On that day, I was wearing a military uniform and wearing a big red flower on my chest, standing on the streets of the county seat, waiting for the convoy to pick up my relatives. My face was full of joy and my heart was full of anticipation. This is the happy moment of my life, and I want to bring my beloved daughter-in-law home.
Finally, the convoy came, and I couldn't wait to jump into the car and drive towards my daughter-in-law's house. Along the way, the sound of firecrackers continued, and the mood was jubilant. When I arrived at my daughter-in-law's house, relatives and friends congratulated one after another, and after the wedding wine, everyone chatted happily.
However, at this moment, a relative suddenly complained: "Isn't your convoy too ostentatious?" In our small county, who doesn't know that you are an officer, so high-profile, you are not afraid of other people's gossip? ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect someone to ask such a question on such an occasion. I suppressed the anger in my heart and explained: "This is the tradition of our troops, and the convoy is composed of comrades-in-arms, which shows the deep friendship between comrades-in-arms. ”
But this relative did not give up: "Hmph, what tradition? I think it's a show! You're so high-profile, aren't you afraid of affecting your future? ”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and other relatives chimed in, accusing me of not being so high-profile. I felt wronged, but I couldn't refute it. Seeing this, the daughter-in-law hurriedly came out to play a round: "Don't talk about it, today is our happy day, don't affect your mood because of these little things." ”
However, the controversy did not subside. The more my relatives talked, the more excited they became, and some even began to dig through old accounts, saying that I had liked to show off since I was a child, and now that I am an officer, I am even more carried away.
I couldn't help myself and exclaimed, "I admit, I do like to show off." But I didn't do anything wrong with this kiss! I just want to give my beloved daughter-in-law a memorable wedding, is that also wrong? ”
My relatives were yelled at by me, and they suddenly fell silent. At this time, the father-in-law stood up and said earnestly: "Child, we know that you have a good heart, but you have to understand that in this small county, some things are better to keep a low profile. You are an officer, and you should pay more attention to your image. ”
I bowed my head, and my father-in-law's words made me feel guilty. I understand that they are all for my good, but in different ways. So, I apologized to my relatives and said that I would pay more attention to my words and actions in the future.
The turmoil finally subsided, but my mood could not be calmed for a long time. I understand that as a soldier, I must not only always pay attention to my image, but also learn to listen to my loved ones. This incident has made me grow a lot.
After the wedding, I returned to the army, secretly determined in my heart that I must work hard and prove my ability with practical actions, so that those who question me have nothing to say. This experience also made me cherish the time I spent with my loved ones and how to communicate with them and understand them.
Time flies. I always remember the lessons of that wedding, to be a low-key person and to do things in a high-profile manner. And my married life, with the blessings of my relatives, is becoming more and more happy and happy.
After the wedding, our lives gradually got back on track. I worked hard in the army, and my daughter-in-law got a job as a teacher in the county seat, and we supported and encouraged each other. Whenever I take a vacation, I go back to the county seat and spend quality time with my daughter-in-law.
One day, I received a letter from my hometown, which said that my hometown was going to build a Hope Primary School, and the people in the village wanted me to support the project. I know that this is what the people in my hometown expect from me, and it is also an opportunity for me to give back to my hometown.
I hesitated for a moment and decided to discuss it with my daughter-in-law. In the evening, when I got home, my daughter-in-law was busy in the kitchen. I walked up to her and handed her the letter: "Daughter-in-law, you see, this is a letter from my hometown, and they want me to fund the construction of a Hope Primary School. ”
My daughter-in-law took the letter, read it carefully, then raised her head and looked at me: "This is a good thing, why do you hesitate?" ”
I sighed: "As you know, we don't have a lot of savings, and if we use them to build a primary school, our lives may be affected." ”
My daughter-in-law smiled and held my hand: "It's okay, let's save a little, and life can always go on." It is our honor to be able to contribute to our hometown. ”
I was touched by my daughter-in-law's words and hugged her tightly: "Thank you, daughter-in-law, it is the luck of my life to be able to marry you." ”
With the support of my daughter-in-law, I decided to fund the construction of Hope Primary School. Relatives and friends in my hometown were amazed when they heard the news. The turmoil at that wedding seems to have become a distant memory.
Soon after, Hope Primary School broke ground. My daughter-in-law and I used our vacation time to return to our hometown to participate in the construction. The joy in our hearts is beyond words to see the children learning in the brand new classroom.
One day, the same relative who had accused me at the wedding came to me with a guilty look on his face: "At that time, I spoke too impulsively. Now it seems that you are a responsible person, and I am very proud of you. ”
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, there will always be misunderstandings between relatives." As long as we all think about each other in our hearts, these misunderstandings will always dissipate. ”
I hope that the children in primary school will grow up day by day, and my daughter-in-law and I will gradually grow old. But our relationship is getting deeper and deeper, and those misunderstandings and frustrations have become valuable assets in our marriage.
Nowadays, when night falls, my daughter-in-law and I sit in front of our house, looking at the starry sky and reminiscing about the time we spent together. Those ups and downs have turned into smiles on our faces, witnessing the years we have gone through together.
As the days passed, the children of Hope Primary School thrived with our care. Whenever I hear their laughter, my daughter-in-law and I are full of joy. We know that this primary school not only provides opportunities for children to learn, but also serves as a symbol of our emotional bond with the people of our hometown.
One day, my daughter-in-law suddenly said to me, "Husband, should we also do something for the children, can we do something other than building a primary school?" ”
I thought about it for a moment, and then I replied, "You're right, we can set up a scholarship to encourage children who excel in character and academics to continue their education." ”
The daughter-in-law's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "This idea is so good!" Let's call it the 'Hope Scholarship' to let the children know that if they work hard, there is hope to change their destiny." ”
We just did it and started preparing for this scholarship. We contacted the education department to get policy support and mobilized family and friends to donate together. After a lot of hard work, the 'Hope Scholarship' was finally established.
At the first scholarship ceremony, my daughter-in-law and I stood on the podium and looked at the excited children, and our hearts were filled with emotion. I said, "Students, this scholarship is our expectation for you, and I hope you will cherish the opportunity to study and pursue your dreams bravely." ”
The daughter-in-law also said gently: "No matter where you go in the future, you must remember that your hometown will always be your backing." I hope you will succeed in your studies and come back to build your hometown. ”
With the establishment of the 'Hope Scholarship', our influence has spread in our hometown. Many people praised us and said that we were the pride of our hometown. The turmoil of that wedding has long been diluted by the years, replaced by people's respect and gratitude for us.
Time flies, time flies. My daughter-in-law and I are gradually entering the twilight of our lives, but our hearts are still young. Every holiday, we still go back to our hometown to see those children and learn about their study and life.
One day, we were approached by a child who had won a 'Hope Scholarship' and was now a student at a prestigious university. He said gratefully, "Uncle and aunt, thank you. It was you who gave me the confidence and courage to believe that if I work hard, I can achieve my dreams. ”
My daughter-in-law and I looked at each other and smiled, and the joy in our hearts was indescribable. We understand that all these years have been worth it. Although we do not have biological children, these children are like our children, and their growth and success are our greatest happiness.
In this way, we have spent countless spring and autumn seasons and witnessed the growth of batches of children. And those stories of hope, dreams and love have also been sung in my hometown and have become eternal legends.
As my daughter-in-law and I got older, we gradually developed various minor physical problems. Despite this, we remain optimistic and continue to work for the children in our hometown.
One day, my daughter-in-law and I were basking in the sun in the yard when we suddenly heard the doorbell ringing. My daughter-in-law went to open the door, and when she came back, she told me with a surprise on her face, "Husband, guess who's coming?" It's the kid who won the 'Hope Scholarship' and is now a doctor! ”
I looked at my daughter-in-law in amazement, and then at the young man who walked into the courtyard, he was wearing a white coat and looked mature and steady. When he saw us, he smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, it's been a long time, are you all right?" ”
I shook his hand excitedly: "Okay, okay, we're all fine." As for you, you must be busy as a doctor, right? ”
He replied with a smile, "Yes, work is busy, but I always remember your teachings, work hard and contribute to society." ”
We talked for a long time, and he talked about his upbringing and schooling process. I listened to his story with pride and relief. This is the child we once sponsored, and now he has grown into an excellent talent with a sense of responsibility and responsibility.
As the days passed, my daughter-in-law's physical condition and I became worse and worse. But we never forgot those children, and whenever our health allowed, we would go to school to see them and give them encouragement and support.
One day, I fell ill, and my daughter-in-law was by my side and took good care of me. I looked at her tired back, my heart filled with gratitude and guilt. I know that over the years, she has done so much for me and the children in my hometown.
I gently held her hand and said with emotion: "Daughter-in-law, thank you, you have worked hard all these years. ”
The daughter-in-law turned her head, tears flashing in her eyes: "Husband, this is what I should do." As long as I can be with you and do something for the children in my hometown, I will be satisfied. ”
Under the careful care of my daughter-in-law, my body gradually recovered. We decided to cherish each other more in the future and continue to contribute to the children in our hometown.
Time flies, and we are gradually entering the twilight years. But our hearts are still young and full of hope. We believe that as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome all difficulties. Those stories of hope, dreams and love will continue to be sung in my hometown and become eternal legends.
