The reunion of family affection
My name is Xiao Ning, and I was born in an ordinary but loving family. My dad is a tough and hardworking man, his name is Da Gang. My father was an orphan from a young age, and he was adopted by my grandfather and loved him as if he were his own child. Grandpa is a retired old teacher, and he used his meager pension and deep fatherly love to build a warm home for his father.
Dad was very competitive, and through his own efforts, he not only completed his studies, but also started his own small business, which made our lives better day by day. Grandpa always smiled and said that Dad was his pride. And Dad always looked at Grandpa affectionately, saying that he was the luckiest person in the world because he had the best father.
However, the peaceful life was shattered one day. It was a fine afternoon, and a man claiming to be my father's own brother showed up at our doorstep. His name is Erqiang, a few years younger than his father, and his face is somewhat similar to his father, but there is an indescribable vicissitudes in his eyes.
Erqiang told us that he was his father's biological brother and that they were forced to separate at a very young age because of family poverty. He was sent to a distant relative's house, while his father was adopted by his grandfather. For years, he has been searching for his father's whereabouts, hoping to be reunited with his long-lost brother.
Our whole family was shocked to hear the news. Dad was even more stunned, unable to speak for a long time. I looked at my father's complicated expression, and my heart was mixed. What kind of changes will this sudden appearance bring to our family?
The arrival of the second strong has turned our lives upside down. He tried to fit in with our family, but he was clearly not comfortable with it yet. Between Dad and Erqiang, although blood is thicker than water, years of separation make their relationship seem a little rusty. However, the family affection that blood is thicker than water is constantly abandoned. Gradually, they began to confide in each other, understand each other, and reminisce about their childhood together.
Once, I heard my dad and Erqiang talking late at night in the study. They talked about interesting stories from their childhood, about their experiences after separation, and about their hopes for the future. I peeked through the crack in the door and saw a long-lost smile on my father's face, and Erqiang's eyes were moist. At that moment, I deeply felt the power of family affection.
Over time, Erqiang gradually integrated into our family. He started to get involved in family activities, celebrating holidays and vacations with us. He also began to care about my studies and life, telling me about his experiences and insights. Gradually, I realized that although this uncle was a newcomer, he really treated us as family.
However, a happy life is always short-lived. One day, Erqiang suddenly fell ill. He was diagnosed with a rare disease that required expensive medical bills to treat. The news came as a bolt from the blue for our family. Dad didn't hesitate to take on the responsibility of taking care of Erqiang, and he began to run around to raise medical bills.
During that time, the relationship between Dad and Erqiang became even closer. Together, they are undaunted in the face of adversity, encouraging and supporting each other. I saw my father's responsibility and courage as an elder brother, and I also saw Erqiang's strength and optimism as a patient. Their relationship was sublimated in the midst of adversity.
After a period of treatment, Erqiang's condition was finally brought under control. He said with emotion: "I thought that coming to this house would cause you trouble, but I didn't expect that in the end it was you who saved my life." Dad held his hand tightly and said, "We are brothers, so we should support each other as a family." ”
After Erqiang recovered, our family's life gradually returned to peace. He got a job and started working on his life. And Dad continues to run his small business and take our family towards a better future. Whenever I think back to that difficult time, I feel extremely blessed and grateful. We are glad that we have such a strong, united family and are grateful to everyone who has done for us.
One day, Dad suddenly received a phone call from Erqiang. He said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "Brother, do you know? I've found our birth parents! "Our whole family was stunned to hear the news. Biological parents? What's going on?
It turned out that Erqiang had been looking for his biological parents during his recovery. He inquired through various channels and finally found their whereabouts. They now live in the countryside, and although they are poor, they are still stable.
Dad and Erqiang decide to visit them. I followed. When we came to the dilapidated hut, I saw two elderly men. Their faces were wrinkled and their hair was gray, but there was kindness in their eyes.
When they saw us, they burst into tears. They told us that because of the family's poverty, they could not support two children at the same time, so they had to give their father away for adoption. For so many years, they had been feeling guilty, hoping to find their father and apologize to him.
Listening to what they have to say, my heart is filled with emotion. It turns out that there is such a twisted story behind our family. I watched my father and Erqiang hug their biological parents tightly, as if they wanted to turn all these years of longing and guilt into the power of hugging.
At that moment, I deeply felt the greatness and tolerance of family affection. No matter how many twists and turns and tribulations have been experienced, family affection is always the bond that connects each other. It allows us to learn to forgive, learn to cherish, and make us more determined to move towards the future.
