"Tomorrow, my brother's family will come back for the New Year, and we will vacate the master bedroom for them to live! "My husband said, "Okay, I'll go back to my parents' house." ”

Kuangying didn't expect her husband to say such a thing. Over the years, every time my brother came home for the New Year, they slept in the master bedroom, and she and her husband had to squeeze the sofa. I used to make do with the New Year like this, after all, it's only a few days, just get through it. But this year, the epidemic was lifted, and the brother-in-law's business was sluggish, so he simply closed the door and went home early to accompany his parents.
After receiving his brother's **, her husband Daming told Kuangying: "My brother's family will come back tomorrow and plan to stay until the seventh day of the New Year." You tidy up, change the bedding in the master bedroom to a new one, let them live in it, and the two of us can squeeze the sofa or spread the floor in the living room. ”
Kuang Ying did the math and had to live for more than a month. Recalling that in the past, when the little brother-in-law and they came back, she was always tired to death, and the family became a mess, she couldn't help but be afraid.
Kuangying's house is actually quite spacious, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, but due to the large number of family members, all three rooms have been occupied.
Kuangying and her husband Daming slept in the master bedroom, while Kuangying's parents-in-law were in the second bedroom, and their son had the study alone.
In order to solve the problem that the uncle needs to stay for a few days when he comes back from the Chinese New Year, they have purchased a bunk bed in their son's room to ensure that the brother-in-law's child has a place to sleep with peace of mind.
The brother-in-law's family opened a restaurant in the provincial capital, bought a house and settled down. But because my parents-in-law have been living in Kuangying's house, they will come back to live for a few days every year.
When the brother-in-law's family comes back, it is always lively, and they call the ** notice early, in fact, they hope that the brother and sister-in-law can be ready and warmly welcome their arrival.
Kuangying's parents-in-law were villagers from the countryside, and the house in their hometown was already dilapidated, so they decided to rely on their two sons. However, the youngest son in the provincial capital bluntly refused: "Come to live in my house? Absolutely not. We're in business, we're in the store day and night, and no one takes care of you. It's better to live in my brother's house, my brother works regularly, my sister-in-law is also diligent, and living in my brother's house is the most suitable for the elderly. ”
So, my parents-in-law moved into my son's house. As soon as they came to Kuangying's house, their parents-in-law began to pay less attention to hygiene, spitting everywhere, throwing melon seeds and peels, and turning over a plate of vegetables before picking them up and eating. Kuangying thought again and again when she saw it, but they didn't listen, but said that her daughter-in-law disliked them. In the end, the son and grandson could not bear it anymore and came forward to persuade many times before slowly correcting these bad Xi.
Kuangying thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had worked a lot hard in their lives and raised two sons. Now in their seventies, they live in their own homes, perhaps let them live a comfortable old age. After all, he also raised his son, and he will grow old one day. She hopes that she can be a role model for her sons, and that when they are old and need care, they will also be cared for.
Kuangying's most unbearable thing is every time her brother-in-law's family visits. Every time the three of them came over, they would buy some fruit and milk. Moreover, the uncle and his wife always said seriously: "We drove to the fruit market to pick these apples and oranges, which are not waxed, pollution-free, although they are small in size and ugly in appearance, but they are not cheap." There is also this milk, which is imported from foreign countries, and it is all milk produced by cows that have not been given antibiotics, and the nutrition is quite good. ”
Every year the brother-in-law and his wife had to repeat these words, and Kuang Ying gradually learned to be obedient, knowing that when they came back, she did not open the door, but asked her husband or father-in-law to greet them, and listened to their detailed descriptions of fruit and milk.
Every year, when a family of three comes back from the provincial capital, they treat their brother and sister-in-law's home as the countryside, and they don't take off their shoes when they enter the door, and go straight into the room, while Kuangying's husband and parents-in-law are silent.
In desperation, Kuangying had no choice but to take the slippers behind them and remind them to change their shoes, but they said reluctantly: "Alas, it's better to go down to my hometown, you don't need to change your shoes, it's really troublesome to change them like this." ”
After the family came back, they were all guests, her husband Daming and her parents-in-law got together, chatting and laughing, while Kuangying, an outsider, was busy in the kitchen preparing meals for the eight people, selecting dishes, washing, cutting, stir-frying and stewing, and after everything was done, they had to shout before the family came to enjoy it. And the little uncle always wants to drink some wine, and after drinking, he talks more, accusing his sister-in-law's food of being tasteless, suggesting how to improve it, and also commenting that his sister-in-law's cooking level is really bad, if it is placed in his shop, customers will not patronize.
Hearing this, Kuang Ying felt quite depressed, they had worked hard for so long by themselves, but they only had to enjoy the ready-made food, plus a bunch of nagging. She had no choice but to say: "You are a chef, you must be much better than me, you can cook in the future, I just want to learn." ”
The brother-in-law said, "Sister-in-law, I came back to rest, not to cook." Tell you, next time you just pay attention.
When Kuangying's son grew up, he was also full of disgust with the arrival of his uncle's family. Every time my aunt and uncle picked a dish, he would express his dissatisfaction: "I like my mother's food the most." My mom worked so hard for me to get these dishes, and I was grateful and never picky. ”
In the evening, the uncle and his wife occupied their master bedroom, and the next morning began to complain: "This room is too small, I feel that I can't breathe freely, the mattress is too hard, I woke up several times throughout the night, and I didn't sleep well at all." ”
Kuangying responded: "Your brother and I sleep on the sofa in the living room, the room is big, breathing freely, and the most important thing is that the sofa is comfortable." Why don't you two try it tonight? ”
Sister-in-law, don't listen to him, it's good for us to sleep in the room. The concubine hurriedly played the round.
The brother-in-law came back for three days, and Kuangying, as a sister-in-law, had to be busy alone. In fact, she has long wanted to go back to her home to accompany her parents for the New Year. Because her brother died in a traffic accident, her parents were left with only two children, her and her brother, and the two old people were deserted every New Year.
Since her in-laws live in her house, every year the brother-in-law's family comes back for the New Year, Kuangying has never put forward the idea of going home for the New Year, taking care of face.
However, this year, they came back so early and had to stay for so long, Kuangying decided that she could make up her mind to go home with her parents earlier.
Dad, tomorrow my mother and I will go to my grandparents' house for the New Year and accompany them. With you and your uncle's family by your side, the house is already very lively. My grandparents had no one to accompany them, and they needed us even more. The son was sitting on the side playing with his mobile phone, and suddenly said something serious.
How is that possible, your mother is gone, who will do the work in this house? Who does the meals? I disagree. Husband Da Ming was furious.
Won't you do it? Won't my uncle's family do it? Why can I only do it with my mother? The son shouted angrily.
Kuangying grabbed her son with a heavy heart and said to her husband Daming: "My parents need someone to accompany them more than your parents. Brother-in-law, they came back and slept in the master bedroom without any problems. Tomorrow my son and I will go back to my parents' house, I have been doing my filial piety to your parents all these years, but I have never had the opportunity to do my filial piety to my parents. In the future, I will try to be more filial to my parents. As for whether you agree or not, what does it have to do with me? Your parents are parents, and my parents are parents. You will do your filial piety to your parents, and I will do my filial piety to my parents, and we will not interfere with each other. 100 Families Help Program
