In an independent community in the city, Lin Lang and her mother-in-law Zhao Mei are frequent visitors here. Since Lin Lang moved here with his son, her mother-in-law Zhao Mei often came to help take care of the children. From Monday to Friday, Zhao Mei was in charge of taking care of her grandson, while Lin Lang went to work. On weekends, Zhao Mei returned to her hometown to take care of her elderly and sick mother. The neighbors all said that Lin Lang was really blessed to have such meticulous help from his mother-in-law.
Zhao Mei is over the age of six, but she is in good spirits, and she can take care of her elderly and sick mother alone. Every time she returns to her daughter's house, she cooks a hearty meal for her grandson, puts the child to sleep, and tidies up the room. As an experienced old man, Zhao Mei knows how to take care of her children very well, and can always calm her grandson down quickly.
"You're so nice, it's a great favor to have you here!" Lin Lang often thanked his mother-in-law from the bottom of his heart, "If it weren't for you coming to help every week, I really wouldn't be able to take care of it alone." ”
"Where, that's what I'm supposed to do." Zhao Mei smiled gently and said, "Your family is my concern." I also come back every week to take care of my grandson for my own convenience. ”
Today is Saturday, and Zhao Mei still returned to her hometown on time. Lin Lang walked alone in the community, looking at the bustling crowd, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't always get along so smoothly. The day before, she and her husband quarreled, and the fuse of the conflict was her mother-in-law Zhao Mei's weekend return to her hometown.
"You say, Mom goes back every week to take care of Grandma, and I'm here alone with the children, and I don't even have time to rest. She takes five days off and two days off, and I can only take five days off and one day off, where is this fair? Lin Lang said to her husband with some grievances.
The husband gently comforted his wife, "You also know that Mom is doing this to take care of Grandma. Grandma is old, and she is not very comfortable at home alone. Mom goes back every week to see it, which is also a comfort for grandma. As for your own time, you might as well discuss it with your mom and see if you can understand each other. ”
"But I'm really tired! I have to take care of my children when I go to work every day and get home, and I don't even have time for myself. Lin Lang sighed, "I just want to be alone for a while once in a while and relax." ”
The husband patted his wife on the shoulder, "I understand your thoughts. But you also have to be considerate of Mom's situation, after all, Grandma is so old. You can communicate well, and I believe that we will be able to reach a consensus. ”
When Lin Lang returned home, he saw his mother-in-law Zhao Mei who was busy in the kitchen, and plucked up the courage to speak, "Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
Zhao Mei turned around and smiled gently, "What's the matter, if my daughter is not satisfied, just say it." ”
"Actually, I've been a little tired lately. You go back every week to take care of grandma, and I'm here alone with the kids, and I don't even have time to rest. You take five days off and two days off, and I can only take five days off and one day off, which is really unfair. Lin Lang said sincerely.
"Oh, that's right." Zhao Mei nodded thoughtfully, "I also know you've been quite busy lately." Otherwise, when I am here with you and the children in the future, you can take the opportunity to rest and go out for a walk occasionally. By the time I go back to take care of my grandmother on the weekend, you'll be able to rest at home. That's okay, right? ”
"Really? Thank you so much! Lin Lang said happily, "I've been a little tired recently, and having the opportunity to be alone for a while has really helped me a lot." ”
"There's nothing to thank you for, we're family." Zhao Mei smiled gently and said, "In the future, we will communicate more and understand each other, and we will definitely be able to do things better." ”
Since that day, Lin Lang and his mother-in-law Zhao Mei's mode of getting along has undergone subtle changes. Zhao Mei took care of her daughter-in-law more considerately, always paying attention to Lin Lang's mood and state, for fear that she would be too tired. And Lin Lang also learned to take the initiative to communicate with his mother-in-law and express his thoughts and needs.
One day when he came home from work, Lin Lang saw Zhao Mei patiently coaxing her grandson who had just fallen asleep. "Mom, don't disturb the child when he's asleep, you can rest for a while." Lin Lang whispered.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to see him again." Zhao Mei replied softly, "By the way, you came back early today, do you want us to go for a walk together?" The weather has been so good lately, it's very comfortable to take a walk. ”
Lin Lang was a little surprised, and quickly nodded, "Okay, then let's go together." I was thinking about going out and relaxing. ”
The two of them walked out of the neighborhood together and took a leisurely walk in the nearby park. Zhao Mei said two sentences from time to time, asking Lin Lang about his recent work and life. Lin Lang also took the initiative to confide in his mother-in-law about his thoughts and troubles.
"Mom, I've been really tired lately. Although you are helping to take care of the children, my own time and energy are always distracted. Lin Lang said sincerely, "I also want to be alone for a while once in a while and relax myself." ”
"I know, and I think you might feel that way." Zhao Mei said gently, "Otherwise, we can discuss it in the future, you can rest at home by yourself on the weekend, and I will go back to take care of grandma." Usually, we take care of the children together and try to share some of the burden. ”
"Really? Thank you so much! Lin Lang said happily, "I really need time alone to relax and relax occasionally." ”
"You're welcome, we're family." Zhao Mei smiled and patted the back of Lin Lang's hand.
In this way, Lin Lang and Zhao Mei's mode of getting along gradually became harmonious. Whenever Zhao Mei wanted to go back to take care of her grandmother, Lin Lang would take the initiative to rest at home. In normal times, the two people will also take care of the children according to their respective time and status.
One day, Lin Lang returned home from work early from the company. Opening the door, she was surprised to see a strange woman sitting in the living room. "Who are you? This is my home! Lin Lang asked vigilantly.
"Oh, you are your daughter-in-law Lin Lang, I'm a friend of Aunt Zhao, and I'm here to help take care of the children today." The strange woman said with a smile.
Lin Lang hurriedly looked back at the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Mei busy there. "Mom, why are you all back? I can take care of the child alone! ”
"Oops, you're too tired to take care of the kids alone, so I asked my friend to help. Come back early today and have a good rest. Zhao Mei still didn't notice Lin Lang's displeasure.
"Mom, I'm really fine, don't worry about it!" Lin Lang's tone was full of anxiety. She felt that the little personal time she had finally won was taken away by her mother-in-law.
"What's wrong, daughter? Is our arrival bothering you? Zhao Mei saw Lin Lang's displeasure.
At this moment, the child ran out of the room, "Mommy, grandma, I'm hungry!" ”
"Okay baby, I'll cook for you." Zhao Mei took matters into her own hands, telling her friends to take care of the children while being busy.
Lin Lang looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was mixed. She knew that she shouldn't be angry with her mother-in-law, after all, Zhao Mei had always been well-intentioned.
"Mom, actually, I came back early today just to relax at home alone, but I didn't expect you all to come back." Lin Lang tried to communicate with his mother-in-law.
"What do you say? We're back to make it easier for you! You're working so hard with a child alone, of course we're here to help. Zhao Mei looked puzzled.
Lin Lang's mood became more complicated. She understands that her mother-in-law has good intentions, but why can't she understand her needs? A feeling of helplessness spread in my heart.
Just when Lin Lang was entangled in his heart, the child suddenly had a fever. Zhao Mei and her friends were busy reducing the child's fever, while Lin Lang watched anxiously from the side, secretly regretting his complaint just now.
"Mom, was I too willful just now? It's me who was too selfish to thank you properly for your help over the years. Lin Lang whispered.
Zhao Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said gently: "Silly girl, why would you say that?" We are family, and these are all as they should be. We are all for the good of the children, you don't think too tired of yourself. ”
Lin Lang looked at his mother-in-law gratefully, and understood in his heart that his mother-in-law was indeed well-intentioned, but the lifestyles of the two of them were too different. I must learn to empathize and understand my mother-in-law's situation.
"I know you've been helping us all these years, it's me who was so selfish." Lin Lang said sincerely, "I only want to be alone for a while occasionally to recover myself, but I also understand your considerations. In the future, we can communicate more and find a way to be considerate of each other. ”
"Okay, we have to talk more. You kid, how could I not understand your thoughts? Zhao Mei gently stroked her daughter's hair, "As long as we understand each other and tolerate each other, I believe we will be able to do things better." ”
Lin Lang nodded, tears flashing with emotion in his eyes. She thanked God for allowing her to have such a considerate mother-in-law.
From that day on, the relationship between Lin Lang and Zhao Mei gradually eased. Lin Lang took the initiative to communicate with his mother-in-law and expressed his thoughts and needs. She said that everyone needs time alone and that taking a break will allow her to take better care of her family. Although Zhao Mei was difficult to understand at first, she finally agreed.
"Mom, I know you've always had good intentions to take care of the kids and me. But I also have my own life and occasionally need space to be alone. When you go back to take care of grandma every week, can I rest at home? Lin Lang said sincerely.
"I understand your thoughts." Zhao Mei nodded, "When I go back in the future, you can rest at home." I will ask my friends to come and help with the children regularly so that you can have your own time. ”
"Thank you so much!" Lin Lang said gratefully, "I am really lucky to have such a considerate mother-in-law as you." ”
"You're welcome, that's as it should be. We are a family, and caring for each other and understanding is the most important thing. Zhao Mei said with a gentle smile.
From then on, when Zhao Mei returned to her hometown every week, she would tell Lin Lang to take good care of herself in advance, and on weekends, she would also remind Lin Lang to take time to relax. Lin Lang also took the initiative to visit her mother-in-law and accompany her to take care of her elderly mother. The two people are getting along more and more harmoniously, and each is more understanding of each other's situation.
Once, Lin Lang met a neighbor in the community. "Lin Lang, you look much better lately. Have you been having a good time lately? The neighbor asked curiously.
"Yes, my mother-in-law has been very nice to me lately and often reminds me to take care of myself." Lin Lang said with relief, "Our relationship is getting more and more harmonious. ”
"That's great!" The neighbor smiled and said, "I remember you used to have a lot of fights. It seems that through communication and understanding, you have finally resolved the conflict. ”
"yes, I couldn't quite understand my mother-in-law's thoughts at first. But then we were honest with each other, we were considerate of each other, and we got better. Lin Lang smiled and said, "The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law does need to be maintained, but as long as both parties can respect each other, they will definitely get along well." ”
"You're so right! The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed very delicate, and it is necessary to give each other space and understand each other. The neighbor nodded in agreement, "You guys are the best example." I hope you all have good health and a happy life as a family! ”
"Thank you for your blessings." Lin Lang said sincerely, "I also wish you and your family happiness!" ”
Saying goodbye to his neighbors, Lin Lang slowly paced home. She couldn't help but sigh about her relationship with her mother-in-law. It turns out that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also need to understand and be considerate of each other. Only mutual respect can maintain a harmonious family.
At this moment, Lin Lang saw Zhao Mei standing at the door of the community, as if waiting for something.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Lin Lang asked curiously.
"Oh, daughter, I'm waiting for you to come back." Zhao Mei said gently, "I was thinking just now, should we go to the supermarket to buy something together?" You've been resting at home lately, so it's time to go out for a walk. ”
"Okay, I just want to go out for a walk." Lin Lang readily agreed, "Let's go together." ”
The two walked to a nearby supermarket with a smile and a smile. When choosing fresh fruits and vegetables, Zhao Mei would ask Lin Lang about her preferences from time to time, and try to buy some things she likes to eat. Lin Lang also took the initiative to help his mother-in-law choose the ingredients that suited him.
"Mom, I just met a neighbor in the community, and she said that I seem to be more energetic lately." Lin Lang said with a smile, "It's all because you have been very good to me during this time, so that I can finally rest and relax." ”
"Really? That's great. Zhao Mei nodded with satisfaction, "You know, our family is the most important. As long as we are considerate of each other and tolerant of each other, everything will be fine. ”
"yes, I see." Lin Lang looked at his mother-in-law gratefully, "In the future, we must communicate more and don't have any misunderstandings." ”
"Well, you have to communicate more." Zhao Mei smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that there is a new restaurant that has opened recently, and the dishes are good, why don't we try it today?" ”
"Okay, let's go try it then." Lin Lang said with great interest, "I just want to try a new restaurant recently. ”
So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily came to the newly opened restaurant. While enjoying the food, they also talked about their lives and shared their joys, sorrows and sorrows. Such a harmonious atmosphere made Lin Lang feel the warmth of home. She is deeply aware that as long as there is mutual respect and understanding, the relationship between family members will be maintained well.
The children grew up, and the family's life was on track. Sometimes, Lin Lang will recall those disputes at the beginning, and he can't help but feel the subtlety of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It turns out that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also need to understand and understand each other. Only mutual respect can maintain a harmonious family.
