First, Liu Hongyan is an ambitious and energetic young woman who aspires to make a name for herself in the big city. In order to realize her career dream, she made a bold decision to train in the insurance business without telling her family.
Every day when she goes out early and returns late, Liu Hongyan endures the exhaustion of her body, but her heart is full of expectations for the future. Finally, her hard work paid off. Liu Hongyan became an official insurance officer, and her colleagues held a celebration party for her.
In the laughter, Liu Hongyan's eyes flashed with pride and joy. She knows that this is just the beginning, and there is still a longer way to go. Buying a house has become Liu Hongyan's next goal.
She longs to have her own little world, and she also hopes to be able to bring her mother to her hometown. To do this, she worked harder and saved money wisely. Every day after work, she carefully calculates her income and savings, and her eyes are full of hope for the future.
However, the road to pursuing your dreams has not been easy. When her mother-in-law, Wu Erhu, broke into her workplace and questioned her boss, Liu Hongyan felt both angry and aggrieved. This interference not only made her lose face in front of her colleagues, but also caused her to lose her hard-won job.
Faced with such a blow, Liu Hongyan almost divorced her husband Ni Jun. But Liu Hongyan was not defeated by setbacks. After losing her job, she quickly picked herself up and returned to her studies and work in the insurance business.
Her tenacity and indomitable spirit made her stand out from her colleagues and she quickly became an excellent underwriter. Liu Hongyan's fighting spirit and self-motivation not only made her improve in her career, but also influenced the people around her, especially her husband Ni Jun.
Little did she know, however, that her success had also brought new challenges to family relationships. Ni Jun began to feel pressure, and he was both proud and inferior to his wife's excellence. Despite all the difficulties, Liu Hongyan never gave up on her dream.
She believes that as long as she continues to work hard, she will one day be able to realize her desire to buy a house and give herself and her family a stable home. This perseverance is the key to her foothold in this challenging metropolis.
Underneath Ni Jun's seemingly peaceful appearance, there is a strong sense of vanity and deep inferiority. When he attended the celebration banquet of his wife, Liu Hongyan, the words of his colleagues lamenting the difficulty of outsiders gaining a foothold in the big city touched the most vulnerable part of his heart.
Desperate to prove his worth, he blurted out a lie: he had a house and was still working in the system. This lie has two purposes: one is to give Liu Hongyan enough face and make her the envy of her colleagues; The second is for his own face, because Liu Hongyan's work is getting better and better, Ni Jun can't make people feel that he is not worthy of her.
However, Ni Jun didn't realize that this lie might bring more pressure and embarrassment to Liu Hongyan. Ni Jun is immersed in imaginary success, proudly showing off his non-existent achievements.
Second, this behavior reflects his inner vanity and insecurity. A truly confident person is not in a hurry to prove anything to others, and Ni Jun's behavior just exposes his inner lack and inferiority.
Fate seems to be playing tricks on Ni Jun. In a restaurant, he happened to see his father, Ni Weimin, who was delivering cakes to two young people. The moment the two looked at each other, Ni Jun felt as if the world had stood still.
His heart was racing, his palms were sweaty, and countless thoughts were flashing through his mind. Eventually, he chose to remain silent and pretended not to see his father. This decision made Ni Jun suffer in his heart.
He knew he had hurt his father, but he couldn't face the embarrassment of having his lies exposed. If they recognize each other, everything he boasted about before will be exposed, and everyone will know that he not only has no house, an ordinary job, and a poor family background.
What's more, this will make Liu Hongyan very faceless in front of her colleagues. Ni Jun's actions reflect his inner contradictions and struggles. He is eager to succeed, but he is afraid to put in the effort; He wants to be recognized, but he doesn't dare to face his true self.
This contradiction eventually led him to behave timidly in family relationships and not be able to take his due responsibility. In the face of Liu Hongyan's motivation and hard work, Ni Jun was extremely passive.
Instead of fighting for his dream of buying a house with his wife, he relied on the support of his parents. When Wu Erhu promised to be responsible for the down payment on the house, Ni Jun did not show the sense of responsibility and initiative he deserved.
Ni Jun's actions made him more and more dependent on Liu Hongyan. He realized that the only person he would have to rely on in the future was Liu Hongyan. In order to keep his wife, who is better than himself, he began to please her even more, but this practice only made him appear more incompetent in Liu Hongyan's eyes.
Ni Jun's story warns us that vanity and low self-esteem can lead a person to make choices that hurt their loved ones, while a lack of responsibility and ambition can jeopardize a family's future.
Third, only by facing one's own shortcomings and striving to change can we truly win the respect and love of others. Ni Weimin is an ordinary but strong father. After retiring early, he did not choose a comfortable life, but resolutely devoted himself to the work of food delivery.
Every day when he goes out early and returns late, in the wind and rain, his figure shuttles through the streets and alleys of the city. The job is hard and trivial, but Ni Weimin never complains, because he has only one goal in mind: to save money to buy a house for his son.
He carefully concealed the job, not wanting to worry his family. The life of going out early and returning late every day made Wu Erhu think that he was wandering around outside and not doing his job. Ni Weimin silently endured his wife's misunderstanding, did not explain, and just continued to insist on his choice.
However, fate always likes to joke. When his mother-in-law was sick and hospitalized, Ni Weimin had to appear in the ward in embarrassment. The tired face and slightly embarrassed appearance surprised the whole family.
Ni Weimin lowered his head and explained his decision in a somewhat choked voice: "I want to earn more money and help Junjun buy a house." When he said this, his eyes glistened with tears, but with a hint of pride.
This seemingly weak old man has all his heart about his son's future. Life is always full of drama. When Ni Weimin was serving cakes to guests in the restaurant, he saw his son Ni Jun.
At that moment, his heart skipped half a beat, expecting his son to recognize him and give him a smile or hello. However, Ni Jun chose to remain silent and pretended not to see his father.
This scene was a huge blow to Ni Weimin. On the way home, he finally couldn't hold back his tears. He didn't understand why his son did this to him, and his heart was full of doubts and pain.
After years of hard work, in exchange for his son's indifference and ignorance, this pain made Ni Weimin feel deeply lost. Ni Weimin's story shows the greatness and forbearance of fatherly love.
Even in the face of his son's "unfilial piety", he still chooses to love and give unconditionally. His actions reflect the image of a traditional Chinese father: not good at words, but with actions that interpret love for his family.
Fourth, Ni's dedication also reflects a problem: excessive sacrifice and protection may hinder the growth of children. His kindness inadvertently deprives Ni Jun of the opportunity to face life's challenges independently, which may be one of the reasons for Ni Jun's lack of responsibility.
Ni Weimin's story reminds us that fatherly love is great, but it also requires wisdom. How to find a balance between giving and letting go, so that children can feel the love of their parents and grow independently, this is a question that every parent needs to think about.
Family conflicts are a mess in which everyone struggles. The fuse of this turmoil was Wu Erhu's interference in the work of his daughter-in-law Liu Hongyan. Out of concern for his son, Wu Erhu broke into Liu Hongyan's workplace.
With an angry face, she questioned Liu Hongyan's boss and asked for more care for her daughter-in-law. Although this move was well-intentioned, it caused Liu Hongyan huge trouble, and even caused her to lose her hard-won job.
Liu Hongyan felt angry and aggrieved, and she couldn't understand why her mother-in-law would interfere in her life like this. The conflict between the two quickly escalated, eventually causing Liu Hongyan to move out of the house angrily.
This move put the whole family in a state of tension, and everyone was cautious for fear of touching each other's sensitive nerves. Faced with such a situation, Ni Jun seemed helpless.
He didn't dare to offend his mother, and he was afraid of losing his wife. So, he chose the most negative way to cope - avoidance. He began to snub his mother Wu Erhu, hoping to curry favor with Liu Hongyan.
Far from solving the problem, this approach complicates the situation. Ni Jun's behavior highlights his weakness and irresponsibility even more. When a conflict arose between his wife and mother, he did not try to mediate, but chose to escape.
Fifth, this attitude not only does not help solve the problem, but rather deepens the gap between family members. In the end, it was Wu Erhu who took the initiative to apologize to Liu Hongyan and reluctantly resolved the crisis.
This move shows Wu Erhu's mind and wisdom as an elder. She realized that her actions had caused harm to her daughter-in-law, and chose to put down her body and take the initiative to repair the relationship.
However, the incident also exposed the deep-seated problems that exist in family relationships. Wu Erhu's excessive interference in the lives of her son and daughter-in-law reflects her mentality of being difficult to let go.
Ni Jun's evasive attitude shows that he lacks the ability to take responsibility and solve problems. Although Liu Hongyan is self-motivated, she is also too aggressive when dealing with family relationships.
This family conflict reflects the gap between generations, and the conflict between traditional family concepts and modern lifestyles. Everyone wants to be understood and respected, but they inadvertently hurt the people around them.
This reminds us that communication and understanding are essential in family relationships. Only when everyone learns to empathize and respect each other's boundaries can families be truly harmonious.
Although the crisis has been temporarily alleviated, it is also a wake-up call for the family. How to maintain family harmony while respecting everyone's independence has become a challenge that they need to face together.
In this city, buying a house is not just a dream, but also a status symbol. For Liu Hongyan, owning her own house means independence and security.
She not only longs to have a small world of her own, but also hopes to be able to take her mother who is far away from her hometown to her side. In order to achieve this goal, Liu Hongyan has made great efforts.
Six, she worked day and night, saving money carefully, and her eyes sparkled with determination. Every time she passes by a real estate agent, she stops to watch and fantasizes about her future life.
However, the reality is always cruel. Despite Liu's hard work, the rapid rise in housing prices still left her feeling overwhelmed. At this moment, her mother-in-law, Wu Erhu, suddenly expressed her willingness to be responsible for the down payment.
This news should have been gratifying, but it made Liu Hongyan feel complicated. She was grateful for her mother-in-law's kindness, but she was also worried that it would deepen her dependence on the Ni family. This ambivalence reflects Liu's independent personality and her desire for self-realization.
In contrast, Ni Jun is particularly passive in this plan to buy a house. He does not have the fighting spirit of Liu Hongyan, nor does he make substantial contributions to the future of the family.
He was more of a watcher, occasionally echoing a few words, as if this home had nothing to do with him. This attitude made Liu Hongyan feel disappointed and helpless. Liu Hongyan began to question her choice, thinking about whether she would have realized her dream of buying a house faster without Ni Jun.
But whenever this thought comes up, she feels guilty because of her sense of responsibility for her marriage. This inner struggle reflects her torn line between her personal ideals and her family responsibilities.
The seemingly simple desire to buy a house reflects the attitude and ability of everyone in this family. It becomes a mirror of everyone's inner desires and weaknesses.
Liu Hongyan's persistence and hard work, Ni Jun's passivity and dependence, and Wu Erhu's kindness and intervention all play different roles in this dream. It's not just about a piece of real estate, it's about the future of a family.
Seventh, it tests everyone's determination, ability and sense of responsibility. For Liu Hongyan, this dream is both motivation and pressure. She needed to find a balance between her personal independence and maintaining her family relationships, which was a daunting challenge.
This overprotection leads to Ni Jun's lack of independent thinking and problem-solving skills. When faced with life's challenges, he always thinks of relying on his parents or wife first, rather than trying to overcome them himself.
This dependency made it difficult for him to take on his due responsibilities in the family and made him increasingly unattractive in the eyes of his wife. Wu Erhu wanted to check his son, mainly because he was worried that he would be deceived by others.
However, she never thought that the more she protected Ni Jun, the more he would be unable to bear the burden of the family. As the main force of the whole family, Ni Jun can't bear the burden of the family, and it will only be his parents, wife and children who will be affected in the future.
Although Ni Weimin and Wu Erhu are aware of the seriousness of the problem, they have become accustomed to this model of giving and protecting. They constantly excuse their son's behavior, trying to convince themselves and the other to accept the status quo.
However, this approach will only exacerbate the problem. The family is facing a serious test: how to break this unhealthy relationship pattern so that everyone can take their share of responsibility and build a harmonious and supportive family environment together.
This requires everyone's awakening and change, and the process is bound to be full of hardships and challenges. The real love of parents for their children is not to help them make decisions in everything, but to teach them how to be independent and make them a useful person.
Only in this way can we really help Ni Jun grow up and let the family out of the predicament.
