Director's growth history

As more and more only children enter the marriage hall, the question of who will celebrate the New Year's Eve has become an important issue affecting the relationship between husband and wife. Many young couples have gradually escalated from quarrels to divorce because they cannot reconcile this contradiction. Degree. 【*】Especially because the young couple are both only children, and they are not in the same city, so there are many conflicts.Because the only child is generally self-centered, lacks tolerance, and strongly insists on their own opinions, they all hope that the other party will obey them, and never consider compromising and respecting each other's opinions. Therefore, such a young couple, the harmony of conflicts is also very difficult. difficult.The question of whose family the one-child family will celebrate the Spring Festival has seriously impacted traditional Chinese ethics and customs, and has affected the new landscape of China entering the 21st century.Traditionally, New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year are usually celebrated at the parents-in-law's house. This tradition has lasted for thousands of years; as for returning to the mother's house, different places have different traditions. .Now, this tradition has been completely broken by the one-child generation.

In fact, not only families with only one child, but many families with many children and many daughters are now having such disputes.But in Yao Changqing's house, such a tendency appeared this year.On the afternoon of Valentine's Day, Yao Changqing took a very full time for the first time, and accompanied Miao Qianqian and his son Yao Xuan to go shopping in the main shopping malls in Dongzhou City.There is no need to buy new year's goods, but Miao Qianqian looks at the clothes with great interest, and drags Yao Changqing to buy him a suit, buy a new year's dress for his son, and then buy several large and small pieces for himself .Because before the Spring Festival, several major shopping malls held gift certificates for how much money you buy, which aroused Miao Qianqian's enthusiasm for shopping.Of course, the shopping mall that buys the most is Carrefour. This shopping mall has shopping cards for many years, ranging from 200 yuan to 1 yuan. In fact, this is clearly prepared for gift-giving people of different levels.And it just so happened that Miao Qianqian had many such shopping cards ranging from 200 yuan to 2000 yuan.Since she spends money on shopping, she can also get gift certificates for shopping, which made Miao Qianqian smile with joy.Of course she knew how all this came about. After shopping for clothes, she dragged Yao Changqing and Yao Xuan to the leather goods area, and bought a new pure cowhide handbag and a pure cowhide belt for Yao Changqing.Large and small bags, more than a dozen bags, fortunately, there are two free male laborers.

The family sat in the car, Yao Changqing said: "Son, spend Valentine's Day with your mother today, and your mother's celebration has become a shopping festival. If she shops like this every day, then I can't stand it!" Yao Xuan said: "Mom today In fact, I didn’t spend too much money on shopping. I saw Carrefour’s activities, and I got a gift certificate of 280 yuan when I spent 180 yuan. In normal times, I’m afraid it’s tens of thousands of yuan to buy these things. Today, I think it’s less than 5000 yuan in the end. Dad, I think it’s very wise for Mom to choose to shop today.” Miao Qianqian said, “My son understands Mom’s heart. The things I bought today cost less than half of the usual price! Hurry up! It’s Chinese New Year, and everyone in the family should wear new clothes. The value of the suit I bought for Changqing today is equal to the total price of the 4 pieces of clothes I bought. How can you say Changqing is also the principal of a school? , the level of people you meet in the future is getting higher and higher, so you must dress decently and generously. Your handbag is also relatively old, and I will change it for a better one, so that you will look more like a dignified principal when you take it out! What my son wants to buy, except for clothes, I don’t care about anything else, I gave him a 500 yuan shopping card, let him go.” Yao Changqing said: “Okay, you can figure it out. Today is your holiday, you say In the evening, I will cook for my wife. If my wife doesn’t like it, we can go to a restaurant, okay?” Miao Qianqian said, “I’ll cook with you at night. I won’t go to the restaurant anymore. It’s almost the Spring Festival, and the restaurants are either closed or waiting for New Year’s Eve, not to mention expensive, and there’s nothing to eat. Let’s cook together and celebrate Valentine’s Day together.”

Yao Changqing said: "On New Year's Eve, shall we go back to my parents' place, or take my parents directly to the hotel? We should make a reservation earlier. If we go to the restaurant, it will be too late if we don't make a reservation." You are discussing this matter! My elder brother asked me to ask for your opinion, whether to gather all the old people from the two families and rent a private room in a hotel. My parents, your parents, my elder brother, my sister-in-law, my second wife Brother and sister-in-law, you, me, and the children, let’s have a lively New Year together, okay? In this way, the elders of the two families can celebrate the New Year together, instead of having to spend the New Year on who is the only child like now. There will be endless arguments at home during the Chinese New Year." Yao Changqing said: "You have been married to me for more than ten years, and you spend every thirty years at my parents' house, and when you go back to your parents' house in the third day of junior high school, you have never argued about the New Year's Eve. It's a question of whose family you live in. Why do you want to gather your family together this year?" Miao Qianqian was a little embarrassed, looked at her son, and said, "Changqing, I will tell you about this after I get home. Yao Changqing said: "Then shall we go to other places now?" Miao Qianqian said: "No, go home."

When I got home, Yao Xuan put the things away and said, "I'm exhausted, I want to lie down on the ground and rest for a while. Talk about something, I'm not an eavesdropper." Yao Changqing put the things on the floor , Come to the sofa and sit down.Miao Qianqian poured Yao Changqing a glass of water and said, "Originally, I have been going back to your parents-in-law's house for the New Year with you. I have no problem with this, and it is what I should do. But now that you are the principal, it is true that you were the vice-principal before. The time is completely different. This year’s Chinese New Year, although you don’t care much about family affairs, I have arranged for you. The New Year’s goods for the two elders in the family, my two brothers’ New Year’s goods, and your sister’s New Year’s goods are all We can’t even eat the New Year’s goods that come from our family and come to give you. You don’t know, my mother said happily, Changqing is really promising now, and she praises me for being so lucky! I also know that you are not only us now The pillar of the family is also the pillar of the father-in-law's family, my parents' family!"

"Really?" Yao Changqing was very happy.It is indeed a happy thing to have such recognition in the hearts of father-in-law and mother-in-law.Among other things, Yao Changqing really didn't want to go back to his father-in-law's house on the third day of the first lunar month.That uncle, who doesn't have much ability, is awesome all day long, and he is willing to take the lead in anything.His wife, Miao Qianqian, is the third and the youngest in the family, so Yao Changqing has no status when he returns to his father-in-law's house, and he has to listen to his uncle's yelling and drinking.

Miao Qianqian said: "Actually, it's my idea that the two families celebrate the New Year together. There must be a master in the family. To be honest, my elder brother is also an idiot who can't afford it. He really doesn't have much ability. However, in your family, it is definitely no problem for you to be in charge; in my family, let my father decide who is in charge this year."

interesting.Yao Changqing smiled, thinking that if he really took charge of the matter, the uncle really didn't know what would happen.Yao Changqing said, "Go ahead."

Miao Qianqian said: "So last night, when you were not at home, I took my son back to grandma's house for dinner. It happened that my eldest brother was also there, so I said that I wanted to celebrate the New Year together this year. My eldest brother immediately agreed, saying that this is completely It should be, and it meant to be provocative. I only said a word, and the eldest brother immediately shut up."

Yao Changqing was very interested: "What did you say?"

Miao Qianqian said: "I said, if the two families get together, I counted, there are 16 people in total. If you book a restaurant, there may be one big table, or two tables. Now the New Year's Eve dinner on the market is good, at least Maybe 1000 yuan for one table, or 2000 yuan for two tables.”

Yao Changqing clapped his hands: "My wife, you are very good." Miao Qianqian said: "My brother kept silent. I said, both families spend a new year together, and the elderly of both families can take care of them. New Year, and it will be more reunion-like. If parents, you and the elders agree, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law have no objections, I will ask Changqing to book a place, and our family will pay for it."

Yao Changqing said: "Okay, our family will pay. 2000 yuan is a bit heavy for some people, but for our family, little ks." Miao Qianqian said: "Brother just said at this time, you'd better talk to me about this matter." Changqing discussed and discussed, what should I do if Changqing disagrees. I said, as long as my parents agree, Changqing will definitely agree." Yao Changqing said: "I agree." Miao Qianqian said: "My dad said, okay, then Let Changqing arrange the arrangement. Our family belongs to Changqing now, and your mother and I can’t eat the new year’s goods you brought back. There is no way, I’m afraid it will be broken, and I gave your elder brother a lot.” Yao Changqing said: "Didn't you give your elder brother New Year's goods?" Miao Qianqian said: "Yes, I did. At that time, my elder brother's face was not very good-looking, and he said, I am also helping my parents solve their difficulties."

"Slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat." Yao Changqing said, "This is in line with my brother's usual personality." Miao Qianqian said: "Later, my sister-in-law thanked me in private, saying that she took back the New Year's goods from her parents and gave them to her. parents." Yao Changqing said: "My God, I have nothing to do with sister-in-law's parents, why should I give our things to sister-in-law's parents!" Miao Qianqian said: "I guess, the elder brother gave it to his old When people give gifts for the New Year, they definitely won’t say that my brother-in-law made them. It’s better to save face and pretend that he made them.” Yao Changqing said, “It definitely will.” Miao Qianqian said, “Changqing, tell me, Is my idea okay?"

Yao Changqing said: "I firmly support it. I will call the owner of Zuixianlou now and book his room for 20 people. This year's Spring Festival, we will spend there!"
