An unexpected discovery gave me a completely different perspective on a person in my family.
That day, I was busy cleaning up my room at home. Suddenly, I found that the mirror that had been placed on the desk was missing. I searched around in wonder, but I couldn't find it. Just as I was about to give up, I opened one of the drawers in the cabinet, and the mirror was actually lying there!
"Why is this mirror here?" I muttered to myself.
Just then, my mother's voice came from outside the room, "Did you find it?" and she seemed to have noticed that I was looking for something.
"Mom, do you know how a mirror can lie in a drawer?" I asked, confused.
Mom smiled, walked in, and took the mirror from my hand, "I put this mirror in." I saw you were looking for it just now, so I put it in. ”
I was a little dazed, "Why don't you just tell me where it is?"
Mom smiled and patted me lightly on the shoulder, "It's not a big deal, isn't it just a mirror?"
I didn't say anything more, but the experience made me start to think about some of my mom's little gestures at home.
In the days that followed, I discovered more things that surprised me. It turned out that Mom always silently paid attention to everything in the house. Whether my dad's clothes were ironed or not, or how well my homework was doing, she could always see the problem at a glance.
"Mom, how much do you think I can score on this exam?" I asked a little mischievously.
Mom smiled, "It's better not to say, you just have to work hard." ”
Gradually, I found that my mother seemed to be weak, but she always silently took on many trivial things at home. She never complains and always finishes her chores with a smile. Her image in my eyes began to become more three-dimensional.
"Mom, I admire you. I couldn't help but say.
Mom smiled, "Child, what you see is only a part of me, and if you are a late bloomer, there will be differences." ”
"Yibing?" I didn't understand what she meant.
My mother patted my hand gently, "Really powerful people often look 'weak', and their 'strong' is hidden in the bottom of their hearts." ”
These words made me admire my mother even more. I started to communicate with her more attentively, and I often helped with some household chores to reduce her burden as much as possible.
This unexpected discovery changed my understanding of my mother. It turns out that deep in a person's heart, there is always some unknown strength and bravery. At this point, I cherish and understand her even more.
Just when I thought I had fully understood my mother, something happened that I didn't expect. It was a weekend afternoon when I was Xi at home when I suddenly heard an argument between my mother and father.
"Why don't you understand that the future of your child is very important!" said the mother's voice with some excitement.
"I'm also for the good of my children, don't keep getting along with me!" Dad's voice was equally angry.
I walked out of the room and saw my dad holding a copy of the admissions brochure for a well-known high school, as if he was arguing with my mom about which school I should go to.
"What's the matter, what are you arguing about?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
Dad looked at me, his lips moving, as if he didn't know how to explain. Mom took my hand and said softly, "Son, Mom thinks you should go to that school and your dad ......"
"I think you should go to this school, it's better for your future!" Dad interjected.
I looked at the two men in a daze, and began to realize that there seemed to be a disagreement between them that I had never been aware of. This problem is like a ticking time bomb that is quietly buried in our family life.
This contradiction made me feel a kind of confusion and helplessness that I had never felt before. I don't know what to do, and I don't want to be a trigger for conflicts. But at the same time, I also began to wonder if their expectations and demands on me were really for my good, or for their wishes?
In the days that followed, the house looked a little solemn. Mom and Dad seemed to look at me in embarrassment, and I didn't know how to deal with them. The home became quiet, as if the existence of contradictions filled the whole space with an oppressive atmosphere.
While chatting with my grandparents, my grandfather suddenly mentioned something about my dad's youth. It turned out that when my father was in high school, he also encountered the same problem as now. At that time, the grandparents quarreled about this for a long time, but finally solved the problem.
"It's all for the good of the children, that's why there are differences. Grandpa's voice was a little low.
I began to understand that the conflicts and disagreements in the family were not because there was no consensus on my future, but because both my father and mother were full of expectations and love for my future. Their disagreement is a manifestation of love.
This weekend experience gave me more to think about. When I got home, I opened the window of heart-to-heart conversation and had a frank exchange of my feelings and thoughts with my parents. Mom and Dad listened to me, looked at each other, and smiled.
"Child, we will respect your choice and we will support you no matter which school you choose in the future. Mom said.
Dad nodded, "Yes, it's your preferences and future development that matters. ”
I saw the love and understanding in their eyes. This kind of sincere communication brings our relationship closer.
Although there will inevitably be some disagreements and contradictions in the family, it is these contradictions that make me feel the warmth and love of the family more truly. I believe that through joint efforts and understanding, any conflict in the family can be resolved.
After a while, I often observed my mother's solemn expression, but she was always reluctant to say why.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" I couldn't help but ask.
Mom shook her head slightly, "It's okay, I'll handle it myself." ”
It wasn't until one day, when I came home and found my mother with a court summons, that I realized that there was a dispute over the ownership of the house. My mother had a dispute with some neighbors over the transfer of land, and it even turned into a lawsuit.
"Mom, how can this be?" I asked, a little worried.
Mom sighed softly, "Child, this is not a small trouble. It seems that the only way to find a lawyer is to find one. ”
I immediately approached a legal volunteer in the community in the hope that a settlement could be resolved, but the situation seemed much trickier than I had imagined.
In the process of dealing with this problem, I found that a neighbor who seemed to be well-intentioned was actually spreading a lot of false remarks behind his back, creating a lot of difficulties. This made me have more doubts about people's hearts, and it also made me cherish everything that my mother has been silently undertaking for us behind our backs.
"Mom, we will definitely be able to solve this problem, don't worry too much, we are all by your side. "I tried to comfort my mother, but she still looked heavy.
This dispute made me see the hidden contradictions and strife in the family. I don't know how to deal with this situation, but the only thing I know for sure is that I will fully support my mom and be with her through this.
I was not a hard worker, and I always had to get by when I was a child, until one day, I was called to school by a teacher and told me that I had abandoned my studies, forcing me to pick up a book. At first, I only followed the teacher's words, but gradually, I found that learning Xi had fun, and I couldn't control it. After a lot of hard work, I have made great progress in my studies.
However, one day, things change completely at home. One day, I stumbled upon my mom and dad arguing in the living room, and it turned out that it was because of some financial disputes. Hearing their quarrel, I couldn't help but feel heartache and anger about it. In fact, the seemingly harmonious family in the past also had internal conflicts, which overwhelmed me.
"Child, what's wrong with you?" asked my mother with concern when she saw me appear at the door.
"It's nothing, it's just a headache. "I responded casually.
But this quarrel made me suspect that there were conflicts hidden in the family that I didn't expect.
In the days that followed, I noticed a subtle change between my father and mother, who cared for me and my brother as usual, but with a little difference in their conversations and eyes. I watched secretly, but never had a chance to unravel the mystery.
Until one day, I accidentally saw a letter in my mother's room. Instinctively, I opened it and it turned out to be a letter of economic concerns. My heart sank, and it turned out that the conflict in my family was really related to the economy.
"What is this?" suddenly sounded in Mom's voice.
I was startled and quickly turned around, only to see my mother standing at the door, looking at the envelope in my hand, her eyes full of disappointment.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I saw it by accident. I quickly explained.
Mom didn't seem to be angry, just sighed, "Child, there are some things that you better not ask." ”
I understood my mother's subtlety, but I was still hesitant in my heart. I can't let go of this kind of family strife and concealment.
Conflicts and disputes in the family caused me conflicting emotions, and I began to think about how to calm down such disputes and concealments, so as to re-establish family harmony.
A long time passed, and the atmosphere at home became a little tense. I noticed that my mother seemed to have some unspeakable troubles, and she was always sad at home. I often want to care for her, but I am a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly one day, I overheard some conversation about my mother. It turned out that she had been reluctant to mention the conflict between her and her sister. This contradiction is said to have been going on for years. I don't know much about this conflict, but I know that this incident has a great impact on my mother.
That night, Mom started busy with dinner as usual, and I suddenly plucked up the courage to say, "Mom, can we talk about the relationship between you and Auntie?"
Mom stopped what she was doing, "Do you know this?"
"I do know a few things, and I want to share my concerns with you. I said firmly.
Mom looked at me and sighed, "That's a matter in our family, you're still young, you don't need to know." ”
"But I don't like to see you so bored every day, Mom. I'm willing to listen if you want. I said.
It turned out that Mom and her sister had a big disagreement over how to deal with the family inheritance. This has led to conflicts and estrangements between them, as well as affected their family life. Mom felt a little guilty that she was not capable of reconciling this conflict.
"But now you see, you've become such a strong person and have taken on so much for me and my father. You haven't done anything wrong, and I hope you can let go of the knots. I whispered.
Tears slipped from her mother's eyes, "Child, this is a long, long conflict, and it may not be something you and I can solve." ”
"I know, but I think there are some things that need to be faced. This contradiction cannot exist endlessly, and I will support you. I encouraged.
My mother looked at me with some emotion, "Maybe it's time to face it." ”
We didn't resolve the conflict immediately, but my mom started to let go, and I tried to support her. This experience made me understand the difficulties of many adults, and I am more grateful for everything my mother has done for the family. Perhaps, this conflict no longer separates our family, and it is time to find a solution to the problem.
