Chapter Thirty-Seven: Coming to Live Together
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car once seemed to be freezing, frozen and cold. The mother-in-law sat in the co-pilot's seat and kept sighing. I sat in the back seat and watched Little Cream not dare to speak.
I arrived home quickly, and when I got home, my mother-in-law said that she was in a bad mood and went back to the house to lie down until dinner. I went to the bedroom and woke her up for dinner. I knocked lightly on the door, "Mom, can I come in?" I asked cautiously.
"Come in." After receiving the promise, I gently pushed the door and entered.
"Mom, let's eat? Dinner is ready. I said as I stood in the doorway.
The mother-in-law said, "Don't worry, Xia Fei, you come, I have a few words to tell you." ”
"Hmm" I moved a stool from my desk and sat down across from my mother-in-law.
"This afternoon, I may have spoken a little heavily, because your sister-in-law was crying, and I was in a hurry to treat you like that." Mother-in-law said.
"No, Mom, I've forgotten." It's not easy to be a human being, my mother-in-law is over sixty, and I have to leave home to work hard for the sake of my children, thinking of this, I feel that a few heavy words are nothing, I should learn to be grateful, and be doubly good to her.
But I don't know, in the future, the relationship between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, my relationship with my sister-in-law, and this series of family problems are one of the reasons why I am becoming more and more silent and unable to speak.
After dinner, my mother-in-law went back to the room to rest, Lin Jia and I took the little cream and mango to wash and prepare to rest, and when the mango came back to the house, we found that the little cream was still sticking out her tongue, but Lin Jia had already fallen asleep with the little cream's leg with one hand. I gently turned off the light, put on a soft night light, covered Lin Jia with the quilt, carried the little cream from the big bed to the crib, and patted it to sleep.
Today's little cream may have slept too much in the afternoon, and it didn't fall asleep until 1 a.m. I rubbed my stiffened shoulders, covered the mango in the children's room next door, and sat on the balcony to rest for a while.
It seems that because I may know that my mother-in-law is about to bring it, I am a little nervous and anxious about dealing with this relationship, plus I take the child during the day and the child gets up to feed at night, and the fatigue and burden on my heart make me have some insomnia. So I closed my eyes and advised myself to relax, inhale deeply, relax, inhale deeply. However, the brain still can't stop.
I got up and made a cup of osmanthus tea for myself, and recently I especially like the smell of osmanthus tea, every time I smell this smell, it always makes my nerves slightly tense and relaxed.
Suddenly, someone hugged me from behind, "Why don't you sleep?" ”
I turned my head and looked at Lin Jia, "Just finished everything, sit down and take a breath, find a time for yourself, why did you wake up?" ”
"Thirsty, get up and drink water, find out you're not in the room, see the balcony light on and come and see"
I smiled and stroked Lin Jia's face, "Go to sleep, I'll go back to the house later"
Lin Jia turned off the balcony light, "Let's go, let's go back to the house, sit here by yourself, what should I do if I get cold." ”
couldn't resist Lin Jia, so he was simply led back to the house by him, he said, "Don't think about things during the day, sister-in-law ......"
"Okay, don't say it, I forgot, I just want to live well with you, and I don't want other things to affect us." I interrupted Lin Jia's words, I didn't want to think about everything that happened during the day, after all, I wanted to think about everyone from everyone's point of view, I didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of me, and I didn't want the moment of peace I had just gained to be ruined by these trivialities again.
I turned off the lights, kissed Lin Jia's forehead, and said goodnight, and I stopped talking, even though I had insomnia.
