Lao Li is 60 years old this year, he has just retired, and his monthly retirement salary is 8,000 yuan, which makes him very excited. He thought that with this money, he could enjoy his old age in peace. However, when he went to visit his grandson at his son's house, he encountered something that was difficult for him to accept.
Lao Li's son, Xiao Li, is an ordinary office worker, and he and his wife are busy with work and have no time to take care of their children. Therefore, Lao Li decided to visit his grandson at his son's house and give them some help. He thought he could help take care of the children and have some fun at the same time.
However, when he arrived at his son's house, he found that he could not fit into the family at all. Xiao Li and Xiao Li's wife are busy with work, and Lao Li is the only one in the family to take care of the children. Every day, he has to wake up early, make breakfast for his children, take them to school, then go to the vegetable market to buy groceries, go home to make lunch, clean up, make dinner for his children, ......These trivial things made him feel very tired.
Moreover, Xiao Li and Xiao Li's wife's attitude towards Lao Li also made him feel very uncomfortable. They are always busy with work, turning a blind eye to Lao Li's efforts, and even sometimes complaining that Lao Li did not take good care of the children. They often yelled at Lao Li in **, which made him feel very aggrieved.
What is most difficult for Lao Li to accept is that Xiao Li and Xiao Li's wife often eat takeout or fast food at home, while Lao Li can only eat instant noodles or simple meals made by himself. He felt very unfair, he had worked hard all his life, and he could only live like this when he retired.
Lao Li's mood became very heavy. He began to wonder if he had made the right choice and whether he should continue to stay in the family. He felt that he could no longer handle the pressures of such a life.
A few days later, Xiao Li and Xiao Li's wife returned. They saw Lao Li sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of instant noodles in his hand, his expression a little haggard. They were a little surprised and asked Lao Li what had happened.
Lao Li sighed and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to go home and rest for a while." ”
Xiao Li and Xiao Li's wife felt a little guilty when they heard this. They realized that they cared too little about Lao Li and didn't notice his feelings and needs. They decided to give Lao Li more attention and care, so that he could live a happier and more comfortable life in his old age.
A few days later, Xiao Li and Xiao Li's wife sent Lao Li home. They bought some nutrition and health products for Lao Li, and decided to visit him once a month. They also began to pay more attention to Lao Li's life and health, and often cared about his situation.
As time went by, Lao Li's life got better and better. He began to enjoy his later years, often going out with friends for travel and partying. He also began to focus on his physical and mental health, exercising, reading and Xi new knowledge every day.
At a party, Lao Li met an old friend. An old friend asked him how he was doing. Lao Li smiled and said, "I'm doing well!."I now have a retirement salary of 8,000 yuan a month, and I am living a very comfortable life. ”
The old friend was a little surprised when he heard this. He asked Lao Li: "Then have you encountered anything unpleasant recently?"”
Lao Li thought for a while and said, "Actually, there are still some things that don't go well. When I went to visit my grandson at my son's house, I found that I couldn't fit into their family life at all. And they are always busy with work and blind to the efforts I put in. The most difficult thing for me to accept is that they often eat takeout or fast food at home, and I can only eat instant noodles or simple meals that I make myself. ”
When the old friend heard this, he felt very understanding of Lao Li's feelings. He suggested that Lao Li could put forward his thoughts and needs to his son's family, so that they could understand their feelings and contributions. At the same time, you can also try to cook with them, eat together, and take care of the children together to enhance communication and communication with each other.
Lao Li felt that his old friend's words were very reasonable. He decided that the next time he went to his son's house, he would try to communicate with his son and daughter-in-law about his thoughts and needs. At the same time, you can also try to cook with them, eat together, and take care of the children together to enhance communication and communication with each other. Only in this way can you make your old age happier and more comfortable.
