With the arrival of the New Year, many children who have gone abroad have also begun to end their vacation to return home and return to their small families to embark on a new work journey. In the process, a 63-year-old mother, Aunt Xu, and her daughter had a fierce quarrel, which became the third major conflict between their short 7-day annual leave.
While packing her luggage, her daughter said angrily to Aunt Xu, "Mom, I will never come back to accompany you for the New Year." I gave up vacations, travel, and the opportunity to spend the New Year with my husband and children, all in order to spend the New Year with you. But why are you so stubborn? Aunt Sun cried aggrievedly: "If you don't come back, you won't come back, I will provide for you like an ancestor when you go home, but you are still unhappy." I'm old, I really don't know what you like, you train me every day, make me dizzy, I don't know how my life is over! ”
Next, Aunt Xu recounted the conflict between the two during her daughter's 7-day annual leave when she went home. The daughter came back on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and went home to accompany Aunt Xu for the New Year for the first time in 10 years of marriage. The daughter offended her in-laws for this, and she was furious with her daughter's husband. Despite all these difficulties, the daughter returned home without hesitation.
The day after her daughter returned home, she proposed to take Aunt Xu to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods. In the fruit area, the daughter took a fancy to a pound and sold it for 179 yuan of oranges, but Aunt Xu resolutely blocked, thinking that next to 99 yuan a pound of oranges is more cost-effective. Similar contradictions have been played out in the watermelon selection, weighing area and seasoning area. Aunt Xu always chooses cheap ** goods, while her daughter insists on buying high-quality goods at regular prices.
After 3 hours of shopping in the supermarket, Aunt Xu denied her daughter any regular-priced goods she had selected, which eventually led to them refusing to even spend 5 cents on shopping bags at checkout. The daughter felt helpless about this, but she endured the old man and asked her to replace the food bag that she had just ripped off. Eventually, the two of them carried something in their hands and carried their shopping to the car with great difficulty.
During this seven-day annual vacation, the conflict between mother and daughter did not stop at the supermarket. During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the daughter made 6 dishes, but for the leftovers, the mother firmly opposed throwing them away, believing that it was a waste. The daughter insisted that eating leftovers was not good for her health, which led to a heated argument. A similar conflict erupted again on the first day of the new year, when the daughter made eight dishes, but the mother insisted on keeping the leftovers. This escalated the conflict between the two and the quarrel intensified.
On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, my daughter wanted to take an egg and boil it to eat, but when she opened the refrigerator, everything changed. Plates full of leftovers that slipped from the fridge smashed to the ground, sparking a new round of conflicts. The daughter finally lost her patience and threw all the leftovers and pickles and stinky tofu into the trash, and resolutely left her mother's house.
Aunt Xu felt guilty and confused about this. She reflects on her own lifestyle in the past and feels that she has not been able to make her daughter's annual leave happy. She was skeptical about her eating and drinking habits, but felt that this lifestyle was good enough for her. After her daughter left, she silently comforted herself: "Daughter has a daughter's life, let's go, don't interfere with each other." ”
In this story, it may be difficult for us to judge who is right and who is wrong between Aunt Xu and her daughter, after all, each person's understanding of family and lifestyle is unique. Perhaps, we can only get some inspiration from it: filial piety to parents is not only a material effort, but also a careful understanding of each other's hearts. Every family has its own way of getting along, and understanding and respect are the keys to building a harmonious relationship.
