This article was popular all over the internet for a time, and many people lined up. Someone said, "When I was most tired with my child, she didn't stand up. She is old, and I look on coldly. " Others said indignantly, "When I first got married, I didn't see how sincere my in-laws were. When the child was born, they didn't pay or contribute. Why should I support the elderly? "
I can't completely deny these people's views. I want to tell you the fact that there is no law that the elderly must help with the baby, but children have the responsibility and obligation to support the elderly. Most parents are just used to paying, caring and taking care of their children, so they will help with the baby. I hope everyone will not take it for granted that the elderly take care of the baby, but should be grateful. Although this is a fact, it should be an indisputable fact that in life, most elderly people will choose to help with their children. Sometimes, when children ask the elderly to help with their children, they will be sternly rejected by their parents. At this time, children may have resentment and blame for the elderly. In fact, there is a sad pain behind the old man's refusal, but he is afraid that his children will worry, so he chooses to bear it alone. My friend Xiaoyun's mother-in-law is such an old man.
Xiaoyun and her husband are in free love, and their family circumstances are not particularly good. They are basically naked marriages. Xiaoyun is a white-collar worker in an enterprise, and her husband is a programmer in an enterprise. In order to take root in the city, they vowed to buy a suite in the city.
After two years of marriage, they lived a frugal life. Xiaoyun seldom buys clothes, and even skin care products are only the most basic. As the saying goes, "Qi Xin and his wife are penniless". After their efforts, they bought a house in the city as they wished.
A year after buying a house, Xiaoyun became pregnant. Her husband understands her and wants her to quit her job and have a baby at home, but Xiaoyun insists on going to work. In order to take care of Xiaoyun's diet, her mother-in-law came from a small county to take care of it. Although Xiaoyun and her mother-in-law have different eating habits, Xiaoyun is also very moved by her mother-in-law's accommodation.
Later, Xiaoyun successfully gave birth to her daughter, and her mother-in-law took care of her day and night, while preparing nutritious and delicious meals for Xiaoyun and taking care of her children. In order to let Xiaoyun have a good sleep, her mother-in-law stayed with her children all night. A month later, my mother-in-law lost a lot of weight. It is also because of her mother-in-law's wholehearted care that Xiaoyun can return to the workplace carefree.
In an instant, the child is three years old and has already gone to kindergarten. Xiaoyun has also adjusted her job so that she can have more time to take care of her family and children. After Xiaoyun was transferred, her mother-in-law proposed to go home and rest for a while. In recent years, she has overdrawn, and her health has begun to suffer. Xiaoyun immediately agreed that her mother-in-law had worked really hard in recent years. Now that she has been transferred by herself, she can take care of her family. Mother-in-law should go back to rest.
After about half a year, the leader suddenly arranged for Xiaoyun to take care of a project, and Xiaoyun couldn't attend to his family. Xiaoyun wanted to find a nanny, but her husband felt more at ease to let his mother take care of him, so Xiaoyun called her mother-in-law and explained the situation. Unexpectedly, the old man refused, and her mother-in-law said anxiously, "I have no time to take care of the children recently, and I am busy." Then she hung up.
Hearing her mother-in-law's refusal, Xiaoyun was not angry, but rather puzzled because she felt that her mother-in-law was not such a person. If she is such a person, she will not take care of herself and her children wholeheartedly. With full of doubts, Xiaoyun decided to ask for leave to go back to his hometown. When she took her children back to her hometown, she found her mother-in-law on crutches.
It turns out that my mother-in-law accidentally fell down some time ago, and once people get old, their bones become brittle. The doctor originally advised her to rest in a wheelchair, but she didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to worry, so she didn't tell them that she lived alone with crutches.
Knowing the truth, Xiaoyun burst into tears. She hates why she didn't come earlier and why she didn't often come back to see her mother-in-law. Finally, Xiaoyun took her mother-in-law back to the city and explained the situation to the company. Then she took a long vacation and took care of her mother-in-law at home.
After reading the story, I don't know how to describe my mood at the moment. I think I have read this passage: "Maybe what parents give is not the best in the world, but it must be the best they can give."
In fact, in our life, most parents are as simple, hardworking and considerate as Wen Xiaoyun's mother-in-law. Sometimes I feel that I am too old to help my children too much. The only thing they can do is not to disturb the children.
Finally, I want to tell you that in the hearts of parents, we will always be children. When they were young, they carried all the burdens of life for us. When they are old, they are still worried about us.
We can't stop people from dying, but we can try our best to give our parents more company. You know, the more company we have, the less regrets we will have in the future.
