My name is Li Na and I am an ordinary housewife, but my life is full of twists and turns. For as long as I can remember, I have lived in a small, family-centered village of seven people, my parents, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my brother's two children.
When I was a child, my closest partner was my brother Li Qiang. We always play together and grow up together. In my eyes, my brother was a strong and intelligent man who always protected me. But his life was full of ups and downs, and he took on the responsibility of the whole family early.
Our family was not wealthy, and my parents worked in the fields to barely support the family. And my brother, who is a down-to-earth and hard-working person, dropped out of school at a young age in order to help share part of the burden on the family. He went to the city and worked as a construction worker, sending back a meager salary every month.
But life isn't always as it should be. When I was 10 years old, the shocking news came from the village: my brother had been in a car accident and was seriously injured. That was the first time I experienced fear and helplessness, and my heart was cut when I saw my brother lying on the hospital bed, covered in scars.
At my brother's bedside, our family had a long, difficult time. My parents worked day and night, and I took care of my brother. I think it was also the first time I felt the weight of responsibility. Whenever I watched my brother struggling, I vowed to do everything I could to help him get through it.
Time passed slowly, and although his brother's injuries were slowly improving, he could no longer work as before. This is even worse for a family that has always relied on physical strength to eat. The burden on my parents' shoulders became heavier, and I began to take on the responsibilities of the family.
I continued to study at the village primary school, but after school, I had to do my part, doing odd jobs. Although tired, I never complained, because I knew that the family needed me. My brother also started to teach some children at home at this time, barely making ends meet.
However, the tragedy is not over. My brother was in a car accident again, this time, and the injuries were more serious. I remember the day when the whole family was in despair. The parents didn't say a word, and the tears kept flowing. I felt as if I was standing on the edge of a cliff and everything was blurred.
During my brother's second injury, I felt the ruthlessness of life. But I also learned to be strong and learned to survive adversity. My brother and I have two children who support the family together. Although we don't have a luxurious life, we have each other's company and love.

During my brother's second injury, I felt the ruthlessness of life. But I also learned to be strong and learned to survive adversity. My brother and I have two children who support the family together. Although we don't have a luxurious life, we have each other's company and love.
Time passed quickly, and my brother's children and I grew up. After graduating from high school, his eldest son, Xiaoqiang, decided not to continue his studies and chose to stay at home to help. He is hardworking and hardworking, and although he is just an ordinary villager, he has a kind heart and is always willing to help.
The youngest daughter, Xiaomei, is unusual, she is smart and smart, and she is the best reader in the village. Whenever I see her thick books, I always feel extremely gratified. She was always looking forward to the future and dreamed of being able to leave the small village and see the outside world.
"Sister, I want to go to college. Xiaomei sat at the table and said seriously.
I gently patted her on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Xiaomei, my sister supports you." As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to achieve your dreams. ”
But this dream is so far away for us. Life at home is still precarious, and my brother's salary is no longer enough to support our family of three. Although our parents tried their best to provide for us, the pressure on the family increased.
"Xiaomei, what are we going to do with your college expenses?" I asked worriedly.
Xiaomei was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "I can work part-time and save money, I will definitely find a way." ”
I looked at her determined eyes and felt a pang of emotion in my heart. Perhaps, it is this perseverance and courage that is the hope for our family to get out of the predicament.
However, things didn't go as we planned. Just a year before Xiaomei was preparing to enter university, her father suddenly fell seriously ill. This time, it was a cerebral hemorrhage that made him lose his ability to speak and completely lose his ability to work.
Faced with his father's illness, the whole family fell into despair. I watched my father slump on the bed and sighed helplessly. We didn't know what to do, because this time, there really wasn't any hope.
"Nana, what do you think we should do?" my mother cried like a child, holding my hand tightly.
I squeezed her hand and tried to keep myself calm: "Mom, we can't give up. We'll definitely find a way. ”
Xiaomei also stood silently aside, her eyes full of determination and determination. I know that she will work hard to achieve her dreams, no matter what difficulties she faces.
After my father fell ill, life became more difficult for our family. My mother is busy taking care of my father every day, and Xiaoqiang and I are also busy with housework and part-time jobs to support the family. Xiaomei studied hard every day from morning to night, and then worked in a small restaurant near her home, hoping to earn more money to relieve the pressure on her family.
"Xiaomei, are you tired?" I asked distressedly as I looked at Xiaomei's tired face when she came back from the evening.
Xiaomei shook her head and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm not tired, as long as I can help the family, I feel very happy." ”
Her smile made me feel a little warm. Perhaps, it is precisely because of such a brave and strong sister that we can bravely face the challenges of life.
However, fate is always full of helplessness. Just when Xiaomei was preparing for the college entrance examination for a year, my brother suddenly came with shocking news - he was suffering from advanced liver cancer, and his condition was already very serious.
When I heard the news, I was dumbfounded. My brother, the person I have always relied on, could get such an illness, and it is already in an advanced stage. I didn't know what to do, I just felt at a loss.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiaomei saw me sitting there in a daze, and hurriedly came over and asked.
I looked up at her, and tears couldn't stop flowing: "Xiaomei, your brother is he...... He had cancer. ”
Xiaomei's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it for a while: "My brother has cancer......?" How is this possible?"
I shook my head, unable to find any words to explain. This news came as a bolt from the blue for us, and it was completely beyond our imagination.
And at home, my mother has already sensed that something is wrong,
Mom also already sensed that something was wrong, she patted her chest, gasping for breath and saying, "This ...... How can this be......? I can't. ”
Xiaomei and I hurriedly helped my mother to sit down, and I said anxiously: "Mom, don't panic, let's face it together, there will definitely be a way." ”
Xiaomei also hurriedly brought a glass of water and handed it to her mother, and comforted: "Mom, don't worry, we will get through it together." ”
My mother breathed a sigh of relief and held my hand hard: "Nana, Xiaomei, you have to be strong, I believe you will be able to get through it." ”
Seeing my mother like this, my heart felt even heavier. Our family has suffered so many misfortunes in a row, and now, my brother's illness has plunged the whole family into despair.
However, even in the face of such a dilemma, we can only choose to face it bravely. Xiaomei and I decided to do our best for our brother and find the best treatment. We searched for money and raised some of the cost of treatment, and my brother was admitted to a city hospital for treatment.
"Sister, the doctor said that my brother's condition is already very serious and he needs surgery. Xiaomei said to me in a panic.
I shook her hand and encouraged, "Xiaomei, don't be afraid, we will definitely find a way." ”
After a lot of hard work, we were able to raise the cost of the surgery. The surgery went smoothly and the doctor said that my brother's condition had improved, but he needed long-term treatment and care.
In the hospital, Xiaomei and I took turns taking care of my brother. Whenever I saw his fragile appearance, I couldn't help but burst into tears. But I know that we can't back down, we have to be strong.
"Sister, I think my brother's condition seems to have deteriorated a little. Xiaomei said to me worriedly.
I also felt the changes in my brother's body, and my heart became more and more anxious. We called the doctor, and after an examination, the doctor's expression became solemn.
"You have to be mentally prepared, your brother's condition has reached an advanced stage, and the only way to control the disease and prolong his life is to prolong it. The doctor said to us in a serious voice.
Hearing the news, Xiaomei and I were dumbfounded, and our eyes were blurred, as if the whole world was collapsing. We tried to hold back our tears, forced a smile, and comforted my brother and told him that everything would be okay.
"Sister, what should we do?" asked me with a shudder.
I held her hand tightly, and tears flowed uncontrollably: "Xiaomei, let's face it together, we must accompany my brother through these last days." ”
Back home, our family fell silent. The elder brother looked at our silent appearance and smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I will be strong." ”
At home, we try to make my brother happy every day. Mom cooks his favorite dishes, Mei reads to him, and I chats with him.
"Brother, do you remember the days when we flew kites together when we were kids?" I asked softly.
My brother smiled and nodded: "Remember, how happy we were at that time." ”
"We will definitely have more happy times in the future, brother, you have to persevere, don't give up. I held my brother's hand tightly and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Nana, Xiaomei, don't be sad, I will be strong. My brother comforted us softly.
In the last days of my brother's life, our family was united, filled with love and hope despite our inner grief. Every day, we try to make my brother happy, because we know that this is the last thing we can do for him.
Finally, in the early morning of a spring day, my brother passed away quietly, leaving behind a wave of sadness and endless thoughts.
"Sister, brother is gone, what should we do?" Xiaomei cried heartbreakingly.
I hugged her and tears rained down: "Xiaomei, we have to be strong, we have to continue to live, for my brother, and for ourselves." ”
After the death of his brother, the whole family fell into unprecedented difficulties
Border. His father's condition showed no signs of improving, and the loss of his son caused him great trauma. My mother was sad all day long, often recalling the bits and pieces of my brother, and tears kept flowing.
Xiaomei and I can't get rid of the heaviness in our hearts, but we know that we have to be strong. For the sake of our family, for the sake of our brother, we can't let ourselves collapse.
"Nana, Xiaomei, I want to find a job. Dad said vigorously as he slapped the table.
Xiaomei and I glanced at each other, and we both felt a little surprised in our hearts, but we also nodded in support.
"Yes, Dad, you go find an easy job, and we'll take care of the family. Xiaomei said encouragingly.
Dad smiled and patted us lightly on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll try to find it." ”
So, Dad started looking for a job, and although he was not young, he was still full of energy and confidence.
During this time, Xiaomei and I also began to take on more responsibilities. I take care of the housework and take care of my parents, while Xiaomei works hard to earn more income.
"Sister, do you think I'm doing the right thing?" asked me a little tiredly.
I took her hand, smiled and said, "Xiaomei, you have done a good job, we will work together and we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties." ”
Xiaomei nodded, her eyes flashing with determination.
However, life doesn't always go smoothly. Just when we thought that everything would slowly get better, my sister-in-law suddenly got divorced.
"Cortana, Mei, do you know? After your brother died, I felt like I couldn't stand this anymore. The sister-in-law cried.
When Xiaomei and I heard the news, we were a little uneasy. After all, my sister-in-law is already a member of our family, and her departure is also a loss for us.
"Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive, we can discuss and solve the problem together. I hurried to comfort her.
The sister-in-law shook her head, tears streaming down: "I can't bear this life anymore, I want to start again." ”
"So what are you going to do?" asked Xiaomei with concern.
The sister-in-law wiped away her tears and said firmly: "I want a divorce and start over with the children." ”
Hearing this decision, Xiaomei and I were a little stunned, we didn't expect my sister-in-law to make such a decision.
"Sister-in-law, have you thought it through?" I tried to persuade her.
The sister-in-law nodded: "I thought about it for a long time, this is my only choice." ”
In the face of my sister-in-law's decision, Xiaomei and I felt helpless, but we also knew that this was her choice and we must respect it.
The news of the divorce soon spread, and the people in the village talked about it. Some people sympathize with her sister-in-law, while others point fingers at her. And in the process, Xiaomei and I also became the focus of the village.
"I heard that your sister-in-law is getting divorced?" asked a villager curiously.
I nodded awkwardly: "Yes, she decided to start over." ”
I felt a little uncomfortable as the villagers chattered, but I knew that these topics could not be avoided.
The divorce is also a big shock to our family. My father's condition showed no signs of improving, and my mother's mood was getting lower and lower. Mei and I tried our best to make them happy, but we couldn't hide the anxiety inside.
"Mom, don't be too sad. I comforted softly.
Mom wiped away her tears, smiled slightly and said, "Nana, Xiaomei, you have done a good job, I know that I am really happy to have you." ”
Xiaomei and I glanced at each other, and a warm current welled up in our hearts. Although we face all kinds of difficulties, as long as we are together, we can overcome everything.
However, just when we thought everything was going to get better, an even bigger storm hit us......
Just when we thought everything was going to get better, an even bigger storm hit us.
One day, Xiaomei and I were busy cooking dinner at home when we suddenly heard a quick knock on the door.
"Nana, Xiaomei, come out and have a look!" came Dad's anxious voice.
We hurriedly put down what we were doing and ran to the door, only to see my father with a thick court summons in his hand.
"Dad, what's going on?" I asked.
Dad said heavily: "This is our family's homestead has been expropriated, and the village committee has asked us to relocate. ”
Xiaomei and I looked at each other, full of shock and incomprehension.
"How so, our homestead is an ancestral heirloom!" Xiaomei said indignantly.
Dad sighed and said with a wry smile: "The village needs land for development, so we decided to expropriate our land." ”
When we heard the news, we all felt a surge of anger in our hearts. This homestead is not only the foundation of our life, but also the inheritance of our family, and now it is going to be expropriated, and we cannot accept such an outcome.
"Dad, we can't just give up, we're going to go to the village committee for an explanation!" I decided.
Dad nodded, "Well, we must go to them." ”
So, Xiaomei and I accompanied my father to find someone from the village committee. In the conference room, we met with the head of the village council.
"Director, our homestead has been expropriated, what's going on?" I asked at the director.
The director glanced at us and said coldly: "This is the government's decision, the village needs to be developed, and you have to move out." ”
"But our homestead is our family's only source of livelihood, and we can't just be evicted!" I said angrily.
The director waved his hand: "This is the government's policy, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the higher authorities." ”
Xiaomei and I felt very helpless, we couldn't change the government's policies, but we weren't willing to be driven away like this.
Back home, we started looking around for a solution. Xiaomei and I thought of a lot of ways, and even went to a lawyer for consultation, but the results were not satisfactory.
"Sister, what should we do?" Xiaomei looked at me, her eyes full of helplessness.
I pondered for a moment, then said, "We have to find a way to move somewhere else, and now this place is not for us to live in." ”
Xiaomei nodded: "Yes, we have to make a change. ”
So, we started to prepare for the move. We searched around and eventually found a place that, although not in the same good condition as the homestead, at least allowed us to continue living.
In the process of preparing for the move, the sister-in-law also decided to start over with the children, she found a job in the city, although the conditions were not very good, but she decided to go.
"Cortana, Mei, I decided to go to work in the city, and I left with my children. My sister-in-law said to us.
Xiaomei and I looked at my sister-in-law, a little reluctant in our hearts, but we also understood her choice. We nodded silently and wished her all the best in her future life.
"Sister-in-law, you must take care of yourself and your children. I said to her gently.
The sister-in-law hugged the child and burst into tears: "You also have to take care of yourself, and you must go to the city to see me when you have the opportunity in the future." ”
We sent our sister-in-law away, and our hearts were filled with endless emotion. All these changes have filled us with a sense of uncertainty about the future, but we know that as long as we stick together, everything will be better.
Finally, we moved to a new place and started a new life. Although everything needs to be readjusted, we are united as a family and believe that the future will be better.
This is the story of our family, full of twists and turns and challenges, but we still hold on to hope and bravely face every test of life.
