After marriage, everything was very happy, Xiaoming was promoted and raised, and became a department manager. He was also more considerate to me, often buying my favorite snacks and snacks after work, and then driving me to the riverside to see the night view.
I couldn't help but blush and complained, "Oh, you know how to say something shameful." Then he couldn't help but giggle again, looking forward to the date he mentioned.
Our marriage has always been happy and sweet, and even small frictions will be quickly adjusted. I feel like I'm married to the most considerate husband in the world, and I'm really glad I chose to be with him in the first place.
I approached Xiaoming to discuss, hoping that he could contribute some money to help share my mother's medical expenses.
"Xiaoming, look, the cost of Mom's treatment for this disease is too high, both of us don't have enough savings, and you have a lot of money to make in good health, can you share half of it?" I pleaded.
I painfully discovered that Xiaoming's outlook on life and values had deviated. I value my feelings more and I care more about my family; And he obviously cares more about career and interests.
We started arguing a lot about money. I cried and begged him to help share my mother's expenses, but he coldly refused.
"If you make more money, there is only one mother!" I cried.
"The company's big project is going to run, and you think the money is picked up on the side of the road!" Xiaoming didn't care.
Xiaoming's relationship with me is getting farther and farther away. Xiaoming is busy with work all day long and rarely goes home; Even when I came back, my face was expressionless, and I was cold.
One day, I couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and called Xiaoming to ask him what time he could come back for dinner in the evening.
"Don't pester me every day, I'm busy!" Xiaoming said impatiently. I was so aggrieved that I hung up the phone crying.
Later, it was revealed through a friend that Xiaoming may have another woman outside. I did my research privately and finally confirmed the news. It turned out that a front desk lady in Xiaoming's company had already lived together.
I was in great pain, so I confronted Xiaoming directly.
"Xiaoming, I have investigated your cheating very clearly. Our marriage can't last, let's get a divorce. "I broke down and cried.
Only then did Xiaoming realize the seriousness of the situation: "Don't, give me a chance to correct it, divorce is too extreme!"
"What qualifications do you have for a chance?! Our feelings are long gone!" I was heartbroken.
I looked at Xiaoming and was speechless for a moment. The bits and pieces of these years are tumbling in my mind. I remember Xiaoming's tenderness and thoughtfulness to me when we first fell in love, and I remember the sweet promise he made to me on our wedding night. I still remember choosing him because he was responsible and took care of people. However, these good memories were all extinguished by his later change of heart and derailment.
I took a deep breath and asked him with red eyes, "Xiaoming, have you ever regretted our marriage?" ”
I burst into tears. It turned out that in his heart, I had always been a burden to my career.
At this time, my mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was the news that my mother was critically ill. Xiaoming rushed to the hospital with me, and I couldn't stop crying all the way.
I looked at Xiaoming, who was taking care of my mother in front of me, and I had mixed feelings in my heart. Maybe it's human nature to make mistakes. Xiaoming is willing to take responsibility again, so why should I be demanding.
When Xiaoming said to me again, "Give me a chance", I nodded.
After her mother recovered, she went home to recuperate, and Xiaoming began to devote herself to the family according to her words. He was no longer distant, and he and I went back to a routine.
When he comes home from work in the evening, he will buy vegetables and cook; On weekends, they will accompany me to go shopping; When I have free time, I sit in front of my mother's bed and chat.
I didn't talk about the divorce again. Although I can't completely forget the pain of that cheating session, I am also trying to rebuild the trust and friendship between us.
Day after day, life returned to peace. Maybe it's a good thing to go through the storm, because it makes us re-examine the meaning of the relationship.
I've come to realize that life will inevitably have ups and downs, but walking together is the truth. No one will always be perfect, only tolerance and forgiveness can bring the heart closer.
Time flies, and another ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. There have not been many waves in the past ten years, and we have been plain and content.
Xiaoming gradually gained reuse in the company, and after being promoted to vice president, he would work overtime and be busy. It's just that unlike in the past, now he is more ambitious and no longer lets work occupy all of his life.
"Wife, the company has a new project, but we have been rarely idle recently, why don't I push it off?" Once, Xiaoming and I discussed.
"It's okay, your work is important. I laughed.
Xiaoming thought about it, but decided not to take the project and made an appointment with me to travel to the South China Sea.
When the luggage was purchased, he canceled the trip again: "I'd better take the project, it's always better to have more money." I'm going to tell my boss about going to the South China Sea. ”
People always have to go through ups and downs to grow. The original marriage turmoil made Xiaoming walk out of himself; Taught me to be tolerant; It also allows us to reflect on the nature of relationships. Love not only exists in romantic vows, but also continues in the bits and pieces of ordinary life to take care of each other.
We are now in middle age. The children who gather less and leave more have started a family, and their mother has passed away peacefully. All we are left with is the days when each other depends on each other.
"Baby, let's go to the Great Wall after we retire, okay?" After dinner, Xiaoming put his arm around my shoulder and said.
"Okay, as long as you don't get tired and stay at the hotel. I teased him like a liar.
We joked with each other, the smiling faces of the twilight years crawling with wrinkles, but they were sweeter and warmer than they were back then.
Thirty years of meritorious deeds and bitter days, I am deeply grateful to God for this fate. I am also grateful for the wind and rain in life, let us ride the wind and waves, and from then on closely depend on each other, all the way to Baishou. Life in retirement is calmer than we think.
Xiaoming left the company he had served for many years and moved with me to a remote lakeside town. We bought a small courtyard there and lived like a paradise.
At first, the change in circumstances made us all a little uncomfortable. After living in a bustling city for decades, it really takes a process to move to a small town with a quiet environment.
"Ah, this lake has a nice view! How about we buy a boat and fish on the lake?" One day, Xiaoming had a whim.
I laughed at him, "Will you sail the boat? Don't be afraid of capsizing." ”
"Then I'll hold you, I won't let you have anything to do!" Xiaoming made a joke that made me laugh.
On this day, we happily bought a small boat and staggered to catch fish on the lake. The sun shines on the water and the breeze blows gently. I leaned into Xiaoming's arms and felt that this was the beauty of life.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the ups and downs in the past that we now cherish our hard-won happiness even more. After thousands of sails, I finally got what I wanted, and Xiaoming and I walked into the twilight years hand in hand and spent the most relaxing and comfortable days of our lives.
Life here is comfortable and stable, and we just want to have fun with our families. Whenever the sun sets, Xiaoming and I sit side by side by the lake and look at the rippling blue waves, I feel extremely satisfied and peaceful.
Maybe I have experienced change and death, so happiness is more precious. In this life, I hold the hand of my son, grow old with my son, and all the despair and tears at the beginning have turned into the favorite in this life.
"Wife, I've been cramping my feet lately, it's time to buy a pair of slippers. Let's go around town. One day Xiaoming said to me.
I laughed at his cramps like an old man, and helped him to the market to buy a pair of soft-soled slippers. Xiaoming was as happy as a child, and he couldn't wait to try the effect when he put it on his feet.
"Oh, I'm a pensioner!" He grumbled. However, when he saw my smiling eyes, he also grinned happily.
The years and illnesses have left their mark on us, but the happy gaze and sweet smile never fade. After going through so many ups and downs, I now cherish the people in front of me even more.
A few more years later, my mother's 10th anniversary arrived. My husband and wife went back to the city to burn paper for our mother's grave. The cemetery was smoky, and I looked at the black-and-white photos of my mother, tears blurring my eyes.
"Mom, don't worry, Xiaoming and I are living very well now, and our lives have been sweet. "I wiped my tears and worshiped my mother.
Xiaoming stood aside, his eyes slightly red. Many years ago, when my mother was critically ill, he regained my heart. Now that ten years have passed, my mother's spirit in heaven should also be gratified.
"Let's go home. Xiaoming stroked my back and whispered.
I nodded and left the cemetery after him. In this life, he is my only support.
The years that followed were also spent in plain life, surrounded by our children and grandchildren, and the scenery was always new. Even if birth, old age, sickness and death are inescapable fate, but so what, after going through ups and downs, it is enough to get such deep love.
At the end of our lives, Xiaoming and I were lying on either side of the hospital bed, holding hands and smiling.
Xiaoming struggled to squeeze out this last sentence, and I knew that he was telling me his wish that even if the next life was still together.
I tightened my big hand, old but warm, it was the deepest attachment in my life.
I whispered softly, and together with Xiaoming, with the blessings of my children, I ended this life happily.
