In the distant countryside, your parents are quietly waiting for your return. The fields are vast, the trees are green, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Their figures look older and older in the sunset, but their eyes are full of longing and expectation for you.
You are busy in the city for life and dreams. You run around every corner, racing against time and battling stress. What you are looking for is a higher position, a better salary, and a broader prospect. You try to find your own world in a city full of competition and opportunity.
However, have you ever thought that while you are running around in the city, your parents are slowly growing old in the countryside. Their hair has turned gray, their faces are wrinkled, and their steps are no longer as athletic. The hard work and selfless dedication they have paid for you can only be exchanged for sighs and helpless waiting.
In the dead of night, do you think of your distant hometown? Do you remember those loved ones who grew up with you? Do you remember those warm and beautiful times? Those memories are scattered like pearls in your heart, sparkling.
You might say that you work hard for a better life and a better life for your parents. But have you ever thought that what parents really need is not money and material satisfaction, but your companionship and care. They are eager to spend time with you and share the joys and sorrows of life. They want you to take some time out of your busy life to spend time with them, listen to their stories from the past, and share the joy of the present with them.
When you're running around the city, slow down and give yourself a chance to breathe. Back to that home full of warmth and love, back to my parents. You will find that the hometown you once knew is still as beautiful as ever, and the relatives you grew up with are still as loving as ever. You will find that those simple happiness and joy are actually all around you.
Don't wait until your parents are old to regret not cherishing the time you spent with them. Don't wait until you lose it to know how to cherish it. While you're in the city, don't forget the home that's always waiting for you to return. Because in this world, the most precious thing is family affection and companionship.
