My name is Xiaofang, I have five in my thirty years this Chinese New Year's Eve, I have been married for eight years, and my life is quite nourishing. But this year's Chinese New Year, I made a difficulty. The reason is that my family has to give me 50,000 yuan for the New Year's fee to let me go back to my parents' house.
"Sister, you are the water spilled by your married daughter, and your mother's family still has your brother and sister-in-law, how can you come back every year?" On the other end of the phone, the sister-in-law's voice was cold.
"Isn't that homesick!" I explained helplessly.
"Homesick, then you'd come back! However, there must be a rule for coming back this time, 50,000 yuan for the annual fee, and it's not okay if it's less. "My sister-in-law's words made my heart tighten.
That night, I lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. 50,000 yuan is not a small amount for our ordinary family. I can get this money, but I just don't feel good in my heart.
The next day, I called my mother's brother: "Brother, I won't go back for the Chinese New Year this year." ”
"Why?" said his brother's voice with surprise.
"No, there are a lot of things at home, and I can't get out of it. "I made an excuse.
"Sister, are you making an excuse, is it because of the 50,000 New Year's fee?"
"Brother, you know, I'm married far away, and it's not easy to come back. I'm willing to give this money, but I just don't feel comfortable in my heart. "I'll be honest.
"Girl, you misunderstood. These 50,000 yuan are not what we want, but what your sister-in-law meant. You know, she's that kind of person. Don't take it to heart, come back for the New Year, how good it is for our family to be reunited. "My brother's explanation made me feel better.
But I was still hesitant. Just when I couldn't make up my mind, my husband returned.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? He asked with concern.
I told him everything about my mother's family.
"Let's go back, I'll give you the 50,000 yuan. My husband didn't say a word and took out his bank card.
"Why are you doing this?" I was a little moved.
"We've been married for so many years, and you go back every year, but this year you won't return because of this little money? He laughs.
In this way, we returned to our parents' house with 50,000 yuan for the New Year.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, my sister-in-law was stunned when she saw us. She probably didn't expect that we would come back.
"Girl, you're back. She greeted awkwardly.
"Yes, sister-in-law. We're back. I responded with a smile.
That year, our family had a very happy time. My sister-in-law also gradually understood that family affection is more important than money.
And my husband and I also understand that marriage is not only a matter of two people, but also the integration of two families. As long as we think in one place and work hard in one place, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
In the days that followed, the atmosphere of the mother's house became extraordinarily harmonious. My sister-in-law also seemed to realize her excesses and began to take the initiative to help me with housework, and our relationship gradually warmed up.
"Sister, my sister-in-law was neglectful to you before, don't take it to heart. "One night, my sister-in-law pulled me to sit on the sofa and said sincerely.
"Sister-in-law, it's all over, and our family doesn't talk to each other. I smiled in response.
"You see, when you come back for the New Year, the house is much more lively. The 50,000 yuan, in fact, I don't care that much. It's just an impulse to say something that doesn't matter. The sister-in-law said with some embarrassment.
"Sister-in-law, we understand what you mean. In the future, we must understand each other and support each other. I held her hand tightly.
After the Spring Festival, my husband and I were ready to go back to our home. Before leaving, my brother and sister-in-law insisted on taking us to the station.
"Sister, go back and live a good life. Check back when you have time. With tears in his eyes, my brother said reluctantly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we will come back often. Holding back tears, I smiled and nodded.
After returning to his own home, life returned to peace. However, my heart often flies back to my mother's home, missing my loved ones and the warm atmosphere there.
On the eve of the Qingming Festival, I suddenly received a call from my brother: "Sister, your sister-in-law is sick, and the doctor said that it was breast cancer." ”
"What?
"The doctor said that it was detected early, and the cure rate was quite high. However, the cost of surgery and chemotherapy is not low. My brother's voice trembled a little.
"Brother, don't worry, we'll go back right away. As for the expense, let's figure it out together. I said firmly.
Hanging up the phone, I immediately told my husband. Without saying a word, he began to pack his luggage: "Daughter-in-law, let's leave now." ”
And just like that, we were on our way home again. This time, we brought all our savings with us, ready to face this sudden storm with our brother.
At my mother's house, we accompanied my sister-in-law to fight the disease. After surgery and chemotherapy, my sister-in-law's condition gradually stabilized. And in the process, our family is even more united.
During that time, I deeply experienced the power of family affection. No matter how difficult it is, as long as we walk hand in hand, we can always find the strength to overcome everything.
Now, my sister-in-law's condition has improved, and our lives are gradually getting back on track. And my husband and I also cherish every moment of each other and our families. Because we know that in this world, nothing is more important than the company of family.
As the days passed, my sister-in-law's body gradually recovered. In the process, our family's hearts are more closely connected. Every weekend, my husband and I would take our children back to our parents' house to spend time with my brother and sister-in-law.
One sunny weekend, we went back to our parents' house as usual. My sister-in-law was basking in the sun in the yard and when she saw us, she had a happy smile on her face.
"Girl, here you go again. The sister-in-law greeted her with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, seeing that you look good, we are all relieved. I held her hand tightly.
"Yes, thanks to your continued care. The sister-in-law said gratefully.
At lunchtime, the whole family sits around and talks about family life. My brother suddenly mentioned a plan: "Sister, I discussed it with your sister-in-law, and I want to open a snack bar at home and be self-reliant." ”
"That's a good idea, what do you think?" I asked excitedly.
"We wanted to open a specialty snack bar in the town, focusing on local specialties. However, this requires a start-up capital. My brother said with a little hesitation.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we support you. When it comes to funding, we'll figure it out. My husband and I looked at each other and said in unison.
When we got back to our home, my husband and I started planning how we were going to raise the money. We took out all our savings and borrowed some from friends and family. Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, we were able to raise enough start-up capital.
My brother and sister-in-law's snack bar opened smoothly. With their unique craftsmanship and integrity, the snack bar business quickly boomed and became a highlight of the town.
One day, I took my kids to help out at a snack bar. In the middle of his busy life, a familiar figure walked in.
"Xiaofang, your shop is really good, business is booming!" The person who came was my old classmate Xiaohong.
"Yes, it's all my brother and my sister-in-law. I said proudly.
"Your family is so united, it's enviable. Xiaohong said with emotion.
"Actually, we also had conflicts and difficulties, but in the end we all survived. The power of affection is truly amazing. I said with deep feeling.
During those days, our whole family was busy for the snack bar, although it was hard, but our hearts were full of joy. Because we know that this joy comes from the unity and joint efforts of our families.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the snack bar has been open for three years. In the past three years, our family has experienced many ups and downs together, but we have always walked hand in hand. And my husband and I also realized the preciousness of family affection more deeply in this process.
Today, our family still lives in harmony and works together to make life better. And those contradictions and difficulties have long become the most precious memories in our hearts. Because we know that in this world, there is nothing warmer than the company of family, and nothing is more memorable than getting through difficulties together.
Over time, our snack bar has become a town signature and business is booming. Our whole family is busy and fulfilling, and although it is hard, our hearts are full of joy. However, on this beautiful day, a new challenge quietly came.
One day, my brother suddenly came to me with a solemn expression: "Sister, our snack bar may face some trouble." ”
"What's wrong, brother?" I asked nervously.
"Recently, some residents in the town have filed complaints about our snack bar, saying that we have affected their lives. My brother sighed.
My heart tightened, and I immediately thought about the noise and environmental pollution that our snack bar could bring. I understood that we needed to make some changes to keep the snack bar running.
"Brother, we need to solve this problem as soon as possible. We can ask a professional environmental protection company to assess our operating environment and see if there is room for improvement. I proposed.
The elder brother nodded in agreement. We immediately contacted an environmental company who provided us with a series of suggestions and improvements.
After a lot of hard work, our snack bar has become more environmentally friendly, and noise and environmental pollution have been effectively controlled. We also take the initiative to communicate with the surrounding residents, listen to their opinions and suggestions, and actively improve.
"Girl, your snack bar is really good now, not only tastes good, but also pays attention to environmental protection. A neighbor exclaimed.
Hearing such comments, my brother and I looked at each other and smiled, and our hearts were full of relief. Our snack bar not only brings good food to the town, but also conveys the concept of environmental protection.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, our children have grown up and begun to show their talents in learning. And my husband and I, in our joint efforts, have a deeper understanding of the preciousness of family affection.
Today, our family still lives in harmony and works together to make life better. And those contradictions and difficulties have long become the most precious memories in our hearts. Because we know that in this world, there is nothing warmer than the company of family, and nothing is more memorable than getting through difficulties together.
