How is life with a son in middle age?

20 12 when I was selling shoes, I was neighbors with a middle-aged couple in Jiangxi. They have a son who has gone to college and is about to graduate.

These two couples have run a shoe store for many years and accumulated a lot of money. They want to buy a house for their children and marry them.

Their son is very filial and obedient. He looks like a nice young man, handsome, tall and white.

Every winter and summer vacation, children will come to Beijing to spend some time with their parents. Help them load and sell things! The couple are very happy. Whenever they talk about their sons, they are all smiling and unable to say how happy they are. But after two years, the couple couldn't laugh anymore and sighed all day.

One year, the children didn't come for summer vacation and winter vacation. Later, I heard that my child graduated and went to work, so I didn't have time to come over.

The next year is approaching the Spring Festival, and the neighbor's elder sister said that the child has found a partner and the family is very well off. She runs several factories, and the woman is an only child. The child will get married this Spring Festival, and maybe he will have a great grandson next year.

She talked from ear to ear as if she were going to have a great grandson. I also congratulate her quickly, wishing her a great grandson as soon as possible and enjoy family happiness.

So I said, "Sister Liu, your son is going to have a grandson. Will you bring them? "

Sister Liu's face is covered with flowers. "Yes, as long as they let me take it, we won't do it, and we will go back to our hometown to help them with their children. We are old and don't want to wander outside. Our family lives in the county town and has our own appearance room. We will take our grandchildren and look at the facade while living in our hometown. " Sister Liu's face is full of happiness.

I said, "Sister Liu, you are really blessed. Your son is filial and your family conditions are good. It seems that you are coming to an end and should enjoy it. "

It turns out that his son has been working in the woman's factory and naturally occupies an important position. He is very busy every day, not to mention meetings, and he seldom makes phone calls.

Her daughter-in-law is an only child, and her grandson naturally becomes the baby of her in-laws. Don't say that Sister Liu wants to take care of her grandchildren, and it's even difficult to meet and hug. This has become a heart disease for the couple.

Sometimes they complain to their sons and miss their grandchildren. Although my son has a good life in the woman's house, he misses his parents very much. One Spring Festival, they lived with their parents.

In-laws are also a reasonable family and are very attentive and considerate to them. But the couple are used to leaving home and are not used to integrating into such a big family at once. They are always depressed.

For example, if they want to be close to their grandchildren, their in-laws are always afraid that they will accidentally bump into their children and not let them see them. Their grandchildren are unfamiliar with them and don't want to be close.

After living there for more than ten days, Liu Jie and his wife not only felt constrained in front of their in-laws and daughters-in-law, but also felt very stiff and strange when facing their sons and grandchildren, just like an outsider.

So the couple came back early in frustration. From then on, I never mentioned going to see my grandson again, and sold shoes there in a down-to-earth manner. Occasionally, my son will send them some photos of his grandson, and they are still very happy.

What about families with sons after middle age?

I think it depends on my son's living conditions and my family conditions.

Take this article as an example. In fact, Liu Jie's family situation is OK, but his son has a bright future. He was admitted to a famous university and was lucky enough to be liked by the only daughter of a rich family. In reality, "Man struggles upwards and water flows downwards" is the normal state. In any case, neither the woman nor the man can give up their good development and go back to their hometown.

What's more, the woman's family is very kind to him, treating him as her own son and giving him an important position, which makes him feel the value and respect of life.
