After getting married, I would call my parents every weekend, and this habit has continued from college to the present. But every time I go back to my parents' house, I can't hide my excitement and excitement, and I will be cordial from the bottom of my heart when I see my family, which can't be replaced by how much I usually play.
This time I went back to my parents' house and stayed in my hometown for three days, sleeping until I woke up naturally, eating delicious food, visiting the door, chatting with relatives, and every day was very fulfilling and happy. I also took the time to watch a movie with my brother's family, mainly to take my brother-in-law and niece to feel the atmosphere of the movie theater.
My hometown, with my relatives, is my roots, the place where I was born and raised, and the feelings for my relatives cannot be expressed in words.
My home is 300 kilometers away from my mother's house, which is not far, and on the way back, looking at my husband and daughter around me, I suddenly felt very grounded. Different from the excitement of returning to my parents' home, it is a real sense of steadiness, and this feeling is even better when I open the door and return home.
I can't help but sigh, is it really as the saying goes: the water spilled by the daughter who marries? No, ask yourself, my parents and family are still my closest people, and my feelings for my relatives have never changed. But this sense of groundedness is tangible.
I think that, on the one hand, I have been away for too long, and when I go back, I have less common language with my family, and my living habits are different, so I feel a little alienated. On the other hand, my husband and daughter and I live together every day, and we have more common language and living habits, so we are more comfortable staying together. Also, I often report good news to my relatives in my hometown, but in my small family, I can talk freely with my husband, and I don't have to hide what is good or bad, and I don't have to worry too much.
I can only say that after getting married, I have two homes, one is my hometown that haunts my dreams, and the other is a small family that is stable and stable.
Both of these families have my dearest family members, and where there are relatives, there is home!
