In an ordinary small city, the Wang family lives a peaceful and well-off life. On a spring day in 1978, 23-year-old Wang Xu met 29-year-old Wang Lin for the first time. It was a blind date arranged by both parents.
Wang Xu was wearing a neat white shirt and sat in the teahouse a little nervously. When Wang Lin pushed open the door and walked in, he couldn't help but hold his breath. Wang Lin was dressed in a light blue dress, gentle and generous, exuding the charm of a mature woman in her gestures.
"Hello, I'm Wang Lin." Wang Lin smiled and stretched out her hand to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu stood up and held her hand a little crampedly, "You, hello, I'm Wang Xu." "
After the two sat down, Wang Lin took the initiative to break the silence, "I heard that you work in a machinery factory?" "
Wang Xu nodded, "Well, yes." I worked there as a technician. "
"That's good," Wang Lin said with a smile, "I teach in elementary school." Although the work is very hard, I feel a sense of accomplishment to watch the children improve day by day. "
As the conversation deepened, Wang Xu gradually relaxed. He found that Wang Lin was not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable and eloquent. Wang Lin was attracted by Wang Xu's down-to-earth and steady personality.
After the blind date, Wang Xu plucked up the courage to ask, "I, can I send you home?" "
Wang Lin smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble you." "
In this way, the two began to date. Three months later, they decided to get married.
Although their married life is ordinary, Wang Xu and Wang Lin respect each other like guests and love each other. Wang Xu is a taciturn person who works diligently in the unit. Every day when he comes home from work, he always silently helps Wang Lin with housework.
One night, Wang Lin was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Wang Xu walked in and said, "Wife, I'll help you." "
Wang Lin looked at her husband in surprise, "Why are you so proactive today?" "
Wang Xu smiled innocently, "I see that you have been very tired lately, and I want to help you share some of it." "
Wang Lin patted her husband's hand movingly, "Thank you, it's good to have you." "
Wang Lin has a cheerful personality and takes care of her husband at home. She can always dissolve Wang Xu's silence with gentle words. The complementary personalities of the two make their married life harmonious and happy.
In the spring of 1980, Wang Lin became pregnant. When she told Wang Xu the news, Wang Xu, who was silent in the past, was so excited that he couldn't speak, but just hugged his wife tightly.
"Wife, we're going to be mom and dad." Wang Lin whispered in her husband's arms.
Wang Xu nodded, tears shining in his eyes, "I will definitely take good care of you." "
During pregnancy, Wang Xu was cautious everywhere, for fear that Wang Lin would be wronged. Every day after work, he buys some fresh fruits, and sometimes brings back pregnant women's books to study with Wang Lin.
In the winter of 1981, Wang Tao was born. Looking at his infant son, Wang Xu said excitedly: "Wife, thank you for giving us such a lovely child." "
Wang Lin looked at her husband and son gently, "This is the crystallization of our love." "
With the passage of time, Wang Tao grew up healthily under the care of his parents. Although Wang Xu is not good at words, he always cares about his son silently. He often took Wang Tao to the park to play, teaching him to ride a bicycle and fly a kite.
Wang Lin showed more of the tenderness of maternal love. She patiently taught Wang Tao to learn and encouraged him to face difficulties bravely. Whenever Wang Tao made progress, Wang Lin would always give warm praise.
"Mom, look, I'll write my name!" Xiao Wang Tao excitedly held up his homework book.
Wang Lin smiled and touched her son's head, "Awesome!" We're so smart. "
In the blink of an eye, Wang Tao grew up, and in the expectation of his parents, he met his other half Liu Xin. It was at a company party that Wang Tao was attracted by Liu Xin's gentle and lovely temperament.
The two started dating, and Wang Tao often shared interesting stories with his parents about getting along with Liu Xin. One day, Wang Tao plucked up the courage to say to his parents: "Dad, Mom, I want to take Liu Xin home to see you." "
Wang Lin said happily: "Okay, we also want to meet this girl who haunts your dreams." "
Wang Xu nodded, showing a rare smile.
When Liu Xin came to Wang's house for the first time, she brought snacks made by herself. She said gently: "Hello parents, I made it myself, I hope you like it." "
Wang Lin took the snack with a smile, "What a caring daughter-in-law." "
Although Wang Xu didn't say anything, the praise in his eyes was overflowing.
Liu Xin was gentle and virtuous, and soon won the love of Wang Xu and Wang Lin. The two old men were very relieved to see that their son had found a satisfactory partner.
After getting married, Liu Xin moved into the Wang family and lived with her in-laws. At first, the newly formed family was happy. Wang Lin enthusiastically taught Liu Xin the way to run a house, "Xinxin, although your father doesn't like to talk, he likes to eat steamed fish very much, you have to pay more attention." "
Liu Xin nodded seriously, "I remember, Mom." I will definitely take good care of Dad. "
Wang Xu silently took care of this big family. One day, he quietly handed over the passbook he had saved for many years to Wang Tao, "Son, this is the savings of my parents over the years." You and Shin Shin have to live a good life. "
Liu Xin is also very sensible and always takes care of her in-laws. Every morning, she would prepare a hot breakfast for Wang Xu and Wang Lin. In the evening, she would walk in the yard with Wang Lin and chat about family life.
"Xinxin, have you and Taotao ever thought about having a child?" Wang Lin asked with a smile.
Liu Xin lowered her head shyly, "Mother-in-law, we are planning." "
Wang Lin happily patted her daughter-in-law's hand, "Great, your father and I are looking forward to holding our grandson." "
In this way, the life of the Wang family is full of a warm and harmonious atmosphere, and everyone is immersed in happiness. However, they don't yet know that fate is about to bring a great test to this harmonious family.
Spring is quietly coming, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard of the Wang family are blooming brightly. However, this season, which was full of laughter and laughter in previous years, is now shrouded in a heavy haze. Just a week before the peach blossoms bloomed, Wang Lin was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer during a routine physical examination.
This bad news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, instantly shattering the peaceful life of the Wang family. Wang Xu, who has always been taciturn, seemed to be ten years old at the moment he learned of his wife's condition. He held Wang Lin's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Wife, don't be afraid, let's face it together." "
Wang Lin held back her tears and patted the back of her husband's hand, "I'm not afraid, with you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything." "
Since that day, Wang Xu's life has changed dramatically. He took a long leave and stayed by Wang Lin's side day and night. He was not good at expressing himself on weekdays, but he began to learn to say some comforting words.
"Wife, I boiled your favorite chicken soup, come, I'll feed you." Wang Xu carefully held the bowl and said softly.
Wang Lin looked at her husband with a smile, "When did you learn to make soup?" "
"I let Xinxin teach me," Wang Xu scratched his head embarrassedly, "I want to take care of you personally." "
Liu Xin stood at the door of the ward, looking at this warm scene, her eyes were full of tears. She gently pushed the door in, "Mom, Dad, I'll help." "
Wang Lin beckoned to her daughter-in-law, "Xinxin, come, sit next to my mother." I have something to tell you. "
Liu Xin sat on the side of the hospital bed obediently, Wang Lin took her hand, and looked at her with gentle eyes, "Xinxin, my mother may not have much time." I want to tell you the story of me and your father-in-law, which can be regarded as a review of this life. "
"Mom, don't say that," Liu Xin hurriedly interrupted, "You'll definitely get better." "
Wang Lin shook his head lightly and continued: "You know what? I'm six years older than your father-in-law. When we went on a blind date, I was worried that he would mind the age difference. "
Liu Xin looked at Wang Xu in surprise, only to see her father-in-law with his head down, and his ears were slightly red.
Wang Lin continued: "But your father-in-law never cared about this. He always said, 'Wife, your maturity and stability are what I admire the most. Although he usually doesn't talk much, his love is hidden in his heart and expressed in action. "
Listening to her mother-in-law's story, Liu Xin couldn't help but be moved by the feelings of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. She looked at Wang Xu on the side and found that her father-in-law's eyes were shining with tears.
However, despite the family's efforts to take care of Wang Lin, her condition deteriorated. Spring goes to autumn, and Wang Lin's life is like falling leaves in autumn, slowly withering.
At the last moment of his life, Wang Lin took Wang Xu's hand and said with a smile: "Wife, we have loved each other for a lifetime, and I am very happy." Promise me, be good, don't miss me too much. "
Wang Xu clasped his wife's hand, and tears finally burst out of the embankment, "Wife, you can go without worry, I will take care of myself and the children." "
Wang Lin closed her eyes peacefully, as if she had just fallen asleep. In the ward, Wang Xu's sobbing broke the silence, and Liu Xin and Wang Tao hugged each other and cried.
Wang Lin's death brought a huge blow to the entire family, especially Wang Xu, who became even more silent. After the funeral, Wang Xu's behavior began to change subtly. He began to look through Wang Lin's relics frequently, and sometimes even stayed up all night, just sitting in Wang Lin's favorite rocking chair in a daze.
Late one night, Liu Xin got up to drink water and found her father-in-law still sitting in the living room. She called softly, "Dad, why haven't you slept so late?" "
Wang Xu came back to his senses and looked at Liu Xin with a dull gaze, "Xinxin, I seem to hear your mother-in-law calling me." "
Liu Xin walked over distressedly and patted her father-in-law's shoulder gently, "Dad, you're too tired, it's time to rest." Mom is watching us from heaven, and she wants you to take care of yourself. "
Wang Xu nodded, but he didn't mean to get up. Liu Xin sighed, poured a cup of hot water for her father-in-law, and said softly, "Dad, you drink some water first, and I'll chat with you." "
However, as time went on, Wang Xu's attitude changed more and more obviously. He began to be more harsh on his family, especially Liu Xin, than ever before.
One day, Liu Xin cooked Wang Lin's best braised pork, hoping to make the public more open. However, when she brought the dishes to the table, Wang Xu suddenly became angry.
"What a nasty thing this is!" Wang Xu pushed the bowl away suddenly, "How can your mother-in-law make one-tenth of it delicious!" "
Liu Xin was taken aback by this sudden anger, and said aggrievedly: "Dad, I did it according to my mother's recipe." "
Wang Xu looked at Liu Xin coldly, "Don't you want to pretend to be your mother-in-law!" You'll never be able to beat her! With that, he got up and left the table.
Wang Tao couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stand up and theorize, but was stopped by Liu Xin. Liu Xin shook his head and whispered, "Forget it, my father-in-law may miss my mother too much." "
However, this is just the beginning. Wang Xu began to get angry because of some small things, such as the food was not up to taste, and the house was not tidy enough. Once, Liu Xin accidentally broke Wang Lin's favorite teacup, and Wang Xu accused Liu Xin of being an "ignorant outsider" in front of the whole family.
"You outsider, you can't even hold a cup steadily!" Wang Xu roared angrily, "You don't know how to cherish your mother-in-law's things at all!" "
Liu Xin was heartbroken by these words, and tears rolled in her eyes. Wang Tao finally couldn't help it, "Dad! You've gone too far! Shin Shin has always treated you as her biological father, how can you say that about her? "
Wang Xu glared at his son, "What do you know!" Your mother is gone, and this family is in chaos! With that, he slammed the door and left.
Leaving Liu Xin and Wang Tao looking at each other, they didn't know what to do. Liu Xin wiped her tears and said softly, "Husband, don't blame Dad." He must miss his mother too much, and we have to be considerate of him. "
Wang Tao hugged his wife's shoulders and said distressedly: "Xinxin, don't be sad. Let's think about it again. "
In this way, the originally harmonious Wang family fell into an unprecedented predicament because of Wang Lin's death. Wang Xu's attitude left everyone confused and uneasy, especially Liu Xin, who couldn't understand why the once amiable guild had changed so much. However, she still chooses to face all this with love and tolerance, hoping to slowly resolve the pain in her father-in-law's heart.
In the late autumn night, the coolness is getting stronger. Liu Xin stood in the kitchen, looking at the falling leaves outside the window, and her heart was mixed. Since the death of her mother-in-law Wang Lin, the change in the attitude of her father-in-law Wang Xu has made her both confused and heartbroken. She sighed softly, recalling her mother-in-law's love for her before her death, and even more incomprehensible why her father-in-law had changed so much.
"Shin Shin, what are you thinking?" Wang Tao's voice came from behind him, interrupting Liu Xin's thoughts.
Liu Xin turned around and barely squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what to cook at night." "
Wang Tao approached his wife and gently hugged her shoulder, "Don't lie to me, I know you're thinking about Dad." "
Liu Xin leaned on her husband's arms, and finally couldn't help choking, "Husband, I really don't know what to do." I've tried my best, but my father-in-law seems to hate me more and more. "
Wang Tao stroked his wife's back and comforted: "Don't be sad, Xinxin. I know you've worked hard. Well, I'll go talk to Dad. "
At this moment, a loud noise came from the living room, followed by Wang Xu's angry roar: "Who knocked down your mother's photo frame?!" "
Wang Tao and Liu Xin hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, only to see Wang Xuzheng's face blue with anger, and a broken photo frame lying on the ground, which contained a photo of Wang Lin.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry, I'll clean it up." Liu Xin hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the pieces.
However, Wang Xu pushed Liu Xin away violently, "Don't touch it!" You, an outsider, don't even let go of your mother-in-law's relics? "
These words completely ignited Wang Tao's anger. He stood in front of his wife and looked his father in the eye, his voice trembling with suppressed anger: "Dad! You've gone too far! Why do this to Shin Shin? She's always treated you like your biological father, but what about you? Since Mom left, you've been a different person! "
The living room fell silent, save for the ticking of the wall clock echoing in the air. Wang Xu was stunned, as if awakened by his son's words. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.
Suddenly, Wang Xu's tears burst out of his eyes. He sat down on the sofa and choked up: "Your mother is gone, and I have nothing." When I see you happy, I can't help but be jealous. I know I shouldn't be like this, but I can't help myself......"
These words made Wang Tao and Liu Xin suddenly realize that their father-in-law's abnormal behavior stemmed from the longing for his deceased wife and his desire for happiness. The grievance in Liu Xin's heart instantly turned into distress, she gently squatted beside her father-in-law and held his hand: "Father-in-law, you don't have nothing. You still have us. I know that I will never be able to take my mother-in-law's place, but I will do my best to take care of you, just like when my mother-in-law was there. "
Wang Xu looked up at his daughter-in-law, his eyes were full of guilt, "Xinxin, I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have done that to you......"
After learning about her father-in-law's inner pain, Liu Xin began to change her strategy. She began to consciously share the affairs of the family with her father-in-law, so that his father-in-law could feel the warmth of being needed again.
One morning, Liu Xin knocked on her father-in-law's door, "Father-in-law, I want to ask you something." "
Wang Xu looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise, "What's the matter?" "
Liu Xin smiled and said, "I want to learn the braised pork that my mother-in-law used to make, can you teach me?" I remember your favorite braised pork made by your mother-in-law. "
Wang Xu's eyes lit up suddenly, "Of course you can." Your mother has a secret to making braised pork......"
In this way, Liu Xin and Wang Xu began "cooking classes" again and again. In this process, Wang Xu unconsciously opened his heart and began to share his past with his daughter-in-law.
"You know what, Shin Shin? The first time your mother cooked braised pork, she almost burned the kitchen. A long-lost smile appeared on Wang Xu's face, "At that time, we had just gotten married......
Liu Xin listened attentively and asked some questions from time to time, so that her father-in-law was immersed in good memories. She also often mentions her mother-in-law's affairs and reminisces about those warm past events with her father-in-law.
Gradually, Wang Xu's mood began to improve, and his attitude towards Liu Xin gradually softened. One day, when Liu Xin walked into the restaurant with a plate of fragrant braised pork, Wang Xu suddenly stood up and said solemnly: "Xinxin, Dad wants to apologize to you." "
Liu Xin was stunned, and hurriedly put the plate on the table, "Father-in-law, ...... are you?"
Wang Xu took a deep breath, "I want to apologize to you for my previous behavior." I shouldn't have done that to you, I was wrong. After your mother-in-law left, I felt like the whole world had changed. But now I understand that her love has always been there, and it is reflected in the care you have taken care of me. "
Liu Xin listened to her father-in-law's words, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She stepped forward and hugged her father-in-law gently, "Father-in-law, I understand your feelings. The mother-in-law is gone, and we are all sad. But we are a family, and we need to support each other and get through this together. "
Wang Tao stood aside, looking at this warm scene, his heart was full of emotion. He stepped forward and joined the hug, "Dad, we'll always be family. "
From that day on, the atmosphere of the Wang family became noticeably warmer. Wang Xu learned to express his feelings and no longer hide his sadness in his heart. He began to take the initiative to participate in family activities, and sometimes prepared meals with Liu Xin, as if he wanted to make up for the lost time.
One night, the whole family sat around the table and enjoyed a delicious dinner. Wang Xu suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked around, and showed a relieved smile on his face: "Do you know? I finally understand what your mom used to say. "
Liu Xin and Wang Tao looked at him curiously, "Dad, what did Mom say?" "
Wang Xu smiled and said: "She always said, 'Home is not about how big it is, but how warm it is.'" Now I feel that this home, because of you, is really warm. "
Hearing this, Liu Xin and Wang Tao both choked up a little. Wang Tao raised his glass, "Come, let's toast to our home!" "
Three cups collide in the air with a crisp sound. In this moment, they all felt the warmth and strength of home. Although she lost an important member, Wang Lin's love will always remain, and it has become the bond that holds the family together.
As night fell, warm lights shone through the windows of Wang's house. Inside the house, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, as if telling the harmony and happiness that this family had regained after experiencing the wind and rain.
