That day, I managed to help my family solve a big problem. There were some twists and turns, but in the end everything was settled satisfactorily.
It was an ordinary weekend and my brother and I were cleaning at home. Mom, who was busy cooking, suddenly smiled at us and said, "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you."
He said to me, "You know what happened to my brother when he was a child, he has a lot of affection for this ham sausage, you have to take good care of him."
The elder brother took the ham sausage, tears glistening in his eyes. I know that the ham sausage is not simple for him, it carries his memories and emotions.
My brother and I looked at each other, not understanding what my mother meant. She sighed and told us that there had been some problems in the family before, but she and her dad and other relatives wanted us to face it together.
At that moment, I decided to start with another ham sausage and reconnect with my brother.
Of course, the problem of family conflicts is not so easy to solve, especially when it comes to some emotional entanglements.
My brother and I are also slowly adjusting our mentality, we no longer quarrel easily, but use more communication to solve problems.
I know that even the closest family members will have friction and disagreements, but it is because of the deep affection and concern between family members that we can grow and be stronger.
After that weekend, the relationship between me and my brother improved somewhat, but the conflicts at home did not completely disappear as a result.
It was Dad's birthday, and the whole family got together to surprise him. Mom cooked a hearty meal for Dad, while my brother and I set the table and prepared the birthday cake.
I wanted to explain, but my mother hurriedly interrupted: "Don't have a conflict on Dad's birthday!" We were all silent, but this quarrel made me feel wronged.
The dinner did not go as expected, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Dad was smiling, but there was disappointment in his eyes.
At night, my brother and I sat sullenly in our room. He suddenly broke the silence and said, "You know what? Actually, I didn't like the cake either, but I felt that it was too late, so I compromised."
This news came as a bit of a shock to me, because usually my dad has always been a strong image. But now it seems that Dad may also have some of his own difficulties and troubles.
"Through my mother's words, I know that my father has always chosen to remain silent so as not to worry us.
I discussed it with my brother and decided that I wanted to take care of my dad more. We began to take the initiative to care about his life and work, and tried not to cause him trouble.
Once, I saw my dad in the office frowning, facing a pile of documents, working hard.
It makes me a little sad, I don't mean to bother him, I just want to give him some pampering and care. After discussing it with my brother, we decided to cook my dad's favorite dish together in the evening.
But that day, when we were getting everything ready and waiting for Dad to come home, he suddenly called and said he would be back late because of work.
Willing to wait is the best way to show care and understanding, and I firmly believe that as long as we are united as a family, we will be able to overcome the difficulties in front of us.
Dad, be brave, we're here for you.
My relationship with my brother has gotten a lot better since that weekend. There are a lot less arguments and misunderstandings between us.
However, just when I thought that everything would slowly get better, something unexpected happened.
One day, I stumbled upon a note in my brother's school bag, which read, "Brother, I have finished all my homework today, can you copy my math homework? Thank you, brother!"
I was thrilled and angry. I think that as an older brother, there should be a family relationship between them, but it should definitely not be turned into such a bad example.
He admitted it all and explained to me why he did these things.
He said that he had always been a big brother to the children, and that they were always there for him, and that it was difficult for him to refuse their requests.
We got into a heated argument. I think his actions are not only harming his niece, but also giving her a false example.
This conflict strained our relationship again, and I began to doubt his way of doing things. I was so tired that I didn't know how it all happened.
Hopefully things will improve, but now I'm confused.
