This year's Chinese New Year is destined to be an unforgettable moment for me. My father is 88 years old, and although the years have carved deep wrinkles on his face, his mind is still as strong as ever.

It happened on Chinese New Year's Eve, and our family got together and spent a warm Chinese New Year's Eve with laughter. However, early in the morning, my father began to show an unpredictable attitude, as if there was something unspeakable.

At breakfast, I wanted to talk to my father, but I was stopped by his indifferent eyes. I don't understand why my old father suddenly became so reticent and unsmiling.

Over time, this indescribable tension permeated the entire family. It wasn't until the lunch table that I finally couldn't bear this silence anymore and bravely asked, "Dad, is there anything bothering me?" Why do you look so unhappy? ”

The old father let out a long sigh, his eyes were full of deep helplessness: "Son, I really don't know what to say. Maybe it's because I feel more and more useless. ”

When I heard this, my heart suddenly became heavy. The old father is the pillar of our family, and he has been silently dedicated for many years, how can it be useless? I hurriedly comforted: "Dad, you are the pillar of our family, and your smile every day is our happiness." Don't worry about anything, we'll always have your back. ”

However, the old father's expression was even more sad, as if there was an unspeakable bitterness. He rubbed his hands, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke: "I hope that during the Chinese New Year, our family can be reunited and happy as before." However, I found that all this had changed, the family relationship became more and more indifferent, and it seemed that we had lost that family affection. ”

My heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and it turned out that the old father's heart contained such an expectation. When I was a child, my father always told us interesting stories about his childhood during the Chinese New Year and played with us, which was full of the taste of fatherly love. But now, the family relationship has become indifferent, which makes me feel guilty.

I began to wonder if I was neglecting the importance of family while pursuing my career. Is it that I am busy at work and forget the time I spend with my parents? I suddenly felt a deep sense of responsibility that brought tears to my eyes.

At this moment, I decided to change and make this Chinese New Year an opportunity for our family to reunite. I walked up to my old father and held his hand tightly: "Dad, I understand, I will work harder to accompany you in the future and make our family full of warmth and happiness." ”

The old father's eyes flashed with tears, he held my hand and smiled slightly: "Good boy, it's good to have you." "At this moment, our hearts are close to each other and our emotions are intertwined.

So, I started to take action and invited my family and friends to join us for our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, breaking the cold atmosphere of previous years. Everyone was smiling, the family was happy, and the old father's face finally showed a satisfied smile.

In the midst of laughter, I realized that family relationships are far more important than busy work. Chinese New Year is not only a time for reunion, but also a time to check whether you are dedicated to your family. From that moment on, I understood the true meaning of happiness and no longer let work be an obstacle for me to spend time with my family.

This Chinese New Year has become a turning point for our family, and we have regained our long-lost family affection. The old father gradually came out of his pessimistic mood, and he began to enjoy this warm reunion, which made me feel sincerely gratified.

The day of the Chinese New Year was originally the warmest moment for a family, and in this New Year, I understood the preciousness of family and the importance of companionship. I hope that this warmth will continue forever and fill our family with love forever. In this special Chinese New Year, we spent it together as a family, which has become the deepest memory in my heart.
