I originally had a plan with my parents, when my only daughter Rachel finished college, I would retire with the old man and return the house, and then our family of three would go to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province to buy a property right house, so that my parents would also come to live with us. In this way, my old age can be rewarded to my old parents who have worked hard to pull me and Rachel.
Just when this plan was about to be realized, my sister Liu Yan suddenly came to the door and cried into my arms, saying that she and her husband were divorced and there was nowhere to go. I hurriedly asked her what was going on, and Liu Yan sobbed and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I divorced Ah Niu." You also know that he has failed in business over the years and has owed a lot of debts, and I can't bear it anymore, so I filed for divorce. ”
I was surprised and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Why didn't you say a word about such a big debt?" Liu Yan cried and said, "I don't feel ashamed, so I've been hiding it from you." Who knew that after such a long time of fighting, I had lost all my belongings and had nowhere to go. Sister, if you let me live here with you, just a few days, I'll go find a job right away!"
But I'm also very embarrassed, I have already made an appointment with my parents, but now in this situation, if I tell them, they will be half angry. After thinking about it, let's let Liu Yan stay first, and I'll go talk to the old man and them.
I told my parents the truth, and sure enough, as soon as my father heard that Liu Yan was going to move in with us, he immediately exploded: "Didn't we already say it, you guys packed up the house, changed the environment, and lived in old age?
Mom and Dad hesitated, but agreed to let Liu Yan live for a while. I happily said to Liu Yan that I could stay, and Liu Yan was so happy that I said thank you, sister.
Liu Yan and I settled the luggage she brought and sorted out a room for her to live in. Liu Yan seemed to be in a much lighter mood and began to walk around the house comfortably and cook. I advised her not to look for a job so quickly and to rest.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yan had an inexplicable possessiveness towards my family, not only did she live for a long time without the intention of leaving, but also had some quarrels with her parents from time to time. For example, once when our family was having dinner, Liu Yan suddenly asked my father for some reason: "Uncle, do you think I'm in the way?" I heard you whispering to your aunt!"
My dad was confused and asked her what to say. Liu Yan cried and said that she went to the garage to pick up her things yesterday and overheard my parents saying when she would be able to move out.
I quickly came forward to explain, not that's what I meant. But Liu Yan didn't listen, holding chopsticks and accusing my parents of being too disrespectful. My dad heard that she was making a mess of everything, and she also got angry, and the family of three quarreled at the dinner table.
I said to Liu Yan seriously: "Sister, I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can't be so unreasonable, no big or small." People have already promised you to live for so long, and you still blame the old man, it's too much!"
Liu Yan wiped his tears aggrievedly. I also had red eyes, took Liu Yan's hand and said, "Sister, if you continue like this, we will also divorce." It's been a long time for our sisters to have such a deep relationship, don't you think?"
Liu Yan was stunned, she didn't expect me to say the word divorce. She knows that I have a very good relationship with my husband, and even if something big happens, I have never mentioned divorce to my husband.
Liu Yan finally came to her senses now, and she cried and apologized to me, saying that she was too selfish and caused such a big mess to our family. I was also angry and stroked my sister's hair to comfort her.
At this time, my parents also came into the room, and their eyes were red. When my mother saw Liu Yan crying like this, her heart softened, she came over and hugged her in her arms, and said, "Silly girl, Auntie didn't really drive you away, she just hoped that you would be self-reliant and self-reliant as soon as possible, and you couldn't rely on others all the time." ”
My dad also said in a dumb voice, "Xiaoyan, uncle really didn't mean that. Don't take it to heart, let's live together as a family, what do you have to discuss. ”
I looked at my parents with emotion, thinking that they had also experienced so many ups and downs back then, and only then did they slowly run in and grow old together. My relationship with my husband has also gone through all kinds of ups and downs, so I cherish the happy life I have now.
Since then, Liu Yan has chosen a job and started to work early and return late every day to save money. My parents gradually let go of her, and even took the initiative to pack a lot of meals for her to take to the company for dinner.
After half a year, Liu Yan finally saved enough money to rent a small apartment and move out. On the day I saw her off, she thanked me with red eyes and said that she would never forget my kindness. This time she lived in my house made her realize the warmth of family, which she herself has to take care of.
I stroked my sister's head and joked with her that she could cram another person in this small apartment, and that she should let my husband move in with her. The two of us laughed heartlessly, and this is the sister I know best.
And so it went. My husband and I have been married for 15 years and have been through a lot of things, but I have never thought of divorce as much as I did at that time. Because I know that a home is accumulated bit by bit, and finally it is complete, and that is the meaning of this word.
After I sent Liu Yan away, I was finally able to spend more time with my parents.
One day, I found that the photo album of my hometown was turned out, and there were still old photos with the old man and their fingers tightly clasped. Then I suddenly remembered that my parents had also gone through many difficulties and finally came to this day.
My mother's eyes were red, and she stroked the photo and told me the story of that year. It turned out that my dad had a huge debt due to business failure, and the two of them often quarreled over money. Later, even to the point of divorce, it was my grandmother who begged hard, and they barely managed to maintain this relationship.
I was very distressed when I heard this. My mother said that after the divorce that year, they each moved out of their hometown, and it took half a year before they got back together. It was the separation of life for half a year that made my parents deeply understand the importance of each other.
I thought to myself, they also went through a lot of hardships to finally get married. My relationship with my husband has also experienced ups and downs, so I attach more importance to this marriage.
Human nature, who didn't go through the run-in to the end? The difference between success and failure is a hero, and my excited words that day finally made my sister suddenly. I can't help but sigh that my sister's stay has fulfilled my two elders and renewed the frontier, and my relationship with my husband has also turned into a crisis because of my sister's divorce vigilance, and then integrated into the sweetness of marriage.
Since then, my relationship with my husband has become more harmonious and I cherish my current life even more.
One night, my husband suddenly apologized to me with teary eyes. It turned out that he listened to my dad talk about the past, and he blamed himself very much for being too busy with work that day to accompany me and my daughter, which caused me to want a divorce.
I hurriedly comforted my husband, explaining that I was only a moment of excitement at that time, and I had no idea of divorce. The two of us have been dependent on each other for so many years, and have surpassed all the trials and tribulations, I can't imagine what my life path would have been without him.
My husband also hugged me and cried bitterly, saying that he would definitely protect me and Rachel in the future, and would never let us suffer a little grievance again. I couldn't control my tears. At this moment, I felt the most sincere love from my husband.
Later, my sister Liu Yan also called me to apologize. She said she was too headstrong at the time, pushing an otherwise happy family to the brink. I smiled and comforted my sister, it was because of that quarrel that I understood the value of my family even more.
Now I have a better relationship with my husband, my parents and my daughter. We finally got our wish and moved to a new home in Hangzhou and lived a happy life. I am always grateful to my family and have learned to cherish them more.
The days of my new home in Hangzhou are calm and pleasant. I often accompany Rachel to fish in West Lake, and we laugh and enjoy family fun. Mom also often goes to the nearby park with her wife to dance and chat, and her face is full of smiles that she hasn't seen for a long time.
One day, my sister Liu Yan suddenly called and said she wanted to come to see us. I was so excited that I immediately asked my mother to prepare Liu Yan's favorite hometown dish.
On the day Liu Yan came, we put on our dresses and received us warmly. She looked radiant, no longer the decadent and frustrated she used to be.
"Sister, I finally found a new love!" Liu Yan blushed and revealed to me. I happily blessed her, but I didn't expect Liu Yan, who had experienced an accident, to finally regain her happiness.
"It's all thanks to you, sister!" Liu Yan said emotionally, "When I lived in your house, I deeply realized that being a man must know how to be content and grateful, which is the secret to living every day. I will always remember this lesson you taught me!"
I also had tears in my eyes, I didn't expect that my ordinary every move could make a huge difference in the lives of others.
Since then, my sister's life has been smooth sailing. And my husband, parents and daughter and I also spent the happiest and comfortable old age of our lives.
We have all gone through thousands of sails in exchange for happiness in this life. I am grateful to my family, and even more grateful for this long but beautiful life!
At the end of the story, my family and I lived a stable and happy life in Hangzhou. The only thing worrying is that my father's health is deteriorating and he can no longer run as vigorously as before.
My mother and I took care of my father with all our hearts, taking medicine and physiotherapy. But at the age of the elderly, the decline of physical function is unavoidable. Watching my father get weaker day by day, I couldn't help but redden.
"Dad!" I couldn't stop crying. The mother also stroked the father's white hair and cried bitterly, and the friendship between life and death, even at the last moment of life, did not diminish at all. I can't help but think that they have also gone through so many ups and downs before they finally became a family member and grew old together.
In the end, my father didn't survive that winter. It was a very cold winter, and my father left us in his sleep. The family was by my father's side to see him off on his last journey.
My mother became more reticent, and my sister and I took turns to spend time with her. Fortunately, Rachel also got married and had children, which brought the baby's laughter, which made the mother's life not too melancholy.
In a blink of an eye, her mother had passed away, and the day her daughters saw her off, she burst into tears. But I know that my parents have been together in heaven, and this is the best place for them to belong.
I want to live strong and let my parents know in the spirit of heaven that their daughter will live well and cherish the hard-won happiness of this family.
After my parents left, my wife and I moved to a small coastal town in the south and lived a leisurely retirement.
Every Spring Festival, I go to visit my sister Liu Yan. She has two sons and a daughter, and her career is also very successful, and she is a happy family of three. I was relieved to see that my sister, who had lost her way in the past, was finally living the life she had always dreamed of.
"Sister, thanks to your troubles back then, I understand the value of my family. I said with emotion.
Liu Yan also remembered the past, clasped my hand and said, "What I am most grateful for in my life is to have such a good sister as you!"
Now my wife and I have entered the old age. Rachel is a mother of two, and her grandchildren are at the center of our lives. I often told them stories about my youth, and the children listened to them with great interest, which made me indulge in the wonderful family atmosphere.
Perhaps the highest level of enjoyment in life is to be able to see the seeds of love sown by yourself in the last moments, and the final result is ten thousand times.
