Wei Zheru: Hehe

Wei Zheru

I finally slept in, and it was almost nine o'clock when I woke up. The warm sunshine in winter shines obliquely into the window through the glass full of ice flowers. I am like a child who hasn't slept enough. I refuse to get up in the quilt.

When the sun is shining, the humble meat pot in front of the windowsill attracts me-a few leaves are inserted obliquely in the pot, green and fleshy, and under the sunshine, they look like transparent jade. There are more tender and smaller new leaves on the side, snuggling together. The other pot has already been strung in a string, and the leaves are full and oval, which looks like a Dulu agate grape.

In an instant, a touch filled my heart like the sunshine outside the window. This is not my craft, but my mother-in-law's masterpiece. She made it in the gap after serving the whole family to eat, drink and go to school.

I call myself a flower lover. Every time I pass the night market, I can't walk when I see a car selling flowers. Evergreen, flowering, woody, grass and rattan should all be brought back with pots. But with a home and a good location, it's hard to see it again. Until the leaves turned yellow and the branches withered, it suddenly occurred to me that it was too late to water and loosen the soil, and finally you had to uproot it or throw it away. My mother-in-law said not to buy it. If you buy it, you won't keep it. It's a shame to die. I know it's not the flowers that hurt her. Why isn't this behind the wall in my hometown? ! The painful thing is that all the supplies are dead, leaving some beautiful empty pots in the corner, like cold maids. But I still can't help picking cheap or evergreen green plants back.

Slowly, I found that fewer people died, all turned green, and occasionally there were flowers or small new faces. I am so obscene and careless that I don't bother to ask at a glance. It was difficult for me to turn over overnight and I stopped buying flowers. On the contrary, I prefer to stop and look at the flowers that have been neglected by me and cared for by my mother-in-law. High or low, resolute or gentle, they all look like potted plants, standing quietly under the balcony and window, no longer haggard because of my neglect. In the cold winter, it adds a little vitality.

Yes, we are looking at flowers and mood. What's the use of buying more flowers if you don't cherish them? When I was left out, it "died" for you to see. Under the care of her mother-in-law, she came back to life and made great efforts to repay her, giving us warmth that was not available in the greenhouse. Beauty is meaningful only when it exists.

Looking around this home, there are more than flowers, where are the traces of mother-in-law's care? Needless to say, three meals a day, sending the children back, piles of bowls and chopsticks, greasy stoves, dusty floors and messy toys on the coffee table are all things that my mother-in-law began to clean up and mop the floor day after day after we left. If it is cloudy, don't worry, the clothes outside the window have been put in the cupboard; It's easy to clean up, so don't worry. The bedding on the balcony has been spread out and can be basked in the sun. Children's shoes are very dirty. When I saw them, they were whitewashed, and clean blotting paper was put on them. The child's button fell off, and when I remembered it, it was already nailed and put on my body.

If I had more time, I would fold my clothes, clean the refrigerator, wash sofa cover, water my poor flowerpot, remove the leaves, or find a new "home". My mother-in-law is in good order. Anytime, anywhere, inadvertently, bring endless comfort and warmth.

That season, I found that the slippers I had just taken out were cracked and thrown away for no reason. My mother-in-law sewed them carefully with yellow thread of the same color. She said that I wore high-top shoes, so I sewed them and put them at home, fearing that such thick slippers were not easy to buy. It's really clear. I'm careful I'm afraid I can't put down my slippers, so I'm not willing to throw them away until now. Also, a few years later, I saw the weathered cotton wool on the windshield of the electric car running out. I just want to get rid of it and change it. Mother-in-law sewed the left handlebar to the right handlebar, saying that winter was almost over, the cotton was sold out, and the thin one had not arrived yet. It's cold. Use it first. Sure enough, I was afraid of losing face. I rode my bike from North Street to South Street, and I accumulated a lot of hair, but the piece was wrapped in a layer of white line and somehow blocked the cold in early spring.

If I think about it further, it's still in my hometown. There was a time when I had to fry Chinese medicine because of enteritis. It's inconvenient at school, for fear that my brain will boil. My mother-in-law cooked it on the stove at home and handed it over. Home is close to school, but it's too much trouble to bypass a long wall. My mother-in-law stuffed it in a bottle and tied it down from the wall with a rope. When I went to the front to watch the class in the morning, I was almost regarded as a Grenade or some kind of joint signal by an unsuspecting child or teacher several times.

Needless to say, since these children came, she has worked hard for so many years. Therefore, although he is a big man, his voice is careless and he has a bad temper, which makes people feel anxious. My hands used to farming for many years are not skilled, the potato chips are not finely cut, and the salt is often misplaced when cooking. I don't have any culture. I don't understand and want to ask, but I can't tell, but she is still the gentlest and most delicate mother in my eyes. Like many mothers, how old we are, we are still children in her eyes, so we can share some, especially in the most difficult times (forgive always mentions this, I want to see through and be grateful). Instead, she kept silent, cooking silently and taking care of the children. Anyway, I have food to eat, a place to sleep, and relatives to rely on, which makes me understand in despair, even if someone hates it again. I still remember Lin Yutang's famous saying, which was said by my most respected President Cao. The memory is still profound: "a happy life is nothing more than four things: first, sleeping in your own bed;" The second is to eat the dishes cooked by parents; The third is to listen to the sweet words of your lover; The fourth is to play games with children. " Life is like this. What do you want?

It is easy to read some books. I understand that my mother-in-law is a traditional mother, and her love for her children seems endless. But as an adult, a mother with children, I have to have a limit myself. When I come back from work, my mother-in-law will cut and fry when she chooses vegetables; If she washes the dishes, I will clean up; If you are tired of taking care of the children, let's go to rest quickly. If you have time, just walk around and try to take the old man with you. After meeting my mother-in-law and chatting with my new aunt, I don't have to be proud of my praise. Compared with my mother-in-law's efforts, shouldn't I respect her from the heart? When you go to a store for the elderly, you don't have to praise the filial piety and self-sufficiency for the owner. The love of two mothers is a substitute for clothes? The most important thing is to talk well at ordinary times, not deliberately sweet talk, not to be aggressive, and everything has the upper hand. Respect her from the heart, she felt it. If you can put yourself in the other's shoes, when there is no contradiction, you are a mother-in-law, you are polite and have a "distance"; When there is a contradiction, who is the mother and daughter?

There are too many contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in life. It may be that the mother-in-law is not good, or that the daughter-in-law is not good and lacks communication and understanding. Fortunately, I have a good mother-in-law. She doesn't know the truth, but she knows that she cares about me and this family everywhere. What reason do I have not to cherish and care for her? Some people say that this is too tiring, and I think I will be happy if I am really considerate and grateful; Some people say that it is difficult for a mother-in-law. I think it's really difficult. I don't know "difficult" until I have experienced misfortune.

But as long as you think about it-the family is harmonious and everything goes well, there must be nothing wrong with this old saying. Of course, every family has a hard book to read, so cherish it if you can read it well.
