On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I was busy preparing a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for my family alone, looking forward to the moment of family reunion. However, he unexpectedly encountered the reproach of his mother-in-law.
On the night of the first day of the new year, I was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and my heart was full of anticipation to go back to my parents' house tomorrow to meet my parents. Zhao Han asked me why I was so happy, and I happily said that I couldn't help but feel better when I thought of seeing my parents tomorrow. However, the appearance of her mother-in-law made this joy disappear in an instant. It turned out that tomorrow my sister-in-law and brother-in-law would go back to my parents' house, and my mother-in-law's sister's family would also come, and if I went back to my parents' house, there would be no one to entertain them. My mother-in-law said that I was a sister-in-law, and I should greet guests at home and let me go back to my parents' house the day after tomorrow. I was devastated by this sudden change.
In the past two years of marriage, Zhao Han and I have been working hard in Guangzhou. Last year, due to Zhao Han's busy work, we did not go back to our hometown for the New Year. We returned to my mother-in-law's house on the second day of this year, and I participated in the preparation of the New Year's goods and cooked a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Everyone complimented me on the deliciousness of the food, which made me feel a little satisfied.
However, when my mother-in-law invited my uncle's family to visit me for the New Year, she praised me for the deliciousness of the food, but she did not allow others to help me do things. I became the only laborer in the family while everyone else laughed in the living room. Although I was a little dissatisfied, I still endured the thought that I would be able to go back to my parents' house tomorrow.
But the turning point came in the second year of junior high school, when the sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and aunt-in-law's family all arrived at her mother-in-law's house. The house was bustling with activity, but I was left alone in the kitchen. When I was busy sweeping the floor, my mother-in-law suddenly walked in and said that she couldn't sweep the floor, otherwise she would sweep away a year's fortune. I felt aggrieved, but I had no choice but to compromise.
After being blamed by my mother-in-law, I felt heavy and felt aggrieved and helpless. So, I decided to leave my in-laws' house alone and returned to my parents' house. Under the warm care of my parents, I finally released the grievances in my heart. I realized that in the face of injustice and grievances, I should be brave enough to express my thoughts and feelings, which is the key to family harmony.
After leaving my in-laws' house and returning to my parents' house, I felt a sense of liberation, as if my mind, which had been bound, had been liberated. My parents' love made me feel extremely warm, they didn't blame me, they just silently supported me. With my family in my company, I felt the warmth and safety of home, and my mood gradually calmed down.
Back at my parents' home, I began to think about my role and value in the family. I realized that as a member of my family, I should be brave enough to express my thoughts and feelings instead of silently enduring injustice and grievances. Family relationships should be based on understanding and respect, not on unilateral sacrifices and grievances. I decided to stick to my principles more firmly in my future life and create a harmonious and happy family with my family.
The experience of returning to my parents' home has made me grow a lot, and I have learned to be stronger and brave in the face of life's challenges and difficulties. I would like to thank this experience for making me more mature and confident. I believe that in the days to come, I will be more active in pursuing my own happiness and joy and creating a better life with my family. May our family always be filled with love and warmth and spend every wonderful moment together.
