As I get older, many things start to change. For our old couple, the most obvious change is that after reaching 70, our physical strength is becoming more and more exhausted.
Last year, we decided to let them each have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, because it really couldn't burn.
My husband and wife are in their 70s, have a daughter and a son, and we live in different parts of the city, which is only twenty or thirty minutes away from us.
In the past, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, children would gather together to share the joy of family, and Chinese New Year's Eve would come to our house, and our old couple would cook for them. However, we are all aware that such reunions are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
The children's work and life are becoming more and more stressful, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find time to spend time with us.
The most difficult thing is that our husband and wife's health is getting worse and worse than before, and it is difficult to bear the long hours of labor. Therefore, after some careful consideration, we decided to ask the children not to come to the house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year, and let them each spend time at home with their own children.
While such a decision may be a bit disappointing for the kids, we believe it is the best option. Reunions in life are wonderful, but they also need to take into account the reality factor. At this special moment, we need to cherish each other's company more, and at the same time, we need to understand the difficulties of children.
Although there were only the two of us at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we could still live a warm and happy life. It's also a pleasure to be busy and tired, and to be cold.
The Chinese New Year's Eve meal made three dishes and one soup, which was very fast, and it was prepared in less than an hour. But after eating, we were about to turn on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, when the children came back with their respective children after eating, saying that even if they didn't eat Chinese New Year's Eve, they would come over to greet us for the New Year, and they would be lively and lively. "Grandpa, even though I'm in college, I still have to pay for the New Year, so how can I not come," the grandson said mischievously.
This year, it's almost the New Year, and my daughter ** called and said, I booked a hotel reservation this year, let's go out to eat together, and her brother's family, let's experience the "New Year's flavor" in the hotel together.
yes, that's pretty good, isn't it?
