My name is Lin Xiaoxue and I just turned 22 this year. I remember the day my father died, and the sky was unusually gloomy, as if it was a sign of an impending change. My stepmother, Li Hong, is a simple woman who doesn't have much culture, but to me, she is like a biological mother. After her father left, the burden of the family suddenly fell on her shoulders alone.
At that time, I was preparing to take the college entrance examination. Li Hong sold our family's only house just so that I could go to a good university. That day, she took the real estate certificate and said to me with tears in her eyes: "Xiaoxue, mom has no ability in this life, and she can't leave anything for you." This house is the only thing your dad left behind, and now it's sold, at least it will guarantee you college. ”
I had mixed feelings, but I knew that neither justification nor rejection would help. During that time, we moved to a dilapidated rental house on the outskirts of town. The house is small and there are still signs of mold on the walls, but Li Hong always tries her best to make the room look warm and cozy.
"Xiaoxue, although this place is simple, as long as the two of us are together, everywhere is home. "Li Hong always comforts me like this.
I can't fully let go. Every day when I come back to this small space after school, I always think of the spacious and bright home we once had. Although I tried my best to maintain excellent grades in school, my inner struggles and unrest never stopped.
After the college entrance examination, I was lucky enough to be admitted to a prestigious university. Li Hong was ecstatic about this, but I knew that behind it was the price of her countless sleepless nights.
During my college years, I made many new friends and gradually moved away from the poverty and hardships of life. My roommate, Xiaoli, is a typical city girl, and she always says to me, "Xiaoxue, you are so lucky to have such a good stepmother." ”
But I knew in my heart that my luck was based on Li Hong's sacrifice. Every time her tired voice came over the phone, my heart ached.
"Xiaoxue, you just study Xi hard, don't worry about things at home. Li Hong's words are always full of encouragement and selflessness.
However, life doesn't always go the way you want. During the winter break of my sophomore year, I came home with shocking news. Li Hong has remarried, and her new husband, Zhang Wei, is a construction worker who looks rough but kind.
"Xiaoxue, this is Uncle Zhang, he is very good and takes good care of me. Li Hong tried to explain to me.
I looked at Zhang Wei with some complications in my heart. He looked a few years older than Li Hong, with a dark complexion and the appearance of a working person. I don't know how to accept this sudden change, but at the same time, I also know that Li Hong needs someone to take care of her, and she also has the right to pursue happiness.
"Xiaoxue, you study so hard, I can't always let you worry about things at home. Li Hong lowered her head, as if sorry for her decision.
My heart is full of mixed feelings. I know that as a daughter, I should be happy for her, but I have an indescribable sense of loss and uneasiness in my heart. Zhang Wei was very polite to me, but I always felt that there was an invisible wall between us.
As time went by, my university life got better, but when I think about my family, I always feel bad in my heart. I began to wonder if my so-called "happy life" in college was really worth it.
As the days passed, I began to gradually adjust to this new family structure. Although Zhang Wei is rough, he is really good to Li Hong. Their lives, though simple, are full of ordinary happiness. Whenever I go home, Zhang Wei always brings back some small handicrafts made by himself from the construction site to me, although rough, but full of heart.
In my junior year, an incident happened at school that made me think more deeply about life. My friend Xiaoli has an accident and her family is in trouble. I looked at her, who used to be lively and cheerful, but became dull overnight, and my heart was extremely sad. At that moment, I suddenly understood that no matter how happy a family is, things can happen to you. I began to think about what I could do for my family, for Li Hong and Zhang Wei.
During the summer vacation, I decided to stay at school and work part-time. I want to take some of the financial pressure off my family, even if it's just a little bit. Whenever I call Li Hong and tell her that I am working part-time, I can feel her relief and encouragement on the other end of the phone.
"Xiaoxue, Mom knows that you have always been very sensible, but you also have to take care of yourself. She always said that.
During my school days, I began to study harder and Xi, and at the same time, I actively participated in various social practice activities. I hope that through my own efforts, I can make my family's life better.
Finally, in my senior year, I received an offer to Xi from a well-known company. This is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for me. I knew that this could be the key to changing the fate of me and my family.
During the Xi period, I worked hard to learn Xi and performed well. My mentor often praised me as the most promising Xi he had ever met. During that time, I was almost too busy to go home, but whenever I had free time, I would always call Li Hong and Zhang Wei to share my life and work with them.
Finally, when I graduated from university, I received an official job offer from that company. I can't put into words how I felt, and I knew that it wasn't just my hard work that paid off, but also an opportunity to improve my family's life.
On the day of graduation, I returned home with a deep sense of gratitude. Li Hong and Zhang Wei prepared a sumptuous dinner for me, their faces filled with pride and joy.
"Xiaoxue, you finally graduated from college, and your mother is proud of you. Li Hong's eyes were filled with tears.
I hugged Li Hong, and my tears couldn't stop flowing. "Mom, you guys made me where I am today, and I will work hard to make our lives better. ”
At that moment, I felt happier and more fulfilled than I had ever been. I know that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will never forget this hard-won happiness.
After working, I started to have a stable income. I stopped letting Li Hong and Zhang Wei worry about my tuition fees and living expenses, and even started to provide them with some financial support. I could feel their heartfelt joy and relief.
I took all my first month's salary home, and Li Hong and Zhang Wei were very moved. "Xiaoxue, when you grow up, you will make money, and your mother can rest assured now. Li Hong said with emotion.
But I know that all this I did could not compare to Li Hong's sacrifice back then. I hope that through my own efforts, she and Zhang Wei's lives will become better and more comfortable.
I started planning to buy a house, hoping to give them a more comfortable and stable home. Although this goal is still far away, I believe that with hard work, everything is possible.
In the process, I gradually understood the meaning of family and the importance of family affection. I know that no matter where I go, home will always be my strongest backing. I also deeply feel that happiness is not only about material abundance, but also about the understanding and support between family members.
I decided that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will do my best to make my family live a better life, and this is my love for Li Hong and Zhang Wei
After working for a few years, my hard work has finally paid off. I gradually saved up a lot of savings, enough to buy a warm little house for Li Hong and Zhang Wei. This thought fills me with excitement and anticipation. I started secretly scouring through listings online, trying to pick out the right place.
I remember that day, I created a surprise for Li Hong and Zhang Wei. I took them to a new neighborhood and stopped in front of a brand new building. "What kind of place is this?" asked Li Hong curiously.
I took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Mom, Uncle Zhang, this is our new home. I've bought it and all the formalities have been completed. Looking at their shocked and excited expressions, I felt a sense of satisfaction beyond words.
Li Hong's tears swirled in his eyes, and Zhang Wei kept shaking his head, looking incredulous. At that moment, I felt a sense of accomplishment that I had never felt before. I know that this is not only a material reward, but also a reward for their years of hard work.
We visited our new home together. Although it is just a normal set of two bedrooms, the décor is warm and well-lit. I specially prepared a comfortable bedroom for Li Hong and Zhang Wei, and their wedding photos are still hanging on the wall.
"Xiaoxue, all of this is incredible. Li Hong held my hand and burst into tears.
That night, we had our first meal in our new home. Although the dishes were simple, it was the most delicious meal I've had in years. At that moment, I deeply felt the warmth and happiness of home.
As time went on, my career became more and more successful. I was promoted to department manager and my income was more stable. I started thinking about how I could better help the people around me, especially young people like me who were struggling.
I set up a small charity fund to help children whose families are in difficulty but who are eager to study. I know that education can change a person's destiny just as it has changed mine.
In the process, I met my colleague and good friend Li Ming. Li Ming is a passionate and compassionate person, and he is very supportive of my charity activities. Together, we have planned multiple fundraisers and helped many families.
Gradually, I found that I had a special affection for Li Ming. He is not only a work partner, but also an important person in my life. After some careful consideration, I plucked up the courage to express my feelings to Li Ming.
Luckily, Li Ming felt the same way about me. We started falling in love and planning our future together. I felt happier and more fulfilled than I had ever felt as if everything in my life had changed for the better.
At the same time, I haven't forgotten my family. I often take Li Ming home, eat and chat with Li Hong and Zhang Wei. Li Hong and Zhang Wei are very fond of Li Ming, and they think that Li Ming is an honest and responsible good boy.
Once, when I took Li Ming home, Li Hong suddenly said to me: "Xiaoxue, your mother is really happy that you have found a good boy like Li Ming." When you grow up and have a life of your own, your mother's heart is let go. ”
At that moment, tears welled up in my eyes. I know that no matter where I go, no matter what I've been through, home will always be my strongest support. I also promised myself that no matter what the future holds, I will take good care of Li Hong and Zhang Wei so that they can enjoy a happy old age.
Life is like a meandering river, constantly flowing. I'm looking forward to the future, but I also know that nothing good comes easily. I decided that no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, I will continue to move forward with gratitude, cherish every happiness in front of me.
As time went on, Li Ming's relationship with me became more and more stable, and we began to think about getting married. I took Li Ming to formally propose the marriage to Li Hong and Zhang Wei, and they were very happy and full of expectations and blessings for our future.
In the process of preparing for the wedding, I realized the importance of family. Li Hong and Zhang Wei actively participated in the preparation of every detail, and I was very touched by their enthusiasm and support. On the day of the wedding, the sky was exceptionally clear, as if even the weather was celebrating our big day.
At the wedding, Li Hong gave me a letter. In the letter, she expressed her love and blessings for me, as well as her hopes for the future. "Xiaoxue, mom hopes that you and Li Ming can be happy, just like your dad and I used to be. Remember, no matter what life throws at you, face it with courage and always believe in love. ”
As I read the letter, tears flowed uncontrollably. I am deeply grateful that I have such a warm home and a family that loves me so much.
The newlywed life began, and Li Ming and I moved into our newly purchased house. Our lives are full of freshness and joy. At the same time, I have not given up on my work and philanthropy. I think life is not only about family happiness, but also about our own pursuits and responsibilities.
As time went by, I noticed that Li Hong's health began to decline a little. Li Ming and I decided to let her and Zhang Wei move to our new house to live together so that we could take better care of them.
At the beginning, Li Hong and Zhang Wei were a little resistant, they didn't want to cause us trouble. But after our repeated insistence, they finally agreed. On the day of the move, I saw the long-lost smiles on the faces of Li Hong and Zhang Wei, and I knew it was the right decision.
In the days that followed, we lived together as a big family. Li Ming also respects and takes care of Li Hong and Zhang Wei very much, and their relationship is getting better and better. In the evenings, we used to sit in the living room and listen to Zhang Wei tell stories about his youth, or Li Hong to tell stories about her and my father. These heartwarming moments have become precious memories in my life.
Soon after, I received the unexpected news that my college friend Xiaoli had finally gotten through the storm and that she had found a good job. I am very happy and proud of her strength and hard work. I invited her to our home and share the joy with Li Hong, Zhang Wei and Li Ming.
That day, we had a merry dinner together. Xiaoli looked at our big family and said with emotion: "Xiaoxue, you are so lucky to have such a warm home and so many people who love you." ”
I nodded, deeply touched. "Yes, I'm lucky. But I also know that none of this comes easily. It is the result of love, responsibility, and giving. ”
As the years passed, I deeply experienced the ups and downs and changes of life. I've been through a lot from being a child with uncertainty about the future to now an adult who can bring happiness to my family. These experiences have taught me to cherish every love in front of me, whether it is from my family or from life.
I know that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as we love and support each other, nothing is insurmountable. My heart is filled with gratitude, grateful for the hardships and beauty that have come with every step of the way, which have made me who I am now, a person full of love.
A few years have passed, and Li Ming and I have lived a stable and fulfilling life. During this time, we also welcomed our first child, a lively and cute little boy. We named him "Xiaoyu", hoping that he could have infinite possibilities and a broad future like the universe.
Xiaoyu's birth brought more joy and laughter to our family. Li Hong and Zhang Wei love this little guy very much, and they revolve around him every day, with endless love and care. Watching them play with Xiaoyu, my heart was filled with warmth and happiness.
As Xiaoyu grew up, I began to think about how to educate him to become a caring and responsible person. I hope he can understand the importance of family and understand that happiness requires hard work and dedication.
Li Ming and I often take Xiaoyu to participate in charity activities, so that he can be exposed to and understand different life situations from an early age, and cultivate his sense of compassion and responsibility. Although Xiaoyu is young, he is very kind and always willing to help others.
In terms of work, I gradually put more energy into my charitable fund. I find that helping those in need brings me a great sense of satisfaction and happiness. Li Ming has always supported me, and he has tried his best to contribute in his own field.
With the passage of time, Li Hong and Zhang Wei's bodies gradually aged, but they still maintained an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. I know that having them by my side every day is a priceless gift. Li Ming and I did everything we could to make their old age comfortable and happy.
In the process, I learned many profound lessons about life, love, and family. I realized that happiness is not always obvious, and it requires constant effort and maintenance. Family is the most precious asset in life, it gives us the strength and courage to face life's challenges.
Year after year, our family continues to grow and grow with love and support. Xiaoyu also gradually grew up and became a smart and kind child. Watching him grow up healthy and happy, I feel extremely proud and satisfied.
Until one day, Li Hong died of illness, and the news plunged our entire family into deep grief. Li Hong is not only a stepmother for me, but also a mentor and friend in my life. Her passing made me deeply aware of the fragility and preciousness of life.
During those difficult days, I recalled all the love and support that Li Hong gave me. Her passing has made me even more determined to continue her spirit and face life's every challenge with love and courage.
We held a simple and solemn funeral for Li Hong. Many relatives and friends came to the funeral, and they were all touched by Li Hong's kindness and strength. I spoke at the funeral to express my gratitude and nostalgia for Li Hong.
"Mom, thank you for giving me so much love and support. I will continue your spirit of living with love and responsibility to help those in need. I said at the funeral.
Li Hong's death, although it brought us great grief, also made us cherish each other more. As a family, we are more closely united to face life's challenges together.
Over time, we gradually recover from our grief. We continue our lives, continue our philanthropy, and continue to educate Xiaoyu to be a caring and responsible person.
Life is always changing. In the face of every challenge, I will be reminded of Li Hong's words, "No matter what life brings you, face it bravely and always believe in love." ”
My experience over the years has given me a deep understanding of the meaning of this sentence. No matter what the future holds, I will continue to move forward with this faith. Because I know that only love and courage can enable us to overcome all difficulties and challenges in life and embrace every beautiful tomorrow.
