I felt a mess and my hands and feet were cold. Will Xiaoxiao cheat? No, it can't be, she's not that kind of person. I must have thought wrong, this must be some kind of misunderstanding.
I went home, pretended everything was normal, and had dinner with Xiaoxiao. After the meal, I took her prenatal examination report and walked towards her, my voice trembling slightly: "Xiaoxiao, this..."What's going on?
Xiaoxiao's face was pale, and when she looked at the report, tears slipped down instantly. "Zhang Xin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! She choked up. My heart hurt so much that it almost broke, and it turned out to be true.
Xiaoxiao is really pregnant, and the child is not mine. Fighting back my anger, I asked her, "Whose is it?" What's going on? ”
For the next few days, I was so miserable that I chose to take a vacation home and spend the day immersed in self-depression and irritability. I can't believe Xiaoxiao would do such a thing, and although she has apologized, I still can't accept this reality.
A few days later, Xiaoxiao plucked up the courage to talk to me. I watched her quietly, filled with mixed emotions. Of course, I also regretted that I didn't give her enough company at that time, which led her to seek solace outside; But my self-esteem prevented me from forgiving her right away.
I'm sorry Zhang Xin, I really know I was wrong. Before, our life was too dull, you were always busy, and I felt very lonely when I was out of town on a business trip, so I made a mistake.
But I really never wanted to leave you, and I regret it so much now! Xiaoxiao cried so much that she couldn't cry. Xiaoxiao nodded with red eyes, although she felt sad, she understood my feelings.
In the days that followed, I was always depressed and couldn't concentrate during the day. My colleagues saw that I was preoccupied, but I didn't want to talk to anyone about it.
When I came home after eating alone at night, I looked at the empty room, and a sense of helplessness arose in my heart. After a week, I began to realize that delaying time in this way would not solve the problem, and it was better to think about how to deal with this difficulty.
So, I decided to talk to my parents. I told them the whole thing. When my mother heard this, she immediately showed a worried expression: "Son, I know that this is a big blow to you.
But people are not sages, they will always make mistakes, and you should learn to be tolerant of Xiaoxiao. Dad nodded and agreed: "Your mother is right, Xiaoxiao is your wife after all, and your relationship is already very deep, so it's worth you to give her a chance."
And this child is born, and he should also be treated well. After listening to my parents' persuasion, I fell into deep thought. Indeed, although Xiaoxiao made mistakes, she has always been good to me, and I can't give up our relationship because of a mistake.
I decided to forgive her and let's start over.
One night, I called Xiaoxiao ** and asked her to come over. Xiaoxiao sat down nervously, not knowing what I told her to do. When Xiaoxiao heard this, tears couldn't help but fall: "Zhang Xin, thank you!"
I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, and I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you, and it's good for the kids! I was also moved by her sincerity and burst into tears. Since then, Xiaoxiao has been more considerate and caring for me, and I have also re-examined myself and cared more for her.
Five years later, our family of three is happy, and our daughter Zhang Xin is four years old. Whenever I see her innocent smile, I think back to that experience and thank it for making our relationship stronger.
When Zhang Xin was four years old, Li Xu suddenly returned to China. He went to the United States to develop his career and never contacted Xiaoxiao. Now that he has a successful career, he returns to China to meet his old lover and the daughter he gave birth to.
When he visited suddenly, Xiaoxiao's face was pale and at a loss. I was silent for a moment before politely inviting him to sit down. He said straight to the point: "When I returned to China this time, I mainly wanted to see my daughter, and I also wanted to catch up with Xiaoxiao." ”
Xiaoxiao bowed her head and was silent. I took a deep breath and said, "Her surname is Zhang now, and it doesn't change that you are her biological father, but I will raise her." If you want to see her, you can come and see her, but it can't affect her life. ”
He pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, it was indeed me who was wrong at the beginning, and if I could, I still hope to see my daughter more." ”
I looked at Xiaoxiao, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes. I could feel her inner struggle, remembering the vows we had made, so I spoke: "Let Zhang Xin decide this matter by herself, I still need time to get used to it, and you shouldn't show up too often." ”
Li Xu also seemed to understand what I meant, and he nodded to show respect for my choice. I shook my head slightly, "I'm fine, after a long time, I will be relieved a lot."
People always have to look forward, and now I only think about the future. Xiaoxiao looked at me gratefully, her eyes full of guilt and distress.
In the days that followed, Xiaoxiao and I focused on work, parenting, and life, and occasionally Li Xu would come to visit Zhang Xin, but only to observe her playing from afar. Zhang Xin is lively by nature, and we all strive to create a happy environment for her to grow up.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xin had already gone to elementary school and gradually began to understand things. One day when she came home from school, she looked at us seriously and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to know my other dad."
Although he was sorry for you guys before, I wanted to get to know him. Xiaoxiao and I glanced at each other, and our eyes were red. Xiaoxiao hugged her and said, "Okay, as long as you're happy."
We've got your back. I also nodded, my daughter has grown up, and she should learn to choose for herself. Life cannot escape the past forever, and only by facing it can we get true liberation.
Since then, Zhang Xin has occasionally met with Li Xu. We no longer deliberately avoid this topic, and Li Xu is also very good to Xiaoxiao. The pain of the past has gradually faded with the passage of time, and my relationship with Xiaoxiao has become closer.
There will always be many unsatisfactory things in life, but as long as we can face them with a tolerant attitude, there are still opportunities. I finally understood this truth. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xin was already in high school.
She has a cheerful and lively personality, has good grades, and is the captain of the school's cheerleading team. Xiaoxiao and I are both approaching the age of 50, and we are gradually becoming more comfortable at work.
Zhang Xin happily told us: "Mom, Dad, I have a boyfriend!" He is the captain of our school's basketball team and is super nice! Xiaoxiao and I couldn't help but look at each other, smiled and said, "Falling in love so soon?"
Who is the other party? When will you bring him home and show us? "His name is Li Yang, and he is a classmate in our math class. He has excellent grades and a very good personality.
I brought him to my house this weekend. Zhang Xin said with a slightly flushed face. On the weekend, Li Yang came to our house as promised. He is handsome and well-behaved. The four of us talked and laughed very well, and Xiaoxiao and I were also very satisfied with him.
Watching our children grow up, we also grow old under the baptism of the years. I stroked Xiaoxiao's jet-black hair, but I didn't notice that it was dyed white. We sat with each other in our arms, our fingers clasped, and even though time was rushing, this relationship remained the same.
Later, Zhang Xin successfully entered the university. We dropped her off at the dorm to say goodbye to her new classmates. "Mom and Dad, I'm going to miss you! Rest assured, I'll take care of myself. Zhang Xin hugged us tightly, tears shining in her eyes.
We stood at the school gate, watching her back in the distance, and our hearts were full of blessings for her. I gently took Xiaoxiao's hand and said with emotion: "Our daughter has grown up, it's time for her to learn to live independently."
Xiaoxiao responded with a smile: "I know that this child does not belong to us after all, and she needs to learn to face the world independently." I nodded, although the paths of life will be separated, love will always be with us.
In the four years of college, Zhang Xin spent it smoothly, and his relationship with Wang Chen became deeper and deeper. Approaching graduation, Wang Chen proposed to Zhang Xin, and Zhang Xin readily accepted. They plan to start their new life with a wedding after graduation.
Looking at my daughter's happy smile, Xiaoxiao and I looked at each other and smiled, tears of joy flashing in our eyes. Those past misunderstandings and pains have become insignificant. Although Zhang Xin and Wang Chen's wedding was lively but not luxurious, we also participated.
Seeing our daughter smiling so happily on stage in a white wedding dress, Xiaoxiao and I couldn't help but shed tears of relief. After the wedding, Zhang Xin took Wang Chen's hand and walked in front of us.
Mom and Dad, thank you for all these years of parenting. I will live a happy life with Wang Chen! "Son, we are very happy that you are married. Remember to come home and see us often. Xiaoxiao hugged her daughter and said.
I excitedly hugged Zhang Xin and Wang Chen, who had become new members of our family. Li Xu also attended the wedding, and although he was much older, he finally fulfilled his duties as a father.
After the wedding, Zhang Xin and Wang Chen went to Europe for a month's honeymoon trip, and then returned to China to buy a house in Dongcheng and start their newlywed life. Despite their busy schedules, they would take time out of their week to come back to our house for a meal.
Are you sure? That's great! Xiaoxiao hugged her daughter excitedly, and I smiled and celebrated with her. We are about to become grandparents, and it feels fresh and happy.
In the following days, we accompanied Zhang Xin to prepare for pregnancy, and then accompanied her throughout the whole process during childbirth. She successfully gave birth to a lovely baby boy, named Zhang Moran.
Three generations sat around, Zhang Xin hugged the child and said to us: "I will pass on your nurturing grace and let Mo Ran feel the warmth of home." "Looking at our grown daughter and newborn grandson, Xiaoxiao and I couldn't help but feel emotional.
We have walked through this long and twisted journey together, through countless ups and downs, but finally ushered in a happy ending. I clasped Xiaoxiao's hand and whispered, "All along, thank you for your understanding and tolerance of me, which has brought us to where we are today."
We repaired the scar with two hearts in exchange for all this. Xiaoxiao had tears in her eyes and nodded: "You gave me the courage to start over." Let's always cherish what we have now. ”
I kissed her lightly on the forehead. The journey of life is full of imperfections, but as long as we learn to be tolerant, there is hope. This is the best fruit of life.
Looking at the happy scene of my daughter's family of three, Xiaoxiao and I were extremely relieved. We're getting older, we've worked all our lives, and it's time to think about retirement.
One day, the company organized a collective retirement ceremony for our senior employees. On the stage, the chairman praised our contribution to the company, and everyone applauded and celebrated. Xiaoxiao and I were also full of tears, proud of the spiritual wealth we left behind.
After retiring, we decided to go to Hainan Island and buy a small villa to start our retirement life. There is a big yard at the back of the villa, where you can plant some flowers and plants, and raise a cat and dog.
After working for so many years, it's time to enjoy life with you. I said to Xiaoxiao with a smile. She nodded happily and put her arm around me. Sure enough, life after retirement is comfortable and comfortable.
Xiaoxiao's relationship with me has also become warmer and warmer, we will go to the supermarket to buy groceries, plant flowers and read books, and lean on the balcony at night to chat and drink tea. Occasionally, Zhang Xin's family will come to visit us, and they will bring their lovely grandchildren, and our lives are rich and fulfilling.
One day, we received an invitation to the wedding from an old colleague. I said with emotion: "We also had a happy wedding back then, and now the children are all grown up." ”
Yes, we're getting old in a blink of an eye, but I'm glad I've made it this far. Xiaoxiao smiled. I squeezed her hand and nodded. Life is a long road, we walk hand in hand all the way, we have experienced ups and downs and experienced sweetness, which is the most precious gift of life.
I am deeply grateful to God for allowing me to meet Xiaoxiao, a bosom mate, who is still the same heart when our heads are covered with gray hair. A few years later, we celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Zhang Xin and Wang Chen brought their children and their whole family to celebrate for us, and our small villa was very lively for a while. "Thank you for supporting each other all your life, and for boiling these 50 years of good tea with sincerity and tolerance.
Zhang Xin said emotionally. Xiaoxiao and I looked at each other and smiled and hugged each other gently. In this life, we have experienced many peaks and turns, and we have also learned tolerance and gratitude. The journey of life, with you by your side, there is no longer loneliness.
The sun rises and sets, time passes quickly, and the river of life flows endlessly. But as long as there is love in the heart, the years will never be wasted. This is the common understanding that Xiaoxiao and I have along the way.
May there be lovers in the world who will eventually become married, and boil that pot of faint happiness wine with warmth.
