The wife is expressionless, holding the child in one hand and the bag in the other. I help open the door. Without saying a word, she threw her bag into the car and curled up in the carriage. Before I could take out the fare from the coat pocket hanging on the hanger in my bedroom, the car had already left.
Don't say she is angry, in fact, I am more angry. At about 5: 30 in the afternoon, my wife smiled and said, honey, it's time to cook dinner. What should I say? She can say anything. I said, why don't you heat up the leftover noodles at noon? She said yes. So I plugged in the power of the induction cooker, poured water into the wok, boiled water, and slipped into the kang burning room to arrange gifts.
My wife stood by with her child in her arms and suddenly asked me inexplicably, "Why didn't you ask me when you saw my aunt?" I argued, "Who said I didn't ask? Didn't I just call my sister-in-law when your aunt came this afternoon? Moreover, I specially took out a bag of twist from the cupboard for her to eat. What else do you want from me? "
She explained, "I heard that the last time you saw my aunt, you left without even asking."
"Who did you hear that?" I was shocked and searched my whole brain, but I had no memory at all.
"My aunt told my aunt and my aunt told me." The wife said bluntly.
After all that time, how can I remember? Even if there is, it is definitely a misunderstanding. How can I walk away from her aunt without asking? Because it's not my usual style. I thought about it, but I didn't argue. I quietly walked into the kitchen, and the water was gurgling.
I poured the leftovers into the pot. Just then, my wife stood in front of me with her child in her arms and asked sharply, "Why don't you call me aunt?"
This sentence has seriously hurt my self-esteem.
So I replied to Qingyin, "You asked me this question soon after I got married. Didn't I tell you all the reasons? "
"My name is aunt. Why can't you call me? " I can't accept her tough tone.
"Why should I call you?" My voice grew louder and louder, and I strongly retorted, "I'm not a door-to-door son-in-law. Why should I call you? " The descendants of your uncle's father and I are equal. I've always called uncle epigenetic, and I also call you uncle brother. I've been called that since I was a kid. Your aunt and I are naturally the same age. Why should I call her aunt? Where can I call her aunt? Where can I be older than me? "
"That's a dead man!" My wife's contemptuous tone and eyes finally ignited my anger. "I tell you, I won't call. Call whoever you like, even if you call her a woman, I will never stop her, but don't interfere with my name! "
"Everything you do is right, and everything I do is wrong, okay?" The wife seems to realize that she said something wrong, so she throws out a sentence that is usually used when she is tired.
"At least you are wrong about this. You call your parents, judge them and see who is right and who is wrong! If I call you auntie, how should my sister, brother and sister-in-law call you auntie? Don't let them call you aunt, too? " My tone is getting tougher and tougher.
"Who said that your sister, your brother and your sister-in-law are also called aunts?" The wife tried to defend herself.
"According to your logic just now, isn't it?" I asked loudly.
The wife was speechless.
However, to be honest, if her aunt didn't marry in our village, I never knew her aunt, and I would call her whatever she said. Facts have also proved this point. In her mother's house, I don't know all the relatives, whether they are called grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, aunt, I will call whatever she says, and I have never been vague.
After a pause, she inexplicably brought up the old story again: "Last time the baby was sick, you always let Dan Ping see it. As a result, the baby was delayed and it was all your fault! "
I wonder: Dan Ping is a female doctor who specializes in treating young children in this village. There are many people waiting in line to see her outside the village. Does that mean everyone delayed the baby? Besides, who can guarantee that doctors will be 100% optimistic about seeing a doctor? During the child's illness, didn't you also recommend seeing several doctors, including the pediatrician of Huxian Maternal and Child Hospital, or did you not get well? I was admitted to Xi 'an Jiren Hospital at my forced request. Didn't the child's condition finally improve? Why do you blame me for everything?
I kept these thoughts in my heart for the time being and didn't have time to show them. At that time, my mind was only focused on whether I should call my aunt.
Holding the child in her arms, she paced and sneered: "Your family is noble, my family is humble ..."
Actually, I should have said this to her. Obviously, she insisted on lowering the seniority of my family to show the nobility of her family and the inferiority of my family. Instead, she slapped me in the face, which further aroused my indignation and intensified my blame.
Afraid of scaring the child, she scolded loudly and said, "If my daughter makes a mistake, I won't end with you!" " "Then she took her daughter into the burning kang room.
"If the daughter really has any problems, it's all your fault. Which quarrel didn't you start? It is simply unreasonable and tangled! " I retort.
"Then why did you marry me?" The wife seems to have been wronged and her voice is a little choked up.
I didn't answer directly. In fact, I have long understood in my heart that my wife is quite virtuous in nature except for her big temper and occasional irrationality. She knows that I owe tens of thousands of foreign debts to build a house, get married and bury the elderly. I have been married for almost a year, and I don't even want to buy a decent dress. I have been wearing the old clothes that her sister-in-law gave her, which really touched me and made me feel sorry.
At the moment, I have no time to care about her kindness, thrift and virtue. It seems that she forgot all about her goodness in an instant, and there is only anger in her mind.
While kneading dough with chopsticks, I kept repeating to myself, "Why should I call you auntie?" With what? You tell me? …..."
"I told you to talk!" The wife said hysterically.
The voice just fell and there was a bang. I looked out, only to see a small stainless steel bowl and a bag of snacks like corn beans being violently whipped from the burning kang room to the back door. The beans were scattered on the ground, and the mouth was still muttering dirty words.
I was so angry that I scolded and flew. Boom, the small bowl bounced back from the wall of the house, jingled to the ground, turned a few somersaults and rolled to the corner of the back door. At the same time, he grabbed the scattered snack bags and threw them at the back door. ...
My emotions are a little out of control, and the accusations are getting stronger and stronger, such as storms, thunder and roar. The loud noise alarmed the couple in the east, and they persuaded me for a while before I kept silent and finally calmed down.
The meal is ready, I know my wife won't eat it, but I still put it in front of her and said calmly, "Eat it quickly, don't you care about eating it all your life?"
My wife didn't read it and was silent. I saw tear drops. While wiping her tears, she did not hesitate to call a driver in front of me and expressed her idea of sending her back to her family. I want to call the old driver and persuade him not to come, but I'm afraid it's not him, because once something happens, I take the initiative to contact the old driver. So it is concluded that she will not have the phone number of the old driver. I hope the driver won't come. Because my daughter is only five and a half months old, I work at school. She and her children usually live in their parents' homes and are looked after by their mother-in-law and seldom go home. Today is mother's new grave. According to traditional customs, my sister's brother-in-law, aunt, nephew of my parents, nephew and other important relatives will come to sweep the grave and burn paper as a souvenir. To this end, I asked for leave in the morning and contacted the old driver by phone to take her and her children home from their parents' home. She brought a lot of things, wrapped in a big bag, and obviously wanted to stay at home with me during the three-day holiday in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
When I was eating with a bowl, a green taxi stopped at my door. It was an impartial old driver.
The result is the opening scene.
That night, I couldn't sleep and watched TV all night. The next day, after much consideration, I felt that I shouldn't haggle over every ounce, so I sent a short message to my wife: "Wife, let bygones be bygones!" " I shouldn't be angry with you. It's my fault. However, regarding the name, I have expressed my attitude to you before, and yesterday you brought it up for no reason. I think it's better to maintain the status quo separately! Let's stop arguing about these trivial things, shall we? Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? I feel bad when you go back to your mother's house in a rage. I blame myself again and again at night. I told you to calm down when you coaxed the child so hard. Really wrong! Because after all, you didn't go back to your mother's house happily. I helped Brother Xilin today, so I can't look after you and your daughter. Please forgive me. Let's not talk about it again. It is the most important thing for a family to live a beautiful life together! Are you right? "
My friend Ji Xilin's father passed away, and April 4th was the third day. I'll help meet and entertain the guests. I haven't seen my wife reply for a long time, and I feel very depressed. After seeing the guests off, the old gentleman who drew pictures came, who happened to be my acquaintance. We exchanged pleasantries for a while, and his casual words woke me up.
He said, "Your daughter-in-law is so nice!"
"Uncle, how do you know her?"
"I drew a picture for your mother, and your daughter-in-law made me laugh!"
"Your daughter-in-law is really good!" This sentence echoed in my ears repeatedly. Let me suddenly have no ideological baggage, and my complaints and resentment against my wife vanished in an instant. I thought to myself, as long as she replied to me, I would forget about it.
Whenever a text message rings, I think it's a message from my wife. As a result, I waited for several days in a row, but I didn't receive her text message or phone call.
I never go back to her house for dinner or send her text messages. I held my breath and started the cold war to see who could survive! Unexpectedly, at around 7 pm on April 7, she finally sent me a short message: "Tomb-Sweeping Day passed, and I want to return the money to Stefanie's mother."
She told me about it. In order to protect her daughter's healthy growth, her mother-in-law plans to go to Lingshan Temple to fulfill her wish. My wife asked me for the passage to 300 yuan. Because my salary didn't come down in March, I have borrowed a lot of money to repay the loan. I can say that I have no money, so I jokingly said to her, "I have too many borrowers and I don't know who to borrow." You should go out. You might as well lend a helping hand to your friend, and I'll give it back to others when your salary comes down. "I didn't expect her to speak to her friend Swallow, but Swallow borrowed 300 yuan from her family to give her an emergency.
I immediately replied: "Wait a few days, the salary has not come down, I will send it to you when it is finished!" "
At ten o'clock that night, I received a text message from my wife: "Are you asleep? I don't know if I'll stop by and see your daughter on vacation? "
I immediately replied, "I'm afraid you will be unhappy with a straight face when you go." Think twice before you act, and calm down for a few days! " Because I hate fighting. I hate it. I'm afraid you are still angry. Once we meet, we will quarrel again! I have learned your temper, and I really can't afford to hurt it! "
After a while, the wife replied, "then you still bother me?" To be honest, I don't want to talk to you, but I can't. Were you too angry with me that day? I really don't like it in my heart. "
I then replied, "Who told me to call me aunt again and again regardless of my family's dignity and feelings?" Didn't you start it? I told you before that it was inappropriate for me to call you that. Why don't you listen to my persuasion and force me to do something I can't do? The Zhang family (my ex-girlfriend) didn't give me dignity and trampled my whole family under their feet. For this reason, I fell out with the Zhang family. And you know my past, you should know me better, and you should know what I hate most. Persuade people with reason, don't break the rules. Wouldn't it be a mess if I followed you? That means I acquiesced that your aunt and my old mother are the same age. The fact is, everyone in our team knows that your aunt and I are of the same age, and your aunt always calls me elder sister when she sees my elder sister! Your aunt and your uncle's sister Cai Liao are sisters. Cai Liao is not as old as me. He should call me brother, and your uncle is older than me. You said that according to common sense, how can I change your aunt's name to aunt instead of sister-in-law? When you say that my family is noble and your family is lowly, it's actually backwards. According to this logic, it should be that your family is noble and my family is humble. Besides, your words are very disrespectful to the late elders. You think I'm Yamato (your aunt and her father-in-law) is dead, so don't worry about me. The living can completely override his head and take his place. This is the root cause of your anger. "
At 9: 50 on April 8, my wife sent me another short message: "You should hurry to Yunsenji today and ask Dr. Zhao if there is any sputum in the child's throat. I'm going to get vaccinated soon. Heal it quickly. Your daughter's illness has lasted for too long. "
I replied, "haven't you always refused to go?"
I suggested that she go early. She didn't want to go because she didn't trust the medical skills of rural clinics.
She replied, "Ask first and go if you can get the phlegm out."
Seeing that my wife was so determined, I had lunch in a hurry, got on the electric car and went to Macun clinic for consultation. I was disappointed, and then I stopped by Yunsenji to ask Dr. Zhao for advice. People say I don't have this skill. I quickly called my wife back to explain everything.
At nine o'clock that night, my wife sent another text message: "Lao Ji, I have a terrible headache."
I immediately replied: "drink more water and have more rest." Why don't I come over to accompany you at night? "
The wife immediately replied: "I miss you very much, forget it, or leave it alone." There are too many black cars on the road, which makes me uneasy. I will go to bed early after the self-study. "
Seeing this sentence, I suddenly felt a warm current rushing all over my body, and my anger and sulk were washed away at once, vowing to treat her well.
Judging from the content of the above message, my wife is no longer angry and forgives me from the bottom of her heart. Naturally, I won't bargain with her. From then on, I think we will cherish each other more and live together sweetly.
