I'm Zhang Xiaoyu, an ordinary girl living in a modern city. I am the only daughter in my family, and I have been pampered since I was a child. In order for me to live with peace of mind, my parents bought me a house early and planned to live with me when I got married as an adult. However, this vision is complicated by the proliferation of family members.
All the contradictions come from the news that I am about to enter the palace of marriage. My fiancé and I, Chen Ming, have been in love for many years and are in a very stable relationship. We agreed that we would still live in my current house after we got married, and my parents were supportive. However, the problem was with my future in-laws.
Chen Ming's parents are a very traditional old couple. They felt that their son should live with them when he got married, not with me. This has strained our family relationships. Although Chen Ming has been coordinating, the two sides have never been able to reach an agreement.
At a family gathering, my mom and dad firmly stated that they had prepared a house for me and hoped that Chen Ming and I could start a new life there. This made Chen Ming's parents a little dissatisfied, they thought that we had a house with my parents, why didn't they have it? My in-laws' remarks made me feel very embarrassed and made me realize the seriousness of the problem.
Back at home, Chen Ming and I talked about it. He was also very embarrassed and felt that his parents should be respected, but at the same time he wanted to be able to live with me. We were caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. This question became a problem before our wedding, and it made me wonder if our future would be blurred by it.
After Chen Ming listened to my troubles, he was silent for a while. Eventually, he whispered, "I'll communicate well with my parents so that they understand our thoughts." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, after all, it was difficult for him to face the pressure from both sides.
Soon after, Chen Ming found an opportunity to explain our thoughts to his parents in detail. He told them that we understand their expectations, but at the same time want to be able to have their own independent living space. Chen Ming's mother was silent for a while, and then said, "We can understand your thoughts, but we also want to be with you and take care of you with our own hands. ”
When I heard these words, I felt a warmth in my heart. After all, Chen Ming's parents also had such expectations out of love for us. However, this problem is not so easy to solve.
When my parents learned about Chen's parents' thoughts, they started looking for a solution for us. Eventually, they came up with a proposal that seemed satisfactory to both parties: we could live with Chen's parents, but we would have to pay rent.
After hearing this, Chen Ming and I were both a little surprised. My parents explained that this would satisfy Chen's parents' wishes and allow us to maintain our independence. Moreover, the way we pay rent can also make us feel dignified and not seen as a "soft eater".
After listening to this suggestion, Chen Ming's parents also said that they could accept it. They feel that they can stay with us and maintain their independence. So, we decided to live together and start a new life.
The day I moved into my new home, I felt an inexplicable sense of excitement and nervousness. It was the first time I lived with Chen's parents, and I didn't know what would change. However, I also know that as long as we understand each other and respect each other, we can get through this.
We had a great time every day in our new home. I also got along with Chen's parents, who often helped me cook and teach me to do housework. Although sometimes there are little awkwardness over small things, overall, our lives are still very harmonious.
One evening, we were sitting in the living room as a family chatting. Chen Ming's parents suddenly said to me, "Xiaoyu, we are very happy to be with you, you should be our daughter." ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be moved to tears. This sentence made me feel a kind of warmth of home, and also made me full of hope for the future.
In this family, I learned to be more tolerant and understanding. I learned that family is not built by blood, but by mutual love and tolerance. I am grateful to my parents and Chen Ming's parents, because of you, my life has become so beautiful.
Our lives seem to be on a good track, but fate quietly changes our lives one day.
That night, Chen Ming and I were watching TV in the living room when we suddenly heard a cry for help from outside. We hurriedly ran to the window and looked out, only to see that the first floor of a building not far away was on fire. My heart tightened, and I immediately picked up the phone to call the police, and rushed out with Chen Ming.
The fire spread quickly and people at the scene fled for their lives, however, there were still some people trapped in the flames. Chen Ming and I saw an old woman trapped in a window, and she was anxiously calling for help. Without saying a word, we rushed forward to get her out.
However, the fire was too big for us to get close. Watching my grandmother get more and more trapped, I felt a pang of despair. At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly rushed over, took off his coat to shield himself from the flames, and then hugged the old woman out.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be moved to tears. Although Chen Ming was slightly injured, the grandmother was safe. We rushed her to the hospital and left our contact details.
Back home, Chen Ming and I were a little tired, but our hearts were filled with a sense of satisfaction. Although we did only a small thing, we saved an elderly man from danger. This feeling of helping others makes me feel that my life is full of meaning.
A few days later, we received a letter from the grandmother's family. They expressed their gratitude to us and invited us to their home. Chen Ming and I gladly accepted the invitation because we knew that it was an affirmation and gratitude for our good deeds.
We were warmly welcomed at the grandmother's house. They prepared hearty meals and gave us a taste of home. In the process of chatting with them, I learned that the grandmother's name is Grandma Li, and she is a lonely old man who usually lives alone. This fire almost killed her, but fortunately we helped in time.
Grandma Li's family said to us: "You are our nobles, if you hadn't rescued us in time, my Grandma Li would probably not be there." Hearing this, I felt an inexplicable touch. In this society, sometimes a small gesture can make a big difference.
After dinner, we said goodbye to Grandma Li's family and returned to our home. Looking back on all this, I feel like my life has become more fulfilling. In this family, there is not only the love of loved ones, but also the gratitude and recognition of strangers. It made me even more determined about my purpose in life, which is to do my part to make this world a better place.
Life seems to have returned to peace, but an unexpected piece of news shatters that peace again.
One day, I received a strange phone call, and the voice on the other end of the phone shocked me: "Hello, I am the sales manager of XX Real Estate Company, and I would like to talk to you about the house you live in now." ”
I was shocked and wondered how they knew my phone number. I asked, "How did you know my phone number?" ”
The person on the other end of the line smiled and said, "We have your family's contact information, and they left it for us." ”
My heart sank, could it be my parents? But I didn't dare to make up my mind right away, so I calmly asked, "Is there anything you need to discuss with me?" ”
The man continued: "We found out that the house you live in now is a project of our company, through whom did you buy it? We now have a new project and if you are interested, we can offer you more favorable terms. ”
When I heard this, I felt a pang of annoyance. How can the house that my parents bought for me be a project of XX Real Estate Company? I calmly said, "I'm sorry, I don't need your help and I'm not going to buy a new house. ”
The man seemed a little unwilling and tried to continue to persuade me, but I immediately hung up.
I wondered why XX Real Estate Company would call me? Is it because my parents are making a name for themselves behind their backs? I decided to ask them about it.
When I mentioned the call to my parents, they seemed a little embarrassed. I asked, "Mom and Dad, why are you giving my phone number to XX Real Estate?" Do you have any plans? ”
My mom and dad exchanged a look, and then my dad said, "Xiaoyu, we actually want to surprise you." We heard that XX Real Estate has a new project in a good location and the house is beautiful, so we left them your contact details. ”
I was speechless for a while, did they want me and Chen Ming to move to a place of their choice? I said with some anger: "Mom and Dad, don't you know that Chen Ming and I have our own plans? We don't need you to make decisions for us anymore. ”
My parents were a little embarrassed when they heard me. My mother hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, we just want to give you a better living environment, you and Chen Ming can think about it." ”
I felt a sense of grievance in my heart, and of course I appreciated the kindness of my parents, but they always tried to interfere in my life and made me feel very unfree. I said coldly: "Chen Ming and I already have our own plans, and I don't need you to interfere in our lives anymore." ”
When my parents heard this, they looked a little lost, but they also knew my character and didn't dare to continue. I felt a little unbearable, after all, they also did this out of kindness to me.
This conflict made the relationship between me and my parents strain again. I know they're doing it out of the good of me, but I also want them to respect my choices and not always try to interfere in my life.
A few days later, the atmosphere between me and my parents was still a little awkward. They seem to be aware of their fault, but they don't know how to fix it. I didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so I decided to take the initiative to communicate with them and express my thoughts.
One weekend afternoon, my parents and I sat in the living room drinking tea. I said, "Mom and Dad, I know you're doing this out of kindness to me, but I want you to respect my choice." Chen Ming and I already have our own life plans, and we don't need your interference anymore. ”
My mother listened to my words, her expression was a little complicated, and she said: "Xiaoyu, do you know, we actually hope to give you a better living environment, we don't want to interfere with your choice. ”
I understood what my mother meant, but I insisted, "I know your good intentions, but Chen Ming and I have our own plans, and I hope you can respect our choice." ”
Dad looked at my mom, then sighed and said, "Xiaoyu, mom and dad just hope you can live a little better, we don't mean anything else." ”
I looked into my parents' eyes and felt a warmth in my heart. They sometimes make me feel unfree, but their kindness is genuine. I took a deep breath and said, "Mom and Dad, I know your kindness, and I thank you for your continued care for me. But I hope you can trust me that I will take responsibility for my choices. ”
My parents listened to me and smiled. I know they've finally accepted my choice, and that's incredibly gratifying.
Since then, my relationship with my parents has become more harmonious. They also stopped trying to interfere in my life and began to respect my choices. I also cherish the time I spend with them even more, because I know that their love is selfless and a strength that I have always relied on.
Chen Ming is also very pleased with the relationship between me and my parents. He said: "Xiaoyu, although your parents sometimes make us feel unfree, their kindness is sincere. We should be grateful for their love and should cherish the time we spend with them. ”
I nodded, my heart filled with gratitude. I know that no matter what happens in the future, I will face it with Chen Ming, because we love each other and have each other's support. And my parents will always be my strong support, so that I can move forward firmly no matter what stage of my life.
