I have a dream since I was a child, that is to be an excellent nurse, because I think it is a very happy thing to help others.
Life at home is dull and happy, and my parents love us very much.
One day, my brother and I went to visit my grandparents, and my mother was busy. Sitting in my grandparents’ house, my brother suddenly said to me, "Xiaoya, why do you always want to’ act’ so much?" .
I was a little surprised, thought about it, and then smiled and asked, "Why not? I just want to do what I want to do.
Brother sighed, shook his head and said, "Sometimes, you have to listen to other people’s opinions. After all, mom and dad want us to understand and respect each other.
I gave a sigh of disapproval, but I was still dissatisfied with my brother’s words. I think, why can’t I do what I like? Why do you always have to bow to others sometimes? .
When I got home, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. Mom and dad saw it in their eyes and came to ask me what had happened.
Dad said to me, "Xiaoya, in fact, you and your brother are right." Sometimes, we need to listen to other people’s opinions, but at the same time we should stick to our own ideas.
I paused, thinking about my father’s words, and felt a little relieved.
"Xiaoya, you hurry to do your thing, and we also believe that you can make the right decision." Mom said with a smile.
I nodded, feeling very warm about my parents’ support. Perhaps, my brother and I have the right idea, but we just look at the problem from different angles.
Growing up, these small contradictions between my brother and me have made me more deeply aware of how important understanding and respect among family members are.
However, I also hope that people around me can understand and respect me more. After all, in a harmonious family, everyone should have an equal say.
That night, I suddenly felt a sharp abdominal pain, which made me unable to keep back. Mom and dad rushed me to the hospital.
This sudden news made my family panic. I saw my parents’ anxious eyes, and my brother silently squeezed my hand.
The operation was successful, but the recovery period after operation needed the care of family members. Mom and dad are busy with their work, and only my brother is by my side 24 hours a day, taking care of everything.
"Xiaoya, why are you picking on me again?" My brother said to me angrily.
I also shouted back a little out of control: "I didn’t mean to, I just think you took care of me in the wrong way!" "
Mom and dad heard the noise and came in. They were silent for a while. Dad said, "Xiaoya, you shouldn’t do this to your brother. He has tried his best to take care of you.
"But …" I am awkward.
My mother took my hand and said softly, "We are all family members and should understand and tolerate each other. Although my brother is a little immature, he has always been good for you.
I was silent and remembered my brother’s hard work during this time. Perhaps I am really too picky. My family has paid a lot for me, but I have given them a lot of worries.
Although I am aware of my fault, I don’t know how to change my deep stubbornness of wanting to "act".
During this time, although the contradiction between my brother and me has been alleviated, this stubbornness in my heart has always upset me.
After all, a person’s deep personality weakness is the most difficult to change.
Time passed slowly, and I worked as an intern in the hospital and came into contact with many patients and medical staff. I found that when a person suffers from diseases, he always needs the companionship and care of his family.
One day, when I came home, I found my brother’s face was not very good. I asked him what had happened, and he faltered and said that it was nothing serious.
Not long after, I overheard the conversation between my mother and father in the living room. It turned out that my brother had been in poor health recently, fearing that he had a serious illness. He never told me so as not to worry me.
I decided to have a good talk with him.
"Elder brother, how are you? Why didn’t you tell me you were in poor health? " I sat by his bed and asked softly.
My brother looked embarrassed and said, "Xiaoya, I’m just a little sick, don’t worry."
"No, mom said you haven’t been well recently. You won’t go to the hospital without telling us, will you?" I asked anxiously.
My brother was silent for a while before telling me that he went to the hospital recently and found himself suffering from a serious disease and needed treatment.
"Elder brother, why didn’t you tell me? Family members should not hide it. " I said some angrily.
"I’m sorry, Xiaoya, I don’t want to worry you, and I’m afraid my illness will cause trouble to my family." Brother’s tone is low.
I thought of some small contradictions with my brother before, and suddenly I felt a little guilty. Perhaps, my personality was a little strong before, which made him feel unwilling to share it.
Just then, my mother came in. She saw the scene of the two of us and smiled and said, "What’s wrong with you two?"
My brother and I smiled at each other, and I said firmly, "No, mom, from now on, there will be no more contradictions between our families."
Mother looked at us tenderly, nodded and said, "Yes, families should understand each other, support each other and face the difficulties in life together.
My brother and I hold each other’s hands and deeply understand the importance of family. Even if there are some small contradictions, they can’t stop our concern and love for each other.
After all, affection is the most sincere emotion.
My brother and I seem to have made some progress in running-in, but new contradictions are coming quietly.
This has greatly changed the life at home. My father has to be busy taking care of my mother, and I have begun to do my best to share the housework.
However, my brother doesn’t seem to understand this change. He feels that he should give priority to his work, but housework is not within his consideration, which makes me somewhat dissatisfied.
When I argued with him, he said that he felt that it was not his responsibility to take care of things at home, but mine. After all, he was an elder brother and had more important things to do.
Mom and dad also had a dispute. Dad hoped that his brother could share more responsibilities for the family, but his brother felt that his choice was not wrong.
As a result, I began to be more suspicious of the question "Why do some women always want to’ act’". Perhaps the contradiction between my brother and me is actually due to different understandings of family responsibilities and roles.
Perhaps it is empathy, and my brother seems to have become more tolerant in the following days. And I also entered the nursing school with the encouragement of my parents, which is a step closer to my dream.
But just when I was working hard for my dream, new contradictions occurred at home. This time, it was the relationship between father and grandmother that went wrong.
Grandma suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. Because of physical reasons, she needs someone to take care of her, but she is unwilling to accept foreign nurses.
From taking care of grandma, dealing with trivial matters at home to work, dad is almost busy. I see it in my eyes, but my heart still hurts my father.
However, grandma’s condition deteriorated day by day, and her mood became more and more eccentric. Sometimes, it is obvious that everyone cares about her, but she is always angry. She looks at her father and says, "You are a big man, and you can’t even handle this matter well!" Every time I hear such words, my father is silent.
This kind of life lasted for some time, and the originally peaceful family atmosphere became tense. I discussed this matter with my brother, and he was also very uneasy about his father’s situation.
But there’s nothing we can do.
Perhaps, the relationship between families always needs to face various challenges. Just like the small contradiction between my brother, my parents and me, we all need to understand and respect.
Home is about love, but also about tolerance and understanding. I believe that no matter what difficulties and contradictions we encounter, we can overcome them.
