My name is Li Dawei, I am 66 years old, and I was an ordinary factory supervisor before I retired. My life was uneventful until I met her and my world turned upside down. She is the cleaner in our community, her name is Aunt Wang, and she is actually ten years younger than me. On this day, I was standing on the balcony, watching her bend over to sweep the fallen leaves, and on a whim, I decided to propose to her.
"Aunt Wang, I want to talk to you. "I plucked up my courage.
Aunt Wang stopped what she was doing, her eyes were full of doubts: "Li Dawei, what are you looking for me?"
I took a deep breath and looked directly at her, "I want to marry you." ”
She was stunned, and then smiled: "Uncle Li, are you joking?"
"I'm serious. I said firmly.
"Before marriage, I had three conditions. She suddenly became serious.
My heart tightened: "You say." ”
"Number one, I'm not going to give up on my job. Aunt Wang affirmed, "Second, I have a daughter who is still in college, and I have to pay her own tuition." Third, you must make it clear to your son that I am not here to divide your property. ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect her to be so direct. I have a son, Li Xiaoqiang, who works in a foreign company and has never been noncommittal about my marriage.
"I'll talk to Xiaoqiang, I have no problem with your conditions. "I agreed.
At this moment, my old neighbor Lao Liu came over and overheard our conversation: "Li Dawei, are you wishful thinking? Aunt Wang is young and beautiful, you ...... the conditions."
"Lao Liu, who can say for sure about feelings?" I retorted.
That night, I called my son and told him about it.
"Dad, are you serious? You accepted all the conditions she proposed?" Li Xiaoqiang's voice was full of surprise.
"Yes, I'm serious. I said firmly.
The next day, I met Lao Wang on the bench in the community, he is my mahjong friend for many years. I told him what happened yesterday.
"Li Dawei, what are you making a fuss about? That Aunt Wang is notoriously rude. "Lao Wang persuaded me.
"Lao Wang, you don't know, she is actually very kind. I pleaded.
In the days that followed, the whole community discussed it. My relationship with Aunt Wang has also gradually developed. Occasionally, she would sit on a bench with me after cleaning and chatting. Aunt Wang's daughter, Li Jing, also began to appear in my life, she was a quiet girl, but she clearly had reservations about me, a possible future stepfather.
"Uncle Li, my mother has been working hard, and I don't want her to be hurt. Li Jing once said to me on a bench.
"Don't worry, I'll be good to your mother. I replied sincerely.
At the same time, my son Li Xiaoqiang's attitude began to become delicate. He seems
I started to worry that my relationship with Aunt Wang would bring unnecessary trouble to our family. He even came to my house one day and had a long talk with me.
"Dad, have you really thought it through? She has a daughter, and she is still working, such a family structure ......" Li Xiaoqiang's tone was worried.
"Xiaoqiang, I know what you're worried about. But I'm very happy with Aunt Wang, and it's the happiest time I've had since I retired. "I tried to get him to understand.
Li Xiaoqiang was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Dad, since you have decided, I will respect your choice." However, I want you to think about what you would do if things didn't go as smoothly as you thought. ”
I nodded, grateful to my son for his understanding and support.
As time went on, the relationship between Aunt Wang and I got better and better. We often go for walks together and go to the market to buy groceries together. Her daughter, Li Jing, was a little estranged at first, but gradually accepted me as a possible stepfather in the future.
But just as we were about to publicly announce our relationship, the problem arose. Aunt Wang's ex-husband suddenly appeared. He is a middle-aged man, with a burly figure and a stern face, and I heard that he used to be a small boss, but he divorced because of a failed business. His sudden appearance made Aunt Wang look very anxious.
"He's coming for you?" I asked worriedly.
"Yes, he said he wanted to start over and reconcile with me. Aunt Wang's face was full of contradictions.
"What do you think?" I asked nervously.
"I don't know. We had a good time, but he also hurt me. Now, I'm happy with you, and I don't want to go back in time. Aunt Wang looked confused.
During that time, I felt like I was in a dream. The relationship between me and Aunt Wang became strained, and there were fewer conversations and fewer smiles between us.
At this moment, my old friends Lao Wang and Lao Liu found me: "Li Dawei, I heard that Aunt Wang's ex-husband is back, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know, I'm conflicted. I sighed.
"You have to be careful not to get caught up in complicated family disputes. Lao Liu reminded me.
"I know, thank you. I said with a heavy heart.
Over the next few days, I observed Aunt Wang and her ex-husband meeting several times. Every time she came back, her face was tired and confused. I wanted to give her some space to think, so I didn't immediately follow up.
However, one night, Aunt Wang came to my house, her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried.
"Li Dawei, I'm sorry, I need time to sort out my feelings. She choked up.
My heart ached, but I tried my best to stay calm: "Aunt Wang, I understand. I'll wait for you as much time as you need. ”
She left
After that, I sat on the couch and couldn't calm down for a long time. I understand that love can sometimes seem powerless in the face of the onslaught of reality. I began to wonder if the relationship between me and Aunt Wang could really stand the test.
A few days later, Li Jing came to me. There was a hint of worry in her eyes: "Uncle Li, my mother has been very emotionally unstable recently. I know she cares about you, but she's also conflicted. She doesn't want to hurt you. ”
I gently touched her head: "Li Jing, thank you." I understand, emotional matters, can't be forced. ”
In the days that followed, Aunt Wang's figure became scarce in my life. I began to feel a sense of loneliness and helplessness that I had never felt before. I try to find something to distract myself, such as playing mahjong with Lao Wang and Lao Liu, or going for a walk alone. But no matter what I do, my thoughts always drift to Aunt Wang unconsciously.
One afternoon, I sat on a park bench and watched the sun set. At this time, Lao Liu and Lao Wang found me, and they sat next to me.
"Li Dawei, you can't do this. Lao Liu patted me on the shoulder.
"Yes, life is too short to be hanged from a tree. Lao Wang comforted.
I smiled wryly: "I know, but I can't let go of it in my heart." ”
Just then, my phone rang. It was Aunt Wang who called. My heart pounded.
"Li Dawei, can I meet you? I have something I want to tell you. Aunt Wang's voice sounded a little heavy.
"Okay, I'm in the park, are you coming?" I said urgently.
Soon after, Aunt Wang appeared in front of me. She looked a little haggard, but her eyes were determined.
"Li Dawei, during this time, I have thought a lot. I know I'm being unfair to you, but I understand now that I can't miss out on the happiness of the present because of the shadow of the past. I want to be with you. Aunt Wang's voice was resolute.
My heart was beating violently, and it was as if a spark of hope had rekindled in front of me.
"Really? are you sure?" I could barely believe my ears.
"Yes, I'm sure. Aunt Wang smiled.
Just as we were about to start again, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly called, and his voice sounded nervous: "Dad, I heard that Aunt Wang's ex-husband has been appearing frequently in the community recently, you have to be careful." ”
I was silent for a moment: "Thank you for reminding me, Xiaoqiang." I'll be careful. ”
After hanging up the phone, I turned to Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, we may face some difficulties and challenges. ”
Aunt Wang held my hand: "As long as we are together, I am not afraid of any difficulties." ”
At this moment, Li Jing suddenly appeared. There was eagerness on her face: "Uncle Li, Mom."
Mom, I just saw my dad at the gate of the community, and he seems to be very angry. ”
Aunt Wang's face changed, and she asked nervously, "What did he say?"
"He asked me about you, and he sounded very upset. Li Jing's voice was worried.
I tightened my heart, but tried to keep my composure: "It's okay, we'll take care of it." ”
That night, Aunt Wang stayed at my house. We sat on the couch and discussed the problems we might face in the future. Aunt Wang's ex-husband obviously won't give up easily, and we must be prepared to deal with it.
The next day, I decided to go to Aunt Wang's ex-husband in the hope that this could be resolved peacefully. I met him at the gate of the community, a middle-aged man with a serious face and a hostile look in his eyes.
"I'm Li Dawei, a friend of Aunt Wang. "I reached out.
He glanced at me and didn't shake hands: "I heard, you want to marry my ex-wife?"
"Yes, but I hope we can resolve this issue peacefully. "I try to be polite.
He sneered: "Peace? you snatched my wife, and you still want peace?"
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "I didn't 'rob' anyone, we were together based on mutual affection. I understand your feelings, but I also hope you understand that human feelings cannot be forced. ”
He stared at me, as if assessing my sincerity. After a while, he sighed deeply: "I know, but I still can't let go." ”
"I understand, but please respect Aunt Wang's choice. I said solemnly.
He didn't say anything more and turned to leave. I stood there with mixed feelings.
In the days that followed, my relationship with Aunt Wang slowly got back on track. We started planning for the future together, including wedding preparations and daily life arrangements. Li Jing gradually accepted me, and she even began to call me "Uncle Li".
However, just as we were about to announce the wedding date, Aunt Wang's ex-husband reappeared. This time, his attitude was different.
"Li Dawei, I want to talk to you. His voice was calmer.
We sat down on a bench in the park. He looked at me and softened a lot in his tone: "I thought about it a lot, and I knew I couldn't force anything. I only wish Aunt Wang happiness. ”
I felt a sense of relief: "Thank you for thinking that." ”
"I have a request, though. He paused, "I hope to maintain a little dignity in front of my daughter Li Jing." ”
I nodded, "I understand, we'll handle it carefully." ”
After all these twists and turns, Aunt Wang and I finally decided on the date of the wedding. We didn't have a big wedding, just a simple ceremony in the garden of the complex, inviting some neighbors and friends.
On the day of the wedding, the weather was exceptionally sunny. Aunt Wang wears
Simple and elegant wedding dress, I wore a neat suit. Holding hands tightly and smiling, we walked to the makeshift flower arch. Lao Wang, Lao Liu, and a few other neighbors were present, and their applause and blessings filled the entire garden.
Li Jing stood beside her, tears glistening in her eyes. She walked over and handed a bouquet of flowers to Aunt Wang, "Mom, I wish you happiness." ”
Aunt Wang hugged her tightly, tears rolling in her eyes. I walked over and hugged them both gently, "Thank you, Li Jing." ”
At this moment, Aunt Wang's ex-husband also appeared. He stood at the edge of the crowd with a somewhat complicated expression. I nodded to him and thanked him for his understanding.
The ceremony is simple, there is no priest, no complicated procedures. We took vows to each other and exchanged rings. The neighbors applauded and cheered for us, and the atmosphere was warm and festive.
After the wedding, we held a small celebration in the common area of the community. The table was filled with a variety of snacks and refreshments, and the neighbors brought homemade dishes. Everyone sat together, sharing food, talking and laughing.
Lao Liu patted me on the shoulder, "Li Dawei, you can be regarded as having found happiness now." ”
"Yes, sometimes happiness is around the corner, but we don't find it. Lao Wang also said with a smile.
I looked at Aunt Wang, who was chatting with some neighborhood women, with a happy smile on her face. My heart is filled with gratitude and relief.
Li Xiaoqiang also came, and he looked at us with a smile on his face. "Dad, I wish you happiness. ”
"Thank you, Xiaoqiang. I walked over and hugged him.
In the evening, the celebration ended and we returned home. Aunt Wang sat on the sofa and looked at me: "Li Dawei, do you believe in fate?"
I sat next to her and took her hand: "I'm not sure I didn't believe it before, but now, I do." Because fate made me meet you. ”
She leaned on my shoulder and whispered, "Me too, and it is my greatest luck to meet you." ”
We looked at each other and smiled, and the starry sky outside the window shimmered with a gentle light, as if to light up hope for our future. On this quiet night, our hearts are tightly connected, and the presence of each other is the most beautiful proof of this.
Life will go on, there may be ups and downs, but as long as we walk hand in hand, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. Our story, though ordinary, is full of love and hope, and this is our happiness, simple and
