My family lives in the village of the township, which is a small village with a beautiful environment and simple people. To the east of the village is a green rice field, and to the west is a small stream, which is crystal clear; On the north and south sides are scattered farmhouse courtyards, with smoke curling from the cooking, outlining a picture of a quiet and peaceful countryside.
My father was the eldest in our family, and he was a hardworking and kind man. Since he was assigned to work in the township government, he has been conscientious and hardworking, and has won the appreciation of leaders and colleagues. Back home, he was a kind and kind father. During the busy farming season, he always uses his spare time to help other families in the village with farm work. Therefore, in our village, my father can be said to be a very beloved person among the villagers.
In the spring of that year, a sudden change changed our lives completely.
It was a sunny morning, and my father went to work as usual. No one could have predicted that what would happen next would be a heavy blow to our family.
"Lao Zhang, you have been accused!" In the compound of the township government, my father was surrounded by several strangers, their expressions were serious, and their tone was unquestionable.
"What?!" The father was visibly taken aback by the sudden accusation, "What do you mean by that?"
The man at the head made a straight face and threw a document in front of his father: "Someone reported with his real name, saying that you were corrupt and accepted bribes in office, and we have received an order from our superiors to temporarily remove you from your position and wait for further investigation!"
"Shut up!" The man rudely interrupted his father's words, "Wait for the review, if you can't find anything, you will naturally be cleared!"
In this way, my father was forcibly taken away, and before our family could react, he was removed from his post in the township government. For a moment, we were all in a state of extreme shock and helplessness.
My mother burst into tears, she took my hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Your father is an honest man who has never been greedy for anything, so how can anyone frame him like this?"
At the time, I also thought that this was nonsense, but when I saw the attitude of those people, I didn't dare to say anything. I could only comfort my mother: "Don't worry, when the investigation is clear, my father will definitely be able to wash away his grievances." "
The news soon spread throughout the village, and the villagers came to visit, and everyone looked sorry and puzzled.
"Hey, Lao Zhang was a hard-working person back then, we all watched him work from a young man to the present, and he is a living role model. "
"Yes, everyone knows how good he is to the old and young masters in our village. What the hell is going on?"
Everyone talked about it word by word, and their eyes were full of concern and incomprehension. Seeing the villagers love my father so much, I can't help but feel a warm current in my heart.
Seeing this, her mother took the initiative to comfort her father: "Don't feel sorry for yourself like this, our whole family believes in your innocence." Even if he is framed now, the truth will be revealed to the world one day. "
"But I've worked hard all my life, and I've been slandered as a corrupt official like this, how sad do you think I am?" Father said helplessly.
The mother looked firmly into his eyes: "Believe it, as long as you have a clear conscience, there is nothing to fear." With me by your side, you're not fighting alone. "
The father was deeply moved by his mother's words, and his eyes moistened. He nodded slightly, as if he had regained some fighting spirit.
Just when my father was just starting to come out of the haze, the villagers also began to take the initiative to visit us. They not only brought condolences, but more importantly, gave moral support and encouragement.
"Lao Zhang, you have to cheer up! Even if you are framed now, you will definitely be able to return your innocence in the future. "
"Yes, brother, we all know that you are an honest and honest person, how can you be corrupt and take bribes? I think this is clearly someone who has other thoughts about you and wants to frame you!"
"Yes, yes, Lao Zhang, you have to be tough and find out about this matter! We folks support you, and when you redeem your merits, we must celebrate and celebrate!"
Seeing this, the villagers stepped forward one after another to pat their father on the shoulder and encourage him: "You don't need to be so polite, brother! You are the backbone of our village, and we are all angry when we are wronged like this! You must cheer up, our whole village will support you!"
It was a great relief to see my father being so loved by the villagers. Yes, my father is indeed a good person who has made great contributions to the township, and I believe that with a little investigation, this grievance will be resolved.
Just when our whole family gradually regained hope, a month later, the truth was finally revealed!
It was a fine morning, and my father was farming alone at home, when a small car suddenly drove into our yard. A middle-aged man led by him got out of the car and shouted: "Master Zhang, congratulations!
Hearing this, my father's hand shook and his hoe fell to the ground. My mother and I hurried out.
The man smiled proudly and said, "Sure enough, it's an unjust case!" The higher-ups have found that the person who reported you is trying to frame you and achieve some ulterior motives. Now that everything has been clarified, your dismissal has been completely rehabilitated!"
"Really? Great!" The mother was so excited that she burst into tears, and she hugged her father tightly and cried with joy.
I couldn't stop the ecstasy in my heart, so I jumped up and hugged my father, and shouted loudly: "Father, you have finally done justice!
Father obviously hadn't come back to his senses yet, and he stood there stunned, his eyes glazed. After a while, he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.
After the villagers learned the good news, they rushed to say goodbye. They gathered around their father, patting him on the shoulder with joy and a smile of delight on their faces.
"Lao Zhang, you can be regarded as turning things around! I know you're not that kind of person!"
"Haha, you see what I'm right, right? As long as the people in our village are of one heart and one mind, no slander will attack you in the slightest!"
Even the old man, who usually speaks little, was so happy that he almost shouted out his throat today: "Okay, brother! You have finally returned your innocence, what a face for our village!"
At this moment, my father suddenly raised his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Folks, you have given me great encouragement and support during the days when I was framed, and I will remember this friendship for the rest of my life!" My father said solemnly, "Now that the truth is out, should I hate those who slander me?" but I figured it out, hatred only makes my heart heavier and heavier. So I choose to forgive them and use love to resolve the hatred I once had!"
When the villagers heard this, they were all impressed by their father's open-mindedness and tolerance, and they cheered loudly. In the midst of this warm applause, I saw tears of joy overflowing from the corners of my father's eyes.
After the news of his father being Zhaoxue spread, the enthusiasm of the villagers reached a new climax. They came to the door one after another and begged my father to return to work in the township government.
"Lao Zhang, you must resume your post in the township government! If you are such an honest and honest cadre, our village will not be worried about the lack of good leaders!"
"That's it, you're the pride of our village! If you don't go out of the mountain, it will be a pity!"
My father was moved by the sincerity of the villagers, but he still politely declined. "I'm too old to do that kind of heavy work. He smiled and said, "Why don't you let me live my old age in my hometown with peace of mind and enjoy this leisurely life." "
Although the villagers were a little unsatisfied, they didn't say anything more when they saw their father's firm demeanor. Since then, my father has lived a leisurely and idyllic life, and our family has finally escaped the nightmare experience completely.
My father refused the temptation to go back to the mountains, but that didn't mean he was in seclusion. On the contrary, he actively devoted himself to rural construction and continued to benefit the villagers in his own way.
Watching my father do this good thing for the village makes me feel very proud. Although he no longer serves in the township government, his enthusiasm for his hometown has not diminished in the slightest. And the villagers' gratitude to him is also increasing day by day.
One year, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the old and young people in the village gathered by the river to light fires, eat dumplings, and enjoy the lanterns to celebrate the festival. The moment the fireworks went off that night, my father was suddenly lifted up and held high above his head.
If he hadn't done so many good things for us in the past few years, our village would not have such a good scene as it is today!"
"That's it, Lao Zhang, you can be regarded as a great benefactor in our village! We all remember your contribution to the villagers!"
Father, apparently embarrassed by the sudden compliment, waved his hand to get everyone to let him go. But the villagers insisted on refusing, and they gathered around their father and shouted: "Long live Lao Zhang! Long live Lao Zhang!"
My eyes were moist too. Yes, my father must have been extremely relieved that he had gone through so many hardships and now that he finally received the heartfelt love of the villagers.
In this way, surrounded by the villagers, my father enjoyed his old age in peace. As the days passed, his hair grew gray, but his smile grew kinder. And our small village has become a better place because of my father's contribution.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is an early autumn a few years later.
That day, I took my two children to visit my father. Pushing open the courtyard door, I saw my father lying on a wicker chair napping, the sun shining warmly on his body. I approached softly, lest I disturb his dreams.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" The children pounced on them with joy and woke their father up. When my father opened his eyes and saw that it was us, a kind smile immediately bloomed on his face.
"Hey, it's my two good grandchildren!" The father rubbed their hair indulgently, "Here, grandpa has candy here." "
The children jumped happily, and you and I ate the candy cleanly. I watched this warm scene quietly from the sidelines, and I felt extremely happy in my heart.
"Dad, how are you doing?" I asked with concern.
Father nodded, his brows full of kindness. "Great, with you children by my side, I have no regrets in my old age. "
I looked at my father's serene face, and I couldn't help but have mixed feelings. remembered that many years ago, he was almost framed for the destruction of his family. It is very gratifying to see him living his old age in peace and well-being in this harmonious and beautiful village.
My father's life, like this village, experienced ups and downs, but in the end it ushered in a peaceful and prosperous era that had not been seen for a long time. I believe that my father used his life to influence and influence everyone around him. It is precisely because of his role model that our home will become better and better.
At that moment, a familiar call came.
"Lao Zhang, let's cook by the river, come and accompany you!"
Those were the old people of the village. When my father heard the call, he called to me and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." "
So, I took the child's little hand, followed behind the father, and slowly walked towards the laughing crowd. Along the way, I saw that the scenery in the village became more and more beautiful, and the relationship between people became more and more harmonious. And all of this stems from my father's ordinary and great heart.
