My name is Li Xiaofang, I am 32 years old this year, I work as a designer in a foreign company, and I live a petty bourgeois life. My relationship with my mother, Zhang Yulan, has never been very good, and she always thinks that I am too selfish and not filial enough. Just last week, I received a phone call from my mom crying that my dad had a stroke and was being treated in the hospital. I was at a loss, my father is the pillar of our family, if there are three long and two short, our family will really be finished. I rushed to the hospital and was very sad to see my mother waiting outside the ward with tears on her face. "Mom, how's Daddy doing? What did the doctor say?" I asked anxiously. "The doctor said that the operation was going to be performed, and the cost was very high, and our family couldn't afford it!" Mom cried and said, "Xiaofang, can you sell your house and use the money to save your father?" I was shocked: "What? sell my house, and where will I live in the future?" Our family is so poor now, and your brother is outside, so you are the only one who has a house to sell. You should save your father's life!" Mom pleaded. "I bought my house myself, why should I sell it to save my father?" I was a little angry, "Doesn't my brother also have a house, why don't you ask him to sell it?" Your brother just bought a house and has a lot of mortgages that haven't been paid off. Only if your house is worth something, can you save your dad!" Mom said with red eyes. I was still trying to argue, and that's when the doctor came out. I quickly asked my dad about his condition, and the doctor said that the operation must be done as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be serious. I anxiously asked how much the surgery would cost, and the doctor said that it would cost about 100,000 yuan. I felt very uncomfortable, the house I had worked so hard to buy was gone, what should I do with my future? But when I thought of my father's dying life, I couldn't bear to watch him leave like this. Seeing that I was hesitant, my mother knelt down in front of me with red eyes, crying out and begging me to save my father. I looked at her with tears all over her face, and I felt very uncomfortable. I picked up my mother, but I decided to treat my father first, and talk about the house later. I told my mother to go home and rest first, and I stayed with my father in the hospital. Looking at his closed eyes and various infusion tubes, my heart was a mess, and I didn't know what to do. During the few days I spent with my dad in the hospital, I was in turmoil. I understood that my mother wanted to save my father, but it was still a little difficult for me to accept that I should sell my only house. "Mom, you're here. Go get a good night's sleep at home, I'm here. "I advised Mom. "I couldn't sleep, I was thinking about your dad's illness all night. Mom sighed, "What are you thinking about? Can you sell the house?" I frowned: "Mom, I've promised you that you'll find a way to raise money, but the house really can't do it." Where am I going to live in the future?" Our family has no other way but to rely on you now. You should be filial to your father. Mom pleaded. "But Mom, my brother also has a house, why don't you let him sell it, you have to sell it?" I'm a little excited. "Your brother is still paying the mortgage, he can't sell it, only your house is bought in full, and the value is the largest. Mom said with red eyes. "Just because I bought the house in full, and now I'm going to suffer? I raised the volume. "How can you compare your sisters and brothers, you are a sister, you should think more about your family. Mom was also excited. My mom and I had a big fight over it. I was angry that she was always partial to my brother, and she was angry that I was so calculating when my father was dying. Both of us were red-eyed and neither would let anyone. At this time, Dad's attending doctor came to check on the ward, and when he saw us arguing, he hurriedly came over to persuade us: "Don't quarrel with the two of you, the patient needs to be quiet." That's when we stopped arguing. After the doctor checked on Dad, he told us a few more words before preparing to leave. I quickly grabbed the doctor and asked my dad how much the surgery would cost. The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, don't be too anxious, just observe for a few days, and you don't necessarily have to have surgery." At that time, it will not cost too much to prescribe some medicines. "My mom and I were relieved, we didn't expect the cost to be under control. Maybe, I really don't need to sell my house. When I heard the doctor say that the cost of surgery should not be too worrying for the time being, my mother and I were relieved. In the next few days, I continued to stay in the hospital to take care of my father, and his condition gradually improved and he was able to get out of bed and move. One day, when my mother came to visit, she seemed to be in a good mood. "Mom, you look much better. I laughed. "Yes, your dad's condition has improved, and I am relieved. Mom nodded. "That's good, I saw that you had a sad face before, and my heart was also very sad. I sighed. My mother sat down next to me and patted my hands: "I know that I was too demanding of you before, and I was wrong. You're already an independent woman, and I shouldn't decide what you have. "I was a little surprised, I didn't expect my mother to say that. "Mom, I understand that you are a first-aid father, but I also have my own considerations. I said cautiously. "I know. In fact, after your father's condition improved, I was thinking about our previous quarrel. Mom sighed. "Well, we did argue too much. I nodded. "It's me who's not right, always comparing you to my brother. "Mom blamed herself a little. I looked at my mother, and the knot in my heart slowly opened: "Mom, I know that you are also kind, but the way I can't accept it." "I will change it in the future, give you brothers and sisters more space, and I will not decide your affairs at will." Mom said, holding my hand. "That's good. I'll also take care of myself and not let you worry. I smiled in response. "Well, you're already a daughter on your own. Be responsible for your own life. Mom nodded. My mom and I opened our hearts to each other, and it made me feel like our relationship was suddenly much closer. After that, I continued to take care of my dad in the hospital, and my mom often came to help. Dad's health is improving every day, and he can finally be discharged from the hospital. On the day we were discharged from the hospital, my father smiled and said to us, "You mother and daughter have worked hard, I'm fine, and you don't quarrel." "Dad, don't worry, we have talked openly and honestly, and we will be more united in the future. I replied with a smile. "That's good, family harmony and beauty are real. Dad nodded. My heart warms and I feel that the relationship between our family has become closer. I also started to think about caring more about my family than just myself. Maybe it's time for me to sell my old house and improve my parents' lives. It's also a process of growth for me. After my dad was discharged from the hospital, I decided to move back to my hometown for a while to take care of my parents. One day, my mother cooked a few dishes that my father liked to eat, and our family ate happily. "Dad, you have a good appetite, it seems that your body is recovering well. I laughed. "yes, your mother's cooking is much better than the hospital. Dad laughed too. "Well, it's better to recuperate at home. Mom nodded. "However, the medical expenses still have to be spent, which is still a burden for our family. Dad sighed. "Don't worry about money, it's important to take care of your body slowly. "Mom advised Dad. "Well, let's talk about money when you're fully well. I also persuaded. "I know, I just think it's not easy for you mother and daughter. "Dad was a little reluctant. "Dad, you are the pillar of our family, as long as you are in good health. "I held my father's hand. "Yes, we're a family together, money is a small thing. Mom also held Dad's hand. "Okay, with your filial daughter and virtuous help, I can rest assured. Dad said movingly. After dinner, my mother went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and I accompanied my father to rest in the house. "Dad, after thinking about it, I decided to sell the house I bought before. I plucked up the courage to say. "What? No, now is not the time to think about this. Dad was a little surprised. "I think about it a lot, and I think that filial piety is the most important thing. The money from the sale of the house can improve our lives. I said seriously. "Silly girl, you bought the house yourself, on behalf of your efforts. "Dad touched my head. "I know, but I just want you and Mom to have a good life right now. "My eyes are a little red. "Good boy, you are already very filial. We'll be able to hold out for a while. Dad was also a little excited. "Then I'll find an agent to see how much the house is worth. Anyway, I can buy another house in the future. "I wiped my tears. "Well, I respect your decision. We have to take care of each other as a family to get through this difficult time. Dad nodded. I hugged my dad and it felt like our relationship had suddenly become very close. I decided to care more about my family than just myself. This event has made us a more united family. With my father's support, I finally made up my mind to sell my house. Through the listing through the agent, soon a buyer took a fancy to me and bought my house at a relatively reasonable price. On the day of the signing, I came to the agency with trepidation, and the buyer was already waiting there. "Hello, I'm the seller Li Xiaofang. I introduced myself with some nervousness. "Hello, hello, I won't introduce myself, just sign the contract. "The buyer was a middle-aged man who looked savvy. Therefore, under the witness of the intermediary, we quickly completed the signing procedures for the transfer of the house. "Congratulations, the deal is done. Buyers can pick up the house in a few days. The agent said. "Okay, thanks. I nodded, but I was a little reluctant in my heart, after all, this is my first property. Back at home, Mom had already prepared a hearty lunch. "Mom, the house is sold. I spoke. "So soon? Alas, it's time too. Mom sighed. "From now on, you can live at home, anyway, my brother will go out to work. Dad said. "Well, I'll take care of you. I nodded. "We know that you sold your beloved house for the sake of this home. "Mom held my hand. "Don't talk about it anymore, I've figured it out myself. I forced a smile. "Good boy, you made a difficult decision, and we are all very relieved. Dad looked at me approvingly. "Come, come, eat. It's been a hard time, and I've made your favorite dish. Mom began to serve the food. "Well, I love my mother's cooking. "I also started to have an appetite. The family ate around the dining table, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. I watched my parents enjoy the food, and the reluctance in my heart slowly disappeared. I believe I made the right choice, which also makes us a more united family. A few days later, the buyer came to collect the house. I watched the staff move out the furniture I had carefully arranged one by one, and I still felt a little stunned. The bits and pieces of these years have left memories in this nest. "I'll buy a new house when I have the chance. When the time comes, our family will create new memories. I said to myself in my heart. The money I used to sell the house was mainly used to improve my parents' lives. I bought a smartphone for each of my parents and taught them how to use it. "This phone is too complicated for me to learn. Dad said with a frown. "Dad, you just learn slowly, and it's easy to contact in the future. I smiled and encouraged. "yes, with this phone, we can video chat. Mom has already started fiddling with her new phone. "Mom learns so fast!" I complimented Mom. "I'll teach your dad, we can learn together. Mom said to Dad with a smile. I also took my parents for a full body check-up to make sure they were fully back to normal. The results of the examination were a relief for all three of us. "The doctor said I'm fully recovered, so you don't have to worry about me. Dad said happily. "Yes, thank you to our daughter for taking care of her. Mom looked at me gratefully. "As long as you're healthy. I'm happy too. I also took my parents on a trip to relax. We went to many cities where we grew up and revisited the scenes of our childhood. "The old house we lived in when we were kids is still there!" Dad said in surprise. "yes, and the parks we frequent, where many memories are located. Mom was also excited. "We can come back more often in the future. I sighed. The trip deepened our bonds. I also feel more and more that money is only material things, and feelings and memories are the most valuable treasures. I plan to stay with my parents in my hometown for a year and then return to the city to work. "Daughter, you don't have to stay with us for so long, work is also important. Dad said. "I want to spend more time with you, and work can be postponed. I said with a smile. "Good boy, we are very happy to be with you. Mom held my hand. "I love being with you the most, too. I gave my mom a big hug. During this time, I truly felt that the relationship between family members is the most precious. I want to continue to live with my parents and welcome a bright future with them. Money is just a part of life, but family and memories are where I really belong.
