My name is Li Fang, an ordinary housewife living in a typical Chinese city. My husband Zhang Qiang and I have been married for five years, and we have a lovely four-year-old daughter, Xiaoyu. My husband works for a foreign-owned company, while I take care of my daughter and do housework at home.
That afternoon, I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when the phone rang to break the peace. It was my mom calling, and her voice sounded weak. I immediately put down my work and nervously asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Fangfang, I wasn't feeling well, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that I needed a minor operation. Mom's voice was filled with bitter pain.
My heart tightened, and I immediately said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you immediately, you use it first." ”
Hanging up the phone, I didn't think much about it, and immediately logged in to the bank APP to transfer money. Zhang Qiang came from the living room and asked curiously, "Who are you transferring so much money to?"
I briefly explained my mother's situation, but I didn't expect Zhang Qiang's face to sink suddenly: "Your mother is sick again? Didn't you go to the hospital just two months ago? Why is it 10,000 yuan?"
I was a little stunned, I didn't expect Zhang Qiang to react like this, I tried to explain: "This time the situation is more urgent, and my mother needs surgery." ”
"Surgery? Are you sure you're not being scammed? Your mom is always sick, and we're not a bank, so we can't give her money every time. Zhang Qiang's tone became colder and colder.
I felt a chill in my heart, I didn't expect him to say this, but I still patiently explained: "Zhang Qiang, that's your mother." ”
"I know!" Zhang Qiang interrupted me, "but we also have our own families to support, why did you transfer the money so easily?"
At this time, our daughter Xiaoyu ran over and looked at us who were arguing in puzzlement, and her innocent eyes made me feel sad for a while. I turned around and picked her up, but I was thinking in my heart, is my marriage with Zhang Qiang really just because of money?
At dinner, Zhang Qiang's mother, who is also my mother-in-law, joined us. She is a kind old man and has always been very nice to me. I tried to make myself look okay, but my mother-in-law sensed that something was wrong with me.
"Fangfang, what's wrong? You seem to be preoccupied. The mother-in-law asked with concern.
I looked at Zhang Qiang, who was eating with his head down, as if nothing had happened. I took a deep breath and decided not to worry my mother-in-law, and said with a smile, "It's okay, mother-in-law, maybe I'm a little tired today." ”
After dinner, Zhang Qiang's cousin Li Gang came to visit. He was a warm-hearted young man, and when he heard that we had a quarrel, he came over to persuade him to make peace. As soon as Li Gang entered the door, he joked: "Hey, my eldest cousin and sister-in-law, today."
Oh my God, there's something wrong with this atmosphere. ”
I smiled awkwardly, and Zhang Qiang responded coldly: "It's nothing, it's normal for young couples to be noisy." ”
Li Gang saw the embarrassment, so he changed the topic: "By the way, Zhang Qiang, how is the project going on in the company? I heard that you have been very busy recently." ”
Zhang Qiang seemed to be happy to talk about work, his face softened slightly, and he began to talk to Li Gang about work. I took the opportunity to take Xiaoyu to the bedroom, but I was thinking in my heart, how did my relationship with Zhang Qiang become so delicate?
The next day, I decided to visit my mom. Zhang Qiang did not object, but he did not say that he wanted to go together. I took a light rain and took a two-hour drive to finally arrive in my mother's city.
My mother lives in an old neighborhood, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw her lying on the bed with a pale face. I felt a pain in my heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Mom, how are you feeling now?"
"It's okay, the doctor said the operation was successful, but you need to rest well. Mom replied weakly.
I sat on the edge of the bed and carefully peeled the apple for my mother. At this time, Aunt Zhang, a neighbor, came to visit my mother, and when she saw me, she said, "Fangfang, your mother really frightened us this time, but fortunately you transferred the money in time." ”
I smiled and didn't say much. Aunt Zhang looked at me, seemed to think of something, and whispered: "Fangfang, there will always be friction in marriage, but remember, communication is very important, don't let the misunderstanding accumulate more and more." ”
I nodded, but I was thinking in my heart that it would be good if Zhang Qiang could understand me like Aunt Zhang.
Mom rested for a while, and I took Xiaoyu to a nearby park. In the park, the light rain was running happily, and I sat on the bench, but my heart could not be calm for a long time.
At this moment, my mobile phone rang, and it was Zhang Qiang calling. I hesitated, but answered the phone anyway.
"Li Fang, how is your mother?" Zhang Qiang's voice sounded a little concerned.
"She's okay, the operation was successful, and she needs a good rest. I replied briefly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Zhang Qiang said: "Don't come back too late at night, be careful on the road." ”
I answered and hung up. Zhang Qiang's concern made me feel a little warm, but the estrangement in my heart did not disappear.
In the evening, I returned home with a light rain. Zhang Qiang had already returned, he was watching TV in the living room, and when he saw us coming back, he stood up and helped me with my luggage.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Zhang Qiang occasionally asked about his mother's situation, and I only answered simply. After the meal, Zhang Qiang proposed that the family of three go for a walk, and after thinking about it, it was still the same
Meaning.
The night is gentle, and the road under the street lamps is extraordinarily quiet. Zhang Qiang took Xiaoyu's hand, and I walked beside them. We walked through the garden of the community, Xiaoyu excitedly pointed to flowers and butterflies, and Zhang Qiang would bend down from time to time to explain to her. I looked at them and had a feeling in my heart that I couldn't explain.
As he walked, Zhang Qiang suddenly stopped, turned to me and said, "Li Fang, I may have gone a little too far about your mother. ”
I stopped and looked at him, "You know, my mom isn't in good health and she needs our help. ”
Zhang Qiang nodded, was silent for a while, and then said, "I know, I'm worried about our financial situation. But I didn't take your feelings into account, I'm sorry. ”
I took a deep breath and felt that the stone in my heart had finally landed: "Thank you for your understanding, let's communicate more in the future, okay?"
Zhang Qiang smiled and nodded, took my hand, and the three of us continued to move forward.
The next day, Zhang Qiang went to work, and I decided to take Xiaoyu to the supermarket to shop. In the supermarket, I ran into my friend Lin Jing. When she saw me, she came over in surprise: "Li Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"
We sat down at a coffee shop and struck up. I confided in her about the recent situation at home. After hearing this, Lin Jing pondered for a while, and then said: "There will always be such and such problems in marriage, and the key is to find a way to solve them. ”
Her words made my heart light up: "Yes, Zhang Qiang and I should communicate more and find a balance between each other." ”
On the way home, I thought about it a lot. I decided to work with Zhang Qiang to create a family budget plan that would take care of the needs of the family without neglecting the health of my parents.
In the evening, when Zhang Qiang came back, I told him about this idea. After hearing this, he said seriously: "This is a good idea, we can make a detailed plan together." ”
We sat down at the dinner table and ate and discussed. Zhang Qiang made a lot of practical suggestions, and I also put forward some ideas. In the process, we all felt each other's efforts and understanding.
Just as we were in the middle of a heated discussion, the doorbell rang. I went to open the door and found that it was Zhang Qiang's sister Zhang Yue. She held some fruit and snacks in her hand, smiled and said, "I heard that your mother is sick, I will come and have a look." ”
After Zhang Yue came in, the atmosphere became more relaxed. She and I talked about family matters and shared some experiences in dealing with family conflicts. Zhang Qiang also joined us in the conversation, and we had a great time chatting throughout the evening.
Before going to bed at night, Zhang Qiang whispered to me: "Tonight is really good, I feel that we are back to the feeling we had when we first got married." ”
I smiled and nodded, feeling a wave of warmth and satisfaction in my heart. Yes, as long as we want to meet
Mutual understanding, mutual communication, any problem is not a problem.
The next day, Zhang Qiang and I worked out a family budget plan together. We decided to set aside a portion of the money each month for the family's emergency fund, including the parents' medical expenses. At the same time, we have also set up a savings plan for our small family to prepare for the future.
In the process of developing the plan, I felt the importance of the two of us working together. Zhang Qiang's attitude also comforts me, he is no longer overly sensitive to money issues as before, but pays more attention to the overall happiness of the family.
A few days later, Zhang's company held a family day event. Our family of three participated. During the event, I saw a different Zhang Qiang, who was so lively and cheerful in front of his colleagues and family. Xiaoyu is also very happy, and she can't stop laughing in the game. We took a lot of photos and made great memories of that day.
At the end of the event, one of Zhang Qiang's colleagues came up to me and said, "Li Fang, you are so lucky, Zhang Qiang is a well-known good husband and father in the company. ”
I smiled and nodded, feeling immensely proud. Yes, I know I chose a good husband, a good father.
On the way home, Zhang Qiang held my hand and said, "Li Fang, thank you for your understanding and support all the time, I will work harder to make our family happier." ”
I looked at him with emotion, my eyes full of love: "I will too, we will work together." ”
After a few weeks, my mom's body gradually recovered. She thanked Zhang Qiang and me over the phone. Zhang Qiang is also very concerned about his mother's recovery, which makes me feel very gratified.
One night, our family was watching TV in the living room. It occurred to me that maybe we should plan a family outing. I came up with this idea, and both Zhang Qiang and Xiaoyu were very supportive.
We started planning the trip. Zhang Qiang proposed to go to the beach because Xiaoyu had always wanted to see the sea. Together, we look up information on the Internet and plan our trips. In the process, we are as excited and happy as two children.
Finally, the day of travel has come. Our family of three embarked on a journey to the beach. On the beach, Xiaoyu was running excitedly on the beach, while Zhang Qiang and I held hands and walked quietly on the beach. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on us, and at that moment, I felt that we were the happiest family in the world.
In the evening, we sat in the restaurant by the sea, listening to the sound of the waves and enjoying delicious seafood. Zhang Qiang suddenly said: "Li Fang, when Xiaoyu grows up, should we also consider having another child?"
I was shocked by this sudden question, but looking at his serious eyes, I knew that this was his expectation and plan for the family. I smiled and nodded, "Okay, we can think about it." ”
That night, I lay in bed, listening to the sound of the waves, thinking
