Lin Xiao, a retired employee of a well-known company who lives in an old residential building in Beijing, recalls the past years with a heavy heart. He has two children, son Lin Hao and daughter Lin Yue. Fifteen years ago, he made a decision about his children, but that decision is now a lifelong regret.
Back then, Lin Hao was admitted to an excellent university, but Lin Yue's grades were slightly inferior and he could only enter an ordinary school. Lin Xiao and her late husband, traditional Chinese families feel that the boy's future is more important, so they do everything they can to support Lin Hao's studies and even borrow some money to secure his future. At the same time, Lin Yue's living expenses and tuition fees seem to be a little stretched. Over the years, Lin Yue has always had a dissatisfied heart and felt that her parents were unfair to her.
Lin Yue's heart was full of dissatisfaction and sadness, and she felt that she was neglected by her family. Lin Xiao tried to justify his decision, but Lin Yue's sadness could not be easily soothed. Lin Hao, his son, although he lives well, cares significantly less about his family than Lin Yue. He was always in a hurry at every family gathering, as if there were endless things waiting for him. Lin Xiao tries to establish a deeper connection with his son, but he always seems to be avoiding the depth of this family affection.
However, Lin Yue is different, despite her many grievances with her parents, she still visits them, chats with them, and shares her life and work. Her life, though not rich, is full of satisfaction. Lin Xiao began to realize his partiality towards Lin Yue, but he always tried to avoid the problem until a family dinner, Lin Yue suddenly questioned him.
Lin Xiao felt pain and guilt in his heart, and he decided to make up for his past mistakes. So, he decided to transfer his house in Beijing to Lin Yue as compensation for her years of work. Although this decision caused Lin Hao's dissatisfaction, Lin Xiao firmly believed that this was what he should do as a mother. Lin Yue and her husband, Zhang Qiang, were also surprised and uneasy at first, but eventually accepted the sincerity.
As time passed, the relationship between Lin Xiao and Lin Yue gradually eased, and the family was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Lin Yue is pregnant, and this news brings infinite joy and anticipation to the whole family. They had a great time together and reconnected with each other.
In the end, Lin Yue successfully gave birth to a healthy boy, and they named him Xiao Hao in honor of Lin Hao. Xiao Hao's birth symbolizes the reconciliation of the family and the rebirth of love. Lin Xiao realized that family harmony requires everyone's efforts and dedication, and he is determined to use his love to nourish this family and let it thrive.
As Xiao Hao grows up, the family becomes warmer and more beautiful. Lin Xiao felt extremely satisfied and happy, and he knew that no matter what happened, he would firmly guard this family and make it always full of love and warmth.
