Every time, I’m the one holding up things at home.”Zh: 她说完,用筷子拨弄着碗里的饺子,不再看明。En: After speaking, she poked at the jiaozi in her bowl with her chopsticks, no longer looking at Ming.Zh: 明放下了筷子,深吸一口气,正视着莉。他知道这个时刻迟早要来。En: Ming put down his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and looked Li in the eye. He knew this moment was inevitable.Zh: 他诚恳地说:“莉,对不起,这些年我没有尽到哥哥的责任。我知道你付出了很多,承担了很多。我也很想回家,但是每次想到家里的负担,我觉得无从下手。”En: Sincerely, he said, “Li, I’m sorry I haven’t fulfilled my duties as a brother these years. I know you've given and taken on a lot. I also want to come home, but every time I think of the burden at home, I feel lost.”Zh: 花见气氛有些紧张,赶紧插话道:“我们都希望能多一些时间在一起,毕竟今天是冬至,团圆很重要。”En: Hua, sensing the tension, quickly interjected, “We all hope to spend more time together, especially since today is the winter solstice, and reunion is important.”Zh: 明继续说道:“我这次回来就是想告诉你,我会试着改变,更多参与家里的事。我知道不是一句话就能解决的,但我会努力。”En: Ming continued, “I came back this time to tell you that I'll try to change and be more involved with family affairs.

Everyone misses you.”Zh: 建犹豫了一下,点了头说:“好吧,我请假试试。”En: Jian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll try to take leave."Zh: 莲则不愿意参与,她觉得这些都是老一辈的期待。En: Lian was unwilling to participate; she felt these were just the expectations of the older generation.Zh: 梅走到她面前,轻声说:“你可以不用穿传统服装,这次更随意些。”En: Mei approached her and softly said, “You don’t have to wear traditional clothing this time, be more casual.”Zh: 莲看着姐姐,勉强地点了头,但她心里还是有些不快。En: Lian looked at her sister and reluctantly nodded, but still felt a bit displeased inside.Zh: 终于到了冬至夜,梅的小家在皑皑白雪中显得格外温馨。En: Finally, it was winter solstice night, and Mei's small home appeared particularly warm amidst the snowy landscape.Zh: 桌上摆满了饺子、汤圆和各种传统菜肴。En: The table was filled with jiaozi, tangyuan, and various traditional dishes.Zh: 这是梅精心准备的,希望能让建和莲感到家的味道。En: These were carefully prepared by Mei, hoping to give Jian and Lian a taste of home.Zh: 饭桌上,大家一开始还挺和谐。En: At the dining table, everyone initially got along well.Zh: 梅努力调节气氛,不断地为大家夹菜。En: Mei tried hard to set the mood, continuously serving food to everyone.Zh: 突然,莲打破了沉默:“我们不应该老是这样回忆过去,做些无谓的期待吧?”En: Suddenly, Lian broke the silence, "Shouldn't we stop always reminiscing about the past and having pointless expectations?"Zh: 建也停下筷子,皱起眉头:“这就是我不喜欢回来的原因,每次都这样吵。”En: Jian also put down his chopsticks, frowning, "That's why I don't like coming back; it's always like this, arguing."Zh: 梅深吸一口气,她知道必须说些什么。En: Mei took a deep breath, knowing she had to say something.Zh: “我们是家人,过去的误会应该弄清楚。En: “We are family; past misunderstandings should be clarified.Zh: 我们都是在乎彼此的。”En: We all care about each other.”Zh: 在她的引导下,三人最终在灯下慢慢敞开了心扉,说出了心里的不满和期望。En: Guided by her, the three eventually opened up under the light, expressing their grievances and expectations.Zh: 是夜,虽有争吵,更多的是让彼此更加理解的沟通。En: Though there were arguments that night, there was also communication that led to better understanding.Zh: 家宴结束后,建说:“以后,我会尽量多回来。”En: After the family feast, Jian said, “In the future, I’ll try to come back more often.”Zh: 莲也放下了心中的不满:“我会常联系,不是为了传统,而是因为我也想知道大家的生活。”En: Lian also let go of her discontent, “I’ll keep in touch more, not because of tradition, but because I want to know about everyone’s lives.”Zh: 梅松了一口气,她明白自己不能控制一切,但可以通过理解和耐心让家人走得更近。En: Mei breathed a sigh of relief, realizing she couldn't control everything, but through understanding and patience, she could bring the family closer together.Zh: 雪还在下,屋内却充满了温暖的笑声和尘封消融的情感。En: The snow continued to fall, but indoors, it was filled with warm laughter and feelings once sealed away melting away.Zh: 这个冬至夜,他们又多了一份理解,少了一份隔阂。En: This winter solstice night, they gained more understanding and lessened their estrangement.
