Chinese New Year is the most anticipated time of the year. On this special day, families look forward to reunion, harmony, and happiness. However, reality is often far more vivid than longing, and sometimes, the hope of reunion is challenged, and emotional fluctuations also burst out at this moment.
A woman and her husband return to her husband's hometown for the New Year, but she is not expected to be greeted not by a warm family atmosphere, but by a table of relatives waiting for her to cook. Although her heart was full of helplessness, the woman didn't say much, thinking that there was not much time to get together with her in-laws, so she threw herself into the busy cooking without hesitation.
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the woman got up early and began to busily wash vegetables, prepare ingredients, and cook. However, at the same time, the rest of the family was busy playing with their mobile phones and eating melon seeds, ignoring her busyness. After a busy morning, the woman was exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted. In the Chinese New Year's Eve, a day that should have been a happy reunion, he could not hide his inner exhaustion. She couldn't help but complain, "Is there anyone coming to help me?" ”
However, her complaints failed to attract anyone's attention and response. Everyone was still busy with their own work, as if they were oblivious to her toil. The woman was so angry that she declared that she would no longer cook. Even so, the relatives still turned a blind eye and were unmoved. Angry, the woman threw the freshly killed fish into the yard, completely giving up the idea of continuing to cook. However, this behavior was reproached and provoked by her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law took the opportunity to fan the flames, not only did not help, but added fuel and vinegar, which made the woman feel cold.
In the face of the indifference and accusations of relatives, the woman's husband did not lend a hand, but blamed her for her lack of proportion, and even called her a "broom star". In this family atmosphere, the woman felt completely disappointed and helpless, and she could no longer bear it. She decided to let go of everything and no longer take on the responsibilities of one person. She said angrily: Since you take cooking for granted, then you can do it. Can't you eat without me cooking? Am I here for the Chinese New Year to play the role of a chef? She felt the debasement of her family's status and felt like an unpaid nanny.
Looking back on all this, it is not difficult to understand the woman's behavior. On this day that should have been a warm reunion, she took on all the housework responsibilities, while the rest of the family ignored her hard work. If someone could have reached out and given a little understanding and support, maybe this scene would not have played out. However, in the final analysis, a happy and harmonious family needs not only the sharing of responsibilities, but also mutual respect and communication. The understanding and support of family members is the taste of the real reunion year.
