Snowflakes are fluttering, and the wind is biting. At the time of the wax moon, the distant hometown is already filled with a strong New Year's flavor. Lin Yue stood in front of the window, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, and a strong sense of homesickness swelled in her heart. After marrying away for three years, although her in-laws and husband cared for her, whenever the familiar sound of firecrackers sounded on Chinese New Year's Eve, she would always think of her hometown thousands of miles away, a place full of warm memories and deep family affection.
In the past three years, because of distance, pregnancy and childbirth, she has never been back to her parents' house, this year, she especially wants to go back, wants to accompany her aging parents, and wants to relive the taste of her hometown when she was a child.
However, when she carefully expressed this expectation to her in-laws and husband, she was opposed by them. The in-laws believe that according to traditional customs, the married daughter should spend the New Year at her husband's house, so that the family can be harmonious and happy. The husband, on the other hand, is worried that his wife will have to travel long distances, the journey is tiring, and the children are still young, and he is afraid that she will not be able to adapt. Their concerns were not unreasonable, but they made Lin Yue deeply troubled.
That night, Lin Yue lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She remembered the scene of celebrating the New Year with her parents when she was a child, and the laughter and excitement at that time made her feel warm. And now, she can only spend one Spring Festival after another in this strange city.
I really miss them, I haven't been home in a long time. Lin Yue's voice was choked, and tears flashed in his eyes. The husband felt her grievances, looked at his wife in front of him, and had mixed feelings in his heart. He knew Lin Yue's hardship and understood her feelings, but he also didn't want to disappoint his parents.
We can chat, or after the Spring Festival, we will visit them together. The husband tried to find a compromise.
Lin Yue shook her head, she knew that such an alternative could not really make up for the void in her heart. She needs her parents to hug her, she needs to prepare a table of meals for her parents, and she needs to hear her parents' laughter in a familiar home.
Lin Yue took a deep breath, trying to suppress the choking in his heart. She looked up at her husband with a determined glint in her eyes.
I know you're worried about me and my children, and I understand your concerns. But you know, I've been trying to adapt to life here all these years and try to be a good wife and mother. But I have never been able to forget my roots, the home that accompanied me to grow up. ”
The husband looked at Lin Yue, and he could feel her resoluteness and eagerness. He knew that for Lin Yue, going home was not only a simple action, but also an emotional sustenance and belonging.
I understand your feelings and respect your decision. Her husband held Lin Yue's hand and gave her support.
They discussed for a long time and finally decided to return to Lin Yue's hometown ahead of schedule before the Spring Festival. The first year of junior high school returned from his hometown to accompany his parents.
When Lin Yue told her in-laws about this decision, although her in-laws were a little disappointed, they gradually understood Lin Yue's mood when they saw Lin Yue's determination and her husband's support.
Well, you guys go for it. As long as you are happy, we are at ease. The in-laws eventually agreed to their decision.
Before the Spring Festival, Lin Yue returned to her hometown with her husband and children. The moment she stepped into the house, all her thoughts and expectations turned into tears. Her parents hugged her tightly, as if they wanted to make up for the regrets of the past three years.
At that moment, Lin Yue knew that she had made the right choice. Because no matter where you are, home will always be the harbor of the soul and the deepest sense of belonging.
What do you think about this? What should I do if I want to go home for the New Year if I marry thousands of miles away, but my in-laws and husband don't agree? How long has it been since you got married? Feel free to tell your story!
