I went to get some New Year's money, and I bumped into my son and daughter-in-law arguing, and after listening to it, I burst into tears
Our family has been farming for generations, and the thing I'm most proud of today is raising the only son who graduated from graduate school. He started a company in the city and lived happily. He was very filial, and since he entered the society, we have stopped working hard and contracted the land to others, leaving only a small piece of land for our own cultivation of vegetables. Today, our husband and wife rely on our son for their livelihood.
As the end of the year approaches, my wife and I are full of anticipation. At this time, my son has already sent the money to us, like a touch of warm sun, dispelling the cold of winter and warming our hearts. However, this year, we waited left and right, but we did not see our son for a long time. Every household is busy buying New Year's goods, and it is very lively, but we can only do it in a hurry.
Last night, my wife comforted me and said that maybe my son was too busy and forgot to transfer money. He advised me to go straight to the city and pick it up. I understand that my son's company is now huge, and his burden is heavy. So, in the first rays of the morning sun, I caught a bus and headed straight for the city.
When I came to my son's door, I found that the door was not closed. I couldn't help but worry in my heart, how could they be so careless, in case there was a thief?
I cautiously pushed the door open and looked around. Suddenly, from the bedroom, the daughter-in-law's reproachful voice came: "How can you do this? The daughter-in-law said to her son, "Half a month ago, I should have given my mother the money for the New Year's goods, and now there are only a few days before the New Year, why haven't you transferred it yet?" How can they celebrate the New Year? Even if we don't go back, they still need to live! The son replied helplessly, "Baby, you're right." Why don't I want to turn around on time? But now even the salaries of employees are not paid. Last year, we lost more than three years of the pandemic. The situation is too grim now, and if a new round of financing is not in place after the year, we are afraid that we will go bankrupt. "Hearing this, my heart is like a knife. originally thought that his son had a successful career and a happy family, but he never thought that he was facing such a huge predicament.
The daughter-in-law continued to reproach her son: "What a big fool you are! How could I have chosen to marry you in the first place? In difficult times, you should keep your promises on time. The day you are late, the more they will worry. Do you think that because they didn't say it, it means they didn't count in their hearts? "Listening to their conversations, I have mixed feelings. My son's plight hurts me.
He explained with a sad face: "Wife, I have been worrying about the year-end salary for a long time, and I have been worrying about it since December last year. My financial situation is very tight, and I really can't afford to give it to my parents. "Hearing this, my heart felt like I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, not a taste.
At this time, the daughter-in-law's tone was slightly stern: "Husband, be flexible, you are in high-tech, can't this kind of small problem be solved?" The son asked helplessly, "Then what should we do?" The daughter-in-law replied without hesitation: "Take our wedding diamond ring as a diamond ring, no matter what, we must give money to our parents, and we can't let them know our predicament and worry." ”
The son teary-eyed: "How can it be done, that is our love testimony." The daughter-in-law raised her voice: "You are really ignorant!" Do you think that love is built on sacrificing the happiness of parents? Parents can't feel at ease, and they can let go of any love temporarily. Hurry up and do it, I have to transfer the money to my parents today. "When I heard this, my heart was very heavy, and I couldn't stop crying.
I quietly walked out of the room, the cold wind howling, my tears wet my clothes, and my heart was like a knife. I know very well that this year we can no longer pursue material comforts, the important thing is to have one family. I decided to hurry home and tell my wife to adjust my mentality, it doesn't matter what you eat for the New Year, what matters is the reunion and family affection of our family. In this difficult time, we must rely on each other to overcome the difficulties together.
I am proud to have such a sensible and filial daughter-in-law, and I am also proud of my son's vision, and I hope that this year will bring us new hope and turnaround.
