I'm Zhang Xiaoyu and I come from an ordinary family. My parents gave birth to me, but they never really treated me as their own child. Soon after I was born, I could feel their displeasure with me. They always wanted a son, a boy who could pass on the incense. But when I was born, their expectations were disappointed. They are always cold to me, and no matter what I do, I can't win their love and approval.
When I was a child, I used to hear my parents angry at home, complaining that they didn't have a son and no one who could inherit the family business. I try to do my best, study hard, and hopefully make them change their minds about me. However, no matter how hard I tried, their attitude never changed. They were always cold to me, and even when I needed them, they tended to ignore them.
I remember one time, I fell at school and broke my leg and needed emergency treatment. I called my parents and hoped they would come and pick me up and take me to the hospital. But they just said lightly: "You can solve it yourself." Then he hung up. I felt hopeless and lonely, feeling like a helpless orphan.
Although I did well in school, I always felt that I was missing the love and support of my parents. I watched the other students being pampered by their parents, and felt that their families were so warm and happy. My family, on the other hand, is a cold and alienating place. I began to yearn for a warm home, a place where I could feel loved.
Until one day, I received a surprise phone call. On the other end of the line was a voice I had never seen before, a low, tired voice, a voice I had never heard before.
"Hello, I'm your biological father." The voice on the other end of the line held my breath, I never thought I'd hear such words one day. Even though I knew from a young age that my birth was not expected, my parents never voluntarily acknowledged it, let alone had a connection.
I hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Are you...... Daddy? The anticipation and uneasiness in his voice seemed to be expecting an affirmative answer, but worrying about the possible no.
"Yes, Xiaoyu, I am your father. I know we never really took care of you and it's our fault. But I hope there is a chance to make amends. "
Hearing such words, I felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart. For many years, I longed for my parents' love and approval, but never imagined that there would be a day when I would be able to hear my father's voice, hear his apologies and promises to make amends.
"Dad, why did you call me all of a sudden?" I tried to control my emotions, but the joy in my heart was hard to suppress.
"I ...... I'm sick, medical costs are high and I need a sum of money for treatment. I know I'm not qualified to open my mouth to you, but I really can't do anything else. The father's voice trembled a little, as if admitting his helplessness and helplessness.
When I heard these words, my heart fluctuated. For years, I was treated indifferently by my parents, even when I needed them. Now, they suddenly appeared in my life, but because they needed my help. This shift leaves me confused and conflicted.
"Dad, I ......" I was a little overwhelmed by my father's request, and my heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. For many years, I longed for my parents' love and approval, but they were always cold and unsympathetic to me. Now, they are suddenly in my life because they need my help. What should I do?
I breathed a sigh of relief, tried to calm my inner turmoil, and said, "Dad, I understand your situation, but I also have my own life and responsibilities. I can't easily promise you money, and I don't have that much. But I'd like to go and see you and find out about you. ”
There was a slight sigh from my father on the other end of the phone, and then he said, "Xiaoyu, I know that I am not qualified to speak to you, but I really have no other way. I really need your help. ”
I felt the helplessness and despair in my father's voice, and a trace of sympathy and pity flashed in my heart. Even though they were cold and ruthless to me, they were my biological parents after all, and I couldn't bear to abandon them completely. So I promised him that I would rush to see him as soon as possible.
After hanging up, my heart was still full of contradictions and uneasiness. What can I do to balance my life with my responsibilities? It's a tough choice.
I decided to go and visit my father as soon as possible. Although I am still a little conflicted and uneasy, I feel that this is what I should do. I contacted my father, confirmed his address, and hurried to his city.
On the way, I was constantly thinking about my emotions and responsibilities. My parents' indifference and ruthlessness towards me over the years have caused me a deep hurt and estrangement towards them. But they are my biological parents after all, and I can't bear to abandon them completely. Perhaps, this meeting will be an opportunity for us to re-establish our family relationship.
Finally, I came to my father's neighborhood. Walking into his residence, I saw his emaciated figure sitting on the sofa with a tired and helpless expression on his face. I stepped forward and asked softly, "Dad, how are you?" I've come to see you. ”
My father looked up and saw me, a look of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes. His lips trembled and he said, "Xiaoyu, you're here." There was a complex emotion in his voice, which seemed to be both an expression of gratitude to me and an expression of his helplessness and sorrow.
I sat next to him, patted his hand gently, and comforted, "Dad, don't worry, I will help you." Tell me first, how is your condition? What treatments are needed? ”
My father sighed and said, "I was diagnosed with cancer, which is terminal. The doctor said chemotherapy and surgery were needed, but I didn't have enough money to pay for the medicine. I didn't know who to turn to, so I thought of you. ”
When I heard my father's words, my heart trembled. Cancer is a terrible disease, and I can't imagine how my father felt when he faced such an illness. I held his hand tightly and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll do my best to help you." We'll get through this. ”
My father and I discussed the treatment plan and the cost of the treatment. Although I didn't have much money, I was determined to help him as best I could. We had a treatment plan in place, and at the same time I started to raise money for medical care.
In the days that followed, I did my best to raise money for my father's medical expenses. I reached out to friends and family through various channels to seek their help and support. Some people expressed sympathy and concern for my father's condition and were willing to lend a hand; And some people choose to ignore it, which makes me feel the helplessness of human affection.
In the process, I also experienced my own helplessness and difficulties. I'm not a wealthy person, and I can't come up with a large amount of medical expenses at once, so I can only rely on a little bit of fundraising and accumulation. But I didn't want to give up because I knew my father needed me and I wanted to be able to do something for him.
Eventually, after hard work, I managed to raise some of the medical expenses. Although it was not enough to pay for all the treatment, I decided to get my father started the treatment first and then slowly raise the rest of the cost.
In the hospital, I accompanied my father through the difficult treatment process. Looking at his emaciated body, my heart was filled with endless guilt and guilt. Over the years, my parents have been cold and ruthless to me, and I have never really forgiven them, and now, I can only try my best to make up for their regrets and shortcomings at this time.
After several months of treatment, my father's condition was gradually brought under control and his body slowly recovered. Although he is still vulnerable, I can see hope and life rekindled in his eyes. I know that although our relationship was once estranged, this reunion has made our family relationship deeper and more precious.
On the day my father recovered and was discharged from the hospital, I helped him out of the hospital. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and I felt a glimmer of warmth and hope in my life. I know that despite our conflicts and estrangements, this is all in the past. Now, I would like to reconnect with my parents and spend the rest of my life together.
