My name is Li Xiaolin and I am an ordinary senior in college. One day, I couldn't help but quarrel with my boyfriend Lan Zhihao, and the reason for the quarrel turned out to be that I spent a little time playing with my mobile phone to take care of my 7-year-old brother!Unexpectedly, this little thing turned out to be a tipping point.
After the quarrel, Lan Zhihao spoke coldly to me, which made me feel at a loss. I wrote him a letter of apology overnight, hoping that he would forgive me, but he didn't respond. As the days passed, I became more and more anxious, not knowing how to deal with this boyfriend who had suddenly become a stranger.
After a week, I finally mustered up the courage to talk to him to figure out what was going on between us. He coldly told me that he met a girl who was two years younger than me, they had common interests, and that the girl was very patient and willing to play games with him and chat with him. I was stunned, tears streaming down my face. I asked him, isn't my companionship and care enough?He just said lightly, "You always have to take care of your brother, I don't like that." ”
When I heard this, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning. I can't believe he really said such a thing. I told him that my brother was my responsibility and at the same time my happiness, and that there was no conflict between them. But Lan Zhihao said with a firm face, "I don't want to be with a woman who is disturbed all day long." His words pierced my heart like an awl, and I finally understood that he had changed.
When I got home, I told my parents about Lan Zhihao and my breakup. Dad looked a little silent, but Mom said, "It's okay, the sooner you separate, the better for your future happiness." "I was stunned, I didn't expect my mother to say that, I thought she would be sad and angry for me. Dad whispered: "You have been a sensible child since you were a child, your brother needs your company, that boy can't understand your family situation, maybe it's right to separate." After listening to my father's words, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I didn't expect that my parents would be so calm about the emotional problems between me and Lan Zhihao.
My mother hugged me and said softly: "Xiaolin, life will not be smooth sailing, experiencing some setbacks and pains, and growing up will make you stronger." All you have to do now is take good care of your brother, and we will always have your back. Dad took my hand and said, "Mom is right, you are our pride and your brother's role model." You are the closest brothers and sisters, and you need to support each other and bring more warmth to each other. ”
Listening to my parents' words, I felt a warm current welling up in my heart. Their support and understanding is my greatest strength. I decided to let go of the emotional baggage of the past and take care of my brother wholeheartedly, so that he can feel the love of his sister.
As the days went by, my brother and I became closer, and we cared for and inspired each other. My persistence and hard work are beginning to pay off. I had a good career in my job and was hired by a well-known company.
It is only today that I understand that the steadfastness and support of my parents gave me the confidence to move forward. I am full of hope for life and full of expectations for the future.
After some time, I met a colleague in the company whose surname was Zhang Minglei. He is a sunny and cheerful person who always brings a lot of smiles to my face. Slowly, we began to get to know each other and gradually developed a special affection.
However, just when I thought I could have love and happiness again, an unexpected paradox happened. One night, I came home again, ready to have dinner with my brother. But the moment I opened the door, I heard the sound of my parents arguing fiercely because of my relationship with Zhang Lei.
I walked into the living room and saw my parents arguing loudly at my brother with red faces. I hurriedly stepped forward to try to reassure, but I heard this conversation:
Xiaolin, how can you get so close to a stranger, have you forgotten our family's responsibilities?Father asked angrily.
Dad, Zhang Lei and I are just ordinary colleagues, and we don't go beyond the boundaries of friends. I hurriedly explained.
Hmph, don't forget to lie!Do you think I didn't know you guys had started dating?You know the family tradition, you should find a man who is good to you and has the ability to take care of you!The mother exclaimed angrily.
I couldn't accept my family's accusations against me, and I wanted to explain, but they didn't listen to me. The younger brother stood by crying, watching the scene at a loss.
Finally I couldn't stand the cynicism, and I couldn't help but shout loudly, "You all listen to me!".Zhang Lei is just my friend, I didn't date him. I haven't forgotten my family responsibilities, I'm just dealing with my personal life!Don't you want me to be able to live happily ever after?Why can't you give me a little understanding and support!”
After hearing my words, my father showed a hesitant expression, and he muttered to himself: "Maybe we are too strict with you, you work so hard to take care of your family, but we only see your responsibilities and obligations, and ignore your happiness. ”
The mother also gradually calmed down, and she sighed softly: "Child, maybe we are really wrong. We always want you to be better, but in the process, we ignore your feelings and needs. ”
Watching them gradually understand my inner grievances, I felt a sense of relief. The quarrels between my family stemmed from their concern for me, and although the way was a bit excessive, they all wanted me to be better. I also understand that they want me to find someone who is good to me and can take care of me, and they are not asking me to give up my own happiness.
So, I took my brother's hand and said firmly, "Mom and Dad, I know what you expect from me, and I hope to find someone to spend my life with." But at the same time, I want you to trust me, in my judgment and in my abilities. Let's get through this together and understand and support each other. ”
The parents looked at each other and nodded. A smile of understanding and tolerance gradually appeared on their faces. My brother hugged my leg and stopped crying. At this moment, I know that the affection of family is irreplaceable, and no matter what happens, we will support each other and face it together.
Soon after, I received a letter of apology from Lan Zhihao. He said he realized his mistake, regretted his decision and wanted to start over. Looking at his sincere apology, I fell into a conflict. Although I still love him, the pain of the past has made me fear and distrust him.
I gave the letter to my parents and sought their advice. Both Mom and Dad said it was my choice and they would respect my decision. "Whatever you choose, we'll support you, but remember that what happened in the past won't be erased," Dad said. My mother patted me on the shoulder and said, "We just want you to think about it and think about your own happiness." ”
In the following days, I weighed the pros and cons repeatedly, and finally decided to give Lan Zhihao a chance. We are back together, but the shadows remain ethereal. Whenever we recall the pain of the past, a trace of gloom arises in our hearts.
In such an atmosphere, I felt the concern and anxiety of my family. They always support me silently and express their love and hope for me with their actions. Watching them worry about me filled my heart with guilt.
It was at this time that my younger brother accidentally fell and injured his leg while playing. In order to take care of his younger brother, his parents had to ignore their own work and devote themselves to their younger brother's **. I watched them take care of my brother without regrets, and my heart was filled with gratitude. At the same time, I decided to share part of the burden with them.
I took the initiative to take on the responsibility of household chores and taking care of my younger brother. Every day after school, I will arrange some time to spend with my younger brother to learn Xi and play. Although it was a bit hard, seeing my brother's smile and my parents' reassurance, I felt that everything was worth it.
However, the contradiction reappeared at this time. Because of the long hours of taking care of my younger brother, I began to neglect my academic and personal development. The decline in grades and the drifting away of friends left me feeling depressed and lonely. All this put me in a dilemma.
At a family gathering, my parents sensed my confusion and conflict. They pulled me to sit down, and my father said, "Xiaolin, we appreciate your dedication to your brother, but you can't ignore your own growth." "Family responsibilities are important, but you also have to learn to balance family and personal development. ”
Their words made me pause. I learned that I can't just give for my family, but also take responsibility for my future. I decided to re-plan my time and goals and try to balance my family and school.
After a period of adjustment, I gradually found a balance. I restarted my studies and maintained a good academic Xi, and at the same time, my relationship with Lan Zhihao gradually stabilized. We have had many wonderful times together and have worked hard to build a healthier and more trusting relationship.
I understand that family disputes and conflicts are inevitable, but how to deal with them requires our own wisdom and courage. My growth is inseparable from the support and understanding of my family, and I am also inseparable from my courage to face contradictions and difficulties.
After a while, I unexpectedly received a ** from Lan Zhihao, and he asked to see me. Although the hurt in my heart was still a little gone, out of curiosity and a little nostalgia for the past, I agreed to his request.
We met in a quiet café. After sitting down face-to-face, he apologized to me first, admitting that he had done something wrong and did not cherish the relationship between us. I was silent for a moment and told him that we had broken up and that I had found my way again.
However, at this time, I received a ** from my younger brother saying that he had been bullied at school. I was so anxious that I immediately told Lan Zhihao about the situation and hoped that he could help. Lan Zhihao looked hesitant, and he said, "Xiaolin, I missed the opportunity to accompany you before, and now may be the time for me to make amends." ”
I sensed uncertainty in his tone, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, he is no longer my closest person, can I trust his promises?
However, the situation was urgent, and I had no better choice. We rushed to school, and sure enough, I saw my younger brother being bullied by a group of classmates, and I hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. When the children who bullied my younger brother saw me and Lan Zhihao coming together, they immediately showed frightened expressions. Lan Zhihao stood up and warned them not to mess with my brother again, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
The group of children apologized and left, leaving the three of us alone on the empty playground. At this time, I felt Lan Zhihao's seriousness and concern, and the uneasiness in my heart began to dissipate.
When I got home, my younger brother snuggled up to me and felt the warmth and security of home. I know deep down that family affection is not an easy substitute.
That night, Lan Zhihao and I sat on a park bench. I told him that even if my brother wasn't there, I wouldn't change myself for anyone's sake. Between us, there is no longer any possibility.
Lan Zhihao was silent for a moment and whispered, "Xiaolin, I understand. I also used to mistakenly think that I could take your brother's place in your heart, but I was wrong. You are a brave and kind sister who needs your company and care. ”
I smiled and nodded, grateful for his understanding and understanding. While we can't go back in time, I believe that this experience has made us all more mature and stronger.
Since then, I have focused on my work and my brother's growth. I strive to create a carefree childhood for my younger brother and accompany him through every stage of his growth.
I don't look for love anymore because I understand that true family and affection are the most important things in my life. No matter what challenges and difficulties the future brings, I believe that with the support of my parents and younger brother, I will be able to move forward.
And now, my brother and I stand together at a new beginning in life, waiting for every day to come.
