The day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, my husband and I originally bought a New Year's gift and planned to go to my sister-in-law's house to join the New Year the next day, but my sister-in-law suddenly sent a message in the family group saying that she would not use it and would never get together again! My friend Lili said to me.
Lili's statement.
There are three brothers in my husband's family, my husband is the youngest son, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are all in the system, I have a high pension, I have confidence in speaking, I have always been the most important in my in-laws, and I am also quite prestigious in the family.
The second brother works as an electrician in a large municipal enterprise, although the pension is not too high, but the hands and feet are diligent and skilled, what lights are broken in the in-laws' house, and the water faucet is not good, he goes to help repair it, and the second sister-in-law sets up a stall in the vegetable field and does a small business, which is hard, but she earns a lot.
It's just us husband and wife, my husband works in a private company, the salary is not high, and he works long hours, in the words of his in-laws, that is, from morning to night, he can't earn a few copper plates. And I work as a front desk in a teaching and auxiliary institution, the salary is not high, and I have to try my best to attract customers, that is, among the three brothers, life is the worst.
In the past few years, the in-laws are still there, and the body is also healthy, every year for the New Year, we all go to the in-laws' house for reunion, the mother-in-law prepared the dishes, the three of us bought the New Year's gift in the past, and the big family got together, which was also lively.
However, every time I eat, my in-laws will inevitably nag a few words, and the meaning of the words is nothing more than that my husband and I are not promising, and we must raise our son well, and the little grandson will no longer be like us in the future. To tell you the truth, I don't like to hear it, and I don't want to go, but my husband has to pull us there.
There are also those two sisters-in-law, the sister-in-law is always domineering, looking at us from the corner of her eye, the kind of look that looks down on people, clearly written on her face. The second sister-in-law doesn't read much, but she doesn't have that kind of arrogance, but she always likes to show off, wearing gold and silver, as if she is on stage to perform, telling me how much her jewelry costs, how much her clothes cost, how much her new bags cost, the kind of small citizen nouveau riche look, I look upset.
In the past two years, my in-laws have passed away one after another, and we take turns to meet every year, and the first year, we gather at my sister-in-law's house.
There are many varieties of sister-in-law's dishes, but each dish is packed in delicate small plates and plates. The second sister-in-law was quick to speak, and said to the sister-in-law, "Oh, why don't you make more of it for the New Year, it's not enough to eat." When my sister-in-law heard this, her eyelids turned upward, and she said, these are all famous dishes that are only available in five-star hotels, not full, but for tasting, only the kind of countryman dinner, is a big pot and a big bowl, vulgar!
I said to my husband that it would be better for me to make a bowl of beef noodles at home, which is delicious and full.
In the second year, we went to the second sister-in-law's house for the New Year, the second sister-in-law is worthy of being a businessman, she is really shrewd enough, a big family got together, and put a table on the whole chicken soup hot pot, green cabbage, cabbage vermicelli, fried tofu, and vegetarian dishes, and said, eat more, eat more, I have enough here. My sister-in-law scolded on the spot and said, "Your table is not as good as a king crab on my table last year, this abacus beads are really slippery."
In the third year, it was my turn, I thought, I can't leave the conversation, and I don't want to burn it myself, so I went to the restaurant to book a table, spent 1200 yuan, there are 26 dishes, it is really quite rich, the second sister-in-law ate with a mouth full of oil, and did not raise her head, but the sister-in-law frowned and said, how many times a year has I eaten in the hotel, this New Year is about the atmosphere of family reunion, how can I eat in the restaurant. Well, I didn't get a good deal of money for it.
This year, it's my turn to go to my sister-in-law's house again, and I have joked with my boss in advance that we will eat more at home at noon, and then we will taste five-star noble dishes in the evening. Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law posted this news in the group.
I didn't speak, I wanted to see what the second sister-in-law said, after a while, the second sister-in-law liked it and agreed, in this case, I also agreed, in fact, I didn't want to party for a long time, and it was really boring to quarrel together.
After a while, I heard him sigh and say, "My parents are here, my brothers and sisters are one family, my parents are not there, my parents are not there, my brothers and sisters are relatives."
I know that my husband actually wants to drink with his two brothers, although my husband has no ability to make money, but he is soft-hearted and especially family-friendly. But now it seems that in the coming year, we will all have to live our own families.
