My name is Li Hong and I am 55 years old this year. Thirty years ago, I married Zhang Dawei, and since then we have been married ever since.
Zhang Dawei is a decent and steady person, although he is not good at words, he has always been very good to me. After we got married, although we had a tight life, our relationship has always been good. Zhang Dawei worked hard, I took care of the housework at home, and we supported each other and spent simple but warm years.
Five years later, I gave birth to our son, named Xiaowei. The birth of Xiaowei is the greatest happiness for us. In order to raise Xiaowei, our husband and wife worked harder and lived a well-off life. We have always adhered to the principle of equality and mutual love and raised children together.
"Wife, Xiaowei has been admitted to a key high school, we should celebrate!" One day, Zhang Dawei said to me happily.
"Yes, our son is so proud. In the evening, I cook a few delicious foods, and we have a good family together. "I'm also very happy.
That night, the family gathered happily, and Zhang Dawei looked at our mother and son with a smile on his face.
"Dad, Mom, thank you for nurturing me all these years. I will definitely study hard Xi, get into a good university, and then find a good job so that you can rely on your old age. "Xiaowei is very sensible and filial.
"Son, as long as you are healthy and happy, we as parents are already very content. Zhang Dawei said gently.
After dinner, our family of three watched TV, which was warm and cozy. I feel incredibly happy and satisfied, and this is the life I want.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaowei has graduated from college. He got a good job, and later met a beautiful and kind girl, Xiaofang. Zhang Dawei and I are also very satisfied with Xiaofang's daughter-in-law, and feel that she will be a virtuous and good daughter-in-law.
Soon, Xiaowei married Xiaofang. After they got married, they first lived with us for a while and then moved to their new house. Although we occasionally feel empty and lonely, we are more happy for our son.
"Wife, our son has started a family, and it will be the two of us in the future. "One night, I leaned into Zhang Dawei's arms and said.
"Yes, we're getting old, so it's time to enjoy our family. Zhang Dawei said with a smile.
"So where are we going to go together when we retire?" I asked happily.
"I'll go wherever my wife says!" Zhang Dawei hugged me tight, and we warmed up for a while.
And just like that, my husband and wife began their retirement. We would go for a walk in the park, go to the supermarket to buy groceries, and watch TV and chat in the evening. Life is simple, but we are content.
Until one day, Zhang Dawei suddenly fainted at home. In a panic, I called an ambulance and accompanied Zhang Dawei to the hospital. After the examination, the doctor told me that Zhang Dawei had a cerebral hemorrhage, which was in serious condition and needed to be hospitalized.
I'm stupid, Zhang Dawei has always been very healthy, how could he suddenly get such a serious illness?
"Doctor, how long will it take for my husband's illness to heal? I asked anxiously.
"Depending on the progression of the disease, you may need to stay in the hospital for a month for treatment and observation. The doctor said.
I stayed in the hospital every day to take care of Zhang Dawei's daily life. He couldn't move on his own anymore, so I was there to take care of him.
"Wife, I'm so sorry to make you tired. Zhang Dawei said to me weakly.
"Just concentrate on healing, and I'll be with you all the time. I held his hand in distress.
In this way, I went out early and returned late every day to take care of Zhang Dawei in the hospital. Xiaowei and Xiaofang also come to visit often, but the main energy is still borne by me. I can see that Xiaofang also feels very sorry for Zhang Dawei and will help me share some of the work of taking care of him.
A month later, Zhang Dawei's condition improved and he was able to be discharged from the hospital. But the doctor said he still needed to recuperate, could not move on his own, and needed regular care.
"Mom, you've lived with Dad for decades, so you should be tired. During this time, you don't take care of Dad, let Dad come to live in our house, and Xiaofang and I will take good care of him. Xiaowei said to me.
I hesitated, it is true that I am very tired from taking care of Zhang Dawei during this time, but I will not be used to taking care of my wife suddenly Xi stop taking care of my wife.
"Son, you and Xiaofang also have to work, I'd better go back and take care of your father. I said.
"Mom, you're old too, and you need a good rest. We'll hire a caregiver, so don't worry about it. Xiaowei insisted.
"Mom, I think it's better for you to go home and take care of your uncle, Xiaowei and I also have to work during the day, and the nurses are not as careful as you. My uncle's illness requires careful care. Xiao Fang chimed in.
"Xiaofang, don't talk nonsense! I've already discussed it with you, just do what I say!" Xiao Wei lost his temper with Xiao Fang.
"Son, don't be angry with Xiaofang. I know you're well-intentioned, but your dad needs me to take care of you. I'll take care of him, you and Xiaofang just need to concentrate on work. "I advise Xiaowei.
"Mom, you really don't listen to me, do you have to take care of Dad?" Xiaowei was angry.
"Son, I know you care about me, but my father has been sick in bed for so many years, how can I just leave him alone? I can't leave your dad when he needs me the most. You and Xiaofang should know that you will also grow old in the future, and you will also need the care and companionship of your children at that time. I said to Xiaowei resolutely.
Xiaowei wanted to say something, but when he saw my resolute expression, he stopped insisting. I knew he was saying this because he was worried about me, and I was very touched.
So, Zhang Dawei returned to our home. I take good care of his daily life and diet day and night, and cook him home-cooked meals that he likes to eat. Zhang Dawei's body is also slowly improving, and he can get out of bed and move, but I am still nervous all the time, for fear that something will happen to him again.
"Wife, I'm much better now, you don't have to guard me every day, take care of yourself. Zhang Dawei said to me.
"You have just been discharged from the hospital, how can I rest assured? Don't talk about this, just rest well. I replied softly.
In fact, I am really tired and tired these days, I can't sleep well at night, and I am worried during the day. But when I thought about Zhang Dawei's condition, I left my feelings behind.
One day, Xiaofang came to visit Zhang Dawei and brought us a lot of supplements and nutritional products.
"Mother-in-law, you have lost a lot of weight recently, you must have worked too hard to take care of your uncle. You also have to eat a little more of these things, don't wear yourself out. Xiao Fang said to me thoughtfully.
"Xiaofang, thank you, in fact, I'm fine, taking care of your uncle is what I should do. I said gratefully.
"Mother-in-law, you must pay attention to your body. Otherwise, when your uncle is well and you fall ill, he will blame himself. Xiao Fang persuaded me.
I nodded, very pleased with Xiaofang's thoughtfulness. Unlike Xiaowei, Xiaofang can understand my intentions.
That night, Xiaowei also came to visit his father. After dinner, Xiaofang took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and I chatted with Xiaowei alone.
"Mom, you look tired lately, are you okay?" Xiaowei asked with concern.
"I'm fine, maybe taking care of your dad hasn't rested well these days. I said.
"Actually, I forced you to do that before, and I also hope that you can rest more. It's just that I didn't say it in the right way, and I made you angry, I'm really sorry. Xiaowei blamed himself a little.
"Son, I understand your kindness, but your dad really needs me by his side now. When his condition is stabilized, I will take proper care of myself, so you don't have to worry too much. I said mildly to Xiaowei.
"Then you should also pay attention to rest, don't work too hard. Just let me know if you need anything and I'll do my best to help. Xiaowei nodded.
I smiled and patted Xiaowei's hand, he has grown up and can take care of people.
In this way, as the days passed, I persevered in taking care of Zhang Dawei. Sometimes late at night, when he is asleep, I will sit quietly on the edge of the bed, looking at his sleeping face, and my heart is full of emotion and reluctance. Our husband and wife have such a good relationship, but the rhythm of life was interrupted by this sudden illness. I often think about the bits and pieces of our youth, and my heart is full of nostalgia.
Three months later, Zhang Dawei's body basically recovered and he could live on his own. I was secretly relieved that I had barely rested during this time, and now I can finally put my mind at ease.
"Wife, I'm much better now, and it's all up to you to take care of me. I know you've had a hard time during this time, I'm so sorry. Zhang Dawei blamed himself a little.
"It's my greatest comfort that you're all right. I'm fine, as long as you're healthy. I said, holding his hand.
"Then we still have a long retirement day, I will take good care of myself and live with you until I am old. Zhang Dawei said to me with a smile.
"Then let's go for a walk and get some exercise. "I happily proposed.
"Okay, let's go to the park we used to go to. Zhang Dawei agreed.
"Wife, we have finally come to this day, I really want to cherish the time with you. Zhang Dawei said with emotion.
"Me too, and after going through this, I know how important you are to me. I will always be with you. I replied with a smile.
After returning home, Xiaofang called to greet Zhang Dawei's condition. I happily told her that Zhang Dawei had basically recovered.
"Great, mother-in-law, you must have taken care of your uncle to make his condition better. Xiao Fang said happily.
"It's not just me, but you and Xiaowei's concern. Together, we can overcome any difficulties as a family. I said with emotion.
After hanging up the phone, I sat next to Zhang Dawei, my heart full of gratitude. Being able to get through this difficult time with my family is the happiest thing in my life. I will always cherish this emotion and happiness.
In this way, under the careful care of me, Xiaowei and Xiaofang, Zhang Dawei's body gradually recovered. Now that he can do some simple chores on his own, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
One day, Xiaofang came to the house to help me make dinner. After preparing a hearty meal, she smiled and said to me, "Mother-in-law, you have worked hard for so long, so take a good rest today, and let me do the dinner and cleaning." You go and talk to your uncle. ”
"Then you're welcome. Xiaofang, thank you!" I clapped her hand gratefully.
After dinner, Xiaofang began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. I helped Zhang Dawei to the balcony to drink tea and chat.
"Wife, we have raised such a good son and daughter-in-law, God really treats me well. Zhang Dawei said with emotion.
"Yes, I feel very happy and satisfied to have them by our side. I said with a smile.
"Especially Xiaofang, this girl is really good-hearted, let's rely on her more in the future. Zhang Dawei said approvingly.
"I also like Xiaofang, she is very virtuous and capable, and very filial, and she is a good daughter-in-law of our family. I nodded.
We were chatting about family life, and gradually it was getting dark. After finishing the housework, Xiaofang came to say goodbye to us.
"Mother-in-law, you have a good rest today, and call me if you need anything. I'll go back first. Xiao Fang said with a smile.
"Be careful on the road, you've worked hard today. I admonished.
After seeing Xiaofang leave, Zhang Dawei and I looked at each other and smiled. To have such a caring daughter-in-law, we as parents are really gratified.
"That's good, Mom, you should also pay attention to rest, don't overwork. If you need anything, just mention it, and I'll do my best to support it. Xiaowei instructed me.
"Good boy, I'm relieved to know that you care about me. I said with emotion.
After chatting with Xiaowei, I sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhang Dawei. He seems to have aged a lot after this illness, but I still love him as much as I did when I was younger.
"Wife, our husband and wife have such a good relationship, it's really a blessing from cultivation. I will always be with you and spend the rest of my life with you. I said softly to Zhang Dawei.
"Wife, I will always love you and thank you for not leaving me in my most difficult time. Zhang Dawei held my hand with affectionate eyes.
"You've been sick in bed for so long, and I feel distressed in my eyes. Now that you're healed, I'm happier than anything else. "My eyes were filled with tears, too.
"Come, the weather is so nice today, let's go downstairs and soak up the sun. Zhang Dawei proposed.
"Okay, let's go out for a walk and get some fresh air. I happily agreed.
So, my husband and wife came to the community garden with their support. We're familiar with the scenery here, but the sun and breeze are still very pleasant.
"Wife, it's good that we live together in this kind of community after we retire. Zhang Dawei said with emotion.
"As long as you are by my side, I feel happy everywhere. I laughed.
"Then let's go out for a walk, bask in the sun more, and stay healthy. Zhang Dawei said.
"Okay, I'll be with you. I nodded.
In this way, my husband and wife began a new life after retirement. I will take Zhang Dawei out for activities and exercise regularly. His health is also getting better day by day, and he is much more energetic.
One day, Xiaofang came to the house as a guest.
"Mother-in-law, you seem to be more energetic. It's nice that my uncle isn't as weak as he used to be. Xiao Fang said happily.
"It's all thanks to you and Xiaowei's care, which makes you worried. I said gratefully.
"That's what we're supposed to do. Your health and peace is our greatest wish. Xiao Fang said with a smile.
"Xiaofang, you and Xiaowei are our nobles, if you need anything in the future, just mention it. Zhang Dawei also expressed his gratitude to Xiaofang.
"You're laughing, uncle. We are a family like one, and you and your mother-in-law are my relatives. Xiao Fang said shyly.
I was very moved when I heard it, Xiaofang is indeed as filial to our husband and wife as her own daughter.
Since then, Xiaofang has often visited us, often bringing her own food or inviting us to her house.
With her and Xiaowei here, I feel that life has become warmer and more hopeful for the future. After this illness, I cherish the time I spend with my family even more. I believe that with the care of our children, Zhang Dawei and I will be able to complete our life journey happily.
