My name is Chen Guobing, I am 55 this year, and I am a veteran. Twenty years ago, I lost my left leg in an accident and have been living on a right leg and a cane. My wife, Cuihua, is ten years younger than me, and she had to marry me, a cripple, because she saw that I was honest and could give her a sense of security. I gave her this sense of security, but life was hard, and I always couldn't go away in my heart.
That day, I had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. Cuihua was so anxious that she turned around, but she still pretended to be calm and kept comforting me in my ear: "Brother Bing, don't be afraid, with me, you will definitely be fine." ”
During the days of hospitalization, Cuihua took good care of me. She got up at 5 o'clock every morning, made me porridge and soup, and then took an hour's bus ride to the hospital, chatted with me, and wiped me down. I see it in my eyes, and it hurts in my heart.
One day, Cuihua meets a hooligan in the hospital hallway, who gets drunk and does something to her. I was lying in bed, anxious, but unable to do anything. Cuihua's face turned pale with fright, but she still straightened her back and shouted loudly: "If you don't let go, my husband will come!" ”
The scoundrel doesn't believe in evil and wants to continue to entangle. Just then, a young man passed by, and in a righteous and courageous manner, he drove the rascal away. The young man's name is Xiao Zhang, and he is a worker on a construction site near the hospital. He told us that he also had a father who was a soldier, and when he saw Cuihua in trouble, he remembered his mother.
Xiao Zhang became our friend, he often came to the hospital to see me, and he also helped Cuihua take care of me. One day, Cuihua suddenly said to me: "Brother Bing, I think Xiao Zhang's child is very good, why don't we recognize him as a godson." ”
I was stunned, looking at the cuihua, and my heart was mixed. I know that Cuihua has always wanted a child, but I can't let her do it due to physical reasons. Now, she has a crush on Xiao Zhang, and I know that she wants to make up for this regret.
I nodded and said to Cuihua, "Okay, listen to you." ”
In this way, Xiao Zhang became our godson. He's happy and we're relieved. However, the good times did not last long, my condition suddenly deteriorated, and the doctor said that I needed surgery, but the surgery was very risky.
Cuihua and Xiao Zhang were in a hurry, but they both encouraged me and told me to get through. On the day of the operation, Cuihua held my hand tightly and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Bing, you have to hold on, my son and I are still waiting for you." ”
I looked at her, smiled, and prayed silently that I would make it through.
On the operating table, I experienced the test of life and death. When I woke up, Cuihua and Xiao Zhang cried with joy. I know, I made it.
At that moment, I understood that although life is full of ups and downs, as long as we work together, we can always get through it. And my cuihua is my biggest reliance in this life.
After the surgery, my body gradually recovered, but my emotions became extremely complicated. The better Cuihua and Xiao Zhang treated me, the more I felt like a burden. One night, in the quiet of the ward, Cuihua fell asleep on the side of the bed, and Xiao Zhang sat on the chair and took a nap. As I looked at them, I felt a warm current in my heart, but it was also mixed with deep guilt.
I gently woke up Xiao Zhang, he rubbed his eyes and asked me, "Uncle Bing, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
I shook my head and motioned for him to come closer. I whispered, "Xiao Zhang, don't come to see me in the future, work hard and live well." Your aunt and I don't want to be a burden to you. ”
Xiao Zhang's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that I would say such a thing. He was anxious and said, "Uncle Bing, what are you talking about!" In my heart, you and Auntie are like my own parents. I take care of you, as you should. ”
I sighed and wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhang grabbed the conversation: "Uncle Bing, do you know? My dad was also a veteran, and he always told me that people who were soldiers were the most righteous. Now that you're sick, how can I leave you alone? ”
I was deeply touched by his words, and my eyes couldn't help but moisten. Cuihua was woken up by the sound of our conversation, she rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Brother Bing, what are you talking about?" ”
I smiled, shook Cuihua's hand, and said, "It's okay, I'm chatting with Xiao Zhang." ”
Cuihua looked at me with concern in her eyes. I know that she also has a lot of worries and uneasiness in her heart. That night, the three of us talked for a long time until the dead of night.
As the days passed, my body was slowly recovering. Xiao Zhang comes to the hospital every day to help, and his optimism and positivity also infect us. One day, the doctor told me that I could be discharged from the hospital, but I needed regular follow-ups.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Cuihua and Xiao Zhang were busy and helped me pack my things. Before leaving, Xiao Zhang suddenly said, "Uncle Bing, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
Cuihua asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to resign and open a small shop to sell some military souvenirs." That way, I'll have more time to take care of you. ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect Xiao Zhang to make such a big sacrifice for us. Cuihua had tears in her eyes and said to Xiao Zhang: "Child, you have really grown up. ”
I patted Xiao Zhang on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Zhang, we have received your heart, but your future cannot be given up for us." The three of us work together and support each other, and we will always get better. ”
Xiao Zhang nodded, his eyes shining with determination. In this way, the three of us seem to form a close chain, relying on each other to face the wind and rain of the future together.
When I got home, my life was back to my former peace. Xiao Zhang goes to work during the day and comes over at night to chat with us and help with some housework. Cuihua continued her careful care, and I, too, began to try to do what I could to lighten their burden.
The three of us, like a family, have gone through a difficult time together. In those days, we laughed constantly, and the warmth was like spring. And those ups and downs and tribulations seem to have become the strength for us to move forward together.
As the days passed, the three of us grew closer and closer. Xiao Zhang's proposal surprised me and Cuihua, but also saw his strong determination. So, we started to think about his plan, hoping to help him realize his dream.
A month later, Xiao Zhang's military souvenir shop was successfully opened. Business is unexpectedly booming, and many veterans and military enthusiasts have become his regular customers. Xiao Zhang's warm service and professional knowledge won everyone's praise, and the reputation of the store gradually spread.
One weekend, Cuihua and I decided to help out at the store. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Xiao Zhang was very busy. He greeted us with a smile on his face: "Uncle Bing, Auntie, you are here!" Business is very good today, and I'm worried that I can't be busy alone. ”
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhang, you are awesome!" We're just in time, let's do it today! ”
On that day, the three of us were busy together, receiving guests, introducing goods, and packing and shipping. Although tired, my heart was full of joy. After closing in the evening, we sat at the small table in the store, eating takeout and chatting.
Cuihua looked at Xiao Zhang and asked with concern, "Xiao Zhang, are you tired today?" Pay attention to your body. ”
Xiao Zhang replied with a smile: "Auntie, I'm not tired!" I'm so happy to work with all of you. And, seeing these veterans and military enthusiasts enjoy my merchandise gives me a sense of accomplishment. ”
I joined the conversation: "Yes, Xiao Zhang, you did a great job. We are proud of you. ”
At this time, Xiao Zhang suddenly became serious and said, "Uncle Bing, Auntie, in fact, I still have an idea. I want to use some of the income from the store to help veterans in need and make them feel cared for by society. ”
Cuihua and I looked at each other, and a wave of warmth welled up in our hearts. I patted Xiao Zhang on the shoulder: "Good idea, Xiao Zhang!" We've got your back! ”
In this way, Xiao Zhang's military souvenir shop not only brought him a career, but also became a place to convey love and warmth. The three of us, hand in hand, made this small shop full of human feelings.
As Xiao Zhang's business becomes more and more prosperous, our life is getting better and better. However, fate always seems to like to play a joke on us. Just when we thought everything was going well, an unexpected piece of news shattered the silence.
That day, Cuihua received a phone call, and her face instantly turned pale. I nervously held her hand: "Cuihua, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with the family? ”
Cuihua trembled her lips and said with difficulty: "Brother Bing, my brother suddenly fell ill and his condition is very serious. Doctors say surgery may be needed. ”
My heart suddenly tugged and comforted Cuihua: "Don't worry, Cuihua. We will face it together and we will definitely get through this difficult time. ”
Xiao Zhang also walked over and said firmly: "Auntie, Uncle Bing, I will share it with you." I'll take care of the business in the store, so don't worry about taking care of your uncle. ”
In the face of such a predicament, the three of us are once again closely united to face the challenges of life together. And this time, we are equally convinced that if we work together, we can get through this difficult time and make life shine again.
Cuihua's younger brother, my brother-in-law, named Li Ming, is ten years younger than me, and he is a hardworking and simple young man. He worked in other places, and in order to reduce the burden on his family, he worked hard outside all year round. This sudden illness was a heavy blow to our family.
Cuihua anxiously packed her luggage and prepared to rush to Li Ming's city. I sat on the edge of the bed and watched her busy back, with mixed feelings. I know that this will be another unknown test.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang immediately picked up the car keys and said, "Auntie, I'll drive you to the train station." ”
Cuihua looked at him gratefully: "Xiao Zhang, thank you." ”
I forced a smile: "Xiao Zhang, thank you for your hard work." We're gone, and the store is up to you. ”
Xiao Zhang said firmly: "Uncle Bing, you can go with confidence." There's me in the store, no problem. ”
On the train, Cuihua looked out the window worriedly, and I gently held her hand and comforted her: "Cuihua, don't worry, Li Ming will get through." ”
When we arrived at the hospital, we met Li Ming. He was pale, but in good spirits. Seeing us, he barely squeezed out a smile: "Sister, brother-in-law, you are here." ”
Cuihua's tears burst out of her eyes, and she held Li Ming's hand tightly: "Brother, you have to be strong, we are all by your side." ”
The doctor told us that although Li Ming's condition was serious, as long as he actively cooperated with the treatment, there was still great hope for recovery. We listened and felt a little more at ease.
In Li Ming's hospital room, we took turns to take care of him and bring him the warmth of home. Li Ming was also very competitive, actively cooperated with the treatment, and his condition gradually stabilized. However, the high cost of treatment has put us under pressure. In order to finance my medical bills, I decided to take out a loan with my veteran card, even though I knew it would mean more debt.
When Xiao Zhang learned about it, he resolutely objected: "Uncle Bing, this can't be done." You've worked hard enough to put more pressure on you. I will try to keep as much income as possible from the store, and we will work together to get through it. ”
I looked at Xiao Zhang, and a warmth welled up in my heart. This young child has become an indispensable part of our lives. I patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhang, thank you." Together, we will be able to get through this as a family. ”
During Li Ming's treatment, the three of us worked together to get through the difficulties together. Xiao Zhang's business is getting better and better, and he not only uses part of his income to help veterans, but also spends most of his profits on Li Ming's treatment. With our joint efforts, Li Ming's condition gradually improved.
Finally, after a long period of treatment and rehabilitation, Li Ming recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Our family hugged each other tightly and was full of emotion. This experience made us cherish each other more and firmly believe that as long as we are united, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Back at home, we continue to live an ordinary and happy life. Xiao Zhang's shop is thriving, and Li Ming has found a stable job in his hometown. And I, although I have limited mobility, I am also trying to do what I can to contribute to this family.
Time flies, our family has gone hand in hand and has gone through countless ups and downs. Those ups and downs and tribulations seem to have become the strength for us to move forward together. In this big family full of love, we support each other to face the challenges of the future together, so that life is full of hope and sunshine.
