My name is Tianqi and I live in a family full of warmth and love. Dad is a skilled worker in a factory, his craftsmanship is exquisite, and he is honest and kind; My mother is a virtuous housewife who is a first-class cook and always keeps the house in order. Although our family of three lives an ordinary life, every day is full of laughter.
However, this peaceful life was shattered by an unexpected phone call. That day, I was immersed in a sea of books in my room, and suddenly I heard my mother's slightly nervous voice from the living room: "Tianqi, you come out, I have something to tell you." ”
I put down the book in my hand and walked out of the room, only to see my mother sitting on the sofa with a frown and a mobile phone in her hand. When she saw me coming out, she motioned for me to sit down, and then whispered: "Tianqi, your Aunt Liu has been calling your dad lately, and your dad is not very good at refusing people, so I'm worried about ......."
"Worried about what?" I asked curiously.
"I'm worried that your dad will be influenced by her, after all, they're getting a little close now." Mom said worriedly.
"However, they are just chatting, and it should be nothing." I tried to comfort my mom.
"Well, I hope I'm thinking too much." Mom sighed, "But you know what? After Aunt Liu's husband died, she lived alone and may have been a little lonely. I'm afraid she'll become dependent on your dad because of this. ”
As I listened to my mother's words, I began to feel a little uneasy. I know that my mother has always cared about my father, and she doesn't want to see my father being influenced by others, let alone seeing our family destroyed.
Just then, Dad returned. As soon as he entered the door, his mother couldn't help but tell him about it. After hearing this, Dad smiled helplessly and said, "Wife, you really think too much." Aunt Liu and I are just friends, chatting and relieving boredom, it's not a big deal. ”
"But don't you think it's strange that she always calls you?" Mom asked.
"Oh, wife, don't think about it. She probably just wanted someone to talk to. Besides, we've been married for so many years, don't you still believe me? Dad patiently explained.
Looking at Dad's sincere eyes, I knew he wasn't lying. However, my mother's worries are not unreasonable. I decided to find a chance to have a good chat with Aunt Liu and see what she really thinks.
A few days later, I went to find Aunt Liu after school. She was very happy to see me visiting, and quickly invited me into the house. We sat on the couch and I started chatting as I drank her tea.
"Aunt Liu, have you been calling my dad a lot lately?" I asked tentatively.
Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Yes, Tianqi." I know this might be a bit of a bother, but I'm really just looking for a friend to talk to. Your dad is very nice, and we talked very speculatively. ”
"Oh, I see." I breathed a sigh of relief, "Aunt Liu, in fact, my mother is very worried that you will get too close to my dad and affect our family. She doesn't mean anything, she just wants you to understand. ”
"I understand, Tianqi." Aunt Liu said seriously, "Actually, I also realized that this may not be good. I'll be careful and won't cause trouble to your family. ”
"That's good." I smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, you can actually go out and make some new friends." That way you won't be so lonely. ”
"You're right, Tianqi." Aunt Liu looked at me gratefully, "Thank you for caring about me so much." I'll try to change myself. ”
Since then, Aunt Liu really hasn't called her father frequently. She also started to be active in the community and made some new friends. And our home has returned to its former peace and warmth.
However, just when we thought everything was back to normal, an unexpected thing happened. One night, we were having dinner when we suddenly heard a commotion outside. We hurriedly ran out to take a look, only to see that Aunt Liu's door was full of people, and a policeman was asking about something.
When we asked, we found out that there was a fire in Aunt Liu's house. The fire was not large, but it had already burned her room to the ground. We looked at Aunt Liu's helpless eyes and felt very sad. Dad hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her and helped her contact the insurance company and the fire department.
After some effort, the fire was quickly brought under control. Aunt Liu also regained her confidence in life. She said with emotion: "Although this fire has caused me to lose a lot of things, it has also made me see clearly who is the person who really cares about me. Thank you family for helping and supporting me during my most difficult time. ”
Since then, our relationship with Aunt Liu has become closer. We often invite her to our home to share the moments of life together. And Aunt Liu has become more cheerful and optimistic. She no longer closes herself off as before, but actively integrates into the social family.
This story made me deeply realize that in life, we will inevitably encounter some difficulties and setbacks. But as long as we maintain a kind and optimistic attitude to face them, we will definitely be able to overcome them and usher in a better future!
