The summer sun scorched the town, and a sudden sound broke the silence of the afternoon. Uncle Zhang Pengfei accidentally fell in the yard in front of his house, and his heart-wrenching wail made people's hearts beat.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Niece Li Xiaoli hurriedly put down the work in her hand and ran to the yard to squat down to check.
The uncle frowned tightly, the pain made his face pale, and he grabbed his knee with one hand, and said with difficulty: "My old leg, if you are not careful... Uh, it hurts me! ”
"Don't move, uncle, I'll help you up, let's go to the hospital and have a look." Li Xiaoli tried to calm the panic in her heart, and she knew that it was important to stabilize her emotions at this time.
With the help of Li Xiaoli and several enthusiastic neighbors, the uncle was finally taken to the town's hospital. The diagnosis was a slight bone crack in the leg that required hospitalization.
"Xiaoli, your father is home alone, and you still have to be busy in the store, this bedside business..." The uncle's voice was worried.
"Uncle, I've arranged everything, I've discussed things in the store with my mother, and I can close it for a few days. Your good recovery is the main business at home. Li Xiaoli comforted gently.
"Hey, this kid..." The uncle looked at Li Xiaoli and was full of emotion, and was secretly moved by Li Xiaoli's filial piety and sense of responsibility.
The days in the hospital were not easy, and taking care of her uncle made Li Xiaoli truly appreciate the hardships of life and the responsibility of taking care of the elderly. Despite this, she is willing to step into this mortal world and help her uncle through the difficulties. Every day, she would carefully feed her uncle and change her dressing, and every little gesture revealed love and patience.
"Xiaoli, you've worked so hard, my old bones..." The uncle looked at Li Xiaoli distressedly, and the hard work of three meals a day made her face haggard.
"Uncle, don't say that, I can help you, and I am also sure-footed. You see, I also brought you my mother's braised pork, and I know you like this the most. Li Xiaoli said as she took out the thermos box from her bag.
Smelling the familiar fragrance, the uncle's eyes couldn't help but moisten, because of the busy work of his children for many years, he rarely enjoyed the warmth of home. At this time, this simple home-cooked meal is of great significance to him.
"Xiaoli, when my leg is healed, I have to thank you well." Uncle ate carefully while thinking about it.
"Uncle, we are a family, what are you talking about? You can take care of yourself and talk about the rest later. ”
In the dead of night, the occasional cough echoes in the corridors of the hospital, and Li Xiaoli has time to calm down and think about the future. She knew that this time with her uncle was both a test and an asset, and this experience would become an indelible memory for her life. The white walls of the hospital reflect the increasingly pale face of his uncle, Zhang Pengfei, sitting on a hospital bed and rubbing a yellowed photograph of him and his wife when they were young. Li Xiaoli walked into the ward, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Uncle, is this an aunt?" What are you thinking when you look at this photo in a daze? "
The uncle sighed, with a trace of confusion and sadness in his eyes: "Xiaoli, your aunt left because I was stubborn when I was young and always unwilling to listen to her. Now that I think about it, a lot of her advice was right, but I just went my own way. "
Li Xiaoli gently held the uncle's hand: "Uncle, people always make mistakes, the important thing is that you have realized it now." Perhaps, have a good talk with your aunt and say what is in your heart, there is still the possibility of reconciliation. "
What she saw and heard in the hospital gave Li Xiaoli more experience of life. In addition to the uncle's emotional story, she also witnessed many warm and helpless scenes in the corridor of the ward.
"Mom, Dad's hospital bed is going to be replaced, do you want to buy a seat by the window? I heard that the ward over there is better lighting and more ventilation. A middle-aged woman said to her old mother.
"Forget it, what to do with all that unjust money. Your dad doesn't really have a view out the window, either. There was helplessness in the old mother's tired voice.
Such dialogues, warm or cold, made Li Xiaoli deeply feel the diversity and complexity of society.
One day, the uncle's wife unexpectedly appeared in the hospital. She heard that her ex-husband was hospitalized, and although she hadn't seen her for many years, her inner concern made her rush to visit. Li Xiaoli saw this scene at the door, retreated a few steps, and gave them a little space.
"Zhang Pengfei, I heard that you fell and injured yourself. How's this leg? The uncle's wife tried to appear cold, but her tone revealed concern.
The uncle looked at this woman who had experienced wind and rain together, and replied with a little embarrassment: "It's okay, but I can't walk." I didn't expect you to come and see me. "
The conversation between the two seemed to rekindle the emotions of those years, and Li Xiaoli was secretly happy for her uncle on the sidelines, knowing that this might be the beginning of the repair of the relationship between the two.
Among the families of other patients, Li Xiaoli also found resonance. She often spoke to a young woman who also came to look after her family. The two share their worries and support each other.
"Xiaoli, when will it be Tianqing's turn, I watched my son get injections every day, and my heart hurt like being pricked by needles." Young woman with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, it's always sunny after the rain. You see, we're not alone here, at least we can encourage each other. Li Xiaoli stretched out her hand and gave the other party a comforting hug.
In these days of treatment and waiting, Li Xiaoli has witnessed too many bits and pieces of life. The care in the hospital room, the conversations in the hallway, the nostalgia of the elderly, and the empathy between the family members are all quietly changing her worldview and values. With the discharge of Uncle Zhang Pengfei from the hospital, Li Xiaoli gradually returned to her former rhythm of life. She started to take care of her home and shop again, busy and fulfilling. Xiao Yun, the younger sister who just became a college student, also returned to a peaceful campus life. Everything seemed to be slowly improving, until that sunny afternoon, Li Xiaoli's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, Xiaoli, I'm the second uncle. Do you have time to come over for a moment? There's something at home that I want to talk to you about. The second uncle's voice sounded a little heavy.
"Okay, second uncle, I'll go over now." Li Xiaoli felt a hint of foreboding, thinking that this sudden call must not be a trivial matter.
When she arrived at the second uncle's house, Li Xiaoli saw that the second uncle's face was grim, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually increased. "Second uncle, why is it so serious?" Li Xiaoli asked cautiously.
"Xiaoli, the uncle's fall was actually not simple. In fact, some people in the family were dissatisfied with his distribution of the family's land, and they were afraid that he would be partial when he was old, so they just..." The second uncle wanted to speak and stopped, obviously encountering the pain points of the family.
Li Xiaoli was shocked by the intrigue behind this, and never thought that there would be such a secret dispute hidden under the warm family relationship.
She asked, "So... Does the uncle know about this now? What should we do? "
The second uncle sighed and continued: "I haven't told him yet, after all, he has just been discharged from the hospital, and his body has not fully recovered. Xiaoli, as a young generation, how should you solve this matter? "
"Second uncle, I think we should sit down as a family and have a good talk, spread out the problem, and can't let this kind of thing happen again." Although Li Xiaoli is young, she is thoughtful and mature in dealing with problems.
The second uncle nodded, his eyes revealing a bit of anticipation and uneasiness. "Well, then I'll listen to you, let's find a time to gather everyone."
In the days that followed, Li Xiaoli helped her second uncle contact relatives and arrange a family meeting. On that day, the elders and juniors of the family gathered in the old house of the uncle's family. The uncle was ignorant and at a loss, but Li Xiaoli mustered up the courage and stood in front of everyone, holding a land inheritance plan in her hand.
She spoke: "Dear family, we are gathered today for our family and our harmony. Each of us loves this land, and we all hope that the family will be harmonious, and we will not want any misunderstandings and disputes again. "
"Xiaoli is right, we should all calm down and have a good talk. After all, home and everything is prosperous, right? The uncle whispered to the side, and everyone's eyes turned to him, with different expressions on their faces.
Li Xiaoli handed the uncle the plan for land inheritance, and then said: "We can't let selfish desires and misunderstandings destroy our family relationship. This plan was discussed between me and my second uncle, hoping to balance everyone's interests and satisfy everyone. "
The family members who attended the meeting were all lost in thought, and the air was full of tension and anticipation. The future of this family has become the focus of everyone's attention at this moment. After that family meeting, the conversation between Li Xiaoli and the second uncle became a turning point. After intense and frank discussions, the family members finally agreed to Li Xiaoli's land inheritance plan. Everyone was impressed by the wisdom and courage of this young girl.
"Xiaoli, if it weren't for you, our family might have broken up." Uncle said excitedly, "For so many years, our family has been able to live in harmony, and today I realized that you helped so much behind the scenes." "
"Uncle, family unity is the most important thing. Whatever happens, we have to work together so that we can find a solution that is fair to everyone. Li Xiaoli responded, her eyes were firm and she looked extraordinarily mature.
In the days that followed, Uncle Zhang Pengfei would look for an opportunity to make up for his relationship with his family, and he would get together with the young people in the family to tell the bits and pieces of his youth, as well as his feelings for the family and the land. These young people are more open-minded, and they are beginning to re-evaluate the traditional concept of property inheritance and explore a fairer and more reasonable way of inheritance.
"Xiaoli, do you think we should also make some rules for the inheritance of property in the village? Like our family, lest future generations not be confused. The second uncle stroked his beard and asked.
Li Xiaoli nodded in agreement: "What the second uncle said makes sense, I think we can help the village formulate a more modern and fair inheritance plan based on our family's experience." This brings peace of mind to everyone. "
So, in the following days, Li Xiaoli and Erbo devoted themselves to this new mission, reforming traditional thinking and guiding the villagers to face up to the problem of inheritance. They often met to discuss and consult with professional lawyers, and finally worked out a set of property distribution and inheritance mechanisms that were generally welcomed by the villagers.
"Xiaoli, I didn't expect you to help not only our family, but also the whole village, you are the one who wants to achieve great things." The old people of the village praised.
Li Xiaoli also had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't expect that she just wanted to solve her own problems, but it might change the traditional concept of the entire village.
The story ends with an intimate dinner, where the family members sit around a table, laughing and laughing, closer than ever. Satisfaction and happiness were written all over everyone's faces.
And Li Xiaoli, a young girl who was once unknown, used her kindness and wisdom to bring reconciliation to the family and progress to the village.
In the dead of night, Li Xiaoli stood in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, and she silently thought in her heart: "Can this world really become better because of our efforts?" ”
