Li Guoqiang looked out the window and sighed, just hung up his daughter's **.
The daughter said that she has been too busy with work recently, and she has to go on a business trip for a month, so she can't come home. This is the third month in a row that she has not returned to visit him and his wife.
Li Guoqiang was helpless. As a parent, he certainly understands that his daughter is busy with work. But as an elderly person, the real feeling is inevitably a little lost - the children are older, but they don't have so much time and energy to spend with their parents.
The difference is that his daughter-in-law Ah Zhen has always taken care of the two elders. Especially after the death of Li Guoqiang's wife, Ah Zhen cherished Li Guoqiang even more, for fear that something would happen to this lonely old man.
When Li Guoqiang was shaking his head, Ah Zhen had already handed him his clothes and hats, telling him that the weather had become cold recently, and that he should not catch a cold when he went out.
Li Guoqiang took the clothes, thinking that Ah Zhen's filial piety was in his eyes. In addition to taking care of the family, Ah Zhen will also send home-made delicacies from time to time and cook a few dishes for him to taste.
Although my daughter has been busy all these years, she has also tried her best to support her parents financially. However, the spiritual comfort is not as good as the meticulous care of the daughter-in-law. Li Guoqiang thought with emotion.
After a lot of lunch, wake up on the chaise longue. Presbyopia's eyes are a little out of focus, which makes it easy for him to fall into a state of confusion between squinting up and down.
At this time, Ah Zhen's concerned voice came from not far away: "Dad, don't move yet, I'll help you up." Be careful not to stumble over the corners of the carpet. ”
What do you say!Ah Zhen hurriedly waved her hand, "You are old, your body bones are not very neat, you can't do heavy work, I have nothing to do, let me do it." Li Guoqiang nodded, and a warmth rose in his heart.
Since my daughter has been working, except for occasionally going home for a meal, she has basically no time to take care of the elderly. Thinking of this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but sigh: "My daughter is older, and she always doesn't have so much time to spend with her parents. The more I live, the more I look back, and the older I get, the more I want to be with my family.
Hearing the words "I want to be with my family", Ah Zhen's face was covered with a shadow. She forced a smiling face, turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare fruit for Li Guoqiang.
At this time, Li Guoqiang's mobile phone rang. It turned out that my daughter called, saying that the business had come to an end recently, and the work was easier, so I was going to go home for two days next week.
Li Guoqiang was very happy after listening to it. He happily said to Ah Zhen: "Our girl said that she will be back next week!."I miss her so much!After saying that, he continued to chat happily with his daughter.
At this time, it was raining outside the window again, and Ah Zhen looked at the stirring raindrops on the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze, and the expression on her face became a little complicated.
It turned out that the frequent contact between Li Guoqiang and his daughter these days made Ah Zhen a little stunned. She also wished her parents would receive such care, but they have been dead for years.
Over the years, Li Guoqiang's family has made Ah Zhen feel the warmth of home again, and the lack of the original family has also made her a little envious and empty.
However, Ah Zhen did not mention this to anyone. She just worked harder to take care of her father-in-law, hoping to make up for some regrets through her filial piety.
Just as Ah Zhen was about to leave, Li Guoqiang suddenly realized that he might have said the wrong thing and hurt her just now.
Ah Zhen, don't be sad. From now on, I will be your relative, and I will take the position of your parents!”
When Ah Zhen heard this, tears quickly appeared in her eyes. She hugged Li Guoqiang and sobbed softly, and Li Guoqiang also cried bitterly.
At this moment, the estranged family bond was re-established through the old man. Li Guoqiang understands that no matter what, relatives must always cherish the present and live in the present.
