That year, I sat on a wicker chair in my hometown, looking out the window on the familiar alley and the old bluestone pavement. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappling down on my feet. My name is Lin Hao, a young man who has just graduated from university, and I am at a crossroads in my life.
"Hao'er, your father said he wanted to remarry. Mom's words shattered the silence of the afternoon. She held a bowl of stewed chicken soup in her hand, her brows furrowed, and she looked a little tired.
"Remarriage?" I was stunned, a little surprised. It's been five years since they divorced, and in those five years, Mom and Grandma still have a good relationship, as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, there's something on your dad's side, he thinks ......" Mom's words weren't finished when the door to the living room creaked open, and Grandma walked in.
"What are you talking about, remarriage, old forest, that old fox is really a thief!" grandma's voice was always so loud and disdainful.
Mom shook her head and said to Grandma, "Mom, I think ...... We still have to think about it. ”
"What are you thinking about? That man cheated back then, broke the heart of our Xiaoni (mother's nickname), and now he wants to come back?
I looked at them with some mixed feelings. Since my father cheated and divorced, there have been only three of us left in the family. Mom and grandma have a closer relationship than before, they are like comrades-in-arms who have gone through ups and downs, supporting each other's lives.
"Hao'er, what do you think?" Mom suddenly turned to me, her eyes full of anticipation.
I paused and said, "I...... I think it's up to my mother to decide. After all, it's your life. ”
"You see, the kid is right. Grandma nodded and motioned for me to help out in the kitchen.
I stood up, but I thought to myself, this is far from that simple. Dad's request to remarry, I don't know what is hidden behind it. I decided to take advantage of the weekend to visit my dad and maybe find out some answers.
Over the weekend, I stood in front of my dad's door, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell. The door slowly opened, and Dad had an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Hao'er, here, come in. His voice trembled a little.
I followed him into the house and found a lot of familiar objects in the house, those that had been in our house. On the wall hung a family photo of me and my parents, as if time was still stuck in that happy moment.
"爸,
"Dad, did you come to me because you wanted to talk about remarriage?" I cut straight to the point, not wanting to beat around the bush.
Dad looked at me with a hint of confusion and helplessness in his eyes, "Yes, Hao'er, I...... I know I've done a lot of things wrong before, but I really regret it now. ”
I was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad, I can understand that you want to make amends, but Mom and Grandma...... You know, they've been through a lot. ”
"I know, I know. Dad's voice was low, as if suppressing some emotion, "But I've really changed, and I hope I can have a chance to prove it to you." ”
Our conversation was interrupted by a sudden ringing of our phone. Dad picked up the phone, glanced at it, and suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"Who?" I asked.
"Ah, this, an old colleague. "Dad was stumbling and looking a little uncomfortable.
At that moment, I realized that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed. I decided to stay vigilant and also wanted to get to the bottom of what Dad really thought.
On the way away from my father's house, I wondered how to deal with this complicated family relationship. I decided to talk to my friend Xiao Li, who has always been my bosom friend.
Xiao Li opened a café in our local area, which is a warm and quiet place. I found him in a café.
"Hao, what's wrong? You seem to be a little worried. Xiao Li asked with concern as he poured me coffee.
I told him about my father's desire to remarry, and my doubts and worries about the whole thing.
"Hmm......" Xiao Li mused, "it sounds like your dad is in a bit of a hurry. Have you ever considered that there might be other reasons behind him doing this?"
"Other reasons?" I froze.
"yes, for example, financial hardship, or stress in life. Xiao Li analyzed.
I suddenly remembered my father's embarrassed expression when he answered the phone, and my heart was even more uneasy. "You have a point, I'll have to dig deeper. ”
On the way home, I kept thinking about Xiao Li's words. I decided to talk to my mom and grandma first to see what they thought about it.
"Mom, I want to talk to you seriously about Dad. "I found my mom after dinner.
Mom looked at me with mixed emotions in her eyes, "Hao'er, I know your father has looked for you." Actually, I'm thinking about it too. ”
"Mom, have you ever thought that Dad might have other reasons for wanting to remarry?" I said cautiously.
Mom was silent for a moment, then said, "I have such a guess as well. Your father's business hasn't been very good lately, and I suspect he may have proposed to remarry for financial reasons. ”
My heart sank, if it was
If it is as the mother suspected, then behind all this is not just a simple request to remarry, but other more complex factors.
"Mom, what would you do if that were the case?" I asked.
Mom sighed, "I don't know, Hao'er. Over the years, I've become Xi to living alone. Your dad's sudden appearance baffles me. ”
I looked at my mother and felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. I know my mom is a strong person, but in the face of such complex emotional entanglements, anyone can feel at a loss.
The next day, I decided to talk to my dad again, and I wanted to get some direct answers from him.
I knocked on my father's door. He looked a little surprised, but let me into the house anyway.
"Dad, can we talk about your remarriage to Mom. "I put it bluntly.
Dad was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Hao'er, I know what I did wrong before." I really regret it, I just want to get back my lost family. ”
"But, Dad, I've heard that your business hasn't been doing well lately, does that have anything to do with your desire to remarry?" I asked tentatively.
Dad's face changed suddenly, and he looked a little cramped and uneasy, "This...... It is true that I have been experiencing some financial difficulties lately. But I assure you, it has nothing to do with my desire to remarry. ”
As I listened to my father's words, I became even more uncertain. I think Dad might be hiding something, but I don't have hard evidence either.
When I got home, I decided to talk to my grandmother. Grandma has always been the mainstay of our family, and she has a unique perspective on the family.
"Grandma, what do you think about Dad and Mom's remarriage?" I asked.
Grandma put down the work in her hand and looked at me seriously, "Hao'er, I know that your father has done a lot of wrong things, but people always make mistakes." If he really wants to make amends, we can't just push him away. ”
"But what if he had other purposes?" I asked.
Grandma groaned, "Then we should find out the truth." In any case, this matter is related to the happiness of our whole family. ”
I was deeply inspired by my grandmother's words. I decided to dig a little deeper into my father's financial situation and see if I could find any clues.
A few days later, I happened to meet an old friend of my father, Uncle Zhang, in a café. I remember my dad once mentioned him and said that they used to be business partners.
I stepped forward and said hello to Uncle Zhang. "Uncle Zhang, hello, I am Lin Hao, Mr. Lin's son. ”
Uncle Zhang recognized me, "Oh, Hao'er, you've grown so big." How's your dad doing?"
I briefly chatted about my dad's current situation, and then tentatively
He asked, "Uncle Zhang, I heard that my dad has been in some trouble in his business recently, do you know about this situation?"
Uncle Zhang was silent for a while, then sighed, "Actually, your father's company did encounter some difficulties. He had previously invested in a project, but the results were not ideal, and now there is a problem with the funding chain. ”
Hearing this, the doubts in my heart were even heavier. From this point of view, Dad's proposal to remarry is likely to be related to his financial situation.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I said gratefully.
Leaving the café, I decided to find the right time to have an in-depth conversation with my dad. I need to know what he really thinks.
A few days later, I came to my dad's house again. This time, I took it with a firmer attitude.
"Dad, we need to talk. I said solemnly.
Dad looked at me and seemed to feel my determination, "Okay, Hao'er, what do you want to know?"
"Is your proposal to remarry because of your current financial difficulties?" I asked bluntly.
Dad's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he lowered his head, "Yes, I did have some difficulties. I know it's wrong, but I really can't do anything else. ”
Hearing this, I felt a sense of disappointment, but also relief. "Dad, I understand your plight, but using remarriage to solve financial problems is unfair to both mom and grandma. ”
Dad sighed, "I know, I was wrong. I'll find another way to fix this. ”
After our conversation, I went home and told my mom and grandma about it.
Mom was silent, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. "I see, Hao'er. Either way, we're all family, and I'm going to help your dad through this. ”
Grandma also nodded, "yes, we can't abandon him when he is in the most difficult time. ”
Looking at them, I felt a wave of warmth. Despite all that is going on at home, love and support are always at the heart of our home.
Over the next few months, our whole family struggled to help Dad with his financial problems. Although my mother did not agree to remarry, she provided some financial help, and my grandmother also supported her to the best of her ability.
At the same time, I also started to work harder, hoping to contribute to my family.
Through the joint efforts of our whole family, Dad's company gradually came out of the predicament. He also realized the importance of family in the process and cherished our relationship even more.
Eventually, harmony and peace were restored to our family. Although there have been many twists and turns along the way, these experiences have made us cherish each other even more.
I learned a lot from this event, especially about family, love and responsibility. There may be many unsatisfactory in life, but only
But as long as we are united, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the home gradually returned to its former warmth and harmony. Dad's career also started to gradually improve, and he became more hard-working and focused. Although the relationship between him and his mother has not returned to the intimacy it once was, it has also returned to a smooth and friendly state.
I've grown a lot along the way. I began to understand more about the feelings between family members, as well as the responsibilities and roles of each person. I also learned how to stay calm and rational in the face of difficulties and find the best way to solve problems.
My relationship with Xiao Li has also deepened because of this. Not only did he give me a lot of support and advice when I needed help, but he also invited me to his café from time to time, where I found a sense of calm and relaxation.
One weekend afternoon, I sat in Xiao Li's café, looking out the window at the street scene, and my heart was full of gratitude.
"Hao, you seem to be in a good mood. Xiao Li came over and sat across from me.
"Yes, it feels like everything is slowly getting better. I replied with a smile.
"Your family's affairs are handled so well, I'm so happy for you. Xiao Li said.
I nodded, "It's all about your help and support." ”
"We're friends, we should. Xiao Li replied with a smile.
While we were chatting, my phone rang. It was a call from my mother.
"Hao'er, your grandmother's birthday today, are you coming back for dinner?"
"Of course, I will definitely come back. I replied.
After hanging up the phone, I said to Xiao Li, "I have to go home early today, grandma's birthday." ”
"Then go quickly, don't let grandma wait. Xiao Li said with a smile.
When I got home, I found that the house was already furnished and the atmosphere was very warm. Mom and Grandma were busy in the kitchen, and Dad was helping.
"Hao'er, you're back. "Grandma had a happy smile on her face when she saw me.
For dinner, we sat around and chatted about homely cooking while eating delicious dishes. The atmosphere was very congenial. I looked at the smiling faces of my family members, and my heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
This experience made me deeply realize that no matter what kind of challenges life brings us, as long as we have love, we have the courage and strength to face everything. Home is not only a place, but also a harbor for our souls, which we rely on forever.
Since then, no matter where I go, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I have known that there is a place, a group of people, who are always there waiting for me, giving me strength and courage.
This is home, this is love.
