In a busy Chinese city, the Li family lives in an ordinary rental apartment. Li Qiang, the only son in the family, lives with his father Li Wei. Li Wei, a gentle son-in-law, has been silently supporting the small family for many years. Li Qiang's mother, Wang Li, lives in a different world from them. During a recent urban renewal, Wang Li was given a new home, but she chose to gift this wealth to her daughter, Li Jing, much to the surprise of Li Qiang and his father.
The story begins on a cold winter night, Li Qiang is preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Li Wei is sitting in the living room, looking at the snow outside the window with confused eyes.
Dad, dinner is ready. Li Qiang shouted.
Li Wei turned his head and walked into the kitchen with a smile. "Thank you for your hard work, Qiangqiang. He whispered.
At the dinner table, there was very little conversation between the two. Li Qiang suddenly asked, "Dad, why did Mom give the house to my sister?" Don't we need it more? ”
Li Wei sighed, his eyes revealing deep helplessness. "It's her decision, and we respect it. ”
But is it fair? We were here to cram ...... in such a small apartmentLi Qiang's voice was full of dissatisfaction.
Li Wei shook his head, trying to change the subject. "How's your studying? Don't worry too much about things at home. ”
Li Qiang didn't speak again, just ate silently. His heart was full of questions and resentment, but he knew that his father had done his best.
The next day, on his way to school, Li Qiang met his sister Li Jing by chance. Li Jing was wearing an expensive coat and holding a cup of coffee in her hand.
Qiangqiang, how are you doing? Li Jing asked with a smile.
Not bad. Li Qiang replied lightly.
I've heard that you're still living in that little apartment, and it's really hard. I have time to play in my new house. Li Jing said lightly.
Li Qiang felt unhappy in his heart, but he still replied politely: "Okay, sister." ”
That night, Li Qiang returned home and told his father about meeting his sister this time. Li Wei was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Everyone's choice is different, we can only try our best to live our own lives." ”
Li Qiang nodded, although his heart was full of doubts and grievances, he knew that what his father said was right. They must accept the reality, even though it is fraught with hardship.
Li Qiang's life is full of challenges. Every morning, he had to wake up early, help his father prepare breakfast, and then rush to school. At school, he often faced ridicule and rejection from his classmates, because they knew that he lived in a rented apartment and his family was not in good condition.
One day after school, a group of classmates laughed at him on the playground: "Look, Li Qiang is here again in that old clothes." ”
Li forced his way over, trying his best to ignore their ridicule. But he felt very sad and lonely in his heart.
Back at home, Li Qiang found his father preparing dinner. Despite his hard work, Li Wei has always maintained an optimistic attitude.
Dad, I was ridiculed by my classmates at school. Li Qiang couldn't help but confide in his heart.
Li Wei stopped what he was doing, looked at his son, and said gently: "Be strong, other people's opinions don't matter, the important thing is that we must strive for self-improvement." ”
Li Qiang nodded, although there were still waves in his heart, his father's words gave him strength.
A few days later, Li Qiang ran into his old neighbor, Uncle Zhang, on campus. Uncle Zhang looked anxious.
Qiangqiang, how is your dad doing? I heard you moved. Uncle Zhang asked with concern.
Li Qiang replied: "Dad is fine, we are living in a rented house now." ”
Uncle Zhang sighed: "Your dad is really a good person, always putting others first. ”
These words made Li Qiang's heart surge with a warm current, and he was proud to have such a father.
At the same time, Li Wei also encountered difficulties in his work. His work pressure is increasing, but his income is still meager. One night, Li Qiang heard his father arguing with his mother in **.
I tried my best, Lily, but I have a limit on my own. Li Wei's voice sounded helpless.
Li Qiang listened quietly outside the door, his heart full of sympathy for his father and dissatisfaction with his mother.
Over time, Li Qiang gradually became strong and independent in his studies and life. He started working part-time in his spare time to share the financial burden on his family. Despite the hardships of life, he never gave up hope.
One day, Li Qiang met a teacher who had helped him at a part-time job. The teacher was both surprised and proud to see him at work.
Li Qiang, you are such a hardworking child. The teacher praised.
Li Qiang replied with a smile: "Thank you, teacher, I just want to help my family." ”
Over time, Li Qiang discovered the real reason why his mother transferred the property to his sister by chance. It turned out that her mother had been worried about Li Jing's life after she got married, hoping to give her more security through real estate. Li Qiang was shocked by this discovery, and he gained a deeper understanding of his mother's partiality, but the grievances and anger in his heart were still difficult to quell.
One night, Li Qiang and his father discussed the matter at home.
Dad, why did Mom do this? Why is it always eccentric to my sister? Li Qiang was emotional.
Li Wei sighed softly, "Every parent has their difficulties, maybe your mother has her considerations." ”
Li Qiang was silent. He understood his father's words, but the sense of injustice in his heart was still difficult to heaval.
Soon after, an unexpected event changed everything. On a stormy night, Li Wei witnessed a traffic accident on his way home and rushed forward to help the injured without hesitation. This heroic act was reported by ** and attracted widespread attention from the society. Li Wei's courageous actions not only won praise from his neighbors and society, but also made his family re-examine his worth and contributions.
When the news reached the ears of Wang Li and Li Jing, they were deeply touched. Wang Li realizes that she has neglected her husband and son for many years, and Li Jing also begins to reflect on her own selfishness.
On a weekend, the family was reunited in Li Wei's small apartment. There was embarrassment and tension in the air, but there was also hope for a fresh start.
Wei, I'm sorry I ignored your feelings. Wang Li broke the silence first, with tears in her eyes.
Li Jing also stepped forward and whispered, "Dad, Qiangqiang, I've always been selfish, I hope you can forgive me." ”
Li Wei smiled gently, "We are all a family, let us communicate more and understand more in the future." ”
Li Qiang looked at the scene in front of him, and the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart gradually subsided. He realized that family harmony was more important than any possessions.
Since then, the atmosphere of the Li family has become warmer and more harmonious. Li Wei and Li Qiang's lives gradually improved, and Wang Li and Li Jing began to work hard to make up for their past regrets. The story ends with the reunion of the family and the resolution of the conflict, showing the power of family affection and the importance of family. Through this incident, the Li family learned to understand, respect, and cherish each other.
