Filial piety is born from the heart, and filial piety is born with a heart
In 2007, with the support and encouragement of these sincere brothers, and with the concerted efforts of my team, this year was a year of harvest and joy, and I bought a Buick LaCrosse car for her on her birthday, bought her diamond necklaces and bracelets, and bought her a lot of clothes and cosmetics...... At the same time, I am also beginning to seriously prepare for the goal of the second five-year plan, although my parents have always insisted on waiting until my eldest nephew Chen Xiaowei is admitted to university, and I may be willing to come to Kunshan with my son to enjoy his old age, but I don't know if his body can support this day, wait until this day......
He has always said to me with guilt: "I was busy with work and didn't take care of your eldest sister and second sister, very guilty and ashamed of them, when the two of them were a 2-year-old, a 6-year-old because of a cold by the barefoot doctor Zhu Huairong in the brigade to give me a deaf and dumb shot of tentomycin, will call my father, and then never shouted again, I still remember the voice when they called my father, I will never forget it in my life, I really want them to call me dad again!" Second sister, I don't worry about her, she has a good mother-in-law who is reasonable and full of high-level intellectuals, but I must help your eldest sister train your eldest nephew to graduate from university, so that I can go to Kunshan with you to live with peace of mind...... Dad and I will often talk about some family affairs like close friends, in fact, I understand the profound meaning of his words: he wants to repay the emotional debt of his eldest daughter, and wants to educate the child for her eldest daughter, so as to make up for the inadvertent cause of the eldest daughter's lifelong regrets, and he feels deeply guilty! So even if they have never brought grandchildren as grandparents, I have no opinion, I know my father's inner thoughts, I think he did the right thing, and I also clearly told him: Son, I firmly support your decision! In fact, I did everything I could to help my sisters.
Every year during the May Day, Eleventh and Spring Festival holidays, I would like to go back to my hometown and be with my parents, my wife does not object and dislike, but thinks that this father is very kind and easy-going and kind, she has said more than once in her little sisters: My husband's family style is quite good, very harmonious! And my wife and I have been trying to do that I will do the good people and good things on their side, and she will show up the bad things, and vice versa! The principle and bottom line that we have always grasped is one: a bowl of water is even, and both sides are treated with filial piety like parents. I have never gnawed the old people, before and after living separately from my father-in-law and mother-in-law, because of the busy work, we have always been at my father-in-law's mother-in-law's house to have dinner, mainly because my wife and son eat dinner, because I often eat out to entertain customers and reception, I will also pay 1500 yuan per month to my father-in-law, I do not have the habit and upbringing of gnawing the old.
Of course, no matter which long holiday we return to our hometown, the first thing we do when we enter the door is to ask my wife to throw 2000-3000 yuan to buy vegetables for my mother, because after we come back, the three sisters and brothers-in-law and nephews will come back for reunion, and the expenses are quite large. In May 2007, I returned to my hometown three or four days after the long vacation, and I was going to return to Kunshan tomorrow, and my mother, who had been holding back for several days in my heart, finally couldn't help but say to me: "Son, the old-fashioned double-cylinder washing machine in the house is always broken, and every time I wash clothes, my mother has a sore back, can you help me buy a fully automatic washing machine?!".
On the way back, I said to my wife, who was sitting next to me, "It seems that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are also using this old-fashioned double-cylinder washing machine!"
After I returned to Kunshan, I also dragged my father-in-law and mother-in-law to the Kunshan commercial building to pick up a fully automatic washing machine, and my father-in-law, who had finished the second plane with me, stood on the side and said in that hard-tied tone: "The old double cylinder in my house is still good and can be used, and I want you to buy it for us." ”,
"It is my son-in-law's heart and filial piety to buy it for you, as for whether you use it or not, even if you put it over there and rot, it is your business, and it has nothing to do with me!", this time I shook her courage and slammed her back, I could see that although my father-in-law had a hard tone of a dead duck, he was still very happy in his heart.
Every time I return to my hometown during a long vacation, my father and I will talk about a lot of things, including the planning plans and goals for work and career, and the places to pay attention to when developing guests...... Of course, I will also care about whether he has gone to the house of his uncle and uncle to run the door and chat? These two elders can be said to be pulled out by him! Frequent chatting can also make him feel better and help him recover from nose cancer.
He would also take the initiative to tell me things that were uncomfortable in his heart, just as he could see into my heart, until October 2007, when he told me, "Hey...... Son, I haven't been to your uncle and uncle's house for a long time, and I can't raise my head when I go, your third sister and brother-in-law borrowed the money from the little uncle and uncle to buy a house, and I haven't returned it to them, and my uncle and uncle won't say anything, after all, there are still aunts and aunts!", I understand my father's thoughts: the third sister has not paid back the money borrowed by the elders in 2003 because of the purchase of a house, and my parents can't raise their heads in front of the elders, and I feel very inferior! I immediately told my father, I'll solve this matter, I'll help the third sister pay off all the debts between the elders here, and if the two of them want to owe, they can owe my brother alone! Dad didn't express support or opposition, but just gave a gentle and faint sigh from his nasal cavity, I know what he meant: his son has not asked their old couple to spend money and make efforts since he got married, and now his son has to help his sister pay off his debts, he can't say what he can, but the entanglements and grievances accumulated in his heart made him go with the flow of "grace" again...... I could even read a look in the blink of his eyes......
At the end of the long vacation, I drove alone to the third sister's house 170 kilometers away on the last day, and the third sister and brother-in-law knew that the younger brother was very happy to come, and wanted to go to the hotel to find a few friends to accompany me and invite me to rub a meal. In fact, when the third sister came to my house in Kunshan two years ago, she told me that when he had obtained the key to the house, I was really happy for my sister and brother-in-law, and immediately opened my wallet and a pile of banknotes of 2,600 yuan. So my brother-in-law and sister were very happy to see my brother coming, so after we drank at home for three rounds, I began to talk to them, and no one else was present anyway: "Sister, brother-in-law, you have the money to invite your brother to a restaurant for dinner, but you have borrowed the money from your uncle and uncle for so many years, why haven't you returned it to them yet? In this way, how much do you still owe to your uncle and uncle, as well as our eldest sister and second sister, how much money did you lend to you for the clothing business in 2000? I lend it to you, if you owe it, I owe it all to my brother and me, you tell me the number, and I will ask my wife to pay you the money immediately, but you have to write an IOU to my wife, and you can pay it back whenever you want, and you will not ask for any interest!"
I can't blame it, the third brother-in-law's family is poor, all the money for buying this house of 110,000 yuan was borrowed from my sister's mother's house, borrowed from my classmates, and borrowed from the bank. "There are still 30,000 yuan in total", after a moment of silence, my sister said the number.
"I know, you give me the details of your bank card number, the money will be transferred to your card tomorrow, you write an IOU to me and bring it back to your brother and sister. You should take the time to return this money to your uncle and uncle, as well as the eldest sister and the second sister as soon as possible, our parents will feel a little more comfortable in their hearts, forgive my brother for being a little heavier just now, please don't take it to heart!",
"It's great that you can help us like this, we also know that our parents have a bad face, but after all, so much money has to be repaid, and there is really a lot of pressure!", the third brother-in-law spoke openly on the side;
"It's okay, brother-in-law, we are a family, we should help each other, and my father was treated for nose cancer in Changzhou last year, and the two of you also spent a lot of time taking care of it, and my brother knows it!"
When I saw my parents again during the Spring Festival, their tightly knit brows had finally relaxed, and their faces showed a smile that they hadn't seen for a long time, and what was even worse was that my mother told me that your father and he began to brag among the neighbors downstairs: "How awesome my son is!" It's no wonder that when I returned to my hometown, many neighbors I didn't know greeted me cordially......
Although I have heard my father-in-law slap me three times before, and I have also seen my father-in-law beat me in front of their two elders, but when it was my father-in-law's turn to come to my hometown to reunite for the Spring Festival, my father always said nothing about the unhappiness of the past. I stared nervously at all this on the side, for fear that the two old men would quarrel and argue again, but fortunately, my father-in-law was on the side with an embarrassed smile, and I could feel that my father-in-law was still very relaxed and happy in the few days of the New Year in his hometown.
