On Monday, Aunt Xue was cooking lunch in the kitchen and received her son's **. Her son told her that Saturday was her grandson's fifth birthday and invited her and his wife, Uncle Sun, to their home for a birthday celebration. Aunt Xue happily agreed, and said that they would be able to rush to her son's house on Friday.
The grandson has been raised by her and Uncle Sun since birth. The grandson started kindergarten when he was more than three years old, after which they returned to their hometown and never saw each other again. Although they usually contact through **, watching their grandson grow a lot taller in **, they are even more eager to see him in person.
Some time ago, I heard my son say that my grandson started to take interest classes, and the cost of a year seemed to be 8,000 yuan. So, Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun discussed and decided to give their son some funding, they decided to give their son 20,000 yuan, and prepared a red envelope of 2,000 yuan for their grandson.
On Friday, they took a long-distance bus, and when they arrived at their destination, their son personally drove them up.
On Monday, when Aunt Xue was preparing lunch in the kitchen, she received her son's **. He told her that Saturday was his grandson's fifth birthday and invited him and his uncle to join him in the celebrations. Aunt Xue happily agreed, and said that they would arrive on Friday.
They were very happy to see their grandson and put out the delicious food they had brought, but the grandson did not seem to be very close to them and quickly ran away.
The son thinks that they have traveled a long way and that they should rest early.
Early the next morning, my son said that he was going to work overtime, but would try to come back early for dinner, and then left in a hurry.
The daughter-in-law and grandson were still sleeping, so Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun decided to go shopping in the vegetable market and supermarket, planning to cook a hearty meal in the evening, and also buy breakfast for the daughter-in-law and grandson.
After eating breakfast outside, when they returned, the daughter-in-law and grandson had just gotten up. The mother and son were washing up and eating breakfast, while Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun began to prepare the ingredients.
The daughter-in-law looked at the prepared dishes and suggested freezing the meat and other ingredients, because the grandson and his friends had already planned to celebrate their birthday together, and they were going out to eat at noon, and they were not sure that they would eat at home in the evening.
Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know whether they should go with them or stay at home. The daughter-in-law looked at them and said, "Let's go together." ”
The group traveled to a business center, where they met their grandson's three playmates and their parents.
Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun didn't know them, and their daughter-in-law didn't introduce them, so they kept a certain distance.
The four children walked straight to Naughty Castle, while the four mothers sat on the surrounding benches, playing with their phones and chatting occasionally.
Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun felt a little at a loss and didn't know what to do. They wanted to go around, and they were worried that their grandchildren would come out of Naughty Castle and go somewhere else, and forget them here. So, they had to sit by and watch.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the children jumped out of the naughty castle with cheers and loudly announced that they were hungry. The daughter-in-law suggested that everyone go to the buffet together, and the children agreed.
After speaking, the family got up and went downstairs, and Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun hurriedly followed.
After arriving at the cafeteria, the daughters-in-law began to discuss the seating arrangement with the waiter at the door, while Uncle Sun paid attention to the ** on the menu and secretly thought about whether to pay for it. He glanced at his daughter-in-law, who didn't seem to notice, so he counted the numbers and asked another waiter how much they had to pay for the group.
After the waiter told him, Uncle Sun glanced at his daughter-in-law and saw that she ignored him, so he did not hesitate to scan the code to pay.
In the restaurant, the waiter led them to a window seat and put two tables close together, just enough to accommodate eight people. The daughter-in-law arranged for other mothers and children to sit down, and one of the mothers who was traveling with her offered to ask the waiter to add two more chairs and invite Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun to join their table, but the daughter-in-law smiled and thanked them, saying that they were fine at the table next to them.
During the meal, Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun noticed that the grandchildren ignored them completely, which made the two feel a little embarrassed. They couldn't help but glance at their grandson's table several times.
Suddenly, the grandson walked up to them with a plate and asked curiously, "Do you eat with a knife and fork?" ”
Uncle Sun was already in a bad mood, so he replied directly: "I can use chopsticks, and I can use knives and forks." ”
It may be that the voice is slightly louder, and the grandson immediately gets angry and complains that he was yelled at by his grandfather on his birthday, and he feels sad. The daughter-in-law hurriedly comforted him, and in the face of Uncle Sun's unhappy expression, Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun were quite unhappy at this meal.
After the meal, the daughter-in-law reminded everyone that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the grandparents had prepared a birthday dinner, and they needed to go over early to prepare it together. In desperation, Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun bought some gifts and followed their daughter-in-law to their in-laws' house.
The couple warmly welcomed them, and after a short conversation, they were busy preparing dinner. The grandson was sleepy and went to take a nap early. Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun could only spend their time alone in the living room.
Finally, when it was time for dinner, the son rushed over with a large cake, and as soon as he entered the door, he thanked his father-in-law and mother-in-law for ordering a cake for his grandson, and then thanked them for preparing a sumptuous birthday dinner for his grandson.
When the parents-in-law toasted, the daughter-in-law's sister also came with her daughter, and when she entered the door, she gave her grandson a beautiful toy box with a toy car inside.
Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun looked at each other, hinting at whether they wanted to give the red envelope to their grandson, and Uncle Sun signaled to wait a little longer.
Dinner began, and everyone chatted while enjoying the food. Uncle Sun and his in-laws drank a few cups, and the in-laws immediately began to tell about their grandson's experience after going to kindergarten.
Especially when it comes to the time when their grandson is sick, the couple has put in a lot of hard work to take care of their grandson. These words touched the son and daughter-in-law, and they toasted and praised one after another. The grandson also expressed his gratitude to his grandparents, saying that they were too good to him.
The next topic revolves around their daily relationship, and has nothing to do with Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun. Aunt Xue was a little displeased and mentioned a few episodes when they took their grandson, but the grandson shook his head and said that he was not impressed.
In retrospect, the grandson was sent to kindergarten when he was just over three years old, and when everything was settled, they went back to their home. The in-laws are responsible for picking up and dropping off their grandchildren every day, and the relationship is even deeper.
After dinner, I returned to my son's house, where he was playing with the car with great interest. Aunt Xue handed the red envelope to her grandson, who took it and thanked him, but then put the red envelope aside and continued to enjoy the fun of playing with her son.
Uncle Sun and Aunt Xue originally thought that they could chat with their son today, but their son's eyes kept on their grandson, as if ignoring their existence.
They had planned to stay at their son's house for a few days, but the next day they hurried back to their home, and the 20,000 yuan was not given to their grandson.
They feel that as their grandchildren's contact decreases, their impression of them gradually fades, and their future interactions may be more limited, and giving money may not enhance their mutual affection, but will only make them feel cold.
During this trip to their son's house, Aunt Xue and Uncle Sun were relieved a lot of things, and gradually stopped missing their grandson too much, and their concern for their son also decreased. List of high-quality authors
