"Don't come back for the New Year, don't you know the customs of our hometown, how can a married daughter spend the New Year in her mother's house?”
Xinxin and her husband are both from the countryside, and after graduating from university, they chose to work hard in the city, and they usually have no time to spend with their parents.
Because she has two older brothers, she has never thought about going home for the New Year, and according to the customs in the north, it is natural for her daughter to spend the New Year at her in-law's house after she gets married.
Xinxin's mother-in-law's house is not close to her mother's house, it is a neighboring county, more than 100 kilometers, and it takes three hours to drive. In the past few years, they all spent the New Year at their in-laws' house, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they drove to their parents' house.
To Xinxin's dissatisfaction, her parents didn't seem to welcome her very much, driving for three hours, and when she got home, it was basically noon, and after eating the meal they had prepared earlier, they urged her to go back: It's late, don't walk at night It's not safe.
It's rare to come once a year, and she wants to stay with her parents for a few more days, but her parents say, how can she live on such a cold day?Wait until summer to stay!
Every time, they are driven away without touching the ground, and they have to go, as if they live here and it will affect them!
The eldest brother of Xinxin worked in the county after the transfer of the army, and would go home every year for the Chinese New Year, and the second brother worked in other places and later bought a house, but he would also go back during the Spring Festival.
Usually busy with their own work, they also want to get together more during the Chinese New Year, but since Xinxin got married, she has never lived at home, and it can be said that her parents have not let her live!
Shin Shin's father-in-law was not in good health and stayed in the hospital for more than a month, and after being discharged from the hospital, they took her father-in-law and mother-in-law over and lived with them.
Xinxin's husband said that he would not go back to his hometown to live in the Chinese New Year this year, the home was cold, and the old man was not in good health.
Xinxin told her husband that she wanted to go back to her parents' house for the New Year and get together with her parents and brothers.
My husband agreed, saying that I will drive you over, stay there for a day, and come back to accompany the old man for the New Year.
Xinxin called ** to report the good news to her mother, and across **, she could see her mother's head shaking like a rattle: No, no, no, you can't come back for the New Year, how can the married daughter celebrate the New Year in her mother's house?
How can there be such a rule now?Xinxin thought that she was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she said, I agreed with my husband, and he agreed with me to go back.
That's not good, you don't understand anything, you don't know a lot of things!Xinxin's father said on the side, if you want to go back, you will come back on the second day of junior high school, and the Chinese New Year will not work at all!
Shin Shin was a little angry, why, why can't I go back for the New Year?I think you are patriarchal, and you don't love me at all!If you don't go back, you won't go back, and I won't go back in my second year of junior high school!
After saying that, she hung up**, and she was still very sad, she said to her husband, I won't go home for the New Year, and I won't go back in the future!
My husband asked what was going on, and she said that my mother still didn't want me to go home for the New Year, and they were patriarchal!My husband comforted her and said that if you don't let me go back, I won't go back, don't make the old man angry during the New Year!I'll take you back with me after the New Year.
Even if I go back after the New Year, they won't let me stay, our house is so far away from my house, we definitely can't call back and forth that day!
No, if you don't let me go back, I want to go back, so I live at home, and I don't believe she can drive her out during the Chinese New Year!
Xinxin had a strong temper, she wanted to come to a first cut and then play, and she didn't even say anything to her brother, so she packed up her things and went back!
Xinxin was still a little timid when she arrived at the entrance of the village, so she said to her husband, if my mother loses her temper, you can stop it, don't let her beat me!
My husband smiled, and your momentum was like the ball with a hole in it, and when you arrived at the door, your anger was gone!
Shin Shin came home and shouted loudly, Mom and Dad, I'm back!After speaking, she instructed her husband and son to move things, and when she turned around and saw her second brother smiling with her, she also had a bottom in her heart, and her parents would not be embarrassed for her if her brother was there!
When my parents saw Xinxin, they said why didn't you say hello when you came?Xinxin said to her parents, I haven't celebrated the New Year with you for several years, and I want to accompany my parents for the New Year.
Mom wanted to say something, but Dad grabbed her and said to go into the house.
In the evening, my mother said, you should go back for the New Year, now you can fight**, you can also**, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are at home!
Why can't you spend the New Year at home?I'm here, and you still say that, I'm going back, and I'll never come back, okay?
Xinxin was about to leave, but her brother stopped her and said, our parents are for your good, and they won't let you live here, but your parents think it's not easy for you to make money, and it will be gone after a few days in the New Year!
Xinxin looked at her parents, and her mother said, our family is big, there are many people, and there are many people coming and going.
You also know that in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, our family has many relatives who have come to visit, most of them have brought children, and when the children come during the New Year, they all have to give red envelopes!
Xinxin said, what does that have to do with me?The relationship is big, my mother said, our family is going to have a child, I and your two brothers will give one copy, you are the daughter of the marriage, you have to prepare another one.
How much does the red envelope gift weigh now!100 is less, but it is still 200 to save face, and there are several children a day.
That's not all, there are old people in the family to worship their birthdays, if you want to be at home, you have to go!If you go, it's a single gift, and if you don't go home, this gift can't be light.
If you have relatives who think you don't come often, they ask you to get together, and you can't be empty-handed for the New Year, so that in a few days, not only can you not accompany me, but you have invested all your hard-earned money for a year!
It's not easy for you to make money, there are old and young, you can't usually save money, and you will be bright in a few days during the New Year!
Shin Shin hugged her mother, in order to be able to accompany you for the New Year, it doesn't matter if you spend some money!
Mom said it doesn't matter?The New Year is not the same as usual, when can't you accompany it?
Then I'm not going anywhere at home!I'll hide when someone comes, Xinxin said with a smile.
Mom said, "You have a lot of ideas!".Since you're here, stay at home for two days, and you'll go back after the New Year!
Xinxin looked at her parents, the smile on the old man's face couldn't be hidden, they also wanted their children, and they also wanted their children to accompany them like they did when they were children.
They always think about their children, and they are willing to be lonely for their children!
Xinxin said, no matter what, I have to accompany you, don't think about it, spend some money!As long as you can accompany your parents, it's worth it!
