I am an honest and diligent person, I get up early every day, busy in the fields, planting, fertilizing, watering, this is my daily work.
Every morning, my son would give me a ride in front of my house and ride my bike to school. My daughter will help me with some of the housework, and I always tell her to study hard and live a good life in the future.
Over the years, I have always felt that my fate was unfair. For the sake of my family, I gave up the opportunity to be a soldier, but I lost this opportunity because I was reported.
I didn't expect that one day, 40 years later, his grandson would come to me with such a message, which surprised and touched me at the same time.
So, although I was surprised by the arrival of this young man, I was not discouraged. Such details give me more to think about, and it also makes me cherish everything in front of me more.
I look forward to reaping more touches and surprises in this ordinary family.
One day, I noticed that there seemed to be some conflict between my son and daughter. They've been arguing lately, and they're at odds on a lot of topics.
One night, while I was packing up farm tools in the yard, I heard their quarrel. I crept closer and heard them arguing over my daughter's studies and future development.
It hurts me very much. I missed the opportunity to be a soldier because I was reported, but I didn't give up my hard work and perseverance because of this, but cherished everything in front of me even more.
So, I arranged a family reunion. My wife and I enlightened our son and daughter and encouraged them to understand and tolerate each other.
The son should care more about and support his sister, and the daughter should also understand her responsibilities.
At this party, I saw the distress and touch in the eyes of the children. I am sure they will understand my hard work and expectations and become more mature and strong people.
After I talked to the squad leader's grandson, I remembered the incident reported by my fellow villagers. This shadow has been lingering in my heart.
Just as I was trying to get rid of my memories, an accident happened at home.
I angrily wanted to complain to the principal and find out who was bullying my daughter. But my son stopped me, saying that in today's complicated society, complaining may not really solve the problem, but will cause more trouble.
I hesitated, but finally agreed.
In the evening, the daughter came home. She looked a little down, and when I asked her what was going on, she was reluctant to say.
It hurt my heart so much that I decided I had to do something for her.
The next day, I accompanied my daughter to school early in the morning. I'm going to find the people who bullied her and talk to their parents.
I insisted on helping her, but she advised me to go home and leave me alone. During our argument, my daughter suddenly fell to her knees and she said she was afraid that I would be bullied.
I thought about it and finally decided to let my daughter handle the matter on her own. Maybe I'm too anxious, my daughter can already deal with some problems independently at this age.
As a father, I always wanted to help her get rid of unpleasant things, but I realized that I was too naïve.
This incident made me reflect deeply on my own behavior. It also made me deeply reflect on the situation within our family.
Perhaps, appropriate ordeal is also part of their growth path. This incident made me understand them more and cherish them more.
Soon, after the farming was over, it was winter. At this time, my family was very lonely, because my children were studying in the city, and my wife and I were the only ones in the country.
Picking up the phone, it was her daughter's voice, she cried and said that her son and her had a fierce argument over a trivial matter.
After discussing it with my wife, we decided to go to the city the next day.
The next day, we left for the city early in the morning. When I arrived at my daughter's house, I saw that my daughter and son were both angry, and they had their own opinions and did not give in to each other.
The essence of the matter is that my son thinks that I am biased in my daughter's education, and my wife is on her side, which makes my son feel disappointed and unfair.
This sudden contradiction shocked and powerless me, and I did not expect that the way I had raised my children had caused conflict.
But it left me tormented, and I always felt that I was not wrong, but I couldn't bear to see the rift between my children.
During this time, I had a sad face all day long, and my wife saw it in her eyes and worried about me. She comforted me by saying that the children were just getting emotional and that they would get better when it was over.
I hope that I can be more open-minded to understand the children's ideas, and at the same time be able to find ways to resolve conflicts.
The contradictions in this family are not only superficial contradictions, but also involve deeper problems. I don't know if these issues will be properly resolved, but I am willing to do my best to restore warmth and harmony to this family.
