Father's tears
The end of 2003 is coming to an end, although I have worked in a state-owned enterprise to the position of manager of two departments, although my economic conditions have been much better than when I first came, although I have not forgotten my original intention to do everything well, but I have never been able to get the recognition of my father-in-law, he always thinks that I am the same as "Misan", always look down on me, of course, I can also understand that I can not even pay for fertilizer to raise the flowers he worked so hard to raise, even the pot is gone. Because she is the only child in the family, although I am not an only child, I am also the only child in the family, plus the marriage contract agreed before marriage, the two families and one family, I have always adhered to the principle of treating both parents equally.
In order not to let the traditional Chinese Spring Festival snub the elderly on either side, in the first year of marriage, I specially took my father-in-law and mother-in-law to Changzhou Dinosaur Park to play, and then went to my hometown to spend the Spring Festival with my parents.
Now it's another New Year, it's my turn to take my parents to Kunshan for the New Year, it should be a happy and happy thing, sitting at a table eating and drinking wine, who knows that my "leopard head" father-in-law in front of my parents, laughing at me for being a useless thing. My mother was silent and her face was gloomy, my dad didn't make a sound at first, seeing that his in-laws were so endless, and he said that he was not ready to stop, of course his father knew that it was not easy for his son to come to Kunshan to work alone, and he immediately refuted his father-in-law angrily on the spot: "In-laws, what you said is not right, he came to Kunshan alone for two years to be the department manager of a state-owned enterprise, I admire him very much, I believe that my son will be promising, because he is my son Zhao Yuexiang's son." I could already hear that my father's words were soft and hard.
My father-in-law, who has never seen the world and has no culture, speaks very unprofessionally, and he doesn't know how to raise his head, but he wants to compete with my dad on this issue, and fight for the sky, as if he stepped on me like a "little strong" under the soles of his feet, he looked particularly majestic and upright, and I could smell the strong "** smell" of the scene...... Although I was also present, although I was very bad in my heart, but I couldn't let the two old men quarrel like this for the New Year, my head was in a quick assessment and analysis: If I help my father speak, it is understandable that my elbow is turned inward, but this will definitely exacerbate and expand the contradiction between the two sides and tear the emotional foundation of the old people on both sides; if I help my father-in-law speak, my parents will definitely be very angry, and they will be arrogant and destroy their own ambitions, but this will at least not expand the contradiction, calm down and dilute the contradiction, and then apologize to their parents afterwards, at least it will not tear apart the emotional foundation of the communication between the two old people!
So I chose the latter, and humbly admitted in a low voice that I had no ability and was a useless thing, so I didn't want to argue and quarrel! Who knew that my father actually got up and said goodbye in a fit of anger, but the scene of a happy reunion broke up unhappily! Yes, how can people drink this wine? You didn't ask about slapping his mouth in front of your son's mother before, and I didn't mention these unhappy things to you, but you still took advantage of me as a guest during the Spring Festival to ridicule my son again, what do you think of us?
When I went back to the downstairs of our own community, my father, who could not calm his anger, had a fierce argument with me under the influence of alcohol, and I tried to explain to him the principle of turning big things into small things and small things, but he insisted on not listening, maybe it was my father-in-law's words that really angered him, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that this is the only son of the family. No matter how much I persuaded and dissuaded him to apologize, he still insisted on returning to his hometown for the New Year, and I had no choice but to send him to the train station on a motorcycle and buy him a ticket home......
Later, during my father's serious cancer illness, my father took the initiative to mention this experience to me: "Son, that year your father-in-law ridiculed you so much, I was really angry, our father and I quarreled for him It's really not worth it, I was angry and wanted to go home for the New Year, what he said was too hurtful, and it depends on the owner's face to beat the dog, I returned home alone with tears in my eyes that year, I was really really sad, do you remember this incident?", Dad, my son can't stand you, I didn't expect to hurt you, I just blamed me for not being productive at the time, which made you feel bad!".
I know that his tears are filled with love and hope for his son!
