After dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I cleaned up in the kitchen, and when I thought that I would be able to go back to my parents' house tomorrow and see my parents, my heart was happy, humming songs and brushing the dishes.
My husband Zhao Han asked me why I was so happy, and I said that I thought of going back to my parents' house tomorrow to see my parents.
At this time, the mother-in-law came in and heard it, and she said that tomorrow the sister-in-law and brother-in-law will come back, and this is the first time they have returned to their parents' house for the Chinese New Year after they got married. My mother-in-law's sister and my family are also coming, and if I go back to my parents' house, there will be no one to entertain them.
My mother-in-law said that I am my sister-in-law, so I should greet guests at home and let me go back to my parents' house the day after tomorrow.
After listening to my mother-in-law's words, the joy in my heart vanished instantly.
My name is Zhou Yang, and Zhao Han have been married for two years, my mother's family and my mother-in-law's family live not far away, only an hour's drive, and after marriage, we went to Guangzhou to work.
Last year, Zhao Han's company was busy, I went to work on the third day of junior high school, and I was on duty again in Chinese New Year's Eve, so I didn't go back to my hometown for the New Year, and I went back to my mother-in-law's house on the 29th of this year.
The mother-in-law and the brother-in-law are two people, the sister-in-law is married, and the brother-in-law is still in college.
My mother-in-law prepared some New Year's goods, and Zhao Han and I went to the market to buy some back. When chatting with her mother-in-law, Zhao Han said that I cook in Guangzhou, and the food is delicious.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother-in-law said that I cooked deliciously and asked me to do it, and I couldn't refuse, so I made twelve dishes.
The brother-in-law gave a thumbs up: My sister-in-law's cooking is comparable to that of a chef, and the taste of this pot-wrapped meat and dry-fried tenderloin is simply too authentic.
The mother-in-law also nodded vigorously and said that it was delicious.
Zhao Han said with a smile, I didn't lie to you, my daughter-in-law is Xiuwai Huizhong.
Although I was tired, I was praised by everyone, and I was quite happy to see that they liked to eat.
On the first day of junior high school, my husband and uncle's family of five came to pay New Year's greetings to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law said, my daughter-in-law's cooking is delicious, and you can taste her craftsmanship later.
My uncle's daughter-in-law said that she wanted to help me, but her mother-in-law stopped her, saying that they were all guests, and I was doing my job well.
After listening to my mother-in-law's words, I had no choice but to go into the kitchen and fry and fry. With no one to help, I became the only laborer in the family, and listening to the laughter outside, my heart was a little sour. At the dinner table, everyone pushed cups and changed glasses, and I ate the food silently.
After the meal, I brushed a bunch of dishes and chopsticks, thinking that I would be able to go back to my parents' house tomorrow, and I was quite happy.
Who knew that my mother-in-law said that my sister-in-law went back to her parents' house in the second year of junior high school and asked me to stay at home to cook.
Zhao Han also said that he would accompany me back to my parents' house in the third year of junior high school, but it was just a day late, it didn't matter.
Although I was unhappy, I also understood that my mother-in-law was old and unable to cook, so I had to compromise.
The sister-in-law and brother-in-law came, and after a while, Aunt Zhao Han came with a large family. Her family lives in the same neighborhood as her mother-in-law's family, and her daughter and son-in-law returned to the door with their children today, and she said that she came to her mother-in-law's house to join in the fun.
It's really lively, plus we have a total of 11 people.
The living room was very lively, my mother-in-law was chatting with my aunt, my sister-in-law was playing with her mobile phone and eating melon seeds, Zhao Han and her brother-in-law and my aunt's daughter and son-in-law were playing mahjong, and I was the only one who was busy in the kitchen.
At this time, my aunt's grandson ran in and threw the finished melon seed skin into the trash can, making the melon seed skin at the kitchen door and next to the trash can.
I was afraid that the child would step on everything, so I picked up the broom and swept it, and my mother-in-law came in.
No sweeping! She screamed and snatched the broom from my hand, making my hands tremble.
She scolded me with a black face, I told you, you can't sweep the floor, you are going to sweep away all the fortune of the year! What a heart! ”
I remembered that my mother-in-law told me and Zhao Han before, saying that we have a custom here, from the first day of the new year to the first year, we can sweep the floor, and we can't throw out the garbage, because we have to gather wealth during the New Year.
Three or four bags of garbage were piled up on the balcony, and as soon as I opened the door, I could smell a bad smell, and my mother-in-law would not let me throw them away.
I just thought that the child should not step on the skin of melon seeds, and forgot about it. I hurriedly told my mother-in-law that I didn't mean it and forgot about it in a hurry.
My mother-in-law didn't listen to my explanation, and blindly accused me, saying that she would not let me go back to my parents' house, and I had a problem with her.
At this time, Zhao Han and his sister-in-law heard the movement and went into the kitchen.
Zhao Han pulled me back to the bedroom and went to the kitchen to persuade my mother-in-law.
I sat on the edge of the bed and shed tears, my heart was full of grievances, I cooked alone, everyone played and no one helped me not to say, the slightest mistake, I was blamed by my mother-in-law, and I didn't mean to.
My mother-in-law only remembered her customs, she couldn't sweep the floor and throw garbage before the fifth year of junior high school, and her daughter wanted to go back to the door in the second year of junior high school, but I was not allowed to go back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, which was too double standard.
The anger in my heart was uncontrollable, and wiping my tears, I threw down my apron, changed my clothes, and took my bag out of the cupboard.
I glanced at the kitchen, and they were still persuading my mother-in-law, so I changed my shoes and went out of the house, took a taxi, and went straight to my parents' house.
I sent a message to Zhao Han in the car, I went back to my parents' house, the dish is ready, you can eat it.
The supermarket near my parents' house was still open, and I bought their favorite seafood.
As soon as I entered the door, my parents' surprise was overflowing, and listening to their words of concern, the grievances in my heart were also released.
The two of them were busy going to the kitchen to cook, and I wanted to help, and my parents pushed me out and let me have a good rest. Looking at the busy figure of my parents, a warm current welled up in my heart, and I felt the warmth and love that I had not felt for a long time.
I originally thought that I could only go home once a year, and my mother-in-law was getting older, so it would be okay for me to work more. But the reality is that my efforts are taken for granted, and I take care of everyone, but no one takes care of my feelings.
In this family, if you don't speak or fight, you will be treated as a soft persimmon and let others handle it.
In the face of injustice and grievances, I don't want to choose to suffer in silence anymore, I want to be brave enough to express my thoughts and feelings, and let others know that I also have a bottom line and principles.
I decided to stay at my parents' house for the past few days and spend time with my parents. While customs are important, understanding and respect between people are indispensable, and they are also the key to family harmony.
