My name is Li Xiaofeng, I am Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and I am an ordinary accountant. The news of my father's death exploded like a bomb in my peaceful life without warning. That day, my mother sat in front of me, her eyes wandering, and she clutched a faded wedding invitation that belonged to her and Uncle Chen.
"Xiaofeng, I'm going to marry Uncle Chen. Mom's voice was surprisingly calm.
"Mom, Dad has only been dead for two months..." My voice trembled a little.
"Life has to go on, you also know that I ...... with your Uncle Chen" Mom didn't finish, turned and left the kitchen.
I stood there, my lunch box falling to the ground with a dull sound.
A few weeks later, my mother and Uncle Chen's wedding was held in a hotel in a small town. I didn't go, I couldn't face it all. On the third day after the wedding, my mother called me with tears in her voice.
"Xiaofeng, it's me, I... I want to tell you something. "
I was silent and waited for her to continue.
"Uncle Chen's daughter, Xiaoyu, is seriously ill and needs a lot of money for surgery. Can you lend us some ......?"
My heart suddenly tightened, and an inexplicable anger welled up in my heart. "Why should I help her? She's not my family. "
"Xiaofeng, she is your stepsister now. As a family, we should help each other......"
"A family?" I interrupted her with a sneer, "Mom, you destroyed this family, and now you want me to save it?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then there was a choked voice from my mother: "I know I'm sorry for you, but this is a child's life, Xiaofeng, I beg you......"
I hung up and felt like my heart was being torn in half.
That night, I tossed and turned in my room, remembering what my father was like when he was alive, he was always smiling, very nice to my mother, and to me. I couldn't understand why my mother had to remarry so quickly, why she had left our original family behind.
The next day, I went to the company with a heavy heart. My colleague Xiao Zhang noticed that something was wrong with me.
"Brother Li, what's wrong? Xiao Zhang asked.
I shook my head and didn't answer. That afternoon, I left work early and wandered aimlessly down the streets.
I walked to a café and happened to see Uncle Chen sitting with a woman I didn't know, and they seemed intimate. My heart moved, and the scene of my mother begging me for help came to my mind. I couldn't help but walk over.
"Uncle Chen, what are you doing ......?" I deliberately said it louder.
When Uncle Chen saw me, his face changed and he hurriedly stood up
Getting up, a little embarrassed, the woman also looked at me, her face full of doubt.
"Xiaofeng, why are you here?" Uncle Chen stammered.
I looked him in the eye, my eyes full of doubt: "I should ask you, you and this lady ......"
Uncle Chen hurriedly explained: "This is my colleague, we are just discussing work. ”
I sneered, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave the café. My suspicions about Uncle Chen deepened, and I began to think about whether I should really help them.
When I got home, I received a call from an unfamiliar number, it was a young girl's voice: "Hello, I'm Xiaoyu, Uncle Chen's daughter. I heard from my mom that you might help us ......"
I interrupted her: "Xiaoyu, I don't know you, and I don't know your condition. I need time to think about it. ”
After hanging up, I felt a wave of confusion. Should I help a stepsister I've never met?
The next day, I decided to visit Xiaoyu in the hospital to at least find out what was going on. At the hospital, I saw Xiaoyu lying on the hospital bed, she looked very weak. Her mother, Uncle Chen's current wife, saw me with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"You're Xiaofeng, thank you for coming to visit Xiaoyu. She said with some crampedness.
I nodded and looked at Xiaoyu: "How do you feel?"
Xiaoyu smiled weakly: "Thank you for coming to see me, I heard a lot of things about you from my mother." ”
We chatted for a while, and I learned that Xiaoyu's condition was indeed serious and required an expensive operation. The contradiction in my heart is even deeper.
On the way out of the hospital, I ran into an old classmate, Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang is a lawyer, and we talked.
"I heard you've had some family problems lately?" Zhang Qiang asked.
I gave him a brief account of the situation. Zhang Qiang pondered for a while, and then said, "Xiaofeng, I suggest that you understand the legal issues before making a decision. Such as your stepsister's rights and obligations, as well as your legal responsibilities to her. ”
I nodded, thanking him for his advice. In the evening, I rummaged through some legal materials at home, trying to find my ground.
A few days later, I went to the hospital again to visit Xiaoyu. This time, Uncle Chen was also there. He saw me, a little nervous.
"Xiaofeng, I ...... about what happened in the café that day"
I interrupted him: "Uncle Chen, I'm here for Xiaoyu. I still need time to think about the money thing. ”
Uncle Chen nodded, looking a little disappointed.
When I left the hospital, I made a silent decision in my mind. In any case, I can't let an innocent child suffer. But at the same time, I also need to protect myself from getting into unnecessary disputes.
The next day, I called my mother
phone, the voice was calm but resolute: "Mom, about Xiaoyu, I decided to give some money to help her." But I have my conditions. ”
Mom sounded a little surprised on the other end of the phone: "What conditions?"
"I'm going to give the money directly to the hospital, I don't want it to go through anyone's hands. I took a deep breath, "And, that's all I can do as an outsider." In the future, it is better for us to have less contact with each other. ”
Mom was silent for a while, then said with a choked voice, "Okay, Xiaofeng, thank you." ”
After hanging up, I felt like I had a heavy burden lifted. I knew that this decision might have made my relationship with my mom even more alienated, but I needed to protect my feelings from being hurt again.
A few days later, I went to the hospital and handed the money directly to the doctor in charge of Xiaoyu's treatment. The doctor gratefully shook my hand: "Thank you, Mr. Lee. Your act of kindness may save a little girl's life. ”
I nodded and didn't say anything more. As I left the hospital, I felt a strange tranquility creeping through my mind.
Over the next few weeks, I try to focus as much as I can on my work. Xiao Zhang and other colleagues noticed the change in me, but they didn't ask much.
One afternoon, I received a call from Xiaoyu, and her voice sounded more energetic than before: "Brother Li, I want to thank you personally." My surgery was a success and the doctor said I would recover quickly. ”
I smiled slightly: "Don't thank me, Xiaoyu." I just did what I thought was right. ”
That night, I lay in bed and thought about my life. I realized that I could still take control of my happiness despite the breakdown of my family relationship. I started thinking about whether it was time to start a new life and maybe it was time to make some changes.
After a few days, I decided to go on a trip and relax my nerves. I chose a quiet town with beautiful scenery and fresh air.
In a café in the town, I met a girl named Lin Jing. She is the owner of a café with a warm smile and an approachable personality. We talked a lot, from work to life to our dreams.
Lin Jing's words are full of love for life: "I always feel that life is to keep trying new things, even if you encounter difficulties, you must face them bravely. ”
I was deeply touched by her words. I started to reflect on my life, should I also be more positive about life's challenges?
During my time in the town, Lin Jing and I became good friends. We hiked together, looked at the stars together, and chatted. I found myself gradually attracted to her sunshine and optimism.
On the way back to the city, I realized that I was ready to look forward. I decided to get myself a new one
The beginning, which may include a new emotional journey.
When I returned to the city, I started to focus more on my work and get socially active. My life gradually became fuller. Whenever I have free time, I call Lin Jing and share my daily routine with her. Our relationship is also slowly developing.
One day, I received a call from my mother, and she told me that Xiaoyu's recovery was very good. I could hear the relief in her voice, and I felt a little relieved.
"Xiaofeng, I know I've done a lot of wrong things before, but I'm really grateful to you for helping Xiaoyu. Mom said.
"Mom, that's what I'm supposed to do. I replied simply.
There was silence on the phone for a while, and then my mother said softly, "I hope you can be happy, no matter what kind of life you choose." ”
I smiled slightly, and the heaviness in my heart seemed to be lighter.
Over the next few months, my relationship with Lin Jing gradually warmed up. We learned about each other's pasts, including my family's woes and her life story. Our relationship is built on deep understanding and respect.
One day, Lin Jing said to me, "Xiaofeng, I like you. You are a person who bravely faces difficulties and your heart is full of love. ”
I held her hand tightly: "Lin Jing, I like you too." You have changed my life for the better. ”
We decided to start a new relationship together. I know it's not going to be a road without difficulties, but I'm ready to face it.
I also started to re-examine my relationship with my mom. I know the rift between us won't be repaired in a day or two, but I'm willing to try. I started to communicate more with my mom and our relationship slowly warmed up.
One day, I took Lin Jing to see my mother. It was a tense but hopeful meeting. Mom's eyes were filled with relief when she saw that I had found new happiness.
"Lin Jing, welcome to become a part of our family. Mom said warmly.
In that moment, I felt a sense of peace and happiness that I had never felt before. I know that no matter what challenges life throws at me, if I face them bravely, there will always be a solution.
Life goes on. Lin Jing and I manage our love together, and I have also made new progress in my work. I began to focus more on personal growth and development.
On a sunny weekend, I took Lin Jing to that beautiful town. We spent a wonderful weekend there revisiting the places we met.
Sitting by the river in the town, I said to Lin Jing, "You know what? When I first came here, my heart was heavy. But now, with you by my side, I feel like the whole world is different. ”
Lin Jing smiled and leaned on my shoulder: "Xiaofeng, with you, my world."
It also gets better. ”
We sat there, watching the river flow by, filled with a vision for the future.
As time went by, my relationship with Lin Jing became more and more stable. We began to discuss the future, including marriage and family. At the same time, I am also trying to improve my relationship with my mother, and although it is progressing slowly, it is finally getting better.
On an ordinary day, I received a call from Xiaoyu. She excitedly told me that she had fully recovered and was about to return to school to continue her studies. I could feel her happiness and anticipation for the future.
"Brother Xiaofeng, thank you. You've helped us a lot. Xiaoyu's voice was full of gratitude.
"Xiaoyu, I'm glad I can help you. I wish you all the best for the future. I replied gently.
After I hung up the phone, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. I helped someone in need, and that makes me very proud.
A few months later, Lin Jing and I decided to get married. Our wedding was small but very cozy. Mom and Xiaoyu also came to the wedding scene. Looking at the happy smiles of Mom and Xiaoyu, I know that despite the hardships our family has experienced, now, we have all found our own happiness.
After the wedding, Lin Jing and I went on our honeymoon. We went to a distant island and enjoyed the sweetness and tranquility of the world for two. There, we made a commitment to each other's future.
Once home, we began to plan our future together. We discussed many things, including work, life, and possible family plans. I found that being with Lin Jing made me full of confidence and anticipation for the future.
Over the next few years, Lin Jing and I had many good times together. We travel, we enjoy life, and we also make progress in our respective fields of work. Our love, like wine, grows more mellow with the passage of time.
I also gradually repaired my relationship with my mother. We can't go back to the carefree mother-child relationship we used to have, but at least we've learned to understand and respect each other. I know, it's part of growing up.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have entered middle age. I look back at the road I've walked and feel a lot of emotion. I have experienced the breakdown of my family, my inner struggles, and the beauty of loving and being loved. Each experience has made me stronger and more mature.
Lin Jing and I have built a warm family together, and our lives are ordinary but full of happiness. We have learned to value each other and to find joy in the ups and downs of life.
At the end of this story, I want to say that no matter what challenges life throws at you, as long as you have the courage to face them, always
