I have just stepped into the threshold of 55 years old and have just completed my retirement.
Due to my long work experience and the fact that I was a cadre before, my pension is quite substantialIt reaches more than 8,000 yuan per month.
I happily went through the retirement procedures, and as soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to call my son and daughter-in-law, announcing that he would invite them to dinner at a five-star hotel tonight, eat whatever you want!
The son and daughter-in-law were very surprised, and asked in confusion that today was neither a holiday nor a special dayWhy would you suddenly invite them to a five-star hotel?
I deliberately sold a pass: "When you get there, I'll tell you why." ”
After hanging up **, my wife who had just come home from work entered the door, and I quickly pulled him into the bedroom, urging him to change into clean clothes, and then took him out with him.
My wife was quite surprised and asked with a smile: "What are you anxious about?" It was in a hurry, like a fire burning its ass. ”
I smiled and told him that I had just communicated with my son and daughter-in-law, and I was going to invite them to a five-star hotel for dinner.
My wife asked suspiciously, ".Is there a special day today? Going to a five-star hotel? ”
I pretended to be angry and glared at him: "Today must be a good day, I just finished the retirement procedures, guess how much retirement salary I can get?" ”
My wife thought for a while and said, "Why do you have to have three or four thousand, right?" ”
I laughed: "How can I have the money to invite you to dinner for three or four thousand?" I also have to give my son and daughter-in-law a subsidy of 2,000 a monthIf we only open three or four thousand, we should worry about what to do next. ”
My wife has always been an anxious child, and when she saw that I was counted down, she shook my arm anxiously: "Eh, wife, don't sell it, say it quickly!" ”
I smiled without saying a word, held out two fingers, and shook them in front of his eyes.
He was surprised and said, "You actually drove eight thousand!" Good guys, that's a lot. When I'm retired, tooLet's just go around the world haha
I glanced at my wife and said, "Still traveling, every."You don't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil, and salt for months, Since I have a little grandson, my daughter-in-law doesn't go to work anymore, I have to take care of him every day, our son can't support this family alone, and I plan to subsidize him 3,000 a month in the future, and the rest of us can spend enough. ”
Half a year ago, my daughter-in-law began to prepare for pregnancy.
Ever since she was pregnant,He quit his job, and his son's income alone could not support the living expenses of the whole family.
If it weren't for my wife and I taking care of me, we wouldn't have been able to maintain our basic expenses.
My wife complained about this, and often lamented that I was too fond of them, thinking that such excessive care would make them lose their independence and even harm them.
However, I never cared about my wife's words.
After all, my son is my own flesh and bloodI don't care about paying for him, as long as he can live well.
And my daughter-in-law is also very good to me, Every time I see me, I smile, all kinds of sweet words, and even rush to wash the dishes every time I come to the house after eating, no matter how much it costs, I am willing.
The financial power of the family has always been firmly in my hands, and I am willing to fund the expenses of this small familyHow dare my wife have any objections.
He is a rake ear, and he will always cooperate silently with any decision I make, even if I am reluctant.
In his mind, I am his pillar, and all his love and accommodation come from this deep love.
As soon as my wife and I sat in the lobby of the hotel, we saw a message from my son, saying that his mother-in-law's family was also coming.
Thinking that now that the whole family has been gathered, I ordered a lot of dishes and asked for two or three bottles of good wineYou have to eat and drink well!
As soon as the dishes were served on the table, the son and daughter-in-law's family entered the private room one after another.
I motioned for my wife to open the wine she had just asked for and pour it into the wine dispenser one by one.
My daughter-in-law looked at me with a red faceI can't hide the smile on my lipsHe also asked me very happily: "Mom, what's wrong with you, what happened today, and suddenly remembered to come to a five-star hotel for dinner?" Could it be that you won the lottery? ”
I laughed and said, "Although my mother didn't win the lottery, my matter is similar to winning the lottery, and I can enjoy life every day in the future." ”
Everyone else showed puzzled expressions, and I didn't continue to sell Guanzi: "Mom officially went through the retirement procedures today, and you can enjoy your retirement life with peace of mind in the future." ”
When my in-laws heard this, they hurriedly asked me: "My mother-in-law is so happy, it seems that this retirement salary is not less!" ”
I smiled and took a big sip of my glass, and replied, "Yes, it's not a little, it's enough."
Suddenly,I felt someone tap me on the leg, and the train of thought was interrupted for a moment.
Seeing that I didn't finish speaking, my son quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" Are you not feeling well? ”
My daughter-in-law handed me a glass of warm water and said, "Mom is probably so excited, she accidentally choked on so much wine in one go, right?" ”
The daughter-in-law saidHe shoved warm water into my hand"Mom, drink some warm water to moisten your throat, this white wine is very uncomfortable to choke your throat." ”
I looked into my daughter-in-law's eyes as if she wanted to say something to meI followed her and took a sip of water.
Unexpectedly, the in-laws were quite persistent, and continued to ask: "Mother-in-law, you haven't told me yet, how much is your pension?" ”
I smiled and just wanted to return 8,200 yuan, but my daughter-in-law suddenly said, "It seems to be 2,800 yuan, right?" Mother-in-law's salary is not the main thing, the key is that you don't have to work when you retire. ”
I saw the corners of my mother's mouth pursed disdainfully: "I thought it was much money, this."3,000 dollars is enough for what?...The children are about to be born, and they have to give their family subsidies. ”
I suddenly felt that this was too embarrassing, and it was obvious that there were a few thousand handsWhy did you tell me that it was less than 3,000 yuan?
As soon as I was about to open my mouth to refute, my daughter-in-law said, "Mom, you can't say that, this child hasn't been born yet, and my mother-in-law has already given us a subsidy of 2,000 a month, and you haven't given me so much." ”
The mother-in-law couldn't hold back her face, and said a little angrily: "You don't go to work at a young age, and you still want us to feed the old couple, are you embarrassed?" ”
The daughter-in-law smiled and stuck out her tongue again, but did not refute anything.
The mother-in-law said reluctantly: "Besides, I didn't say anything just now, it turns out that your mother-in-law's family has a high income, so I give you more subsidies every month, aren't I afraid that you won't be able to spend enough in the future?" Isn't it for your own good? ”
I didn't expect that today would have been a happy day, why is this still quarrelsome?
I sullenly picked up the dishesThis meal was really unpleasant.
But after all, it was a family, and I could only swallow this resentment into my stomach.
After eating, my son and daughter-in-law drove us home and we talked again on the way.
Xiaoqing, what's the matter with you, obviously my retirement salary is more than 8,000 yuan, why did you tell your mother that I only opened 2,800 yuan, which makes me lose face? ”
My daughter-in-law didn't get angry in the face of my questioning, but just smiled and said, "Mom, don't be angry. I've been with you for so long, I know you too well, and I haven't had a bad temper. Depending on your ability, a retirement salary is certainly indispensable, but you forgot that I also have a younger brother, and he is going to get married soon. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized what she meant, but for the sake of face, I still said: "What's the matter, we are all a family, just say no to me if you need money, and I won't give it to you!" ”
My daughter-in-law took my hand and said, "Mom, it's because you are so good that you will definitely give it to us, so I don't dare to let you show your wealthHasn't that family become enemies?
At this time, my tone was much calmer, and I continued to ask: "How can you talk about your own family like this, you must help if you are doing this." ”
The daughter-in-law grinned: "Eh, I must know your kindness, the problem lies with my younger brother." I haven't studied well when I'm old, and I've changed jobs four or five times, and I haven't stabilized yet. You're so nice to me, I don't want to be unhappy with you! ”
I'm really happy to say thatIt seems that this daughter-in-law really thinks about me, and she usually doesn't hurt her in vain!
Within a few days, I really received a ** from my mother-in-law.
Not surprisingly, she first probed the wind in ** to see if I had any spare money recently, and I guess she reacted that my retirement salary should be more than this small three thousand yuan.
Then she bluntly said that her son was going to buy a house when he got married, and he was nervous about money, so he would see if I could help them.
I felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed to refuse outrightHe vaguely said that there are some things that he will talk about in detail later.
After hanging up**, I quickly called my daughter-in-law**, wanting to ask her if she had any suggestions, so as not to make trouble because of tens of thousands of dollars.
My daughter-in-law told me: "You just tell my parents that your salary has become lower since you retired, and the combined salary of the two of you is just enough to spend."What's more, we have to subsidize 2,000 a month, there really isn't any extra money to help them. ”
I thought about my daughter-in-law's words, although it made sense, but I always felt a little shameless.
The daughter-in-law seemed to know what I was thinking about, and said directly: "Mom, do you think it's important to save face, or is it important that everyone can't see each other because of the money owed?" ”
After listening to my daughter-in-law's words, I felt that I really wanted to die to save face, and my heart was crossed, so I decided to do what she said.
After all, it is the uncle who owes money this year!
At the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart: Such a good daughter-in-law who is sensible must love her well!
