It was a sunny afternoon, and Qu Ying was busy filming on the set, but at this beautiful moment, she inexplicably swelled up with deep thoughts about the warm family life more than 20 years ago.
Qu Ying's father, Qu Jizhi, is an outstanding actor in the famous Flower Drum Theater in Hunan Province, and her mother Ding Jiali is an outstanding dancer in the Hunan Provincial Workers' Art Troupe.
After the divorce, Qu Ying and her brother lived with their mother, and only had the opportunity to see their father on holidays. Whenever parents get together, there is a tense atmosphere in the house. Qu Jizhi and Ding Jiali are like two high-spirited roosters, arguing endlessly.
Qu Ying recalled those familiar pictures, and the scene of the year seemed to resurface in front of her eyes, seeing her immature self shouting "get out of here" to the children gathered downstairs...... The helplessness and pain still linger in her mind.
After graduating from university, Qu Ying successfully launched her acting career with her outstanding talent and talent. Just as her fame was growing, in 1995, her father suddenly revealed to her that he was about to marry Ai Xiaolan, a widow from rural Hunan who was 24 years younger than him.
At first, Qu Ying couldn't accept this fact, and she tried her best to persuade her father to give up this decision, and even invited relatives and friends to come and do ideological work, but she couldn't change her father's mind.
After all, Ai Xiaolan's age and family background are far from her father's, and Qu Ying's heart is full of prejudice, and she is deeply afraid that her father will be hurt.
She once said to Ai Xiaolan unabashedly: "As a woman in her thirties, you married an old man in her sixties with two children, for whatever reason, the age gap alone is enough to be incomprehensible.
Qu Jizhi and Ai Xiaolan's wedding was held as scheduled, and Ai Xiaolan moved into Qu's house with her two sons and officially became Qu Ying's stepmother. However, due to her deep-seated prejudices, Qu Ying treats Ai Xiaolan coldly and detachedly, and always avoids her topic intentionally or unintentionally whenever she talks to her family on the phone.
During the Spring Festival in 1997, Qu Ying needed to return to her hometown in Changsha because of work, which was also her first face-to-face contact with her stepmother. At the beginning, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely embarrassing, Qu Ying endured the discomfort in her heart, and called out "Auntie" with difficulty, her tone was stiff, her eyes wandered, and she couldn't feel the slightest family affection at all.
As time passed, the relationship between Qu Ying and Ai Xiaolan became closer and closer. She found that this stepmother was full of selfless dedication to her family, meticulous care, and simple and kind quality, and it was appropriate to describe her as a diligent and virtuous lady! Qu Ying knew that Qu Jizhi loved sports and painting, so she personally arranged for her youngest son to accompany her father, and personally mixed colors, polished pen and ink, and waited by the side.
Every time they go out, they always hold hands, and their affection is incomparable, which is enviable.
Once, when Qu Jizhi unfortunately contracted an illness, Ai Xiaolan did not hesitate to stay in the hospital all night, carefully cooking delicious food, and looking forward to his speedy recovery. Seeing his father's life become more colorful under the careful care of his stepmother, the doubts in Qu Ying's heart gradually dissipated.
She began to deeply understand Ai Xiaolan's deep friendship for the family, so she decided to take the initiative to sponsor her to open a small restaurant to help her realize her dreams.
Qu Ying clearly remembers that when Ai Xiaolan received the funding, her face was full of happiness, and she kept bowing and thanking her. And Qu Ying just smiled indifferently and thought: You're welcome, this is what you deserve.
Qu Ying still remembers that it was a day that made her feel very emotional. As her father's condition deteriorated and he was admitted to the hospital, she hurried to the hospital to visit. When she saw her father's aging and haggard face, tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Qu Jizhi reluctantly squeezed out a smile and comforted his daughter: "With such an excellent and filial daughter as you, how can I have a bad life?" But Qu Ying clearly felt the pain and helplessness in her father's heart.
Later, she learned the truth from a friend in Changsha.
It turned out that the reason why his father was getting thinner and haggard was because Qu Ying was resolutely opposed to his marriage to Ai Xiaolan, so that his father had to alienate Ai Xiaolan and even prevent her from interfering in household affairs.
A strong sense of guilt and self-blame welled up in her heart, and Qu Ying sincerely said to her father: "Dad, if you really like Aunt Ai and are willing to spend the rest of your life with her, I will no longer object." ”
Inspired by his daughter's touching words, Qu Jizhi immediately left for Changsha and told Ai Xiaolan Qu Ying's intentions as they were. Hearing Qu Ying's kind words, Ai Xiaolan was deeply moved, and finally understood her good intentions.
From then on, Ai Xiaolan was determined to do her best to take care of this family.
After some hard work, the love between Qu Jizhi and Ai Xiaolan was rekindled, and the two quickly entered the palace of marriage. Ai Xiaolan looked at Qu Jizhi's happy smile on his face, and silently made a vow in her heart, determined to use her sincerity to win her daughter's understanding and acceptance.
In her married life, Qu Ying witnessed Ai Xiaolan's hard work and selfless dedication to her family, and her opinion gradually changed from prejudice to respect.
Ai Xiaolan is careful and thoughtful, and arranges the furnishings at home in an orderly manner, so that Qu Ying can feel the long-lost warmth and comfort every time she comes home. She is always concerned about Qu Ying's safety, and whenever there is a scandal about her, she will always call immediately to care about it.
Under Qu Ying's patient explanation, her hanging heart was finally relieved. Sometimes, Qu Ying needs to go out to perform, and Ai Xiaolan will carefully select gifts for her, whether it is a beautiful dress or a beautiful jewelry, they are full of expectations and blessings.
Whenever Qu Ying returns home, Ai Xiaolan always prepares a sumptuous dinner waiting for her. They would talk freely at the dinner table and share the details of each other's lives, and the topics were rich and varied, full of laughter.
Sometimes, Qu Ying will praise Ai Xiaolan's cooking skills from the bottom of her heart: "It's so delicious! Even the delicacies of a fine dining restaurant can't be compared! The kind-hearted Ai Xiaolan just smiled slightly, but this heart moved Qu Ying deeply.
Over time, Qu Ying has come to regard Ai Xiaolan as her biological mother. Every time she gets a new role, she will report good news to Ai Xiaolan as soon as possible, and say to her with a smile: "Aunt Ai, the successful interpretation of this role is inseparable from your full support!" Although Ai Xiaolan shook her head again and again in denial, Qu Ying was sincerely grateful to her: "Thanks to your careful care, I can devote myself to my career, otherwise I would not have achieved today's results."
It is precisely because of the strong and capable family backing of Ai Xiaolan that Qu Ying can devote herself to the pursuit of her career without any worries. With her outstanding talent, she not only won the honorary title of "China's No. 1 Model", but also successfully set foot in many fields such as actor, host and singer, and her career is booming, becoming a household name star.
Whenever she is caught in a heavy workload, Qu Ying can't help but miss the thoughtfulness and delicate care that Ai Xiaolan conveyed at that time. What she still remembers is that time due to the continuous filming of film and television works, her tired body and mind were seriously challenged, but at this time, Ai Xiaolan carefully prepared her favorite hometown food, and also told her to rest well, that sincere care and care, like a biological mother's affection, was deeply engraved in Qu Ying's heart.
These bits and pieces of warmth in life made Qu Ying deeply feel Ai Xiaolan's selfless love for her, and this feeling was as deep and precious as her biological mother.
With such a strong backing as Ai Xiaolan, Qu Ying's spiritual world has become brighter and clearer. She is deeply aware that in this special family environment, not all stepmothers are as narrow-minded, selfish, vicious and mean as the outside world speculates.
On the contrary, many excellent stepmothers have written the most sincere love chapter in the world for those children who are not related by blood with their noble and broad maternal love.
Ai Xiaolan won Qu Ying's incomparable trust and admiration with her practical actions. Every time she talks about her stepmother's virtues, Qu Ying always praises her sincerely: "She is a great mother who is talented and virtuous, and our whole family feels very fortunate to have her company."
Qu Ying's sincere confession is undoubtedly the highest praise and affirmation of Ai Xiaolan.
