Zh: 梅围着围裙，忙着准备冬至家宴。 En: Mei, wearing an apron, was busy preparing the winter solstice family feast. Zh: 她是姐姐，觉得自己有责任让家人保持在一起。 En: As the elder sister, she felt it was her responsibility to keep the family together. Zh: 妹妹莲在房间里，离厨房远远的。 En: Her younger sister, Lian, was in her room, far from the kitchen. Zh: 她不喜欢按照传统过节，而哥哥建远在国外工作，这次梅特意邀请他参加冬至团圆饭。 En: She didn’t like celebrating holidays according to tradition, and their brother, Jianyuan, was working abroad. Zh: En: This time, Mei specifically invited him to join the winter solstice reunion dinner. Zh: 梅打了一个电话给建：“哥，今年冬至回来吧？大家都很想你。” En: Mei made a phone call to Jian, “Bro, come back for the winter solstice this year? 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.

Zh: 明和佳在天坛前停下脚步，冷风裹挟着回忆扑面而来。 En: Ming and Jia paused in front of the Temple of Heaven, the cold wind carrying memories rushing over them. Zh: 许多年未见，他们此刻站在一起，是为了逝去的父亲。 En: After many years apart, they stood together now, for their deceased father. Zh: 明是一个沉思的人，他常常后悔未能和父亲和解。 En: Ming was a reflective person, often regretting not reconciling with his father. Zh: 冬至这天，他和佳站在青瓦红墙间，心情沉重。 En: On this winter solstice, he and Jia stood amidst the green tiles and red walls, feeling heavy-hearted.

Zh: 家族仪式是她的责任，更是一种希望。 En: The family ritual was her responsibility, and also a form of hope. Zh: 明点点头，尽管他的内心充满挣扎。 En: Ming nodded, though he was filled with internal struggle. Zh: 过去的误解让他犹豫不决。 En: Past misunderstandings made him hesitant. Zh: 害怕自己无法尽到责任，他在心底与自己的负罪感挣扎。 En: Afraid of failing his responsibilities, he wrestled with his feelings of guilt. Zh: “你知道父亲生前一直希望我们团结在一起。”佳轻声说，“冬至是个好机会。” En: "You know father always wished for us to unite," Jia softly said, "The winter solstice is a good opportunity." Zh: 他们在广场上走着，冬日的阳光洒在他们身上。 En: They walked across the square, the winter sun shining on them. Zh: 佳停下脚步，转向明：“我也有很多心结，我希望你能理解我。” En: Jia stopped and turned to Ming: "I also have many concerns; I hope you can understand me." Zh: 明吃惊地看着她，随后叹了口气。 En: Ming looked at her in surprise and then sighed. Zh: “我很抱歉，很多事情都是我的错。” En: "I'm sorry; a lot of it is my fault." Zh: 佳摇了摇头，“我们都需要原谅自己，原谅彼此。” En: Jia shook her head, "We both need to forgive ourselves and each other." Zh: 他们停在祭坛前，点上香，向天地神灵祈祷。 En: They stopped before the altar, lit incense, and prayed to the heavenly deities. Zh: 随着一缕缕烟雾升起，他们的心也渐渐平静。 En: As wisps of smoke rose, their hearts gradually calmed. Zh: 明想起小时候，全家一同来这儿，父亲微笑着告诉他们关于冬至的故事。 En: Ming recalled coming here as a child with the family, hearing his father smile and tell them stories about the winter solstice. Zh: 那一刻，过去与未来似乎交织在一起。 En: In that moment, the past and future seemed intertwined. Zh: 明觉察到一种不曾有过的安宁。 En: Ming felt a peace he had never known before. Zh: 他和佳交换了一个默契的微笑，所有的误解和遗憾仿佛都在这一刻消散。 En: He and Jia exchanged a knowing smile, and all misunderstandings and regrets seemed to dissolve in that instant. Zh: 仪式结束后，明对佳说：“我们要保持联系。” En: After the ceremony, Ming said to Jia: "We need to stay in touch." Zh: 佳微笑着点头，“家庭是最重要的。” En: Jia smiled and nodded, "Family is the most important." Zh: 在这片古老的土地上，两个曾经疏远的兄妹重拾亲情。 En: On this ancient land, the once estranged brother and sister rediscovered their familial bond. Zh: 他们承诺，今后不再让误解和距离阻碍他们。 En: They promised not to let misunderstandings and distance come between them again. Zh: 尽管寒风依旧，心中却涌动着温暖。 En: Despite the continued cold wind, warmth flowed through their hearts. Zh: 明放下了心中的负担，他明白了，家庭的团结原来如此强大。 En: Ming set down his burden, realizing the incredible strength of family unity. Zh: 佳也意识到，脆弱与宽恕才是真正的力量。 En: Jia also understood that vulnerability and forgiveness were true strengths. Zh: 于是，他们肩并肩，走向天坛外，迎接新的明天。 En: Thus, side by side, they walked out of the Temple of Heaven, ready to embrace a new tomorrow.
