On the cold winter night, snowflakes fell on the windows of Li Ming's house, like strings of crystal clear pearls. The room was as warm as spring, the candlelight was flickering, Li Ming sat alone on the sofa, the light of the mobile phone screen reflected on his face, but it couldn't hide the sorrow between his eyebrows.
Li Ming and his wife Xiaohong are a loving couple who live an ordinary and happy life in this small city. However, five years ago, Li Ming's sister Xiaofang and her husband came to their house with two children, and since then, Li Ming's life has changed dramatically.
At first, Li Ming and Xiaohong were happy to take in their relatives, after all, Xiaofang and her husband were experiencing some financial difficulties and needed their temporary help. Who would have thought that this temporary delay would end up for a full five years. In these long years, Li Ming and Xiaohong had to adapt to this sudden big family, and all kinds of expenses in life continued to increase, and sometimes they couldn't even get the money to buy food. In addition, the two naughty little nephews also give Li Ming and Xiaohong a headache, and their quality of life is deteriorating.
Despite all the helplessness in their hearts, Li Ming and Xiaohong still patiently took care of this big family, for fear that their sister's family would fall into an even more difficult situation. They hope that through their help, Xiaofang's family can get back on their feet and live a happy life. However, contrary to expectations, not only did they not get anything in return in the past five years, but they fell deeper and deeper into trouble.
Just the day before yesterday, Xiaofang finally packed her luggage and moved out of Li Ming's house with her two children. Li Ming let out a sigh, but there was a trace of indescribable complex emotions in his heart.
Finally gone, Xiaohong and I can finally return to a peaceful life. Li Ming muttered to himself, his eyes mixed with relief and helplessness.
In the past five years, Li Ming and Xiaohong have experienced too many twists and turns, and their hearts are full of all kinds of negative emotions, and sometimes they even want to escape from this home. However, when his sister Xiaofang was about to leave, Li Ming also felt a trace of sadness in his heart. After all, it was his closest blood relative, and the person who grew up with him once loved her. It's just that the various experiences in the past five years have made Li Ming's heart indifferent.
Just today, Xiaofang suddenly called Li Ming and said that she was coming to pick up some things left at Li Ming's house. Li Ming hesitated, but agreed.
Xiaofang came to Li Ming's house early in the morning, and Li Ming opened the door to greet his sister, who was full of apologies and uneasiness.
Brother Ming, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble over the years. I also know that I feel very guilty that our family has been under the fence and has greatly affected the lives of you and your husband. Xiao Fang said to Li Ming, her tone full of apology.
Forget it, don't mention that. You're here to get something, and I'll get it for you. Li Ming said lightly that he had lost patience with his sister's apology in his heart.
As soon as he entered the house, Li Ming saw a full refrigerator. In the past five years, he and his wife Xiaohong have supported a family of five, accumulating a lot and barely making ends meet. However, whenever he saw the refrigerator, he couldn't help but feel a wave of irritability in his heart.
Hey, Xiao Ming, look at the things in the refrigerator, we bought them. You two have worked hard. Xiao Fang sighed.
Li Ming didn't speak, just silently took out what Xiao Fang wanted to take away. In the process, he couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of the past five years.
At the beginning, Xiaofang's family only lived in their house temporarily, but who knew that they would end up living in procrastination for five years. During this period, the couple had to adapt to this sudden big family, and the expenses of life became bigger and bigger, and sometimes they couldn't even get enough money for food. What made Li Ming even more troubled was that the two little nephews were disobedient and mischievous, often filling the house, making him and Xiao Hongcha not think about it.
Don't thank us too much, we have taken care of you all these years. Li Ming said.
I know, I know. I'm so grateful to you, if you hadn't taken us in, our family would have been sleeping on the streets. Xiao Fang said, tears couldn't help but fall.
Seeing his sister's sad appearance, Li Ming's heart couldn't help but soften. He stretched out his hand, patted his sister's shoulder gently, and comforted: Okay, don't cry. In the future, you have to live a good life, and Xiaohong and I will also enjoy the world of two.
Xiaofang wiped away her tears, looked at her brother gratefully, and secretly made up her mind that she must work hard and make her life better and better, so as to repay her brother and sister-in-law's kindness.
Li Ming watched his sister pack up her things and prepare to leave, with mixed feelings in her heart. He knew that in the past five years, he and Xiaohong had paid too much, but now that they could finally return to a peaceful life, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. However, when he thought that his sister was about to leave, he felt a sense of reluctance in his heart. After all, his sister is his closest person, they have been inseparable since childhood, and now they can see each other intimately again, Li Ming feels very happy.
Just as Li Ming was immersed in his thoughts, Xiao Fang walked in again, her face full of guilt and uneasiness.
Brother Ming, I discussed it with my husband, and we decided not to give you any money. I really appreciate the care you have taken care of us over the years, and we don't want to make our relationship even more strained because of money. Xiao Fang lowered her head, her voice full of apologies.
Hearing his sister's words, Li Ming suddenly felt a burst of regret. He never wanted to make his sister feel like a snob, he just wanted to get something back that he deserved. But in retrospect, that doesn't seem fair.
No, sister, it's me who is wrong. I just said that because we have incurred a lot of expenses in the past five years, so I wanted to discuss it with you. But now that I think about it, it's a bit excessive. Li Ming said sincerely.
It's okay, Brother Ming, I understand your thoughts. I just think that since you have taken us in for so many years, we have done our part, so we don't need you to give us money. Xiao Fang comforted.
I'm sorry, sister, but I was wrong. I shouldn't have mentioned it to you like that. Li Ming said apologetically.
Nothing to apologize for, I understand your thoughts. Let's just let that be the end of the five-year affair now. Xiao Fang smiled, her eyes full of relief.
Looking at his sister's tolerant eyes, Li Ming unexpectedly poured out a warm current in his heart. For the past five years, the couple has been coping with various family burdens, sometimes without even a respite. But now, his sister offered not to ask for money, but just wanted to say goodbye to them, which made Li Ming feel extremely guilty.
Sister, I'm sorry, but our family has indeed caused you a lot of inconvenience in the past five years. We've been trying to maintain this big family, and sometimes it's inevitable that there will be something that you can't think about. But now that I think about it, you guys helped us a lot, and we were so selfish. Li Ming looked at his sister deeply, his eyes showing guilt and gratitude.
Brother, you don't have to apologize. We all know that the past five years have been very difficult for you. We have always felt guilty for causing you so much trouble. But you have been silent and tolerant of us, and we are all grateful to you. Xiao Fang held her brother's hand, her eyes shining with tears.
Sister, I know that our family has caused you too much inconvenience in the past five years, but now that you are leaving, I am really reluctant. My brother and sister have been together since we were children, and I feel very happy to be able to see each other intimately again. Li Ming's voice choked, and his eyes turned red.
Brother Ming, so am I. In the past five years, although it has caused you a lot of trouble, it is a wonderful time for our family to be able to settle down in your home. We will always remember your kindness and will definitely come back to see you when we have the chance. Xiao Fang said excitedly.
The two hugged each other and cried, and did not speak for a long time. The various entanglements of the past five years have been sublimated by mutual tolerance and understanding at this moment. Li Ming realized that he had been too calculating and persistent before, and neglected the most precious friendship between his family. And Xiaofang also realized that she had caused too much trouble to her brother and sister-in-law, although she was sorry, but she also deeply felt their love and tolerance.
After seeing off his sister and nephews, Li Ming returned to the living room and found his wife Xiaohong, who had been busy in the kitchen.
Xiaohong, my sister left just now, and we talked a lot. Li Ming hugged his wife's shoulders, and his voice was full of tenderness.
Really, how are you talking?
That's good, and I've always felt like we shouldn't ask them for money. After all, we are willing to help them. Xiaohong nodded, her tone revealing relief.
yes, I thought I was too careful. My brother and sister have been close since childhood, and I feel very happy to be reunited again. Li Ming sighed, his eyes revealing relief.
Well, me too. Although it has been hard in the past five years, it has also made us cherish each other more. In the future, we must cherish our families and stop arguing over some trivial things. Xiaohong kissed her husband's cheek, and her eyes sparkled with happiness.
Li Ming nodded and hugged his wife tightly. At this moment, he finally felt the true meaning of life, it turned out that the warmth and affection of his family is the most valuable wealth in life.
In the past five years, they have experienced too many ups and downs, but it has also made them cherish each other more. Now, my sister's family is finally leaving, and Li Ming and Xiaohong are also going to regain their own two-person world. They know that even if the days are difficult, as long as they have each other's support and understanding, they will be able to overcome the difficulties and rebuild a better life.
Xiaohong also noticed the change in her husband. She knew that in the past five years, they had been struggling, but they had also neglected many important things because of this. Now, her sister is about to leave, and they can finally enjoy their own two-person world, which makes Xiaohong feel sincerely happy. She decided that she must cherish the happiness in front of her in the future and strive to maintain this happy family.
Li Ming and Xiaohong sat in each other's arms, quietly enjoying this precious quiet time. In the past five years, they have experienced too many ups and downs, but now they have finally ushered in a peaceful life of their own, and their hearts are full of incomparable happiness and gratitude.
Tomorrow is a fresh start. Li Ming said softly, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
Yes, we must plan for this new phase. Xiaohong hugged her husband and said seriously.
We've had enough of it all these years, but now we're finally getting by. Li Ming reached out and stroked his wife's hair, and his tone was full of tenderness.
Well, that's what I thought too. We must cherish this hard-won peace. In the future, we will travel more, accompany our parents more, and live a good life for the two of us. Xiaohong leaned into her husband's arms and whispered.
Yes, we must seize the happiness of the moment and stop arguing over some small things. Li Ming gently kissed his wife on the forehead, feeling extremely calm and satisfied in his heart.
Li Ming and Xiaohong sat in each other's arms, quietly enjoying this rare peace. The ups and downs of the past five years have made them cherish their current happiness even more. From then on, they decided to focus on their families and life, and enjoy their time together.
Xiaohong looked into her husband's eyes tenderly and made a decision silently in her heart. She should cherish this hard-won quiet life and do her best to maintain this happy family. She believes that as long as they understand and support each other, they will be able to survive all the ups and downs and live better and better lives.
Starting today, we must plan our future life well. Xiaohong said with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation and determination.
Then let's work together, and we will definitely have a better life. Li Ming hugged his wife tightly, and an incomparable happiness and gratitude surged in his heart.
Li Ming and Xiaohong sat in each other's arms, as if they were the only ones left in the whole world. They believe that as long as they love each other, they will be able to weather all the storms and meet the future with a better attitude. This hard-won quiet life is their most valuable asset.
