I have been with my eldest daughter-in-law, Li Sufen, for more than ten years, and we have always been as close as mother and daughter. She was very kind to me and often bought clothes and fruits for me. I also often go to her house to help with housework, help her clean her room, and cook simple meals. We have a very good relationship, just like a mother and daughter.
A few days ago, Su Fen suddenly said to me, "Mom, I bought a new house!" In the upscale community in the east, 1.6 million! The house is big and beautiful, with a view of the lake from the balcony, you will love it! ”
I was very happy when I heard this, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, that community is very good, let's live there in the future!" ”
Su Fen smiled and said to me, "Mom, I especially hope you can move in with me." I have taken care of you a lot over the years, and when you have your own house in the future, you can move in with me. ”
I excitedly shook her hand and said, "Good daughter-in-law, thank you for taking such good care of me!" Of course I would love to stay with you! ”
Me: Elderly woman, 65 years old, Su Fen's mother-in-law Su Fen: 35 years old, my eldest daughter-in-law Second: My youngest son, 40 years old Xiaoyu: Second wife, 38 years old.
Mom, come with me to see the house! Sophie took me by the hand and led me to the living room and master bedroom. The living room is spacious and the master bedroom has a large balcony with a view of the small lake in the park. I was so happy that I couldn't stop praising it.
Mom, do you like it here? Su Fen asked me with a smile.
Like, very much! I said happily, "Thank you, daughter-in-law, for everything!" Such a beautiful house, you said I wouldn't dare to let me live in it! ”
Su Fen immediately said, "Mom, you're just laughing, this is what I bought to live with you." I miss you so much, let's live together in the future! ”
I excitedly held Su Fen's hand and said, "Good daughter-in-law, of course I want to live with you the most!" What a blessing it is for our mother and daughter to live together! ”
The second child was very excited, and hurriedly said, "Great, Mom! I will definitely take Xiaoyu and the children over on the weekend. Mom, if you don't live in our house, it's not far anyway, and I can take care of you every day! ”
I smiled and said, "Son, you, my daughter-in-law and I live very well, she is very nice and takes care of me like a biological mother, of course I want to live here!" ”
At the end of the week, the second family drove to the new community of the Sufen family on time. I happily greeted them and enthusiastically introduced them to how clean and tidy the neighborhood was. Xiaoyu also kept praising the good scenery.
Mom, the air is so good, it's great for you to stay here! The second child said happily, "Why don't you consider moving to our house?" ”
I was about to speak, but Su Fen stood up with a dark face: "Who said to let Auntie move to your house?" The house bought for 1.6 million is not for you to judge! ”
I saw her angry look, and quickly persuaded her to calm down: "Daughter-in-law, don't be so excited, the second child is also kind." ”
Su Fen looked at me with red eyes: "Mom, didn't you say that you would move here to live with me?" Why did he say that you were going to their house? ”
Then I realized that Sophie was sad because of my words, and she wanted me to live in her new house so much, but I almost said I was going to move out.
I'm sorry, but Mom let you down. I hastened to apologize, "Of course I would most like to live with you the most!" I won't listen to anyone else! ”
Su Fen smiled with red eyes. I asked them to go back and promised again and again that I would not move to their house. This episode has made my relationship with my daughter-in-law even more harmonious, and I will never make random decisions without considering her feelings.
After this incident, my relationship with Sufen became even deeper. As a mother, I understand that the time I spend with my children should be cherished the most. Sophie was so good to me, but I almost moved away from her because of my second child's words, which made me blame myself.
One night, I was sitting in the living room watching TV, and Sophie came home from work to chat with me.
Mom, aren't you bored watching alone? She asked with concern.
I smiled and said, "No, you still called at noon to talk to me." I don't feel lonely by myself, and you'll be back in the evening anyway. ”
Su Fen held my hand, her eyes were a little red, as if she wanted to cry. I asked her distressedly what was wrong.
It dawned on me that the fundamental reason why Su Fen spent a lot of money to buy a house was because she couldn't bear to let me live without support in my old age. As a mother, I'm really old, and I may not be able to take care of her anymore, but at least I can't let her worry about me anymore.
Since then, I've done my best to take care of my own life and give Sophie peace of mind that she doesn't have to worry about me at work. We chatted like friends about what we saw and what we had to say, and we had countless wonderful moments in our new home.
A few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Fen has also married and had children and has her own small family. Although I don't live with them anymore, we often get together and celebrate holidays together. Every time I see her and her lovely children, I will sincerely thank God for giving me such a good in-law, so that even in my old age, I never felt lonely.
Fast forward to 80 years old, but I still have a close relationship with Sophie and her family. Su Fen often brings her granddaughter Xiaoni to see me, Xiaoni is very attached to my grandmother, and I also spoil her like a treasure.
In a blink of an eye, Xiaoni went to elementary school. One day when I came home from school, she ran over and hugged my leg and asked, "Grandma, my grandmother at the same table is not in good health, she lives alone every day, and her children are not around, isn't it very pitiful?" ”
I smiled and patted her head and said, "It's not all pitiful, isn't your grandmother also very happy?" ”
Xiao Ni pursed her lips and said, "That's also because my mother accompanies you every day!" Otherwise, it's very boring to be alone. ”
At this time, Su Fen came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Our little Ni is a very sympathetic child. Grandma, in fact, I haven't told Xiaoni our story, she still doesn't know how happy we have been living together all these years! ”
I nodded and said gently to Xiao Ni, "Xiao Ni, do you remember that grandma and your mother lived together before?" ”
Xiao Ni's eyes widened, and she asked curiously, "No, grandma, when did you live together?" ”
So, I told Xiaoni the story of when I lived with Su Fen, and I shed tears when I was excited. Xiao Ni listened with relish and kept praising her mother for being so good to me.
It turns out that mom took care of grandma you like this when she was so young! Xiao Ni happily hugged Su Fen.
Su Fen stroked her head and said, "Yes, so you have to remember that it is the duty of children to be kind to grandma at all times." ”
I watched the mother and daughter be intimate, and my heart was filled with happiness. At this age, the happiest thing is to be able to see my daughter and granddaughter every day, and my life is warm and satisfying. I often think of all the bits and pieces of living with Sophie when I was young, and the hearts of my children and mothers, which are the most beautiful feelings in the world.
