Love and choices across time and space

Li Yifeng, Su Yao and Yueyue's family of three live a peaceful and happy life, but in these seemingly ordinary days, they all deeply understand the true meaning of cherishing the present.

As Yueyue grew older, the family's financial pressures increased. To provide a better life for his family, Li Yifeng worked even harder, often working overtime late into the night. Su Yao, on the other hand, devoted herself to the family, managing the household chores and paying attention to Yueyue's studies and growth.

One night, Li Yifeng once again dragged his tired body back home. Su Yao had already prepared hot meals and Yueyue was sitting at the dining table waiting for her father.

"Dad, you're finally back!" Yueyue ran over excitedly and hugged Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng picked up Yueyue and kissed her cheek: "Baby, do you miss daddy?"

"I miss you! Dad, you come back so late every day, you have to take care of yourself." Yueyue said sensibly.

Li Yifeng felt warm in his heart, put Yueyue down, walked to the dining table and sat down.

"Thank you for your hard work, wife." Li Yifeng said to Su Yao.

Su Yao smiled and said, "come on, eat your favorite food."

At the dinner table, the family was having a warm conversation. Li Yifeng looked at Su Yao's gentle smile and Yueyue's innocent look, and his heart was filled with guilt.

"I have spent too little time with you recently. I will try to spend more time with you in the future," said Li Yifeng.

Su Yao held his hand: "we know you are doing this for this family. As long as our hearts are together, it's fine."

Since then, Li Yifeng has tried to adjust his work schedule and reduce overtime. He began to cherish the time he spent with his family every day, eating and chatting. Even just sitting on the sofa watching TV together made him feel extremely happy.

On weekends, they would go to the park for a walk together and enjoy the beauty of nature. Yueyue ran and played on the grass, while Li Yifeng and Su Yao followed behind, holding hands, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Dad, Mom, come and chase me!" Yueyue's cheerful laughter echoed in the park.

Li Yifeng and Su Yao quickened their pace, caught up with Yueyue, and held her in their arms.

"Haha, I caught you!" Li Yifeng said with a smile.

The family's laughter floated over the park. At this moment, they forgot all their worries and were immersed in this simple happiness.

Li Yifeng no longer just focuses on Yueyue's grades, but is more focused on accompanying her growth. Every night, he does homework with Yueyue, patiently answers her questions, and encourages her to face difficulties bravely.

"Yueyue, as long as you work hard, no matter what the result is, mom and dad will be proud of you." Li Yifeng said.

Yueyue nodded: "Dad, I will do my best!"

Once, Yueyue participated in a speech contest at school. Before the competition, she was very nervous.

"Dad, I'm afraid I will forget the words." Yueyue said worriedly.

Li Yifeng comforted her: "Baby, don't be afraid, just say what's on your mind, mom and dad are cheering for you from the audience."

On the day of the competition, Li Yifeng and Su Yao sat in the audience, looking at Yueyue with encouraging eyes. Yueyue walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, and began her speech. Although there were some small pauses in the middle, she finally completed the speech smoothly.

After the game, Yueyue ran off the stage and threw herself into Li Yifeng's arms.

"Dad, I did it!" Yueyue said excitedly.

Li Yifeng gave a thumbs up: "Baby, you are awesome!"

The family hugged each other tightly. At this moment, they were proud of Yueyue's bravery and persistence.

As time went on, Li Yifeng's work became more and more successful. He was offered a promotion, but this meant he would be even busier. When faced with this decision, he chose to refuse without hesitation.

"I don't want to neglect my family because of work. You are the most important to me." Li Yifeng said to Su Yao.

Su Yao said with emotion: "Yifeng, I support your decision."

Although their lives were not rich, they were filled with love and warmth. They celebrated every birthday and every holiday together. In the ordinary days, they learned to be grateful and cherish each other's company.

However, there are also some small episodes in life. Once, Su Yao fell ill and needed to be hospitalized. Li Yifeng took leave and took care of her wholeheartedly.

"Wife, please get well soon. This family cannot live without you." Li Yifeng said to Su Yao while staying by the bed.

Yueyue also comes to the hospital after school every day to tell stories to her mother and make her happy.

With the care and attention of her family, Su Yao recovered quickly and was discharged from the hospital.

"After experiencing this illness, I understand more clearly how important family companionship is," Su Yao said with emotion.

As time went by, Yueyue grew into a young lady. She was admitted to her ideal university and was about to leave home to pursue her dreams.

On the day they sent Yueyue to school, Li Yifeng and Su Yao's eyes were full of reluctance.

"Yueyue, take good care of yourself outside. Call home if anything happens." Su Yao reminded.

Li Yifeng patted Yueyue's shoulder and said, "Baby, be brave and fly. Mom and Dad will always be your support."

Yueyue hugged them: "Mom and Dad, I will miss you."

Looking at Yueyue's departing back, Li Yifeng and Su Yao's hearts were filled with emotion.

"As children grow up, we must also learn to let go," said Li Yifeng.

"Yes, but as long as she is doing well, we will feel relieved." Su Yao said.

After Yueyue left home, Li Yifeng and Su Yao's life suddenly became much quieter. They began to adapt to life with only two people and recalled the past together.

"Do you still remember what Yueyue looked like when she was a child? Time flies." Su Yao said.

Li Yifeng smiled and said, "Yes, but we must also cherish the present time."

They will travel together to see the world; they will participate in community activities together to make new friends; they will cook a sumptuous dinner together at home and enjoy the romance of their own world.

One day, Li Yifeng received a letter from Yueyue, in which Yueyue shared her life in college, including both happiness and troubles.

Li Yifeng and Su Yao read the letter carefully, as if they could see Yueyue working hard in college.

"The children have grown up and have their own lives," said Li Yifeng.

Su Yao nodded: "but she will always be our baby."

On a quiet night, Li Yifeng and Su Yao sat on the balcony, looking at the starry sky.

"Dear, thank you for always being by my side." Li Yifeng said.

Su Yao leaned on his shoulder: "we will always be happy like this."

They know that life has laughter and tears, reunions and separations, but as long as they cherish the present and feel every moment with their heart, life will be full of sunshine.

As they get older, Li Yifeng and Su Yao's health is not as good as before. They began to pay more attention to their health, exercise every day, and maintain good living habits.

"We must stay healthy and enjoy a few more years of happiness," said Li Yifeng.

Su Yao smiled and said, "yes, I still have to watch Yueyue get married and start a family."

On a sunny day, Li Yifeng and Su Yao decided to redecorate their home. They picked out furniture together and designed the layout of the room together, giving the home a new look.

"This home has witnessed our love and life, and now we want to make it even warmer," said Su Yao.

After the renovation was completed, they looked at their new home and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"This is our happy little home." said Li Yifeng.

A few years later, Yueyue graduated from university and found a good job. She returned home with her boyfriend, and Li Yifeng and Su Yao welcomed them with joy.

"Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend." Yueyue introduced.

Li Yifeng and Su Yao entertained them warmly. Seeing Yueyue's happy look, they felt extremely relieved.

"As long as Yueyue likes it, we will support it." Li Yifeng said.

In the following days, Yueyue and her boyfriend's relationship became better and better, and they finally decided to get married.

At the wedding, Li Yifeng and Su Yao looked at the beautiful Yueyue and the handsome groom, their eyes filled with tears of happiness.

"My baby daughter has grown up and is about to start a new life." Su Yao said.

Li Yifeng held her hand tightly: "We wish her the best."

After the wedding, Li Yifeng and Su Yao returned home. Although they were a little tired, their hearts were filled with joy.

"This is an important moment in Yueyue's life. We should be happy for her," said Li Yifeng.

Su Yao nodded: "yes, I hope she will always be happy."

As time passed, Li Yifeng and Su Yao's hair gradually turned white, but their love remained as strong as ever. They would sit together in a rocking chair, reminiscing about the past; they would plant flowers and grass in the garden together, enjoying their leisure time; they would call Yueyue from afar to hear about her recent situation.

"I am very satisfied to have you by my side in this life," said Li Yifeng.

Su Yao smiled and said, "me too. We must always cherish days like this."

Although their lives are ordinary, they are full of love and warmth. They have used their lives to interpret the meaning of cherishing the present and to make this love last forever.
