1. Reverse reveal the arrival of Ouyang Yi's family and the courtesy received by Jiang Defu
In the middle of summer, the soft sun shines on Songshan Island, and the fresh and pleasant sea breeze blows through it, filling the air with an intoxicating fragrance. At this time, the aroma in Jiang Defu's house became more and more rich and mellow, like the aroma of rich wine, waiting to be released.
However, the sudden knock on the door aroused Jiang Defu's attention, and he stopped what he was doing and quickly walked to the door. It was his best friend Ouyang Yi and his family who caught his eye.
"Defoe, do you think we should celebrate today?" Ouyang Yi's face was full of joy, Jiang Defu saw this, his heart was already clear, and he greeted them into the house with a smile.
"Ouyang, what did you say? Have you been rehabilitated? Are you sure? Jiang Defu was pleasantly surprised, hugged his friend tightly, and slapped him heavily on the back a few times, his eyes flashing with tears.
An Xin was on the side, her face was full of happy smiles, the haze of the past seemed to have disappeared, she nodded vigorously, her eyes were full of relief.
After three rounds of drinking, laughter and laughter continued, and at this moment, the whole family was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. Ouyang Yi had tears in his eyes, unable to hide the joy in his heart. Jiang Defu patted him on the shoulder knowingly and continued to pour wine for them.
Today's festivities don't end there, there are more surprises waiting for them.
Second, the way depicts Ouyang Yi's past suffering and the joy after rehabilitation
Ouyang Yi used to be an extremely confident and self-respecting person, who regarded dignity as precious as life. However, in that turbulent era, he was ruthlessly labeled as a "rightist" and has since fallen into an endless abyss of suffering.
At first, he was still a little lucky, thinking that it was just a misunderstanding, which would soon be clarified. However, as time passed, he had to be reprimanded and criticized at public gatherings again and again, and endured all kinds of insults and abuse.
Stones were even thrown at his house, slogans were shouted "Down with the rightists", and children had to live cautiously at school.
Ouyang Yi wanted to give up many times, his self-esteem was trampled to pieces, and life became meaningless. Fortunately, his wife An Xin has always supported him silently behind him, giving him the courage and hope to survive with her tenacity and perseverance.
"As long as we grit our teeth and persevere, we will surely usher in the moment of dawn!" Whenever An Xin said this to him with firmness, but the years passed quietly, and they were still trapped in a thick predicament.
Until this day, when Jiang Defu was full of sincere respect, picked up Moutai and filled their wine glasses with his own hands, Ouyang Yi finally firmly believed that the bright moment they had been looking forward to for a long time had finally come.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Yi could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and tears burst out of his eyes. After many years of humiliation and suffering, I was finally released at this moment.
He wept bitterly, his trembling shoulders witnessing the ecstasy and endless bitterness in his heart. And Jiang Defu just silently accompanied him, giving him full freedom to enjoy this joy alone.
After this hearty crying, Ouyang Yi seemed to have unloaded all the burdens, and the whole person suddenly felt extremely relaxed. The nightmares that had plagued him for years were now fading away from him, and a bright future was beckoning him.
3. Comparison between Antai's family's visit and Jiang Defu's approach
In stark contrast to the scene full of joy of Ouyang Yi's family, Jiang Defu's cold attitude when Antai's family visited.
On that day, Antai took his wife and daughter to Songshan Island with full expectations. Their wish is extremely simple, they only hope that Jiang Defu can lend a hand and seek a position for his daughter in the army.
The family carried their luggage and came to Jiang Defu's home with a smile on their faces. Although Jiang Defu did not turn them away, he invited Lao Ding to accompany them and let them sit down for dinner.
However, what was in front of them was ordinary Fenjiu. Antai's family was puzzled, this treatment was too cold.
As Jiang Defu's confidant, Lao Ding knows their family situation well. Therefore, during the meal, he began to make some embarrassing remarks frequently.
Anjie's dishes are exquisite, but he says, "This is the first time I've tasted such a delicious dish." Mrs. Antey humbly replied, "You are so kind, enjoy yourself," but he then said, "This is the first time I've heard someone call 'you'."
Although these words are not directly accusatory, the irony contained in them is obvious. Antai's family listened to it, and their hearts were bitter.
Jiang Defu obviously had insight into the truth behind the matter, just glanced at Lao Ding lightly, and said in a low voice: "It should be the first time you say this, right?" Let's enjoy the food together! Lao Ding was willing to give up after hearing this, however, the atmosphere at the table was still full of embarrassment.
Originally, Antai was looking forward to using this opportunity to express his request to Jiang Defu, but this series of small actions made his confidence collapse in an instant and he felt extremely disappointed. They still carry their luggage, but they have lost their initial composure and self-confidence.
Fourth, the Antai family's indifference to Ouyang Yi's family in the past and the motive for this visit
In fact, the root of Jiang Defu's indifferent attitude towards the Antai family can be traced back to a grudge and hatred in the past.
Do you still remember the history when Ouyang Yi was branded as a "rightist"? At that time, in order to avoid being implicated, the Antai family chose to cut off all contact with them. In the following ten years, they never even took the initiative to visit Ouyang Yi's family, and they never even had the most basic greetings.
In this way, the whole family was forgotten in the corner and lived a difficult and difficult life.
Seeing all this, An Jie was quite dissatisfied with his brother's family's approach, and tried to persuade him, but received an indifferent response of "we can't be implicated".
Until now, the Antai family has come to visit with full expectations, and their purpose is to hope that Jiang Defu can lend a helping hand and help their daughter enter the army.
For Jiang Defu, such behavior is undoubtedly "insatiable".
An Jie had insight into the entanglement of interests and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Leaving aside the callous words and deeds of the past, this visit alone seems too hypocritical.
However, after all, it was a family, so she could only explain to Jiang Defu for the Antai family and beg him to take care of her.
Although Jiang Defu reluctantly agreed, his favor towards Antai has dropped to the freezing point. Therefore, he will play some clever tricks on the issue of receiving guests and invite Lao Ding to accompany him as a small warning to the family.
5. Jiang Defu's equal arrangement of the daughters of the two families
Although Jiang Defu was very dissatisfied with the Antai family's approach, he always maintained fairness and fairness when it came to major issues such as the future of his children.
Soon after Ouyang Yi's family left with a spring breeze on their faces, Jiang Defu immediately began to arrange for Antai's daughter to work and study in the general hospital. In return for his kindness, he simply made a few important suggestions to the family based on his own experience, hoping to change the cold attitude of the past.
For a long time, Jiang Defu has always maintained a fiery and sincere heart, and is committed to using this heart to care for his relatives. Even in the face of the Antai family, who had made him dissatisfied, he never deliberately alienated or isolated them.
However, in the trivial details of daily life, he may sometimes unconsciously reveal some personal prejudices.
However, as long as it involves major issues such as the future development of children, Jiang Defu always treats everyone equally and never takes sides. In his heart, although An Tai and Ouyang Yi had done some things that made him sad and disappointed, they were his closest people after all, brothers and sisters connected by blood.
Because of this, Jiang Defu will be careful about daily trivial matters, but he has always maintained fairness and justice in major matters related to the fate of the family. He loves every loved one deeply, even more than anything, even if there have been contradictions, and in the end, he will use practical actions to eliminate the estrangement.
After properly arranging the future of the two children, Jiang Defu's mood also relaxed and happy. Although he still has some dissatisfaction with Antai, he gradually let go of the mustard in his heart when he saw that his children had found a development path that suited him.
Relatives should be like this, supporting each other and growing together, instead of being entangled in each other's rights and wrongs.
Sixth, to summarize that family affection should be treated equally, the key lies in the embodiment of action
The so-called family affection is the deep emotion of selfless dedication and unconditional support for the family. The reason why Jiang Defu treats the Antai family and Ouyang Yi's family differently is not out of favoritism or favoritism, on the contrary, it is precisely because he deeply cherishes the bond of family affection.
Whenever Antai's family turned a blind eye to his sister Ouyang Yi's family, there would always be a strong indignation in his heart; And whenever he recalls the grievances and tribulations that Ouyang Yi has suffered over the years, he will feel gratified for his friends from the bottom of his heart.
All these seemingly different ways of dealing with him are actually a reasonable response to the behavior of his loved ones.
However, no matter when and where, Jiang Defu will make a fair and selfless choice at a critical moment. When it comes to arranging the future of his relatives and children, he does not deliberately take sides of the way, but makes careful arrangements without discrimination.
It turns out that this is family affection in the true sense! Although there may be slight differences on the outside, the core spirit on the inside is absolutely equal. It is undeniable that Jiang Defu has a deeper understanding of family affection, and he attaches more importance to the embodiment of substantive behavior, rather than hypocrisy and pretentiousness on the surface.
A person who genuinely cares about his family will surely convey their deep love with practical actions!
Family affection should be like this, innocent and sincere, selfless and fearless to give everything we can. It is in this way that Jiang Defu perfectly interprets the profound connotation of the word family affection.
