Child, I just wanted to be filial, but I was criticized!
I drove to my parents' house early in the morning. When I got to the door, I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. Mom hurriedly opened the door.
"Happy New Year, of course! Mom greeted me warmly.
I walked in with a smile: "Happy New Year, Mom, I have prepared New Year's gifts for you and Dad." ”
I took out two thick red envelopes from my pocket and handed them to my mother.
"Hehe, you're such a sensible child. Mom thanked her and put the red envelope in her pocket.
At this time, Dad also came out of the back room.
"Happy New Year, son!" Dad warmly shook my hand.
"Happy New Year, Dad, this is my New Year's red envelope for you. I hurriedly handed another red envelope to my father.
Dad took the red envelope and frowned: "Where did you get so much money?"
"This is the year-end bonus I saved, and I want to repay you for raising me. I explained.
"Year-end bonus, how long have you been working, where did you get so much money?" Dad's tone became a little cold.
"Dad, I have been working for more than three years, and I have accumulated a lot of year-end bonuses, all of which I earned myself, and I want to use it to honor you. I patiently explained.
"Hmph, just making this little money, you are so shameless to brag about yourself. Dad sneered and shook his head.
I was stunned, not understanding why my father said that. I wanted to be filial, but I was criticized.
I froze in place, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, my mother hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, this kid obviously wants to honor us, don't say that to him." ”
But his father had no intention of rescuing him. On the contrary, the more he spoke, the more angry he became: "Filial piety? Why is filial piety? What is this money? Look at your brother, he got married, bought a house, and how good he is doing now!"
When I heard my father mention my brother, my heart was sour. My brother did get married and bought a house before me, and his life seems to be better. But I also know that this is the result of years of hard work by his parents to support him. As for me, although I tried hard, I never seemed to get the approval of my parents.
"Dad, I just want to do my part to repay you for raising me on weekdays, although the money is not much, but it is a piece of my filial piety. I explained carefully.
"Hmph, don't you think it's good to have a little money now, don't you? Your brother gives us a lot of money every year, and he never puts on a show like you. Dad didn't mean to stop in the slightest.
Seeing this, my mother hurriedly grabbed my father's arm and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, we will naturally be happy if you give us money, so don't say that to him." ”
"Happy? What are you happy about? You dare to honor us with this money? You don't even want to see what my brother gave you. Dad sneered and shook his head.
My feelings were getting worse and worse, and my eyes couldn't help but get moist. I've worked hard for so many years, but I haven't been approved by my parents. Instead, I was ridiculed and belittled. I know my father said this because he compared me to my brother and thought I was inferior to him. But is this the reward I deserve?
Just then, my phone rang. When I looked, it was a call from a colleague.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I tried to make myself sound calmer.
"Obviously, why haven't you come back yet? The New Year's party is about to start, and everyone is waiting for you. A colleague's voice came.
"Ah, sorry, I'll go first. I replied quickly.
After hanging up, I looked at my father, who was still nagging me, and I had mixed feelings. I really don't want to hear it anymore, I just want to get out of here quickly.
"Dad, Mom, it's time for me to leave too, I'm going to attend a company party during the New Year, so I won't bother you. With that, I turned around and left.
"Hmph, let's go, we'll never see you again. Dad snorted coldly.
I struggled to control the pain in my heart and walked out of the house quickly. When I walked to the car, tears finally welled up in my eyes. I wiped my eyes vigorously, took a deep breath, and started the car.
Sitting in the car, I felt very aggrieved and lost. I originally wanted to be filial to my parents in my own way, but I was ridiculed and scolded by my father. I feel like I'm not getting anything in return for my efforts and efforts.
Before I knew it, I was driving back to my rental house. As soon as I entered, I collapsed on the couch, tears blurring my vision again. I took out two thick red envelopes from my pocket and stared blankly.
I really just want to do my part. Why can't my father understand my feelings? Why am I always inferior to my younger brother and not recognized by my parents? It's a really painful feeling.
Just as I was sitting there depressed, my phone rang suddenly. When I saw it, it was my mother's call. I took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
"Mingming, why are you back?" Mom's voice sounded anxious.
"Hehe, your dad is just too serious, he's not targeting you, he's just used to comparing you with your brother, don't take it too seriously. Mom tried to comfort me.
"However, I really want to be recognized by my father, and I have worked hard for so many years just to make my parents proud of me. I said in a choked voice.
Hearing my mother's words, I finally felt a little comforted in my heart. Maybe Dad is just not good at expressing himself, but I believe what Mom says, and they must love me in their hearts. I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart.
"Mom, I know that I will work harder to make you proud of me. Happy New Year and I love you. I said with a smile.
"Happy New Year, we love you too, take care of yourself and tell us if anything. Mom whispered.
At this moment, through the window, I saw snowflakes falling outside. The new year is coming, and I am full of hope. I believe that as long as I keep moving forward, one day my father will recognize my efforts and achievements.
Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, my heart gradually calmed down. Although I was very sad about the argument with my father just now, I can understand my father's feelings when I think about it now. As a parent, I naturally hope that I can get married early, buy a house, and live a stable and prosperous life like my younger brother. As hard as I worked, I was probably still a single person in their eyes, and I didn't live up to their expectations. Only by continuing to work hard can they be truly proud of me.
Thinking so, I stood up again, and my spirits lifted. I turned on my phone and sent a message to my colleague saying that I would be there in a moment. The company's annual meeting is about to start, and it can't be delayed any longer. So I packed my clothes and walked out of the rental house quickly.
Along the way, I was thinking about how to make a good impression on my father. Maybe I should try to buy a house and let them leave their worries behind. Or I can give them more money to show my filial piety. However, one thought kept swirling in my mind: should I live to please my parents, or should I pursue happiness in my own way?
Soon, I was at the hotel where the company's annual meeting was held. As soon as I entered the venue, I was fascinated by the cheering colleagues in the distance. They all seemed to be enjoying this rare moment of happiness. I immediately felt the gloom in my heart be swept away, and I immediately joined their team excitedly.
"Obviously, you're finally here! A female colleague waved happily at me.
"yes, I was almost late. I hastened to explain, "But I'm ready to enjoy the party." ”
Before I could finish my sentence, a group of people immediately pulled me to the middle of the dance floor. Cheerful music played on the dance floor, and everyone swayed to the rhythm, exuding youthful energy. I forgot about my worries, relaxed, and danced to the music.
At this time, I noticed a few people whispering in a corner not far away, as if discussing some secret. Curious, I walked over and found that one of the people was the CEO of the company.
"Boss, you're here. I hurriedly said hello.
"Oh, that's obvious, why are you playing here too?" The boss looked a little absent-minded.
"Of course I want to come and celebrate the New Year. I smiled and said, "By the way, you seem to be discussing something with someone just now, am I bothering you?"
"No, no, we're just talking about some company things. The boss explained unhappily.
I had a vague suspicion that there must be some secret in my mind. But at this time, I didn't want to snoop on the company's secrets, so I smiled and said haha, and returned to the middle of the dance floor.
Soon, the agenda for the annual meeting began. The first is the speech of the company's leaders. Each of them raised their glasses and wished everyone a happy new year and a successful career. I also raised the red wine in my hand and drank it with them.
This was followed by a variety of wonderful performances such as singing and dancing, sketches, and talent shows. Everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and cheers came and went. I can't help but cheer for my colleagues and feel their happiness.
At this moment, the host suddenly announced that there was going to be a lucky draw. I was immediately interested, and hurriedly walked over. I saw that the hosts drew lottery, from laptops to high-end mobile phones.
"The final prize is a home appliance set worth 5,000 yuan!" The host announced.
Everyone immediately exclaimed, raised their arms, and scrambled to answer. I also held my breath and nervously waited for the results.
I was stunned. What a coincidence, right? I actually won such a big prize! The people around me immediately cheered me on and patted me on the shoulder. I excitedly stepped forward to receive the award, and my heart was filled with joy.
This unexpected gain seems to make up for the dispute I just had with my father to a certain extent. I think that as long as I keep working hard, I believe that one day I can make my dad proud of me. At this moment, I am very proud and satisfied. I believe that the new year will be even more exciting!
When I got this set of home appliances worth 5,000 yuan, my heart was full of joy. This is not only a great reward, but also an affirmation of my efforts over the years. I calmed down a little bit, and the quarrel with my father just now gradually dissipated in the joyful atmosphere of the annual meeting.
I carried the prize all the way back to the rental house and couldn't wait to put it away. This set of appliances is really valuable, there are TV, refrigerator, washing machine and other daily necessities. I couldn't help but touch the brand-new shells and feel their shine. This is undoubtedly a great asset. Not only has it improved my quality of life a lot, but it has also become an entry point for me to communicate with my parents.
Thinking of this, I immediately called my parents. When my mother heard my voice, she said happily, "Mingming, why did you call so late? Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Mom! I have something to tell you. I took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to continue: "I just won a grand prize at the company's annual meeting, a 5,000 yuan home appliance package. ”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a long time. I was a little worried that my mom would get angry with me again. But then came the mother's excited voice: "Oh, my good son! You must cherish such a good prize, have you already put it away?"
Hearing my mother's gentle tone, I breathed a sigh of relief and happily replied, "Yes, Mom, I just placed it, I want to give these to you, I hope you can use it." ”
"How can you give us something so valuable? Obviously, these are things that you have worked hard to earn, and you should make good use of them yourself. Mom said hurriedly.
"However, I want to use these to express my filial piety. I insisted.
"Of course we know what you're thinking, kid. But you need to use these things yourself, so don't give them all to us. Mom gently persuaded.
After listening to my mother's words, I knew that her intentions were good. While I still want to give all these things to my parents, I also understand that they won't want me to give up my life altogether to please them. So I replied solemnly: "Okay, Mom, I understand, I will make good use of this set of appliances, and I hope Dad and you can come to my house once in a while." ”
"No problem, we can come and see you at any time, of course, you have to take care of yourself, Happy New Year!" Mom's voice was full of love.
"Happy New Year, Mom! Thank you again for your continued support. I said sincerely.
After hanging up, I breathed a sigh of relief. This conversation with my mom calmed me down a bit. Maybe there is something bad about my father, but I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, I believe that one day, he will be proud of me.
Just then, my phone rang again. When I looked at it, it was the boss's number. I was a little surprised. Is there anything else the boss could ask me? I quickly picked up the phone.
"Boss, what the hell do you want from me?" I asked cautiously.
"Of course, I just saw that you won the grand prize at the annual meeting, which is great! The boss's voice sounded a little excited.
"Oh, it's all the company's arrangement, I'm just lucky. I replied modestly.
"Don't say that, you have been a key employee of the company for so many years, and you deserve this award. The boss continued: "Shall we have lunch together tomorrow? I would like to talk to you about the company's recent achievements and problems. ”
I was a little surprised that the boss actually invited me to eat with him. Is there anything important he wants to tell me? I thought about it and decided to accept the invitation.
"Okay, boss, I'll come see you tomorrow at noon. I agree.
"That's good, then I'll wait for you at the company tomorrow. The boss said happily and hung up the phone.
It seems that the boss always has something important to tell me. I can't help but start to wonder, what will it be? But no matter what, I'm going to give it my all to get anything done. After all, it is the trust and support of the company that has allowed me to grow step by step over the years. I decided to do well tomorrow and make a good impression on my boss.
The new year is coming, and I am already full of hope and motivation. Whether it is my father's approval or the company's attention, I will achieve it through my own efforts. This unexpected gain undoubtedly gave me greater confidence and courage. I believe that as long as we work hard step by step, we will be able to create more achievements in the new year.
