"Dad, I've refunded Mom's flight home." During dinner, my son said unexpectedly. I was feeding my grandson and froze. "Why? I finally got a plane ticket for your mother. Besides, your mother hasn't been home for the New Year in three years!" The son's eyes dodge. "Dad, the Spring Festival travel ticket costs thousands. It's not necessary for a reunion dinner. The Chinese New Year is almost here, why not let mom earn more overtime pay." I looked at him in disbelief. "Jiang Zheng, what are you talking about? Your mother has been working overtime for three months in a row, just to come home to see you and the children during the New Year..." The son muttered dissatisfiedly. "What's there to see? Why don't you give your child a big red envelope!" "What's wrong with working overtime? Who said you don't have a pension? You'll make my parents-in-law laugh when you come back..." Hearing this, I threw the bowl. "Okay! Hello, your father-in-law and mother-in-law, let them take care of your child! I'll go find your mother!"

I was taking my grandson to kindergarten when my daughter called me to tell me that my ex-wife had been in a car accident. "Dad, my mother's injury is serious. The doctor said she is likely to be paralyzed." Hearing this, I paused. "What does it have to do with me?" The daughter on the other end of the phone hesitated. "His husband took the money and ran away. I plan to take her home and you can help take care of her, okay?" I refused without thinking. "No!" "She cheated on me back then, in order to force me to leave the house, and accused me of domestic violence. She has ignored you two brothers and sisters for so many years, and asked me to take care of her? Impossible!" The anger boiled in my heart, and the original pain was still vivid in my mind. "Dad, how long are you going to talk about this little thing? It's been twenty years, so stop fussing over it, okay?" "She is our mother after all. For our sakes, can you forgive her?" I laughed angrily. "Forgive her? Unless I die!"
