My name is Li Ping, I am 32 years old, and I am an ordinary office worker. My cousin Lin Chuchu is 3 years younger than me, and I had a good relationship when I was a child, but unfortunately I grew up and drifted away. Until the other day, I received her wedding invitation, and I was excited and a little complicated.
The day after the invitation was sent, Chu Chu suddenly came to visit my house, and said in an ordered tone: "Brother, you must come to my wedding!" This is the most important day of my life and I will be very sad if you don't come! ”
I was a little surprised, and said softly: "Chu Chu, of course I will attend your wedding, but I have been busy with work recently..." ”
"What's so busy at work!" Chu Chu interrupted me impatiently, "I only have one wedding, can't you take a leave?" I came to see you, if you don't come, then we really don't have a brother!" ”
Looking at this cousin in front of me, I only felt strange and disgusted. We haven't been in touch for a long time, why did she order me like that? I took a deep breath and said as gently as I could: "Chu Chu, I know that your wedding is very important, and I will definitely take leave to attend." It's just that you also have to understand that work is not something you can ask for if you want to take time off... ”
"Hmph, you're making excuses again!" Chu Chu did not hesitate, "If I want to say, you just dislike my cousin and think that attending my wedding is a waste of time!" You have been like this since you were a child, you think that you are better than me and look down on me! ”
I retorted in surprise: "What, why do you think that?" I didn't look down on you, I just didn't think you should order me like that... ”
"You come less!" Chu Chu said angrily, "I just order you!" I tell you, if you don't come to the wedding, I will announce in front of everyone that my cousin never considered me family! Don't try to mix well then! ”
After speaking, Chu Chu slammed the door and left. Leave me standing where I am, mixed feelings. My cousin's sudden visit and strange orders made me feel both embarrassed and angry. I couldn't understand her state of mind and was full of worries about her future marriage.
Two days later, on the wedding day, I left the company early and went to the banquet hall of the hotel. Chu Chu, who was lining up to welcome guests at the door, saw me with a somewhat surprised expression, but soon smiled coldly and turned his head without saying anything.
After the banquet officially began, I sat silently in the corner and exchanged pleasantries with the rest of my relatives. Chu Chu looked elated after being busy alone. My heart was full of puzzlement for her.
Not long after I sat down, Chu Chu suddenly came over, bumped me hard with his elbow, and whispered: "Hey, you give me to help entertain guests, what are you still sitting here in a daze!" ”
I frowned, lowered my voice and said, "Chu Chu, I'm a guest, don't you need me to entertain others?" ”
"You're my cousin, aren't you the Lord's family!" Chu Chu said reasonably, "Hurry up, there are so many guests, and you still need to toast!" ”
I got up helplessly and began to help serve tea and water in the banquet hall, and was forced by Chu Chu to toast the guests. When some unfamiliar relatives saw me coming, they all looked surprised and asked, "Young man, which of your groom's brothers are you?" "I can only explain with shame that I am the bride's cousin.
Just as I was awkwardly coping, Chu Chu's voice suddenly sounded behind me: "You are quite good at toasting, why are you so old-fashioned to me?" You all greet the guests with a smile on your face, and you are unhappy with me from beginning to end! ”
I turned my head sharply, and Chu Chu was standing behind me and sneering at me. The relatives and friends who came to the wedding also looked at us, and my face "brushed" red: "Chu Chu, there are so many people here, let's talk about this later." ”
"What's not to talk about!" Chu Chu raised his voice, "Everyone is a family, just tell the truth, what are you pretending to be reserved!" ”
Suddenly, whispers sounded all around, and my heart went to my throat. Chu Chu, this is my ugliness in public!
"Chu Chu, you're drunk." I tried to stay calm and wanted to pull her aside.
"I'm not drunk!" Chu Chu threw away my hand and pointed to my nose, "Li Ping, you must give me an explanation today, why have you disliked me so much for so many years!" What the hell do you think of me as family? ”
My brain "buzzed" and felt a nameless fire rise. Well, you Lin Chuchu, you dare to humiliate me in front of so many people!
"Okay Lin Chuchu, you give me enough time!" I put down my politeness and said seriously, "We are family, you can say anything unpleasant in private, but you should not accuse me in public." I gave you face to attend the wedding, but you did this to me, it was too much! ”
"Am I excessive?" Chu Chu screamed, "I'm just telling the truth!" You are hypocritical! Since I was a child, you have said that I am not good everywhere, and often complained to people, you are too good or not! ”
"It turned out to be me!" I really couldn't bear it, "Lin Chuchu, which of your eyes saw me saying bad things about you?" It is clear that you yourself are weak in heart that you have arranged these groundless words to attack me! ”
Chu Chu and I quarreled at the banquet, which made all the guests embarrassed, and after a while, the groom couldn't bear to come over and persuade: "Okay, okay, today is a festive day, you guys stop arguing!" ”
Just then, my phone suddenly rang...
I happily picked up the phone and quit the argument with Chu Chu. On the other end of the phone was the voice of my cousin's fiancé Li Hao, who asked me in a low voice: "Brother Ping, are you at the Chuchu wedding scene?" ”
I replied in surprise: "I am, what's wrong Brother Hao?" ”
Li Hao said: "Brother, in fact, there are some problems between me and Chu Chu, and I am afraid that the marriage will be difficult to achieve." I know this is not good for Chu Chu, but as an older brother, it is necessary for you to let Chu Chu also know the truth... ”
I asked in amazement, "What the hell is going on?" You were obviously still micro yesterday, people, drying the auditorium and wedding dress! ”
Li Hao said with a slight embarrassment: "Hmm... Truth be told, I was indeed preparing for the wedding yesterday, but this morning I received a message from my ex-girlfriend saying that I had an unsolved problem, and if I didn't face her, she would go straight to Chu Chu. ”
My eyes widened: "What? Are you still entangled with your ex-girlfriend? Does Chu Chu know? ”
"This..." Li Hao was supportive, "I broke off contact with my ex-girlfriend a long time ago, but maybe she hasn't completely let go, I just don't want to bother Chu Chu, so I didn't tell her..." ”
I was almost furious: "Li Hao! As a qualified husband, how can such a major event be hidden? The foundation of your relationship should be built on sincerity and trust! ”
Li Hao said, "I know brother, I also blame myself. It's just that now the wedding has reached this point, and there is no point in continuing to hide it. I still decided that it was up to you to relay the news to Chu Chu and let her choose how to continue... ”
My brain was a little confused and I was overwhelmed for a while. Turning my head to look at Chu Chu, who was still sneering on the side, I had mixed tastes in my heart. This news hit her too hard, and she would definitely be disheartened: but if you continue to hide her, it would be too irresponsible.
"Well, since you said that... I respect Chuchu's choice. I told Li Hao.
After hanging up the phone, I hesitated for a while, but still plucked up the courage to walk towards Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, there was an important call just now, I want to say a few words to you alone." ”
"What's important that can't be said in front of everyone?" Chu Chu pouted disdainfully.
I quickly pulled her to the corner and said with a solemn face: "It's about Brother Hao." He just called me to tell me that there are some problems between you and that the marriage may be difficult. Ask him personally, I think you have the right to know the truth. ”
Chu Chu's face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "What..." What problem? What about Li Haoren? ”
I shook my head sadly: "He said that he still had some personal matters to deal with, and he couldn't come in person." But he wants you to make your own choice... ”
Chu Chu's tears swirled in her eyes, and she covered her mouth and couldn't speak.
I felt distressed, but I also understood that she needed time to face this fact. I patted her shoulder lightly, thinking about the bits and pieces of our childhood. Perhaps the brotherhood of blood thicker than water can finally help her get through the difficulties.
"Chu Chu, I'm here. Whatever you choose, we will support you. I said sincerely.
Chu Chu looked at me blankly, and tears finally welled up...
Seeing Chu Chu burst into tears, I felt very uncomfortable. Even though she was still publicly humiliating me just now, after all, we were all a family, and I couldn't bear to see her hurt.
"Chu Chu, come, let's go out and say." I gently persuaded her.
Chu Chu nodded uncontrollably, and I helped her out of the banquet hall, to the garden outside the hotel, and found a quiet bench to sit on.
After a while, Chu Chu's tears gradually stopped, and she said to herself: "It turns out that Brother Hao is hiding that I have other women, I am really stupid and naïve..." ”
I patted her hand and said, "I don't blame you, anyone can temporarily lose their mind when facing love, and this can't all be blamed on you." ”
"So what now? The wedding is ready and the guests are there, how can I cancel the wedding just like that? Chu Chu said desperately.
I thought for a moment and looked at Chu Chu seriously: "My advice is that instead of ending it hastily, it is better to give yourself a little time to make a decision." You can confront Li Hao first, and if he sincerely explains, maybe the relationship can continue. But the premise is that your own choice is the most important, and you must not be influenced by external pressure. ”
Chu Chu sniffed and nodded: "Well, too, I do need time to think about it..." Just now at the banquet, I was so excited that I vented it all on you. I'm sorry cousin, but I've always respected you. ”
I smiled slightly: "I can understand that you are still my most important cousin." The foundation of our relationship is far deeper than today's quarrel. ”
"Actually, I've always seen you as my own brother." Chu Chu red eyes said, "Since I was a child, my parents have not been around, and I am still very solid in my heart to have a cousin like you." It's just that when I grow up, I get used to dealing with a lot of things by myself, and you also focus on work, and we are gradually distant, and I don't adapt to it for a while, so I want to order you to come to my wedding. In fact, I still hope that you can be by my side... ”
I was a little sad, it turned out that my little sister had been looking forward to the company of her family in her heart. I held her hand and said, "Well, it's my brother who doesn't take care of you enough." But now is not too late, our family needs to come together and tide over this together. Whatever your final choice, I will support you and will often come home to see you. ”
Chu Chu hugged me tightly, and tears came out of his eyes again: "Cousin, I'm sorry, I was wrong..." I'll think about it carefully, take care of myself... ”
I gently patted Chu Chu's back and made her cry out of her eyes. After a while, Chu Chu's eyes were red, he nodded firmly to me, turned around and walked back to the banquet hall alone. I know that at this moment, she has made her own mature choice.
I looked at Chu Chu's departing back, and infinite emotion and tolerance surged in my heart. Through all this, I seem to have become more mature. There is still a long way to go in life, we all have to learn to look at the openness and cherish the relatives around us...
I sat alone on the garden bench for a while, watching the stars in the night sky. Tonight's experience made me think about many things anew.
Perhaps, Chu Chu and I need to grow on the emotional road. She needs to learn to be tolerant and cautious, and I have to reflect on whether I have been too focused on my work and neglected my family.
At this moment, a familiar figure slowly walked over, it was Chu Chu. She could no longer see tears on her face, and said to me with a calm expression: "Cousin, I have figured it out and decided to cancel tonight's wedding." ”
I nodded approvingly: "You made a brave choice. But I hope you also give yourself a little time and don't make a hasty decision on your relationship with Li Hao. ”
Chu Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I've given myself time to think. In fact, the relationship road between Hao and I was relatively bumpy, and my relatives did not support us very much. The reason why I insisted on this wedding was also to prove our determination. Now it seems that Hao Di still needs time to sort out his heart. I don't want to push him too hard, it's best to give each other some space. ”
I nodded and said, "You're very analytical. Feelings need to be managed by both parties and cannot be forced. Whether you can end up together or not, respect and support each other, which is a sign of maturity. ”
Chu Chu smiled bitterly and said: "I have always been selfish and willful. This experience made me understand that feelings need to be cared for by both parties, not just themselves. I will remember this lesson. ”
"Actually, you're not all selfish and willful, I understand your good." I encouraged her, "You're just too straightforward and need to learn how to get along better with people." It takes time to accumulate, and I will always be with you. ”
"Thank you cousin." Chu Chu's eyes were red, "I will grow up slowly and cherish my family." In the future, we must keep in touch and stop being estranged. ”
"Definitely." I nodded vigorously.
At this time, the guests in the banquet hall had dispersed. Chu Chu took a deep breath and encouraged himself: "I will go and apologize to the guests now and explain the situation tonight." This is also a responsibility that I have to bear. Cousin, make you laugh, I will grow slowly. ”
"Well, take care of yourself. Call me when you need me. ”
"Hmm!" Chu Chu straightened his back and walked to the banquet hall.
I looked at her departing back, and an indescribable emotion and pride rose in my heart - my cousin is maturing step by step.
On the road of life, we are constantly learning and improving. After all this, I also have to calm down and reflect on what is more important in my life.
Perhaps, I can also try to understand and tolerate everyone around me, and learn to put myself in the shoes of others. It was also a valuable life experience for me.
The past will eventually turn into the poems and songs of life. I took a deep breath of the refreshing night breeze and silently made my wish.
