I'm Li Qiang, a sales manager on a business trip, who has just finished a week of intense work and is looking forward to returning home to meet my 50-year-old wife, Wang Fang. We have been married for 25 years, and I have always considered myself a happy husband with a calm and stable married life.
After getting off the train, I hurried through the bustling crowd and rushed to the taxi stand. Along the way, my mind was full of braised pork made by Wang Fang and her warm smile. But the moment I opened the door, something seemed wrong with the atmosphere.
"Boss, you're back!" Xiaoqiang, the parrot at home, suddenly spoke, and its voice sounded a little weird, not as crisp as usual.
I smiled and hugged Wang Fang, but her reaction was a little sluggish and even a little stiff. I tried to ignore this unusual detail and tell myself that it might be an illusion caused by the fatigue of the journey.
"Qiang, are you hungry? I made you braised pork, go take a bath, and wait for you to eat." Wang Fang seemed to deliberately avoid my gaze, and there was no enthusiasm in her voice.
I nodded and walked to the bathroom, only to hear Xiaoqiang start talking again: "It's fun that the boss isn't at home!"
I was shocked, but I still tried to tell myself that it was just parroting the people talking. After washing, I walked out of the bathroom and saw Wang Fang busy in the kitchen. At this time, our son Xiaojie ran out of the room.
"Dad, you're finally back!" Xiaojie said as he looked at me, as if there was something hidden in his eyes.
"Well, Daddy is back. What's the matter, Xiaojie, you seem to have something to say?" I tried to find out something from my son's words.
"No, nothing. I just miss you. Xiaojie quickly lowered his head, as if avoiding my gaze.
At dinner, several of Wang Fang's friends came to the house, including her little Li Mei, and a few neighbors. Li Mei is a single woman who has been divorced for many years, always full of energy, likes to wear trendy clothes, and is the type that people can remember at a glance. She always behaved extra affectionately in front of me, consciously or unconsciously.
"Li Qiang, are you tired from this business trip? We all miss you so much, right, Fangfang?" Li Mei smiled, with a hint of banter in her eyes.
Wang Fang smiled, but didn't say much. I felt an indescribable embarrassment and depression.
At the dinner table, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but my heart was in chaos. Xiao Qiang's strange cries from time to time, Wang Fang's abnormal behavior, and Xiao Jie's flickering words, all of these made me feel uneasy.
After the meal, the guests were crowded
The dispersion was gone, and the home returned to its former tranquility. I sat on the couch and tried to organize my thoughts. Wang Fang sat next to me, holding a magazine in her hand, but her eyes were wandering.
"Fangfang, let's talk. I took a deep breath and decided to speak.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Fang's voice was flat, as if she was avoiding something.
"Is there anything new in the family lately? For example, what new words has Xiaoqiang learned?" I asked tentatively.
Wang Fang's hand trembled slightly, she put down the magazine, and looked at me thoughtfully: "Xiaoqiang, it has learned a lot of new words recently. You know, parrots love to imitate. "
I nodded, but I felt the doubt in my heart grow.
At this moment, Xiaojie walked out of the room, holding a basketball in his hand: "Dad, can you accompany me to play basketball tomorrow?"
"Of course, Jay. I promised, but my mind was no longer on that.
That night, I lay in bed tossing and turning, full of thoughts. Wang Fang was already asleep and breathing evenly. I got up and walked softly to the living room. Xiaoqiang's cage hung by the window, and the moonlight shone through the window on its feathers.
"It was fun that the owner wasn't at home. Xiao Qiang suddenly repeated that sentence again.
I decided to go to the owner of the parrot shop early tomorrow morning to ask.
The next day, I woke up early in the morning. Telling Wang Fang that I was going out to do something, she just nodded and didn't ask more.
The owner of the parrot shop was a kind middle-aged man, and when he saw me entering, he greeted me warmly: "Mr. Li, why are you here again? Xiaoqiang can't be a problem, right?"
I asked bluntly: "Xiaoqiang recently learned the saying, 'It's fun when the boss isn't at home', what's going on?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Well, parrots have strong imitation skills, maybe they learned something overheard." Do you have people in your family who say this a lot?"
My heart sank and I sensed that things might not be simple. After thanking my boss, I left in a hurry, replaying in my mind what had happened in the past few days.
In the afternoon, I got home early and decided to have a good talk with Wang Fang. But when I got home, I found that there were several people sitting in the living room, several of Wang Fang's friends, including Li Mei.
"Li Qiang, you're back, we're chatting happily. When Li Mei saw me, she immediately stood up and smiled.
I nodded, but my expression was a little cold. Seeing this, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Wang Fang's eyes: "Qiang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I replied lightly.
At dinner,
At dinner, the atmosphere seemed a little oppressive. Li Mei seemed to sense something, and tried to liven up the atmosphere from time to time, but the effect was not ideal. Wang Fang's expression also seemed a little dazed, she looked at me from time to time, her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety.
At the dinner table, the conversation turned to recent community events. I'm just trying to deal with it, but my mind is not on that at all. After the meal, the guests left one after another, and the house was calm again.
I decided it was time to solve the mystery in my mind. I took a deep breath, sat down across from Wang Fang, and said seriously, "Fangfang, I think we need to have a good talk." "
Wang Fang looked up at me, and there seemed to be some panic in her eyes: "What are you talking about?"
"About some things at home lately. My tone was firm, "For example, the sentence that Xiaoqiang learned." "
Wang Fang's face suddenly turned pale, she lowered her head, and was silent for a while. Finally, she raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Strong, I'...... I don't know what to say. "
"You can say anything, we're honest with each other, aren't we?" I encouraged her.
Wang Fang took a deep breath and began to speak. It turned out that during my business trips, some neighbors and friends often came to visit my house. Because Li Mei is lonely, she often comes to our house to chat with Wang Fang and pass the time.
That day, Li Mei and a few friends came to play at home, and everyone chatted happily. It may be that someone said that sentence unintentionally, and Xiaoqiang learned it. Wang Fang choked up and said.
As I listened, the doubts in my heart gradually dissipated, but I was still a little puzzled: "Then why have you behaved ...... past few days?"
Wang Fang lowered her head, and her voice was weak: "I know that you are on a hard trip, and I wanted to surprise you, so I discussed with Xiaojie and planned to decorate our bedroom." But I didn't expect it to cause so many misunderstandings. "
My heart warmed, so it was. I gently held her hand: "Fangfang, thank you. I'm also at fault for not trusting you more. "
Wang Fang looked up, the tears in her eyes reflected a faint smile. We looked at each other and smiled, and the gloom in our hearts finally dissipated.
A few days later, I went to the basketball court with Xiaojie. On the court, I saw Xiaojie shooting, and a warm current surged in my heart. No matter how many misunderstandings and difficulties we encounter, as long as we understand and support each other, we can always find a solution.
When I got home, I decided to create more joy and warmth in this home. I proposed to go on a trip with my family, and Wang Fang and Xiaojie were very excited.
During the preparation of the tour, I suddenly thought of Xiaoqiang. I walked up to the parrot cage and said to Xiaoqiang, "Xiaoqiang, our family is going on a trip, so come with you."
。 Xiaoqiang obviously didn't understand my words, but it seemed to feel my joy and flapped its wings happily.
During the preparation, I noticed some details. Wang Fang's enthusiasm for travel far exceeded my expectations, she not only planned the itinerary in detail, but also specially prepared travel supplies for each of us. Xiaojie was also very excited, and he dreamed about travel for several nights in a row.
Finally, the day of travel has arrived. Our family of three, with Xiaoqiang, embarked on a journey. The destination is a picturesque seaside town. After arriving in the town, we first went to the beach. The sun, the sand, the waves, everything was so beautiful. Xiaojie and I frolicked on the beach, Wang Fang took pictures on the side, and Xiaoqiang screamed happily in the cage.
In the evening we ate at a restaurant by the sea. The breeze is blowing, the sound of the waves is accompanied by soft music, and everything seems so harmonious. Wang Fang ordered her favorite seafood platter, and I ordered a local grilled fish. Xiao Jie looked at the menu and excitedly chose his favorite pasta.
After the meal, we took a walk along the seaside. Wang Fang and I held hands, Xiaojie ran in front, and Xiaoqiang's cries sounded from time to time. I felt happier and more fulfilled than I had ever been. At this moment, all the worries seemed to disappear.
The next day, we went to one of the town's famous attractions, the lighthouse. The lighthouse stands on the headland, and the white buildings stand out against the blue sky. We climbed the lighthouse and looked down on the sea, with a wide view and a relaxed mood.
In the afternoon, we visited the town's history museum. The museum showcases the history and culture of the town and gives us a deeper understanding of the place.
In the evening, we took part in a local festival in the central square of the town. The square was bustling with laughter. We danced together and enjoyed the local food together. Xiaojie also learned a few words of the local dialect and excitedly communicated with the local children.
Throughout the journey, we were immersed in an atmosphere of joy and harmony. On the last day of the trip, we came to a place with a beautiful bay. The water is crystal clear, and the sand is dotted with colorful shells. We picked up shells together, and Wang Fang and I wrote our names on the beach.
As the sun went down, we sat on the beach and watched the sun sink into the sea. I held Wang Fang's hand and said with emotion: "This trip is really great, we should go out more like this and feel the beauty of life." "
Wang Fang nodded and smiled: "Yes, strong." This trip made me feel the warmth of family
Xin and happiness, I hope we can often do this, and go to different places with you and Xiaojie. "
At that moment, I looked at Wang Fang and Xiaojie, and my heart was full of gratitude. This trip not only brought us closer together, but also made me rediscover the importance of family.
The next day, we set out on our way home. The scenery outside the car window flashed by, but my heart was full of satisfaction and anticipation. I look forward to having more such times in the future and creating more beautiful memories together in the journey of life.
When I got home, life was calm again. I went back to my busy work, Wang Fang was busy with her daily affairs, and Xiaojie was immersed in Xi school and playing with friends. But our relationship has become closer because of this trip, and the family atmosphere has become more harmonious.
Whenever I come home from work and see Wang Fang and Xiaojie's cheerful smiles, I feel extremely happy. Even though there are times when work is stressful, the thought of the warm atmosphere at home makes all the tiredness melt away.
On the weekends, I would accompany Xiaojie to play basketball or do some outdoor activities together. Wang Fang prepares some delicious home-cooked food, and sometimes we invite neighbors and friends over for dinner. Our home has become a place where everyone likes to gather, full of laughter and warmth.
One night, I was sitting on the balcony and looking at the bright stars in the night sky, next to Wang Fang and Xiaojie. The three of us shared each other's thoughts and dreams together, and felt the warmth of home.
"Dad, I want to be a scientist when I grow up. Xiaojie said excitedly.
"That's great, Jay, you can make your dreams come true. I encouraged him.
Wang Fang smiled, her eyes full of maternal love: "No matter what you want to do, we will support you, Xiaojie." "
I looked at them and felt immense pride and happiness in my heart. Home is not only a place to live, but also a harbor of the soul, where our common dreams and hopes are.
Since then, no matter how many challenges and difficulties life throws at us, we will face them together and solve them together. Our home, because of love, is indestructible. Our story, because of each other, is full of color and warmth.
This is my story, the simple happiness of an ordinary person. Sometimes, happiness is all around us, but we don't savor it. In this fast-changing world, I want to tell everyone not to forget to cherish the people around you and cherish every moment we spend together. Because these are the truest and most beautiful parts of life.
