My name is Sun Yong, I am 45 years old, and I am a taxi driver who has been working in the city for more than ten years. On this day, I drove around the city as usual, looking for the next client. It's seven o'clock in the evening, and the taxi business is just picking up. At this time, I saw a young girl in her early twenties beckoning to take a taxi on a road**. She was slender, wearing a white shirt with jeans and a small backpack, and looked like a college student. When the girl got in the car and said she was going to college, I nodded, turned around and drove to her destination. 
Every now and then I peeked at the girl through the rearview mirror along the way. She has shoulder-length long hair, and her facial features are very delicate, especially her eyes, which always feel like she has seen somewhere. Don't. Could she be my long-lost daughter? "Miss, may I ask, are you a ** person? I asked tentatively. "My hometown is in Zhengzhou, Henan, a small county town called Fuyang. The girl replied. 
When I heard the name of the place, I was so excited that my hands and feet went numb—she was talking about my hometown! Now I'm even more sure she's probably my daughter! But I haven't been back to my hometown for ten years, and I don't know if she still remembers me as a father. "My name is Zhang Yue. The girl replied. The thought of this made me tremble with excitement, tears welled up in my eyes, and my mind went blank. It's been ten years, and I've finally found my daughter! But does she still recognize me, my father, who hasn't returned home for a long time? How am I going to open my mouth to recognize her? The girl seemed to see my abnormality and asked with concern, "Uncle, are you okay, why are you crying?" ”
I took a few deep breaths, tried to calm my mind, and after thinking about it, I still told the truth directly: "Yueyue, I'm your father, do you remember me?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly lit up: "You are my father?" Oh my God, I thought you would never come back! After saying that, the girl herself had red circles in her eyes, and tears rolled in her eyes. My lips trembled with excitement and I began to cry bitterly. Ten years of parting and guilt turned into water vapor at this moment, and I hugged this long-lost daughter tightly. 
My daughter also cried so hard that she buried her head in my shoulders and hugged me tightly with both hands. I stroked her long hair with one hand and patted her back with the other, making her cry out all the grievances of the past ten years. It took a while for her daughter's emotions to calm down a little. She sniffled, looked up at me with red eyes, and said, "Dad, it's great that you're back." At the mention of my eldest daughter, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "Is Yuyu okay now?" How are you two sisters doing? The daughter wiped her tears and said, "We're doing okay, my sister is in college and rents a house in the city to live on her own." 
My mother is still farming in her hometown, and we all feel sorry for her after working hard day and night. My heart is like a knife when I hear it, my wife has worked hard at home alone all these years, and the children have also worked hard to study, all of which are caused by my incompetent father. But not in the future, Dad will take good care of you and will work hard to make money so that you can live a good life! ”。My daughter hurriedly comforted me: "Dad, you don't have to blame yourself, we all understand you and know that it is not easy to work outside." Now it's good that you're back, and our family can finally be reunited! ”。
Hearing my daughter's words, the self-blame and guilt in my heart also dissipated a lot. I began to look to the future, a better life for this family of four to be reunited. "Yueyue, Dad will often come home to see you in the future. Let's go back to our hometown to see my mother and sister together this weekend, okay? I asked impatiently. "Okay, I'll call them right now to tell them the good news! The daughter happily agreed. My heart is warm, and I finally see the hope of life. At this moment, I made up my mind that I must cherish the time I spent with my family. 
From now on, I will live a more meaningful and purposeful life. By this time, the taxi had approached my daughter's school. I stopped the car, and my daughter reluctantly got out of the car after paying the fare. I'm super looking forward to seeing you with my mom and sister! She said excitedly. "Definitely. Dad really wanted to meet them, too. "As I watched my daughter enter the school gate, my heart welled up with happiness and satisfaction that I had not felt for a long time. 
It was a day full of wonders and surprises for me. Heaven finally favored me and restored my family's recognition and forgiveness. I happily drove back to my hometown over the weekend, eager to be reunited with my wife and eldest daughter. I arrived at my hometown at nightfall and drove directly to my old house. Through the window, I saw that the lights were on in the room. I excitedly pushed the door in, only to see my wife cooking in the kitchen, and my eldest daughter Zhang Yu was helping out. "Husband, you're back! My wife was overjoyed and ran over to me and hugged me and cried. 
The eldest daughter also followed, looking at me with tears in her eyes: "Dad, we finally waited for you to come home!" "I hugged the two most beloved women and wept bitterly, and all these years of thoughts and regrets turned into tears. Wiping away my tears, I looked my wife and eldest daughter up and down, and found that they were visibly thinner and older. "Honey, I'm sorry that you've worked hard to support your family all these years... I said to my wife in an excited tone. 
My wife interrupted me gently: "Husband, I never blamed you. I know it's not easy for you to be out there either, thinking that one day you'll come back. "Dad, we don't blame you. Now that you're back, our family is complete. The eldest daughter also said with red eyes. Hearing the tolerant words of my wife and daughter, my heart finally landed. It turned out that they had already forgiven my decision many years ago. "I promise, I will always be by your side and never leave again. I will redouble my efforts to make money, ask you to retire and retire at home, so that our daughter can start a family without worries.
I spoke quickly about my commitments and plans to them. "Okay, okay, don't talk about that. Today is the day of reunion, and it is most important for the family to be together. My wife smiled warmly and wiped away tears for me. The next morning, I got up early in the morning and began to prepare a sumptuous family dinner. I haven't cooked for many years, but the art of chopping vegetables and cooking rice is still there. The daughter arrived soon. A family of four gathered together and had a hot home-cooked meal together for the first time in a long time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we talked and laughed and talked about our experiences over the years.
Dad, these dishes are so delicious! I miss your craft so much. "My two daughters kept praising me. Looking at my daughters' bulging cheeks as they ate, my heart warmed, as if I had returned to the days when my family ate my cooking every day. At this moment, I suddenly realized that the meaning of life is not just to work hard and make more money, but to laugh, tell stories, and eat with those closest to me. I will always remember this emotion, and from now on, my family will be my everything.
After the meal, the family sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard and chatted over tea. The second daughter excitedly told her mother and sister about the experience of meeting me again in the city, and everyone was surprised and touched by this miraculous coincidence. As I watched my wife and daughters happy, I felt a sense of satisfaction that I had never felt before. This is the life I desire, the simple family time. "Dabi, you will be our family's 'family cook' in the future! The eldest daughter made a joke. "That's a must, you all like the dishes I cook so much, let me be a family cook! I laughed.
But Dad, you also have to work to support your family, you can't just open it, you don't have to work too hard. The second daughter said nonchalantly. My heart pounded. With my current part-time income, it is still difficult to support a family of four. I pondered for a while and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Dad will find a way." We'll have a good life then. "Husband, don't think too much about it first. With me and my daughters, we'll work together. My wife said with encouragement in her eyes.
I nodded my head heavily, and courage and determination rose in my heart. That's right, I'm no longer the one I used to be. "By the way, when are your sisters going to get married and have children? I want my father to hold his grandson as soon as possible! I asked my two daughters with a smile. "Oh Dad, what are you talking about getting married and having children now, my sister and I still have to work to make money! The eldest daughter said with a smile. "That is, you have to wait until you find the right partner to get married. The second daughter also smiled shyly.
I looked at the shy appearance of my two daughters, and I was very pleased. It doesn't matter, I can wait, and it's not too late to ask for a grandson when they have a good harvest in their careers and families. That night, my family sat around the TV watching a family movie. In between watching movies, I turned my head to look at my wife and daughters from time to time, and I was delighted to find that their faces were full of smiles that I hadn't seen for a long time. We spent two nights in this way. In the blink of an eye, the day of the daughters' return came, and our whole family was a little sad. "Dad, you often come back to see us. The second daughter said reluctantly.
Yes, I'll find time to come back often. You also have to take care of yourselves and your mother. "I hugged my two daughters. "Have a nice trip. Remember to give me a **. The wife watched her two daughters leave. I took my wife's shoulders and watched the back of my daughters go away, full of hope and strength in my heart. Coming home this time, I have been traumatized for many years and have regained the meaning of life. From now on, I will protect this home with all my love.
After my daughters left their hometown, I decided to stay with my wife for a while. Over the years, my wife has taken care of the house and farm work alone, and I feel guilty. The next day, I got up early in the morning and went to the vegetable garden to help my wife water and weed. I haven't been on the ground for many years, and my hands and feet are a little rusty. We can do this work together. I nodded, and went to work side by side with my wife. The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the long-lost rural life makes me feel extremely peaceful.
Husband, the days when I have you at home are the happiest for me. My wife looked at me with emotion. "I will always be with you in the future. We're going to have a lot of happy days like this. I squeezed her hand and said. In the following days, I lived with my wife like this. I regained the feeling of doing housework and working in the fields, and I also learned to enjoy the village life at a leisurely pace. I also give regular greetings to my daughters, who have been busy lately, but they all sound like they're doing well.
In this way, I lived in my hometown for more than half a month. Until one day, my wife said to me solemnly, "Husband, you should go back to work in the city." I groaned for a moment, knowing that my wife was right. I can't stay in the countryside forever and take on the responsibility of supporting my family. I'm relieved that you're here. I said to my wife. So, with the encouragement of my wife, I went back to the city early. I was a little reluctant at first, but I quickly got back into my work.
I was determined to provide my family with better material security in life. With purpose and motivation, I am more motivated to work. Now I have found the meaning of life, which is to be with my family. I will continue to work hard and will often go back to my hometown to visit my wife. This family of four will go hand in hand to welcome each new stage of life! When I got back to town, I started working as a driver at my old rental company. It's hard work, but it's no longer a burden for me.
Every day when I come back to the rental house from work, I think of the smiling faces of my wife and daughters, and I am full of strength. One day after work, I called my wife and daughters as usual. The daughters have been busy lately, but the tone sounds happy. I let go of **, and my heart swelled with beautiful expectations for the future. A few days later, the taxi company came to a young new driver, Xiao Wang. He had just gotten married, and he came to open it in order to earn money to support his family.
Xiao Wang said that he admired my spirit of working hard for my family. "Master, you are so able to endure hardships, and if you make money, you will definitely give your family a good life! Xiao Wang said enviously. I smiled and nodded, but my mind was thinking. I'm really hard at my job, and it's hard to make the leap. To give my family a better life, I need to change jobs. So I started to pay attention to driving-related professional qualifications. After comparison, I decided to get a bus driver's license.
Then I made time to start preparing for the exam. Most of the exercises were on road traffic regulations, and I passed the test with many years of driving experience. This is a significant step forward for me, and I am one step closer to my goal of giving my family a better life. Soon, I passed the entrance examination of the bus company and officially became a bus driver. On my first day on the job, I put on a brand new ** and felt very proud to drive the city streets on a huge bus. It felt very fulfilling and satisfying.
There's still a long way to go, but I know where I want to go. I will continue to walk step by step and give my dearest people a warm home.
