That night, in my kitchen, my daughter Xiaofang and I had an argument.
She insisted that I be matched with her father-in-law, but I felt uncomfortable and even a little disgusted.
I asked her, confused, "Why do you want to do this?" Xiaofang insisted: "Mom, I just want you to be happy."
The family is very good, you will be very suitable. ”
I reluctantly replied, "I understand your good intentions, but I will decide for myself." ”
Xiaofang said disappointedly: "Mom, I'm just for your good, you have been alone for so many years, you should have a companion." ”
I insisted, "I'm used to being alone and don't need to change." ”
There was determination in my voice.
In the kitchen, my daughter and I confronted each other like this, and there was an inexplicable sense of embarrassment and heaviness in the air.
I was torn in my heart, thanking my daughter for her concern, but worried that our decision would hurt each other's feelings.
After the argument, I sat by the window with a heavy heart.
I have always had a close relationship with Xiaofang, and after her father died, I brought her up alone.
She is always sensible, helps me with household chores, and understands my hard work.
She often said: "Mom, you have worked hard, and when I grow up, I must repay you well." ”
Her eyes gave me comfort.
After Xiaofang married Li Qiang, I breathed a sigh of relief and felt that my daughter had a good home.
Recently, she frequently mentioned that she wanted to match me with Li Qiang's father, which made me feel sudden.
In one conversation, I said, "Son, you don't understand what I think.
I'm used to living alone. ”
She insisted: "Mom, you are not young anymore, you should have a companion." ”
Our weekend dinner was extremely tense, and Xiaofang insisted that Li Qiang's father and I try to be together.
She said, "Mom, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”
I was embarrassed and hesitated.
My father-in-law also agreed with Xiaofang's statement, and I was even more entangled.
Xiaofang said more enthusiastically: "Mom, you and your father-in-law can try to get along."
We've got your back. ”
I felt more stressed than ever and didn't know what to do.
That night, I was alone thinking about whether to accept the offer and whether to break the way I was used to.
In the end, I decided to reject my daughter's proposal and my father-in-law's proposal.
Even though they were all very supportive, I felt more comfortable living alone.
For me, accepting the change was too sudden and beyond my psychological endurance.
I had an in-depth conversation with Xiaofang, and I told her, "Xiaofang, although you are for my good, I like to live freely and freely now.
Get used to being alone and feel good. ”
Although Xiaofang was a little disappointed, she understood and respected my decision: "Mom, as long as you are happy, I will support any decision." ”
This experience made me feel stressed and distressed, but it also made me more aware of my needs and thoughts.
I began to cherish and enjoy my independent life more, and I am grateful for my daughter's care and love for me.
Despite the rejection of the possibility of starting a new relationship, life is full of hope and fulfillment.
Learn to be more honest with your feelings and cherish communication and understanding among your family.
