Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, and I haven't been home for my mother's birthday in years. The last time I went back was when I graduated from college, when I was in my early twenties, and now I'm middle-aged.
The stress of work and the trivialities of life made me almost forget about my family. But tomorrow, I decided that I wanted to go back and surprise my mother. I drove home from out of town.
When I walked into the house, I saw my mother busy at home. When she saw me, she said excitedly, "Child, why are you back?".It's so unexpected!I smiled and said, "I'll surprise you, right?"Tomorrow is your birthday, and I specially asked for leave to come back to spend it with you. ”
When my mother heard my words, she smiled with relief, she held my hand tightly, and said with emotion, "I am so lucky that you have grown up so much and can come back for me."
I looked at my mother's kind smile, and my heart was filled with warmth. The next day, I cooked with my mother at home. While her mother was busy, she said, "You have to pay more attention to your body and eat more."
I've worked so hard all these years, I feel sorry for you. I quickly comforted my mother and said, "I'm fine, but I'm a little busy with work." Rest assured, I will take good care of myself. My mother nodded, looked at me and said, "It's not easy, at such an age, you have to struggle outside alone." ”
We chatted and prepared dinner. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and found a strange man standing in the doorway, he looked at me and said, "You are ......."I was stunned, he seemed to know me.
Hearing this, the mother came over and looked at the man, her face full of surprise: "Xiao Liu, it's you!."How could it be here?"It turned out that this strange man was my classmate in junior high school, Xiao Liu, who worked in his mother's colleague unit.
Mother warmly invited Xiao Liu to stay and have dinner with us. I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Xiao Liu has always been very good to me, we grew up together, and he cares about me very much. But I had different feelings about him, and we've always been friends.
Halfway through dinner, my mother looked at me and Xiao Liu and said, "You have such a good relationship after two hours, why have you become so rusty now?"Xiao Liu looked at me and seemed a little embarrassed.
The mother said, "Why don't you two talk about it, I'll go out and get busy." With that, the mother left. Xiao Liu and I looked at each other awkwardly, as if we were back in junior high school.
This awkward atmosphere made me a little overwhelmed. Taking advantage of his mother's absence, Xiao Liu said, "How have you been doing all these years, are you okay?"I dealt with it casually, and we talked for a while, and the conversation gradually turned to work and life.
Before you know it, night falls. I looked out the window and realized that it was getting late. I said goodbye to Xiao Liu: "I won't bother you anymore, I'll go back first." Xiao Liu sent me out, he looked back at me and said, "I've been staying here for a few days, if you have time, you can go out for a walk together."
I nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll contact you when I get a chance." Xiao Liu waved at me and left. When I got home, my mother asked me, "Is Xiao Liu gone?"
He has always been very good to you, and you have to cherish it. "I looked at my mother with some mixed feelings. When I went home this time, I originally wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn't expect that I would fall into an unexpected predicament.
I returned to my room, filled with my mother's teachings and Xiao Liu's smile. I grabbed my phone and wanted to talk to my college friend Xiaoxue and talk to me.
Xiaoxue has always been my closest roommate, and we have always maintained a strong friendship. She took the **, and after listening to me talk about what happened just now, she comforted me and said: "Maybe this is the arrangement of fate, you can meet again, it may be a special fate arranged by God." "I was a little more relieved when I heard this.
A few days later, I was helping my mother prepare for her birthday party when Liu sent me a text message asking if I was free to go for a walk together. I looked at my schedule and saw nothing else for the day, so I gladly agreed.
We chose a park and walked hand in hand on the road. Xiao Liu cared about me as always, asking if there was pressure in life and whether work was going well. I was a little distraught and didn't know how to respond.
Suddenly, a fashionably dressed lady walked over and saw Xiao Liu, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She said to Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, why are you here?".Xiao Liu explained: "This is my friend, we take a walk together. The lady smiled slightly, nodded to me, and then started talking to Xiao Liu.
I stood aside, a little distracted, watching the smooth conversation between Xiao Liu and the lady. For some reason, a faint bitterness surged in my heart, as if there was a trace of indescribable emotion quietly spreading.
I immediately understood that this was not jealousy, but a fear and helplessness that came from within. My relationship with Xiao Liu has always been friends, and I used to have some good feelings for him, but I don't have the courage, maybe I'm not the person in his heart. Seeing the closeness of Xiao Liu and this lady, I began to feel a little at a loss.
When I got home, my mother was keenly aware of my strangeness, and she nervously asked, "Is there something that bothers you?"I shook my head, smiled again, and said, "Maybe it's some work stress that makes me a little anxious."
My mother comforted me and whispered, "Don't take it too seriously, everything will be fine." "In the dead of night, I lay alone in bed, staring at the ceiling and contemplating.
A series of troubles and troubles made me physically and mentally exhausted. It dawned on me that I no longer seemed to be the carefree, expectant young man I was. My mother's love, Xiao Liu's presence, and my deep struggles and confusion all made me feel exhausted.
On this confused night, I lay in bed, closed my eyes, and although I was in the comfort of the bed, there was a faint coolness surging in my heart. All the strife and troubles seemed to be tangled into a fog that I could not break free from, and I felt suffocated.
Behind all this, there seems to be more reality that I don't want to touch. I came home feeling a little confused. My mother's eyes were full of anticipation, as if she had foreseen my relationship with Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu and I have always been just confidants, and I don't know how my mother could have such a delusion so quickly. I'll just put that on the back burner for now.
The next morning, the mother talked about Xiao Liu again. She looked at me and said, "Xiao Liu is a very good young man, he has a stable job and a good personality, you two should get along more."
I smiled slightly awkwardly and didn't respond. The mother continued: "His parents are also very concerned about you, and every time I go to his house, his mother asks about you. "My heart sank slightly, Xiao Liu's parents are relatives I have known since I was a child, they have always been very friendly to me, and I respect them very much.
But now, my mother's words make me a little embarrassed. My mother looked at me and continued, "You think about it seriously, marriage is the most important thing for the family. I listened, not knowing what to say. It seems that I still can't escape this question for a while.
My mother has been enthusiastic about matching me with Xiao Liu recently, and she has repeatedly praised Xiao Liu in front of me, saying that he is dedicated to his work, noble character, and wealthy family. Although I was a little bored inside, I could only force a smile every time.
I didn't want to disappoint my mother, but I also felt helpless about it. In such an embarrassing atmosphere, I met Xiao Liu again. Let's go for a walk in a nearby park.
Xiao Liu cared for me, chatting with me along the way, and smiling at me from time to time. I could only barely laugh, but I couldn't calm down. We found a bench to sit down, and Xiao Liu suddenly stopped, looked at me seriously, and said, "Don't you like me?"
I was speechless for a moment, and then denied: "No, I just think it's a bit sudden, I'm not ready." Xiao Liu stared at me and said, "I have always regarded you as my best friend, and I don't want to affect our friendship because of this."
A warm current welled up in my heart, staring into Xiao Liu's gaze, and I understood that he was here to help me relieve my stress. I smiled slightly and whispered, "Thank you, Xiao Liu."
I really hope that our friendship will last forever. Xiao Liu also smiled, he patted my hand gently, and we walked out of the park together.
When I got home, my mother looked at me and asked, "What's going on between the two of you?"I shook my head and said, "We're just friends, we won't have any other relationship." Mother looked at me and didn't say anything more.
I understand that my mother is a little lonely, but I don't think it's wrong. I want to build on my own pace and not want to be distracted by the outside world.
However, my mother's expectations made me feel a lot of pressure. This time I came back, with the intention of giving my mother an unexpected joy, but now I am caught in such an entanglement. I don't know how to deal with my loved ones next, how to strike a balance between emotion and affection.
When I got home, my mother asked me with concern, "Has Xiao Liu been here?"He has always taken good care of you, and you have to cherish this relationship. "I looked at my mother and felt a little conflicted.
When I went home this time, I wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn't expect that I fell into an unexpected trouble. Listening to my mother's urging, I decided to confide in her.
We sat down face to face, and I told my mother about my troubles, and after hearing this, my mother smiled and said, "Son, there are always various challenges in life, and there are some things that we need to deal with calmly. Xiao Liu has always been very good to you, and he is also a good boy who is down-to-earth and responsible. ”
After listening to my mother's words, my heart was still full of confusion and struggle. In the next few days, Xiao Liu has been paying attention to my every move and caring for me. He invited me out more than once and even took me to an unexpected movie, which brought me warmth and dependence that I didn't expect.
However, deep down, this complex emotion left me feeling overwhelmed. I began to examine my own feelings and began to understand my mother's expectations and concerns.
In the dead of night, I confessed my heart to my mother, "Mother, I'm really confused, and I'm very entangled in Xiao Liu's feelings. I know that Xiao Liu is very good to me, but I am not sure of my feelings yet.
My mother gently stroked my hair and gently reminded, "Baby, love doesn't happen overnight. If you really like him, try to get to know him, and you may have unexpected surprises.
So, I decided to go out with Xiao Liu, we talked, walked the streets, and his care and companionship made me feel warm. I started thinking about how I felt and what I expected of him. My mother at home no longer pushes me to make decisions, she silently supports me and gives me enough time and space.
As time passed, I gradually opened my mind and sincerely got along with Xiao Liu. We get to know each other and gradually enter each other's inner world. This time of companionship and running-in made me re-examine my feelings and life, and gradually accepted Xiao Liu.
However, although I gradually accepted Xiao Liu, my mother was well aware of the complexity and difficulty of this relationship. She always let go and silently prayed for me. I am both distressed and grateful for all this, and I understand my mother's expectation and tolerance, and I have begun to cherish the understanding and love with my family.
However, this kind of complicated thoughts also left me troubled and entangled. I was confused about my relationship with Xiao Liu, and I had no idea what to do about my future.
No matter what the future holds, the feeling and confusion at this moment have given me a new understanding of family and love, and I have a deeper understanding of the tolerance and support of my family. My mind is still fluctuating, and I look forward to finding my own answers in the days to come.
My mother looked at me intently, patted my hand gently, and asked, "Son, is there anything that makes you so distracted?"I shook my head, smiled and said, "It's nothing, just feeling a little tired."
I'll go take a shower and relax first. With that, I quickly walked into the room. Sitting on the bed, I turned on my phone and looked at the presence of *** he left by Xiao Liu, which reminded me of the past.
We were such close friends, he cared about me and quietly supported me when I was in trouble. But do I have a special affection for him?Or is it just a camaraderie between friends?I'm a little confused.
When I was lying in bed, I picked up my mobile phone to browse my mother's circle of friends, and a ** came into view. **, the mother and a man named Li Yang are smiling and very intimate.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised because my mother had never mentioned this person to me. I was filled with curiosity about this strange man. When I woke up the next morning, I found my mother already up and busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
I walked into the kitchen, looked at my mother's busy figure, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, you were very happy with Li Yang last night, who is he?"Mother heard it.
He was slightly stunned, and then showed a hint of an embarrassed smile and said, "Oh, Li Yang is an old colleague of mine, he just came back recently, and we happened to meet after dinner last night, so we chatted for a while."
I glanced at my mother, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy. Although my mother's face looked calm, I felt something unusual. I didn't ask, just casually answered, and went to wash up and get ready for work.
On the way back to the field, I kept thinking about these questions. Xiao Liu, Li Yang, and all kinds of disputes and questions in the family are intertwined into a mess of thoughts. I feel a little at a loss as to how to face and resolve these contradictions.
However, I can only resign myself to fate. My mother's words and deeds are often elusive, maybe she has her own unspeakable secrets, and I shouldn't be suspicious of her.
For Xiao Liu and Li Yang, I need to sort out my emotions well. I don't want to get caught up in more distractions and troubles when I take another crucial step in my life. Perhaps, the only thing that works is to calm down, be more considerate of others, and give more understanding and acceptance.
At the very least, I can try to find my place in this family and resolve my inner strife. It seems like it's just getting started, and I need to take on more challenges ahead.
