The daughter-in-law gave her mother's family 20,000 yuan for the annual fee, but only 1,000 for me, and told me to buy shrimp and meat
One morning in the winter moon, the sky was overcast and snowflakes were falling quietly.
I tidied up my clothes, cleaned the house, and sat on the couch for a break, holding a cup of warm tea in my hands.
The daughter-in-law came back with two large pieces of meat.
Mom, your pickled sausage last year was so delicious. I bought more this year, and I plan to pickle some for my mother. ”
I walked over and saw that these two pieces of meat weighed more than 30 catties. Oh, my God! How long will it take to deal with this!
Mom, I still have some things to deal with, you can take your time at home. She put down the meat, took the child Tongtong and left in a hurry.
My daughter-in-law's voice faded away, and I was alone.
I looked at the ** whose hands were already red from the cold, alas! What now? You can only take your time!
I was busy until the evening, and I finally processed the 30 catties of cured meat.
I hung them on the balcony to dry, with a piece of cardboard underneath.
Finally, I was able to warm up in bed. Half-asleep, I heard my daughter-in-law come back, and they must have been hungry. I struggled to open my sour eyes and prepared to get up and go cook.
While tasting the hot noodle soup I made for her, my daughter-in-law took out a stack of 100-yuan bills from her bag.
She counted out ten and handed them to me: "Mom, the Spring Festival is coming, this is the red envelope I gave you for the Spring Festival." ”
You can go to the streets these days and buy some Chinese New Year ingredients. For example, buy a leg of lamb and add some shrimp, beef, and some vegetables. It's also convenient to have it ready in advance. ”
I took the ten bills, and my mind was full of thoughts, and the things that my daughter-in-law had explained were swirling in my mind.
This amount of money may not be enough to buy the ingredients you need. Is this still a Chinese New Year red envelope?
Anyway, I decided not to worry too much about it. It is not easy for sons and daughters-in-law to earn money.
Although my family planted a few acres of land, this Spring Festival, I still decided to go back to my hometown to get some money.
Just two days later, my grandson also had a holiday. I told my daughter-in-law that she wanted to go back to her hometown in the afternoon and bring two chickens, and she readily agreed.
After lunch, I felt a little dizzy and lay down in bed for a break.
My wife called** and persuaded me to rest at home, he also missed his grandson, and he planned to send chickens, just like me.
I specifically told him to bring 3,000 yuan.
In my confusion, the echo of my daughter-in-law came, and she began to play ** on the balcony.
The house was quiet, and her voice pierced my heart like a needle.
Mom, I'm back. My mother-in-law has already prepared the sausage, and I will send it to you in a few days. Also, as soon as my husband's money arrives, I will transfer 20,000 yuan to you, which you can use to buy New Year's goods. ”
My mother-in-law, I have already given her 1,000 yuan. I just bought her a down jacket. I'm good enough for my daughter-in-law.
By the way, my mother-in-law came back to get chickens and ducks, and the home-raised ones were so delicious that I couldn't buy them. I'll send you one when the time comes. ”
Listening to my daughter-in-law and her in-laws talking cordially, I felt a chill.
I'm here to take care of them like a babysitter and with all my heart. But they only gave me 1,000 yuan, and they specially mentioned it. It's chilling.
I originally wanted to talk to my son, but what's the use of thinking about it? It will only make their relationship more strained.
When my daughter-in-law left, I came out of the bedroom and saw the down jacket on the sofa.
That down jacket, I saw when I took my grandson to the supermarket. discount**, only sold for 68 yuan.
I couldn't help but sneer, depressed in my heart. I'm still here, right or wrong?
Originally, my wife and I lived a stable life in the countryside, cultivating a few acres of thin fields and raising a few chickens and ducks. But my daughter-in-law suddenly had a ** and summoned me to the city.
The grandson needs to take him to school, and the daughter-in-law can't take care of these matters because she has changed jobs. So, I had to leave my wife alone in my hometown and come to the city to take care of my grandson.
As soon as I arrived in the city, I was busy like a spinning top.
My son works outside the home and can only come home a few times a year. The daughter-in-law goes to work after breakfast in the morning and does not come back until the evening.
I wake up early in the morning to make breakfast, then drop off my grandchildren at school, and then go home to do the laundry and clean up. Then make lunch and wait for the grandson to come home from school to eat.
Sometimes I want to go back to my hometown to see my wife, but I can only find time on Sundays and go back with my grandchildren.
I thought that my wholehearted dedication could be exchanged for my daughter-in-law's understanding and support, but the reality made me feel cold.
I decided to break the silence and spread everything out.
At night, I watched my daughter-in-law busy on the balcony and walked over to stuff 1,000 yuan into her hand.
Jingjing, I'll give you back the 1,000 yuan. I decided to go back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year. As you get older, your body can't keep up, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you anymore. ”
The daughter-in-law was obviously stunned and said, "You go back to your hometown for the New Year, what should we do?" Also, you won't be unconcerned about Kiritoro, right? ”
You can go to your mother's place for dinner. Tongtong is my grandson, and also your mother's grandson, anyone can take care of it. ”
Before I finished speaking, I was already a little excited, tears rolling in my eyes.
The daughter-in-law ignored me, turned away in a huff, and went back to the room to close the door with a bang. My heart also completely cooled.
I went back to my room, packed my bags, and the doorbell rang suddenly. When I opened the door, I saw my wife carrying freshly slaughtered poultry.
I greeted him with a smile and left together. My wife was puzzled at first, but I briefly explained the situation, and he sighed deeply and said that I had done the right thing.
Of course, I didn't forget to bring those poultry. Now, they're not worth my attention.
It's not that I'm losing my temper, but through this incident, I saw the true face of my daughter-in-law and decided to think more about myself.
My wife and I supported each other on the way to the station in the snow.
I have already thought that in the future, I will live in my hometown with my wife. Watch the sunrise and sunset every day, take care of the poultry, and grow some vegetables in front of the door.
At my age, the days ahead may not be numbered. It's time to start thinking about yourself.
As for growing old in the future, I'll go with the flow.
