Mother-in-law's milk
Text and pictures: Zhao Panpan
Our family of three moved to a new home with expectations and joy. I have cleaned all the wedding houses I had lived in the town for three years, and moved away all the things I should have moved away, and there was almost nothing left...
said goodbye happily to the neighbors, but my heart was always full of reluctance. Because I have a particularly important relative in my hometown, I joined the team of empty-nest elderly people after I moved, and she is my mother-in-law’s milk.
The name of mother-in-law milk is in the local dialect of my hometown. In fact, it is my mother-in-law's mother-in-law, that is, my husband's grandmother.
Although my mother-in-law is over 70 years old and is not tall, she is still very healthy. She picks up two pieces of weeds at home to plant some seasonal vegetables. No matter what the weather is, she can always get a lot of harvest.
She always gives me fresh dishes as soon as possible, and then go to the morning market to buy fresh ribs for me to make soup. I only talked about the tip of the iceberg and the love she loved me as my granddaughter-in-law.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law work outside all year round. My husband and child uncle were raised by grandma since childhood. I am grateful to her. She raised her two grandchildren very well and was very sensible. The most important thing grandma said is that our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship for several generations, and they have never blushed.
Yes, I feel it too. Our new home in the city was my father-in-law and mother-in-law who were busy decorating the house and outside, so we didn't worry about it. Because of such a family, I feel that the family is very warm!

I have mentioned more than once that my grandmother and I moved away with me, but she said that I am not used to living in the city, so it is great to be in my hometown. I chatted with a few old mothers (read the third tone, meaning "old lady" in dialect), and I am more comfortable watching people play cards.
I repeatedly persuaded her, and she had to say to me with tears in her eyes that this is where she lived for the rest of her life, and she couldn't bear to leave!
Seeing her sad look, I had to give up.
I went back to my hometown that day and called her, and she was so happy. Knowing that I was going back, she waited at her doorstep early. Asked her what she said everything was fine.
She said that the pomegranate in my hometown is very well-behaved, so I will pick more for my great-grandson to eat later.

I promised my grandma that she would visit her frequently. Before leaving, I asked me to go home quickly. Actually, I knew that her tears were about to shed and I didn't want me to see them. This is the pain of the empty nest elderly.
Then I thought, in fact, the old people hope that their children and grandchildren will be outstanding, and that the sky will be high and the birds will fly. Even if they are lonely, they will be satisfied to see our younger generations live a good life.
This is my mother-in-law's breasts. Although I have no blood relationship with me, because of the bond of a great-grandson, no, I think it is because of each other's kindness and good family tradition that makes us as close as grandparents and grandchildren!
Family affection sometimes does not require blood ties, but spiritual connections.
