That day, as usual, I made breakfast for the family of three, cleaned the room, and washed all the dirty clothes, however, they did not give me the key to the new lock. Maybe they forgot it.
In the evening, Xiaole came to my house and handed over a key to me, and I had lifted my heart to put it down, but he said, "Don't let Yan Yan know." I know things are not simple.
The next day, went to the supermarket, came back a little late, rushed to my son's house to cook, did not expect, just walked to the door of their house, I heard the argument inside.
"You must have given your mom the new key."
"Who doesn't have procrastination, after a shower, underwear thrown in the dirty clothes basket, the next morning must have been washed by your mom. Looking at the shorts and bra on the clothesline, I don't have the joy of being helped, only the embarrassment of having my privacy spied on."
"She can't be like other big mothers, dancing, walking modeling steps, don't be like a camera staring at our family of three"......
I did not expect that my mother-in-law, who can be called "
Regardless of whether in the workplace or family, I think I'm a handful, but in the end, in the eyes of my daughter-in-law, I'm a person who doesn't know what's going on.
The world is so big, I want to go and see
Back home, I was in tears and told my partner their grievances: "I was close to pouring my heart out to them, and I actually landed so many bad reviews."
My partner gently patted me on the back while saying, "They're all wolves, so I'll talk to them when I get a chance."
The next is the old partner in said, "look at your colleagues, close to the travel all over China, far from the world. You used to be such a trendy person, but for them, you were left behind by other old men and women. Think about it, I am for you to suffocate panic ...... "old companion of a word, every word in my heart, do I not want to go out?
I don't even say hello, pulling the old man on the Damshang grassland to go. In the herdsman's home, witnessed the whole process of the sheep mother maternity, looked at the sheep mother nursing the appearance of the sheep, once upon a time, my son and I are not so intimate.
"Nomads on the grasslands, migrating all year round, if the mother of the sheep is also like you, can not let go of everything, this little sheep how to survive? Besides, who would want to marry a sheep that hasn't been weaned mentally?" The old companion looked at the sheep while lamenting. Obviously, this outing, I was out of anger, he was prepared.
"True motherhood is a decent exit." With that, my partner pulled out his cell phone and showed me an article.
It pretty much hit the nail on the head: the parent who doesn't want to be separated from his adult child doesn't so much love the child as he wants to have total control over the child, a control that gives them a sense of fulfillment and power, and makes them satisfied with themselves ......
"Am I, like, a mom?" I glared angrily at my old partner.
"In the salvageable category." My old partner looked at me with a smile.
The seven-day trip to the grassland, I and my old partner to take pictures, he taught me to send microblogging, teach me how to sunshine photos, how to beauty show - the same living under one roof of the two couples, the gap between me and him has been so big. The first thing I did when I returned from the dam was to go to the cell phone store, buy the Apple 6, and sell the old man's machine that calls like thunder.
The "goodbye"
After coming out of the cell phone store, I gave Xiaole a call and told him that I wanted to go to his house at night. Xiaole was surprised: "Mom, you do not have a key, directly up on it." I smiled and didn't say anything.
After dinner, my partner and I walked to Xiaole's house. Arrived at the door of his house, knocked on the door, is the rock rock opened the door. I reported to them the whereabouts of these seven days, and then, half-jokingly, half-seriously, said to the young couple, "I am ready to re-live my old age. This is my first outfit for my happy old age, aren't you guys going to sponsor me for a bit."
I shook the Apple 6 in my hand and looked at them with a smile. Rocky was the first to respond, "Mom, do you have Alipay, I'll transfer 3000 to you right now," and so, with their help, I instantly became the person with an Apple 6 and Alipay.
It was such a happy night, and when I was leaving, I took out the key from my pocket, which symbolizes ***, voice, and parental power, and quietly handed it to Xiaole, saying to him, "Mom may not come here very often in the future, and even if she does, she'll call beforehand."
Xiaole looked at me with difficulty, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Mom's not angry, she's just learning to quit."
Xiaole hugged me, and my eyes got wet all of a sudden - my real goodbye to him started with that hug, and despite being so reluctant to say goodbye, I knew that I had said goodbye late, but it was not too late.
"Mom, where are you?" I was in Lijiang when I received a WeChat from my son. I quickly took a group photo with my partner and sent it over with a picture caption: the world is so big, your father and I want to go and see.
Within a few days, Rocky forwarded a group picture of my old partner and I on a trip in his circle of friends, with the caption: my role model in my later years, my dearest in-laws. It turns out that distance not only produces beauty, but also intensifies love.
In-laws in their later years
