My name is Li Qing, I am an ordinary housewife, my husband's name is Li Qiang, and we have a lovely daughter named Xiaofang. Xiao Fang is 7 years old, a smart and obedient child, she is very fond of music, and often practices singing or imitating musical instruments alone at home. My husband and I both want our daughter to develop her hobbies, so we want to send her to some formal music lessons.
A few days ago, I saw a new piano training class in the town, with teachers with rich qualifications and a reputation for teaching quality. I took Xiaofang to a trial lesson, and saw that she was very interested in learning piano, so I decided to send her to this piano class to study. I negotiated with the teacher that the tuition fee for this piano class is 5,000 yuan a year. For me this amount is a bit large and needs to be paid out of our household savings. But seeing my daughter's expectant eyes, I still decided that I would rather suffer some losses than let her learn some music and increase her knowledge.
I discussed this matter with my husband, and he agreed to pay the money. To be on the safe side, we took out 5,000 yuan in cash from our savings and asked my husband to take it to a piano class to pay for a year's tuition. I told my husband to keep it and not lose it. My husband also promised that he would handle it carefully. I happily told Xiaofang the good news, and she was very happy and said that she would study piano hard and become a great pianist in the future.
Two days later, I took Xiaofang to the piano class, but was told by the teacher that the tuition fee had not been paid yet. I was surprised, and quickly called my husband Li Qiang to ask about the situation. Li Qiang hesitated, and finally told me that the money was borrowed by his brother-in-law Li Hong.
It turned out that Li Hong was my husband's brother-in-law, more than ten years older than us. He started a small business, but he never ran it well, and his family was poor. Maybe seeing that my husband has so much money, he asked to borrow it. My husband relented and lent him the money. I immediately became angry after hearing this, and called Li Hong:
"Hey, uncle, what are you doing with our daughter's piano tuition? That's a year's worth of her tuition!"
Li Hong on the other end of the phone immediately became nervous, and explained quickly: "Auntie, I also received a big order temporarily, and the funds were not enough to turnover, so I borrowed it when I saw that Brother Qiang had so much money." I'll find a way to pay you back. ”
I was even more angry, raised my voice and said, "One year of piano tuition is important for our family. I'm angry about this, you have to pay it back as soon as possible!"
Li Hong's attitude weakened, and his words were full of fear: "I know it's wrong, Auntie, I will definitely return the money to you this week, I'm really sorry!"
I hung up the phone, angry and helpless. As a mother, I was looking forward to starting my daughter's music career, but now I was ruined by my uncle's selfishness. I was extremely angry, and at the same time felt that my husband's way of dealing with the problem was too rash. Knowing the uncle's character, he shouldn't lend him money casually. The way my daughter cried made me feel even more distressed.
When the doorbell rang, I opened the door excitedly, only to see my brother-in-law Li Hong standing outside the door, panting and holding a bulging envelope. He was sweating profusely, and his face was full of guilt.
"Auntie, I really know that I was wrong! Here are 5,000 yuan, all of which were borrowed in a hurry. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken Xiaofang's tuition, I was so selfish. Please forgive me for this mistake, I swear never again!"
I took the heavy envelope, which was full of large denominations of cash. I was a little surprised, I didn't expect him to pay back so quickly. Seeing his apologetic explanation, my anger subsided a little. After all, people are not sages, and there will always be times when they make mistakes.
"Forget it, it's done. As long as you recognize the problem, I don't care. But this matter should be taken as a warning to everyone, and you should also review and correct your own faults. "I softened.
"I'm completely mistaken, Auntie! Rest assured, I will definitely learn this lesson and will never do such a stupid thing again. Thank you very much for forgiving me, I will definitely remember your teachings and be a new person!" Li Hong assured excitedly.
I asked my brother-in-law to go back and rest, and not to be in a hurry. People are not saints, and no one will inevitably make mistakes. I also began to reflect on whether my attitude towards my brother-in-law was too biased. Although he has a flirtatious personality, he also takes good care of our family on weekdays. I should not be beaten to death with a stick, but given a chance to mend my ways.
After this incident, I also had a good chat with my husband. I told him that when dealing with similar things in the future, he should think carefully and not take it lightly. We can't afford to fund my brother-in-law's absurd life for a long time, but we should strictly demand that he correct the problem. The husband also felt deeply wrong, and said that he would actively guide the little uncle on the right path.
I also feel that as a mother, I can't spoil my daughter too much. When something unsatisfactory happens, I should not let her cry, but let her learn to be strong in the face of it. There will inevitably be bumps in the road to music, and I should urge my daughter to work hard to complete her studies and develop her independent will.
After that, I regularly reminded Xiaofang that learning music requires self-discipline and diligence. As a mother, I will fully support her, but she also has to practice on her own. Through this incident, I hope to pass on the tenacity to my daughter. Sure enough, under my supervision, Xiaofang's piano skills have made great progress. She would practice herself at home and happily play it to me. Looking at my daughter's happy smiling face, I also feel satisfied.
It is inevitable that there will be bumps in the road in life, but through mutual understanding, support and encouragement, our family relationship has also deepened. I know that as long as I work hard, I will be able to overcome difficulties and usher in a bright future. Xiaofang has also become more and more mature in the process, and I believe that she will definitely become a kind and strong person.
Time passed, and our family returned to its normal rhythm of life. I will regularly send Xiaofang to piano lessons and urge her to practice more after class. As long as I remind her, Xiaofang will obediently go to practice, and her piano level will improve rapidly.
One day, Xiao Fang rushed to me and wanted to play me a newly learned tune. I readily agreed, and sat next to me and listened carefully. I only heard Xiao Fang play a light and lively melody, and the notes tinkled like spring water, playing a cheerful atmosphere. I couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Fang, you are making such a fast progress!" Mom is going to be amazed by your piano skills. ”
Xiaofang smiled happily: "It is because the teacher teaches me well that I will improve so quickly." Mom, I will continue to work hard to learn music and strive to become a good pianist as soon as possible!"
I listened to the warmth in my heart and gently stroked her hair: "As long as you maintain your enthusiasm and continue to study hard, your mother will fully support your dreams." But don't be in a hurry, one step at a time can go steadily. ”
"I know, Mom! Rest assured, I will stick to it. Xiao Fang said, playing the piano again, her skillful fingers dancing, as if to bring all the notes to life.
At this time, my brother-in-law Li Hong also came to visit us, and I was very surprised to hear Xiaofang's performance. "Xiaofang's piano plays so well! I'm really impressed. It seems that I did something wrong at that time, but fortunately I atoned for my sins in time and did not ruin Xiaofang's opportunity to study music. ”
I nodded: "People are always responsible for their actions. But you've learned your lesson, and that's a good thing. Our family has given you the opportunity to be a new person, and you should cherish it. ”
"I have learned profound teachings, and I will definitely be a new person in the future, and I sincerely wish Xiaofang to become an excellent pianist in the future." Li Hong said sincerely.
This event has made everyone grow. I also realized that there will inevitably be unsatisfactory things in life, but as long as we face them positively, we will definitely bear fruit.
Now that our family lives in harmony, Xiaofang's piano dream is also developing in a better direction. I will continue to fully support her, but also teach her to be independent. Writing these words is like writing a letter to yourself, reminding yourself to cherish the life in front of you and face every challenge on the road of life with a positive attitude.
I believe that with the mutual support and encouragement of our family, we will be able to overcome the thorns ahead and meet a better tomorrow. This is also the meaning of life - you and I are not flawless, but we can get warmth and strength among relatives and make progress together. I know that Xiaofang will grow into a kind and resilient person, and her musical dreams will definitely come true.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaofang is 10 years old. Her piano skills have improved greatly in the past few years, and she often achieves good results in various music competitions. My husband and I couldn't be prouder of her.
One day I picked up Xiaofang from school and came home, and she was uncharacteristically depressed. I asked her with concern what was wrong, and she told me the reason – that the piano teacher she liked had recently left the conservatory to develop in another city. I saw that Xiaofang was depressed, so I patiently comforted her:
"There is always a time to part, but parting also means a new beginning. It will make you sad that the teacher is gone, but his teaching has become the cornerstone of your music learning. You have to thank the teacher for his training so far, but you also have to be brave enough to face his departure. The teacher's departure does not mean that your path of learning the piano is over, but you should stick to it more consciously, so that the teacher can rest assured. ”
"Mom is right, I shouldn't be discouraged. It was also a small test that the teacher was gone and I had to face on my own. I will try my best to review and memorize all the knowledge taught by the teacher, and I believe that the college will hire a good teacher again. I will definitely continue to work hard to learn the piano!" Xiaofang regained her confidence.
"Yes, Mom believes you can. Our family will continue to fully support you. I encouraged.
At this moment, the brother-in-law Li Hong came to the house as a guest. After learning the reason why Xiaofang was unhappy, he also gave Xiaofang advice:
"Xiaofang, you must know that there will inevitably be difficulties on the road to growth. When I was a child, I also encountered a lot of hardships when I was studying, but I relied on my perseverance to overcome all difficulties to achieve today's achievements. You have to learn to start over after you lose, and it takes strength and perseverance. But you are not fighting alone, we have your back. You have to believe in yourself and you can become a good pianist!"
"Thank you, little uncle, I took note of your words. I will try to face difficulties and not give up easily. Xiao Fang smiled again.
My husband and I looked at each other and smiled, both very pleased with Xiaofang's growth process. After the blow of her teacher's departure, she became more resilient and knew how to start over.
Watching my daughter mature day by day, I also feel reassured. The little girl who loved to cry when she was a child has grown up and has become a sensible and strong girl. Through various trials, she has grown into an independent and motivated person. I know that she will encounter more difficulties on the road of her musical pursuit, but with our help, she will definitely be able to overcome it.
I believe that Xiaofang will definitely realize her musical dream and become an excellent pianist. And our family will also become happier because of her growth. I am grateful that every difficult moment in life is a ladder of progress in life. No matter what kind of ups and downs we will encounter in the future, our family will be tightly united, go through the wind and rain together, and welcome a better tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaofang has graduated from high school. Over the years, she has insisted on learning piano, and her skills have become more and more sophisticated. She is about to enter the Conservatory of Music and realize her musical dreams.
One day, Xiaofang came to me with a serious and determined expression: "Mom, I want to go abroad to study at a conservatory, this is the best way to realize my music dream." Please support my decision!"
I was a little caught off guard and said with a wry smile: "The cost of studying abroad is very high, have you really thought about it clearly?"
Xiaofang nodded solemnly: "I can apply for a scholarship, and I can also work to earn living expenses." I am ready for any difficulties and obstacles on the way to study. ”
Looking at the determined light in my daughter's eyes, I knew that this was her decision after serious consideration. As a mother, I shouldn't deprive her of the opportunity to achieve her dreams.
"Well, since you have made up your mind to go, we have your full support. Remember to take care of yourself and tell us if you encounter any difficulties. I nodded in agreement.
Xiaofang happily hugged me: "Mom, I will definitely study hard and pay attention to my own safety." I'll be in touch with you every day when you get there. ”
I know that this is an important choice for her, and she also has enough courage and perseverance to face unknown challenges. As a mother, I should learn to let go and let my daughter chase her dreams.
In this way, Xiaofang came to a foreign country and started a new study life. To alleviate our concerns, she would regularly video with us about what she had seen there. She also encountered many difficulties, but with her own efforts and the help of her teachers, she overcame them one by one.
I often think of that crying girl from my childhood, who is now on her own, fighting for her dreams in a faraway land. We are all so proud of her. I also knew that she would be a great musician and move the world with beautiful melodies.
Life is like a long journey, with ups and downs along the way, but we are not alone. With family and close friends to help us, we will eventually reach the other side of our dreams. I thank everyone in my life for being my motivation to move forward. Xiaofang's growth has made me see hope, she is the pride of our family, and it is also the driving force for me to continue to move forward. From now on, we will go through more ups and downs together, but all the suffering will eventually turn into laughter.
After four years of study, Xiaofang finally graduated from the Conservatory. At the graduation ceremony, the college specially commended her as a representative of outstanding graduates and presented her with the "Outstanding Music Student Award". I cried tears of joy when I saw my daughter on stage receiving the award, my husband was even more excited to stand up and applaud, and Xiaofang also waved to us excitedly.
After graduating, Xiao Fang received an invitation from a famous symphony orchestra in China to become their piano soloist. My husband and I proudly attended her premiere and watched her play beautiful and passionate music on stage, her fingertips dancing rapidly, perfectly interpreting every note. The audience applauded her performance. I couldn't hold back the joy and pride in my heart anymore – my daughter had finally achieved her musical dream!
Backstage at the performance, Xiaofang happily ran to us: "Mom and Dad, I did it!" All of this is the result of your support and encouragement, thank you for not giving up on me. From now on, I will touch more people with music. ”
"Baby, you have achieved your dreams with your own efforts, and we are so proud of you! I hope you will always adhere to the passion of music creation and pass on the beauty to the world. "I was in tears in the blink of an eye.
The little brother-in-law Li Hong also came to the backstage, and he said sincerely: "Xiaofang, I am very pleased to see your achievements today. You almost lost the opportunity to learn music at the beginning, but in the end, you were not defeated by the difficulties, and you still went further and further on the road of music. I'm incredibly proud of you!"
"Thank you, little uncle, it was you who made me understand the importance of hard work and perseverance at first. In the future, I will use music to thank everyone in my life who has helped me. Xiao Fang said happily.
Along the way, Xiaofang faced difficulties and obstacles, but she did not give up and finally realized her dream. And we, as family members, have also learned a lot from her – learning to support and encourage, to give warmth and comfort. Xiaofang's growth makes our lives more satisfying and happy.
There is no absolute failure in life, as long as you are willing to stand up and set off again, you will definitely see hope. I am convinced that Xiaofang's musical talent will move the world, and she will also meet greater achievements and joy. And our family will eventually be reunited and happy, because we have each other's warmest company.
