"Dad, Mom, what do you mean by that?" Li Haoran stood at the door of his parents' bedroom, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed incomprehension and doubt.
Inside the house, the parents sat on the edge of the bed, their faces solemn. Father Li Jianguo said in a deep voice: "Haoran, after careful consideration, we have decided to change our lives in the future. ”
"Change, what change?" Li Haoran felt uneasy in his heart.
Mother Zhang Xiufen took over the conversation, revealing a trace of helplessness in her tone: "We have decided to follow some 'unspoken rules' when we get along with you in the future." ”
Li Haoran was stunned, he never thought that there would be so-called "unspoken rules" between him and his parents. In his cognition, family affection should be pure and simple.
"This ...... How is this possible?" stammered Li Haoran.
Li Jianguo sighed and said slowly: "We know this sounds a little strange, but we think it's necessary. For example, every Saturday night in the future, we want you to go home for dinner instead of socializing outside. ”
"Also, we hope that you will be more concerned about our lives and feelings, rather than just focusing on your own career. Zhang Xiufen added.
Li Haoran was confused when he heard it, he felt that these requests were not excessive, but why did parents use words like "unspoken rules" to describe them?
"I don't understand, why is this all of a sudden?" he couldn't help but ask.
Li Jianguo stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "We have observed many families and found that many adult children have communication barriers and emotional alienation between their parents. We didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so we decided to set some rules ahead of time to make our relationship more harmonious. ”
Li Haoran was silent, he never thought that his parents would be so well-intentioned. He knew that he was usually busy with work and neglected to communicate and accompany his parents, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.
"Okay, I promise you. Li Haoran took a deep breath and said solemnly.
From that day on, Li Haoran began to try to follow the "unspoken rules" proposed by his parents. Every Saturday night, he would go home for dinner and talk to his parents about the family and listen to their thoughts. He also learned to pay attention to the details of his parents' lives, such as reminding them to take their medicine on time and pay attention to their physical health.
Gradually, he found that his relationship with his parents became closer and more harmonious. The estrangement between them is gone, and in its place is mutual understanding and love.
At a family gathering, Li Haoran couldn't help but express his gratitude to his parents: "Mom, Dad, thank you for these 'unspoken rules'. I never thought that simple companionship and care could make our relationship so good. ”
Zhang Xiufen smiled and patted his hands: "Child, we just want you to know that family affection needs to be managed." These 'unspoken rules' are not the shackles that bind you, but the way we cherish each other more. ”
Li Haoran was full of emotion in his heart, he realized that he had made great achievements in his career, but he neglected the most important thing in family life - family affection. He decided not only to continue to follow these "unspoken rules" in the future, but also to take the initiative to create more quality times with his parents.
As time went by, Li Haoran's relationship with his parents got better and better. They travel together, attend social events together, and share moments of life together. Li Haoran found that getting along with his parents could be so easy and pleasant.
In a chat with a friend, Li Haoran mentioned the "unspoken rules" between himself and his parents. After hearing this, my friends were very interested and said that they wanted to go home and try it. Li Haoran said with a smile: "In fact, these rules are not complicated, the key is to feel and cherish family affection with your heart." ”
Soon after, Li Haoran saw an article on social media about family relationships. The article cites a statistic: families that follow certain rules have significantly higher levels of intimacy and happiness between their members than the average family. Li Haoran's heart moved, and he remembered the "unspoken rules" between himself and his parents, which really helped to enhance the emotional connection between family members.
He decided to share these experiences with more people. He wrote an article detailing his "unspoken rules" for getting along with his parents and shared his experience in the process. As soon as the article was published, it attracted widespread attention. Many readers have commented that they will also try to set similar rules in the home to make family relations more harmonious.
Li Haoran looked at these messages, and his heart was full of relief. He knows that he has contributed to improving family relationships. And all this stems from his initial incomprehension and acceptance of the "unspoken rules".
Today, Li Haoran has become an advocate of family relationships. He often speaks in public to share his experiences with his parents. He hopes that through his own efforts, more people will realize the importance of family affection and learn to manage family relationships with their hearts.
And in this process, Li Haoran also reaped his own growth and happiness. He understands that true success is not only about career brilliance, but also about harmony and fulfillment in family life.
He is grateful to his parents for the "unspoken rules" and for teaching him how to cherish and maintain family relationships. He knows that this family affection is the most valuable asset in his life, and it is also the most solid backing for him on the way forward.
In the days to come, Li Haoran will continue to follow these "unspoken rules" and spend more quality time with his parents. He believes that with their joint efforts, the family will become happier and more satisfied.
