The early morning sun shines through the gaps in the curtains and quietly sprinkles on Li Guoqiang's face. He opened his eyes and stretched his waist, his wife Wang Mei was still asleep, and the slight snoring made him smile. He got up softly, put on his slippers, and walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"Wife, get up, breakfast is ready." Li Guoqiang's voice was gentle and full of love.
Wang Mei rubbed her eyes, yawned and walked out of the bedroom, seeing the soy milk and fritters on the table, a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Old man, the breakfast you made is still so fragrant." ”
The two chatted about family life while eating, Li Guoqiang mentioned that he planned to go to the park to play chess today, and Wang Mei planned to go to the community to participate in dance activities. After the meal, Li Guoqiang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Wang Mei was busy preparing to go out.
"Remember to water the flowers, I may come back later." Wang Mei admonished.
"Don't worry, I take better care of the flowers and plants at home than you." Li Guoqiang responded with a smile.
After Wang Mei went out, Li Guoqiang began his daily routine. He first watered the flowers and plants on the balcony, then picked up the newspaper and sat on the sofa to read slowly. In the afternoon, he came to the park as promised, found his old chess friend, and the two played against each other.
"Lao Li, I heard that your son sent you money?" Chess friend Lao Zhang asked curiously.
"Yes, he said to give me some private money for my own use." Li Guoqiang replied with a smile.
"Your son is so filial, unlike the kid in my family, he knows how to ask for money." Lao Zhang said with emotion.
Li Guoqiang's heart was warm, but at the same time, he was a little confused, he didn't know why his son suddenly did this. In the evening, Wang Mei returned home, the two sat on the sofa watching TV, and Li Guoqiang told Wang Mei about it.
"My son cares about us, but we don't lack that money." Wang Mei said while knitting a sweater.
"I know, but I always felt that something was wrong." Li Guoqiang frowned.
"Don't think too much, we will receive my son's wishes." Wang Mei comforted.
The conversation between the two echoes in the cozy living room, and the moonlight outside the window spills in, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony to the home.
"Dad, Mom, I have an idea I want to discuss with you." At a family gathering, Li Ming put down the chopsticks in his hand and said in a serious tone.
Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei glanced at each other, both a little surprised. Li Guoqiang put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Ming, if you have anything, just say it." ”
"I want to give you some money every month, which is a little bit of my heart." Li Ming said.
Wang Mei's brows furrowed slightly, she was worried that this would change the balance of the family, so she asked, "Ming, we are not short of money, what are you doing?" ”
Li Guoqiang was also a little confused, he asked: "Ming, is there any difficulty at work?" ”
Li Ming shook his head and explained, "No, Dad, Mom, I'm working well." I just think that you have worked hard all your life, and now you should enjoy it, and you can use my private money freely, and you don't always have to worry about money. ”
Wang Mei was still a little hesitant, she looked at Li Guoqiang and said, "Wife, what do you think?" ”
Li Guoqiang pondered for a while and said, "Ming, we have received your wishes, but we really don't need them. We have a pension and enough to live on. ”
Li Ming insisted: "Dad, Mom, this is a little bit of my heart, you can accept it." ”
Wang Mei thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it, Ming, we accept your kindness, but we won't spend this money indiscriminately, we will use it on the blade." ”
Li Guoqiang nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can use it to improve our lives or support some meaningful activities." ”
Li Ming saw that his parents agreed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, parents, I'm relieved that you are happy." ”
Wang Mei smiled and patted Li Ming's hand: "You kid, we are happy because we have such a sensible son as you." ”
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually relaxed, and the family began to talk about other topics, but in the hearts of Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei, they had more thoughts about their son's sudden kindness.
Family dinners on weekends are always full of laughter, and Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei are busy preparing a table of good dishes. Li Ming and his wife Xiaoyun also came to the house early to help set up the dishes and chopsticks, and the family sat around the dinner table in a warm atmosphere.
"Come, try this braised fish, your dad's specialty." Wang Mei smiled and clipped a piece to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun tasted it, and her eyes lit up: "It's delicious, Dad's craftsmanship is really a must!" ”
At the dinner table, everyone talked happily. Suddenly, Xiao Yun seemed to remember something, put down her chopsticks and said, "By the way, Mom and Dad, there is something I have to confess to you." ”
Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei were a little surprised, Li Guoqiang asked: "Xiao Yun, just say something." ”
Xiao Yun glanced at Li Ming, and then said: "Actually, Li Ming gave you money in the hope that you can have more personal space and freedom, and you don't always have to worry about family chores. He thinks you've worked hard all your life and should enjoy life now. ”
Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei glanced at each other, and a warm current surged in their hearts. Wang Mei said with emotion: "This kid is really thoughtful. ”
Li Ming scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Dad, Mom, I just hope you can live more comfortably." ”
Li Guoqiang nodded, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes: "Ming, we know your intentions, and we have received your filial piety." ”
Wang Mei also added with a smile: "Yes, with children like you, we are already very satisfied. ”
Xiao Yun continued: "Moreover, Li Ming also said that if you want, you can use this money to travel and see the outside world." ”
Wang Mei's eyes lit up: "Travel? That's a good idea. ”
Li Guoqiang also smiled: "Yes, we were busy with work when we were young, and now that we are retired, we can indeed walk around." ”
The atmosphere at the dinner table became more enthusiastic, and the family began to discuss travel plans, from domestic scenic spots to foreign exotic places, everyone's faces were filled with anticipation and excited smiles.
Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei were in the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, both with contemplative expressions on their faces. Wang Mei said softly: "Wife, what do you think?" ”
Li Guoqiang sighed and said, "We can't live up to Ming'er's wishes, but we have to count how to use the money." ”
"yes, we can't make him think we're only going to use money for pleasure." Wang Mei nodded in agreement.
The two discussed it for a while and decided to use the money to the best of their ability. "We can save some of our money for a rainy day," Li said. ”
"Yes, we'll use the rest to do what we like." Wang Mei added.
The next day, Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei called Li Ming and Xiao Yun to the living room, and they decided to tell the children what they thought.
"Ming'er, Xiao Yun, we've discussed." Li Guoqiang opened his mouth with a firm tone.
Li Ming and Xiao Yun were both a little nervous, and Li Ming asked, "Dad, Mom, what have you decided?" ”
Wang Mei smiled and said, "We have decided to accept your kindness, but we want to use this money for our common interests." ”
"For example?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.
"For example, we can travel together and see the outside world." Li Guoqiang's eyes flashed with expectation.
"You can also sign up for an interest class and learn something new." Wang Mei continued.
Li Ming listened, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Dad, Mom, it's good that you are happy, this is the most important thing." ”
Xiao Yun also nodded: "As long as you like it, we fully support it." ”
Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei looked at each other and smiled, they knew that this was not only a matter of money, but also a transmission of family harmony and love.
"Then let's plan a trip first." Wang Mei said excitedly.
"Good idea, I heard that the scenery in Yunnan is good." Li Guoqiang proposed.
"Yunnan is good, the climate is pleasant, and the scenery is beautiful." Wang Mei agreed.
The family sat around the sofa and began to plan future trips and interest classes, laughter and discussion filled the living room, and the home became more warm and harmonious because of love and understanding.
The sky in Yunnan is exceptionally blue, and Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei walk hand in hand on the stone pavement of the ancient town of Lijiang, surrounded by quaint buildings and bustling tourists. Wang Mei's face was filled with a long-lost smile, she looked at Li Guoqiang and said, "Wife, look at how beautiful this scenery is, we seem to have returned to our youth." ”
Li Guoqiang held Wang Mei's hand tightly and said with emotion: "Yes, I have been busy all these years, and I have forgotten to enjoy life." Thank you so much for this trip. ”
They were picking up souvenirs in a small shop in the ancient town, and Wang Mei picked up a delicate wood carving and couldn't put it down. Seeing this, Li Guoqiang said with a smile: "If you like it, buy it, I'll treat you." ”
Wang Mei smiled and shook her head: "No, we have 'private money'." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and this tacit understanding and understanding made their relationship deeper.
After the trip, Li Guoqiang and Wang Mei returned home, and they showed Li Ming and Xiao Yun photos and souvenirs of the trip. Li Ming looked at the happiness and satisfaction on his parents' faces, and a warm current surged in his heart, and he said, "Dad, Mom, I'm also very happy to see you so happy." ”
Wang Mei responded with a smile: "Son, this trip has made us understand that family harmony is more important than anything else. We have received your wishes, but what we hope is that you can often go home to see and accompany us. ”
Li Ming nodded, tears flashing in his eyes: "Mom, you're right, I'll take more time to come back in the future." ”
Xiao Yun also echoed: "Yes, Mom and Dad, we will come back often." ”
The family sat around the living room, sharing interesting stories about their travels, and laughter and warmth filled the room. This trip not only rekindled the passion of their youth, but also made Li Ming realize the importance of family harmony. Through communication and understanding, the family found a way to balance intergenerational relationships and personal needs, and their relationship became closer and more harmonious.
