My name is Zhang Lin and I am an ordinary girl living in rural areas in northern China. Although my family is not wealthy, my family is warm, and my parents care for me in every way. I have an older sister named Xiaoxue, she is four years older than me and is a gentle and kind sister. When we were children, we used to play together, whether it was playing hide and seek in the rice fields or releasing paper kites by the river at the entrance of the village, we were inseparable good friends.
It wasn't until I was seventeen years old that my father betrothed me to a young man from a place, and I was going to marry far away from his hometown. It was a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery was very different from that of my hometown. When my parents sent me to get married, they had tears in their eyes and told me to live a good life and not live up to their expectations.
When I first arrived at my husband's house, I felt a little unfamiliar, but I tried to adapt to the new environment. My mother-in-law was a hardworking and simple woman, and she was very kind to me, often teaching me housework and farm work. Gradually, I settled into this new family, and although I felt homesick occasionally, I struggled to overcome it.
However, it wasn't long before I discovered something that made me conflicted. Before I moved to my new home, my mother gave me a pair of pants when she secretly sent me away. It was my favorite pair of pants when I was a kid, and although they were a little old, I still remember every pattern and thread of it. My mother said that it was a gift she had prepared for me, and that she hoped that I would be able to dress warmly and comfortably in my new home.
At the time, I didn't think much of it, just put it in my suitcase. However, when I came to my husband's house, I realized that I was not wearing these pants, because in such a small mountain village, there are not many women who wear pants, and everyone wears skirts to work. I figured it would be out of place to wear those pants, so I kept them at the bottom of the case and rarely touched them.
As the days passed, I gradually adapted to my new life, and I also got used to the daily farm work. However, there was always an indescribable guilt in my heart, and those pants seemed to have become a stone in my heart, weighing me down.
Three months later, one morning, I climbed out of bed, opened the box, and suddenly remembered the pants. I don't know why, but there was an inexplicable emotion in my heart, and I thought that maybe it was time to give my mother an explanation. I carefully pulled the pants out from the bottom of the case, it was still the same, but I felt that it was more precious than before. I took it out into the yard and basked in the sun, as if trying to restore it to its former glory.
I stood in the yard with those pants in my hand, my heart in disarray. Suddenly, I heard the voice of someone behind me.
"Lin'er, is this the clothes you want to dry?" my mother-in-law's voice broke my silence.
I turned my head and saw my mother-in-law standing in the doorway, holding a basket of freshly picked greens.
"Yes, mother-in-law. I replied softly.
My mother-in-law came over and looked at the pants in my hand, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, "When is this dress? Why have I never seen you wear it?"
I paused for a moment, then said with difficulty, "This is what my mother gave me, and I brought it with me when I moved here." ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, and she seemed to be a little puzzled. She leaned closer, looked at the trousers, and asked, "Why did your mother give you such a dress?" ”
My heart tightened, and I didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and it was my husband who walked over.
"Lin'er, what are you doing?" he asked curiously, his eyes fixed on the pants in my hand.
I explained, slightly embarrassed, "It was given to me by my mom and I wanted to get some sunshine." ”
The husband took the pants, looked at them carefully, and then smiled: "Is this a gift from your mother? Why have I never seen you wear them?"
I hung my head in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer. At this time, the mother-in-law took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't care much about you young people, but these pants really don't look suitable for wearing here." ”
My husband nodded and handed me his pants, "Then don't dry it, I'll help you put it back in the box." ”
I took my pants and felt a sigh of emotion in my heart. Maybe it's really only between me and my mother. I silently put my pants away, filled with gratitude and guilt for my mother.
A few days later, my husband and I were out working together and passed by a grocery store when I suddenly remembered something. I stopped and said to my husband, "Wait a minute, I want to go in and have a look." ”
My husband gave me a puzzled look, but followed me in. The grocery store was filled with all sorts of daily necessities, and I walked straight to the trouser shelf and began to search.
"Lin'er, what do you want to buy?" asked her husband curiously.
I didn't answer, I just rummaged through it and thought about it in my mind. Finally, at the bottom of the shelf, I found what I was looking for. I picked up a pair of pants of the same color as the one my mom had given me and looked at it carefully.
"Lin'er, what is this?" asked the husband curiously, he didn't understand why I was buying a pair of pants.
I gently stroked my pants and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just think these pants look good." ”
My husband looked at the pants in my hand and nodded, "Okay, then let's buy it." ”
I paid and put my pants in my bag, filled with satisfaction and emotion. These pants may just be an ordinary piece of clothing, but for me, they carry so many emotions and memories.
When I got home, I carefully put my pants in the box and put them together with the pair of pants my mother had given me. I know that maybe it won't make up for my guilt for my mother, but at least I've done my best.
As the days passed, I gradually found my place in my new home and gradually adapted to life here. My mother-in-law was also very kind to me, often teaching me housework and some farm skills. My husband is also very concerned about me, and when he has free time, he will take me to visit the nearby mountains and forests, or go for a walk by the small river at the entrance of the village. Although I sometimes miss my parents and sister back home, I slowly learned to enjoy life here.
However, just as I was getting used to it, a piece of news shattered my illusions about a peaceful life. I received a letter from my father in which it was written that my mother was sick and needed my care. I panicked and wanted to go home to see my mother immediately, but I was worried that leaving here would cause trouble for my husband and mother-in-law.
I hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to go home and see my mother. Although my husband and mother-in-law were a little reluctant, they still understood my choice and agreed to leave me temporarily. I hurriedly packed some things, said goodbye to my husband, and set out on the way home.
By the time she returned home, her mother was very ill. My heart was filled with guilt and anxiety, and I felt sorry for my mother. I did my best to take care of her and hope to get her back as soon as possible.
During all this time I was taking care of my mother, I often remembered those pants. I knew that those pants meant a lot to my mother, and she must have cared a lot about whether I wore them. I remembered why I didn't wear those pants in the first place, and I felt that I was very unfilial and sorry for my mother.
Finally, after months of careful care, my mother's condition showed signs of improvement. A big stone in my heart finally fell, and I knew that my mother could finally rest assured.
On the way back to my husband's house, I decided to do something. I'm going to open the box, take those pants out, and put them on. I want to express my love and apologies to my mother with practical actions.
When I returned to my husband's house and saw the familiar yard and house, I felt a warmth in my heart. I walked briskly into the room, opened the box, and carefully took the pants out.
"Lin'er, you're back!" the mother-in-law walked over happily, holding a bowl of steaming soup in her hand.
"Yes, mother-in-law, I'm back. I replied with a smile, my heart filled with warmth for my family.
I picked up the pants and rubbed them gently. These pants have been with me for a long time, and they have witnessed the days when I was married away from home, as well as my guilt and longing for my mother.
"Lin'er, what are you doing?" my husband walked over curiously, looking at the pants in my hand.
"I want to wear these pants. I said, my voice trembling slightly.
When the husband heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly smiled, "Okay, then put it on." ”
I nodded, my heart filled with gratitude and determination. I put those pants on, and I felt like I was back in the summer back home, the moment when my mother saw me off. I know that these pants are not just a piece of clothing, they carry my thoughts and guilt about my mother, as well as my hope and determination for the future.
"Lin'er, you put on those pants?" my mother-in-law looked at me in surprise, and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, mother-in-law. I smiled and replied, "It was given to me by my mother, and I want to wear it to express my thoughts and apologies to my mother." ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, her eyes were full of understanding and emotion, "Good boy, you are really a good and filial girl." ”
My husband also came over and looked at me, his eyes full of warmth and encouragement, "Lin'er, you did the right thing, your mother will definitely be proud of you." ”
I felt a warmth in my heart and knew I had made the right choice. I don't feel ashamed anymore
However, just as I was wearing those pants and my mood was gradually calming down, a sudden change of life shattered my peaceful life.
One day, I received an emergency call from my hometown. My sister's anxious voice came over the phone, and she told me that my father had suddenly fallen ill and was in critical condition and needed me to go home immediately.
I panicked, and an indescribable fear hit me. I couldn't believe that my father could suddenly fall ill, let alone how serious his condition was. I felt a strong sense of guilt and anxiety in my heart, feeling that I was sorry for my parents and that I had not fulfilled my responsibilities as a daughter.
"Lin'er, what's wrong, what's going on?" my husband hurriedly walked over and asked, seeing that I was pale.
I raised my head, my eyes full of anxiety and fear, "My father is sick, and my sister said that the situation is critical, and I want to go back quickly." ”
When the husband heard this, his expression sank, and he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation, "Then let's hurry up and prepare, and I'll go back with you." ”
The mother-in-law also heard our conversation and walked over, "Lin'er, don't worry, we will take care of everything here, you go and take care of your father first." ”
My heart warmed and I looked at my mother-in-law and husband gratefully, "Thank you, I really don't know how to thank you." ”
So, I hurriedly packed some of my luggage, and after saying goodbye to my husband, we immediately set out on the way home.
When I got back to my hometown, I hurried home. My sister was already waiting at the door, and when she saw me, a look of comfort flashed in her eyes, "Lin'er, you are here, Dad is inside, and the situation is very critical." ”
My heart tightened, and I hurried into the house, only to see my father lying on the bed, pale and breathing. The mother waited anxiously on the sidelines, tears streaming down her face.
"Daddy!" I knelt on the edge of the bed, holding my father's hand tightly, "what's wrong with you?"
Father opened his eyes with difficulty and smiled reluctantly, "Lin'er, you're here." Dad is fine, just a little tired. ”
My heart trembled, looking at my father's haggard appearance, my heart was full of helplessness and distress, "Dad, you must hold on, I will take good care of you." ”
I tried to keep myself calm and try not to let my father see my anxiety and fear. I know that what my father needs at this moment is my strength and support, and I can't let him worry.
For the next few days, I stayed by my father's side day and night, taking care of him as best I could. His sister and mother also took care of him non-stop, and the whole family was filled with an atmosphere of tension and worry.
However, despite our best efforts, my father's condition showed no signs of improvement. Looking at his haggard appearance every day, my heart was full of helplessness and despair, and I felt that I was sorry for my father and irreparable.
When I was feeling helpless and hopeless, I was awakened early one morning by a sharp knock on the door. I quickly got up and opened the door, only to see a strange middle-aged man standing outside the door, looking at me with an anxious face.
"Is there a person in your family surnamed Zhang who lives here?" he asked hurriedly.
My heart tightened, and I immediately became alert, "Yes, I belong to the Zhang family, is there something wrong?"
The middle-aged man glanced at me, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and then said, "I am a doctor from the county hospital, and I learned that someone in your family was sick, so I came to take a look." ”
When I heard the news, I was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly let him into the house. The doctor carefully examined his father's condition, and then frowned.
"Your father's condition is so serious that he must be taken to the hospital for treatment immediately. The doctor said, in a serious tone.
My sister and I looked at each other, our hearts filled with worry and fear. We know that the hospital in the county is limited, and if my father's condition is not treated in time, I am afraid that it will become more serious.
"Doctor, we'll rush to the hospital now. I said, in a firm tone.
The doctor nodded in agreement, so we hurriedly packed our bags, carefully lifted my father to the car, and immediately drove to the county hospital.
In the hospital, my father underwent a series of examinations and treatments, and the doctor told us that although my father's condition was serious, there should be hope for recovery as long as he received timely treatment.
My sister and I listened, and a big stone finally fell in our hearts, and we knew that my father could finally receive professional medical care. We decided to do our best to take care of my father and make him recover as soon as possible.
In the days that followed, my sister and I stayed at my father's bedside day and night, taking care of him with all the care and attention. Although my father's condition is still serious, we see the hope of his gradual recovery, and our hearts are full of gratitude and relief.
In the hospital, I also met many family members of patients like me, who also came to take care of their loved ones. We supported each other, encouraged each other, and got through this difficult time together.
Finally, after a few weeks of treatment, my father's condition improved significantly. The doctor told us that as long as he continued to continue his treatment, my father would most likely recover.
My sister and I were overjoyed to hear the news, and we knew that our father could finally get rid of his illness and return to us.
On the way home, I was filled with emotion, my heart was full of gratitude to the doctor and the hospital, and I was also full of cherishing my family. I decided to cherish everything in front of me and take good care of my family so that they can be happy and healthy.
