The prodigal son turned back as expensive as gold, and got rich to show his spirit.
After ten years of hard study, Lu Yao has seen his sincerity for a long time.
Work hard, struggle, and success is the door hidden by wisdom and hard work.
On the day of reversal, everything that is given will be rewarded, and everything that gathers will rain down.
I am an ordinary rural youth, I was 26 years old in 95, and I have been working this land for generations since I was a child, living a simple and unpretentious life.
There are 3 people in my family, and my grandparents passed away a few years ago, leaving me and my parents to barely survive at home.
Although his father was not highly educated, he was very hardworking and worked in the fields from morning to night, and his mother was a strong woman, who could not only afford to put it down, but also took care of all the housework.
Although we are poor, we don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Every time the ivy sprouts and the wheat waves roll, many relatives and friends come to the family to help, although it is hard, but it is always happy and lively.
I finally got through to the marriageable age of my eldest son, and my parents began to look for a daughter-in-law.
After more than a year of hard work, they finally fell in love with a girl in the next village, the girl was beautiful and sweet, her skin was white and red, and her face was beautiful.
What is even more commendable is that she is not only knowledgeable in law, proficient in poetry and books, but also quite a craft, whether it is cooking, weaving, needlework.
But the conditions of the other party's family are far better than ours, and they offer a so-called "basic requirement" - a bride price of 8,000 yuan!
At that time, I was taken aback by this sky-high bride price, 8,000 yuan, but my family's entire income for two years!
My parents looked even more embarrassed, obviously they couldn't come up with so much money.
Seeing this, I hurriedly said that it was better to discuss this matter slowly, so I carried my hoe on my back and went to the field alone.
As soon as I reached the ground, I was dazzled by the scorching afterglow of the sun, and I simply knelt on the ground, trying to forget about the bride price, but the more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, and tears rolled in my eyes.
This family business is a good thing that our family has been looking forward to, but what can I do? The family is indeed struggling to make ends meet, where did they get so much money to pay the bride price?
For a while, my heart was full of contradictions and struggles, I really wanted to start a family, but the premise was to have a family as a foundation! If you were dragged down by your in-laws from the beginning, it would be a stumbling block for yourself.
Looking at the endless wheat fields, I fell into deep thought.
Should I grit my teeth and tighten my belt and pay the bride price? Or do you simply give up this family business?
Just when I was in a dilemma, a gentle and sweet female voice came: "What are you stunned here?" Do you want to go inside and take a sip of water? ”
I followed the prestige and saw Zhao Shuzhen, a little widow from the next village, standing on the ridge of the field, with a friendly smile on her pretty baby face.
Zhao Shuzhen is 25 years old this year and was widowed two years ago.
Her ex-husband accidentally stumbled and died while working outside, leaving her to live alone, although she was widowed and lonely, but Shuzhen did not fall into defeat, but worked hard to keep her family thrifty.
She worked in a factory in the county town for several years, not only made a lot of money, but also was well-informed and had her own understanding of many ways to make money.
After returning to her hometown, she often took the initiative to help her neighbors and won the love of the villagers.
Seeing my sad look, Shuzhen approached me and asked me with concern, "What's the matter?" Is there something difficult at home? ”
"Hey......" I sighed, thinking it would be okay to talk about it, "I've had a very difficult problem in my family lately......
As I spoke, I told the original story of the bride price dispute between my family and my in-laws.
Shuzhen nodded slightly after hearing this, and her expression could not hide her solemnity.
"Alas, the bride price of 8,000 yuan is indeed a bit too much. Your family is not rich, so you can't come up with that much money. ”
"Yes, how can our family have so much spare money? Even if I sell all my possessions, I'm afraid I won't be able to make up that amount......" I shook my head helplessly.
Seeing this, Sook-jeong fell into a brief silence, as if in deep thought.
After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Actually, this so-called bride price is just an old custom, and now that society is constantly improving, everyone should learn to keep pace with the times." ”
"Instead of spending all the limited family resources on this unrealistic family business, it is better to spend the money on more meaningful things to lay a good foundation for future life."
To be honest, Shuzhen's words did give me a new understanding, yes, why should marriage be constrained by money? Feelings are fundamental!
"Shuzhen, you have a lot of sense! Thank you so much! I couldn't help but nod my head to Sook-jeong.
"Haha, what's this?" Shuzhen smiled and said, "It's all thanks to my personal experience outside for several years." You also have to learn more from the outside world in the future, otherwise you will always be stuck in old ideas and unable to keep pace with the times. ”
Shuzhen said very insightfully, and I secretly made up my mind that in the future, I must be like her, bravely contact the outside world, so that I will not be imprisoned by these old ideas.
Since then, my approach to marriage has changed dramatically.
I began to think about how I could work hard for my future family life under the existing conditions.
And Shuzhen is always on the sidelines to guide me carefully and show me the way.
When I was completely dead to that family business, Shuzhen took the initiative to guide me, hoping to let me get rid of the haze and regain the courage to live.
"Don't get bogged down in the mess of stereotypes, it's a waste of time! You should go out and make a break. "Sook-jeong used to teach me that.
"But my education level is too low, where do I have this ability......" Whenever I have this kind of self-doubt, Shuzhen will correct it in time.
"Who says that if you have a low culture, you can't do anything? The key is to have a resilient heart! Her words were heartwarming.
"As long as you are determined to change your destiny and put into action to fight, your dreams will eventually become reality, believe in yourself, and you will definitely be able to do it!"
Sook-jeong's words gave me great encouragement.
Yes, everything has to be fought for with my own hands, there is never a shortcut to the road of life, I should be like her, never give up, and bravely face all difficulties and challenges.
I began to work tirelessly, and during the day, I continued to work in the fields; In the evening, I insisted on self-study of cultural knowledge, hoping to pass the national diploma exam and get a formal cultural certificate in the future.
In this way, day by day, year after year, under the careful guidance of Shuzhen, I finally passed an exam 5 years later and obtained the first Chinese certificate.
Although it is only a low level of education, it is a great breakthrough and progress for me, a complete "illiterate".
With this diploma, the trajectory of my life began to change dramatically.
By chance, I was hired as a temporary worker by a local construction company, and although the work was hard and tiring, I didn't complain at all, because it finally allowed me to take a new step in life.
At first, I could only get a meager salary of a few hundred yuan a month, but I was not discouraged, but raced against time to study business knowledge, and finally quickly became the technical backbone of the company.
In this way, with Shuzhen's careful guidance and my own diligent pursuit, I finally survived the most difficult years.
Gradually, I went from being an illiterate farmer to the workforce and developing in the construction industry.
The dawn of life slowly revealed a glimmer of hope ahead, and my heart began to ignite infinite longing for the future.
Yes, as long as you keep working hard, your dreams will come true one day!
In the past few years of my diligent work, my relationship with Shuzhen has slowly warmed up, and finally we have successfully come together.
After marriage, Shuzhen has always paid attention to and supported me in her unique way, and whenever I was struggling because of the hardships of work, she would take the initiative to come to my side and cheer me up.
Shuzhen often encouraged me with a simple smile, "You know, you are the only one in the village who has stepped into the modern workplace, if you can continue on this road, you may be able to set a good example for the young people in our village in the future!" ”
With these teachings from Sook-jeong, my fighting spirit was rekindled.
Yes, I am walking on an extraordinary path, how can I give up halfway? Isn't the meaning of a person's struggle to illuminate the future for more people?
I started to concentrate on my job skills. Through hard work, I gradually mastered all aspects of the construction industry and became a leader in the workplace.
Naturally, the company also saw my potential, so in my 8th year of work, they were ready to give me a big deal - an exceptional promotion to the position of the company's technical director!
I remember hearing this unexpected good news, and I was almost out of breath with excitement.
As a pure low-level person, I never thought that one day I would be able to win this important responsibility, this unexpected honor, is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and reward of fate for my years of hard work!
I was so excited that I couldn't wait to go home and share the great news with her.
But when I pushed the door open and saw her familiar figure, my excitement turned into an indescribable shame.
Yes, if I hadn't been taught by Shuzhen, how would I be where I am today? It was she who used her unique life experience and wisdom to make me re-recognize the direction of moving forward and walk out of a new path in life.
I almost burst into tears. Seeing me like this, Shuzhen took the initiative to step forward and gave me a warm hug.
She said with relief, "Look, as long as you are willing to fight for your ideals, anything that was once impossible will become possible!" ”
I didn't speak, just hugged Shuzhen tightly, and at this point, so much gratitude surged in my heart, to the point that it was almost indescribable.
Yes, I used all my courage and sweat to finally win this honor for myself that makes me extremely proud!
In this way, under the guidance of Shuzhen, I climbed to the top of my life step by step, and in her encouragement and expectations, I was reborn, regained my fighting spirit, and finally achieved my dream.
And Shuzhen's enlightenment to me will also accompany me into infinite strength, guiding me to continue to move forward and never stop.
After achieving great success in my career, my life seems to be on a smooth path, but deep down, I still remember what my wife told me.
It was thanks to her guidance that I was able to rediscover the direction of my life and finally realize my dream with my diligence and perseverance.
If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I'm still working hard in the fields today, living a monotonous life for generations.
The moment I was promoted, I made up my mind that I would repay her and love her in my own way.
So the first thing I did when I got my new position was to use my savings over the years to build a brand new building.
"I really don't know what to say......" After moving into the new house, Shuzhen looked at the new environment around her with a blank face, and said incoherently, "I have never lived in such a good house." ”
I smiled and felt that it was all as it should be, "Sook-jeong, it was your teaching that led me to a new world, and I am thanks to you for living this life. ”
Shuzhen was obviously moved by my sincerity, her eyes gradually moistened, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and sighed softly, as if she had made up some kind of determination.
"By the way, why don't you take your parents over and let's live here together?" She groaned slightly, "They are also old, and they will take it over if their lives are inconvenient, and I will take good care of them, what do you think?" ”
I was extremely touched by Shuzhen's words, and I couldn't have imagined that she cared so much about my parents.
I nodded yes without hesitation, and immediately took my elderly parents over and started a new life as a family.
Since then, we have lived happily together, I still work hard every day, and Shuzhen takes care of my parents at home, and the family is happy, which is simply the best picture of life.
I often look at this warm and peaceful scene, and a sense of happiness always rises in my heart, yes, it is with Shuzhen's awakening that I can find a way out of life again and finally realize my dream.
