After I got married, I realized that it was necessary to return to my parents' home, especially to my hometown in the countryside.
Ms. Gao is a customer service for a logistics company who met a shuttle bus driver in Shanghai. The longer the two get along, they also develop a strong relationship. So they decided to enter the palace of marriage. Although Ms. Gao was over the age of six, her parents agreed to the marriage. However, they are not satisfied with the financial conditions of their husband's family.
In order to live a stable life, they resigned and gave up their jobs in Shanghai. The couple immediately returned to their hometown in Jiangsu and bought a house. Despite the financial constraints, Ms. Gao is grateful and always keeps her support for her husband and mother-in-law in mind.
Five years have passed, and the couple has never had the opportunity to return to Ms. Gao's hometown in Northeast China for the New Year. Thankfully, this year we finally had this opportunity. For this reason, the husband rented a car, bought a suit, and prepared many New Year's goods. When they arrived at Ms. Gao's hometown, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their parents' home had been renovated. Living conditions are much better.
But what Ms. Gao didn't expect was that the New Year's goods carefully prepared by her husband were disliked by her younger brother and his family. What is even more surprising is that the parents also said that they do not need to buy anything anymore because they are living well now, and admonished the couple to save money.
As a result, Ms. Gao and her husband had to leave early. They deeply feel that returning to their parents' home does require a certain amount of capital. Both financially and in relationships, couples face tremendous pressure and challenges.
Recalling the time when the two met, the once sweet and warm has become a luxury. Recalling the moment when they decided to quit their jobs and return to their hometown, the dreams and hopes they carried at that time seemed distant and ethereal.
It turns out that life is not as beautiful and romantic as a fairy tale. Marriage is often accompanied by the trials and frictions of real life. The couple put in a lot of effort and sacrifice in order to come together. But these efforts do not guarantee them a happy life.
The couple met while working in both places, and at the time, no one could have imagined that the future would be so difficult. They relied on each other and supported each other through countless difficult and difficult days. However, the reality is cruel, even though they have entered the palace of marriage, the sweetness and warmth of the newlywed are quickly suppressed and worn out.
Ms. Gao and her husband decided to go back to Ms. Gao's hometown in the northeast for the New Year when the New Year was approaching. This is their wish and dream for many years. They wanted to take this opportunity to show Ms. Gao's parents how good and happy they were in life.
The husband rented a car to save face and personally bought a suit to prepare for the meeting with his parents. Ms. Gao prepared many New Year's gifts to show her gratitude to her parents.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as they expected. When they arrived at Ms. Gao's hometown, their parents' house had been renovated, and the living conditions were much better than before. Although the Chinese New Year goods prepared by her husband could not be recognized by the family, what really surprised and frustrated Ms. Gao was that her parents insisted that they did not need to buy anything, that they were doing well now, and encouraged them to save money.
In the end, under such circumstances, Ms. Gao and her husband had to leave early. They were sad in their hearts, and deeply felt that returning to their parents' home really needed a certain amount of capital and face. This is not only material capital, but also a kind of social and human recognition and respect.
When the couple left Ms. Gao's hometown, their hearts were full of bitterness and unwillingness. They used to put in a huge effort and a great price to come together. But now, they find themselves not getting what they deserve.
Perhaps this is the cruel lesson that real life has taught them. Marriage is not simply two hearts snuggling up to each other and supporting each otherIt's about facing real problems, stress, and challenges.
Ms. Gao learned a truth from this experience: returning to her parents' home does require capital. Both financially and in relationships,Both husband and wife need to have a certain amount of preparation and face in order to be treated with the respect and treatment they deserve.
This experience gave Ms. Gao a deeper understanding of marriage. She saw a huge gap between reality and idealsI also understand that happiness is not easy to come by.
Looking back on the whole experience, Ms. Gao couldn't help but feel emotional. She realizes that marriage is a process that requires effort, and that it cannot be sustained by love and romance alone.
In summary, it is true that you need to have a certain amount of capital to return to your parents' home. Whether it is materially or socially, couples need to be prepared and save face. Only then can they be treated with the respect and recognition they deserve.
