Island for a week, just the two of us, we haven't gone out to play for a long time.
Do you think it's okay?Li Mei asked me coquettishly. "It's important for you to have fun and relax. I'll take good care of the family, so go ahead. "I hastened to express my support.
Great!Then I'll go and confirm the itinerary with Lin Xiao now, prepare for it, and we'll set off in two days. Li Mei said happily. I smiled and nodded: "Stay safe on the road, have fun, I'll miss you." ”
I know, you have to help me take care of my mother, she hasn't fully recovered yet. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. "You can rest assured!With me, Mom will be fine.
The day before leaving, Li Mei instructed me to take good care of Chen Xiuying, take medicine on time, rest, and some precautions in daily life. I kept them in my heart and told her to set off with confidence.
After the two of them left, I started my first day with my mother-in-law. Although Chen Xiuying is old, she is still in good spirits, and I try to let her rest as much as possible. I needed help to eat and bathe, but she always told me not to be too restrained and treat her like her own mother.
Son, you've worked hard, and I'm having a hard time dealing with this old bone. "After dinner, Chen Xiuying said with emotion. "Mom, you're laughing, that's what I'm supposed to do.
You don't have to worry about me, feel free to tell me if you need anything. "I responded immediately. For the next two days, I did my best to take care of Chen Xiuying's daily life. When I came back from work during the day, I prepared meals, then fed her, wiped her body, and changed dressings.
It was tiring, but I didn't find it difficult. My mother is old, and this hard work is nothing. On the third night, I suddenly developed a high fever. Lightheadedness and general weakness.
Chen Xiuying told me to go and rest immediately, leave her alone, she can handle the basic daily life by herself. Although I felt a little embarrassed, I really had a terrible headache, so I had to listen to my mother's words, take medicine, and lie down to rest.
When I woke up the next day, I saw Chen Xiuying sitting on the edge of the bed, still holding breakfast and hot water in her hands. "Mom, why do you wake up so early?I was going to make breakfast.
I asked in surprise. "If you are sick, lie down well, and tell me what you need at any time, and don't force yourself. "Chen Xiuying said with concern. I was moved and blamed myself, I wanted to take good care of my mother, but I didn't expect to worry about her after I got sick.
Thank you Mom, I'll eat and take medicine right away, and I'll recover as soon as possible. I'm sorry to worry about you. " "Son, when my mother told you, don't think so much when you're sick, put your body first, you know?"Chen Xiuying said with a smile.
I nodded slightly, took my breakfast and began to enjoy it. Chen Xiuying has been sitting next to me and caring about my condition. After breakfast, I told Chen Xiuying that I would let her rest well today and get up later to move.
She smiled and nodded, telling me to tell her as soon as I needed to. I looked gratefully at this kind old man, who took care of me like her own mother. I usually take care of her life, but I didn't expect her to care about me so much when she was not in good health.
I slept until noon, and I felt that my body was almost recovered, so I got up and went to the living room. Chen Xiuying was serving food, and when she saw me coming, she hurriedly said, "Son, are you up?"
I made some light rice, and I was about to call you. "Thank you, Mom, I'll help you with the meal." "Good son, your body hasn't fully recovered, so don't force it. ”
I feel like I'm okay now, you can sit down and rest, I'll do it. Chen Xiuying smiled and nodded, and sat down at the table. I served two bowls of rice and had lunch with my mother.
Simple dishes make me feel incredibly warm. After lunch, Chen Xiuying went to the sofa to watch TV, and I cleaned up the kitchen. Although I am still a little weak, I feel much better overall.
Mom has been taking care of me hard these days, and I want to take her out for a good meal. In the evening, I proposed to Chen Xiuying, and she readily agreed.
At noon the next day, I led my mother to a high-end Chinese restaurant and ordered a lot of nourishing dishes, and added some food that I hoped my mother would nourish her body. "Son, you are really filial to me, I see that you have improved a lot compared to when you were studying.
Chen Xiuying said while eating. "*This is what I should do. If you hadn't taken care of me these days, I would still be lying in bed. "I'm a little embarrassed.
Haha, the relationship between our mother and son is getting better and better!After lunch, when I went to check out, Chen Xiuying suddenly shouted "Oh!" behind meI jerked my head back and saw her fall to the ground.
Mom!I exclaimed and quickly helped her up to check on her condition. She seemed to have accidentally tripped over a chair behind my back. "Mom, are you alright?Is there a **uncomfortable?
I asked anxiously. Chen Xiuying shook her head, then hugged me violently and laughed. I'm confused, I don't know why. "Haha, son, in fact, I didn't fall at all just now, I pretended to do it on purpose!Chen Xiuying smiled. "Are you kidding?Scared the hell out of me. I'm still in shock.
I've been observing you for the past few days and I've found that you're really very considerate of me. In the little test just now, you really came over to care about my situation for the first time, which touched me so much!
Chen Xiuying said with a smile on her face. I realized that my mother was complimenting me, in a way that was a little special, but it also showed her trust and love for me. "Thank you, Mom, your happiness is my greatest happiness.
I will always take care of you. I hugged her tightly. "Let's go, today I'm going to go shopping and watch a movie!It's Mom's reward for you. Chen Xiuying took my hand like a child and said.
I smiled and nodded, and had a great day of shopping and movie ...... with my momAfter happily shopping and watching movies with my mother Chen Xiuying, I feel that the relationship between our mother and son seems to be closer.
Back at home, I started preparing dinner. Chen Xiuying helped on the side. "Son, thank you for going out with me all day today, I'm in a very happy mood.
That's what I'm supposed to do, Mom. I also feel very satisfied to see you happy. "By the way, when will your wife come back?"I miss that kid so much. ”
I should be back in two days, and I'm starting to miss her. " "Haha, it's normal for young people to miss their significant other. You have a really good relationship, and you will definitely be happy in the future.
I smiled and nodded, chatting with my mom on and off. In the dead of night, I lay in bed and reflected on the events of the week. It turns out that real communication with elders requires skill and patience.
I used to think of my mother as someone who needed to be taken care of, but this time I spent time with her, and I realized that she still has a young and smart heart inside. When getting along with childlike elders, we should not only be considerate of their physical condition, but also accompany them to find passion and happiness in a timely manner.
Seeing my mother's happy appearance these days, I feel that she is so amiable, like a friend who needs to be cared for. Finally, the day of his wife's return Li Mei arrived.
I drove to the airport to pick her up, and I saw her pushing her luggage from a distance and meeting her best friend Lin Xiao to say goodbye. "Honey, you've worked hard these days!Li Mei looked at me and said sweetly.
Fortunately, with my mother here, I didn't have to work hard. Are you having fun?"Super happy!But I still miss you at home the most. "I miss you too!”
Our eyes met and we hugged each other deeply. In each other's arms, it feels like this hug can last forever. "Let's go, I'll make you a delicious meal when we get home, and then we'll talk about what we've seen today.
I said to Li Mei with a smile. She nodded happily and took me by the hand and got into the car home. In the evening, the family sat around for dinner, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
Chen Xiuying talked about my filial piety in the past few days, and Li Mei frequently praised me. "Mom, you're going a little far, I just did what I had to do. "I'm a little embarrassed.
Hmph, don't pretend to be serious, I told Meimei!Chen Xiuying smiled and threatened me. "Haha, I will be more filial to you in the future. "My wife is back, our relationship has been restored, and I feel incredibly happy and satisfied.
After dinner, my wife, Li Mei, led me to the balcony, and we leaned against the railing and looked at the city at night.
You're really amazing, being able to work and take care of mom at the same time. "Li Mei said with emotion. I smiled and replied:"As long as I can reassure you, I'm happy.
Li Mei exclaimed"I didn't expect you to be so good at taking care of the elderly, I thought you would be in a hurry. "I replied:"Actually, it took me time to get used to it, but I found that as long as I understood them with my heart, there was no problem in communication.
Li Mei nodded"My mom sometimes has a bad temper, but I'm really glad you can be so filial to her. "I replied:"This is also the skill I learned Xi get along with others, everyone has their own personality and ideas, the key is to understand and understand from the perspective of the other person.
It's the same as between us as a couple. "Li Mei smiled and squeezed my hand"You're right, understanding and taking a step back to give way to each other is the secret to maintaining any relationship.
I was also deeply touched"Yes, feelings are the most precious. "Li Mei smiled again and said"By the way, your mother just told me about you going out to eat, haha, she actually pretended to fall down to test you, and she is also a living treasure!
I smiled,"Haha, I was also shocked at the time, your mother is really a straightforward character. "
This shows that she trusts you very much and already treats you as a relative. "Yes, I also deeply felt that the relationship between me and my mother has become so deep. "In the future, we will take better care of her and let her live happily."
Li Mei said firmly. "Of course. I nodded in response. We looked at each other and smiled, our hearts filled with happiness and emotion. This time not only shortened the distance between me and my mother, but also made my marriage relationship with Li Mei more stable.
It is rare to fight a few times in life, and we must cherish the people in front of us. The next morning, I got up early and made a hearty breakfast for my mother and Li Mei. "Son, I'm really flattered that you get up so early to cook.
Chen Xiuying said happily. "These are the things I should do, and you enjoy them. "Well, how lucky I am to have a son like you. ”
I'm the luckiest to meet you. "Li Mei said with a smile, resolving the embarrassment. Our family had a happy breakfast, and the simple meals became especially delicious in the laughter.
This kind of family warmth and happiness is the life I yearn for the most. I will continue to work hard to make your life carefree. In the end, if the ending is that everyone can live in peace and happiness, that is my greatest wish.
After breakfast, I was about to go to the company, and Li Mei stopped me: "Honey, can you accompany me to the supermarket?"Everything in the house has been eaten. ”"Okay, I'm just on the way, let's go shopping together!
I happily agreed. Li Mei smiled and picked up the car keys and bag, and told Chen Xiuying that we went grocery shopping and went out. In the car, Li Mei shared with me her travel experience with Lin Xiao, not only to the beach, but also to a tropical orchard to pick fresh jackfruit.
I was fascinated and told her about the recent time I spent with my mother.
Mom is still a playful child, so you have to learn to have fun with her. Li Mei suggested. "You're right, I used to think of her too seriously.
Observe her little movements and words, and you will find out what she is thinking. "Well, I'll pay attention to communicate with my mom more to make her happy. "In the chat, we have come to the supermarket.
Li Mei picked up the trolley and pulled me to start shopping in the supermarket. Watching her carefully shop for various ingredients and daily necessities, it occurred to me that shopping can also be an opportunity for me to strengthen my relationship with my mother.
Let's take Mom here to shop next time, Mom likes to go shopping, right?I proposed. "Great idea!Mom likes supermarkets and shopping malls the most, you can take her to buy some clothes and shoes.
Li Mei agreed with my proposal. I'm looking forward to the next time I visit the supermarket with my mom. Two days later, on a weekend morning, we took Chen Xiuying to this large supermarket as agreed.
It's been a long time since I've been to the supermarket, so I'm so excited!As soon as she entered the door, Chen Xiuying said excitedly. "Mom, I'm having a treat today, don't worry about money!I smiled at her.
Haha, then you're welcome!So, our family of three happily began to choose the goods. I pushed the shopping cart and followed behind my mother and Li Mei, who chatted as they walked, and occasionally put the items they liked in the car.
Mom, this lilac shirt is perfect for you, give it a try. Li Mei picked up a shirt and compared it to Chen Xiuying. "Okay, I'll try it in the fitting room later!
In the daily necessities area, Chen Xiuying looked around, like a curious child. I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at her excitement. After more than an hour of shopping, the cart was already stacked with various items.
Chen Xiuying tried on a few clothes and chose a pair of comfortable flat shoes. "Son, I think that's enough, let's go check out. Thank you for inviting me to shop!Chen Xiuying said happily. "No thanks, the most important thing is that my mother is happy. ”
I smiled and pushed my shopping cart to the cash register, followed by my mother and Li Mei, chatting warmly. Seeing them so close makes me feel so happy and grateful.
This is what my ideal home looks like. After shopping, I drove my mother and Li Mei home. Along the way, my mother kept talking, and it was clear that today's shopping had put her in a good mood.
Meimei, thank you for taking me out to play, I'm really happy!"Mom, we often take you out for a walk when we have time, and it's good to exercise." "Okay, good, I like you two husband and wife, it hurts the most!."”
Haha, mom, you say we're not ashamed!I said with a smile. "Okay, let's watch the road and drive carefully. Li Mei quipped. "Yes, Madame!I mimicked the robot's tone of voice, making the two of them laugh.
This night, our family sat around the table and tasted the Sichuan hot pot I made myself. The red oil is boiling, and the aroma of mushrooms and meat slices is overflowing, which complements the cool smell of summer, and it is a wonderful culinary experience!
Wow, this is the most authentic hot pot I've had in a long time, amazing!Li Mei was full of praise. "Well, my son's craft is getting better and better, and I'm so proud!
Mom nodded her head in appreciation. "You've won the award, and I still need to work hard to improve my cooking skills. I said modestly with a slight blush. "Alas, with a chef like you, my daughter and I are so happy.
Li Mei said with a smile. "Then I will definitely maintain a high level and not let you down. "We ate and chatted and the heat of the hot pot created a warm family atmosphere.
After dinner, Li Mei went to wash the dishes, and my mother took me to the balcony to drink tea and chat. "Son, you drove very steadily today, and your mother saw it. "Thank you mom for the compliment, it's something I always need to pay attention to. ”
Always be safe when you're out and about, and be focused when driving. "Mom kindly reminded me. "Okay mom, I'll take care of it, don't worry. ”
Oh, being a mother just can't help but say a few more words, don't you think I'm annoying. Mom said with a smile. "No, Mom, I take everything you said to heart, and I will do what you say.
I looked at my mother's kind smile, and my heart was filled with warmth. Mom's nagging, though it sounds a bit corny, is full of genuine love. "Okay, okay, it's not early, let's go and rest early.
Mom stood up and gently patted me on the shoulder. "Okay Mom, you also rest early. I watched my mom slowly return to her room and decided to cherish every moment I had with her even more. The next morning, I got up and prepared a healthy vegetarian salad and cereal, and when Li Mei and her mother woke up, we enjoyed this delicious breakfast together.
This salad looks very tempting, healthy and delicious!"Li Mei couldn't help but admire. "Come and try this, it's going to be super delicious!"Mom pushed the dish in front of Li Mei.
Okay, I'll start right away!"I was also very happy to see them enjoying their food. After breakfast, Li Mei said that she would take her mother to the hospital for a physical examination today to see how the conditioning effect was during this time.
Then I'll drive you there. "I offered it. "Okay, so we can chat on the road, killing two birds with one stone!"Li Mei said with a smile. So, the three of us got in the car and headed to the big hospital in the city.
On the way, Li Mei and her mother kept chatting, from the weather to skin care products, very casual and pleasant. I interject a sentence or two from time to time, and more often I concentrate on driving and speak in a relaxed tone. When I arrived at the hospital, my mother went to do various tests, and Li Mei and I waited in the waiting area.
The doctor said that Mom's body has recovered a lot, and your careful care during this time has played a big role. Li Mei looked at me gratefully. "That's great, mom's health is the most important thing.
In the future, we must continue to take good care of her and let her spend her old age happily. "Of course, families are happiest together. Li Mei and I looked at each other and smiled, and our hearts were connected.
After the examination, my mother came out with a smile on her face: "The doctor said that my body has basically returned to normal, which is a miracle!.""Great, Mom!Let's go home and make you a great meal and celebrate!
Li Mei said happily. "Okay, okay, I'm already looking forward to it!"Our family happily clasped our arms and prepared to leave the hospital. When I got home, I started preparing dinner.
Braised lion's head, stir-fried tofu with shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried vegetables and other mother's favorite dishes. "Wow, these dishes are my favorite, son, you are so good at taking care of people!"Mom was full of praise.
Mom, if you like it, enjoy it. "After dinner, we sat on the balcony and chatted and eaten. Li Mei and her mother talked about interesting stories about their childhood, and they laughed constantly.
I couldn't help but smile as I watched them engage. The days passed in our laughter and laughter, and this was the life I longed for the most. I am grateful for everything in front of me, and I sincerely feel happy and satisfied.
