My name is Uncle Zhang, and I am 65 years old this year. I am an ordinary retired worker living in the county seat, my wife has passed away due to illness a long time ago, and my only son is also working in other places, so I don't have time to come back to see me. All these years I lived alone, and my life was simple and repetitive.
One day two years ago, I went to the park for a morning exercise as usual. The park was already full of old people dancing and chatting. Just as I was about to start my morning exercise, a girl came over, looking to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slightly childish face, wearing patched clothes, and her hair was a little messy. She walked up to me and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle, can I go home with you?" ”
I was a little surprised, and looked her up and down, "Who are you, why do you want to go home with me?"
I looked at her thin body and dirty clothes, and I couldn't help but feel some pity in my heart, so I asked her, "What about your parents? Why did they come to the county to work?"
Li Sisi said: "My hometown is very poor, my parents have passed away, and I came here alone to work to earn money to support myself. I gave all the money to the landlord for renting the house, and he still kicked me out. Uncle, you just take me in, I really have nowhere to go!"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, I softened my heart and agreed, saying, "Okay, you can go home with me, and I will cook some food at noon and you can eat together." ”
Li Sisi said happily: "Thank you, uncle! I will definitely help you with housework, you can do laundry and cooking!"
I took her home and brought her a bowl of hot white rice. She devoured it, a look of gratitude on her face. After eating, she took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and cleaned the room again, which showed that she was a hardworking child.
I said, "Son, your skills are good! I see that you are quite capable, so live with me, and my house is quite empty when I live alone in such a big house." How about you help me with the housework, and I take care of the food and shelter?"
Li Sisi said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll live here, I will help my uncle with housework." ”
Since that day, Li Sisi has lived in mine
Home. During the day, I would go to the park to play chess and chat with my friends, and Li Sisi would take care of the housework at home and prepare hot meals for me to come home every day. In the evening we would eat together and chat. I would tell her stories about my childhood, and she would tell me about her life back home.
And just like that, the days went by. Li Sisi has become an indispensable part of my life. I watched her grow from a skinny little girl to a slender, fair-skinned girl. She is no longer as shy as she used to be, and when she talks to me, she looks me in the eye and makes jokes. I also became more and more dependent on her, and she was like a reliable companion who made me feel no longer lonely as an old man.
One evening we had dinner as usual and sat on the swing in the yard chatting. Li Sisi leaned on my shoulder, her body exuded a faint body fragrance, and my heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.
"Uncle, I really appreciate you taking me in. Li Sisi said suddenly.
I laughed and said, "Silly boy, it should be." I live in such a big house alone, and it's lively with you. ”
"Uncle, will you let me live here all the time?" Li Sisi looked up at me, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course, you live here, this is your home. I said softly.
Li Sisi smiled happily, she leaned over and kissed me on the face: "Thank you, uncle!"
My heart was beating faster again, and my face was a little hot. Li Sisi leaned on my arms like this, and neither of them spoke, just quietly looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Li Sisi has lived with me for three years. In the past three years, our relationship has been both teacher and friend, and I have come to love her as if she were my own granddaughter. Li Sisi has also matured a lot, and she is already a beautiful and smart girl.
One night, Li Sisi came to my room looking nervous. I asked her with concern, "Sisi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Sisi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I, I'm pregnant." ”
My eyes widened in surprise: "What did you say, pregnant, who is the father of the child?"
I was a little puzzled for a moment: "What, my child, we haven't had any relationship with each other." ”
I try to think back to that day, and I do have a vague impression. see
Li Sisi cried like this, and my heart immediately softened. I walked over and hugged her and comforted her softly, "Child, I don't blame you, it's me who is not good, I got drunk and did something wrong." Now that you're pregnant with my child, I'll be responsible for you. ”
Li Sisi looked up at me and said with tears in his eyes: "Then do you mean that you want me to give birth to the child?"
I nodded and wiped away her tears: "Yes, you can give birth to the baby." I will be responsible for you and the child, and will give the child a complete home. ”
"Really, then I'll give birth to this child!" Li Sisi smiled happily, hugged me and said, "Thank you, uncle!"
I also smiled and touched her head: "Okay, with children, we are a family." This kid will call me grandpa from now on!"
Sure enough, a few months later, Li Sisi successfully gave birth to a lovely baby boy. I was so happy that I held him in my arms and didn't want to let go. I named my child Zhang Xiaoming and named it after my last name. Li Sisi is also recovering well, and still helps me with housework and takes care of the children.
However, the good times were short-lived. When Zhang Xiaoming turned one year old, I began to feel the changes and pressures of life. The child kept crying, Li Sisi's attention was on the child, and I, an old man, felt a little left out. Combined with the expenses of my children, my pension is not enough.
Li Sisi smiled bitterly: "Uncle, he is still young, and I am trying to take care of him." Can you be considerate? ”
"Be considerate and considerate, I'm going crazy with you!" I said impatiently.
Since then, Li Sisi and I have often quarreled over the matter of children. I sometimes regret my decision, feeling irritated that I should have been quiet in my old age, but now I have to bear such a burden. I started going to the park more often and didn't want to stay at home and face it all.
One day, Li Sisi and I had another big quarrel over Zhang Xiaoming's matter. I really couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled at Li Sisi: "If it weren't for you, how could I be so tired in my old age?
Looking at her pleading,
My heart softened again. I know that it has not been easy for Li Sisi over the years, it has been hard to raise children alone, and I have to face my temper from time to time.
I walked over and hugged her and whispered, "Sisi, I'm sorry, it's me who is bad." I shouldn't have lost my temper with you, and I shouldn't have said I regretted taking you in. In fact, I am very grateful to you for taking care of me over the years, but sometimes I feel too much pressure and say something that hurts your heart on the spur of the moment. Don't take it to heart. ”
Li Sisi wiped her tears and said, "Uncle, I understand you, this is indeed a big change for you. I will work harder to take care of you and Xiao Ming so that you have less trouble. ”
I nodded: "Let's get used to this kind of life slowly, and stop arguing about these little things." We are all family. ”
"Well, we're family. Li Sisi also nodded and smiled.
Since then, I've struggled to adapt to this family life. I learned to help Li Sisi share some of the childcare work and tease Xiao Ming. Sometimes when I go out for a walk, I will buy some small toys and bring them back to him. I try my best to control my temper, and when I encounter unhappy things, I will communicate with Li Sisi, and I will no longer get angry at will. Li Sisi has also become more mature, will understand my feelings, and often cook some dishes that I like to eat.
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaoming was five years old. Looking at his innocent smiling face, my heart was also full of joy. I would tell him old stories, teach him to read, and take him everywhere to play. He would call me "grandpa" and ask me to hug me. I feel a lot younger.
One day, I suddenly remembered the scene when I first met Li Sisi ten years ago. I can't help but sigh that ten years have passed, and Li Sisi, who was still a thin girl at that time, is now a beautiful and intelligent young woman. Although there were misunderstandings and quarrels in the middle, I don't regret taking her in the first place. Instead, I would like to thank her for bringing meaning and joy to my life.
That night, our family of three sat around the table to eat. Zhang Xiaoming happily talked about the interesting things that happened in the kindergarten, and Li Sisi smiled and helped him pick up the vegetables. I looked at them and couldn't help but sigh: "Sisi, we have been living together for ten years. Time flies so fast, Xiao Ming is five years old. Taking you in the first place was the best decision I've ever made. ”
Li Sisi smiled and said, "I am also very grateful to your uncle." If you hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't even have a place to live. I will always remember your kindness. ”
"We
It's a family. I said with satisfaction.
"Family!" Zhang Xiaoming repeated happily.
"Yes, we will always be together. Li Sisi said, his eyes full of happiness.
From that day on, my mindset also became more sunny and cheerful. I no longer feel guilty about the misunderstanding I once had, but I cherish the life in front of me. I will do my best to take care of Li Sisi and Zhang Xiaoming and live with them.
On weekends, I would take Zhang Xiaoming to the park to play, let him climb and slide, and have fun. I would buy him ice cream, and looking at his innocent smiling face, I could only feel a sense of happiness in my heart.
Li Sisi also prepares three meals a day, and often cooks some hometown dishes that I like to eat. After dinner, we would chat and look at the stars together in the yard, just like we did ten years ago.
"Uncle, I'm so happy, we're like a real home. Li Sisi leaned on my shoulder and said.
"Yes, this is our home. I whispered, my heart full of gratitude.
"I will always be with you and Xiao Ming. Li Sisi said seriously.
"Silly boy, I will always be with your mother and son. I laughed and rubbed her head.
"Thank you, sir. I'm really happy. Li Sisi's eyes were full of tears.
I also deeply feel that because of taking in Li Sisi, my life has become complete and meaningful. I am no longer a lonely old man, but a happy father and grandfather.
I will spend the rest of my life with this lovely home. watched Zhang Xiaoming grow up, and then hugged his grandson. Grow old slowly with Li Sisi and spend your old age in the sunshine and the fragrance of flowers.
I am grateful to God for letting me meet Li Sisi, and I am also grateful to Li Sisi for giving me the companionship and happiness of the past ten years. Although there were misunderstandings in between, those are all in the past. There are countless decades ahead of us, and I look forward to seeing them together.
In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed. Zhang Xiaoming is ten years old and has become a lively and cute little boy. I'm also 70 years old, with gray hair and a slightly slower walk, but my heart is still full of zest for life.
One day, Zhang Xiaoming came home from school and said to me happily: "Grandpa, the school organized us to visit the zoo, can you accompany me?"
I smiled and patted his head: "Of course you can, grandpa will accompany you to see the elephant!"
"Grandpa, thank you for accompanying me to the zoo, I had so much fun!" Zhang Xiaoming said happily.
"No thanks, Grandpa had a great time. I laughed.
That night, Li Sisi cooked a sumptuous table of good dishes and bought my favorite fish.
"Why are you so happy today?" I asked with a smile.
"This is a celebration of how much fun you had with Xiao Ming!" Li Sisi also smiled, "You look much younger than before." ”
"Yes, I feel much younger with Xiao Ming. I said happily, "If you hadn't come to my house back then, my old age would not have been so fulfilling and happy." ”
"I'm also very grateful to your uncle. Li Sisi's eyes flashed with tears, "You gave me and Xiao Ming a home." ”
I feel that my life has been completed, and every bit of being with Li Sisi and Zhang Xiaoming is worth recalling.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaoming went to junior high school and became a little more silent. One day when he came home from school, he had a very ugly face.
“怎么了小明?” 李思思关切地问。
Li Sisi and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the distress in each other's eyes.
"Xiao Ming, don't listen to their nonsense. I walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "We are all family, and of course mom is your own mom." ”
"Silly boy, the surname doesn't mean anything, the important thing is the feelings. I patiently explained.
Li Sisi also hugged Zhang Xiaoming and said, "Xiaoming, you will always be my flesh and blood." No matter what happens, you are our good son. ”
Zhang Xiaoming finally smiled and hugged Li Sisi hard. I watched their mother and son embracing each other, and the satisfaction in my heart came spontaneously.
I know that no matter what happens in the future, we will always be together. The love of a family can overcome any difficulty.
