In the spring of May, the sun shines through the mist and casts on the busy streets. Zhang Mei and her fiancé Liu Qiang are busy preparing for their big day - the wedding. Today they are going to visit the new house that will be their wedding home.
Walking on the road to the new house, Zhang Mei was a little excited in her heart, and it was inevitable that she was a little apprehensive, after all, this would be the nest of love between her and Liu Qiang. "Qiangqiang, how did you say our wedding room was decorated?" Zhang Mei took Liu Qiang's hand and asked curiously.
Liu Qiang replied with a smile: "It should be almost, my mother said yesterday that she wanted to surprise us." The two talked and laughed, not only fantasizing about their future lives, but also full of anticipation for the upcoming wedding.
Pushing open the door of the wedding room, it should have been a neat and fresh scene, but suddenly her eyes lit up, and Zhang Mei was stunned. It turned out that there were two sleeping figures lying inside - Liu Qiang's younger brother Liu Hao and girlfriend Li Qing.
"Haohao! Why are you here? Zhang Mei was so surprised that she almost screamed.
Liu Hao opened his eyes in a daze, and Li Qing also sat up in panic, obviously woken up. "Sister, I'm sorry, Qingqing and I watched a movie late last night, just... Just..."
"Just sleeping here?!" Zhang Mei's voice raised slightly, and the expression on her face was complicated, with both dissatisfaction and helplessness.
Liu Qiang also frowned at this time, "How can this be done, this is our wedding room, how can you..."
"Brother, I'm really sorry, it was too late last night, and we have nowhere else to go." Liu Hao hurriedly explained, looking indeed a little embarrassed.
"Forget it, forget it, get up, we still have to prepare for the wedding today." Zhang Mei took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Liu Hao and Li Qing hurriedly cleaned up and left the wedding room in embarrassment. Zhang Mei sat on the edge of the bed, and suddenly felt mixed feelings in her heart. The bed in front of her, which originally represented the beginning of a new life in her heart, could not help but make her a little confused.
Liu Qiang sat next to Zhang Mei and said softly: "Meimei, don't think too much, this is just a small episode, and our lives will not change because of this." ”
Zhang Mei smiled faintly, but couldn't help asking, "Are we really ready to get married?" ”
Liu Qiang held her hand tightly, "Of course, I love you, no matter what difficulties, we will face them together." ”
They sat on the future marriage bed, their eyes were firm, and although their love for each other had undergone a small test, it also made them cherish the person in front of them even more. At this moment, this little episode also made Zhang Mei realize that marriage is not only romantic and sweet, but also about facing the challenges of reality. The days passed quietly like flowing water, and the wedding date approached day by day. Zhang Mei has always been haunted by the accident that happened in the marriage room, and her heart is full of doubts, and she can't help but wonder if the traditional concept of the Liu family attaches as much importance to this marriage as she imagined.
One evening, Zhang Mei sat on the sofa at home, looking through the wedding plan, and she asked Liu Qiang softly: "You say, is it really important for your family that we get married?" ”
Liu Qiang put down the magazine in his hand and looked at Zhang Mei seriously: "Of course it's important, you are the person I chose, and my mother and father also like you very much." ”
Zhang Mei sighed: "But when I found out about your brother and his girlfriend in the marriage room that day, I was thinking, if our marriage is really that important, why did this happen?" ”
Liu Qiang approached Zhang Mei and held her hand gently: "It was just an accident, Haohao is just not sensible yet, I will talk to him well." ”
Despite Liu Qiang's efforts to comfort her, the doubts in Zhang Mei's heart still did not completely dissipate. With the passage of time, Liu Hao and Li Qing's "marriage room incident" has become a topic that the Liu family avoids talking about at the dinner table. But the undercurrent didn't stay hidden for long.
One night, at the dinner at Liu's house, the family atmosphere was extremely tense. Father Liu saw the strangeness of the atmosphere and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Liu Qiang looked at Zhang Mei embarrassedly, Zhang Mei nodded, and motioned for Liu Qiang to tell the truth. Liu Qiang plucked up the courage and told Liu Hao the truth about the marriage room.
Father Liu's face changed, "This wedding room is for you Qiang Qiang and Mei Mei, how can Haohao..."
Liu Hao hurriedly defended: "Dad, I know I'm wrong, and I promise I won't in the future." ”
Li Qing also bowed his head and remained silent, looking very ashamed. Zhang Mei took this opportunity to express her worries frankly: "Uncle, I don't mean to blame Haohao and Qingqing, it's just that the events of that day made me feel some family strangeness. ”
Father Liu sighed: "Meimei, you are a sensible child, it was indeed our negligence that day." It's that we don't do our best. Then Liu's father turned his head to look at Liu Hao and Liu Qiang, "This incident should be a wake-up call for all of us, family rules and traditions cannot be lost, but they can't be too stiff." ”
The atmosphere at the table slowly eased. On this night, Liu Hao was also reminded by his father that he should respect the feelings of his future sister-in-law, and Liu Qiang sought a balance between the family's traditional concept and love. Li Qing was silent and said softly: "Sister Zhang, I'm sorry, it was really us who was wrong that day. ”
Although this conversation at the dinner table was full of difficulties and embarrassment, it also opened an opening for the emotional conflict of this family. Zhang Mei and Liu Qiang also learned more about how to deal with family relationships in married life through this dialogue. The Liu family, on the other hand, began to slowly accept the ideas of the younger generation, thus promoting intergenerational understanding and communication. The time came on the eve of Zhang Mei and Liu Qiang's wedding, and the family held an emergency meeting. It seems that the previous communication has not calmed down the fluctuations in the family, and Liu Hao sat in front of the elders, looking extremely firm.
"I don't understand why we can't accept new ideas." Liu Hao was the first to break the silence.
Father Liu frowned, and according to the traditional concept of the family, he said: "The rules that our family has followed for generations cannot be easily broken, this is related to the face of our Liu family. ”
Zhang Mei watched the competition between the father and son, and knew that this dispute could not be solved simply. She bit her lip, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly stood up and came up with a bold idea.
"Since we all want family harmony, why don't we do this......" Zhang Mei's voice was full of firmness and wisdom.
The whole family turned to Zhang Mei and waited for her plan. She took a deep breath and proposed, "Can we hold a simple engagement ceremony for Hao Hao and Qing Qing at the wedding?" This shows that our family not only values tradition, but is also open to new things. ”
The elders of the Liu family looked at each other, looking a little surprised. Father Liu frowned and thought for a moment, and finally slowly spoke: "Your proposal is not impossible, but it also reflects the bearing of the big family." ”
Liu Qiang held Zhang Mei's hand, his eyes full of gratitude. He asked his father, "Dad, do you think this is okay?" ”
Father Liu looked at Liu Hao and Li Qing and asked, "Haohao, Qingqing, are you two willing?" ”
Liu Hao and Li Qing glanced at each other and nodded at the same time, "We are willing." ”
Li Qing gently held Liu Hao's arm and said to Zhang Mei gratefully: "Sister Zhang, thank you, you are really understanding." ”
Father Liu sighed, and finally relieved: "Since everyone agrees, then it's decided." Tomorrow's wedding, our family will have two happy events to celebrate. ”
A warm and reassuring laugh rang out in the room. Through Zhang Mei's suggestion, not only the family conflict was resolved, but also the relationship between Liu Hao and Li Qing was officially recognized by the family.
This decision dispelled the chill like a touch of warm sun, adding a deeper warmth to this winter wedding. Zhang Mei and Liu Qiang, who have experienced several twists and turns, are now able to work together to move towards the palace of happiness with the understanding and support of their families. On a sunny day, Zhang Mei and Liu Qiang's wedding was held as scheduled, and the two tied the knot with the blessings of relatives and friends. The wedding scene was elegantly and warmly decorated, filled with a happy atmosphere.
At the climax of the wedding, Zhang Mei and Liu Qiang walked onto the stage hand in hand and read the vows to everyone present. Father Liu stood aside, his eyes slightly red. His voice was full of pride and satisfaction, "Today, I not only gave away a daughter, but also got a son. ”
Then, the wedding host announced a program that no one expected-Liu Hao and Li Qing's engagement ceremony.
The guests whispered in surprise, but they were quickly replaced by applause of happiness and blessings. Liu Hao and Li Qing exchanged engagement rings in full view. At this moment, every member of the family was touched by this true feeling.
After the wedding, guests raise their glasses to the celebration. Liu Qiang gently raised his wine glass and smiled at Zhang Mei: "Meimei, we finally did it." ”
Zhang Mei smiled back gently: "Yes, after so many twists and turns, today we have finally become a real family." She turned her head to look at Liu Hao and Li Qing, who were circling among the guests, and said with emotion: "Isn't our wedding today the best proof?" ”
Father Liu walked over, patted the couple on the shoulder, and muttered, "Yes, young people's ideas do have their own unique ideas, and our generation must also learn to listen and adapt." ”
In the afterglow of the wedding banquet, Zhang Mei, Liu Qiang, Liu Hao and Li Qing toasted in the moonlight, and their smiles converged into the most beautiful scenery. The old rules of the family are softened in continuous communication and understanding, and new pages are slowly opened, and the stories belonging to the younger generation are constantly being written in the Liu family.
All this can't help but make people think: seeking a balance between persistence and change may be the right answer to family harmony and progress, right?
