This article is purely fictional, the pictures are all network pictures, and the names of people and places are all apocryphal.
My name is Xiaofang, I have five in my Chinese New Year's Eve, I pride myself on being good-looking, my handiwork is also good, and I am a good embroiderer in the village. My boyfriend Xiaogang, who has been with me for three years, originally said that he would marry me, and the bride price was negotiated, a full 800,000 yuan. The whole village knew about this, and my mother's family had already prepared the dowry.
But just a month before our wedding, Xiao Gang suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he couldn't give up all day.
One day, he finally plucked up the courage to tell me that he was not going to marry me, but a rich girl from the city. I was stunned and asked him why, and he said hesitantly: "Xiaofang, I'm sorry for you, but her family can give me more." ”
I was so angry that I trembled, 800,000 bride price, if I didn't say it, it would be gone, how could I face the people in the village? I decided to go to the rich girl and see what she was capable of making Xiao Gang betray me.
One day, I found her, her name is Xiaoli, she is indeed more fashionable than me, and she is dressed in a way that I have never seen before. I asked her, "Why did you snatch Xiaogang?"
Xiaoli glanced at me contemptuously: "Because he also likes me, and my family conditions are good, so I can help him develop his career." I was speechless and tears rained down.
At this time, Xiao Gang appeared, and he pulled Xiao Li to leave. I was anxious and grabbed his sleeve: "Xiaogang, you can't do this to me!" He shook off my hand vigorously: "Xiaofang, don't make trouble, we are not suitable." Grief-stricken, I stood there and watched their backs go away.
At that moment, I swear, I made them regret it. Back in the village, I worked hard to turn my grief into strength. I started learning new embroidery techniques and selling my creations at the market. Unexpectedly, my craft attracted a lot of people, and the business was getting better and better.
One day, a wealthy merchant took a fancy to my craft and wanted to open an embroidery shop with me. I hesitated, but finally agreed. After several years of hard work, my embroidery shop grew bigger and bigger, and even opened a branch in the city. Just when my business was in full swing, Xiaogang and Xiaoli suddenly appeared in front of me.
They looked a little down, Xiao Gang said: "Xiao Fang, I was sorry for you back then, I regret it now, can you forgive me?" I sneered: "You only regret it now, it's too late." Xiaoli also spoke: "Xiaofang, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have snatched Xiaogang back then." Actually, we are not happy, he has been thinking about you all the time. "I looked at them, but there was no pleasure in my heart.
Finally, I said to them, "Go away, I wish you happiness." "They bowed their heads and left, while I, continuing to run my embroidery shop, lived the life I wanted. This experience taught me that women cannot rely on men, they have to rely on their own hands to create the future. And those betrayals and hurts will eventually turn into motivation to move forward. As for Xiaogang and Xiaoli, they are just passers-by in my life, and my story continues.
The days passed quietly, and my embroidery shop was already well-known in the city, and even foreign merchants came to discuss cooperation. My life was filled with the career I had dreamed of, and the pain of the past seemed a long time ago.
One sunny afternoon, an unexpected customer came to the store - Xiaogang's mother. She looked much older, and her eyes were full of exhaustion. When she saw me, her tears fell: "Xiaofang, it's my aunt who can't stand you, at that time I was forced by Xiaogang's father to be anxious, and I had to ask him to marry a daughter-in-law with a good family, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing." I handed her a handkerchief and whispered, "Auntie, it's all over, I'm doing well now." ”
She held my hand, and her tone was full of pleading: "Xiaofang, I know you are a good boy, Xiaogang is ...... He's in the hospital now, and he wants to see you. I was stunned, and a subtle wave set off in my heart. What should I do if Xiao Gang is hospitalized? I followed my aunt to the hospital and saw Xiao Gang lying on the hospital bed, he had lost a lot of weight and his face was pale.
When he saw me, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes: "Xiaofang, you are here." I forcibly held back the emotions in my heart and asked in a calm tone as much as possible, "What's wrong with you?" Xiao Gang sighed: "I have kidney disease and need a kidney replacement." Xiaoli she ...... She left me, and I now know that she didn't love me at all. The anger in my heart rose again, but I still tried to suppress it: "Then what do you need me to do now?" Xiao Gang said with difficulty: "I want to ...... I want to beg your forgiveness for me, I know I hurt you too much in the first place. I was silent for a while, and then said, "Let it pass, you can take care of it, don't think about anything else." ”
When I left the hospital, I had mixed feelings. I hate Xiaogang and hate his betrayal, but seeing his current appearance, I can't help but sympathize. People, we always know how to cherish after we have lost. At this time, my mobile phone rang, and it was the wealthy business partner, who told me that there was an international exhibition that invited our embroidery shop to participate in the exhibition. My heart moved, wasn't this the opportunity I had always dreamed of? I decided to let go of my past and devote myself to preparing for this exhibition.
And Xiao Gang, he also started a new chapter in his life. We are all on our own paths, trying to move forward. After several months of intense preparation, our embroidery works shined in international exhibitions and won unanimous praise at home and abroad. Standing on the podium, I am full of emotion, and if it weren't for the pain and setbacks of the past, I probably wouldn't be where I am today.
Xiao Gang also learned the good news through social networks. He sent a message: "Xiaofang, congratulations, I'm proud of you. I hope we can all find our own happiness on the road of life. Looking at this message, I smiled and felt relieved. Yes, we are all looking for our own happiness, and those who have passed by will eventually become the scenery on our life road. Time flies, and my embroidery shop has experienced the glory of that international exhibition, and the business has become more prosperous.
I also gradually came out of the haze of the past and began to embrace a new life. Xiaogang's condition has gradually stabilized, and there is no love between us, but there is a deep friendship. One day, an elegant lady came to the shop, and she selected a few pieces that I had embroidered with her own hands, and she had a satisfied smile on her face. Her name is Lin Jing and she is a well-known fashion designer. She told me that she was very interested in my embroidery work and wanted to work with me to create a collection of clothes that combined traditional embroidery techniques with modern fashion. I excitedly said yes, and it was a new challenge for me.
In the days that followed, I worked closely with Lin Jing to skillfully incorporate traditional embroidery techniques into modern fashion designs. This innovation has received an enthusiastic response from the market, and our co-branded clothing line has caused a stir in the fashion industry. Just when my career was at its peak again, Xiao Gang suddenly asked to see me.
I rushed to the hospital and saw that his face was pale, but there was a hint of firmness in his eyes: "Xiaofang, I want to confess one thing to you." My heart tightened, worried that his condition would worsen: "What's wrong?" Xiao Gang took a deep breath: "These days, I have been reflecting on the past. I know that I hurt you deeply, and I also paid for my mistakes. But at the end of my life, I don't want to have regrets. The promise I made to you, though I can't keep it, still wants to do something for you. ”
My eyes were red, and I held back tears: "Xiao Gang, what are you talking about? Haven't we all put it down?" He smiled: "I know you don't care, but I still want to tell you that I'm proud of you." You have grown from an ordinary rural girl to a successful female entrepreneur, and your life is full of legends. I think if we hadn't been separated, maybe I would have been a burden to you. ”
I held his hand and felt a hint of coolness: "Xiaogang, don't say that, you will always be my friend." Xiao Gang took out a letter from under his pillow and handed it to me: "This is a letter I wrote to you during my illness, which records my mental journey over the years and my blessings to you. When I'm gone, you'll see. I took the letter and tears rained down.
I know what this letter means. A few months later, Xiao Gang was gone. At his funeral, I presented him with a co-designed outfit, which was his favorite style during his lifetime. I placed his letter at his grave and prayed silently in my heart that he would find his happiness in the other world.
The days went on, and so did my career. I never opened the letter. I know that the content in it is no longer important, because we have all found our own happiness on the road of life. And those past memories have become eternal memories in my heart. In this long journey, I have learned to grow, to be strong, and to cherish. As for the future, I will continue to move forward with this firm belief and write my own story.
When my career was booming, I met a young man named Chen Ran. He is a photographer who specializes in shooting for fashion magazines. We met from a shoot, and he was full of respect for me, saying that my embroidery work has a unique charm that evokes deep emotions in people's hearts. The appearance of Chen Ran has brought a new color to my life. He loves life, is full of passion, and always brings me joy when I am tired.
In the days we spent together, I felt the warmth that I hadn't felt for a long time. He is not as ambitious as Xiao Gang, he values the quality of life and his inner feelings more. One day, Chen Ran said to me: "Xiaofang, I want to take a set of photos for you to record the moment of your embroidery, so that more people can see your talent." I smiled and agreed, and at that moment, I felt happiness like never before. During the shooting, Chen Ran's focused eyes made my heart beat faster. He gently adjusted the light, adjusted my posture, and strived to perfection in every detail.
When I saw his work, I was stunned. In the photo, I am intently embroidering flowers, and my eyes are full of determination and confidence. It was a self I had never seen before, and I was deeply moved. Chen Ran looked at me and said, "Xiaofang, you are the strongest woman I have ever met, and your story inspires many people. I hope that through these photos, more people can understand your story and understand your talent. ”
With tears in my eyes, I held his hand tightly: "Thank you, Chen Ran." You're the one who made me see a different version of myself. As time went by, my relationship with Chen Ran became deeper and deeper. He is not only my photographer, but also an important person in my life. Together, we share the bits and pieces of life, face difficulties together, and celebrate successes together.
My career has also been taken to the next level with the help of Chen Ran. Our co-branded embroidery works have caused a sensation again, and even internationally renowned brands have extended an olive branch to us. I am extremely proud, and I know that all this is the result of my hard work and the support that Chen Ran has given me.
On the road of life, we will meet many passers-by. Some will bring us pain, and some will bring us joy. But no matter what, we must learn to cherish and learn to be strong. Because only in this way can we find true happiness on the road of life.
