Ever since we got married, we would quarrel over whose house to go to every Chinese New Year. This year at my mother-in-law's house, next year at my mother's house, running around on both sides, I feel a little tossed. Moreover, as both parents get older, the Chinese New Year is becoming more and more important. It's a pity that in this city, our house is too small to accommodate so many people. Long-term renting is also not realistic, and the financial pressure is too great. Therefore, every time I celebrate the New Year, I feel a little aggrieved, and I always worry about my parents.
Once, my wife and I had a quarrel over whose house to go to for the New Year. I insisted on going back to my mother-in-law's house, and she insisted on going back to her mother's house, and our opinions were like two parallel lines that would never intersect.
Why do I have to go back to my mother-in-law's house for the Spring Festival? My wife asked me reluctantly.
Heck, that's the old rule. I replied.
Can the old rules not take our feelings into account? My wife asked me rhetorically.
This question stopped me at once. It's true that the old rules should be respected, but we also have to consider the feelings of the other party. So, I tried to come up with a compromise plan: "Or, we spend Chinese New Year's Eve at my mother-in-law's house, and go to your house on the third day of the new year?" ”
After hearing this, my wife shook her head: "No! That's still twice a score! "She looked determined. Yes, tossing like this, I've been on the road for a year.
At this moment, the mother-in-law called**: You two don't quarrel! I discussed it with your mother, let's spend it together this year, and the two families will become one! "Gee, that's a great idea! This will satisfy our desire to return to our respective homes and avoid quarrels.
But a new question arises, where are we going for the New Year? You can't crowd everyone into my house or my mother-in-law's house. At this time, I suddenly thought of a good idea: rent a big house! So, we hurried and found a big house to rent through an agent. The mother was busy cleaning up the guest room, and the mother-in-law helped Zhang Luo with the meals. The children had a lot of fun, chasing and playing in the living room and playing hide and seek in the room. The whole house was filled with laughter.
In the evening, everyone made dumplings and watched the Spring Festival Gala together. The reunion of the Spring Festival does not mean that one party must be abandoned, but the two families can merge and enjoy the warmth and joy together. As long as the hearts are together, they are all home. In the future, my wife and I will no longer have to quarrel over whose house to go to during the Spring Festival. Because the Spring Festival is originally a day of reunion, not a festival of separation.
