Li Fang stood in the corridor of the hospital, clutching the cold death notice in her hand. Her husband, the breadwinner of the family, had left for good in a sudden car accident just an hour earlier. Her heart felt like it had been hit with a hammer, and she was almost out of breath in pain. The three little brothers-in-law, the eldest was no more than ten years old, and the youngest was only five years old, they didn't understand what was going on, they just clutched the corners of Li Fang's clothes tightly, their eyes full of confusion and fear.
"Sister-in-law, brother, he ......" The eldest brother-in-law opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the whole thing.
Li Fang took a deep breath, held back her tears, squatted down, and gently held his hand, "It's okay, sister-in-law will take care of you in the future." ”
She stood up and looked out the window, the sky was gray, just like she was feeling at the moment. The death of her husband not only took away the warmth of the family, but also left a large debt. Li Fang knew that she had to be strong, and for the sake of these three children, she couldn't fall.
A few days later, Li Fang began her part-time job. She got a job at a small restaurant and got up at 4 a.m. every morning and stayed busy until late at night. Despite the hard work, her heart is filled with comfort whenever she sees the children fed and clothed.
"Sister-in-law, are you tired?" The eldest uncle looked at Li Fang's tired figure and asked distressedly.
"Don't be tired, as long as you are well, my sister-in-law is not afraid of anything." Li Fang replied with a smile, although there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
The children are also very sensible, they know the hard work of their sister-in-law, and they never complain or cause trouble. The youngest brother-in-law always hugged the bear that Li Fang gave him, and that was his only comfort.
"Sister-in-law, when I grow up, I want to protect my family like you." There was firmness in his immature voice.
Li Fang's tears almost fell, and she hugged him tightly, "Okay, sister-in-law is waiting for that day." ”
In this way, Li Fang used her weak shoulders to carry the whole family. Although the road ahead is difficult, she believes that as long as the family is heart-to-heart, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Every day of Li Fang is like a race against time. Not only does she have to be busy in restaurants, but she also has to help her children with their homework after school. Despite the constraints of life, she insisted that no child drop out of school because she knew the importance of education.
"Sister-in-law, do we really need so many books?" The second uncle pointed to the textbooks piled up on the table and asked with some hesitation.
"Of course you do," Li Fang replied as she sorted out the books on her desk, "Books are your key to the future." ”
Although the children are young, they gradually understand Li Fang's hard work. They began to study harder, hoping to lighten Li Fang's burden.
"Sister-in-law, look, I took the first place in the class in math this time!" The eldest brother-in-law took the report card and ran home excitedly.
Li Fang's face showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, "Awesome, you are my pride." ”
Over time, the debt gradually decreased, and the children's grades steadily improved. Although Li Fang's life is still poor, her heart is becoming more and more fulfilling. She knew that her efforts had not been in vain.
"Sister-in-law, we will also be like you in the future, work hard to make our family live a good life." The third uncle took Li Fang's hand and said seriously.
Li Fang's eyes moistened, and she gently stroked the head of the third little uncle, you are all good children, sister-in-law believes that you will be able to do it. ”
In this way, Li Fang used her diligence and wisdom to change the fate of this family bit by bit. Her story, while not an earth-shattering feat, is full of warmth and strength.
Li Fang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, she felt a wave of dizziness, the vegetable basket in her hand slipped to the ground, and the vegetables were scattered all over the ground. Aunt Zhang, a neighbor, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Fang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Aunt Zhang, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Li Fang barely squeezed out a smile, but there was a tremor in her voice.
"Tired? You're clearly sick! Hurry to the hospital and have a look. Aunt Zhang couldn't help but say, helped Li Fang clean up the vegetables on the ground, and insisted on taking her to the hospital.
The results of the examination at the hospital brought Li Fang's heart to the bottom, because she was overworked for a long time, her body was seriously overdrawn, and she needed to be hospitalized immediately. Li Fang sat on the hospital bed with mixed feelings. What she worries about is not her own condition, but the life and studies of her three brothers-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you must have a good rest, we will take care of ourselves." The eldest uncle held Li Fang's hand, his eyes firm.
"Yes, sister-in-law, we will study hard and not let you worry." The second brother-in-law also chimed in.
Li Fang's tears rolled in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "You are all good children, sister-in-law believes in you." ”
During the hospitalization, the three uncles took turns to visit Li Fang in the hospital, and they brought their own handicrafts and interesting things in school, trying their best to make Li Fang feel relaxed and happy.
"Sister-in-law, look, this is the boat I made, and when you are discharged from the hospital, we will go rowing in the park together." The third uncle took out a small boat folded with paper, and his face was full of anticipation.
Li Fang's heart is warm, she knows that although she is not with the children, they have not given up, but are more independent and strong.
"Okay, sister-in-law is discharged from the hospital, let's go boating." Li Fang smiled and agreed, she believed that as long as there is love, nothing cannot be passed.
Li Fang's hospitalization was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The three little uncles seem to have grown up overnight. They began to cook their own meals, do their own laundry, and even the youngest brother-in-law learned how to use the washing machine. Their lives are simple, but they are well organized.
"Big brother, I'll cook today's meal, you and the second brother go to school." The third uncle stood at the door of the kitchen, holding a shabby cookbook in his hand.
The eldest uncle was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, then let's come back from school for a big dinner." ”
After school, they arrive at the hospital with their school homework and the exhaustion of the day. When Li Fang saw them, she was both moved and distressed.
"Sister-in-law, we've come to see you." The second brother-in-law was carrying a thermos box in his hand, which contained the chicken soup they had made by themselves.
"You guys are ......," Li Fang's voice choked a little.
"Sister-in-law, this is what we made, you can taste it." The eldest uncle carefully opened the insulated box, and the smell of chicken soup filled the ward.
Li Fang tasted it, and tears almost fell, "This is the best chicken soup I've ever tasted." ”
"Sister-in-law, you take good care of your illness, and we have the affairs of the family." The third brother-in-law sat on the edge of the bed, holding Li Fang's hand, his eyes full of determination.
Li Fang's heart was full of warmth, she knew that these three children were no longer children who needed her to take care of at all times, and they were able to take on the responsibility of the family.
"Sister-in-law, this is the letter we wrote to you." The second brother-in-law took out a stack of letter paper from his schoolbag, which was full of their love and gratitude to Li Fang.
Li Fang read it one by one, and every sentence was like a warm current, warming her heart. She knows that no matter what the future holds, she will not be alone, because she has three of the most precious family members in the world.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, the sun was shining, and Li Fang's mood was as sunny as the weather. She stood at the entrance of the hospital, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt like she had been given a new lease of life. The three little uncles were already waiting there, their smiles brighter than the sun.
"Sister-in-law, welcome home!" The eldest uncle stepped forward and took the luggage in Li Fang's hand.
"Yes, sister-in-law, we miss you so much." The second and third uncles also surrounded them, vying to support Li Fang.
Li Fang's eyes moistened, and she hugged them tightly, "I miss you so much, my sister-in-law is so happy to see you so sensible." ”
Back at home, Li Fang found that everything was in order. Not only did the children clean the house, but they also prepared a hearty meal to celebrate her recovery.
"Sister-in-law, sit down and try our craft." The eldest uncle took Li Fang's hand and asked her to sit at the head of the table.
Li Fang sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, which were full of color and flavor, and a warm current surged in her heart. She took a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, and it tasted surprisingly good.
"Who did you learn this from?" Li Fang asked in surprise.
"We found video tutorials on the Internet and followed along." The third uncle said proudly.
Li Fang's heart was full of pride, she knew that these three children had learned to be independent, to take care of themselves, and to take care of others.
After the meal, the children took out their report cards, and all of them were excellent. Li Fang looked at them, and her heart was full of relief.
"Sister-in-law, we promised you to study hard and not let you worry." The second uncle said seriously.
Li Fang's tears finally couldn't help flowing, and she hugged them tightly, "You did it, sister-in-law is proud of you." ”
At night, Li Fang lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, and her heart was full of gratitude. She knows that her efforts and sacrifices have not been in vain, and she has three of the most sensible and caring family members in the world. She believes that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as the family is heart-to-heart, nothing is impossible.
