My name is Wang Tao, I am Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, and I am an ordinary office worker. I have been married for seven years and have a lovely daughter named Xiaomei. The life of the family has always been peaceful and happy. However, a sudden tragedy changed our lives completely.
It was a sunny weekend, and my wife Xiaoli and I were planning to take our daughter on a picnic in the countryside. We happily packed up our food and toys and got ready to go. Just as we were about to leave the house, the phone rang.
"Hey, Xiaotao, it's me, come to the hospital. "My mother-in-law's anxious voice came over the phone.
"What's wrong, Mom?" I felt a slight feeling that something bad was happening.
"Your wife...... Got into a car accident...... Very badly injured...... Come on......" the mother-in-law's voice trembled.
The phone in my hand fell to the ground, and my heart was beating violently. I hurriedly told Xiaoli, and we immediately jumped in the car and ran to the hospital.
The time on the road seemed to become unusually long, and every second made me anxious. Finally, we arrived at the hospital. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw my mother-in-law and other relatives waiting anxiously.
"Mom, how is Xiaoli?" I asked as I ran.
The mother-in-law sobbed and shook her head, her eyes full of helplessness and despair.
The doctor said...... It's a terrible situation......"
My heart tightened, and I hurriedly ran into the hospital. Outside the operating room, I saw Xiaoli's back being pushed into the operating room, and the doctors were busy preparing. I sat on the ground weakly, my heart filled with fear and uneasiness.
"Xiao Tao, don't worry too much, the doctor will do his best to save her. "My mother-in-law came over to comfort me.
I nodded silently, but I felt like a helpless child, completely unable to face what was in front of me.
The surgery lasted several hours, and every minute was an ordeal for me. Finally, the doctor walked out of the operating room and looked at us with a solemn face.
"Doctor, how is Xiaoli?" I asked urgently.
The doctor let out a long sigh, "Although the operation was successful, the injury was too serious, and she ...... She has left us. ”
My body stiffened all of a sudden, and my mind went blank. I couldn't accept this cruel truth, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
My mother-in-law hugged me and cried tears, and other relatives were also grief-stricken. Our family was plunged into endless grief in an instant.
"Xiaotao, you have to be strong, you have to take care of your daughter. The mother-in-law's voice trembled.
I nodded, but I didn't know where I started to face the future, because my beloved wife had left me forever.
The sad atmosphere in the hospital enveloped us, and Xiaoli's death left us with endless sadness and irreparable regret. Back at home, everything was unusually quiet, as if it had lost its life.
A few days later, Xiaoli's funeral was completed, and relatives and friends gradually dispersed, leaving only me, my daughter Xiaomei and my mother-in-law. Every day, we live in silence, and each of us has an unspeakable pain in our hearts.
"Xiaotao, you have to take care of yourself and Xiaomei, don't be too sad. "My mother-in-law always said to me with concern.
I nodded, but I felt like I had lost my purpose and motivation in life. Although Xiaomei is still young, she can also feel that the atmosphere at home is extremely heavy, and she often hides in the corner silently to play, and is no longer as lively and cheerful as before.
"Dad, why didn't Mom come back?" asked me again and again.
I couldn't give her a proper answer, so I could only hold her gently, and my heart was full of helplessness and pain.
During this time, I noticed that my mother-in-law's physical condition was getting worse and worse. She was always pale and listless, and was clearly overjoyed by the loss of her daughter. I looked at her distressedly and tried my best to comfort her, but to no avail.
"Mother-in-law, you are in such a bad health, you have to take good care of yourself. I said to her with concern.
The mother-in-law smiled bitterly, "At my age, I don't have anything to take care of." ”
I knew that the pain in her heart was far more difficult to cure than the physical ailment. In my heart, she was like a lonely old man who had lost her support, and I was filled with guilt and powerlessness for her deep down.
Gradually, I began to realize that my mother-in-law's dependence on my wife Xiaoli was not only a mother-daughter relationship, but also contained expectations and care for me and Xiaomei. And I, as a son-in-law, could not bring her more comfort and support. This feeling of powerlessness made my heart grow heavier and heavier.
One day, I was sitting alone in the living room, looking out the window at the street scene. Suddenly, I remembered everything I had planned with Xiaoli before, our good times, and the endless thoughts she left behind. Tears flowed involuntarily, and I felt that I could no longer bear the pain.
"Dad, why are you crying?" Xiaomei walked over and gently wiped my tears with a tissue.
I hugged Xiaomei, tears couldn't stop flowing, "Xiaoli's mother is gone, Dad is so sad." ”
Xiaomei hugged me and began to cry, "Dad, I miss my mother so much." ”
The two of us hugged each other silently, tears moistening our clothes, but the pain in our hearts could not be dissipated.
At this moment, my mother-in-law came over and looked at our choked backs, with a hint of distress and helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"Xiaotao, Xiaomei, don't be too sad. The mother-in-law said softly, "Although Xiaoli is gone, she must hope that you will live happily." ”
I raised my head and looked at my mother-in-law, my heart full of gratitude and guilt, "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Xiaoli." ”
The mother-in-law shook her head, "You don't have to apologize, Xiaotao, you are a good husband and a good father." ”
I looked at my mother-in-law gratefully, and an indescribable warmth welled up in my heart. Perhaps, after Xiaoli's death, I have a deeper understanding of my mother-in-law's love and support, and I can no longer let her bear this pain alone.
"Mother-in-law, I have decided to give you all the compensation for Xiaoli. I said with determination.
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then showed a grateful smile, "Xiao Tao, you are right to do this, I will take good care of you and Xiaomei." ”
My mother-in-law and I looked at each other and smiled, the burden on my heart seemed to be much lighter, I knew that I could no longer let her bear all the pain alone, and I had to repay her with what I could.
My mother-in-law took the check I handed her, her eyes full of gratitude and emotion.
"Xiao Tao, you are such a good boy. She held my hand tightly, "I will take good care of you and Xiaomei." ”
I nodded, filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and reassurance. Perhaps, this is the best thing I can do for Xiaoli.
A few days later, my mother-in-law decided to return to her hometown because she felt that she could no longer leave any traces here. Before she left, we had a simple farewell ceremony.
"Xiaotao, Xiaomei, you have to take care of yourself. "Mother-in-law said to us.
Xiaomei and I both had tears in our eyes and agreed to our mother-in-law's words. Although I was reluctant, I knew that my mother-in-law also needed to return to her hometown and start her life again.
After sending my mother-in-law away, I felt more empty and lonely at home. Xiaoli's death made us lose our closest people, and the departure of our mother-in-law made us feel lonely and helpless.
"Dad, Mom and Grandma are gone, what will we do in the future?" asked me.
I hugged her tightly, "Xiaomei, Dad will always be with you, and we will get through every difficulty together." ”
Although I said it firmly, my heart was full of uncertainty about the future. I am an ordinary office worker, and how to take care of my daughter and let her live a happy life has become my biggest worry.
As the days went by, I worked hard and tried not to think about the unhappy things. Xiaomei is also slowly adapting to life without her mother, and she has become more sensible and independent.
"Dad, I miss Mom. "Xiaomei sometimes says to me out of the blue.
I hugged her tightly, "Xiaomei, Mom will always be blessed by heaven." ”
We spent time and day after day together, and slowly, the atmosphere at home became more and more lively. I started to learn how to cook, and although it wasn't very tasty, Mei was always full of joy and complimented me on my cooking skills.
"Dad, your cooking is delicious!" Xiaomei complimented me.
I smiled and patted her head, "As long as you like it, Dad will often make it for you in the future." ”
Xiaomei smiled as brightly as a flower, and I felt that the loneliness and pain in my heart gradually dissipated.
While I work hard, I also try to spend as much time as possible with Xiaomei. We went to the park together, played games together, and had many happy times together. Slowly, I found myself rediscovering my purpose and motivation in life.
"Dad, I'm so happy!" Xiaomei ran to me with a smile and grabbed my hand.
I hugged her, my heart was full of love and cherishment for her, "Xiaomei, Dad is also very happy, with you with me." ”
Perhaps, this is the greatest happiness that fate has given me, although I lost my lover, I got a lovely daughter, she gave me courage and hope, and let me rediscover the meaning of life.
Slowly, I began to accept this fact and learned to face the future with a more optimistic mindset. I believe that as long as I am with Xiaomei, everything will be beautiful.
As the days passed, my life with Xiaomei gradually returned to its former peace and happiness. Xiaomei is also getting better and better in school, her grades are steadily improving, and the teachers also praise her as a sensible and well-behaved child.
"Xiaomei, how about you come back for the exam today?" I asked her with concern.
Xiaomei smiled proudly, "Dad, I took the first place in the exam!"
I happily picked her up and said, "Awesome! Daddy is so proud of you!"
Days like this make me feel extremely happy and satisfied. Although Xiaoli is gone, the baby daughter she left behind made me feel the meaning and value of life.
However, just when I thought everything was going to get better and better, something unexpected happened.
One day, I received a strange phone call, and an anxious and panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Xiaotao, come to the hospital! Xiaomei has an accident!" came my mother-in-law's anxious voice on the other end of the phone.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and the phone in my hand was about to fall, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Xiaomei?"
The mother-in-law's voice trembled, "She...... She was hit by a car...... The situation is serious...... Come and ......"
My heart ached, and all sorts of bad images came to my mind. I hurriedly told my unit to ask for leave, and then immediately ran to the hospital.
When I came to the hospital, I saw that the medical staff were urgently rescuing Xiaomei. She was lying on the operating table, her face covered in scars, and her clothes were stained red with blood. I felt a sharp pain in my heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Doctor, how is Mei?" I asked anxiously.
The doctor looked at me with a solemn face, "Her condition is not optimistic, she has multiple fractures all over her body, internal organs are damaged, and she needs emergency surgery. ”
I felt a cramp in my heart and sat helplessly on the ground. Xiaomei is my only relative, I can't lose her, I must do my best to save her!
The surgery lasted for hours, and every minute was an ordeal for me. Finally, the doctor walked out of the operating room and looked at me with a serious face.
"Doctor, how is Mei?" I asked with a shudder.
The doctor let out a long sigh, "Although the operation was successful, Xiaomei's condition is very dangerous, and she needs to be treated in the intensive care unit. ”
My heart sank, and I hurriedly followed the doctor into the intensive care unit. Looking at Xiaomei's fragile body, I felt my heart break.
"Xiaomei, you have to cheer up, Dad will always be with you. I held Xiaomei's hand, tears blurring my vision.
Xiaomei opened her eyes slightly, her eyes were full of helplessness and fear, "Dad, I'm in so much pain......"
I looked at her with a heartache, "Xiaomei, you must be strong and must get through." ”
The days in the hospital were unusually long, and I stayed by Xiaomei's bedside day and night, and as long as I could see the slightest movement of her, I felt extremely relieved. Every day, I pray that Xiaomei will recover soon.
Gradually, Xiaomei's injuries began to improve, and her condition gradually stabilized. The doctor said that with a further period of treatment and rehabilitation, she should be able to return to her normal life.
"Xiaomei, you have to be strong, Dad will always be with you. I said to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei smiled slightly, "Dad, I'll do my best." ”
I felt extremely relieved and relieved, and watching Xiaomei slowly return to her old smile, I knew that it was all worth it. Despite the storm, our family is still together, and that's all that matters.
Xiaomei went through a difficult rehabilitation training in the hospital, her physical condition gradually improved, and the smile returned to her face. My love for her is deeper, and I appreciate her strength even more.
"Xiaomei, you've done a great job in rehabilitation today!" I encouraged her.
Xiaomei looked at me with a smile, "Dad, I also feel that I am getting stronger and stronger!"
During my time in the hospital, my relationship with Xiaomei became closer. We have experienced the test of life and death, and we have learned more about the preciousness of each other. Every time I see her perked up, I feel extremely gratified.
Finally, Xiaomei recovered and was discharged from the hospital. I drove to pick her up, and when I saw the smile on her face, my heart was filled with happiness and emotion.
"Daddy!" Mei threw herself into my arms as soon as she saw me.
I picked her up and smiled, "Xiaomei, you have finally been discharged from the hospital, Dad is so happy!"
Xiaomei hugged me, tears flowed uncontrollably, "Dad, thank you for always being with me." ”
I stroked her hair, "Silly boy, Daddy will always be there for you." ”
We returned home and everything became incredibly warm and happy. Mei regained the joy of life, and she smiled brighter than before.
"Xiaomei, what would you like to eat?" I asked her.
Xiaomei blinked her big eyes and thought for a while, "Dad, I want to eat the dumplings you made!"
I smiled, "Okay, then I'll make you a big bowl of dumplings." ”
We sat around the table as a family, enjoying the dumplings I had made with our own hands. Xiaomei ate with relish, and I felt satisfied.
"Dad, I want to learn to draw in the future, can you teach me?" Xiaomei suddenly asked after eating the dumplings.
I looked at her in surprise, "Of course! Daddy will always have your back." ”
From that day on, Mei and I would learn to draw together every day, I taught her to draw, and she taught me how to appreciate the world. In the process of painting, our feelings for each other deepened.
"Dad, what do you think of my drawing?" asked me expectantly.
I carefully observed her paintings, "Xiaomei, your paintings are really good!"
Xiaomei smiled happily, "Really? Then I'll draw more pictures for you in the future." ”
I smiled and patted her head, "Okay, I'm looking forward to every one of your works." ”
Our lives have gradually returned to the good they used to be, and the relationship between me and Xiaomei has become closer and tacit. Every day, I feel extremely happy and satisfied.
However, just when I thought everything was going to get better and better, a letter came to shatter my peaceful life.
"Xiao Tao, come to the hospital quickly, there is something you need to deal with. Mother-in-law's voice came over the phone.
My heart tightened, "Mother-in-law, what's going on?"
"You'll know when you come. The mother-in-law replied briefly.
I felt uneasy and hurried to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, my mother-in-law and a strange middle-aged man were waiting there.
"Xiao Tao, this is the legal director of the hospital, he has something to tell you. My mother-in-law said to me.
I looked at the head of legal affairs suspiciously, "What's going on?"
The head of legal affairs looked at me solemnly and handed me a letter, "This is a will, which was left by your wife Xiaoli before she died. ”
I took the letter, hesitated. What is the will that Xiaoli left before she died?
