My name is Li Xiaodong, and I am an ordinary employee of an IT company, and my life is calm and orderly. My wife, Xiaoya, is an English teacher in a middle school, and we have a 7-year-old son, Xiaohao. Our life, although not luxurious, is happy and satisfying enough.
On that day, my father-in-law, who is Xiaoya's father, suddenly called and said that an old friend of his, Director Li, was coming to our city for a month to inspect and hoped that we could receive it. My father-in-law said earnestly on the phone that Director Li had been kind to him before, but now that he is retired, this time he came for a private visit, and he is not Xi to staying in a hotel. Although I was a little reluctant, I had to agree to it for the sake of my father-in-law's face.
On the day Director Li arrived, Xiaoya and I took leave to greet us at home. He was dressed in a crisp suit and looked personable, but there was an imperceptible cunning in his eyes. I sighed in my heart, knowing that life might not be too peaceful this month.
On the first night, at the dinner table, Director Li talked eloquently, mostly about his past work and experience. Xiaoya and I interjected from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Xiao Hao stared at Director Li curiously, occasionally asking some immature questions. Director Li looked at Xiao Hao, replied with a smile, and then began his tirade again.
But as time went on, Director Lee's time at our house began to reveal some problems. He pointed fingers at things at home, and even began to make some "suggestions" to Xiaoya on work and life, which made Xiaoya and me feel very uncomfortable. To make matters worse, he often came home late, sometimes even with the smell of alcohol, and our family was a very regular family, and this sudden change made it difficult for us to adapt.
One night, I came home from overtime and found Director Li and Xiaoya sitting in the living room, talking and laughing. I was just about to enter the door when I suddenly heard Director Li say, "Xiaodong, he doesn't understand you, you need someone who knows how to appreciate you better." I froze in place, an inexplicable anger welling up in my heart.
The next day, I talked to Xiaoya and expressed my dissatisfaction with Director Li's behavior. Xiaoya looked a little embarrassed, she said that Director Li is an old friend of her father after all, and we can't go too far. I felt powerless and disappointed, but I also knew that I couldn't be too tough on my father-in-law's face.
As the days passed, Director Li's presence in our home became stronger and stronger. He began to express his opinions on my work, and even went out to play with Xiaoya and Xiaohao when I was not at home. Every time I raised an objection, he always shied away in a joking tone, but I could sense that there was a threat hidden in his words that could not be ignored.
Director Li began to intervene in our family life, and even sometimes "came forward to solve the problem" when Xiaoya and I had a dispute, but he did it
It always made me feel like he was taking the opportunity to stir up a wedge between us as a couple. Whenever this happens, I silently remind myself in my heart not to be swayed by his methods.
However, things started to go out of my control. One night, I came home from work early, only to find that my home was unusually quiet. I walked into the living room lightly and found Xiaoya and Director Li sitting on the sofa, seemingly having a serious conversation. I decided not to disturb them and turned back to my study.
Not long after, Xiaoya entered the study with a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness on her face. I asked her what she had talked about with Director Li, and Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, then said, "Director Li offered to help me transfer to a better school, but I think the current job is already very good." "My heart sank, but I tried to keep my composure and told her that as long as she was happy, it was fine.
A few days later, Mr. Li offered to take our family to a nearby mountainous area. Although I was a little resistant in my heart, considering that Xiao Hao hadn't gone out to play for a long time, I still agreed. On that day, our family of three and Director Li drove to the mountains. On the way, Director Li kept telling about his past experiences and observations, and Xiao Hao listened to them with relish, but I felt more and more bored.
The scenery in the mountains is pleasant, and the air is fresh. We walked in the mountains and forests, and Xiao Hao ran in front excitedly. Xiaoya and Director Li walked together and seemed to be chatting very speculatively. I deliberately fell behind, but I was wondering whether all this was a coincidence or Director Li did it on purpose.
In the evening, we had dinner at a small restaurant in the mountains. At the dinner table, Director Li suddenly offered to buy Xiao Hao the latest game console as his "travel souvenir". Xiao Hao jumped up excitedly, but I felt inappropriate. I tried to decline, but Mr. Lee insisted that it was just a small matter. Xiaoya glanced at me, and I could only reluctantly agree.
After returning home, Xiaoya and I had an argument about it. I told her that I didn't like Director Li's way of using money and material things to win people over, especially to Xiaohao. Xiaoya said that this is just a trivial matter, and there is no need to be too sensitive. Our argument went on for a while and finally ended with me compromising.
One weekend a few days later, I took Xiaohao to the park to play, leaving Xiaoya and Director Li at home. When Xiao Hao and I were happily playing in the park, I suddenly received a call from Xiao Ya, and her voice was full of tears. I was shocked, and hurriedly rushed home with Xiao Hao.
When I got home, I saw Xiaoya sitting on the sofa in the living room, with tears in her eyes. Director Li stood aside with a hint of embarrassment on his face. Xiaoya cried and told me that Director Li confessed to her, saying that these days
He was deeply attracted to her temperament and talent, and hoped that she would consider starting a relationship with him. After I heard this, anger rushed to my heart, and I looked directly at Director Li, and was furious: "How can you talk to my wife like this? You are a guest, we respect you, but you do such a thing!"
Director Li's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, and he said lightly: "Xiaodong, I just expressed my true feelings, and I didn't mean anything disrespectful. You don't have to be so excited. ”
I felt that I could not accept this high-sounding excuse, and I turned to Xiaoya and said, "We can't tolerate him in our house anymore, he must leave immediately." Xiaoya nodded, tears still flowing.
I said to Director Li, "Please leave our house now, you are not welcome." Director Li glanced at me, then at Xiaoya, didn't say anything, picked up his luggage, and left our home.
After Director Li left, the atmosphere in the house became extremely heavy. Xiaoya looked very remorseful and remorseful, and I didn't know how to comfort her. That night, we barely talked, each lying in bed with a lot of thoughts.
The next day, when I went to work, I was in a very heavy mood. In the office, I couldn't concentrate on my work, and my mind was full of what had happened yesterday. During the lunch break, I received a call from my father-in-law. He asked me why I had let Director Li leave, and I explained to him as calmly as I could. The father-in-law was silent for a while, and then said, "Xiaodong, I understand you, you did the right thing. I'll talk to him. ”
That afternoon, I came home from work early. When I got home, I found Xiaoya sitting in the living room in a daze. I sat next to her and hugged her gently. The two of us just sat quietly, didn't speak, just felt each other's presence.
In the evening, we decided to tidy up our homes together and pack up the things left behind by Director Li. As we tidied up in the bedroom, Xiaoya suddenly remembered an envelope that Director Li had left behind when he left, and he said it was for me. I opened the envelope and inside was a check and a note. The check said 20,000 yuan, and the note read a few words: "Thank you for the hospitality, remember to look at the bedside table." ”
Xiaoya and I glanced at each other, walked to the bedside table in confusion, and opened the drawer. There was a small box inside, and when I opened it, it was a delicate watch. I was stunned, and I didn't understand why Director Li left these things.
Xiaoya looked at her watch and whispered, "Does he want to make up for the damage he caused in this way?" I shook my head and put the watch and check back in the box: "No matter what his intentions are, we can't ask for these things." ”
That night, Xiaoya and I had a long talk. We talked about trust, respect, and the future of our family. Although this incident has brought us no small blow, we are all aware that only
With each other's support and strong faith, we can face any challenge in life together.
Over the next few days, Xiaoya and I struggled to regain the calm of our daily lives. Xiao Hao also seemed to feel the change in the atmosphere at home, he became more clingy, often pulling me or Xiaoya to tell stories. In the process, our family bond has become even closer.
My father-in-law also called several times during that time, and each time he asked about our situation and apologized to us. He told us that he had spoken to Director Lee, who expressed regret for his actions and promised not to bother us again.
However, the legacy of Director Lee's legacy did not dissipate so easily. Xiaoya's mood is still good and bad, and she often falls into deep thought. I know that although Director Li's departure has solved the superficial problem, his words and deeds have left a shadow in Xiaoya's heart.
One night, I suggested that we go out for dinner as a family for a change of scenery. Xiaoya hesitated slightly, but finally agreed. We chose a warm restaurant where we wanted to forget about it for a while.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed, with soft music wafting in the air. We ordered a few of our favorite dishes, and Xiao Hao also seemed very excited. At the dinner table, we chatted about some light-hearted topics, and gradually, Xiaoya's face also showed a long-lost smile.
After eating, we walked home. At night, the streets are quiet and peaceful, and the stars twinkle with a gentle glow. We held hands and walked slowly, without speaking, but our hearts were closely connected.
After returning home, Xiaoya suddenly said to me: "Xiaodong, I'm sorry, I have lost myself a little during this time. But now I know that no matter what happens, as long as we're together, it's enough. I hugged her tightly, and a warm current welled up in my heart.
A few days later, I came home from work and found Xiaoya busy in the kitchen. She told me that tonight she wanted to cook a meal herself and celebrate new beginnings for our family. At dinner, our family of three sat around the table and enjoyed the food carefully prepared by Xiaoya. Xiao Hao's laughter filled the room, and our laughter echoed with it.
After the meal, Xiaoya and I sat on the balcony and looked at the stars in the night sky. Xiaoya leaned on my shoulder as we talked about our plans and dreams for the future. At that moment, I felt peace and happiness that I had never felt before.
After a few weeks, everything was finally back to normal. At work, I got a chance to get promoted, which was a huge boost for me. Xiaoya also began to prepare for her English teaching professional exam, and her enthusiasm and focus returned to work.
Our lives are back on track, and that passage
It has also become a valuable experience for us. It teaches us how to better communicate and support each other in the face of adversity and challenges. We have learned to be stronger and more united in the storms of life.
As time passed, Xiaoya's mood gradually returned to calm. She began to be more actively involved in school activities and took the initiative to take on some extracurricular teaching projects. I looked at her energetic and enthusiastic appearance, and my heart was filled with pride and gratitude.
Xiao Hao has also grown a lot during this time. He has become more sensible and considerate, often helping his classmates in school, and his grades have improved significantly. Whenever I see his innocent smile, I feel that all the hard work is worth it.
The atmosphere in our family is becoming more and more harmonious. On weekends, we often go to the park, the cinema, or some family gatherings together. These simple and happy moments make us cherish each other's company even more.
After this experience, Xiaoya and I also began to pay more attention to the maintenance of each other's feelings. After your child falls asleep, we take some time to chat and share our thoughts and feelings. These seemingly ordinary exchanges have invisibly deepened the understanding and trust between us.
I also began to try to give Xiaoya more surprises and care. Sometimes it's a bouquet of flowers, sometimes it's a well-prepared dinner, or it's going to see her favorite movie together. Xiaoya's smile and grateful eyes made me deeply feel that the small details in life are often the most beautiful embodiment of love.
We also cherish our relationships with family and friends. After experiencing the incident of Director Lee, we realized that every relationship in life is precious and needs to be cared for and cherished.
In addition, we learned how to deal with external distractions and stress. Whether it is a challenge at work or a small friction in life, we are able to face and solve it more calmly and rationally. This maturity and steadiness make our lives more fulfilling and balanced.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Hao has already entered elementary school. He became more and more independent, and had his own views and plans for his studies, Xi and life. Looking at his serious and hard-working appearance, Xiaoya and I felt extremely gratified.
The life of our family of three, although ordinary, is full of love and warmth. Every morning when I wake up and see the familiar and kind faces of Xiaoya and Xiaohao, I feel extremely happy and satisfied.
We know that there is still a long way to go, and there are still many unknowns and challenges waiting for us. But as long as we believe in each other and support each other, there is nothing we cannot overcome. Our family is our strongest backing and the most solid support for us in the face of all difficulties.
