But Spring Festival only comes once a year," Xiao Ming looked at her and said earnestly.Zh: 就在此时，李娟的手机响了。En: At that moment, Li Juan's phone rang.Zh: 是女儿小美打来的。En: It was her daughter Xiao Mei calling.Zh: “妈妈，你什么时候回来呀？我好想您。”电话另一头，小美兴高采烈。En: "Mom, when are you coming back? I miss you so much," Xiao Mei said cheerfully on the other end of the line.Zh: 李娟的心里一暖，女儿的声音轻轻触动了她心底最柔软的部分。En: Li Juan's heart warmed; her daughter's voice gently touched the softest part of her heart.Zh: “对不起，小美，妈妈有点忙。”她心里很难过。En: "I'm sorry, Xiao Mei, mommy is a bit busy," she felt quite sad inside.Zh: 挂了电话后，李娟陷入了深深的沉思。En: After hanging up the phone, Li Juan fell into deep thought.Zh: 她一直以来都把事业放在第一位，错过了很多家庭时光。En: She had always put her career first, missing out on a lot of family time.Zh: 现在，小美的这通电话让她重新审视了自己的优先次序。En: Now, this call from Xiao Mei prompted her to reassess her priorities.Zh: “我要回去。”李娟下定决心，声音坚定。En: "I want to go back," Li Juan made up her mind, her voice firm.Zh: 小明微微一笑：“我想，你做了个很好的选择。”En: Xiao Ming smiled slightly, "I think you made a very good choice."Zh: 李娟决定和家人一同过年，并将会议重新安排。En: Li Juan decided to spend the holiday with her family and reschedule the meeting.Zh: 她意识到，家庭的幸福比任何事业成就都重要。En: She realized that family happiness is more important than any career accomplishment.Zh: 或许，只有这样的平衡，才是真正的成功。En: Perhaps only this kind of balance is true success.Zh: 机场的广播继续播报着航班信息，但李娟的心已经不再摇摆。En: The airport broadcast continued announcing flight information, but Li Juan's heart was no longer wavering.Zh: 在这个冰雪覆盖的冬季，她得到了心灵的温暖和新的启示。En: In this snow-covered winter, she gained warmth and new insight for her soul.Zh: 随着李娟踏上回家的旅途，她发誓要珍惜每一个与家人共度的时刻，让自己的生活更加完整。En: As Li Juan embarked on her journey home, she vowed to cherish every moment spent with her family, making her ...
