"Honey, we're going to be parents!" Li Mei couldn't wait to run over and hug me, and said coquettishly.
"What's wrong!" She immediately blew up, "What do you mean? Don't you want this child?"
I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't voice my doubts. Li Mei has been in a happy mood these days, and her face is unusually ruddy, which makes me can't bear to spoil her good mood.
So, I decided to keep it a secret for the time being and go for a check-up to see if I was really infertile.
"Recently, my husband has been weird, as if he is not happy with the baby in my belly. Li Mei worriedly told her best friend, "He can't be having an affair, right?"
Her best friend comforted her: "It may be that he is under too much pressure, after all, the sense of responsibility of being a father is not as intuitive as being a mother." You guys communicate well!"
So that day, Li Mei asked me to a quiet restaurant, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was a little shaky: "Honey, are you hiding something from me? Don't you want this child?"
I had a dull ache and couldn't open my mouth. "No, let's get ready for this new life. I replied perfunctorily.
"I'm sorry, I've been under a lot of work pressure lately, so I didn't accompany you to the prenatal checkup. Shall we find a time to see the baby together?" I try to be as gentle as I can.
Li Mei's eyes lit up, she nodded hurriedly, and threw herself into my arms to coquettishly: "I know that my husband is the best!"
I barely managed to squeeze out a smile and stroked her long hair.
"Mom and baby are healthy, so you have to prepare well. The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue, and I sat still, and Li Mei took my hand and danced with joy.
"Husband, husband, we want to be the happiest parents in the world!" She said happily.
Li Mei's face changed, as if she had a premonition that I would say something that was difficult for her to accept. I took her to a nearby café and sat down next to the two lattes.
"Until now, have you never wondered who the father of this child is?" I asked bluntly.
I sneered and threw the pregnancy test report in front of her: "I'm infertile! And we've been married for less than a month, how is that possible!"
"Stop kidding yourself. I said hatefully, "Whose seed is it?"
I jerked to my feet, nearly knocking over the table. Ding Shuo, Li Mei's college classmate, pursued her friend for many years. I'm all too familiar with the name, and it was always a flashpoint for our arguments before we got married.
I looked at each other coldly and turned away. With the sound of cups shattering, I rushed out of the café without looking back, leaving Li Mei alone in my seat and crying. All the truths and lies shatter our feelings.
I stayed up all night, restless. When I stepped into the bedroom early in the morning, Li Mei was gone. My heart was half cold, and this marriage, which was destined to end in tragedy before it began, finally came to an end.
I made another final call to Li Mei to ask if she was okay. She cried hoarsely, said "I'm sorry" softly, and hung up. I clutched my phone, tears finally welling up in my eyes.
After the last phone call with Li Mei, I felt like the walking dead. The truth was too traumatic to be revealed, and the emotional world I had built up so hard collapsed.
A month later, I went back to work, but I haven't heard from her again. I went to her rental house to find it, but she had already moved out and her neighbors didn't know where she was. I was disheartened and could no longer afford to look for it.
Until one day, I received a strange letter with only one address written on it. Instinctively, I decided to check it out. It was a maternity health hospital, and the nurse told her that she had been here.
"But then she became critical, and we transferred her to a general hospital. The nurse sister said.
Walking through the long corridor, I finally saw Li Mei's familiar figure outside the ward. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight, lying pale on the hospital bed, staring out the window with blank eyes.
"Meimei!" I couldn't help but rush to her bed and hold her cold hand.
My heart is broken. We could have started a happy little family, but we lost our most precious gift by hurting each other. All these fatalistic mistakes were caused by me after all.
Li Mei didn't answer, just cried quietly. I don't know what was going on in her heart, but at least, at this moment, I held her cold hand again, as if I were grasping hope.
Li Mei's long silence made my heart tremble. It was at the low point of my life that I really realized how much I cared about her.
"Meimei, will you go home with me?" I pleaded again, "I will always be with you from now on." ”
Her empty eyes finally had a glimmer of brilliance, but she still didn't speak. I had no choice but to continue to pour out my heart and lungs to pour out my true feelings:
"It's okay, Meimei, we can do it all over again!" I kept soothing her back.
Suddenly, I felt a wisp of warm liquid pass over my shoulder. Li Mei finally couldn't help but break down and cry, venting the emotional trauma of being forced to endure in the past few months. I couldn't cry anymore, and guilt, heartache, and remorse welled up in my heart.
In the end, Li Mei agreed to go home with me to repair the relationship. However, I know that the trauma has long been hidden in her heart.
For this reason, I paid out of my own pocket for Li Mei to receive long-term counseling from a psychiatrist. During this time, I stayed by her side all the time, for fear that she would wake up alone in the middle of the night and fall into a whirlpool of nightmares and memories.
Slowly, Li Mei's condition improved. She began to gradually return to her normal routine and no longer fell into emotional breakdowns easily. I thought this was the glimmer of hope.
Until one day I received a call from the hospital, and they said that Li Mei had some conditions that I needed to understand after a routine check-up, and that there was an abnormal hormone level in her body. I hurried to see the attending doctor, who told me a piece of news with a solemn face:
Li Mei can't have children.
I felt like the world was spinning. Since Li Mei's abortion, her body has been in a sub-healthy state and can never go back to the past.
Then she smiled faintly, a smile I hadn't seen in a long time:
"Actually, it's okay, we can adopt one, right?"
I looked at her in amazement, and there was a light in her eyes. It turned out that this time, she had made up her mind to forgive me and start over.
I understand your feelings very well. Let's have a heartwarming ending.
From the moment Li Mei was willing to adopt a child, I saw the light of day in our relationship. I regained hope and made up my mind to spend my life with her.
After going through the formalities, we successfully adopted an angelic daughter. I watched her grow up under our care and spend birthday after birthday.
Day after day, year after year, Li Mei gradually returned to her former appearance. She regained her vitality, picking up pigtails and playing with her daughter in the sun every day. And every time my daughter calls me "Daddy", I feel extremely happy and satisfied.
Together, we took our daughter to the playground to play roller coasters and run on the green field. I would check my daughter's homework before her exams, and Li Mei would always be hungry for her and make the snacks she liked to eat.
The daughter who went through her teenage years gradually grew up and became a beautiful and lively girl. Li Mei and I are also slowly entering middle and old age, but our happy life has not changed in the slightest.
On the day my daughter graduated from high school, we prepared a huge fruit cake for her. When she blew out the candles and hugged us and wept bitterly, Li Mei and I were also immersed in the relief we had not seen for a long time.
It suddenly occurred to me that all the blows I experienced with Li Mei many years ago have faded into oblivion with the passage of time. Now all I have left is nostalgia for this simple life, and waiting for my daughter.
Maybe there is no one right or wrong in life, only the arrangement of fate. Li Mei and I finally walked through the ups and downs hand in hand and ushered in our own happy ending. That's the warmest thought in my heart at the moment.
Watching our daughter grow up, Li Mei and I are also getting old. However, our lives are still full of joy and sunshine.
Every year on my daughter's birthday, we bake a big cake and sit around the table singing happy birthday songs. Li Mei, as usual, first rubbed a small piece of cream on her daughter's nose, and then the two of them chased after me, laughing constantly. I'll join in, too, and the three of us will have a bit of fun, like a family.
On weekdays, my daughter is busy with work, and we live a retired life. I would drive Li Mei to the seaside town she had always longed for, and we would walk among the stars, moons and yellow sand, blowing the sea breeze and gently embracing. Li Mei would happily run into the water, and then I would stop her waist and pick her up, and the two of them laughed again.
All this is like God compensating for the ups and downs we experienced when we were young.
When her daughter also entered middle age and brought her family home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Mei was very busy. She carefully cooked a table of her daughter's favorite dishes when she was a child, and also wrapped a lot of red, red, green and green rice balls. The family sat around the dining table and enjoyed themselves.
I looked at Li Mei's eyebrows dancing, and suddenly I was very glad that we could still walk hand in hand through the steady bits and pieces of these years. Maybe in the near future, I will be one step ahead, but more importantly, it is this deep affection that has accumulated for many years that will never fade.
Our daughter is gradually getting married, and our old husband and wife can finally retire to this rural town and live an unrestrained life. There are no more grievances and hatreds, only leisure, comfort and happiness.
I believe that what God has brought us is the most beautiful gift of all. In this life, I will be forever grateful, and I will stay hand in hand with Li Mei until the last moment.
They spent most of their lives together, experienced ups and downs, and finally became married. Even if there have been misfortunes and regrets, they have been integrated into the story over time and have become their precious shared memories.
Now lying on a rocking chair looking out at the courtyard, Li Mei is planting her beloved flowers. She still loves beauty at the same age, and she always has to dress up to show off before she wants to go out. He would tease and tease before meeting her still sweet smile.
The granddaughter occasionally came to the house and made a mess of Grandma's room. Although Li Mei complained, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She would cook for her granddaughter and let her spill the spices and stain her clothes. When the couple looks at their daughter, they will find the shadow of youth in each other's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, and all their children and grandchildren went home to hold a birthday party for them. Li Mei carefully prepared the old couple's favorite dishes and snacks, and the family sat in the courtyard and chatted. When parting, he held his wife's hand and sighed that although there are regrets in this life, having her by his side is the greatest blessing.
As the sun set, Li Mei slowly closed her eyes. The wife stroked her silver hair behind her ear and gently dropped a kiss. In this life, we are all white-headed with each other; In the next life, I hope you will be the raven that I have cultivated hand in hand.
Every moment in life deserves to be remembered and cherished, and the bits and pieces of their experiences are gathered into a lifetime of memories. Those laughter, those tears, and those mutual support have become their indispensable treasures.
Now that I think about it, the days of pain and gloom also made sense. Those trials sublimated their feelings, making them more tenacious and dazzling like gold quenched.
The pages of the years passed quietly, and the couple walked hand in hand through spring, autumn, winter and summer. Even if they are no longer young, the fertile soil in their hearts is full of hope and vitality, and continues to bloom their own flowers.
Let the story stop here. No longer guessing about their future, no longer imagining what it will be like to grow old. I believe that there are some good things to look forward to, and this world is worth looking forward to, because they are not overdrawn between the lines.
A hundred years of life, time flies. Thank you for choosing me for your busy time. We are all seeking spiritual abundance in different forms, and this is human nature.
The sun was shining just right outside the window, and spring came exceptionally early this year. Let's go out for a walk and breathe in the new green shoots. They exude the breath of life all the time, murmuring, loud, fearless.
Bless you who open your eyes every morning, and bless you who look up at the stars in the dark. May we all be able to keep the peace in our hearts, and the beating heart beneath our appearance.
