The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a time for family reunions, but at the door of a family, an unexpected stalemate was staged.
A man, let's call him Lin Hao for the time being, carries a carefully selected gift and prepares to step into his mother-in-law's house to spend the festive season with his loved ones. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and chose to sit down on the stone steps in front of the door, with a complicated expression on his face.
At this time, his wife Xiaoya had happily walked into the house, only to find that her husband had not followed her. She looked back suspiciously, only to see Lin Hao sitting alone at the door, as if isolated from the world.
Xiaoya hurriedly walked out of the house, came to her husband's side, and asked softly, "What's the matter, Lin Hao? Why don't you go in? Everyone is waiting for you." ”
Lin Hao looked up at his wife, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a bitter smile: "Is your brother at home?"
Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood her husband's worries. It turned out that Lin Hao had a dispute with his eldest brother because of a trivial family matter before, and was taught a hard lesson by his eldest brother. Since then, the relationship between the two has fallen to a freezing point.
"Are you still angry about my brother beating you?" asked Xiaoya tentatively.
Lin Hao was silent for a while, and said slowly: "It's not that I'm angry, it's just that I think that since there is a rift, it will be difficult to heal again." I don't want to embarrass everyone on this reunion day. ”
After hearing this, Xiaoya had mixed feelings in her heart. She understands her husband's concerns, but also hopes that he can put aside his past grievances and spend this special holiday with his family.
"Lin Hao, I know you have a pimple in your heart. But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of reunion. Can we put aside the unhappiness of the past for a while and go in and have a reunion dinner with our family?" Xiaoya tried to persuade.
However, Lin Hao shook his head: "I'd better go back." You go in and reunite with your family, and say I've been here. ”
With that, he stood up and prepared to leave. Xiaoya looked at her husband's back, and her heart was full of helplessness and regret. She knows that this Mid-Autumn Festival is destined to be unable to truly reunite.
Perhaps, in the days to come, they will need more time and effort to resolve this grievance. But in any case, she hopes that her husband can let go of the past unhappiness and rebuild a deep relationship with his family.
