My name is Zhang Mei and I am 65 years old. My retirement life is quite fulfilling for me, doing housework, watching TV, and going out for a walk once in a while. My son Zhang Wei is also very filial, he often comes to visit me, and gives me some living expenses every month, and our family lives very warmly.
One day, my son suddenly told me that he was going to go abroad for development and invited me to go with him. He said that the living environment there is good and the medical conditions are very good, so that I can live a more comfortable life in my old age. I hesitated for a long time, but finally I was infected by my son's enthusiasm and decided to try it with him. Mom, you see, the environment here is really good, the air is fresh, and the pace of life is slower than in China. I think you're going to have a good time here. My son excitedly introduced me to this strange country. yes, son, I think it's pretty good here, too. However, I was still a little worried, after all, I didn't know much about the language and culture here. I said with a little hesitation. It's okay, Mom, I'll be with you the whole time. When we find the right house, I will slowly teach you to adapt to life here. Don't worry, I'm here to take care of you. The son said gently.
Under the patient guidance of my son, I gradually adjusted my routine and began to enjoy this relaxed life. Every day, in addition to doing housework, I also go for a walk in the nearby park and get to know some of the local seniors. Hello, Auntie, I see that you come to the park every day for a walk, do you want to play chess together, and an old man with gray hair warmly invited me. Okay, great, I'm worried that I don't have anyone to play chess with. I gladly answered.
We quickly got along and played chess and chatted in the park every day. Those old people also enthusiastically taught me some local customs and habits, which made me feel the warmth of a foreign country.
At the same time, some of my minor problems are also well treated here. The local medical conditions are really good, I did a comprehensive physical examination in the local hospital, and the doctor gave a good diagnosis and treatment plan. I am very pleased that the cost of medical care here is relatively low compared to Japan. Doctor, I've been having some pain in my lower back lately, can you help me get it checked I asked worriedly. No problem, Aunt Zhang. Let's do a full medical examination first to see how it goes. The doctor said patiently.
After some examination, the doctor prescribes some medications and physiotherapy regimens. I'm very happy with this, I didn't expect the level of medical care here to be so high.
The days with my son have also become more and more harmonious, and we often go out for walks or do some outdoor sports together. My son will also take the initiative to take care of my diet and daily life, and he is very considerate to me. Mom, let's go to the new restaurant at noon today, I heard that their food is very good. The son suggested. Well, I'm just looking for a taste of the local food. Let's go, let's go and see. I readily agreed.
Before you know it, we've been living here for more than 3 years. But what worries me is that I seem to be running out of savings and pensions. I didn't understand why this was happening, so I asked my son.
Mom, I'm sorry, but the living expenses in the past few years have been a bit large, and you have little savings left. The son said with his head down.
What? My deposits are gone? My eyes widened in surprise. How is this possible? I remember when we first came here, we had a lot of savings.
Mom, it's all because I lost my job back home, and I can only make ends meet by doing some small businesses. I wanted to hide it from you, but now I can't hide it anymore. The son explained in a hesitant manner.
Mom, I'm really sorry, I just want you to have a better life. The son said sincerely, and his eyes moistened.
A better life? You've spent all my money, and we can't even afford to live on the basics now! I angrily blamed my son.
I know you're angry, but trust me, I didn't mean to lie to you. The son struggled to explain.
What qualifications do you have to make me believe you? I glared at him fiercely, tears streaming down my face.
Mom, I'm really sorry, I'll find a way to make it up to you. The son bowed his head and said.
What can you do to compensate me? My pension and savings are gone, and we don't even have a place to stay now! My voice is already crying.
I'm really sorry to have hurt you like this. But trust me, I'm going to find a way to get us through this. My son hugged me and comforted me softly.
I pushed my son away, tears streaming down my face. We were relatively silent, and the atmosphere became unusually heavy.
After a while, I finally calmed down. I realized that just scolding my son wasn't going to solve the problem. We have to find a way to get through this.
Son, I know you're here to give me a better life, but why are you hiding something so important?I sighed and tried to say in a calm tone.
Mom, I'm really sorry, I just don't want you to worry. But now it seems that I was doing the wrong thing. The son said sadly.
We were silent for a long time, and finally, I made up my mind to take action.
Son, since our current situation is so serious, let's find a way to solve it together. We can't go on any longer. I said firmly.
Okay, Mom, I'll do my best with you. Together, we will be able to overcome this difficult time. The son said hopefully.
So, I started asking around to find a job to supplement my family's income. After a lot of hard work, I finally got a part-time job at a restaurant.
Boss, I heard that your restaurant is hiring, can I try it?" I asked expectantly.
Oh, Aunt Zhang, you've come just in time! We're short of an experienced waiter. The owner said warmly.
Great! I was secretly happy. Although the job does not pay much, it can finally help us tide over the difficulties.
I quickly told my son the good news. When the son heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Mom, that's great, and with your salary, we'll be able to get through it. He said excitedly.
Yes, son, as long as we work together, we will definitely survive this difficulty. Together, we have developed a detailed financial plan and hope to be able to return to normal life as soon as possible.
At the same time, I also reached out to my friends and relatives for help. When they understood our situation, they reached out and gave us all kinds of support. With everyone's help, our lives have gradually improved.
Auntie, you're really hard this time. But don't worry, our whole family will always have your back. Friends and relatives said enthusiastically.
Thank you, and with your help, we will be able to get through this. I said gratefully.
With everyone's help, our lives are finally getting back on track. I continued to work in the restaurant, and my son found a stable job. Although the monthly income is not high, it is enough to support our living expenses.
Mom, it looks like our hard work is finally paying off. The son said with relief.
Yes, son, we're finally out of this difficult situation, and I'm so proud of us. I said with a smile.
During this experience, I deeply reflected on my life choices. I realized that even if I had my son by my side, I still had to rely on my own strength in the end. I was determined to be more proactive, to stop relying on my son, and to plan my old age on my own.
The difficult process during this period of time has taught me a truth: life cannot be smooth sailing, the key is to learn to take the initiative to face and solve problems. I want to work hard to create a better future for myself.
After this turmoil, my relationship with my son has also become stronger. We communicated openly and understood and supported each other, rebuilding deep trust. We believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to tide over the difficulties and create a better future together.
Mom, I really appreciate the support and tolerance you have been for all these years. With you by my side, I can get back on my feet. The son said gratefully.
Son, it is you who have been taking care of me that has made me so far. We've been together and I'm proud of our resilience. I hugged my son, my eyes slightly wet.
With the joint efforts of my son and I, we finally got out of the predicament and our lives slowly returned to normal. It was a difficult time, but in turn it made our relationship stronger. I decided to stay here because the environment is indeed more comfortable and pleasant than in China.
Mom, our lives have basically stabilized now, do you have any plans?" my son asked with concern.
Mom, I'm also seriously thinking about the next direction of development. I decided to work hard here and try to make another breakthrough. Together, we believe we can create a better future for ourselves. The son said firmly.
I was very relieved to hear what my son said. We understand and support each other, and together we can create a better tomorrow.
So, I started to replan my life and find ways to supplement my family income and prepare for the future.
Auntie, you've worked hard all this time. I've heard that you work in a restaurant, so feel free to let me know if you need any help. The owner of the restaurant said enthusiastically.
Thank you for your concern, I am in good condition now, as long as I can continue to do this job, my son and I will be able to get through this difficult time. I said gratefully.
The boss nodded and told me to tell him if I needed anything. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people here for their concern and support.
At the same time, I also encourage my son to take the initiative and develop a career in this new world. My son finally found a satisfying job, and his salary was much higher than before.
