I was born in a relatively wealthy family with two children: me and my brother. Because I am the younger brother, my parents will inevitably favor me sometimes. Sometimes it is me. I made mistakes with my brother, and my parents would just blame him, saying that he set a bad example for me. My brother and I have been very close since childhood. Even though he is often scolded by his parents because of my younger brother, this does not make my brother think that my younger brother is not good and hate me.

My brother was already married when I graduated from college. My brother and his sister-in-law were college classmates. I heard from my brother that they had been in love since their freshman year. My sister-in-law was also a very easy-going person. At that time, my brother also I didn’t have any savings, so I lived with my parents directly after getting married. Because of my work, I usually live outside, so my brother and sister-in-law can live at home and take care of my parents. For me, this is This is a great thing, but since my nephew was born, my parents have become anxious about my marriage, and even arranged a blind date for me, but I didn't want to go on a blind date, so I refused.

When I was twenty-eight years old, I finally took my wife home. My wife was a girl from the countryside. Her family conditions were quite simple. She also had an elderly mother at home. My father has passed away a long time ago, and my mother-in-law is very satisfied with my son-in-law. My parents saw that I finally brought a girl home, and they didn’t mind even though my wife was a girl from the countryside. When my parents saw that I had a girlfriend, they kept urging us to get married, as if they were afraid that my wife would run away with someone else. .

My wife and I got married at the urging of my parents. After marriage, we did not live with my parents because my job was in another city and I had already bought a house there. I also planned to settle down there. After getting married, I felt sorry for my mother-in-law living alone in the countryside, so I discussed with my wife to bring her to the city. My wife was naturally willing, but my mother-in-law was not willing. After my wife and I discussed After repeated persuasion, my mother-in-law finally agreed to come and live with us. After she came, my mother-in-law took over all the housework in the house. Although I asked my mother-in-law not to work so hard, she just couldn't stop.

My mother-in-law has been at our house for a week now, and everything is fine. There is one thing I can’t understand, that is, every time it’s time to eat, my mother-in-law always doesn’t come to the table to eat with us. Every time we eat, She was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and after we finished eating, she came out with the bowl. That day, after my mother-in-law made dinner, she asked my wife and I to eat first as before. She didn’t know she was alone in the kitchen. What were you doing there? I walked in and saw that my mother-in-law was eating some leftovers. I grabbed the bowl from my mother-in-law's hand.

I said to my mother-in-law, Mom, how can you eat these leftovers? At this time, my mother-in-law hesitated and said, Xiaoxu, Mom knows that you are a child who grew up in the city. I am very content to be able to take my mother to live in a big city. I am afraid that you will dislike me, an old woman in the countryside. My daughter has found such a good home with great difficulty. I don’t want you to think that her mother is a dirty person. Dirty old lady from the countryside, look at my mother’s hands. They are so dirty from years of farm work that they can’t be cleaned no matter how hard they are washed. I was afraid that you would dislike it, so I hid in the kitchen alone and ate the leftovers. , or wait until you finish eating before eating!

Looking at my mother-in-law like this, I couldn’t help but blush. Fortunately, today I walked in and took a look. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known that my mother-in-law was so stressed. I pulled my mother-in-law to the table and sat with us. And I also said to my mother-in-law, Mom, I took you out from the countryside just to let you enjoy your happiness. I am your son-in-law and half your son. How can any son dislike his mother’s dirty nature? You used to do it for Taking care of Yueyue has gone through so much hardship, now let me take care of you mother and daughter. As I said that, I gave my mother-in-law the food on the table and put it into a bowl.

I also saw the tears in my mother-in-law’s eyes. I really pity the hearts of parents in the world. No matter they are poor or rich, they will do their best to give the best to their children. My mother-in-law is so great. My mother, when I meet such a mother, why should I not be filial to her? From now on, I will definitely serve my mother-in-law well together with my wife, so that she can have a happy old age!
