"Son, when you have time, you must go and see your aunt. My mother held my hand, her eyes full of expectation, "It's not easy for her to be home alone." "
I nodded, actually having some doubts about my aunt's living situation. In my memory, my aunt's family was poor when she was young and suffered a lot of hardships, and our family sympathized with her. However, my mother loved my aunt like a sister, and her instructions naturally made me readily agree.
"Okay Mom, I'll go see my aunt. I hugged my mother and smiled comfortingly. My aunt has always been a kind and simple person, I have respect for her, and I will do my filial piety and take care of her old age.
Pushing open the door of my aunt's house, a faint fragrance of tea came to my nose. Auntie was already waiting at the door, with an amiable smile on her face: "Ouch, it's Xiaohui, please come in, please come in." "
"Auntie, it's been a long time. "I sincerely said that my aunt's face was much older than I remembered, but her demeanor was still kind and natural.
"yes, the last time I saw you was years ago. My aunt beckoned me to sit down as she spoke, "Look, I'm doing okay, right?"
I looked around, and although my aunt's home was plainly furnished, it was clean and tidy, revealing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. I can't help but feel surprised, I have the impression that my aunt was surrounded by walls when she was young, but now she lives such a comfortable life.
"Auntie, your living environment is really good. I sincerely admired, and my aunt smiled and made me a cup of fragrant tea, and her movements were skillful and elegant.
"You see, such a small house is perfect for me alone. My aunt said, placing a plate of dim sum in front of me, "Try it, I made it myself." "
"Auntie, I heard from my mother that it was not easy for you to live when you were young. I asked cautiously, "I wonder how you got through those difficult years?"
I looked at my aunt's helpless expression, and a burst of sympathy welled up in my heart. Her hands twisted together unconsciously, as if recalling the painful past.
"I suffered a lot in those years, but I never wanted to give up. Auntie's tone was firmer, "Because I know that as long as I work hard, I can live a good life one day." "
My aunt paused, looked at me with resolute eyes, and seemed determined to tell the story of her heart.
"Later, I met your uncle, who was very kind to me and gave me great support and encouragement. With him by my side, I have the courage to continue fighting. Speaking of this, a warm smile appeared on the aunt's face.
I could hear the deep affection in her words, and I couldn't help but be moved by this poignant love story. The aunt held the teacup and continued in a muttered voice: "Your uncle is also an orphan, and his background is as miserable as mine. But we supported each other and worked hard little by little with our own hands, and finally got through. "
I looked at my aunt's extremely strong expression, and I had mixed feelings in my heart. She is filled with a unique positive energy that is very inspiring to me. My aunt's experience tells me that as long as I have a dream and work hard for it, I will definitely be able to overcome the merciless blow of fate.
"In those years, we lived a very frugal life, and the money we saved was used to start a business. Auntie's eyes became more and more determined, "We started from scratch and opened a small workshop. At that time, life was hard, but we were never discouraged. Just thinking about one day being able to live a good life gives us endless motivation. "
Speaking of this, the corners of my aunt's mouth flashed with a proud smile. I can imagine what kind of dreams and determination she and her uncle had back then. I really admire this tenacious fighting spirit.
"Later, the workshop was started, and the business became more and more prosperous. With some savings, we expanded the workshop into a small factory. "Although the process is very difficult, as long as you persevere, you will definitely succeed." In this way, we made the small factory bigger and stronger little by little, and finally came out of it!"
I was in awe, and I was deeply touched by my aunt's words. Yes, whether a person can achieve happiness or not depends fundamentally on his own struggle. Only after experiencing hardships can we truly appreciate the sweetness of success. I looked at my aunt's proud expression, and her eyes shone with yearning and expectation for a better life.
"But, you know what?" Auntie took a deep breath and seemed to be trying to calm herself down, "It was at that time that I realized a very important truth. "
I looked at her quizzically, her eyes looking past the pain and revealing a tenacity that I had never seen before.
"I realized that the hardships and poverty of my youth were not really unhappiness. My aunt said categorically, "On the contrary, it was our dreams and struggles at that time that made my life and that of your uncle full and meaningful." The real misfortune is that after our career was successful, your uncle left me. "
It dawned on me that my aunt's words were like a slap in the face, and they woke me up hard. I began to reflect on my perception of "happiness", and my aunt's life experience gave me a new enlightenment.
"Yes, after your uncle left, I was devastated and fell into a desperate situation for a while. The aunt sighed, her eyes gloomy, "But then I figured it out, our hard work for so many years was not in vain. We have created a dream with our own hands, and although your uncle has passed away, I will continue to work hard to continue this dream. "
I looked at my aunt's resolute eyes and was deeply impressed by her wisdom in life. Yes, the poverty of youth is only temporary, and you will be able to get rid of it through your own struggle; But once you miss happiness, you may regret it for the rest of your life. My aunt's words were like a beacon, illuminating my new perception of "happiness".
"Since then, I've taken full responsibility for the small factory. I told myself that I must fulfill your uncle's last wish and live the good life he once dreamed of. The aunt said earnestly, "I redoubled my efforts and finally developed the small factory." In this way, I relied on my own hands to live the comfortable life you see. "
I looked at my aunt's calm and relaxed expression, and my heart was deeply touched. It turns out that the true meaning of happiness does not lie in material abundance, but in whether a person has the courage to strive for oneself and whether one cherishes everything in front of him. My aunt wrote this truth with her own life, which gave me unprecedented inspiration.
I looked at my aunt's indifferent expression, and my heart stirred up unprecedented feelings. With her perseverance in her life process, I understood the profound connotation of the wise saying "being blessed when you are young is not a blessing, but being blessed when you are old is a blessing".
"Auntie, I don't even know how to praise you. I said from the bottom of my heart, "Your life experience has inspired me so much, and I have learned a lot. "
"Actually, I've been confused in the past. When your uncle passed away, my heart was so painful and desperate. But then I came to understand that the value of life is not about how much money you have, but about whether you work hard to achieve your dreams. "
I stared intently at my aunt, savoring the meaning behind each of her words. She continued: "When we are young, we tend to be too much of a material wealth, thinking that as long as we have money and status, we are happy to have it. But when you get older, you will find that money, fame and fortune are actually illusory things, and what really matters is whether you have fought bravely for your life goals. "
I nodded, and my aunt's words struck me in the heart. Yes, we are often easily blinded by our financial status and neglect the pursuit of a higher level in life. It is only with the precipitation of the years that we can realize that true happiness comes from the process of realizing our dreams little by little with our own hands.
"You see, although your uncle and I were very poor when we were young, we had dreams and fought bravely for them. Auntie's tone was firm and powerful, "Although the process was difficult, we never gave up. It is precisely because of this persistent pursuit that we finally survived and lived a happy and contented life. "
It dawned on me that my aunt's lifelong struggle was to realize her dream. Despite countless hardships, she never wavered in her inner faith. It is this persistent pursuit of her dreams that made her happy in the end. I was deeply impressed by my aunt's spirit, and I had a deeper understanding of the life philosophy of "being lucky when you are young is not a blessing, but being blessed when you are old is a blessing".
"But, when your uncle died, my heart was broken. The aunt was sad, and seemed to fall into the painful memories of the year, "I thought that our struggle for so many years would come to naught, and my life would lose its meaning." "
I can understand the despair in my aunt's heart at that time, how helpless and confused she must have been when the most important pillars of her life and dreams were gone. But my aunt didn't give up, and she soon rekindled her hopes and expectations for life.
"Later, when I thought about it, I realized that our struggle was not in vain. The aunt said earnestly, "Although your uncle has left, we have created our dreams with our own hands, which is the most valuable wealth." I am determined to continue this dream so that your uncle's last wish will not be in vain. "
I looked at my aunt's firm eyes and was deeply touched. It turns out that the true meaning of happiness lies in this, not whether you have the achievement you dreamed of, but whether you have fought bravely for it. Only after experiencing hardships can we truly appreciate the sweetness of realizing our dreams.
"Since then, I've put all my heart and soul into the business of the small factory. Auntie's tone was firm and powerful, "I told myself that I must realize your uncle's dream, this is the greatest tribute to him." In this way, with my own hands, I finally lived the comfortable life you see. And all of this stems from my persistent pursuit of dreams. "
I looked at my aunt's proud expression, and my heart was full of admiration. She used her own life journey to let me understand the true meaning of happiness. It turns out that happiness does not lie in how much money and status you have, but in whether you have fought bravely for your dreams. Only after experiencing hardships can we experience the sweetness of realizing our dreams. Auntie is the best interpretation of this persistent pursuit.
