Just after the Qingming Festival, the sky was so clear that it was almost transparent, and Li Jingyi had just finished watering the flowers in the living room when her mobile phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the caller ID was the eldest brother Li Daqiang, she pressed the answer button with some hesitation.
"Jingyi, do you have any arrangements for May Day? Come to my side, my little nephew has always mentioned you. The eldest brother's voice sounded gentle and familiar.
Jingyi sighed softly, she knew that there was more to this invitation than just a family reunion. "Big brother, I'm ......"
Li Daqiang seemed to sense her hesitation, and quickly added: "I know you may still be thinking about Xiao Gang, but I really hope that you can be on my side this time." After all, you know what's going on at home......"
On the other end of the phone, Jingyi's mood was complicated. She fiddled with the phone line, trying to find the right words. "Big brother, I'll think about it. May Day I try to pass as much as possible. ”
Hanging up the phone, before Jingyi had time to think about it, the phone rang again, this time it was her second brother Li Xiaogang. She took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
"Little sister, come back on May Day, sister-in-law made your favorite braised pork. Xiao Gang's voice can always bring a hint of relief, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the eldest brother, I have a sense of proportion in the affairs of the family." ”
Jingyi chuckled, "Xiaogang, I know you know what you know, but the eldest brother also has his difficulties, you ......"
"I know, I know, but I really need you to help me convince Big Brother this time. We need to find a win-win way. Xiao Gang interrupted her, with unmistakable persistence in his tone.
After the call, Jingyi leaned on the sofa, looking at the blue sky outside the window, with mixed feelings. The phone calls of the two brothers were like two forces pulling her, making it difficult for her to balance. She knows that this May Day is not just a simple family gathering, but also an opportunity for family reconciliation. She must choose carefully and wisely.
She decided to call her mother first, maybe the wisdom of the elders could give her some inspiration. "Mom, it's me, Jingyi. May Day I'm a little embarrassed......"
As the call progressed, Jingyi slowly cleared her mind. She needs a plan that can both relieve her eldest brother and satisfy Xiaogang. She was determined that this May Day, she wanted to get her family back together, even if it required her to make more efforts.
On the eve of May Day, Li Jingyi went to the eldest brother Li Daqiang's house first according to the plan. Walking into the eldest brother's house, the atmosphere in the living room seemed a little dull. When Li Daqiang saw his sister visiting, his expression was slightly relaxed, but he soon became solemn again.
"Jingyi, you're here. The eldest brother took a deep breath and seemed to be brewing words, "I ...... about that inheritance"
Jing Yi interrupted him: "Big brother, I want to hear your thoughts, but I also want to know, why is it the way it is?"
Li Daqiang looked out the window and said slowly: "Do you remember that my father said before his death that the family's wealth is to maintain the harmony and happiness of the family. But Xiao Gang ...... He always felt like I was using the inheritance to control him. ”
Jing Yi said softly, "Big brother, I understand your hardship, but we need to find a way to make Xiao Gang feel respected as well." ”
Li Daqiang nodded, with a wry smile on his face: "I also want to reconcile, really." ”
Two days later, Jingyi went to Li Xiaogang's house again. The atmosphere in Xiao Gang's home is obviously much more relaxed, but when the topic touches on the legacy, Xiao Gang's face is also covered with clouds.
"Jingyi, you know I'm not the kind of person who is greedy. Xiao Gang sat on the sofa with his hands folded on his knees, "But the way my eldest brother handled these things made me feel very uncomfortable." He always put his father's words on his lips, but he didn't really understand what he meant. ”
Jing Yi held Xiao Gang's hand: "I know, Xiao Gang." How do you want to solve this problem?"
Xiao Gang sighed: "I hope we can sit down, three of us, and talk openly and honestly." Find a solution that is acceptable to all of us. ”
Jingyi had the answer in her heart, and she decided to organize a family party on May Day, where the eldest brother and the little brother sat down and solved the problem face-to-face. "That's good, Gang. At this gathering, we are all going to work on it once. ”
Leaving Xiaogang's house, Jingyi thought about the words of her two brothers on the way home. She knows it's not just about legacy, it's about how the family moves forward. This gathering may be a new beginning.
After two in-depth interviews, Li Jingyi felt that the root of the problem was deeper than what appeared on the surface. She realizes that if she can't get her two brothers to sit down and solve the problem face to face, the rift in the family will only grow. On the night before May Day, Jingyi sent a message to each of her two brothers, offering her proposal.
"Big brother, Xiao Gang, I think we can sit down together on May Day and have a good talk. Jingyi started a chat in the WeChat group.
After Li Daqiang read the news, he hesitated for a while and made a call: "Jingyi, do you think this can solve the problem?"
Jingyi picked up the phone and said in a firm tone: "Big brother, we have to try." Face-to-face communication is much more direct than being on the phone or through messaging. ”
Li Xiaogang also replied on WeChat: "I agree with Jingyi's idea, we really need to sit down and solve the problem, instead of avoiding it." ”
Li Daqiang was silent for a while, and finally said, "Okay, then arrange it like this." ”
Jing Yi planned carefully to create a relaxed atmosphere that would help relieve tension. She decided to set up a meeting place in the garden of her home, ordered dishes that her two brothers liked, and prepared some old family photos in the hope of evoking fond memories in the hope of evoking good memories.
On May Day, the weather was unusually clear, and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, and everything looked perfect. Li Daqiang and Li Xiaogang arrived on time. Jingyi welcomed them in and said with a smile: "Today we don't talk about any contradictions, just like before, the family has a happy meal." ”
At the table, the atmosphere gradually relaxes. Jingyi led the conversation to interesting stories from childhood, and the three siblings smiled and recalled the happy times when they were children. After the meal, Jingyi took out those old photos, each of which carried the warm memories of the family.
"Look at this picture of us, how happy we were at that time. Jingyi pointed to a family photo, "We need to get back that feeling." ”
The two brothers looked at the photo, and a trace of emotion flashed in their eyes. Li Daqiang looked at Li Xiaogang, took a deep breath, and said, "Xiaogang, I know that we have had a lot of misunderstandings during this time, and today I think we can sit down and have a good talk." ”
Li Xiaogang nodded and responded: "Big brother, I am also responsible, let's find the feeling we had before." ”
As the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the garden, the three finally sat down and began a real conversation.
The atmosphere of the party was a little stiff at first. Li Daqiang and Li Xiaogang exchanged a slightly restrained look with each other and sat at both ends of the long table in the garden. Jing Yi saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, and she knew that she had to take action to break this situation.
Jingyi took out a bottle of old wine that her father treasured before his death, and said softly: "I remember that my father always opened this bottle of wine on important days, and he often said that everything is prosperous at home." Today, let's continue this tradition. ”
Li Daqiang took the wine bottle, his hand trembled a little, he opened the wine bottle and took a deep breath, as if the aroma could give him strength. "Xiao Gang, I haven't had a chance to tell you well, I may have done too arbitrarily about the inheritance. ”
Li Xiaogang looked at the eldest brother, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, he took the wine glass, took a sip, and slowly spoke: "Big brother, I also have something wrong, I know that you are for the good of the family, but we have differences in the way." ”
As the conversation deepens, Jingyi joins in the conversation, reminding her two older brothers that the family is more than a material legacy. She gives an example: "Remember when we were kids building secret bases in the backyard together, when we didn't have anything, but we had each other, and that happiness was something that no property could buy." ”
Li Daqiang and Li Xiaogang listened to these memories, and the expressions on their faces gradually softened. Li Xiaogang put down his wine glass and looked at his eldest brother seriously: "Big brother, we should really get back that innocent feeling, family harmony is more important than anything else." ”
Li Daqiang nodded, his voice a little choked: "Xiao Gang, I promise you, we will start over again from today, let's sit down and talk slowly about the inheritance, and find a way that is fair to everyone." ”
As the night deepens, the lights in the garden appear extra warm. The two brothers finally let go of the knot and hugged each other, and at this moment, tears also appeared in the corners of Jingyi's eyes. She knew that this gathering might really be a new beginning, a beginning for the family to be reunited.
The evening breeze blew in, bringing a burst of floral fragrance, and Jingyi took a deep breath, her heart full of gratitude and hope. She whispered, "Thank you, we can finally be a real family like before." ”
The mood of the party was completely transformed after a profound conversation. Li Daqiang and Li Xiaogang stood in the middle of the garden, the two looked at each other and smiled, finally breaking the long-standing barrier. Li Daqiang stretched out his hand and said to Li Xiaogang sincerely: "Xiaogang, thank you for being so honest with me today. From now on, I will be more considerate of your feelings, we are brothers and should support each other. ”
Li Xiaogang held his eldest brother's hand tightly and said with emotion: "Big brother, me too, I was too stubborn before." Some things should have been said sooner rather than later, and misunderstandings should not have been allowed to accumulate for so long. ”
The two turned to Jing Yi, and Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "Jing Yi, you let us sit down and have a good talk." Without you, we might still be arguing. ”
Li Daqiang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Jingyi, you are really like your mother today, making this family unite again." We should thank you. ”
Jingyi watched the two brothers finally reconcile, and the burden in her heart seemed to be much lighter all of a sudden. She replied with a smile: "We are a family, and I am happier than anything else to see the harmony in our home." ”
For the rest of the party, the house was filled with long-lost laughter and warmth. After dinner, the whole family looks at the family photo album and reminisces about the good old days. Everyone was sharing their own little stories, and the atmosphere was light-hearted.
After eating, Jingyi suggested that everyone set off fireworks together to celebrate this special May Day. "Come on, set off fireworks together and pray for the reunion and future of our family. Jingyi took out the fireworks prepared in advance, and everyone walked outside.
In the night sky, fireworks bloom in a colorful and beautiful way. The glow of the fireworks illuminates everyone's face and also their heart. Li Daqiang, Li Xiaogang and Jingyi stood side by side, watching the fireworks in the sky.
"It was a perfect ending. Li Daqiang said with emotion.
"No, big brother, it's a new beginning. Li Xiaogang corrected him with a smile.
Jing Yi looked at these two brothers, who had been arguing endlessly, but now they could live in harmony, and her heart was full of gratitude and hope. Today, they celebrate not only the holiday, but also the reunion of the family, which is more precious than any holiday gift.
