That night, as a family, we sat around the table, and the atmosphere was not relaxed. I sat at the table, trying to pick up a steaming bowl of fish soup, but my hands were shaking with anxiety. My mother sat across from me, her brow furrowed, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak. My father ate his meal in silence, as if I could feel the tension in the family through his silence.
My name is Li Xiaoming, I just turned 20 years old this year, and I am the eldest son in my family. In addition to me, there are parents and two younger sisters at home. We live in a small town, our family is moderate, and we live a plain but stable life. Since I was a child, my family relationship has always been quite harmonious, but tonight's situation made me feel more nervous and confused than ever.
"Mom, aren't you ashamed to think about men all the time when you're over half a hundred years old?"
When the mother heard this, she stopped what she was doing, her face became a little strange, and then her eyes turned to her father, as if expecting his response.
The father frowned, put down the chopsticks in his hand, sighed, and continued: "These words should not be said at the dinner table. ”
I felt a panic in my heart, and looking at the complicated expressions of my family, I realized that this dinner table conversation would definitely bring a lot of turmoil. My mother remained silent, but I could feel the uneasiness and helplessness in her heart.
The father's sigh broke the silence and made the atmosphere at the table even more awkward. Mother finally spoke, her voice trembled a little, but she couldn't hide the anger and grievance in her heart: "Xiaofang, where did you hear these words?"
Xiao Fang obviously didn't expect her mother to respond so directly, she said a little awkwardly: "I just think that you always shush those men at every turn, you are so old, you shouldn't be like this anymore." ”
"I only talk to my friends once in a while, isn't that okay?" the mother's voice gradually raised, "I don't want to take you too restrictively, but that doesn't mean I can't have a life of my own!"
My father shook his head lightly and looked at me, as if begging me to mediate the escalating argument. I panicked for a while, but I still tried to calm down and said, "Mom, Xiaofang may have misunderstood something. We can talk calmly. ”
"This topic should not be discussed at home. The father interjected again, his tone was serious, "You all go back to study and work hard, and don't talk nonsense anymore." ”
Xiao Fang lowered her head, obviously feeling her father's dissatisfaction. The mother fell silent, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. As I watched this scene, I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart, our family had never had such a dispute.
The atmosphere at the table gradually calmed down, and we each buried our heads in eating, but the awkward and contradictory atmosphere still lingered. I can't help but start thinking back to the past in my family, recalling my mother's smile and love for us, but now there is a strangeness and estrangement.
After dinner, I walked alone to the small garden of my home, hoping to calm my inner turmoil by taking a walk. On this quiet night, I looked up at the stars and tried to clear my head. I began to think about where these problems that arise in the family, where they come from, and how we should deal with them.
Just as I was deep in thought, my mother quietly walked up to my side. She looked at me, her eyes full of complicated emotions: "Xiaoming, do you think my mother did something wrong?"
I turned around, looked at my mother, and tried to give her a reassuring answer: "Mom, I think you just want your own life, and that's right. But maybe we need to communicate better so that things don't get so complicated at home. ”
The mother smiled bitterly: "Maybe I'm too impulsive, but I don't want you to misunderstand." ”
"We are all family, and there is no misunderstanding that cannot be resolved. I tried to comfort her, but I also knew in my heart that the conflict was not easy to solve.
"Xiaoming, you know what, sometimes it's not easy to be a mother. The mother's tone was a little sad, "I just hope that you can all have a better life, but I also have my thoughts and needs. ”
I gently took my mother's hand, "Mom, we'll try to understand you." No matter what happens, we are family. ”
Mother nodded, tears flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, Xiaoming." ”
This night, I felt the rift in my family and became more aware of the need for more understanding and tolerance among family members. I was determined that no matter what challenges lie ahead, I would try to maintain the warmth and harmony of this family.
The next morning, the mood at home was still a little tense, but it seemed to have eased a little bit from last night. My mother got up early to prepare breakfast, and my sisters and I got up one after another. At the dinner table, everyone deliberately avoided touching on the topic of last night, but the embarrassment in the silence still persisted.
"Mom, I have a classmate coming over tonight, is it okay?" Xiao Fang suddenly broke the silence and tried to ease the atmosphere.
The mother paused, then nodded: "Okay, if you have a guest, you should be warmly welcomed." ”
I looked at my mother's expression and felt as if she wanted to make up for the unpleasantness of last night with a warm hospitality. My father ate in silence, but his expression seemed a little more relaxed than last night.
"Xiaoming, what about you, what's the plan for today?" my mother turned to me and asked.
I shook my head, "I don't have any special arrangements, I might be at home with you." ”
"That's fine, the family is popular. Mother smiled.
The younger sisters laughed too, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. I think this relaxed atmosphere is a good thing, at least it allows us to forget about the embarrassment of last night for a while.
One day at home was relatively peaceful, my sisters and I helped my mother prepare dinner, occasionally making jokes and trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant. My mother also seemed to be smiling as much as she could, but I knew that the uneasiness and contradictions in her heart had not gone away.
In the evening, Xiaofang's classmate came, a young and beautiful girl. She and Xiaofang chatted happily in the room, and bursts of laughter came from time to time. When the mother saw this, she had a relieved expression on her face.
"Xiaoming, you can help me bring the food to the living room. "My mother stood at the kitchen door with a big bowl and looked at me.
"Okay, Mom. I took the bowl and followed my mother.
We brought dinner to the living room, and Xiaofang's classmates saw their mother coming over and greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie." ”
The mother smiled and nodded: "You eat slowly, you need to tell me anything." ”
I looked at my mother's back, and I was inexplicably moved in my heart. Even though last night was a little unpleasant, my mother tried her best to maintain family harmony. I secretly decided that no matter what difficulties I would encounter in the future, I would do my best to support my mother and make the family more harmonious.
After the guests left, we were back to a calm night. My mother and I were sitting in the living room, and Xiaofang had already gone to rest.
"Mom, don't mind Xiaofang's words too much last night, she may just have a misunderstanding. "I tried to explain to my mother again.
The mother shook her head: "I know, I just feel a little wronged, after all, I also have my own life and ideas." ”
"Mom, we'll all understand you. I gently shook my mother's hand.
The mother smiled slightly, and said with some emotion: "Maybe I'm too lonely, so I have some ideas." ”
When I heard my mother say this, my heart was sad. I know that as a mother, she gives a lot, but we often ignore her feelings and needs.
The next night, I decided to talk to my mother alone to try to bridge the gap between us. After dinner, I invited my mother to take a walk on the balcony and enjoy the coolness of the evening.
"Mom, I want to talk to you about last night. I got straight to the point.
My mother stopped, looked at me and smiled slightly: "Xiaoming, what do you want to say?"
I paused for a moment and then said, "I know you have your own lives and needs, but I wish we could communicate better and not make the atmosphere at home tense." ”
Mother nodded: "I understand, I didn't expect to cause so many misunderstandings. ”
"You know, we all want you to be well, but sometimes it can ignore your feelings. I said to my mother sincerely.
The mother sighed softly, "Maybe I'm a little too selfish, and I don't want to embarrass you. ”
I hurriedly shook my head: "Mom, you're not selfish, you just want to live your own life, it's normal." ”
Hearing this, the mother smiled: "Thank you, Xiaoming." ”
As we walked, we continued to communicate. My mother told me about her inner thoughts and needs, her desire to be able to have her own space and life, but not wanting it to affect the harmony of the family. I listened quietly, my heart filled with understanding and gratitude.
"Mom, you must know that we are all a family and will not be estranged because of these little things. "I tried to comfort my mother.
The mother raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude: "Xiaoming, you are so sensible." ”
We continued to walk on the balcony and talk and laugh. I feel that this exchange has shortened the distance between us a lot, and I have a better understanding of the need for more communication and understanding in family relationships.
When I got home, I saw my father watching TV in the living room. I walked over and sat next to him and tried to talk to him.
"Dad, what do you think we should do about last night's incident?" I asked tentatively.
The father was silent for a while, and then said, "Your mother has her ideas, and we have to respect her." ”
"However, I feel that we should be more accommodating and understanding of her. I said firmly.
My father sighed and looked at me: "You are still young and don't understand too many family complexities. ”
I shrugged my shoulders a little helplessly: "But I think communication is the key to solving problems." ”
My father looked at me with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "You kid, you are very sensible. ”
I smiled: "Dad, we are all a family, as long as we communicate more, we can solve a lot of problems." ”
The father nodded and said nothing more. I know that although he is not good at words, he is also trying his best to maintain the harmony of this family.
This night, the atmosphere at home seemed much more relaxed than before. I deeply feel that every member of the family needs understanding and support, and communication is the bridge to build harmony.
After the second day, the atmosphere at home gradually returned to its former calm. The mother gradually let go of the unpleasantness of last night and returned to family life. As a family, we started communicating more often and tried to avoid any misunderstandings happening again.
One night, I was reading a book in my study when I suddenly heard the laughter of my sisters coming from the living room. I got up and walked out of the study to see my mother with my sisters, watching TV together.
"Xiaoming, come and watch together!" My mother greeted me with a smile when she saw me coming over.
I walked to the living room, sat next to my mother, and watched the TV show. The younger sisters commented on the episode of the show with great interest, while the mother looked at them with a smile and interjected from time to time.
"Mom, I'd like to take you to a nearby park this weekend, okay?" I suddenly suggested.
The mother was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then let's arrange it for the weekend." ”
"Well, I think it's relaxing to go out for a walk. I laughed.
"Auntie, I want to go too!" Xiaofang said excitedly.
"Okay, let's go together. The mother responded with a smile.
This night, our family sat around the living room, warm and pleasant. I looked at the smiles of my mother and sisters, and my heart was filled with gratitude and happiness. There may be conflicts and misunderstandings in the family, but as long as we communicate and care with our hearts, everything will be better.
The next day, I went for a walk with my mother in a nearby park. The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the park is full of people and life.
"Mom, do you like it here?" I asked, looking at my mother and smiling.
The mother squinted her eyes and looked at the lake in the distance: "Yes, it's peaceful here. ”
As we walked, we chatted about family life, and my mother shared some memories of her youth, which made me understand her life and mood better. I also told my mother about some of my thoughts and my recent life.
"Mom, if you have any ideas or needs in the future, you can tell us. I said to my mother encouragingly.
Mother smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Xiaoming." I will try to communicate with you as much as possible. ”
We walked for a long time in the park and enjoyed a rare parent-child time. I think this walk has made us closer to each other, and we are more understanding and tolerant of each other.
Back at home, the atmosphere at home seems to be more harmonious. My father and sisters prepared dinner together, while my mother and I chatted in the living room.
"Xiaoming, what do you think I should do to better balance my family and my own life?" the mother suddenly asked.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Maybe we can talk about some time together so that you have enough space to do what you like without affecting the harmony of the family." ”
My mother looked at me with a smile: "You are such a sensible child. ”
I also smiled: "Mom, as long as our family works together, all problems can be solved." ”
At dinner, our family sat around the table, laughing and laughing. I looked at my parents and younger sisters, and felt that the warmth and harmony of the family were the most precious treasures. No matter what difficulties we face in the future, we will work together to understand and support each other to make our families better.
