"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Lei, I am 35 years old, and I am an engineer in a manufacturing company. I greeted everyone with a smile, still a little uneasy in my heart.
"Actually, what I want to share with you today is a real thing that happened to me. This incident once put me in a huge predicament, and it also made me reflect on the meaning of life and the preciousness of family affection. "
I took a deep breath and tried to hide the turmoil inside, my hands subconsciously rubbing against my trouser legs.
"I was born into an ordinary family, my father was a worker, and my mother was a housewife. Ever since I was a child, I have witnessed my parents working hard to provide for their families. "
"You see, your dad works so hard every day, just to give you a good future. Mother used to say that.
I nodded, knowing in my heart the kindness of my parents. Although my family was not well-off, I never felt the complaints of my parents, but I felt their dedication and love for me.
At that time, I made up my mind that I would give my parents a better life in the future.
After graduating from university, I got my wish to work in a good company, and my job was getting better. That's when my parents came to my house out of the blue and said they were moving in with us.
"Lei Lei, you are such a big person, it is time to start a family. The father said earnestly, "You young people can't earn much money, and we will have to rely on you to support our old age in the future." "
Mother also nodded: "Yes, you take us over to live, we don't have to rent a house by ourselves, and you can take care of us." "
I was taken aback by my parents' request. I just bought this house, and I'm still worried about the mortgage, where do I have the spare money to support my parents? And my wife and I are just getting back on track, and with one more couple of elderly people at home, our lifestyles are going to change.
"Mom and Dad, I've only been working for a few years, and I'm still trying to make money and buy a house, how can I support you all at once?" I explained with some anxiety.
"What do you say? We have brought you up, but we have given you all the savings of the family, and we expect you to be able to support us in the future!" The father seemed a little angry.
"That is, you should be grateful to us, if we hadn't given you all the money, where would you have the money to buy such a good house?" Mother echoed.
A heinous thought flashed through my mind: Do they expect to exhaust the savings of our generation, and when we are old, the next generation will support us?
"You young people are not sensible, we can only count on you when we are old. The father said, his face full of helplessness, "We gave you all the money, just hoping that you can live a good life in the future and can support our old people." "
The mother also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we have given you all the savings of the family, you should be grateful and honor us." "
Looking at the expressions on my parents' faces, I seemed to be able to relate to their thoughts. In their minds, giving money to their children means that children are obligated to support their parents forever.
But I really can't do it. I'm still young, I'm on the rise in my career, and I need to do my best. If my parents did move in with us, my wife and I would have our lives completely disrupted. What's more, we still want children in the future, and with two more elderly people in the family, the focus of our future lives will undoubtedly change dramatically.
I looked at my wife, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed. I know that although she didn't say it directly, she knew in her heart the difficulty of this matter.
"But Mom and Dad, my current income is really not enough to support you. I tried to explain, "And we still want children in the future, and if we have two more elderly people in the family, our future life will become very difficult." "
The wife finally spoke: "Mom and Dad, I understand your feelings, but what Lei Lei said is right. It is true that our current economic conditions do not allow us to fully cover your living expenses. However, even if you don't live with us, we will do our best to support your life. "
"That's right, you old people are working too hard at home, and we will arrange a good living environment for you in the future. I hurriedly followed.
But the parents didn't seem to listen at all, and still held on to their thoughts.
"You guys, you're just not filial! We gave you all the money, but you didn't even agree to our little request, it's too unreasonable!" My father suddenly yelled, and his face turned red.
"That's right, you guys are like this, you only know how to spend our money, but you never want to support our old people!" The mother also cried and cried.
"Mom and Dad, you're going too far!" I was also enraged, "Can't you see the environment in which we live now? We're just starting out now, where can we be able to completely take care of your life? Besides, don't we just give you money?"
"Hmph, you won't support us when you make money in the future, you will only spend it yourself!" Father said angrily.
"You, that's it, never respect our old people! We are so pitiful in our lives, we have given you all the money, but you don't even have any filial piety!" The mother hid her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
When my father saw this, tears welled up in his red eyes.
I fell to my knees and looked at my parents' red eyes, tears rolling in my eyes.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I was so selfish. You've done so much for me, and I'm always thinking about myself. From now on, I will definitely do my best to honor you, so that you can have something to provide for and enjoy your old age in peace. "
My parents were taken aback by my actions and were silent for a while.
At this moment, my wife stepped forward and helped me up. She said gently: "Mom and Dad, Lei Lei is telling the truth. From now on, we will definitely do our best to honor you and provide for you in old age. Just move in with us and we'll make your living environment comfortable. "
The parents were moved by their wife's words, and the anger on their faces gradually dissipated.
"Lei Lei, we are too selfish. The father sighed and said a much softer, "We old people must learn to be content, you are the younger generation, and you deserve to have your own life." As long as you do your best, we will be content. "
"yes, we're just too headstrong. The mother also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You must live well in the future, we old people don't ask for anything, you just need to come back to see us often." "
In this way, a family conflict that almost broke out was over. I looked at my parents with emotion, and my heart was mixed.
Since then, my relationship with my parents has changed 180 degrees. I began to be more considerate of my parents' thoughts and cherish every moment I spent with them.
"Lei Lei, what do you think of this new sweater I made?" My mother happily showed me her handicrafts.
I smiled and said, "Mom, it's nice, it's beautiful." With that, I kissed my mother.
The mother smiled happily with a happy look on her face.
I also realized how important family harmony is. If our family relationship is in a constant state of tension, how miserable our lives will be.
Once, when my wife and I had an argument over a trivial matter, my father quickly pulled us aside and said, "You young people, don't always worry about these little things. Harmony between husband and wife is the most important thing, and only when you love each other will your life be happy. "
I was taught, and my wife and I cherished each other more and tried to avoid arguments.
It also made me realize how important financial independence is for a person. Without an economic foundation, it is difficult for us to have true freedom. It is precisely because I have a certain amount of financial strength that I am able to maintain my principles and dignity in the conflict with my parents.
I started working harder, hoping to pay off my mortgage as soon as possible and prepare for the future. Sometimes when I work late and my wife calls me and tells me, "Don't work too hard, your body is the most important thing." I would smile and reply, "Don't worry, I'm measured." "
Through this, I also realized the importance of money in family life. Although money is not everything, without an economic foundation, families can easily get into trouble. I am determined to create more wealth for my family and build a solid foundation for my future life.
After a few years, I finally paid off my mortgage and my family's financial situation improved. One day, I happily said to my parents, "Mom and Dad, let's move! I have found you a house with a good environment, and you will definitely like it." "
The parents nodded happily, their expressions revealing infinite happiness. I took my wife's hand and looked at their kind faces, filled with gratitude.
The new house is not too far from us and is a beautiful neighbourhood. Our parents were very happy and praised us for being considerate. His wife carefully helped them decorate their new home, and everything was in order.
And just like that, our lives were back on track. It's just that this time, we both cherish each other more and understand each other more.
"Lei Lei, I'm so glad you can be my son. "One day, my father said to me in a rare way.
I smiled and replied, "Yes, Dad, I'm also glad to have such good parents as you." "
My heart is full of happiness and gratitude. Yes, family affection is the most precious gift in the world, and we should cherish it. And family harmony is also the greatest source of happiness and strength in our lives.
Looking back on this journey, I have gained so much. I learned to be independent and self-reliant, and I learned to use my own strength to create a happy life; I have also learned to be considerate and tolerant, and I have learned to cherish family affection.
Although the road of life is tortuous, as long as we treat the people around us with a grateful heart and love, we will be able to be happy and healthy. Just like my family and I, we went through all kinds of twists and turns, and finally found the meaning and direction of life.
So, let's learn to be grateful, tolerant and cherish together! Only by treating life with love, life will love you; Only by treating relatives with love will family affection be eternal. May all families be like us, find their own happiness and strength in the wind and rain!
Life after moving has brought new joys to our whole family. My parents made a lot of friends near their new home, and they went for a walk in the park or met to play chess and cards. Sometimes they invite us to come along, and my wife and I stay with them.
"Lei Lei, what do you think of my newly learned move?" My father would triumphantly show me his skills.
In this way, our lives are getting better. I work hard, and my wife has made new progress in her career. And the parents are living a carefree old age in a new environment.
Sometimes, I sit on the balcony of my home and gaze at the sunset. The warm rays of light seem to tell the meaning and value of life.
I think of the family conflict many years ago, although it once made me feel helpless and painful, but in the end it made me understand the value of family affection and the importance of family harmony. It was because of that ordeal that I was able to truly grow and move towards a new stage of life.
Yes, life is like that, full of endless twists and turns. But as long as we have a grateful heart and treat the people around us with love, we will definitely be able to find light in the haze. Just like our family, we finally found our own path to happiness.
"Lei Lei, what are you doing in a daze?" My wife's voice pulled me back to reality.
I turned around and looked at my wife's gentle face, and my heart was filled with tenderness. Yes, it was because of her support and understanding that I was able to go through those difficult years strongly.
I gently put my arms around my wife and imprinted a kiss on her forehead: "It's nothing, I just thought, our family is so happy." "
The wife smiled knowingly and nodded. Her eyes are full of expectations for her future life.
I believe that as long as we treat life with love, life will love us; As long as we cherish each other, happiness will always be with us.
Although the journey of life is tortuous, as long as we have kindness and love for each other, we will definitely be able to find our own happiness and strength. Just like my family and I, we met the meaning of life in the wind and rain, and found the courage to move forward in the struggle.
So, let's all learn to be grateful and tolerant, treat our friends and relatives with love, and treat the world with kindness. Only in this way can we harvest our own joy and hope in the long river of life!
