Zhang Xiaoming is 35 years old and an ordinary office worker. He gets along well with his daughter-in-law Li Xue and their two children, and is an ordinary and happy family.
Recently, Zhang Xiaoming's father-in-law and mother-in-law are not in good health and often have to go to the hospital for examinations. In order to take care of her in-laws, Li Xue often had to go to their house, resulting in Zhang Xiaoming being the only one left in the house. One day, Zhang Xiaoming couldn't stand it anymore, so he called Li Xue and complained: "Your brother's room is small, I'll go to your house to live." That way you can take good care of your parents, and I don't have to be busy alone. "
Li Xue listened, smiled and said, "Then you have to serve my parents well, don't get into trouble." "
A few days later, Zhang Xiaoming moved to his parents-in-law's house. At first, he was quite happy that he could finally be relieved. The father-in-law and mother-in-law were also very happy to see Zhang Xiaoming coming, after all, there was a young man by his side to take care of them, and they were also a lot more relieved.
"Xiaoming, it's up to you to take care of us in the future. The father-in-law patted Zhang Xiaoming on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. Zhang Xiaoming replied with a smile.
But within a few days, Zhang Xiaoming found that he couldn't adapt to his parents-in-law's life and rest at all. Their old man got up early in the morning, and Zhang Xiaoming has always been a night owl. They started taking a nap at noon, and Zhang Xiaoming was at the peak of his work. They went to bed early at night, but Zhang Xiaoming was just starting to get busy.
One night, Zhang Xiaoming was watching TV in the living room, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law came to count why he didn't sleep so late.
"It's so late, you still don't sleep? It's not good to sleep late, it's not good for your health. The mother-in-law said.
Zhang Xiaoming was very unhappy, so he quarreled with Li Xue, saying that her parents were too lenient and did not respect his life and rest at all.
"They're doing it for your own good, don't be too much. Li Xue persuaded.
After the quarrel, Zhang Xiaoming calmed down and thought about it, and found that in fact, his parents-in-law did not have malicious intentions, but only out of good intentions. Their generation was raised in this way, and they felt that going to bed late was not good for their health. Zhang Xiaoming can't live completely according to his own way, after all, he is a guest at someone else's house.
So, Zhang Xiaoming decided to take the initiative to adapt to the lifestyle of his parents-in-law. In the morning, he would get up early and accompany them to exercise and chat. At noon, he would quietly read a book or surf the Internet next to his parents-in-law while they took a nap. In the evening, he will try to rest as early as possible to avoid disturbing them.
Gradually, the relationship between Zhang Xiaoming and his parents-in-law became more and more harmonious. They were also very grateful to see Zhang Xiaoming's efforts. Sometimes they would do sports together, with his father-in-law teaching Zhang Xiaoming tai chi and his mother-in-law teaching him chess. Slowly, they became as close as father and son.
One night, while the family was watching TV and chatting in the living room, my father-in-law suddenly fell to the ground holding his heart. Zhang Xiaoming was frightened and quickly called an ambulance. At the hospital, the doctor said that my father-in-law's heart attack had suddenly worsened, and his condition was very critical and that he needed surgery as soon as possible. Zhang Xiaoming and his mother-in-law both cried into tears.
"Doctor, my father's illness must be cured! at all costs!" The mother-in-law grabbed the doctor's hand and pleaded.
The doctor said, "The cost of the operation is hundreds of thousands, and your family has to be prepared for this money." "
Zhang Xiaoming immediately called Li Xue, but she was at a loss. The family discussed and discussed, and finally had to decide to take out a loan first to save their father-in-law's life.
"I'm sorry, but based on your current financial situation, it is difficult for our bank to approve your loan application. The bank clerk said.
Zhang Xiaoming almost cried and begged them: "Please, my father-in-law's life fell on this, you can do well, approve our loan!"
Finally, under the repeated pleas of Zhang Xiaoming and Li Xue, the bank reluctantly approved a loan to them. After getting the money, they immediately asked the doctor to operate on their father-in-law. Although the operation was extremely difficult, it was successfully completed! The father-in-law passed the life-threatening period, and the family was very happy.
Since then, Zhang Xiaoming has cherished every day with his father-in-law even more. This experience made him realize that family is far more important than any money. Without the support and encouragement of his family, he would not have been able to get through this difficult time alone. It was his family that gave him the courage and strength to face all difficulties.
"Thank you, you have given me strength. Zhang Xiaoming said gratefully to his family.
Since then, Zhang Xiaoming has worked harder to make money, hoping to create a better living environment for his family. He began to live frugally, spending as little money as possible, saving all his money to pay off his loans in the future. Sometimes Li Xue would feel very distressed when she saw Zhang Xiaoming working so hard, but he told her that it was all for their family.
"The money I make now is all about making our lives better and better. Rest assured, we'll get through it. Zhang Xiaoming said firmly.
Zhang Xiaoming also began to cherish everything in front of him more. In the past, he always thought that his life was too boring and boring, and always wanted to travel and enjoy life. But after this incident, he found that as long as his family is still around, it is the greatest happiness. He began to spend as much time as possible with his family, chat more, and interact more.
After about half a year, my father-in-law finally made a complete recovery. His body is healthier and stronger than before, and he continues to exercise every day. Seeing him so energetic, Zhang Xiaoming and his mother-in-law were sincerely happy.
One day, the whole family gathered together for a big meal and had a great time. My father-in-law said happily: "If Xiaoming hadn't come to live with us, I might not have survived that critical illness." "
Zhang Xiaoming smiled and said, "Yes, if I hadn't come to live at your house, you might have no one to take care of." Our family is a family with a common destiny, blessings and hardships. "
Everyone laughed. Since then, the family has become more united and friendly. They take care of each other, care for each other, and do their best to make this little family happy and healthy forever.
The unity and friendship of Zhang Xiaoming's family also affected the people around them. Their neighbors praised and envied such a happy family from the bottom of their hearts.
"Your family is so happy, it's enviable. Aunt Wang, a neighbor, said to Zhang Xiaoming with a smile, "If only my family were so united." "
Zhang Xiaoming smiled: "Happiness needs to be managed with heart. As long as everyone truly loves each other and understands each other, they will be happy. "
Since then, the relationship between Aunt Wang and her husband has become more harmonious. She often comes over to ask Zhang Xiaoming some principles of how to behave and deal with things, and Zhang Xiaoming is also willing to answer for them.
Once, one of Mr. Zhang's friends asked him out for a drink and a party, saying it was to celebrate his booming business. Zhang Xiaoming politely declined.
"If I don't go, I want to spend more time with my family now. Zhang Xiaoming said with a smile.
Since then, Zhang Xiaoming has devoted most of his time and energy to his family. He minimizes his overtime hours and accompanies his children to do homework and chat every day when he comes home from work. On weekends, he would take his family out for picnics.
"Daddy, hasn't you been loving us a lot lately?" The eldest son once said.
Zhang Xiaoming smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are Dad's greatest happiness." I want to cherish what is in front of me. "
The father-in-law and mother-in-law were also sincerely relieved to see Zhang Xiaoming treating his family so attentively. They often privately praise Zhang Xiaoming for being a good son-in-law and a responsible and good man.
In this way, the family lived happily. Occasionally, there will inevitably be some small contradictions and frictions, but as long as everyone knows how to be considerate and tolerant, they will definitely be resolved.
Once, Zhang Xiaoming was angry with Li Xue at home because of the pressure of work. Seeing Li Xue's aggrieved look, Zhang Xiaoming immediately regretted it.
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. Zhang Xiaoming apologized with a smile, "You have worked hard, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." "
Li Xue was relieved to see Zhang Xiaoming so sincere. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand you." As long as you can realize the mistake, we still have a chance. "
In this way, Zhang Xiaoming's family loves each other and lives in harmony. There will be ups and downs from time to time, but as long as everyone understands and supports each other, we will be able to get through any difficulties.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the children are adults. They already have their own careers and families, but they still come back often to be with their parents. During the festive season, the family always gathers together and has a good time.
Zhang Xiaoming often wonders if his family would have been so happy and harmonious if he hadn't gone to live with his parents-in-law back then? He sincerely thanked God and his family for giving him the courage and strength to face all the difficulties of life. As long as everyone works with one heart and one mind and cares for each other, we will be able to be happy and healthy.
As time passed, Zhang Xiaoming's children also started families and formed their own small families. Whenever a new family member joins, Zhang Xiaoming's family will happily welcome the arrival and love this new member as their own.
After the eldest son Zhang Tao got married, his daughter-in-law was still very restrained when she first came to the house, for fear of doing something wrong and making people unhappy. But it didn't take long for it to melt away from this hospitable family.
"Mom, you just treat me as a member of the family, don't be so polite. Zhang Tao's daughter-in-law said to Zhang Xiaoming's wife Li Xue with a smile.
Li Xue smiled and stepped forward to hug her: "You are my family, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask us." "
Since then, Zhang Tao's daughter-in-law has been completely integrated into this big family. She also learned to take care of her in-laws and share the household chores as much as she could. Sometimes when she is tired after work, she will lean on Li Xue's arms and be coquettish.
"Mom, I'm so tired, you can help me. "
Li Xue would touch her head and be as gentle and considerate as her own daughter.
The daughter-in-law of the youngest son Zhang Hao is also a lively and cheerful girl. When she entered the door, she was like a family with Zhang Xiaoming, and she had no life at all. During the festive season, she prepares a variety of delicacies to make the whole family salivate.
"Sister, your skills are really amazing, much better than me!" The mother-in-law smiled and complimented her.
Zhang Hao's daughter-in-law was praised and waved her hand embarrassedly: "Wherever you are, you teach it well." "
In this way, Zhang Xiaoming's family lived happily and lively. Everyone cares for each other and understands each other, just like a whole, and no one can do without anyone.
"What are you thinking about?" The father-in-law came over on crutches.
Zhang Xiaoming smiled: "I'm thinking, if that incident hadn't happened back then, wouldn't our family be so happy?"
The father-in-law nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, that incident made our family more united." The spirit of your desperate dedication at that time was seen in our eyes and touched. "
Zhang Xiaoming waved his hand again and again: "That's all as it should be, the lives of your family members are more important than anything else." "
The father-in-law smiled and patted Zhang Xiaoming's shoulder: "With a good son-in-law like you, your mother-in-law and I have put down the burden of the rest of our lives." You will be happier. "
Listening to his father-in-law's words, Zhang Xiaoming's heart was extremely warm. Yes, the reason why their family can be so happy is because everyone loves each other and helps each other. As long as they always care for each other and support each other, they will definitely be able to go to the last journey of life happily and well.
Not long ago, Zhang Xiaoming was promoted to general manager of the company. However, he is not too obsessed with money and status. All his thoughts are on the bits and pieces of being with his family.
Once, one of Zhang Xiaoming's subordinates persuaded him to make more money: "Lao Zhang, you are now the general manager, you should take advantage of this opportunity, make more money, and enjoy happiness in the future!"
Zhang Xiaoming shook his head with a smile: "I am already very rich, I have a happy family, this is my greatest wealth." No amount of money can buy the happiness and warmth of your family. "
Since then, Zhang Xiaoming has focused most of his energy on work and family. At work, he is conscientious and makes the company's business prosperous. After work, he would rush home non-stop to accompany his wife and children and serve his in-laws.
On weekends, he would take the whole family to the countryside for picnics. Looking at the happy scene of the family, Zhang Xiaoming will be extremely satisfied. Yes, this is his greatest pursuit and dream, to have a happy family.
There is still a long way to go in life, and Zhang Xiaoming believes that as long as their family always cares for and supports each other, they will definitely be able to reach the end and be happy and healthy.
