The furnishings of the home are as always, clean and tidy, and everything is in order. In the living room is a pair of carved mahogany chairs, carved by my father when he was young. There is a row of potted plants on the windowsill, full of greenery. Sheets were dried on the balcony, blown by the wind, and the smell of sunlight and fragrance was exuded. Although there are only two people in this family, my father and I take care of it warmly and lovingly.
It was a sunny day, and my father suddenly felt dizzy and I rushed him to the hospital. In the emergency room, my father said to me, "Son, life is so unpredictable, I may not live long." You have to live a good life, marry a good daughter-in-law in the future, and live a happy life. As he spoke, his eyes began to drift, and the doctor rushed to save him, but it was too late. My father left us like this, and I burst into tears and my heart was like a knife. Looking at my father's peaceful sleeping face, I knew he was relieved, but I never saw him again.
At first, I was a little wary of her, but watching her take care of the housework day after day, I gradually let go of the mustard in my heart. Once, when I accidentally spilled water on the floor, my stepmother quickly brought me a mop to wipe it clean and said to me, "Be careful, don't slip." "She is so considerate, my heart can't help but warm.
One day, the stepmother's son came to the house as a guest. He was about the age of his early twenties, burly, honest and honest. When he saw me, he said hello a little shyly. The stepmother's eyes flashed with happiness, she took her son's hand and said to me, "This is my son Xiao Ming, who will be your younger brother in the future." "
Xiao obviously listens to his stepmother, and no matter what his stepmother tells him to do, he will obediently complete it. Once, I saw Xiao Ming sitting in the living room in a daze, and my stepmother asked him to help in the kitchen. Xiao Ming immediately got up and clumsily washed and chopped vegetables in the kitchen. Although his stepmother disliked his clumsiness, she always had a doting look on her face.
I looked at it in my eyes and secretly sighed: This is the mother-son friendship between flesh and blood. I can't help but feel a sour feeling when I think that after my father's death, I can no longer enjoy this kind of friendship.
A week later, on the weekend, Xiao Ming suddenly called, and his tone was a little cramped: "Brother, are you free?
I was a little surprised by his invitation, and I couldn't help but feel more excited: Is there something you want to tell me? Or did my stepmother let him do it? I had all kinds of speculations swirling in my heart, but after all, I didn't refuse Xiao Ming's kindness and agreed.
After hanging up, I fell into deep thought. Since my stepmother came to our house, although my impression of her has become better and better, I still have a little bit of wariness in my heart. After all, we don't know much about her relationship with her father, and we don't know what motives she had for marrying her father.
All sorts of speculations came to my mind, did my stepmother have other intentions, did she plot the family property, or was she a liar who colluded with my father for money? I began to regret that I had agreed to Xiao Ming's invitation, but I felt that if I didn't go, I would have been haunted by these suspicions.
I flagged down a taxi and told the driver Xiao Ming's address. The driver drove the car and asked me about the situation from time to time: "Are you going to a relative's house? I nodded, thinking to myself that this was indeed a distant place, and if my stepmother really had any conspiracy, it would be more convenient to do bad things in such a remote place.
Driving to a suburb, I saw that the road was lined with simple houses, overgrown with weeds and dilapidated. My heart suddenly cooled half, this kind of place, is it too dangerous? Just when I was about to ask the driver to turn around, Xiao Ming suddenly appeared in front of the car and warmly beckoned me to get out of the car.
Xiao Ming enthusiastically asked me to follow him into a simple bungalow. The furnishings in the house are simple and shabby, and it can be seen that the family's life is quite poor. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty about how blind and paranoid those previous suspicions of my stepmother were.
My stepmother was busy in the kitchen, and when she saw me coming, she had a happy look on her face, and quickly put down her work, and came over to greet me warmly: "You're finally here! "
Xiao Ming pulled me to sit down at the table, and said to me excitedly: "Brother, although our family is simple, I have asked my stepmother to prepare some good dishes, you must try them!" With that, he rushed to the kitchen and helped his stepmother. Seeing the intimacy of their mother and son talking and laughing, my heart was filled with a warmth again.
The stepmother quickly brought a few home-cooked dishes, and the smell came to the nose. I couldn't help but ask, "Are you making these dishes?"
The stepmother smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's all my best dishes." Would you like to try it and see if it tastes your best?"
I sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs and put it in my mouth, the meat was crispy, the aroma was tangy, and the taste was really good. I couldn't stop nodding my head and complimenting, "It's delicious! It's much better than anything I make myself." "
Xiao Ming said with a smile on the side: "My mother is very good, she worked in a restaurant when she was young and learned a lot of cooking skills. In the future, if you don't like what you make is not delicious, let her make it for you!"
I couldn't help but blush a little when I heard this. As a boy, I was really ashamed to be told that cooking was not delicious. But looking at my stepmother and Xiao Ming's happy expressions, I was relieved.
When my stepmother saw that I was eating well, she asked me how my family was doing, and told me to eat more and not be too lonely. When I listened, I was deeply moved, and I couldn't help but think of my father's deathbed instructions. It seems that my father wants me to treat my stepmother as a real family.
Just as we were eating happily, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. We couldn't help but look out the door, only to see a strange man staggering in, the smell of alcohol coming from his body.
Xiao Ming quickly stood up, stood in front of me and my stepmother, and shouted to the man, "Who are you?
The man seemed to be irritated by his stepmother's words, and he suddenly let out a ridiculous laugh and walked towards us. Xiao Ming stepped forward and tried to stop him, but he pushed him away and fell heavily to the ground. I hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Ming, only to find that his forehead was bleeding.
Xiao Ming and I were both shocked by these words. It turned out that the embarrassed man in front of him was his stepmother's ex-husband and Xiao Ming's biological father. I looked at Xiao Ming, his eyes full of confusion and shock.
It turned out that the stepmother had suffered from domestic violence, so she had to leave her ex-husband with her son. I looked at Xiao Ming, his eyes dimmed, and he seemed to realize everything back then. The man, on the other hand, bowed his head and was embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, the man slowly raised his head, his eyes full of remorse and self-blame: "Yes, what I did back then really hurt your mother and son." If I hadn't been an alcoholic and had not been rough at that time, how could you have left me? Xiao Ming, can you forgive me?"
Xiao Ming stared at the man for a long time, his eyes were complicated. Finally, he shook his head lightly and said, "I can't forgive you." Although you are my biological father, you have hurt my dearest people, and I will never forgive you. "
The look on the stepmother's face was a little shaken, but in the end she shook her head firmly: "No, I'm married to someone else, and we get along very well. You're late, and the relationship between us has long since disappeared without a trace. "
In this way, a former family, shattered by one person's mistakes, finally has no possibility of reunion at all. I looked at my stepmother and Xiao Ming, and the two looked at each other and cried, as if they were mourning the pain of the year. I, on the other hand, watched all this quietly, my heart full of heaviness.
Looking at the back of the man leaving, I had mixed feelings in my heart. On the one hand, I feel sorry for the pain that my stepmother and Xiao Ming have suffered; On the other hand, I was also reflecting on how blind and unfair I was with those doubts and prejudices against my stepmother before.
Yes, I used to wonder if my stepmother had other agendas, if she was plotting for the family property, and even if she was a liar. But now it seems that she is nothing more than a poor woman, in order to escape the shadow of domestic violence, she had to leave her husband with her son, live incognito, and live a rather difficult life.
And the father, he must have seen through his stepmother's hardships before deciding to marry her and give her a stable home. What a wise choice my father made back then, he not only saved a poor woman, but also gave me a warm family.
When I think of this, I can't help but have infinite admiration for my father's compassion. Yes, he used his actions to illustrate how great and selfless a father's love for his children is. But I have the slightest suspicion and suspicion of his kindness, what a sin.
At this point, I looked at my stepmother, who was bowing her head and her eyes were dull, as if she was reminiscing about the past. I can imagine that she must have made a lot of determination to leave her abusive husband with her son.
She must have had to flee that home in order to give her son a safe environment. How much she loves her children, she will not hesitate to abandon everything and take her son to live such a simple and hard life.
And when she met her father, she must have seen his father's kindness and wisdom. So, she married her father without hesitation, hoping to give her son a complete family. She regarded my father as her lifesaver, and she loved me as if I were her own son.
Thinking of this, my admiration for my stepmother came naturally. Yes, she will do whatever it takes for her son; In order to give her son a complete home, she was willing to marry her father and be my stepmother. How great is her motherly love, and I was ashamed of her bitterness when I was suspicious of her kindness.
What happened gave me a whole new understanding of my stepmother. I watched her and Xiao Ming hug each other and cry, my heart full of sympathy and admiration for them.
As a mother, in order to give her child a safe environment, the stepmother did not hesitate to abandon everything and took Xiao Ming to live a rather difficult life. What a price she paid for the sake of her children. And Xiao Ming must have loved his mother deeply, so after hearing the man's explanation, he chose to forgive his mother without hesitation, rather than forgive the father who hurt their mother and son.
I looked at their hugging figures, and suddenly realized how pure and great the love between mother and son is that blood is thicker than water. No matter what hardships and hardships they encounter, as long as the love between mother and child exists, it is enough to give them the courage and strength to overcome everything.
Yes, that's how my father loved me, and he asked me to accept my stepmother before he died. He must have seen through his stepmother's great maternal love for her son, so he made up his mind to marry her and give her a warm home. And I, as my father's successor, should continue his legacy and love my stepmother and Xiao Ming with the same love.
So, I got up and walked over to my stepmother and Xiao Ming and hugged them tightly. I said to my stepmother, "Mom, with me in the future, your mother and son will never be wronged again." I will love Xiao Ming as my own brother, you are my dearest family. "
My stepmother and Xiao Ming were moved to tears by my actions. My stepmother stroked my head and said in a kind tone: "Good boy, you are really a good son with filial piety. The greatest luck in my life is that I met your father and met you, a good boy. From now on, we will be a family. "
From that day on, the three of us were truly a family and happy. I quit my job and started working at home with my stepmother and doing household chores. Xiao Ming also quit his job and was determined to re-study so that he could earn a decent job in the future and support his mother well.
Although our life is poor, it is extremely warm and happy. Every morning, I would wake up early in the morning to prepare a hearty breakfast for my stepmother and Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming will clumsily help on the side, although he is always clumsy by his stepmother, he always happily repeats the same mistakes.
At noon, I cook for everyone, and although I am unfamiliar with cooking, I try to learn my stepmother's skills and hope to make delicious home-cooked dishes like hers. Xiao Ming is always very popular, he will eat it in large gulps, and he can't stop praising it. The stepmother watched from the sidelines, always nodding frequently, with a kind face.
In the evenings, the three of us would sit side by side in the living room, talking and laughing. My stepmom would tell us little things about the family, and we would listen carefully and occasionally giggle. Xiao Ming sometimes tells us interesting things that happened in school, which makes us lean back and forth. In this way, in a warm atmosphere, we spent a peaceful night.
Sometimes, when I think of that embarrassed man, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart. Yes, if it weren't for his mistakes back then, their family of three would have lived a happy life. But fate often plays tricks on people like this, making them go through so much suffering, but in the end they still find their own happiness.
This incident has given me a lot of inspiration and understanding in life. I realized that life is often so twisted and full of endless suffering and tribulation. But as long as we have love for our loved ones, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and finally find our own happiness.
Just like the stepmother and Xiao Ming, they could have lived a happy and happy life, but because of that man's mistake, they had to go through the hardships of separation and escape. But it is precisely because of the mother-son love between them that they have the courage to face everything and finally find a new life.
And my father's love for me is so great and noble. Before he died, he asked me to accept my stepmother well, hoping that I could continue his legacy and love the family with the same love. It was his kindness that allowed me to finally let go of my prejudice against my stepmother, accept their mother and son sincerely, and give them the warmth of home.
Yes, love is the power to overcome all suffering. With love, we can find meaning and direction in life; With love, we can gain infinite courage and strength. As the old saying goes, "Those who love are full of everything; Without love, nothing can be accomplished". Only by treating our loved ones with love can we truly achieve happiness.
Looking back, I am immensely ashamed of my previous prejudices and suspicions. It was love that enabled me to finally recognize things for what they were, to see the pitiful and helpless mothers and their mothers and children. It was love that made me determined to accept them and become a family with them. And now, our family of three is happy, which is the best interpretation of love.
Yes, love is the most precious thing in the world, it can dissolve hatred, stop wars, and make our world a better place. As long as we treat everyone around us with love, this world will surely become a warm home. With love, we have everything; Without love, we have nothing. So, let's learn to treat the world with love!
