Xiaojie stood in the living room of his aunt's house, holding the college admission letter tightly in his hand, and his heart was mixed. Three years ago, he stepped into this strange home with a vision for the future and a hint of unease. The aunt, a traditional housewife, has strict requirements for Xiaojie, but also gives him meticulous care.
"Xiaojie, you must study hard to be successful in the future. His aunt often told him this, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
Xiaojie nodded, but he was a little confused in his heart. He knows his aunt's expectations, but he also has his own dreams and pursuits. In the three years of high school, Xiaojie's grades improved steadily under the strict supervision of his aunt, but his heart became more and more depressed.
"Auntie, I want to be on the school's basketball team. Xiaojie plucked up the courage and made his request to his aunt.
My aunt frowned, "Basketball team, that's going to affect your studies." You'd better concentrate on your studies. ”
Xiaojie was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't give up. He began to practice basketball secretly, hoping to find a balance between his studies and his interests.
As time passed, the contradictions between Xiaojie and his aunt gradually emerged. Some of my aunt's traditional ideas, such as patriarchal preference and stereotypes about women, collided with Xiaojie's modern ideas. Xiaojie tries to communicate with her aunt in the hope of changing her mind, but her aunt insists on her own opinion and is unwilling to accept new ideas.
"Auntie, now that times have changed, men and women are equal, and women can also have their own careers and pursuits. Xiaojie tried to convince his aunt.
"You know what? I eat more salt than you eat rice. The aunt was a little angry and didn't want to accept Xiaojie's point of view.
Xiaojie felt helpless, and he began to wonder if his relationship with his aunt could be maintained. After being admitted to college, Xiaojie announced at a family gathering that he had severed ties with his aunt, a decision that shocked everyone, especially his aunt.
"Xiaojie, how can you be like this? I worked hard to raise you, will you repay me like this?"
Xiaojie's heart was also full of pain, but he knew that this was the only way for him to grow up. He needs to be brave enough to pursue his dreams while also learning to understand and respect others.
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I know you've done a lot for me, but I also need to have my own options. Xiao Jie's voice trembled a little, but his eyes were determined.
At the family gathering, the conversation between Xiaojie and his aunt was full of emotional conflicts, but also full of helplessness and courage to grow. It's a story of growing up, family relationships, and personal struggles, but also about understanding and reconciliation.
Xiaojie's high school life is like a war without gunpowder, and every day is a race against time. His aunt's expectations, like a mountain weighing on his shoulders, made him almost breathless.
"Xiaojie, look at Xiao Ming, his grades have always been among the best, when will you be like him?"
Xiaojie was silent, he knew that his aunt was for his good, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. His grades were already good, but it seemed that he would never live up to his aunt's expectations.
At school, Xiaojie met several like-minded friends, and they discussed their studies together, and discussed life and future together. Xiaojie feels very lucky to have such a group of friends.
"Xiaojie, is your aunt too strict? You can't always live according to her wishes. Friend Xiao Li said to Xiao Jie during a recess.
Xiaojie smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know, but what can I do? My aunt has done a lot for me, and I don't want to disappoint her." ”
However, the aunt does not understand Xiaojie's circle of friends, she thinks that these friends will affect Xiaojie's studies, and even try to interfere with Xiaojie's social life.
"Xiaojie, why have you been hanging out with those kids lately? The aunt frowned, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction.
"Auntie, they are my friends, we study together and progress together. Xiaojie tried to explain, but her aunt didn't buy it.
As time passed, the conflict between Xiaojie and his aunt gradually deepened. Xiaojie began to realize that some of his aunt's ideas were outdated and no longer adapted to the development of modern society. He tried to communicate with his aunt in the hope of changing her mind, but she insisted on her opinion and was unwilling to accept the new ideas.
"Auntie, times have changed now, and we can't always look at things with the old eyes. Xiaojie plucked up the courage and expressed his opinion to his aunt.
"Xiaojie, are you challenging me? I eat more salt than you eat rice, what do you know?" the aunt's voice raised, looking a little angry.
Xiaojie felt very helpless, and he began to wonder if his relationship with his aunt could be maintained. He didn't want to hurt his aunt, but he didn't want to give up his pursuits and dreams either.
Xiaojie's college admission letter is like a beam of light, illuminating the long-lost smile on her aunt's face. She hugged Xiaojie excitedly, tears flashing in her eyes.
"Xiaojie, if you really fight for your aunt, I know you can do it!"
Xiaojie felt a warm current in his heart, but at the same time, there was a trace of bitterness. He knew that his new life at the university meant that he would face more choices and challenges.
The environment of the university is indeed more open and free, and Xiaojie is exposed to more new ideas and concepts. He began to reflect on his own values, and also questioned some of his aunt's traditional beliefs more intensely.
"Xiaojie, you have a lot of potential, don't be bound by traditional ideas, and be brave enough to pursue your dreams. The words of the mentor are like a clear spring, nourishing Xiaojie's heart.
Inspired by this, he began to follow his own path more resolutely, and he decided to distance himself from some of his aunt's traditional beliefs.
However, Xiaojie's decision made her aunt feel very sad and disappointed. She couldn't understand why Xiaojie would choose to oppose her.
"Xiaojie, how can you be like this? I worked hard to raise you, will you repay me like this?" the aunt's voice was full of tears, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
Xiaojie's heart is full of pain, he doesn't want to hurt his aunt, but he also doesn't want to give up his values.
"Auntie, I know you've done a lot for me, but I also need to have my own choices. Xiao Jie's voice trembled a little, but his eyes were determined.
My aunt was silent, her eyes full of confusion and incomprehension. Xiaojie's decision made her feel very sad, but she also began to reflect on her own concepts.
"Xiaojie, maybe you're right. Times have changed, and I may really need to change my mindset. Although my aunt's voice was low, it revealed a hint of relief.
The dialogue between Xiaojie and his aunt is full of emotional conflicts, but also full of helplessness and courage to grow. It's a story of growing up, family relationships, and personal struggles, but also about understanding and reconciliation.
The atmosphere of the family gathering was originally warm and lively, but Xiaojie's words made the whole room fall silent.
"From today, I have decided to cut ties with my aunt. Xiao Jie's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder exploding in everyone's hearts.
My aunt's hand trembled, and she could barely hold the teacup in her hand, "Xiaojie, you... How can you do that?" her voice choked, her eyes full of disbelief.
"I understand that it may come as a shock to everyone, but it was a deliberate decision that I made. Xiaojie stood up straight, despite the struggle in his heart.
Family members began to whisper and talk. Xiaojie's father sighed, "Xiaojie, your aunt is no longer right, she has also raised you for three years." ”
"I know, Dad. But everyone has the right to choose their own path. Xiaojie responded, his eyes revealing firmness.
Xiaojie's cousin had a different opinion, "Xiaojie, you are too impulsive to do this, and your aunt is also old, you can't break her heart like this." ”
"I'm not impulsive, cousin. Xiaojie turned to his aunt and softened his tone, "Auntie, I will always remember your kindness to me. But there are some ideas that I really can't accept. ”
A hint of complexity flashed in her aunt's eyes, and she took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions, "Xiaojie, you have grown up and have your own ideas. Maybe... It was me who was wrong. ”
This family gathering turned into a heated debate about family, individuals, and values. Xiaojie candidly recounted his experience at his aunt's house, as well as the contradictions and conflicts between him and his aunt.
"I didn't want to betray my aunt, I just wanted to pursue my own values and dreams. There was a hint of choked in Xiaojie's words, but his attitude was resolute.
Xiaojie's speech touched everyone present, including his aunt. She began to reflect on her own concept, perhaps, it was time to let Xiaojie fly.
"Xiaojie, my aunt may be really old and don't understand what you young people think. But my aunt wants you to be happy, really. My aunt's words, although trembling a little, were full of relief.
Xiaojie held his aunt's hand tightly, with tears in his eyes, "Auntie, thank you, I will." ”
At this moment, the tension at the family gathering slowly eased, and although the conflict has not yet been completely resolved, the seeds of understanding and respect have quietly taken root in everyone's heart.
The reconciliation between Xiaojie and his aunt is like a timely rain that moistens each other's dry hearts. The aunt begins to try to understand Xiaojie's world, and Xiaojie also learns to think from his aunt's point of view.
"Xiaojie, my aunt may have done something wrong, can you forgive me?"
Xiaojie held his aunt's hand tightly, tears flashed in his eyes, "Auntie, there is nothing to forgive or not forgive, we are all growing up and learning how to understand each other better." ”
The smile on my aunt's face that she hadn't seen for a long time began to try to get in touch with new things and understand the minds of young people. She even started learning to use a smartphone and chatted with Xiaojie through WeChat to learn about his college life.
"Xiaojie, how is your college life, is there anything new?" asked my aunt curiously on WeChat.
"Auntie, university life is very rich, I have learned a lot of knowledge, and I have met a lot of interesting people. Xiaojie replied, with a hint of pride in his tone.
The relationship between Xiaojie and his aunt has become more equal and respectful. They began to communicate like friends, sharing each other's lives and ideas. Xiaojie continues to pursue his dreams in college, while his aunt also begins to try to change her lifestyle and pursue her own happiness.
"Xiaojie, my aunt recently participated in a dance class, and I think it's quite interesting. My aunt said excitedly on the phone.
"Really? That's great, auntie. You should try more of the things you love. Xiaojie encouraged, full of gratification.
Their story became a touching story of growth, understanding, and reconciliation. It inspires more people to be brave enough to pursue their dreams, while also learning to understand and respect others.
"Xiaojie, thank you, it was you who made my aunt understand a lot. The aunt's voice was choked with a hint of choking, but more of a grateful.
"Auntie, thank you too, you have taught me a lot. Xiaojie responded, his heart full of warmth.
Their stories are like a lighthouse, illuminating the way forward and warming the hearts of everyone who passes by.
