My name is Lin Xiaofen, and I am an ordinary housewife with an ordinary and stable life. That day, I received a call from my sister-in-law, Xiaohong, who cried and told me that her husband was unemployed and the family had nowhere to go. I didn't say a word, I asked them to move in with us. After all, there are empty rooms in the house, and besides, who can watch relatives live on the streets?
On the day Xiaohong's family of three moved in, I was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. My husband Xiaogang came back from work and saw that the living room was full of luggage, he frowned slightly, but still smiled and went to help move things. Xiaohong's husband was obviously a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and didn't say a word. Their son, Xiaole, a five-year-old boy, looked around curiously.
"Sister Xiaofen, thank you so much. As soon as Xiaohong entered the door, she cried and hugged me, "During this time, we are really cornered." ”
I patted her on the back, "It's okay, between relatives, it should be." ”
In the evening, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward. Xiao Gang tried to ease the atmosphere and chatted with Da Ming about work. Da Ming only replied a few words briefly, and seemed reluctant to talk. Xiaole kept asking this and that, so lively that people couldn't help laughing. I observed Xiaohong, who kept her head down to eat, as if she had something on her mind.
After dinner, I took Xiaohong to the balcony to chat. "How are you doing? Are you having any difficulties?" I tried to understand her situation.
Xiaohong sighed, "Hey, you also know that Da Ming used to make a lot of money, but he didn't know how to manage and loved gambling." Now that the company is laying off employees, he has become the first batch to be laid off. We can't afford to pay the rent, so we have to come to you. ”
My heart tightened, I didn't expect the situation to be so bad. "It's okay, stay here for a while and talk about it slowly. ”
Over the next few days, the atmosphere at home became more and more tense. Daming stayed in his room all day, not looking for a job, nor helping with household chores. Xiaole often loses his temper because of the change of environment. The most unbearable thing for me was Xiaohong, who started dictating to my house's rules.
"Sister Xiaofen, why is this faucet in your house so difficult to use, the place where I used to live was tap water, which is much more convenient. Xiaohong complained.
I tried to be patient, "This old point, but it can still be used, just get used to Xi it." ”
Xiaohong pouted dissatisfiedly, "Your conditions here are really much worse than I used to be. ”
I felt a little unhappy, but I endured it. After all, she's in a bad situation right now, and I can't say much.
However, as time passed, Xiaohong's words and actions became more and more unbearable. She often brought her friends home when I was not at home, making a loud noise and making a miasma in the house. I'm starting to feel a little regretful, and I don't know how long these days will last.
Once, when I came home, I found Xiaohong chatting loudly with a few friends in the living room, and even smoking cigarettes. I couldn't take it anymore and finally broke out.
"Xiaohong, can you pay attention, this is my home!" I snapped.
Xiaohong disagreed, "Oh, Sister Xiaofen, you are too careful, what's the big deal if friends come to sit at home." ”
I felt that my patience had reached the limit, "Xiaohong, I let you live in out of sympathy and affection, but you can't be so disproportionate!"
Xiaohong's face changed and she stood up, "What do you mean by that?"
"It's not to look down on, it's to hope that you can have basic respect. "I try to stay calm.
Xiaohong sneered, "Okay, since you say so, we won't live, anyway, the conditions here are so bad." ”
Watching her walk out of the room angrily, I felt both helpless and sad. I don't know if this was the best choice I made, but I knew that it was impossible to continue this way of living together.
After Xiaohong left, the atmosphere in the house seemed to be much more relaxed, but I felt a little lost in my heart. I can't help but wonder if I'm being too harsh? After all, they're in a difficult situation.
A few days later, when Xiao Gang came back in the evening, his face was solemn. "Xiaofen, I heard today that Xiaohong and the others are now renting a small house outside, and the conditions are very poor. ”
My heart ached, and although their behavior was unbearable for me, they were relatives after all, and I didn't want them to live in hardship. "Really, what about Xiaole?"
Xiao Gang sighed, "I don't know either, but we've done our best." ”
Just then, the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, I saw that it was my mother-in-law. As soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Why did Xiaohong and Daming move out?"
I told my mother-in-law what had happened. She was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go see them." ”
The next day, the mother-in-law came back, and her face was very bad. "Xiaofen, you haven't seen that house, it's so dilapidated. Xiaole was sick, and they didn't even have money to see a doctor. ”
My heart tightened, "What then?"
"I gave them some money. But I think we should find a way to help them. There was firmness in the mother-in-law's voice.
A few days later, Xiaohong called, crying in her voice. "Sister Xiaofen, I know I didn't do it right before, I ...... I really don't have anywhere to go. ”
I was silent for a while, but finally relented. "Okay, you guys come back again, but this time, we need some rules. ”
After Xiaohong's family moved back, I worked with Xiaogang and my mother-in-law to make some house rules. Daming must go to find a job, and Xiaohong is in charge of housework, and she is not allowed to bring outsiders home at night. Although Xiaohong and Daming were a little unhappy, they finally agreed.
A few weeks later, Daming found a temporary job, and although the income was not high, it was finally a start. The atmosphere at home is gradually improving. Xiaohong started to take the initiative to do housework and sometimes help me with things.
One afternoon, Xiaohong came back with Xiaole with a smile on her face. "Sister Xiaofen, Xiaole performed very well in the kindergarten today, and the teacher praised him. ”
I looked at Xiaole's innocent smile, and there was an indescribable warmth in my heart. "Really, Xiaole, Auntie will buy you ice cream to eat. ”
Xiaole clapped his hands happily, "Yay!"
During this time, a small supermarket opened downstairs in our house, and I often went shopping. The owner is a warm-hearted woman and we had a good conversation. One day, she suddenly proposed: "Xiaofen, you might as well come to me to help." You're usually idle anyway. ”
I thought about it and thought it was a good idea. "Okay, I'll give it a try. ”
I started helping out at the supermarket and my life became full. Chatting with the neighbors who come to the supermarket every day, time flies. Seeing that I was so busy, Xiaohong took the initiative to take on more responsibilities at home.
Slowly, the atmosphere of our home became more and more harmonious. Daming's job gradually stabilized, and he began to plan to find a better job. Xiaole also made a lot of friends in kindergarten and became more and more cheerful.
However, just then, an unexpected thing happened. My mother-in-law suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, and her condition was quite serious. Our whole family was very worried. Xiaohong and Da Ming were also very anxious, and they offered to help take care of their mother-in-law.
In the hospital, we take turns taking care of my mother-in-law. Seeing Xiaohong and Daming doing their best, I feel that all the previous conflicts don't seem to be so important. One night, Xiaohong sat on the edge of her mother-in-law's bed and whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you before." ”
The mother-in-law held her hand, "Children, between family members, what is there to worry about." ”
After a few weeks of treatment, my mother-in-law's condition improved. We all breathed a sigh of relief. The experience of this time has brought our whole family closer together.
However, life is always full of surprises. Just when we thought everything was getting better, Daming's company suddenly went out of business. He lost his job again, this time more depressed than the last time. I can see that
Out of his heart was heavy. At night, he sat on the sofa in the living room, without saying a word, and his eyes revealed despair.
Xiaohong looked at Da Ming, and her eyes were also full of worry. "Da Ming, don't be too sad, there will always be a way. ”
Da Ming shook his head, his voice hoarse, "Why am I so unlucky? Everything is getting better, how can I ...... again?"
Xiao Gang and I glanced at each other, and we could feel Daming's helplessness. Xiao Gang patted Da Ming's shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, no one can expect this kind of thing." Let's figure it out together. ”
The next day, I met an old classmate in the supermarket who was now working as a personnel manager for a company. During the chat, I mentioned Daming's situation. She thought for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Our company is just recruiting people recently, although it is not a big position, but it is better than nothing." Why don't you let him try?"
I was so excited that I almost jumped. "Really? That's great!"
I hurried home and told Daming the news. Da Ming was a little unconvinced at first, but with our encouragement, he decided to give it a try.
A few days later, Daming went to the interview. Although he seemed a little nervous, he finally passed without a hitch. He got the job, and although the pay was not high, it was a new beginning for him.
Da Ming's mood improved significantly, and he began to regain his self-confidence. Xiaohong saw the change in her husband, and also let go of the big stone in her heart. The atmosphere at home is relaxed again.
Just as our family was gradually returning to normal, my mother-in-law's condition changed again. The doctor said she needed to have an operation and it was expensive. Our whole family is worried about the news.
Xiao Gang and I discussed how to raise the cost of the surgery. Da Ming and Xiao Hong also said that they would contribute. "Sister Xiaofen, let's help this time. After all, Mom is very good to us. ”
Thanks to the joint efforts of everyone, we were able to raise the cost of the surgery. The surgery was very successful and my mother-in-law recovered quickly. She looked at us, her eyes full of gratitude, "With such a good child and daughter-in-law, my life is really worth it." ”
Time passed slowly, and life gradually returned to peace. Daming's work is getting better and better, and he even gets the opportunity to be promoted. Xiaohong also began to consider finding a part-time job to increase some income for the family.
One evening, our family sat around the dinner table, chatting while eating. Xiaole happily ate her mother's dishes next to her, laughing happily from time to time.
Xiao Gang raised his glass, "Cheers to our big family!"
We clinked glasses, laughter and conversation blended into one, full of warmth and happiness. In this warm atmosphere, the doorbell suddenly rang.
I went to open the door, only to see an unexpected person - my distant cousin Xiaoli, who was standing in the door with tears in her eyes. "Sister Xiaofen, I'...... I have nowhere to go. ”
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and beckoned her in. "It's okay, there's still room in the house. ”
After dinner, I took Xiaoli to sit on the balcony. "What's going on?" I asked gently.
Xiaoli choked up and told her story. She broke up with her boyfriend, lost her job again, and couldn't bear such a blow for a while.
I patted her gently on the back, "It's okay, you can stay here for a while and take your time." ”
At that moment, I suddenly realized that no matter how many twists and turns and challenges life has, home is always a place where people can let go of their burdens and heal their souls. I looked at this relative around me who was in need, and my heart was filled with determination and love.
Home is always a harbor that we need to maintain and cherish. No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we work together, we can always find a solution. I believe that no matter what happens in the future, we as a big family can face it together and tide over it together.
After Xiaoli moved in, the family was a little more angry. Although she had just experienced a setback, with our encouragement and support, she quickly returned to normal. I have found that the power of family is really great and allows people to find support in difficult situations.
A few days later, Xiao Gang proposed, "Xiaofen, how about we open a small family hotel with empty rooms? ”
I think that's a good idea. We started preparing, renovating the room, buying the necessary furniture and bedding. Xiaoli is also actively involved, which she says allows her to forget her troubles for a while.
The preparations lasted a few weeks and our small inn finally opened for business. The first few days weren't busy, but slowly, as word of mouth spread, we received more and more guests.
One night, a young woman came to our house with a little girl. She looked very tired, with unspeakable sadness in her eyes. I gave them a warm welcome and arranged a room for them.
Over dinner, she told us her story. It turned out that her husband had died of illness not long ago, leaving her and her daughter behind. In order to make a living, she had to run around with her daughter. Listening to her story, we all felt very sad.
Xiao Gang offered to help her find a job. She burst into tears when she heard this, "Really? There are really not many kind-hearted people like this." ”
A few days later, with Xiaogang's help, she found a job at a nearby company. We also helped her connect with a nearby kindergarten to arrange childcare for her daughter.
In this way, our home has become not only a warm hotel, but also a platform to help others. Everyone who comes to our home can feel the warmth and help of home.
As time passed, Xiaoli gradually came out of the shadow of broken love. She found a job she loved and started a new life. Watching her get back on her feet, we were all happy for her.
In the process of running a family hotel, we also encountered some difficulties and challenges. Sometimes, the requests of our guests can make us feel stressful, but we always persevere, constantly improving and adjusting.
On one occasion, a guest had high demands on the hygiene standard of the room. At first, we were a little uncomfortable, but then we realized that this was a good opportunity to improve the quality of our services. As a result, we started paying more attention to detail and making sure every corner was clean and tidy.
Our efforts paid off. Our guests are getting better and better, and some of them have even become regular customers. They are not only guests who come to stay, but also like friends from afar.
In this process, I deeply realized that no matter what you do, you need to work hard and keep learning Xi. The family hotel not only brought us financial help, but also taught us how to get along better with people and how to find opportunities in difficulties.
One spring a year later, our family hosted a small party with all the regulars and friends invited. In the yard, we set up tables and chairs and prepared hearty food. Everyone sat around and shared their stories and joys.
Looking at all this, my heart is filled with gratitude and satisfaction. Our home is not only our own safe haven, but also a warm place for others. Through these experiences, we learn more about living, loving, and helping others.
Towards the end of the party, Xiaohong and Daming told us the good news: they were ready to buy a house. Daming's job is stable, his income has increased, and he is finally able to start a new life of his own.
We are happy for them, but we are also a little reluctant. But we know that everyone needs to have their own space and life, and this is an important step in their growth.
After the party, I sat on the balcony and looked at the stars in the night sky, filled with peace and gratitude. I am thankful that life has given me the opportunity to help others and enrich my own life at the same time.
Life can be challenging at times, but as long as we have love and the support of our families, we can overcome all difficulties. This big family, this little hostel, already
It has become a place where we grow and Xi together. Every guest who walks through the door, every experience, is like a precious lesson that life has given us.
As Xiaohong and Daming moved out, the family returned to its former tranquility. However, this tranquility is not empty, but full of warmth and memories of past experiences.
Xiaole has also grown up, and he has become more sensible and intelligent. Looking at what he has achieved in kindergarten, we are all incredibly proud. He would often entertain everyone by performing the songs and dances he had learned in kindergarten in front of guests.
The pace of life has slowed down, but our hotel business is getting better and better. I started thinking about how I could expand our services to provide a more comfortable and convenient experience for our guests.
One day, I met a friend who was gardening. She suggested that I arrange some flowers and plants in the yard to create a small garden where guests can relax. I think that's a very good idea. So, we started the renovation of the yard.
With our joint efforts, the yard quickly turned into a beautiful little garden. There are a variety of flowers and greenery, as well as some comfortable seats and rocking chairs. Guests can enjoy the tranquility here, read a book, or just sit quietly and enjoy the beauty of the garden.
The garden became a highlight of our hostel. Many guests are attracted by the beauty of this place and come to experience it specifically. We even started hosting smaller events such as afternoon teas, small concerts, etc.
In the process, I found myself becoming more and more interested in gardening and floristry. I started taking some classes to learn how Xi better take care of this little garden. My gardening skills have gradually improved, and the flowers in my garden are blooming more and more beautifully.
Not only does a family hotel bring us material income, but more importantly, it enriches our spiritual life. Every guest brings us a new story and experience. We are constantly learning and Xi and growing through our communication with them.
In the midst of our busy and fulfilling days, Xiaoli told us the good news: she had met a wonderful man and they decided to get married. Looking at Xiaoli's happy smile, we are all happy for her.
On the day of the wedding, our hotel became the venue for the wedding. Our yard was very beautifully decorated with flowers and streamers everywhere. Guests were fascinated by the beauty of the place and praised it.
After the wedding, Xiaoli and her husband moved to a new home together. While we will miss her, we know that she is starting a new life of her own and we are happy for her.
Just as we were happy about Xiaoli's new life, we received another message. Our hostel was voted "Best Family Hotel" by a travel magazine. This news was a huge surprise for us.
We started getting more bookings and guests from all over wanted to experience our hostel. While that meant more work, we were all very excited and satisfied.
I have learned a lot by running this family hotel. I learned how to run a small business, how to communicate with people, and how to create a great environment. More importantly, I learned how to help others with my heart and how to find joy in life.
Life is always full of surprises and challenges. Every difficulty is an opportunity to grow, and every challenge is an opportunity for us to learn Xi. Our home, our hotel, has become an integral part of our lives.
We continue to run our little inn and continue to welcome every guest. No matter what the future holds, I know that as long as we are together as a family, nothing is impossible. We will continue to meet every challenge in life with love and passion, and create more beautiful memories with our hearts.
