My name is Li Ming, I am 36 years old, and I am an ordinary employee of a small company. His wife Zhang Xue is also an office worker, with a salary of only 5,000 yuan. We have an 8-year-old son who is struggling to make ends meet, and our monthly expenses make us miserable. We live in an old 60-square-metre apartment with shabby furniture, but that's all we have.
The early morning sun shone in through the cracks in the curtains, and I opened my heavy eyelids and looked at the haggard face of my sleeping wife. We are all hard-working office workers, but we are always living beyond our means. In addition to paying the mortgage and living expenses every month, he also has to take out 4,800 yuan to his elderly parents and younger brother who has just lost his job.
I often wander at the crossroads of my life, wondering what the future holds: whether to abandon my parents and younger brother and focus on my own small family, or continue to silently support and wait for a miracle to come? My wife's salary is so low that I can't do anything. I hated my own incompetence, and I hated this meager income even more, but I was helpless.
Zhang Xue is an ordinary employee of a clothing company, with an average working environment and a salary of only 5,000 yuan. She often complained about the low salary, but she had no choice but to endure it in silence.
Every day when she goes to work, she is the first to arrive, for fear that there will be the slightest omission in her work. After work, I often work overtime and can't leave until late at night. However, this diligent dedication is only exchanged for a meager reward, and her heart is often full of helplessness and disappointment.
"Brother Ming, I'm really fed up, and I don't have much left of my salary this month. Zhang Xue spread the remaining change on the table and said helplessly.
"Yes, it's not enough money to spend, but we have to hold on. I sighed and flipped through the pay stubs.
"However, we have to give 4,800 yuan to our parents and your brother every month, so how much is left for us? "
"I know it's going to be difficult, but my brother is really at a low point in his life right now, and my parents are getting older, so we can't stand idly by. "
"Do you have any good ideas, or I'll get a part-time job?" Zhang Xue proposed.
"No, you're too tired from work now, stop pushing yourself. I hurriedly stopped her, "Why don't you tighten your belt for a while, I'll figure it out." "
Zhang Xue nodded, her face full of exhaustion. I hugged her, and my heart was mixed. As the head of the family, I have never been able to provide a stable life for my family, which is undoubtedly my biggest failure and pain.
That's when I got a call from my younger brother, who said that his small company in the field had also been laid off and that he now had nothing but to come back to live in a rented house temporarily. My heart suddenly became a little heavier, my brother has always been a prodigal son, and his style of life is debauched, and now he has also suffered this retribution.
I had to open my mouth to Zhang Xue again: "My brother is also unemployed now, so he can only come back to rent a house temporarily, and we have to fund him some living expenses." "
"What? With our meagre income now?" Zhang Xue was obviously shocked by my words, "Are you crazy? We are already strapped for our own living expenses, where will we get the money to support him!"
At the same time, the situation on the parents' side is also getting worse. My mother's health was getting worse and worse, and she had to go to the hospital for frequent check-ups, and the high cost of medicine made us spend almost everything. My heart seemed to be tightly strained by the weight of life, and I couldn't breathe.
In the dead of night, I sat alone on the sofa in the living room, and Zhang Xue's question echoed in my mind: "Are you crazy?" I looked down at the payslip in my hand, and I felt that these thin sheets of paper were more like ridiculous scripts that mocked me.
My heart seemed to be torn apart by the weight of life, and I covered my face in pain. Tears quickly wet my palms, I knew I was at the lowest point in my life, but I couldn't just give up, I had to keep working hard for my family.
Just as I was struggling with myself, Zhang Xue walked in lightly and sat down beside me. She didn't speak, just silently hugged me into her arms, and the warm body fragrance made me almost cry. Yes, I'm not fighting alone, my wife has always been by my side, fighting side by side with me.
"Cher, I'm sorry, but I'm too weak. I choked up, "I promised you a happy and healthy life, but I made you struggle in this environment. "
"Fool, you've done your best. Zhang Xue gently wiped away my tears, "Let's just carry it together, as long as you don't give up, I will always be by your side." "
In this way, we hugged each other and wept, and found a ray of hope in the darkness.
"What? But you're tired enough from your job right now. "I was a little surprised.
"But the current income is not enough for us to live. "I decided to learn some new skills and find a job with a better salary." "
I looked at my wife's determined eyes and couldn't help but be impressed by her courage. Yes, we do need a higher income to support our families' expenses, rather than living in such a tight environment forever.
"Okay, then you can make up your mind to make it happen. I hugged my wife, "But you have to think twice, don't force yourself." "
"Don't worry, I've already figured it out. Zhang Xue is full of confidence, "I will learn some practical skills, such as computer office, web design, etc., and then find a job with a better salary." As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get out of the haze. "
I was infected by my wife's pride, nodded, and regained confidence in the future.
That night, Zhang Xue and I sat side by side in the living room, and we had a deep conversation about our future plans.
"Cher, have you really decided?" I asked, "A new job can be harder, you need to learn new skills, and the intensity of the work will increase later on." "
"But if you get too tired from work, I'll feel guilty. I hung my head.
"Fool. Zhang Xue squeezed my hand, "We are a family, no one should force themselves anymore." As long as we are in the same boat, we will definitely be able to forge a path of our own. "
I nodded, my eyes moistened. My wife's words gave me great encouragement, and I felt that my heart, which was once on the verge of despair, had rekindled its fighting spirit.
"Then come on, I will fully support you. I hugged my wife, "Whatever lies ahead, we're going to go together." "
"Well, we're going to be able to break into a new world. Zhang Xue said firmly.
Just as Zhang Xue began to learn new skills and prepare for a new job, a sudden accident completely disrupted our plans.
I went to work as usual that day, and who knew that in the afternoon, the unit suddenly announced that it was going to lay off employees. After layers of screening, I turned out to be the one who was laid off. When I got the notice of being fired, my mind went blank and I was weak.
As a result, I lost my only job, and my family was in even worse trouble. Where did Zhang Xue's tuition and living expenses come from? Where did the alimony for her parents and younger brother come from? The fear and anxiety in my heart once again enveloped me and made me breathless.
I sat alone on a park bench, looking at the passers-by, and suddenly it felt like they were laughing at my failures and incompetence. Yes, I am indeed incompetent, I have lost even a meager job, how am I qualified to be the head of the family?
Just when I was at my most desperate, Zhang Xue and my son found me and gave me great support and encouragement.
"Don't give up hope, you're a good person. Zhang Xue hugged me and comforted, "As long as we work together with one heart, we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties." "
"Dad, you're the best dad. My son also took the initiative to come up and kiss me on the cheek, "We are together as a family, and there is nothing that we can't get over." "
The warmth of my family made me rediscover the courage to live. Yes, I can't just give up, we have to work together as a family to break into a new world.
"Thank you, I'll keep trying. I firmly said, "I will definitely find a new source of income for my family and let us get back on our feet." "
In this way, with the support and encouragement of my family, I regained hope for the future and made up my mind to find a new way out for my family.
After all these ups and downs, I began to reflect on my life.
Life is like an endless practice, which gives us either sunny or stormy. Sometimes we get lost in the darkness and can't see the way ahead; Sometimes we regain hope in the light and move on.
We must not be defeated by the hardships of life, let alone trapped by the setbacks in front of us. Everyone should be brave enough to face the ups and downs of life and use their own hands to carve out a path of their own.
Family is the biggest motivation for us to move forward. With the support and encouragement of our families, we can regain our courage in the most desperate times. With family by our side, we can find the meaning of life in the most difficult times.
Family affection and love are the most precious treasures in life, they give us the strength to move forward, so that our life will not be bleak. As long as we grasp this precious power, we will never get lost in the lost path of life.
Yes, the road of life is tortuous and difficult, but as long as we move forward bravely, we will definitely find the path to happiness. Once again, I was determined to carve out a new world for my family.
Since then, I have been actively looking for new job opportunities. Although I faced many obstacles due to my age and academic qualifications, I never gave up.
At the same time, Zhang Xue is also trying to learn new skills, she signed up for computer office and web design training classes, and studied hard until late at night every day. Looking at her diligent figure, I am extremely admired, and I am extremely grateful to have such a virtuous wife as her to fight side by side with me.
Slowly, we are also beginning to see the dawn of hope. After a lot of hard work, I finally found a new job, and although the salary was not high, I was able to support my family's expenses. And Zhang Xue has also passed the certification exam in web design and is expected to find a job with a better paying package.
We started planning for the future. Perhaps it will not be long before we can be freed from this poor state of life and live a good life. Maybe one day, we can even change to a bigger house and let our son have his own separate bedroom.
Yes, as long as we are brave enough to pursue it, we will definitely be able to achieve our dreams. The gloom of life will eventually dissipate, and the sun will always shine back into our lives. I am full of good expectations for the future, and I believe that as long as we work together with one heart and one mind, we will definitely be able to break into a new world.
In this way, with the joint efforts of our husband and wife, life finally began to take a turn for the better.
Zhang Xue passed the certification exam as a web designer and soon found a job at an Internet company with a much higher salary than before. Although I am just an ordinary clerk job, with Zhang Xue's income, our financial situation has finally improved.
We no longer have to live on poverty, and we no longer have to reach out to our parents and younger brothers for money. With our sponsorship, my brother finally got a job again and started to fight for his life. My parents' health has also improved under our careful care.
In this way, the problems that once plagued us were finally solved. We bought a slightly larger house and gave our son his own bedroom. Life is finally back on track, and we live the happy life we have been waiting for.
Looking back, I am extremely grateful to have two precious relatives in my life, Zhang Xue and my son. It was they who gave me the courage and strength to move forward and rediscover the meaning of life.
With us, we will never be alone in the midst of difficulties. As long as we have this precious power, we will be able to overcome all the obstacles of life and live a beautiful life.
As Zhang Xue often said: "We are a family, and no one can force themselves." As long as we are in the same boat, we will definitely be able to forge a path of our own. "Yes, it is precisely because of this determination to work together that we can move from a desperate situation to the light again.
The road of life is tortuous and difficult, but as long as we work together, we will surely find the path to happiness. Let's continue to work hard, for ourselves and for each other, to open up a sky of our own.
Life's setbacks and tribulations are inevitable, sometimes they can put us in a desperate situation, and sometimes they can restore hope. But as long as we never give up and never give up, we will definitely be able to overcome many obstacles and live our own beautiful life.
Let us work together to open up a sky of our own with diligence and wisdom! As long as we work with one heart and one mind, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. I believe that the future will be better than today!
In this way, with the joint efforts of Zhang Xue and me, our family finally got out of the previous predicament and ushered in a new beginning in life.
Zhang Xue works as a web designer in a well-known Internet company, and her salary is much higher than before, and she can get more than 10,000 yuan per month. Although I am just an ordinary clerk job, with Zhang Xue's income, our financial situation has finally changed significantly.
With an abundant income, we can not only live a good life, but also provide some support for our parents and younger brothers. My parents' health has finally improved under our careful care. With our help, my brother gradually regained hope and courage in life, and soon found a good job.
With the financial foundation secured, our family's life is finally back on track. We moved into a new house of 120 square meters, with a spacious living room, kitchen, and most importantly, my son finally had his own separate bedroom.
When decorating a new house, we realize the ideals in our hearts one by one. The living room is decorated with furniture designed by Zhang Xue herself, the dining room is hung with a photo of our family, and the son's bedroom is decorated with lively and interesting decorations. Every corner is filled with a warm atmosphere, and every bit of our family is gathered in this new home.
In this way, the problems that once plagued us were finally solved. We lived the long-awaited happy life, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Looking back, I am extremely grateful to have two precious relatives in my life, Zhang Xue and my son. It is because of their companionship and support that I was able to regain my courage in the most desperate times and find the strength to move forward in the most difficult times.
