Looking back on that difficult decision, I still regret it. It was when I had just gotten married, and I was fortunate enough to get a place to help Xinjiang. This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for an ordinary family like ours. But at that time, I hesitated again and again, and finally gave up the place to my colleague Zhang Wei.
That day, when my wife Wang Hong and I discussed this matter, she also supported me to go to Xinjiang, but in the end, we were still worried about the burden of life at home. We have just bought a house, we have to repay the loan, and my wife's salary is not too high, so if I go to Xinjiang, I am afraid it will bring a lot of financial pressure to my family. Coupled with the fact that we were planning to have a child, I really couldn't let go of these worries, and finally decided to give up the place to Zhang Wei. My dear, although this opportunity to help Xinjiang is rare, we are now preparing to have children, and the burden on the family will be heavier. I really can't let go of these worries, so let's let Zhang Wei go. I said cautiously to my wife. I know it's going to be tough for you, but we do need to settle down now. I support your decision, and I am confident that as long as we are united, we will get through this. Wang Hong gently held my hand, her eyes full of understanding and support.
I nodded gratefully thank you, Honghong. With you by my side, I can make such a choice.
After that, I found Zhang Wei and told him the news. He also hesitated for a long time, because this spot was also a rare opportunity for him. However, in the end, he accepted the task and went to Xinjiang to provide support. Li Ming, I know that this opportunity is also important to you. But I believe that you need to take care of your family more now, and I am still single, which is a good opportunity for development. However, if there's anything you need help with in the future, be sure to let me know. Zhang Wei patted me on the shoulder, his eyes full of sincerity. Zhang Wei, thank you very much for understanding my situation. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to make a difference in Xinjiang and lay a solid foundation for your own career development. I said from the bottom of my heart.
In the days that followed, our family of three lived a fairly peaceful life. My wife's salary is enough to support the family, and with my teacher's salary, we can also live a well-off life. My daughter was also born during this period, and our family lived a very loving and happy life.
My dear, do you remember the incident 10 years ago when I gave up the quota for Xinjiang aid to Zhang Wei? I can't help but mention this incident.
Wang Hong put down the book in his hand, looked at me and said seriously: Remember, it was a difficult choice. We thought about it again and again, and finally chose family.
I sighed: yes, we were really thinking about our families at that time. But looking back now, I still feel a little regretful.
Wang Hong stretched out her hand and held my hand: That opportunity was indeed rare, but we chose each other and family, and I think it was right. We're doing well now, my daughter is healthy and happy, and I don't regret it at all.
I nodded slightly: I know, and I understand the choice at the time. It's just that occasionally I still think of that opportunity and feel a little regretful. However, seeing you and my daughter, I also feel that we made the right decision.
Wang Hong smiled and said: Yes, although our life is not so rich now, it is very fulfilling and happy. I believe that as long as we continue to move forward hand in hand, there will be a better future.
Listening to my wife's words, I also felt a little relieved in my heart. Yes, we missed that opportunity, but what we have now is the most precious. I held Wang Hong's hand tightly, and my heart was full of gratitude.
At this moment, a bell rang, and it was a call from Zhang Wei. I was a little surprised that I hadn't contacted him for a long time. I picked up the phone, and a familiar voice came to my ear.
Li Ming, long time no see! How are you doing lately? Zhang Wei's voice was full of joy.
I said gratefully: Thank you, Zhang Wei. My daughter is six years old and very well-behaved and cute. We had a very happy family life.
Zhang Wei smiled and said: That is really good! Li Ming, I remember that I accepted your quota for Xinjiang aid back then, and now I think about it is also a good experience. But listening to you say that, I think your life is also very fulfilling now.
I nodded: yes, we missed that opportunity, but now we are doing well as a family. I'm also glad that you can make a difference in Xinjiang.
Zhang Wei said: That's really good! Li Ming, I called this time to invite your family to come to Xinjiang to have fun, I can arrange everything, you just have to come.
I was a little surprised, but I gladly accepted the invitation: great, our family will definitely go. It's been a long time since we've been out on a trip, so this is the perfect time to relax.
After hanging up, I shared the news with Wang Hong, and she was also very happy. We can't wait to start preparing for this trip, looking forward to seeing friends we haven't seen in years, and hoping that this trip will allow us to relax and enjoy our families.
Finally, our family of three embarked on a journey to Xinjiang. When we got off the plane, Zhang Wei had been waiting at the airport for a long time. He greeted us warmly with a happy smile on his face.
Li Ming, Wang Hong, long time no see! I'm so glad you can come! Zhang Wei hugged us warmly.
I also happily responded: Zhang Wei, long time no see! We are also very happy to come. This trip was such a rare one for us.
Wang Hong also smiled and said: Yes, we haven't traveled for a long time. We are all very excited to come to Xinjiang this time.
Zhang Wei said happily: That's great! I've already arranged the itinerary, let's go to my house first, my mother is also looking forward to meeting you.
We followed Zhang Wei to his home, where his mother warmly welcomed us. Our family and Zhang Wei's family quickly got along and chatted about the past.
Mom, do you still remember when Li Ming gave me the quota for Xinjiang aid? Zhang Wei said with a smile.
Zhang Wei's mother nodded: Remember, it was a rare opportunity. But you were hesitant at the time, but you finally accepted.
I was a little embarrassed to say: I'm sorry, I was the one who let Zhang Wei accept this opportunity.
Zhang Wei's mother hurriedly said: There is nothing to apologize for, the choices you made at that time were all correct. Now it seems that your family is also living happily.
Wang Hong smiled and said: Yes, although we missed that opportunity, what we have now is the most precious.
This trip to Xinjiang made me feel the long-lost family affection and warmth. Our family chatted with Zhang Wei's family for a long time and regained a friendship that we hadn't seen for many years.
Zhang Wei smiled and said yes, the students here are very well-behaved, and I also like to get along with them. However, when I first came to Xinjiang, I also had some difficulties and struggles.
Wang Hong whispered that it was not easy to adapt to the new environment and find a sense of belonging here. We were worried that you wouldn't fit in.
Zhang Wei smiled and said yes, your worries were justified at the beginning. But now it seems that everything is going well. I've had a lot of fun working here and I've made a lot of good friends.
Hearing Zhang Wei's words, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Ten years ago, I gave him this opportunity, and now he has been here for many years, living a full and happy life. I'm really happy for him.
I patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said sincerely, Zhang Wei, I am very happy for you. I gave you this opportunity, and now it seems that you have found your own career and life here.
Zhang Wei smiled and said Li Ming, all of this is thanks to your support and understanding at the beginning. If you hadn't given up my spot, I might still be standing still. Being able to come to Xinjiang is indeed a great opportunity for me.
Zhang Wei nodded yes, there were indeed many challenges at first. But as long as I persevered, I slowly overcame everything. For example, I didn't know much about the local culture and customs at first, and sometimes I made mistakes in some details. But through the interaction with the locals, I gradually got used to it.
Wang Hong agrees that cultural differences are indeed a big challenge. However, as long as you study and integrate with your heart, I believe you will be able to adapt quickly.
Zhang Wei smiled and said yes, now I have basically integrated into the local life. I've also made a lot of good friends and we all get along very well.
Hearing Zhang Wei's words, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Ten years ago, I gave him this opportunity, and now he has been here for many years, living a full and happy life. I'm so happy for him.
Our family visited the school and then went to Zhang Wei's house. His mother warmly welcomed us, and our family chatted with Zhang Wei's family, feeling the long-lost family affection and warmth. Mom, do you remember when Li Ming gave me the quota for Xinjiang aid Zhang Wei said suddenly.
Zhang Wei's mother nodded and remembered, it was a rare opportunity. But you were hesitant at the time, but you finally accepted.
I was a little embarrassed to say sorry, but I was the one who let Zhang Wei accept this opportunity.
Zhang Wei's mother hurriedly said that there was nothing to apologize for, and the choices you made at that time were all correct. Now it seems that your family is also living happily.
Wang Hong smiled and said yes, although we missed that opportunity, what we have now is the most precious.
Zhang Wei's mother nodded Yes, it seems that you are all doing well now. I'm so happy for you.
Our family chatted for a long time at Zhang Wei's house and felt the long-lost family affection and warmth. This trip allowed us to regain friendships that we hadn't seen in many years, and it also made me realize that even if I missed the opportunity at the beginning, as long as I cherish the happiness of the present, I will definitely have a better future.
After returning home, Wang Hong and I talked about how I felt about the trip. I was very touched by this trip. I said that I gave the opportunity to Zhang Wei ten years ago, and now it seems that he has been rooted here for many years and has lived a full and happy life.
Wang Hong held my hand and whispered yes, although we missed that opportunity, what we have now is the most precious. We have a happy family and that's all that matters.
I nodded, and you're right. We missed an opportunity, but what we have now is the most precious. We love each other as a family, and that's the most important thing.
This trip to Xinjiang made me realize the true meaning of life again, and also made me cherish the good times now. After returning home, Wang Hong and I cherish each other more and are more grateful for the happy life we have.
I was a little embarrassed to say that we didn't go because of the situation at home. But Uncle Zhang is doing well there now, and we're very happy.
The daughter nodded, her eyes full of curiosity, but Dad, don't you feel sorry? That opportunity sounds good.
I patted my daughter's head and said mildly, yes, that opportunity was indeed good. But at that time we chose family, and we felt that was the most important thing. In retrospect, we made the right choice.
Wang Hong also joined in, patiently explaining yes, baby. Dad didn't go because he needed to take care of our family. We missed an opportunity, but what we have now is what is most precious.
My daughter nodded thoughtfully, so that's the case, I understand. Mom and Dad made the choice for the sake of our family.
I smiled and said yes, baby. We were really thinking about our families, not for our own fame and fortune. Looking back now, I don't really have any regrets.
Our daughter held out her little hand to us, and we hugged each other tightly as a family. At this warm moment, I felt happiness and satisfaction like never before. We missed an opportunity, but what we have now is what is most valuable.
Just then, the cell phone rang. I picked up the phone, and it was Zhang Wei calling. Li Ming, long time no see! How have you been lately Zhang Wei's voice was full of excitement. Zhang Wei, long time no see! Our family is very good. I replied with a smile.
I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Zhang Wei to have opened his own school. Great! We can come over this weekend, if you can, can you arrange it, great! Then I'll wait for you to come to Xinjiang this weekend, and I'll arrange everything. Zhang Wei said excitedly.
After hanging up, I told Wang Hong and my daughter the news. Everyone was very happy and couldn't wait to visit Zhang Wei's new school.
This weekend, our family embarked on another journey to Xinjiang. When we arrived at Zhang Wei's new school, he was waiting for us warmly at the school gate. Li Ming, Wang Hong, daughter, welcome to my new school Zhang Wei greeted us with a smile.
I looked at the modern school in front of me in amazement, and couldn't help but say Zhang Wei, this school is really amazing!
Zhang Wei proudly said yes, this school is my hard work for many years. I hope to provide a better educational environment for the children here.
We followed Zhang Wei to visit the whole school and felt his enthusiasm and pursuit for education. In the classroom, we saw the children studying seriously, and we couldn't help but feel proud of Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei, you've done a really good job here. I'm so happy for you. I say it sincerely.
Zhang Wei smiled and said thank you, Li Ming. If it weren't for your support, I might still be standing still. The establishment of this school is also thanks to your understanding and help.
Wang Hong also agreed and said yes, Zhang Wei. You've achieved so much here, and we're so proud of you.
Zhang Wei touched his daughter's head dotingly, and when you grow up, you can come here to go to school. I'll take good care of you when the time comes.
Our family visited Zhang Wei's school for a long time and felt his dedication and love for education. All of this makes me feel very relieved and proud.
After leaving school, we had dinner together as a family at Zhang Wei's house. At the dinner table, we talked about the past and lamented the changes in life. Li Ming, I really appreciate you for giving me that opportunity at the beginning. If it weren't for your support, I might still be standing still. Zhang Wei said sincerely.
I shook his hand and said Zhang Wei, my original choice was indeed not wrong. I'm really proud of you to see how much you've accomplished here now.
Wang Hong also smiled and said yes, Zhang Wei. You have been here for many years and are living a fulfilling and happy life. We're happy for you.
