At home, why is it that the easiest thing to accomplish is the easiest to give up? Today's story may give you the answer...
Xiao Ding works in a state-owned enterprise, has been married for twelve years, and has a lovely son. In the ninth year of their marriage, one thing changed the seemingly calm little Ding.
On a Saturday of that year, Xiao Ding's phone rang, and it was a comrade-in-arms from afar: "Hey, Xiao Ding?" I'm Lao Xia, I want to tell you one thing, our squad leader has passed away, and now in Wuhan, are you going to go and see it? Xiao Ding heard the news first stunned, and then like "angina-like feeling", he held the table, for a long time did not flood stomach disease immediately hit back, he collapsed on the sofa.
"I'll go, where you are, I'll go to you, maybe today we'll all book tickets." Xiao Ding said.
Xiao Ding and his comrades-in-arms arrived in Wuhan, and the two men cried like children, as if they could never find their parents and home. In the two days in Wuhan, after the comrades-in-arms were busy, no one smiled, not even a person who interjected.
At the memorial service, they learned that the old squad leader was only 42 years old. I have been waiting for my paralyzed mother, taking care of a son and a daughter, and being a father and a mother, and my life is very hard. He always felt a stomachache, but due to the special situation at home, he had never been to the hospital for examination. One day, he fainted on the way home from work and was taken to the hospital by passers-by to find out that he was terminally ill with cancer. But this man, in the last days of his life, as always, took care of his two children and his paralyzed mother, usually only relying on painkillers to carry.
After the funeral, Xiao Ding specially bought a train ticket to come back, he did not want to take the plane, because he did not want to return home so quickly, and he was extremely frustrated and could not face his current home. He and his wife had been separated for a year, and in order to avoid conflicts, he had to eat at the unit, and only went home late at night to sleep, and the home seemed to have become a hostel.
On the way back, Xiao Ding's mind was full of the old squad leader's previous smile and the cries of his children when he and his wife quarreled. When the train stopped at a very small station, he could no longer hold back the tears, and the bitterness that had been squeezed into his heart for many years filled his entire world.
After getting off the train, he called home. When the taxi stopped in front of the house, he dialed his wife's phone: "Hey, Aegean, it's me, let's stop making trouble, we should have a good chat." There were tens of seconds of silence on the other end of the phone: "Okay. I'm waiting for you. ”
Entering the house, Aegean looked at the tired man in front of him and threw herself into his arms: "I was wrong before, I shouldn't let you participate in my competition for my own vanity, and make you tired." Aegean said.
"Not exactly, I should also think for you, the work pressure is high, it is not easy for you to come out of a small mountain village, I am not helping you enough." Xiao Ding held the Aegean.
After a long time, the two looked at each other and looked at the "familiar stranger" in front of them, and they both showed a long-lost smile.
Sometimes, the hardest thing for us to stick to is often the easiest thing we can do, the trivial things. It needs to be done day by day, year after year. There are no vigorous feelings in life, only indispensable chai rice oil and salt, and can not escape the joys and sorrows.
Treat every day as the last day of your life, and you will really feel that many things are "not called a thing".
