The autumn breeze was cool, the fallen leaves covered the path home, Li Ming and Wang Li held hands and stepped on the train to their hometown. Outside the car window, the golden rice fields roll like waves, and the occasional laughter of rice farmers can be heard as they harvest a good harvest. In the carriage, the laughter of the children and the gentle advice of the parents are intertwined into a warm picture.
"Ming, have you brought all the gifts for your parents?" Wang Li asked softly, sorting out her luggage.
"Well, it's all here." Li Ming patted the travel bag next to him, which contained their carefully selected mooncakes and tea leaves.
"When I go back this time, I want to spend more time with my mother, she hasn't been in good health recently." Wang Li's voice carried a hint of concern.
"Don't worry, we are going back this time to accompany the old people on both sides." Li Ming held Wang Li's hand with a firm look in his eyes.
The train slowly drove into the small station, and after the two got off the train, they took a deep breath of the long-lost hometown air. Li Ming's parents were already waiting on the platform, and when they saw their son and daughter-in-law, their faces were filled with joy that could not be concealed.
"Mingming, Lili, you're finally back!" Mother Li stepped forward and hugged Wang Li tightly, with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, we're back." Wang Li hugged her mother-in-law back, her voice full of warmth.
The family stood in their arms, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on their happy faces, and at this moment, it seemed that all the troubles were left behind.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was held in the old house of the Li family, and a long dining table was set up in the courtyard, and the table was full of all kinds of delicacies, and the fragrance was fragrant. Relatives sat around, chatting and laughing, children chased and frolicked, and laughter filled the entire courtyard.
After the meal, Li Ming pulled Wang Li into the bedroom and took out two red envelopes from his pocket, one thick and one thin. He whispered to Wang Li: "Li, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift money I gave to my parents and parents-in-law, you can help me transfer it." ”
Wang Li took the red envelope and frowned slightly, but she didn't ask more, just nodded. Li Ming turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Wang Li alone in front of these two red envelopes of different thicknesses.
Wang Li's heart rippled, she knew that Li Ming had always been filial, but such a difference made her confused. She walked softly to the door of her in-laws' room, knocked on it, and pushed it in.
"Mom, this is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for you." Wang Li smiled and handed over the thick red envelope.
Mother Li took the red envelope, and the smile on her face was even brighter: "Obviously always so sensible, come, Lili, you have also worked hard, this is for you." As she spoke, she handed Wang Li a small red envelope.
Wang Li returned to her room, and the doubts in her heart became heavier and heavier. She thought of her parents and Li Ming's promise, and the balance in her heart began to waver. She decided that when she returned to her parents' house, she would find out the secret behind it.
The next day, Wang Li and Li Ming returned to Wang Li's maiden home. The atmosphere at home is equally lively, and Wang Li's parents have prepared a sumptuous lunch, looking forward to the arrival of their daughter and son-in-law. At the dinner table, everyone sat around and enjoyed the warmth of the festival.
After the meal, Wang Li took the opportunity to help clean up the table and handed the thin red envelope to her mother. The Queen Mother took the red envelope, and the smile on her face froze slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
"Mom, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift money for you." Wang Li said tentatively.
The queen mother opened the red envelope and saw the amount of money inside, although she was a little surprised, she still smiled and said to Wang Li: "Obviously you have a heart, you also have to take care of yourself." ”
At night, Wang Li lay on the bed tossing and turning, and the dissatisfaction in her heart was like a suppressed volcano about to erupt. She waited until Li Ming fell asleep, then quietly got up, took out her mobile phone, and looked through Li Ming's WeChat and Alipay billing records. The moonlight shines through the curtains on her face, reflecting her complex expression.
As the records were checked, Wang Li's face became more and more heavy. She found that Li Ming not only gave her parents more money, but also often transferred money to them privately. Anger and disappointment filled her heart, and she felt cheated and betrayed by the man she loved so much.
The next morning, Wang Li could no longer control her emotions, and she directly asked Li Ming: "Why do you treat my family so differently?" Do you still think of me as your wife in your heart? ”
Li Ming was caught off guard by the sudden questioning, and he tried to explain: "Lili, listen to me......"
But Wang Li was no longer willing to listen to any explanation from him, and she had only one thought in her heart - divorce. She packed her simple luggage and walked out of the room resolutely, leaving Li Ming with a dazed face and the silence of the room.
Wang Li's steps were firm and fast, and she made her way through the familiar streets of the town to the train station. The pain and anger in her heart were like a dark cloudy sky, and she could barely breathe. She didn't want to look back, she didn't want to think about the days they had passed together, she just wanted to escape from this reality that broke her heart.
Li Ming chased after him, and he shouted loudly behind Wang Li: "Lili, you wait!" Let's have a good talk! But his voice pale in the empty streets.
Wang Li didn't stop, she got on the train, found a corner and sat down, tears flowed involuntarily. She remembered the bits and pieces of her acquaintance and love with Li Ming, but those good memories now became a sharp blade that pierced her heart.
Li Ming stood outside the station, looking at the train in the distance, his heart was like a knife. He knew that the problem was serious this time, but he still couldn't understand why Wang Li was so decisive. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Li's phone, but only got an indifferent hang-up sound.
When Wang Li returned home, she struggled to keep her composure in the face of her parents' concerned gaze. She simply recounted what had happened, but concealed her decision. The royal father was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Lili, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust and communication. You should sit down and have a good talk. ”
But Wang Li's heart has been broken, she feels that her trust has been trampled on, and communication can no longer make up for it. She told her parents that she needed time to calm down and locked herself in her room. The outside world seems to have nothing to do with her, and she just wants to think quietly about the direction of the future alone.
A few days of calmness calmed Wang Li's emotions somewhat, but her determination did not waver. However, just as she was about to file for an official separation with Li Ming, an email unexpectedly came into her sight. The email was sent by Li Ming with the subject line "I'm sorry, I have something to say."
Wang Li hesitated for a moment, and finally clicked on the email. The screen was displayed in Li Ming's handwriting, and every word revealed his sincerity and anxiety: "Dear Lili, I know what I did wrong, I didn't communicate my difficulties and plans with you in time. The money I gave to my parents was actually to help them pay off their debts, and they borrowed a lot of money for our marriage. I've been working hard trying to fix this quietly. As for my parents-in-law, I do give less, because I know that your parents are more comfortable, and I hope you can understand my struggles. ”
After reading the email, Wang Li's heart wall began to loosen. She realized that she might have misunderstood Li Ming's good intentions. She remembered the moments they had spent together, the joys and challenges they faced together. Wang Li began to reflect on her impulses, and she realized that she also had a responsibility to understand the whole picture.
Wang Li picked up the phone and dialed Li Ming's number. Li Ming's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lili, have you seen my email?" Can we meet and talk? ”
"Well, we can talk." Wang Li's voice softened a lot.
The two agreed to meet at a quiet café. After sitting down face-to-face, Li Ming explained everything to Wang Li in detail. He talked about his helplessness and pressure, and also expressed his love and apologies to Wang Li. Wang Li listened, the frost in her eyes gradually melted, and she finally understood Li Ming's hard work.
At that moment, the truth was revealed, and the misunderstanding was resolved by a frank dialogue. The two hearts are getting closer again, and they know that nothing cannot be overcome as long as they trust and support each other.
Under the warm light of the café, Li Ming and Wang Li's hands were clasped tightly, and their eyes showed relief and gratitude. After a long conversation, the hearts of the two people were understood and supported by each other. Li Ming promised to communicate more openly with Wang Li in the future, and Wang Li also realized the importance of communication in relationships.
"I shouldn't be so impulsive, I should give you a chance to explain." Wang Li said in a low voice, with tears in her eyes.
"It's that I'm not good enough, I should have told you the truth sooner." Li Ming gently wiped Wang Li's tears, his heart full of guilt.
They decide to put aside past misunderstandings and start over. Li Ming proposes to go to a movie together, just like they did when they were in love. Wang Li nodded in agreement, knowing that this was the first step in rebuilding their trust.
In the movie theater, the two sat in a dimly lit corner, sharing popcorn and watching the story unfold on the screen. Although the plot of the movie is important, what they cherish more is the time they spend with each other. At the end of the movie, they smile at each other, as if they see hope for their shared future.
Back home, they confessed everything to their parents on both sides. Although the family was a little surprised, they were also relieved that they had reconciled. Li Ming's parents were understanding and supportive, while Wang Li's parents encouraged them to keep going.
Since then, Li Ming and Wang Li's relationship has become stronger. They learned how to support each other in the face of difficulties and how to be honest with each other in the face of misunderstandings. The turmoil of the Mid-Autumn Festival became a small episode in their love story, making their marriage deeper and more precious.
The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival came again, and Li Ming and Wang Li invited their parents to their home to celebrate the festival. In the living room, a large round table was set up, and the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies and mooncakes. The moon outside the window is exceptionally round, symbolizing reunion and happiness.
"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is really special." Mother Li said with emotion, her eyes flashing with happiness.
"Yes, we are satisfied to be able to celebrate the holidays with the children." The royal father replied gently, a loving smile on his face.
Li Ming raised his glass and toasted to everyone present: "Thank you for your understanding and support, which allowed us to reunite." Today, we are not only celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also celebrating the reunion and harmony of our family. ”
Wang Li also stood up, her eyes full of gratitude: "This year has been full of challenges and growth for us. I want each of us to feel the warmth and happiness of home. ”
The atmosphere at the table was warm and congenial, with everyone sharing food, exchanging recent events, and laughing and talking. The children played on the sidelines and occasionally ran to the adults to be petty, which added a lot of fun.
After the meal, the whole family walked to the courtyard to admire the moon. The bright moonlight sprinkled on their faces, reflecting the happy silhouette of the family. Li Ming held Wang Li's hand, and the two snuggled together, their hearts full of beautiful visions for the future.
At this moment, all misunderstandings and pain have vanished, replaced by deep love and endless hope. They know that as long as their families are united, nothing cannot be overcome. The Mid-Autumn Festival of reunion became a beautiful beginning of their new life.
