My name is Zhang Hua and I am the hero of this story. I was born in an ordinary Chinese family, I have a son named Zhang Lei and a daughter named Zhang Ting. My wife and I are working people, living an ordinary and industrious life. Although our family is not wealthy, it can be regarded as a decent life. Until one day, I received a notice from the government that our old house was going to be demolished.
At the time, I didn't know anything about it, except that I had heard that a new house and some compensation could be obtained for demolition. When I heard the news, I excitedly told my family, thinking that our lives would be better for the better. What I didn't expect, however, was that the demolition process would become a storm for my family.
I was shocked and delighted when I learned that we were going to get two demolished houses. This is great news for us. However, my son Zhang Lei expressed strong dissatisfaction: "I am your son, why can my sister also get a house?" His words made me feel a little embarrassed, but I thought that my daughter was also my own flesh and blood, and she also needed a stable home.
My wife said noncommittally, "Children, you have to understand that your parents are the same to you. These two houses are for your own good, so don't let these little things affect our family relationship. ”
However, things didn't go as smoothly as I had imagined. After the demolition, my son Zhang Lei got a spacious and bright new house, but he didn't show much joy, but often complained that the new house was too far away from his unit and the transportation was inconvenient. And my daughter Zhang Ting agreed to marry her husband's family, and she doesn't seem to plan to come back to live. It made me feel a little lost, and the cohesion of the family seemed to be fading.
"Mom, after I get married to Li Huijun, let's stay at his house, and you and Dad don't have to worry about me. Zhang Ting said.
"However, you and Lei Lei are our children, and we hope that you can all be by our side. My wife's tone was full of helplessness.
"I know, but Li Huijun and I have jobs and our own lives here, and I think it's more suitable for us to stay here. Zhang Ting said firmly.
"Well, now that you've decided, we can only respect your choice. I sighed helplessly.
At this time, I felt a faint sense of loss in my heart. Little did I know that the demolition of the house would have such an impact on my family relationships. I tried to comfort myself and tell myself that it was just a transition period and that maybe it would get better later. However, I always felt an indescribable bitterness.
After the son and daughter settled down, the home became extremely deserted. My wife and I were in a spacious new house, but we felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness. Our son Zhang Lei rarely goes home to visit us due to his busy work, and even when he comes back occasionally, he seems absent-minded. And our daughter Zhang Ting almost doesn't go home anymore, and we can only rely on phone calls and text messages to keep in touch.
"Hua, it's the two of us at home these days, and I feel so lonely. The wife sat on the couch and muttered to herself.
"yes, I think too. I sighed bitterly, "However, the children have grown up, and it's time to have a life of their own." ”
"Still, I felt a little lonely. The wife rubbed her hands gently, "Our house used to be bustling, but now it has become so deserted. ”
I looked at my wife, and my heart was full of helplessness and guilt. We used to do our best for our children's future, but now we find that our family ties don't seem to be getting closer because of this, but rather more distant.
"Perhaps, we should take the initiative to go to them and communicate with them more. "I tried to make a suggestion.
"Maybe. The wife nodded, but she could see that her mood had not improved, "However, Zhang Lei is always so busy, and I don't know if he will have time to come and see us." ”
"We can give him a call first and ask him if he has time to come over lately. "I tried to comfort my wife.
"Okay, I'll give it a try. The wife picked up the mobile phone and began to call Zhang Lei.
With the efforts of my wife, we finally made an appointment for Zhang Lei to come over and have a meal with us. When he appeared at the door, I saw the exhaustion and impatience on his face, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad. However, I tried my best to keep a smile and greet him.
"Dad, Mom, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Lei asked as he took off his shoes.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you more. "I tried to lighten the mood.
"Oh, okay. Zhang Lei answered casually, and then sat on the sofa.
"Zhang Lei, have you been working well lately?" asked his wife with concern.
"It's okay, it's just a bit busy. Zhang Lei shrugged helplessly, "Work is like this, no one can be smooth sailing." ”
"However, you should also pay attention to rest, and don't neglect your body for the sake of work. I persuaded.
"Got it, got it. Zhang Lei waved his hand impatiently, "Don't worry about me all the time, I know what I'm doing." ”
Looking at Zhang Lei's appearance, my heart was full of helplessness and distress. He's grown up and has his own job and life, and I can't keep nagging him like I used to. However, as a parent, I still want him to be able to live a happy life instead of being exhausted all day long trying to work.
"Okay, don't talk about that, come, let's eat. "I tried to change the subject and break the awkward atmosphere.
So, we sat around the table as a family and started to enjoy dinner. Although my home is becoming more and more deserted, I feel extra warm inside at this moment. Maybe that's the power of family, and we can spend it together, no matter what happens.
After dinner, Zhang Lei hurriedly said goodbye and returned to his busy work. Leaving my wife and I relatively speechless, with a bit of loss in our hearts. Looking at the frustration on my wife's face, I feel extremely distressed, but what can I do?
"Hua, do you think we should look for Tingting?" the wife suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
"Well, maybe you can try. I nodded, "However, I don't think we can force it too much, and we still have to respect her choice." ”
"I know, but I miss her so much. The wife's eyes glistened with tears, "She is our baby, and we can't afford to lose her." ”
In my heart, like my wife, I miss my daughter very much. So, we decided to give our daughter a call and see if she would like to come home and have a look. The wife picked up her mobile phone and dialed her daughter's number, but the other party did not answer. I looked at my wife's depressed expression and felt a pang of disappointment in my heart.
"Maybe she's busy, let's call back later. "I tried to comfort my wife.
"Well, okay. The wife nodded, but she still couldn't hide the loss in her heart.
In the days that followed, my wife and I tried our best to adjust our mindsets and try to make life a little more fulfilling. We started to pay attention to the things around us, and we tried to go to some community events and get together with some friends. Although these are only temporary adjustments, they can at least make us forget the loneliness and loss at home for a while.
However, just when we thought that everything would slowly get better, an unexpected news broke our peace. One day, I received a call from a stranger, claiming to be looking for Zhang Lei. Confused, I took the phone and asked what the other party meant.
"Hello, I'm Li Huijun. A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am Zhang Ting's husband, and I heard that you are her father, so I specially called you." ”
When I heard this man claiming to be Zhang Ting's husband, I was shocked. This surprised me a little, I didn't know that my daughter was married, let alone who her husband was. I felt a strong sense of curiosity and concern about what this person was looking for me.
"Are you saying Zhang Ting is married?" I tried to confirm the other party's identity.
"Yes, Zhang Ting and I have been married for seven years. Li Huijun said calmly, "I called you because Zhang Ting has been feeling a little unwell recently, and I want you to know about the situation." ”
When I heard that something was wrong with my daughter's body, I immediately felt a wave of panic and worry. I hurriedly asked about the other party's daughter's specific situation, hoping to find a solution as soon as possible. On the phone, Li Huijun and I had a detailed discussion about our daughter's condition and discussed the next treatment plan. Although I am still full of worry and anxiety, at least I know that my daughter will not be alone in this problem now.
When I hung up, I was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. I know my daughter's situation may not be good right now, but I can't go to see her right away because I don't know if she wants to see me. This made me feel an inexplicable sense of loss and helplessness, and I could only silently pray that my daughter would recover soon so that I could see her again.
When we learned about our daughter's situation, my wife and I were filled with anxiety and worry. We kept calling our daughter to ask about her condition, but each time we were told that she was resting and couldn't answer the phone. This made us feel even more worried, wondering what was wrong with our daughter.
"Hua, do you think we should go see Tingting?" asked his wife anxiously.
"I want to go too, but I don't know if she wants to see us. I shook my head helplessly, "And I don't know where she lives now, and we can't find her when we go." ”
"However, she is not in good health right now, and we can't just sit idly by. Tears glistened in his wife's eyes, "I'm really worried about her." ”
My heart was also full of helplessness and guilt, and I knew that now we could no longer sit idly by, and we had to go and see my daughter as soon as possible. So, I discussed it with my wife and decided to ask some friends to help me find my daughter's place as soon as possible.
After some hard work, we finally learned that our daughter lived in a small neighborhood in the city. So, without hesitation, my wife and I set out on the road to our daughter's house. Although my heart is still full of worries and uneasiness, I believe that as long as we can see our daughter, everything will be fine.
When I arrived at my daughter's door, I knocked on the door, filled with anticipation and unease. A moment later, the door was opened, and a strange man appeared, looking at my wife and me with a hint of doubt and wariness in his eyes.
"Hello, I am Zhang Hua, this is my wife, and we are Zhang Ting's parents. I tried to explain, "We heard that Tingting has been unwell lately, so we came to see her. ”
Hearing our words, the man's expression softened a little, and he nodded to us and motioned for us to enter the house. We followed his guidance into the house, full of anticipation and worry.
The house was clean and tidy, and it was clear that the daughter and her husband were living a fairly stable life. I was secretly glad that at least my daughter was taken care of and would not be alone in the face of illness.
"Zhang Ting, your parents have come to see you. The man shouted into the back room.
A moment later, my daughter walked out, and when she saw us, a flash of surprise and guilt flashed in her eyes. I felt a pang of pain in my heart, and I knew that she was surprised and upset by our sudden visit.
"Mom, Dad, why are you here all of a sudden?" the daughter asked with some hesitation.
"We heard that you've been unwell lately, so we came out of here to see you. I looked at my daughter distressedly, "What's wrong with you, are you feeling better?"
My daughter lowered her head a little embarrassed, and she told us that she had just caught a cold and that she had gotten better. But I could see that her face was not good, and her eyes were a little lonely and helpless. My heart was full of worry, but I didn't know how to comfort her.
"Tingting, have you been under a lot of pressure at work lately?" asked his wife with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that I've been a little busy lately. The daughter smiled helplessly, "However, there is no big problem." ”
"You have to take good care of yourself, don't always neglect your body for the sake of work. I advised, "The body is the capital of the revolution, you have to take good care." ”
My daughter nodded, indicating that she would pay attention, but I knew that her job was not easy, and it would not be easy to get her to let go of what she was doing.
Seeing that my daughter was feeling a little down, my wife and I tried to encourage and comfort her, hoping to cheer her up. Although this meeting was only a short meeting, I felt extremely satisfied and warm in my heart. At least now we know that our daughter is not alone in facing problems, she has a husband who loves her and cares for her by her side.
After a brief time with our daughter, the worries in my wife and I didn't completely dissipate, but at least we were relieved. Back home, my wife and I started to think seriously about family relationships, and we realized that we might have made some mistakes as our children were growing up.
"Hua, what should we do now?" asked his wife worriedly.
"I think we should care more about the children, communicate more with them, and let them feel our love and care. I took a deep breath and thought seriously, "We can no longer make our children feel like we are doing our duties as parents, but we should let them feel our genuine love and care." ”
"You're right, we can't be the same anymore. The wife nodded, "We need to learn more about the children's thoughts and needs, respect their choices, and help them solve their problems." ”
"Yes, we want to be their friends, not just parents. I added, "Only in this way will we be able to build a real family relationship and make our family more harmonious and happy." ”
So, my wife and I decided to change our attitudes and behaviors and try to care for and support our children, so that they can feel our genuine love and care. We began to take the initiative to chat with Zhang Lei and Zhang Ting, ask them about their recent life and work, and help them solve problems as much as possible.
Thanks to our efforts, the family relationship gradually became harmonious. Zhang Lei and Zhang Ting are also willing to communicate with us more and share their joys, sorrows and sorrows. We sat around as a family, telling each other's stories, and laughter and joy filled the room.
After a period of hard work, our family relationship has improved dramatically. Although there are still various conflicts and problems in the family, we are willing to use love and tolerance to resolve these problems and make our family more harmonious and happy.
In the end, our family spent an unforgettable evening together and enjoyed the blissful moment of reunion. On this special night, I deeply felt the power of family, which is the warmest harbor in our lives and the most solid support for us. I know that as long as we are united in love, our family will always be happy.
