In a certain corner of the ancient town, Wangcai's teahouse is always bustling. Every table, every chair in the teahouse, seems to carry countless stories and secrets. On this afternoon, the sunlight poured through the gaps in the wooden windows and dappled onto the wooden floor, adding a touch of warmth to this peaceful corner.
Wangcai sat behind the counter, making tea while keeping an eye on the movement in the teahouse. Suddenly, a violent quarrel broke the quiet atmosphere. He looked up and saw a middle-aged couple standing in a corner of the teahouse, blaming each other with grim faces.
"You always say I don't understand you, so have you understood me?" the wife yelled angrily.
"I've done so much for you, but you've always found fault with me!" retorted the husband, not to be outdone.
Wangcai frowned, he was no stranger to the couple, they were regular visitors to the teahouse, but they had been arguing frequently over trivial matters recently. He is well aware that quarrels between husband and wife often stem from seemingly trivial things, but if left untreated, these small things can eventually accumulate into irreparable rifts.
He put down the teapot in his hand, slowly walked up to the couple, and said gently, "Two of you, sit down and have a cup of tea first." If you have anything to say, speak slowly. ”
Although the two were still angry, they still sat down under Wangcai's persuasion. Wangcai poured tea for them, and then sat quietly on the sidelines, waiting for them to talk.
As the fragrance of tea spreads, the wife's mood gradually calms down. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "You know what? The last thing I can stand is when you say I don't understand you. Every time you encounter a problem, you choose to avoid it and never communicate with me, how can I understand you?"
The husband was also silent for a moment, and then whispered, "I admit that I do not do well enough sometimes. But I also have my own problems. I'm really tired from working hard outside every day and coming home to face your accusations and complaints. ”
Wangcai listened quietly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He understands that the quarrel between the couple is actually because they have not learned how to express their emotions and needs correctly. They are both hurting each other in their own way, and those hurts are often deeper than any words.
He sighed softly and said, "Actually, the most hurtful words between husband and wife are often those unintentional words. For example, 'you always didn't understand me', 'you never cared about me', 'you've changed, you're not the same person you used to be'...... These words may not sound serious, but they can pierce the other person's heart deeply. ”
Both husband and wife bowed their heads, as if reflecting on their words and actions. Wangcai continued: "Husbands and wives should understand and tolerate each other. When we encounter problems, we should learn to communicate openly and honestly, rather than solving them with accusations and complaints. Only in this way can we face the challenges of life together and go through every obstacle hand in hand. ”
As Wangcai's words fell, there was a brief silence in the teahouse. The husband and wife glanced at each other, and they both seemed to read a trace of apology and understanding in each other's eyes. They drank tea silently, as if savoring the words of prosperity.
After a while, my wife raised her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I may have really gone too far." I should have understood you a little more. ”
The husband also nodded and said, "I'm also at fault." I will try to change myself and never let you down again. ”
Wangcai looked at them with a smile and felt a hint of relief in his heart. He knew that the couple had taken the first step towards repairing their relationship. He believes that as long as they are willing to manage this marriage with their hearts, they will be able to regain the happiness and sweetness of the past.
In Wangcai's teahouse, a different story is told every day. But no matter how the story changes, Wangcai always sticks to this small teahouse, using cups of hot tea and warm words to bring hope and comfort to everyone who walks here. And in the process, he also gained countless life insights and wisdom.
This story teaches us that it is not easy for couples to get along with each other. But as long as we understand each other with our hearts, tolerate each other, and communicate openly, we can overcome all difficulties and create a happy future together. And those hurtful words that have been said will also become a warning and lesson on the road of our growth, reminding us to cherish each other more and manage this hard-won marriage more diligently.
