My name is Li Xiufen, I am forty-five years old, and I am a woman who has experienced a marriage. When I was young, I was a beauty, and there were many people who pursued me. But as fate would have it, my first husband left early, leaving me and a daughter. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, my daughter is also older, and she is very smart. In my heart, I also want to find another companion.
In this way, I was introduced to Zhang Laohan. He was a native of the countryside, three out of sixty, but he seemed to be in good spirits. He has a small orchard and a decent annual income. We got along for a while and felt that we were suitable for each other, so we decided to hold hands for the rest of our lives.
On the day of my wedding, Mr. Zhang gave me a surprise. He handed me a red envelope, and when I opened it, it turned out to be 800,000! In my heart, I was both surprised and puzzled, this old man, is there something hidden from me?
At night, when the cave room was spent on candle nights, I couldn't help but ask him: "Lao Zhang, is there something wrong with you giving me so much money?" ”
Zhang Laohan smiled and said, "Xiufen, I have to confess to you about this." The 800,000 yuan is what I plan to use to marry my son's daughter-in-law. But I think that at our age, we should find someone who can take care of each other. I thought about it, this money is for you, let's run the orchard well, and we can live a more comfortable life in the future. ”
Hearing him say this, the big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I smiled and replied, "You old man, you really know how to calculate." However, I promise you, let's run this family well. ”
However, the good days didn't take long for the conflict to come. Daniel Zhang, the son of Zhang Laohan, learned that his father gave me the money for marrying his daughter-in-law, and he was so angry that he ran back to make a big fuss. He pointed at my nose and scolded: "You vixen, you cheated my dad out of all his money!" ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect this young man to be so unreasonable. Zhang Laohan was also anxious, picked up the broom and was about to hit Daniel Zhang: "You bastard, Xiufen is your mother!" Get the hell out of here! ”
This is a lot of fun, and the neighbors are all coming to see the excitement. Seeing this, Daniel Zhang simply sat on the ground and cried and shouted, saying that we were bullying him. I looked at this situation with mixed feelings.
At this time, my daughter Xiaofang stood up, and she said to Daniel Zhang: "Brother, I know you are uncomfortable, but my father is also doing this for his own happiness." As children, we should respect their choices. As for the money, we can work together to earn it back. ”
Xiao Fang's words made Daniel Zhang stunned. He wiped away his tears, glared at me, and turned away. Zhang Laohan sighed, I don't feel good in my heart. Whether this family can be harmonious or beautiful, I don't know in my heart.
However, life has to go on. I discussed with Zhang Laohan and decided to let Xiaofang and Daniel Zhang run the orchard together. Daniel Zhang did not object to this. As a family, we started the road to common prosperity.
After a lot of hard work, the orchard's business is getting better and better. Daniel Zhang also slowly understood the bitterness of me and Zhang Laohan and began to respect me. And I also treat Zhang Laohan's son as my own son.
Today, although there have been conflicts and contradictions in our family, we have finally moved towards harmony. I guess that's life. No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we work together, we can always get through them.
As the days passed, the fruits in the orchard gradually matured, and Daniel Zhang and Xiaofang became more and more tacit, studying planting techniques and discussing business strategies together. Zhang Laohan saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and often after dinner, he took me to the orchard for a walk, looking at the fruits hanging on the branches, and his face was full of satisfied smiles.
One day, Zhang Laohan suddenly said to me: "Xiufen, you see, these fruits are like our children, from flowering to fruiting, they need our careful care." Isn't it the same with our family? ”
I looked at his ravine-ravine face, a warm current surged in my heart, and I nodded and replied: "Yes, Lao Zhang, these fruits are our hope and our future." ”
While we were enjoying the tranquility, rumors came from the village. It turned out that someone said behind my back that the good luck of our family was all because of the 800,000 I brought. These words reached Daniel Zhang's ears, and his face became gloomy.
One night, when Daniel Zhang came home drunk, he glared at me and said, "Li Xiufen, do you think I owe you?" Do you think I'm taking advantage of you? ”
My heart tightened, and I knew that he had a pimple in his heart again. I tried to say as calmly as possible: "Daniel Zhang, this money was given by your father, and our family is working hard for this family, and no one takes advantage of anyone." ”
Daniel Zhang sneered: "Work hard? Do you know how hard I worked? Do you know how tired I am? ”
I was about to say something, Zhang Laohan came over and said seriously: "Daniel Zhang, you are drunk, go and rest first." If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Daniel Zhang glared at his father, then staggered back to the room.
The next day, after Daniel Zhang woke up, I decided to have a good talk with him. I found him and said, "Daniel Zhang, I know you are uncomfortable, but we are all a family, and if there are any difficulties, we will face them together." ”
Daniel Zhang bowed his head and was silent for a while, and then said, "I just think, why can you all be forgiven, but I have to bear so much." ”
I sighed and said softly, "Daniel Zhang, everyone will have pressure and difficulties. But you can't take your anger out on your family, we have to work together to make this family better. ”
After a long talk, Daniel Zhang finally untied the knot in his heart, and his eyes were a little more firm: "Mom, I understand." In the future, I will work harder to make our family better. ”
I smiled reassuringly and held his hand tightly. This family, although it has gone through twists and turns, is still firmly on the road to happiness after all. We are a family, hand in hand, to meet the challenges of the future together.
As time passed, the orchard's business became more and more prosperous, and the marriage of Daniel Zhang and Xiaofang was also put on the agenda. Mr. Zhang and I discussed holding a decent wedding for our children, after all, this is the top priority of the family.
One day, I was helping in the orchard, and Zhang Laohan came to me excitedly: "Xiufen, I have an idea, how about we hold a wedding in the orchard?" It's both cost-effective and unique, don't you think? ”
I was amused by his sudden proposal: "Lao Zhang, what new tricks are you going to do?" However, it is quite creative to hold a wedding in an orchard. ”
Zhang Laohan smiled proudly: "Then I will arrange it, you are responsible for decorating the scene and giving the children an unforgettable wedding." ”
On the day of the wedding, the orchard was lit up with lights and beaming. Friends and relatives came to congratulate them, and neighbors from the village came to help. Daniel Zhang and Xiaofang stood under the blossoming fruit trees, their faces full of happy smiles.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Zhang Laohan said excitedly: "Today is the big day of my son Daniel Zhang and daughter-in-law Xiaofang, thank you all for coming to their wedding." This orchard is the brainchild of our family, and I find it especially meaningful to be able to witness their happiness in such a place. ”
I looked at the couple and felt a lot of emotion in my heart. This home, through many ups and downs, finally ushered in this sweet moment.
In the evening, after the wedding banquet, Daniel Zhang and Xiaofang came to me and Zhang Laohan and bowed deeply: "Dad, Mom, thank you for holding such an unforgettable wedding for us." ”
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Laohan patted Daniel Zhang's shoulder: "Son, your happiness is our greatest wish." ”
At that moment, I understood that the harmony and happiness of this family did not come from money, but from the dedication and understanding of each of us.
However, life is always full of surprises. Just when we thought everything was going well, a sudden gale blew most of the fruit off the orchard. As a family, we stood in the wind, looking at the fruit all over the ground, and our hearts were full of loss.
Daniel Zhang gritted his teeth and was the first to stand up: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will work hard to earn back the loss." ”
Xiao Fang also clenched her fists: "Yes, we can't be defeated by this setback." ”
Zhang Laohan patted us on the shoulder and said firmly: "Children, with you here, this family will not fall." Together, we will be able to get through this. ”
In this way, our family began a new struggle. During the day, we were busy in the orchard together, repairing damaged facilities and taking care of the remaining fruit trees; In the evening, we sat together to discuss how to improve our business strategies and prevent similar accidents from happening again.
During those days, although it was hard, our hearts were full of hope. Because we know that as long as we are united, nothing will defeat us.
Finally, with the joint efforts of the whole family, the orchard gradually regained its former vitality. Our family has also become more united and cherished each other more in this setback. And all this has become the most precious treasure in our hearts.
As the days passed, the orchard gradually came back to life thanks to the joint efforts of the whole family. Daniel Zhang and Xiaofang's child was also born during this period, bringing more joy to the family.
One day, I was basking in the sun in the yard, Xiaofang came over with the child in her arms and said with a smile: "Mom, you see, how fast the baby grows, he is about to smile." ”
I took the child and gently stroked his tender little face, and my heart was warm. I turned to Xiao Fang and said, "Xiao Fang, you also have to pay attention to your body, don't be too tired." ”
Xiaofang smiled and nodded: "Mom, I know." The same goes for you, don't work too hard. ”
At this time, Daniel Zhang came back from the orchard and saw us, and a smile appeared on his face: "Dad, Mom, Xiaofang, you are all here." Today's work in the orchard is almost over, and I'm going to go to town to buy some fertilizer. ”
Zhang Laohan came over and patted Daniel Zhang on the shoulder: "Son, I have worked hard for you." Go ahead, be careful on the road. ”
Daniel Zhang nodded, turned around and walked out the door. I looked at his back, relieved and a little worried. Although this family has experienced a lot of difficulties, with our joint efforts, it is getting better and better.
However, life is always full of uncertainties. That night, Daniel Zhang came back from the town with a somewhat heavy face: "Dad, Mom, I heard news in the town today that the fruit on our side may be reduced in price." ”
I frowned: "Price reduction? Why? ”
Daniel Zhang sighed: "It is said that there are too many fruits in the market recently, and the supply exceeds demand, so the price may drop." ”
Zhang Laohan pondered for a while and said, "Then we have to think of a way not to let the fruit fall in our hands." ”
So, our family began to discuss countermeasures. In the end, it was decided to speed up the sales of the fruit on the one hand, and find new sales channels on the other hand. While it will take more effort, we believe that if we work together, we can always find a solution.
During those days, our family was even busier. During the day, we run around looking for buyers; In the evening, we sat around and discussed our next steps. Although it is hard, our hearts are getting closer and stronger.
Finally, with our joint efforts, the fruit was successfully sold, and even made a small profit. We sat around as a family and celebrated our victory. At that moment, I understood that as long as we are united, no difficulty can bring us down.
Nowadays, our lives are getting better and better. The business of the orchard is also becoming more and more prosperous, and our family is becoming more and more harmonious. I know that all of this is inseparable from the dedication and understanding of each and every one of us. Although this family has experienced many difficulties, with our joint efforts, we have finally ushered in happiness.
I guess that's life. No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we work together, we can always get through them. And this home is our greatest happiness.
