I gave gifts to my parents' family during the New Year, but my mother thought I was not as good as my sister, and my sister had a gift in return, but I didn't

"Why did you come back alone? What about your sister? My mom asked disgruntled as she took the gift from me.

"Mom, the company's projects are busy this year, I can't leave, Lili company has an early holiday, so I'll come back first." I explained, but there was a hint of bitterness in my heart.

Every year when I go back to my parents' house for the Chinese New Year, my mother compares me with my sister. My younger sister Li Lili has been sweeter than me since she was a child, and she won my mother's heart. And I have a wooden personality, I am not good at words, and in the eyes of my mother, I am not as good as my sister in anything.

"She, she called a long time ago and said that she wanted to come back to see you, no, she bought you a new dress, saying that she brought it back from abroad, which is precious." As she spoke, my mom pulled out a red cashmere coat from her bag and smiled on her face.

I looked at the coat and had mixed feelings. I buy gifts for my mother every year, but I've never seen her so happy.

"Mom, I bought you a cashmere scarf, can you try to warm it up?" I took out my carefully selected scarf and wanted to get my mother's attention.

"Let it go." My mom replied without looking up, her eyes still fixed on the coat.

I silently put the scarf on the table, and my heart was like a stone blocked, heavy.

In the evening, Li Lili came back, and as soon as she entered the door, she hugged my mother affectionately and coquettishly, saying "Mom, I want to kill you". My mother was coaxed by her to close her mouth, poured water for her, and brought fruit to her, which simply treated Li Lili as a baby pimple.

"Lili, the coat you bought for your mother is so beautiful, and my mother likes it very much." My mom praised as she stroked her coat.

"Mom likes it, I specially picked it, you must be very energetic when you wear it." Li Lili said with a smile.

I sat on the sidelines and listened to their conversation, and my heart was even more uncomfortable. My mother didn't even look at the scarf I bought, but the coat my sister bought made her so happy.

"Sister, you're back." Li Lili finally noticed me and greeted me with a smile.

"Hmm." I replied lightly, but I was thinking in my heart, is she embarrassed to call me sister?

"Sister, why didn't you bring your brother-in-law and children back this year?" Li Lili asked.

"They also have to go to work, so they don't have time." I said perfunctorily.

"Oh." Li Lili nodded and didn't say anything more.

I know that Li Lili is deliberately embarrassing me. I've been married for five years and haven't had children, which is my heart disease and the reason why my mom keeps counting me.

"Look at Lili, who has been married for three years and has children who are two years old, what about you? There is no movement in the stomach at all, is there something wrong with the body? My mom used to say that about me, and my ears were calloused.

Why don't I want to have a baby? My husband and I have been to the hospital many times for check-ups and there is no problem. The doctor said that it may be that the psychological pressure is too much, so I can relax and go with the flow.

But how can I relax? My mother called me every three days, and the people in the village were always talking behind my back, saying that I was a "hen that couldn't lay eggs".

These words, like a needle, pierced my heart and left me breathless.

After dinner, Li Lili took out a delicate gift box and handed it to my mother: "Mom, this is the supplement I bought for you, you have to take good care of your body." ”

"Ouch, Lili, you're so sweet, Mom doesn't know how to thank you." My mom took the gift box and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit.

As I watched this scene, my heart became even more sour. I bought my mother supplements every year, but she was never happier than she is today.

"Sister, this is a gift I brought to you." Li Lili took out another gift box and handed it to me.

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect her to bring me a gift.

"Thank you." I took the gift box, a little confused.

"Open it and take a look, do you like it or not?" Li Lili said with a smile.

I opened the gift box and inside was a beautiful necklace.

"This necklace is so beautiful, thank you, Lili." I say it from the bottom of my heart.

"If you like it." Li Lili smiled and said, "I specially picked it, I hope you can like it." ”

I put on the necklace and looked at myself in the mirror, and suddenly I felt a lot better.

"This necklace is very flattering to your temperament." Li Lili said, "Sister, you don't look good today, are you too tired from work?" ”

"Well, there have been a lot of projects in the company recently, and I'm really a little tired." I say.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you have to pay attention to your body." Li Lili said with concern, "The body is the capital of the revolution, if you are exhausted, who will take care of your brother-in-law and children?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, Li Lili's words hit my heart like a bolt of lightning.

yes, I can't go on like this, I want to pull myself together, for myself and for my family.

The next day, I woke up early to help my mother with the housework. My mother smiled with relief when she saw me offering to help.

"Mom, I'll wash the dishes for you." I say.

"No need, you go and rest, I'll just wash." Mother said.

"It's okay, I'm not tired." I insisted on washing the dishes.

My mother didn't say anything more, just looked at me with love in her eyes.

I know that my mother has always loved me, but she is more subtle in her expression. The reason why she always compares me to my sister is because she wants me to get better.

In the future, I will care more about my mother, communicate with her more, and let her feel my love.

After breakfast, I went out for a walk with Li Lili.

"Lili, thank you." I say it sincerely.

"Thank me for what?" Li Lili asked puzzled.

"Thank you for the necklace you gave me yesterday, and thank you for what you said to me." I said, "I've always felt like I'm inferior to you, but now I've finally figured it out, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and I should be confident and don't always live in your shadow." ”

"Sister, if you think like this, I'm relieved." Li Lili said with a smile, "We are a family, and we should support each other and make progress together." ”

I nodded, my heart filled with gratitude.

I know that my life has just begun, and the possibilities are endless. I want to try to live my life to the fullest and make my mother proud of me.

Since then, I no longer struggle with my mother's partiality, nor do I compare myself with my sister. I work hard, live hard, and run my own small family.

I started learning some parenting knowledge to prepare me for becoming a qualified mother in the future.

I also often call my mother to care for her and buy her something she likes.

My mother was very relieved to see the change in me. She no longer compares me with my sister, but often praises me for being sensible and filial.

I know that I have finally been recognized by my mother and have found my own happiness.
