My name is Wang Xiaoning, and I am an ordinary office worker living an ordinary life. My mother and I have always had a good relationship, but when I was in college, she suddenly remarried and married a man named Li Ming. Since then, my mother and I have had less and less contact with each other.
Six years have passed, and I have not seen my mother and stepfather, nor have I been in contact with them. Although I felt a little puzzled and regretful, I felt that I was used to this kind of life. Until one day, I received a call from my mother, who told me that they had moved to a new city and hoped I could go and see them.
I hesitated, but finally decided to meet them. I felt that even though there was a distance and time gap between us, I should go and see them and learn about their lives.
I got on the train and came to my mother's city. At their doorstep, I was a little nervous and didn't know how I was going to deal with this strange stepfather. I knocked on the door, and my mother opened it, and when she saw my expression, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Xiao Ning, you're here!" my mother took my hand and smiled, "Come in, your father has been waiting for a long time." ”
Hearing my mother call him "Daddy" made my heart tremble, and some complicated emotions welled up in my heart. I followed my mother into the house and saw a middle-aged man dressed simply, who was my stepfather, Li Ming.
When he saw me, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, "Hello, Xiao Ning, welcome to come." ”
I nodded politely, but there was some ambivalence in my heart. Is this man the "daddy" I should call? I felt a strong discomfort and didn't know what to do.
At dinner, the atmosphere was a little awkward. My mother kept serving me vegetables, but Li Ming didn't say a word, bowing his head and eating. I tried to hide my emotions, but inside I was overwhelmed.
After eating, my mother was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Ming and I stayed in the living room. He looked at me and finally spoke, "Xiao Ning, I know you are a little repulsed by me, but I hope you can give me a chance. ”
I was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I don't know what to call you, but I think we can get along slowly." ”
He nodded, a gleam in his eyes. I know that this is just the beginning and that there is still a long way to go between us. But at the very least, I'm willing to give him a chance to get to know him and get to know this man who was once a stranger.
Over the next few days, Li Ming and I gradually got to know each other, and I found that he was a hardworking and kind person, and he was also very good to my mother. I began to accept him and slowly came to see him as family.
Finally, I said goodbye to them and returned to my own city. Although the distance between me and my mother remains, I feel that I have a deeper understanding and tolerance for her. As for Li Ming, I am also willing to regard him as my family and work together with him to create happiness that belongs to us.
