My name is Su Wan, and I am an ordinary girl from a small town, and there are only my father Su Ming and me at home. My mother died when I was very young, so my father raised me alone. Despite not having a rich life, our home is full of love and warmth. I have been my father's little padded jacket since I was a child, and our relationship is very deep.
Two years ago, I married my college classmate Li Hao, who is a city man, smart, gentle, and very kind to me. Soon after we got married, we had a lovely son named Li Chen. According to custom, children take their father's surname, which seems to me to be a matter of course. Although my father was a little disappointed, he never showed it, and always smiled and said that as long as our family was happy, it would be fine.
Last week, my father passed away due to illness, and the news came like a bolt from the blue for me. The death of my father was a huge blow to me, and I couldn't even get out of this grief for a few days. Li Hao has been by my side to support me during this time, and I feel very grateful for his warmth.
However, while I was still struggling with grief, Li Hao made a request that I didn't expect. This morning, while we were preparing breakfast in the kitchen, he suddenly said, "Wanwan, I have an idea, I don't know if you will agree." ”
I stopped what I was doing and looked at him curiously: "What do you think? ”
Li Hao took a deep breath and said seriously: "I'm wondering if you can change Chenchen's surname to Su, so that your father's surname can be continued." I was stunned, I didn't expect him to make such a request. I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.
I asked him, "Have you really figured this out, will your family agree?"
Li Hao nodded: "I have already talked to them, although they were a little surprised at first, but in the end they all expressed their understanding and support." I know this request is a bit sudden, but I think it's the best way to honor your father. ”
I was deeply touched by this affection and understanding. At this moment, I realized that Li Hao is not only a good husband, but also a person who knows how to respect and understand me. My eyes moistened, and I nodded in agreement.
We quickly started the process of changing our surname. This decision caused quite a stir among our relatives and friends, some for and some against, but we all explained one by one and insisted on our decision.
It was in the process that something unexpected happened. Li Hao's father suddenly found me, and he looked a little serious. I thought he was here to oppose our decision, but I didn't expect him to say, "Su Wan, I know you have decided to change Chenchen's surname. Actually, there's something I haven't told you all about......"
It turned out that Li Hao's father was greatly helped by my father for some reasons when he was young. At that time, they were very good friends, but later lost contact due to some misunderstandings. Knowing today, he realized that his daughter-in-law turned out to be the daughter of his friend many years ago.
After hearing this story, I was shocked and deeply moved. I didn't expect that life would tie our destinies together in such a way. Li Hao's father said that he was very supportive of our decision to change our surname, and he believed that it was a continuation of fate.
Things were eventually resolved satisfactorily in ways we didn't expect. After the formalities for changing the surname were completed, our family went to my father's grave and told him about the decision. I am sure that His Spirit in Heaven will be happy and proud of us.
This incident made me deeply appreciate the warmth of family and the incredibleness of life. I know that no matter what happens in the future, as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome all difficulties and challenges. I also cherish this deep affection with Li Hao and his family, and I believe that this will be the most precious treasure in our lives.
