My hotel connects the past and present

The fact that Chen Xiangxiu moved out from living with her husband and parents-in-law also aroused heated discussion in the family home. Many people felt that Chen Xiangxiu was not filial at all and actually contradicted her parents-in-law and even ran away.

"Isn't it just that she has a job? Is she the only woman in our family home who has a job? Who doesn't do anything like her, but talks back to her mother-in-law after saying a few words? Even if she talks back, she still moves out?"

"That's right, it's like she's the only one with a job. Doesn't my daughter-in-law also work in a hospital? Doesn't she still have to wash clothes and cook when she gets home? Doesn't it have to take care of the children and clean the house? Isn't she the only one who is more valuable?"

"How can men do the work of washing clothes and cooking? They train so hard and work so hard. Where can they work when they get home?"

The above remarks were made by some old ladies in the family compound. They are all mothers-in-law, and they don't like daughters-in-law like Chen Xiangxiu who contradict their mother-in-law at all.

Even if you don't do housework, you still dare to run back to your parents' house and not come back? Do you dare to contradict your parents-in-law? No mother-in-law would like such a daughter-in-law.

Of course, some young daughters-in-law think that Chen Xiangxiu did something wrong. Maybe they don’t think it’s wrong for her to contradict her mother-in-law, but she doesn’t do the housework and instead leaves it to her men. This kind of behavior is really embarrassing to their women. .

"How can she have the nerve to let a man work? She hasn't even given birth to a son, so how dare she let a man do this or that?"

"Isn't she just relying on her having a job? It's as if no one has a job? Pang Xiuli in our family home is still a doctor in the hospital. She is so busy every day. When she gets home, she still has to wash clothes, cook and serve the man. ? Is she, Chen Xiangxiu, the most valuable person?"

In fact, many people were talking about Chen Xiangxiu's incident. In fact, many people envied her and admired her courage.

Of course, many women also hope that their men can help when they are too tired to do housework. But many times, men rarely consciously help their wives with housework. They basically default that housework is women's work.

Just like there are more than a dozen young daughters-in-law in the family home, they all have jobs, either as teachers in schools, in art troupes, as doctors and nurses in hospitals, or in logistics, etc.

They all have jobs and have to go to work every day, but when they get home, they have to do the housework themselves.

They were very envious that Lin Weiguo could help Chen Xiangxiu wash clothes and cook.

"Chen Xiangxiu, come down here! How dare you run back to your parents' house? You let your man work and make her lose face. What's the matter with me saying a few words to you? You still dare to run back to your second brother's house and live there for so long? Have you ever put it down? Is our Weiguo your man?" Mother Lin listened to the gossip outside, scolded her daughter-in-law with a few old ladies she had a good relationship with, and after being encouraged by them, she hurried over to find Chen Xiangxiu.

"It was you who shamelessly went to the army to find our family and the country, and now you are making trouble like this after getting married? What do you think you are? What do you think my family and the country are?"

"Chen Xiangxiu, come down here! Go home and think carefully about what you, a wife, should do?" Mother Lin cursed.

Chen Xiangxiu had just returned to her second brother's house after "getting off work" and was found by Mother Lin. She was really bored. It had only been ten days and she would have to get along with her parents-in-law for several months. She was really irritable.

"Mom, why is it embarrassing for Wei Guo to help me do some housework?" Chen Xiangxiu walked out helplessly and stood on the balcony looking at Mother Lin downstairs.

"Why is it not embarrassing? How can he, a grown man, wash clothes and cook? Washing clothes and cooking are women's work, how can a man do it?" Mother Lin said matter-of-factly.

"Why is cooking a job that men shouldn't do? The chef of the meal is still a man. Why don't you say that the chef of the meal is embarrassed?" Chen Xiangxiu asked.

"Can that be the same? It's a job to be a chef."

"Why is it different? Isn't it all about cooking? It's not shameful for a male chef to cook. Oh, it's shameful for a man to go home and help his wife and children cook a meal? Isn't it all about cooking? What's the difference?" Chen Xiangxiu asked.

"It's different! It's a job for a chef to cook for meals. Do you think any chef can still cook when he returns home? Aren't their women the ones doing the cooking?"

"Women do all the work at home. You have embarrassed Wei Guo so much. I said a few words to you and you ran back to your parents' home. Why are you so angry?" Mother Lin said as if her daughter-in-law was not sensible at all. , "You've been staying at your second brother's house for four or five days. Do you really consider Wei Guo your man?"

"You are already married, and you have gone back to your parents' house to live for so long. Do you not want to live with Weiguo anymore?" Mother Lin cursed, "As expected, you are restless. Now Weiguo has a formal relationship with our family. Are you going to kick our family and defend our country because of your work?"

Chen Xiangxiu frowned and said, "Mom, do you have to ruin my reputation? Don't you want to see me marry Wei Guo?"

Chen Xiangxiu's feelings for Lin Weiguo are not deep enough to endure all kinds of slander and slander from Mother Lin to her for him. If Mother Lin really continues to ruin her reputation like this and doesn't want her to feel better, then she will definitely not Maybe he can continue to live with Lin Weiguo.

"Mom, do you have to ruin my marriage with Wei Guo and replace Wei Guo with a daughter-in-law that satisfies you?" Chen Xiangxiu took a deep breath and said with a disappointed look on her face, "If this is what you are thinking. , I respect you."

She didn't love Lin Weiguo to the point of losing herself. If this marriage was full of all kinds of bad things, there was no need for her to continue.

She saw the glory of women fifty years from now at the hotel. She would not be bound by marriage just because she was in this era.

"Mom!" When Lin Weiguo heard that his mother had gone to trouble Chen Xiangxiu again, he hurried over to stop his daughter-in-law and mother from continuing to have bad relations.

"Mom, let's go back first and have a good talk." Lin Weiguo really didn't expect that if he just relaxed a little, the relationship between his mother and his daughter-in-law would become incompatible. He was really having a headache.

He didn't spend too much time with his mother and his daughter-in-law, but after all, he had been with his mother for more years, and his feelings for his mother were definitely deeper than that of his daughter-in-law.

But Lin Weiguo is not the kind of person who completely favors his mother and ignores his daughter-in-law's grievances just because his feelings are deeper. He only hopes that even if his mother and daughter-in-law cannot live in peace, they will not really become incompatible with each other.

Lin Weiguo.

"Mom, do you have to force me and Xiangxiu to divorce before you are willing to do it?" Lin Weiguo looked at his mother with a headache and asked, "Do you hate Xiangxiu and me so much that you have to make it difficult for us as a couple to live together? "

Mother Lin was very angry when she heard this. She was also very sad when she was angry. She felt that her son questioning her like this really hurt her heart.

"Isn't this all for your own good? Chen Xiangxiu actually asked you to wash clothes and cook for her. How can you, a grown man, do such a thing?" Mother Lin said.

"I don't do all the laundry and cooking for her. Don't the clothes I wash also belong to your parents? When I cook, don't my parents eat together? I don't do it for her alone."

"Besides, I'm not the only man in the family compound who does laundry and cooking. Lin Tuan next door, Zhang Lian, and so and so... they also help their wives wash clothes and cook at home, and I'm not the only one. Do it alone."

"Mom, we soldiers can do a lot of jobs, and we can also do the work at home, so why are we embarrassed?" Lin Weiguo said helplessly, "Xiangxiu has to go to work every day, and it is very hard at the end of the day. , I can help her if nothing happens, why am I embarrassed?"

"After I go on a mission, Xiangxiu will definitely need to take care of things at home and outside. It will be even harder for her. It is not a shame for me to be considerate of her." Lin Weiguo said.

As he spoke, Lin Weiguo walked up behind his mother, pressed her shoulders and said, "Mom, I see that you have to work very hard every day. You have to do laundry in the winter. I feel sorry for my own mother. I A grown man with rough skin and thick flesh doesn’t have to worry about the cold water. Helping with the laundry can be regarded as filial piety to his parents.”

"There's no need to be angry. I help with the laundry because I feel sorry for my own mother, right?" Lin Weiguo's massage technique was learned from the doctor, so Lin's mother felt very comfortable when her shoulders were pressed. She gradually relaxed after listening to her son's words. down.

"As for cooking, my cooking skills are quite good. Mom, you have been cooking for us all these years. After I learn how to cook, why should I be embarrassed if I want to cook for you and dad?"

"I didn't cook it specifically for my wife. After my parents came, didn't I want to be filial to my parents?" Lin Weiguo said in a soft voice, "When you two elders didn't come, I didn't do much cooking or washing. As for the clothes, didn’t I just do this after you came?”

"I am here to be filial to my parents. How can being filial to my parents be considered a shameful thing?" Lin Weiguo advised, "Mom, if someone says your son is embarrassed when you go out to wash clothes and cook, just tell them, son This is to be filial to your parents. What is so shameful about being filial to your parents?"

"It's just incidental to help my wife wash clothes. We all eat together. My wife will only eat a little of the food cooked for your two elders. It's not a big deal." Lin Weiguo said.

Mother Lin was very helpful after listening to her son's words. Although she was still very angry with Chen Xiangxiu for not doing anything and letting her son do it, her son said that he was being filial to his parents, not because he only cared about his wife in his heart, and she calmed down a little. Came down.

"Weiguo, are you really working because your parents are here?" Mother Lin asked.

"Of course. I have been serving as a soldier outside for these years and have not shown any respect to you and your elders. Now that your elders have come to live with me, don't I want to take this opportunity to honor you and your elders?"

"Didn't your mother often do things like washing clothes and cooking for me in the past? Now that I have grown up, isn't it natural for me to repay my own mother?" Lin Weiguo said.

Lin Weiguo observed his own mother's expression and saw that she was not as angry as before. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said good things to his wife, "Mom, Xiangxiu was raised by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so she should be more delicate. That’s what it should be.”

"She has a job now. When she is too busy and doesn't want to work, I should be considerate." Lin Weiguo said, "Don't worry, your son is not wronged, but she..."

"Do you want to marry a daughter-in-law and forget about your mother again? Say good things to her again?" Mother Lin listened to her son's words and turned to Chen Xiangxiu, and she immediately became unhappy.

"Mom, Xiangxiu is my wife after all. Isn't it my son who is making too much trouble? Mom, can you bear to see your son have a bad life?" Lin Weiguo said, "And if our family makes too much trouble, the one above will The leader will also warn me."

"If the family relationship is not handled well, how can we handle the relationship between comrades in the future? If the leaders are disappointed in me, my future will be affected," Lin Weiguo said.

"Is that so?" Mother Lin frowned and looked at her son after hearing this, "Will your future really be affected?"

Although Lin Weiguo is not Mother Lin's favorite son, he is the son who can earn her the most face. She is still slightly partial to this son.

Her son is a soldier in the army and is still an officer. She is very respectable in her hometown. Moreover, since her son has a high position and a high allowance, he will also send her money and things when the time comes.

If her son's future is affected, won't she be able to receive less money and things from her son in the future?

Even if it's not for her son, just for herself, she can't affect her son's future. She must allow her son to go further and further with a bright future, so that she can live a good life.

"Yes. If my family relationship gets too big and the impact is bad, my future will definitely be affected." Lin Weiguo said.

"If there is an opportunity for promotion and there is a quarrel due to family relations, the leaders will also consider the person on the other side who has a harmonious family. After all, there is not much difference in ability between me and the other person, so what matters is the family relationship and the disharmony. ”

Mother Lin frowned even deeper after hearing her son's words. She really didn't expect that such a quarrel between herself and Chen Xiangxiu would have such an impact.

"Besides, Mom, Xiangxiu is well organized now. It's not good for you to make such an ugly scene with her and ruin her reputation."

"If you don't like Xiangxiu, your son doesn't insist that you like her. Treat her as well as you treat your own son. If you don't like Xiangxiu, you can ignore her. Don't quarrel or fight. Let others Just watch the fun."

"Mom, don't you know that during this period, many people in the family courtyard are watching the excitement of our family? When those people say that Xiang Xiu is not good, wouldn't they say something about you?"

Mother Lin frowned even deeper when she heard her son say that those people would talk about her behind her back. She had forgotten about this incident.

When she was in her hometown, because she had lived there for many years, it was already her instinct to manage her own reputation. But after arriving in the army, perhaps she subconsciously felt that she was in a strange environment. Those people didn't know her for a long time like those in her hometown, so she got a little carried away.

But she had to admit that her son was right.

When people outside say that her daughter-in-law is not good, they will never fail to say how vicious she is as a mother-in-law, and how bad she is as a mother-in-law.

"Mom, I don't expect you to be very close to Xiangxiu, but please don't quarrel or start a fight again. Isn't it worth the loss to let people outside watch and affect your son's future?" Lin Weiguo advised.

Mother Lin was persuaded by her son. Even though she really disliked Chen Xiangxiu, she had to admit that she didn't like being watched by others even more.

And it affects her son's future. Can she still live such a good life? If Chen Xiangxiu’s job is also eliminated, will her son’s money sent to her decrease if her income is gone?

No, for her own sake and for her son's sake, even if she couldn't treat Chen Xiangxiu as her own, she couldn't make a fuss like now for others to watch.
