"Mom, tell your dad that we won't go home for the New Year this year. The child just came out of the full moon, so I won't toss back and forth." The other end of the phone pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, the child is young. Don’t come back this year.”
The child has just been out of the full moon, and coupled with the long distance from home, I discussed with my wife not to go back home during the New Year. I have stayed in this place since I graduated, and later became a family in this place.
The birth of the child made me have to make some choices between the child and the parent. Because the child is still young and the hometown is relatively cold, I am afraid that the child will have a fever and a cold!
So I called my mother again, and there was a beeping sound. In fact, I don't know how to say this call. I know the two old people will be very disappointed!
"Hey, my son! What's the matter?"
"Mom, tell your dad, we won't go home for the New Year this year, and the child just has a full moon, so I won't toss it back and forth!"
The phone paused...
"Oh, the child is young, and I am tossing and suffering. Don't come back this year!"
I don't know why, but my heart hurt when my mother said this!
I never thought that one day, I would not spend the Spring Festival with my parents. The Spring Festival is a day for family reunion. I am the only child in my family. I rarely go back due to work. Only during the New Year. Family reunion.
Spring Festival should be the happiest time for parents, because then they can see their children! I know all these things, but since I have my own family and sealed my baby, I really feel a little bit powerless!
After a few days,My wife received a call! The call was from my second aunt!
The second aunt said to his wife: "The old lady is in a very bad mood these days, especially when playing mahjong these days, she always loses, and she always sighs! The old man thought you would go home and bought a lot of new year goods, your dad. I know that your husband loves meat and bought dozens of catties of beef and mutton. I also know that you love fish. I bought several fresh big carps and kept them in the tank!"
The second aunt said to his wife: "Usually You are not very busy at work and go home. As an old man, I hope that your son can be reunited together during the holidays!"
After my wife hung up the phone, tears flowed from her eyes. I thought it was the second aunt. Saying something that shouldn't have made my wife sad.
When I was about to coax my wife, my wife said to me, "What's the use of raising a son? There is no way to reunite with the elderly during the Chinese New Year. Just say that our parents raised you so much for you. University is not easy, just point to your future prospects and respect them. You have a wife and children, and finally left your parents aside. They are so sad...uuuu...after my son I can’t do this, then I can’t cry to death!"
I put my wife in my arms, wiped her tears from her face, and comforted her and said, "Wife, I know you are a very good daughter-in-law. I know you are filial. If it weren’t for having children, you would definitely accompany the elderly home with me to celebrate the New Year, but it’s not because the child was just out of the full moon and he was still young! The child tossed back and forth, to have a fever and a cold. Do it?"
My wife stopped crying, and put her arms around my neck and said, "My husband, what if we take our parents over for the New Year? This is not only the best of both worlds when we consider both our parents and our baby." What's the solution? I don’t want to let you be an unfilial man because of me and my child, so that I will despise you!"
When I hugged my wife, tears flowed from my eyes at that moment. Happiness, such a considerate wife, always considers me and my parents. At that moment I swear, I will treat my wife twice as good!
So I listened to my wife’s suggestion,I drove back to my hometown and picked my parents to come to me for the New Year. Although the journey is 5 hours, it is very tiring to be honest, but compared to the parents' efforts for so many years, what is this tiring?
When my mother saw me appearing in front of her, she had tears in her eyes, and she resisted letting it flow out, and my father saw me with red eyes!
"Parents, go to my place this year for the Chinese New Year, your daughter-in-law asked me to pick you up!"
"Why are you tossing back and forth for such a long distance, take a good rest."
Tired!"
"Old man, hurry up and pack all the things that we bought, right, and bring the fish to our daughter-in-law, yes, and the soft-shelled turtle, the daughter-in-law has to make up Body!"
"Bring the spring festival couplets too, my son won't have to buy it again!"
"There is also the barrel of soybean oil, yes, and the new clothes for my grandson."
Looking at the busy parents, at that moment, I feel at ease!
Parents are old, how many years can we still live with them? The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, and the child wants to be filial and kisses! It is never too late to show filial piety to your parents.
And we also have children of our own, we can try to change the angle, when we enter the sixtieth year, when our children are not around, even the New Year is not together, that is how sad.
So go home for the New Year. Either talk to your wives and children, or take your parents. Parents are never afraid to trek for their children, but they forget the way home!
