It was an ordinary Wednesday afternoon, and I was busy in the office when my phone rang out of nowhere. Seeing that it was my father-in-law calling, my heart tightened, and he rarely called me at this time.
picked up the **, and the father-in-law looked a little anxious, "Xiao Zhang, your mother-in-law fell and is now in the hospital, her condition is not good, and she needs surgery." ”
As soon as I heard the news, I felt like I had been hit by a stone, and I hurriedly asked, "How is it now?" What do I need to do? ”
My father-in-law said that the surgery needed to be signed and that there were some expenses to be dealt with.
After hanging up **, I immediately asked for leave and rushed to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw my mother-in-law lying on the hospital bed, her face pale, and I felt so uncomfortable. The doctor said that the mother-in-law needed to do a minor operation, although it was not a major operation, but when she was older, the recovery was always slower.
At that moment, I did not hesitate and immediately handled all the formalities of the surgery, including paying for the surgery. At the time of my mother-in-law's surgery, I was pacing outside, silently praying in my heart that everything would go well. Luckily, the operation was successful, and my mother-in-law soon woke up and when she saw me, she smiled weakly and I almost didn't fall into tears.
After the operation, the doctor said that the mother-in-law needed to be taken care of and had to rest for at least a month. I didn't say a word, and decided to take my mother-in-law to our house to take care of her. I know that means the days ahead will be hard, but I don't have any complaints. In my heart, the health and happiness of my family is far more important than anything else.
Although the decision to take my mother-in-law home was supported by the whole family, the actual care work was far more difficult than I had imagined.
My mother-in-law's recovery after surgery requires a lot of careful care, from diet to daily activities. I work during the day and go home at night to take care of my mother-in-law, and sometimes I have to get up at night to take care of my mother-in-law when she is not feeling well. During that time, I was almost on the brink and burnout became my norm.
However, despite the pressure, every time I saw my mother-in-law's slowly recovering body and heard her gratitude to me, all the hard work and exhaustion seemed to disappear. My husband also tries to share my burden after work, and the family has become more warm and harmonious because of this incident.
One day, when I came home, I saw that the neighbors were praising me: "Xiao Zhang, you are really a good and filial daughter-in-law, and your mother-in-law is really fortunate to have you to take care of her." Hearing these words, my heart was warm and a little embarrassed, I just felt that this was what I should do.
Over time, the mother-in-law's body gradually recovered and she began to be able to move around on her own and even help with some simple household chores.
She often took my hand and said, "Thank you, my good daughter-in-law, I have worked hard for you during this time, and I will definitely do well in the future and not cause you trouble." ”
Through this experience, I deeply felt the importance of family members supporting each other. I also realized that filial piety is not just a word of words, it needs to be proven by deeds. This incident also gave me a deeper understanding and cherishing of my family, and I cherished every moment with my family even more, and understood the true meaning of home.
In the days to come, I will continue to use my love and actions to protect this home and make it full of warmth and love. I believe that as long as we are grateful and love with our hearts, then home is the warmest harbor.
