My mother suddenly made a request to me that made me angry and annoyed: "You have to let your father go back to his hometown to see, he has mixed well in the city in the past few years, and it is time to go back to the country." ”
I was in a state of flux because I knew what my mom meant. I have always regarded myself as a successful person in the city, and my father is a "phoenix man" who has been ridiculed by others, and has been living in his old family since retirement, with a meager income and a poor life. Although I knew that this was to save face for my mother, I really didn't want to take my father's unpopular identity to the street with him.
But my mother's face was important, so I had to reluctantly agree. According to the agreement, our family of three came to our hometown, and I was full of disdain for this trip back to my hometown. In my hometown, I walked all the way with my head covered like an alien, for fear of being seen by acquaintances. However, the truth is often unexpected, and I found that my neighbors in my hometown did not look at me strangely, but greeted me in a friendly manner.
"Young man, have you come back to see your mother?" asked me with a smile from a pleasant old woman.
I nodded hesitantly, and at this time, there was a smile on the old woman's face: "It's really filial piety, this young man should be more filial to the old man." ”
When I heard this, my heart was hot, and it turned out that the people in my hometown did not discriminate against our family as I imagined, but were very kind and kind. All these surprises made me feel emotional, and also made me start to relax a little.
There was also joy in my father's eyes. We were about to step into the house when we saw my wife's face very unpleasant. The wife stood in the doorway, her pretty face as cold as frost. I suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in my heart, could it be that my wife already knew that I had returned with my father?
"What's wrong, why do you look uncomfortable?" I asked her.
My wife didn't speak, she just led us into the house. Then she started to have a seizure: "Do you know that our mortgage hasn't been paid for half a year? It's because you always spend money recklessly, and our savings are long gone! How can you do this?"
I was stunned by her words, I really didn't expect my wife to say these things at this time. Was it only because I brought my father home? I felt a wave of anger in my heart: "How can you talk like that? Don't you know how important it is for me to bring my father back? I did this for you and your mother!"
The wife's face sank: "You are for my mother? You also know my mother's temper, she was already annoyed when she didn't see your father come back." How can you push everything on me?"
I was a little exhausted by my wife's words, and my heart was filled with helplessness. At this time, my father was also looking at us stupidly.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. My mother finally spoke, "Don't you know? ”
I realized that the children in the family were already hiding in the corners and curled up together, their eyes red. I suddenly felt as if there was a rope around my heart, and it hurt terribly.
"I'm sorry, dear, I wasn't right. I said softly to my wife.
I nodded and bit my lip. All this makes me feel even more emotional, although my mother's face is important, it should not involve the happiness of my family. All this has made me realize the importance of my family even more, and I will not involve our family because of some other things in the future, nor will I let my family have a difficult life because of me.
When I was comforting my children, I also silently swore in my heart that I would take good care of my family in the future and not let them suffer any more harm. My wife also slowly returned to me, and I felt a warm current in my heart, it turned out that family is the most important thing, I will earn more face for my family, and I will also use my own strength to protect their happiness.
"Who of us doesn't make mistakes?" said his wife, a smile on her face.
"Yes, we are all still young, and we still have a long way to go. I laughed too.
The father looked at us with emotion in his eyes: "Son, child, you don't have to quarrel for me, you still have a bright future." He said earnestly.
"yes, Dad, we'll try. I gently patted my father on the shoulder.
"By the way, would you like to try the hometown dish I just made?" said my father as he began to pick up the pots and pans.
"Wow, Dad, your cooking is so delicious, we must try it!" I put my arms around my wife and said to her, "Honey, how is it? ”
The wife smiled but said nothing, looking at her father's busy figure, a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes.
We helped each other with vegetables, and the family of three sat around the dining table, eating my father's hometown food, talking and laughing. This meal is so warm and pleasant, as if all the contradictions have been perfectly resolved with this meal.
After dinner, we walked together to the small square at the entrance of the village. As the red sun slowly set, the afterglow reflected on our faces, and I felt a sense of peace and serenity in my heart. At this moment, I realized that what we needed was not the gain or loss of fame and fortune, but the understanding and tolerance between family members. I stood on the land of my hometown, looking at the sky in the distance, and my heart was full of emotion and emotion.
"Look at this day, how beautiful it is. My wife took my hand with a soft look in her eyes.
"yes, it feels good to be reunited as a family. I said with emotion.
"We must cherish our family more in the future and stop arguing over some small things. My wife looked at me with love and anticipation in her voice.
I nodded, determination in my eyes.
On the way back to the city, I recalled this trip back to my hometown, and my heart was full of emotion. I have learned a lot that in this land, I am not only a successful person in the city, but also a son, a husband, and a father. My responsibility is not only for myself, but also for my family and that warm little home.
Back in the city, I started to work harder, stop wasting money, and spend more time with my family. My father also became smiling and no longer sullen. My wife and I have become more harmonious and warm because of this homecoming.
Home is the most loyal harbor that God has given us, and I am determined to use my own strength to protect the happiness of my family. Because I know that my mother's face is important, but the happiness of my family is even more important.
In the days that followed, I began to pay more attention to the importance of family and affection. Whenever I come home after a busy day and see my wife cooking dinner for us, I can't help but sigh: home is our warmest harbor, and family is always the most worthy of our efforts.
"Honey, are you working overtime again today?" asked my wife softly.
"Yes, it's a bit much, but it doesn't matter, when I come back and see you cooking, I feel very happy in my heart. I said, handing the parcel in my arms to my wife.
"What is this?" the wife opened curiously and found that it was a dress, and she looked at me in surprise: "Is it a new dress?"
"Yes, I thought the color of this dress suited you, so I bought it back. I laughed.
"Thank you, I love it. The wife smiled sweetly, and her eyes were full of happiness.
"Actually, what I want to say is that we should spend more time with our parents and give them more care in the future. I paused, "It also allows the children to feel the warmth of their families." Our happiness is not only the happiness of the two of us, but also the happiness of everyone in the family. ”
"Well, I agree, we should also spend more time with them and give them more love in the future. The wife nodded, "I also feel that the company of my family is really important." ”
I took her hand, and the two of us stood together on the balcony, looking out at the city at night. I feel fulfilled and at peace, and the happiness of my family has become my motivation to move forward.
At this time, the children pushed the door in, "Mom and Dad, today the teacher praised me for my good performance in class." ”
"Awesome, kid, you're awesome!" I crouched down and put my arms around him, encouraging him.
"Mom, my work has been selected to be displayed at the school art exhibition. Another child also said excitedly.
"Really? Great! You're so good!" the wife laughed happily.
Children are our pride and the hope of our family. Watching the children grow up, the complicated life in the city becomes simple and happy. I feel like I've become more mature and determined. I know that no matter what happens, my family will always be the most important presence in my life.
On weekends, we bring our children to the park and enjoy a warm family time together.
"Dad, you can skate with me!" The eldest son coquettishly took my hand, his eyes full of antiquity.
"Okay, come on, I'll teach you how to skate. "I picked up his skateboard and taught him with a serious face.
"Mom, are you swinging with me!" the youngest daughter also pulled the corner of his wife's clothes.
"Okay, let's go, let's go swing. As she spoke, the wife followed her little daughter to the swing.
Looking at the carefree smiles of the children, I felt an inexplicable happiness welling up in my heart. Family is like this, it is an inseparable emotion. Once again, I realized that no matter what challenges lie ahead, spending time with my family and giving me love is the most precious thing. I am grateful that trip back to my hometown for teaching me this understanding.
My wife looked at the children and said to me with a smile, "We should go out with our children often, so that their childhood will be happier." ”
"Well, yes, and our most important responsibility. I nodded deeply.
"In the future, we can also go back to our hometown more often, and let the children feel more about the customs of their hometown. The wife suggested.
"It's a great idea that we can let the kids know more about their hometown and also make more memories for ourselves. "I think so.
Our family of three had a great time this weekend. On the way home, I took my wife's hand and looked at the sunset, my heart full of longing and longing for home.
"My dear, this trip back to my hometown is a very valuable experience in my life. I now understand that the happiness of the family is the most important thing. I whispered to my wife.
"yes, that's what I think too. "My wife held my hand tightly.
When I got home, I opened the photo again, and when I saw my father's honest smile and my mother's gentle gaze, I felt a trace of emotion in my heart. It turned out that the trip back to my hometown not only made me understand the meaning of home more clearly, but also made me more deeply understand the true connotation of "my mother's face is important" phoenix man. I am determined to work and struggle harder, for the sake of my own family, and for the sake of the hometown that was once buried in my heart.
Since then, I have cherished my family and family even more, and I have also tried to be a better husband and a better father. This is the balance between career and family, and I see this balance as my life's pursuit and value. Because I know that the happiness of home will always be my greatest pursuit.
That day, I received a special letter. It was given to me by my wife.
"My dear, you often have no regrets about our family, and your dedication and love have always been in our hearts. Thank you for everything you do for us, we love you!" Sometimes a simple thank you is enough to make people feel satisfied.
"Lao Li, your work has been really good recently, ruthless enough. Colleague complimented.
"Thank you, but I think that work is not only about competition, but also about cooperation and care. The success of our team is the result of the joint efforts of everyone. I said from the bottom of my heart.
My colleagues cheered, everyone laughed openly, and I felt happy in this joy.
I also started volunteering in the community to help families in need. Every time I see others feel happy and grateful for my little help, I feel more fulfilled inside. I feel like a more complete person, and the happiness of my family has become my motivation for work.
Thinking about it, I felt the urge to cry. All along, my life has been bound by the idea that "my mother's face is important" phoenix man, but this trip back to my hometown has allowed me to regain the balance of my life. Family and work are not opposites, but complement each other, and I am no longer the one who struggles to "earn face".
I no longer live for the eyes of others, I want to live my life and be a happy, responsible, and caring man. This change comes from cherishing the family and from deep reflection on one's own heart. Every bit of happiness in life is a kind of happiness, and this happiness is the "face" that really belongs to me.
In the depths of my heart, the laughter of my childhood gradually returned. This inner peace and coziness no longer seem to have any worries. I opened the window and a breeze blew in, caressing my cheeks with a breath of freshness and warmth.
"Honey, shall we go and see the sea?" said the wife, suddenly with great interest.
"Okay, it's a good idea to see the sea, let's take the kids with us. I immediately applauded.
After a few hours of driving, we arrived in a seaside town.
"It's beautiful!" the children were thrilled to see the waves and sand on the beach.
"Mom and Dad, shall we go to the beach?" they pleaded.
"Go, let's go together. Our family of three came to the beach to enjoy the tranquility.
Walking on the beach and looking up at the starry sky, I felt emotional. I understand that I have to let go of the complexity and vanity of life and start enjoying the present and enjoying the beauty of life.
"The company of family is true happiness. The wife said quietly.
"Yes, I also deeply understand. In the past, I always felt that work and career were everything, but in fact, family was the most important motivation for me. I said with emotion.
"Let's stop worrying too much about ordinary things and enjoy the beauty of every moment. "My wife held my hand.
These words left a deep imprint on my heart. After returning home, I began to pay attention to communication with my family, enjoy the simple joys of every day, and began to grasp those ordinary and beautiful times. The company of family is the deepest wealth in the heart.
Every weekend, together with the children, we discover the corners of the city, taste the food, participate in activities and watch performances. I am willing to leave every moment to them, and every sweet smile is worth pursuing. The joy of happy companionship and companionship has become the warmest day after work.
Looking back on this life journey, I know that the most precious thing in life is love and companionship. The warmth of family is the most precious sunshine in our lives. That trip back to my hometown changed my view of family, and I began to pursue a true happiness, based on my family and relying on warmth, to find the peace and satisfaction in my heart.
Now I may still be busy, but I already have a harbor of my own in my heart, which is home and love.
