儿子不回家今年依然决定回老家过年。本来也是可以不回去的,因为元旦前岳父病故,我与妻子已回老家跑过一趟。参加完丧事后,我又在父母家待了两天,“回家看看”的目的似已达到。不过,常识告诉我,亲人故去,就更应该把年过到老家了。于是回家过年似乎成了一件没商量的事情。但儿子却犹豫着。他不大情愿回去。他想一个人留守京城。这种想法似乎也在我的意料之中,但我还是有些意外。去年过年回家,儿子就对老屋的冷有了刻骨铭心的感受。父母的家里自然是没有城里的暖气的,虽然炉火烧得很旺,电暖气也开着,晚上睡觉时还要插上电热毯,但那三间堂屋依然冷得拿不出手来。老实说,这种居家环境连我也得适应两天,何况没受过苦的儿子。 Son does not go home this year still decided to return home new year. Originally also can not go back, because before the New Year’s Day father’s death, my wife and I have run back home. After attending the funeral, I spent another two days in my parents’ home. The purpose of “going home” seems to have been achieved. However, common sense tells me that relatives should go to their hometown even more. So homecoming New Year seems to have become a matter of no discussion. But his son hesitated. He is reluctant to go back. He wanted to stay in the capital alone. This idea seems to be in my expectation, but I was still a bit surprised. New Year last year to go home, the son of the old house has a cold feeling unforgettable. The parents’ home naturally had no heating in the city. Although the fire was very hot and the electric heaters were on, the electric blankets were still needed to go to bed at night, but the three houses were still cold and could not reach out. Honestly, this kind of home environment, I have to adapt to two days, not to mention not suffered bitter son.
