My name is Li Ming, and I am an ordinary office worker, 28 years old. Since graduating from university, I have been working for this foreign-owned company, and although the pressure is not small, the income is decent.
My family is a typical middle-class family, my father works in a state-owned enterprise, and my mother is a housewife. Due to my humble family background, my parents taught me to be diligent and thrifty and study hard since I was a child. They want to change the fate of the family through the success of our children.
I have a third sister who is 5 years older than me. She has a bold and straightforward personality, is decisive in her work, and is the most capable one in the family. She has been very independent since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been very good. Now she is married, has children, and is living her ideal life.
One day when I got home from work, I was about to rest, and my phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID was the third sister.
"Hey, third sister, what's wrong?" I picked up the phone, a little confused.
"Ah, I just bought some daily necessities, and I didn't have much money. I subconsciously explained.
Last time I went to visit my mother, I found that there were a lot of new things in the house, and they looked very valuable. Don't be such a loser all the time, learn to think about yourself. The third sister said earnestly.
The third sister's words made me think back to some things in the past. Although our family is not wealthy, our parents have never been sloppy in the education of our three children. They always keep the best for us, but they are frugal.
I remember when I was a child, my parents would always buy us some new clothes or toys for Chinese New Year or birthday. Although those things may seem ordinary in the eyes of others, we all cherish them. I often saw my mother in old clothes, but she always watched us play happily with a look of relief.
When I went to college, I used to say a lot of arrogant things to my parents, thinking that they were too conservative and backward in their thinking. But then I realized that everything they did was just so that we could live a better life in the future.
"You have to study hard so that you can have a good life in the future. "My father used to tell us that.
"Dad, I want to learn computer science and become a programmer in the future. "Once, I said to my father.
"Computers? That's a promising industry. The father nodded, his eyes full of relief, "As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to find a good job in the future." "
Looking at my father's expectant eyes, my heart was filled with motivation. I made up my mind that I would learn how to use computers and repay my parents for raising me in the future.
My father patted me on the shoulder with a kind smile on his face. I nodded vigorously, my eyes steadfast.
While my parents' expectations made me feel pressured, I was more grateful. It was because of their expectations that I had the motivation to fight.
"Well, I'll do my best. As long as I have a future interest, I will definitely give you a better life. I said firmly to my parents.
"Silly boy, we just want you to live happily ever after. Mother said softly, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing the tears in my mother's eyes, my heart was mixed. My parents' love is so pure and selfless, and I swear in my heart that I must let them live a carefree life from now on.
I stepped forward and hugged my mother, my eyes moistening slightly. My mother reached out and gently patted me on the back and patted me comfortingly.
Although the third sister is very good to me, sometimes her approach also makes me a little incomprehensible.
"Third sister, why are you always so strict with us? Once, I said to her with some dissatisfaction.
"Now is a good time for you to struggle, how can you slack off? When you have a chance in the future, you can naturally live a decent life. The third sister said earnestly.
After listening to the third sister's words, I was a little unimpressed. I think there should be pursuits in life, but you can't always work hard, you have to relax and relax.
I pursed my lips and looked at the third sister with some disbelief. The third sister frowned, her face full of seriousness.
After graduating from university, I got my wish and joined a foreign company. However, the pressure of work is far greater than I imagined.
"Mom and Dad, I've been so tired from work lately, I really want to quit my job and change to an easier job. "Once, I said weakly to my parents.
"Are you crazy? If you resign, you will have lost all your efforts! You must learn to endure hardships and stand hard work, so that you can be productive in the future!" My father reprimanded me severely.
"Yes, now is a good time for you to struggle, how can you just give up?" Mother echoed.
Hearing my parents' words, I suddenly felt a strong wave of rebellion in my heart. I felt that they couldn't understand my hardships at all, and just blindly demanded that I continue to suffer.
I clenched my fists tightly, my brow furrowed. When my father saw this, his face turned pale. The atmosphere was at a stalemate.
At this moment, the third sister called at the right time.
"Obviously, don't be discouraged. The hard work of the present is for the future, and you have to persevere. The third sister said seductively.
"But I'm so tired, I won't be able to hold it any longer. I said with some frustration.
"Think of it as a workout, and you'll be able to master it in the future. Besides, hard work is worth it. The third sister said earnestly.
After listening to the words of the third sister, my mood gradually calmed down. What she said does make sense, and what you pay now will eventually pay for what you will gain in the future. I felt a little remorse for my impulsiveness.
I took a deep breath and my face softened slightly. Seeing this, the third sister also showed a look of relief. Seeing that we seemed to have reconciled, my parents finally let go of their worries.
The third sister's words made me start to reflect on my thoughts and actions.
I sat on the bed with my hands on my knees, contemplative. Occasionally, he nodded his head and seemed to have a new understanding of his own thoughts.
After much deliberation, I made up my mind to keep going.
I told myself that now was the time for me to fight, and that I must not give up halfway. As long as I work hard enough, I will be able to live a decent life in the future and repay my parents for raising me.
I clenched my fists tightly, and my eyes were steadfast. I stood up and took a deep breath, as if I had made up my mind.
"You kid, you've finally grown up. The third sister smiled and said, "I knew that you would understand sooner or later." "
"Yes, I used to be too short-sighted, and I only saw the suffering in the present and neglected the long-term development. I said with emotion.
Talking to the third sister, my mood became more calm. I realized that the third sister had always been the one who understood me, and her persuasion was all for my good. I am so lucky to have such a caring sister as her.
Through this experience, I also better understand how deep and persistent my parents' love is.
I began to put myself in my parents' shoes. After all, they are for our good, but the expression is a little blunt. Everything they do is out of love and expectation for us.
I looked at the third sister with gratitude in my eyes. The third sister smiled knowingly, reached out and patted me on the shoulder, as if she had new expectations for me.
When I got home, I reached out to my parents and wanted to talk about it.
"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, I was too willful before, and I made you sad. I said sincerely.
"Silly child, this is the love of parents, I hope you can be happy. Mother said softly, her eyes filled with tears.
"Yes, as long as you can have a good time, we are content. My father finally smiled.
Since then, I've been hungry for work.
I told myself that what I was working on now was for a better life in the future. As long as I persevere, one day I will be able to live a decent life and let my parents live without worry.
When I work, I look at the group photo of my parents from time to time, and my eyes are firm and warm. Whenever I get stuck in a difficult job, I think of my parents' expectations and get back motivated.
I sincerely apologized to my parents, and they were finally relieved.
"Mom, Dad, I'm so willful that I've made you sad, I'm really sorry. I say sincerely.
"Child, the love of parents is like this, I hope you can be happy and healthy. Mother said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Yes, as long as you're having fun, we have nothing to regret. My father finally smiled with relief.
Seeing my parents' expressions of relief at last, my heart was extremely relieved. I realized that their love was so pure and persistent that I should cherish it. In the past, I was too short-sighted to see the suffering in front of me and ignore their expectations of me.
I stepped forward and hugged my parents, and they hugged me back as well, as if to put all their love into this hug. The three of us hugged each other and laughed, and the happiness of this moment was beyond words. My father burst into tears, and my mother patted me on the back with relief, as if to comfort an adult child.
Since then, I've been hungry and hungry for work.
I told myself that what I was giving now was for a more decent life in the future. As long as I persevere, one day I will be able to live a carefree life and let my parents completely let go of their worries.
I began to realize that the words of the third sister and my parents were not oppressing me, but out of love and expectation for me. They just want me to have a better life in the future and not be as hard as their generation.
When I work, I look at the group photo of my parents from time to time, and my eyes are firm and warm. Whenever I encounter difficulties at work, I think of their expectations, so I regain my fighting spirit and grit my teeth to move on. Occasionally, I would take out my mobile phone to look at the caring text messages sent by the third sister, and I was extremely grateful to have such a caring sister as her.
"Dad, Mom, this is the new home I gave you, and you can enjoy your old age in peace. I said happily.
"It's great that we can finally have peace of mind. Father said happily, his words full of relief.
"My child, our greatest wish is to see you live happily ever after. With this home, we have nothing to worry about. Mother said gratefully, tears of happiness oozing from the corners of her eyes.
My father hugged me, and his strength seemed to rub me into his arms. My mother held my hand tightly and smiled happily. I was relieved to see that my parents were finally carefree. All the hard work is worth it, just to see them happy and healthy.
Through this experience, I have a deeper understanding and perception of life.
I began to reflect on the meaning and value of life. I realized that money status is important, but it is more important to learn to be grateful and cherish what is in front of you. My parents' love is so pure and selfless, and I should repay them well.
I also realized that the road of life is not smooth, and I have to go through a lot of hardships and hardships to finally achieve happiness. It is precisely because of the suffering in the past that I can truly appreciate the happiness I am now. All the effort was worth it.
Sometimes I sit in my living room and look out the floor-to-ceiling windows. The warmth of the sun on my body made me feel more grounded and peaceful than ever before. I would sigh softly with a happy smile on my face.
Occasionally, my parents would come over and look at me suspiciously. I would turn around, hug them solemnly and happily, and silently say in my heart: It's good to have you.
