Li Ming is a 45-year-old office worker who works as a middle manager in a company and earns 8,000 yuan a month. His parents, Mr. Li and Grandma Li, are retired in their 50s and wait for Li Ming to pay them living expenses every month. Li Ming's wife, Zhang Li, 42, is at home full-time caring for their 10-year-old daughter, Li Xiaoxue.
Life for Li Ming's family was not easy. Mr. Li and Grandma Li have been "lying flat" since they retired, and the living expenses of 4,000 yuan per month account for half of Li Ming's total family income, making Li Ming and Zhang Li very poor. Despite this, Li Ming still did his best to be filial to his parents, hoping that they would be able to enjoy their old age in peace.
One day, Li Ming came home from work and saw Zhang Li busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner. He walked over, gently put his arms around Zhang Li's waist, and kissed her on the cheek.
"How's it going, dear?" Li Ming asked with concern.
Zhang Li turned around and looked at Li Ming gently, "It's okay, it's just a little tired." You came back so early today. "
"yes, work went well today, so I came back early. Li Ming smiled and said, "I'll help you make dinner." "
Zhang Li shook her head, "No, you can sit down and rest for a while." I'll be fine right away. "
Li Ming sat obediently at the dining table, looking at Zhang Li's busy figure. He couldn't help but sigh: "Our lives are indeed a little tight, but as long as we support each other, we will definitely be able to get through the difficulties." "
Zhang Li nodded, "Yes, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to create a better future for our daughter." "
At this moment, Old Man Li and Grandma Li walked out of the bedroom. As soon as Old Man Li saw Li Ming, he immediately spoke: "Son, have you transferred money to us today? We can't wait to buy something delicious." "
Li Ming frowned slightly, but still patiently explained: "Dad, Mom, I haven't had time to transfer money today. You can eat some fruit to cushion your stomach first, and I'll turn it for you later. "
Grandma Li said a little unhappily: "You young people are really, always procrastinating. We're waiting for a big meal. "
Zhang Li walked over and said gently: "Mom and Dad, our family is indeed a little poor, can you understand our situation? We also want to give you a better life, but now we really can't afford it." "
Old Man Li snorted coldly, "We were also poor when we were young, but we never let our parents suffer such a crime. You people are just not filial. "
Seeing this, Li Ming quickly stood up and said gently: "Dad, Mom, I know you want us to fulfill our filial piety, but we do have some financial difficulties now. Let's sit down and talk about it and see if we can figure out a way to solve this problem. "
Old Man Li and Grandma Li looked at Li Ming, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. The family sat around the dining table and began a sincere exchange.
The family sat down and began a sincere exchange. Li Ming spoke first and said to his parents sincerely: "Dad, Mom, I know that you hope that we can be more filial to you, but we do have some financial difficulties now. Although my monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, it is really difficult to support a family of three and support you. "
Old Man Li frowned and said, "However, we were also poor when we were young, but we never let our parents suffer such a crime. You people are just not filial. "
Li Ming patiently explained: "Dad, I know what you think, but the current living environment is different from your time. Prices are rising and the cost of living is getting higher. Our monthly expenses of 4,000 yuan have accounted for half of the total family income, which makes our life very difficult. "
Grandma Li said with some dissatisfaction: "Then you should work harder and earn more money to support us." We are already old, and we should enjoy our old age. "
Zhang Li said gently: "Mom and Dad, I understand your thoughts. But we also have our own life pressures and needs. We have to take care of our daughter's life and pay for all kinds of expenses, which is really unbearable. Let's discuss it together and see if there's anything we can do to make everyone's life better. "
Old Man Li and Grandma Li were silent for a while, as if they were thinking about Zhang Li's words. In the end, Old Man Li sighed and said, "Okay, then let's talk about it." "
Grandma Li said reluctantly: "But we are used to this way of life and don't want to change it." "
Zhang Li said gently: "Mom and Dad, we understand your thoughts. But without some changes, I'm afraid it's going to be hard for us to stay afloat. Let's discuss it together and see what can be adjusted appropriately to make everyone's life more comfortable. "
Old Man Li pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, then let's give it a try." "
So, the family began to work together on a new family financial plan. After repeated discussions, they decided to reduce their parents' living expenses from 4,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan, which would relieve some of the stress. At the same time, parents have also expressed their willingness to try to live independently and reduce their dependence on their children.
Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Great, this way, we can free up some funds to take care of our own lives." If we work together as a family, we will definitely get through this difficult time. "
Li Ming also showed a pleased smile, "Yes, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to create a better life." "
At this moment, Li Xiaoxue ran out of her room, "Dad, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Li Ming held his daughter in his arms and said dotingly: "It's nothing, we're just discussing things at home." You can rest assured that Mom and Dad will definitely give you the best life. "
Li Xiaoxue smiled innocently, "That's good! I like to be with my parents, grandmother and grandfather the most." "
Zhang Li also walked over and gently rubbed her daughter's hair, "Yes, our family will always be together, help each other, and get through all the difficulties and challenges together." "
In this way, the family reformulated the family financial plan, and the parents began to try to live independently, reducing their dependence on their children. Although life is still a little tight, as long as we all work together, we will be able to tide over the difficulties and create a better future.
At this moment, Li Ming's mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone, and an anxious voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Mr. Li, your father just fell at home and has now been sent to the hospital." Come and make a trip!"
Li Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said to his family: "Something happened, Dad fell at home, let's go to the hospital quickly!"
The family hurried to the hospital and saw Old Man Li lying on the hospital bed, his face pale. The doctor said that Mr. Li broke his leg bone and needed to be hospitalized.
Li Ming anxiously asked, "Doctor, how is my father's condition?
The doctor said reassuringly: "There is no major problem for the time being, but you need to stay in bed for a period of time, and it will take some time to recover." Rest assured, we will do our best to treat it. "
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then said worriedly: "What about the medical expenses? "
The doctor pondered for a moment and said, "I understand your difficulties, why don't we discuss it and see if there are any preferential policies or installment payment methods." "
Li Ming said gratefully: "Thank you so much. I will definitely do my best to raise medical expenses. "
The family gathered around Mr. Li's hospital bed, anxiously waiting for his recovery. This emergency made them realize the importance of their families again, and strengthened their determination to work together to get through the difficulties.
Li Ming's family anxiously waited for Old Man Li's recovery. The accident reminded them of the importance of their families.
At the hospital, Li Ming and his wife, Zhang Li, discussed how to raise medical expenses. Zhang Li said: "My dear, our family is indeed a little poor, but we must go all out for Dad's illness. We can take out our savings first and borrow some from friends and family. "
Li Ming nodded, "You're right, we must find a way to raise money to ensure that Dad can recuperate." I will go to the company as soon as possible to ask for leave and take care of my dad wholeheartedly. "
Zhang Li comfortingly held Li Ming's hand, "Don't worry, I will take care of my father together." Our family will definitely get through this. "
At this moment, Grandma Li walked over and said, "Children, I heard about your difficulties. We also want to help, although we don't have much savings now, but we will definitely do our best to help Dad. "
Li Ming and Zhang Li both looked at Grandma Li with emotion, "Dad, Mom, you guys are really good." We will be able to get through this together as a family. "
In the hospital ward, Old Man Li slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the concerned faces of his family, he felt extremely warm.
"Dad, you're awake!" Li Ming hurriedly walked to the hospital bed and held his father's hand.
Old Man Li smiled weakly, "Son, I'm sorry for worrying you." "
Li Ming hurriedly comforted him, "Dad, you don't have to apologize, we just hope you can recover soon." We will fully support your treatment. "
Grandma Li also walked over, "Dad, don't worry, we will take good care of you." You can take care of your illness, and when you are well, we will have a good chat as a family. "
Old Man Li nodded movingly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you." "
In the following days, the family worked together to take care of Old Man Li's condition. Li Ming took leave to stay at home and devoted himself to taking care of his father. Zhang Li also tried to find time to help. Grandma Li waited at the bedside day and night, taking care of her unequivocally.
Gradually, Old Man Li's injuries began to improve. The doctor told them that they could be discharged as soon as possible as long as they continued to recuperate.
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, Dad, you're about to be discharged from the hospital so soon." We can finally be reunited as a family. "
Old Man Li held his son's hand, "Son, I'm sorry to worry about you." I will definitely pay attention to safety in the future, and I will not cause you trouble. "
Li Ming hurriedly said, "Dad, you don't have to apologize. We are all a family, and it is right to help each other. We're happy that you'll recover soon. "
Grandma Li also smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, we are all worried about you, but we are so happy to see you recover so well." You must pay more attention to safety in the future. "
Old Man Li nodded, "Okay, I will." By the way, I want to discuss something with you. "
Everyone quieted down and waited for Old Man Li's words.
Old Man Li took a deep breath, "I think that after I am discharged from the hospital, our family can discuss it together and see if there is any way to make our lives more stable." I understand that our lives are indeed a bit of a straitjacket and have brought a lot of burdens to you. So I thought, your mom and I can try to live independently and reduce your stress. "
Li Ming and Zhang Li both looked at Old Man Li in surprise, "Dad, are you serious? That's great!"
Grandma Li also said happily: "Yes, we also want to do our part and don't rely on you all the time." We'll be sure to discuss it. "
Li Ming said excitedly: "Great, Dad, Mom, in this way, our family's life will be easier." We will definitely give you our full support. "
Zhang Li also smiled and said: "Yes, with your cooperation, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty and create a better future." "
The family looked at each other and smiled in the hospital room, full of anticipation and hope for the future. After this accident, they cherish each other more and are more determined to work together.
In this way, with the joint efforts of the family, Mr. Li was finally discharged from the hospital. After discussion, it was decided that Mr. Li and Grandma Li would live independently, and Li Ming's family would bear part of the living expenses every month. This not only relieves the pressure on Li Ming's family, but also makes Old Man Li and Grandma Li more independent.
With the joint efforts of the family, Mr. Li was finally discharged from the hospital. After discussion, it was decided that Mr. Li and Grandma Li would live independently, and Li Ming's family would bear part of the living expenses every month. This not only relieves the pressure on Li Ming's family, but also makes Old Man Li and Grandma Li more independent.
As time passed, the family's life gradually got back on track. Li Ming has also made a new breakthrough in his work, and his income has increased. Zhang Li also began to earn money part-time, relieving the financial pressure on her family. Li Xiaoxue has also made progress in her studies under the careful guidance of her parents.
In such a harmonious and happy atmosphere, the family began to plan for the future. They decided to work together to create a better growth environment for their daughter Li Xiaoxue, so that this warm family will become happier and happier.
One day, the family sat in the living room and discussed Li Xiaoxue's education.
Li Ming opened his mouth and said, "Xiaoxue's grades in school have been very good recently, we should reward her well." Let's discuss it together and see if we can give her a better learning environment. "
Zhang Li nodded: "Yes, Xiaoxue has made great progress recently, we should encourage her well." However, our current economic situation is not very optimistic, and I am afraid that it will take some expenses to give her a better learning environment. "
Old Man Li and Grandma Li glanced at each other, and Old Man Li said, "Children, we also want to contribute to Xiaoxue's future." With some of the savings we have saved these days, it is better to take out some of it to support Xiaoxue's studies and give her better opportunities for development. "
Li Ming and Zhang Li were both a little surprised, but soon showed a relieved smile.
"Dad, Mom, you guys are really good! With your support, we will definitely be able to create better conditions for Xiaoxue. Li Ming said excitedly.
Zhang Li also said movingly: "Yes, with the help of the whole family, we will definitely be able to create a better growth environment for Xiaoxue." "
Li Xiaoxue asked curiously, "Mom, Dad, grandma, grandpa, what are you discussing?"
Li Ming held his daughter in his arms and said gently: "Xiaoxue, my parents discussed with my grandparents and wanted to give you a better learning environment so that you can grow better." "
Li Xiaoxue said excitedly: "Really? Great! I will definitely study harder and not let my parents, grandparents, and grandparents down." "
The family looked at each other and smiled, full of anticipation and confidence for the future.
At this moment, Li Ming's mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone, and an anxious voice came from the receiver: "Mr. Li, hello, I am the personnel manager of your company. I have a very important thing to tell you, please come to the company as soon as possible. "
"It's inconvenient for me to disclose this, please come to the company as soon as possible. After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Li Ming was a little worried, and hurriedly said to his family: "Something happened, the company is looking for me urgently, I have to hurry over." You wait at home for me to come back, don't worry. "
After speaking, Li Ming left the house in a hurry.
The family looked at each other, not knowing what was happening. Old Man Li and Grandma Li were a little worried.
"Kid, do you think something is wrong with Li Ming?" Grandma Li asked anxiously.
Zhang Li said soothingly: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, Li Ming will be fine." He works so hard, the company won't have any trouble with him. Let's wait for him to come back. "
Li Xiaoxue also asked with some worry: "Mom, will something happen to Dad?"
Zhang Li hugged her daughter and said gently, "Don't worry, Xiaoxue, Dad will be fine." We're sure Dad will be able to figure it out. "
Everyone was quietly waiting for Li Ming's return. After a while, Li Ming finally returned home.
Everyone hurriedly greeted them, "Li Ming, what's going on?" are you okay?"
Li Ming looked a little excited, but he had a happy expression on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. The company just gave me big news, they are going to promote me to the position of deputy general manager!"
