I am Liu Xiangyang, 62 years old this year, retired for more than a year, with a pension of 6800 per month.
Five years after my wife passed away, I had no idea of remarrying, nor did I have the idea of living together.
Living alone in a three-bedroom elevator room, immersed in his hobbies every day, he is at ease and leisurely.
His only son is married and has no grandchildren, and he said that he was under pressure from his mortgage and asked me to find a sanitation job.
I don't want to go, I just want to lie down and enjoy the good life of retirement, my son says I'm selfish, and my daughter-in-law's approach changes the rest of my life.
The following is a narration from Liu Xiangyang, realistic and helpless, with warm family companionship in sadness.
1. In the first half of my life, I worked hard to create a better life for my wife and children, but after an illness, my wife left me.
My wife and I are technicians in a foreign-funded company, working hard and motivated.
Just to let his wife and son have a good living environment, my son graduated from graduate school and joined the work.
However, my wife was diagnosed with liver cancer during a physical examination and died in less than three months.
Midnight dreams, are the figure of the wife, with our happy companionship, and the happiness of the wife washing hands and making soup.
When I woke up from my dream, I sat on the bed for a long time and couldn't calm down, thinking about "life is impermanent, and the years are vicissitudes".
My wife and I have been with me for half our lives, and I didn't expect a day of Qingfu, so I went to the Nai He Bridge.
I don't know what it's like for my son to lose his mother, but I lost my wife because I lost my support and spiritual sustenance.
Well-wishers around me have also introduced me to my wife, including Kochi women and ordinary employees.
I just want to keep that little memory, and spend the rest of my life alone.
2. I spent half of my life savings to buy a house for my son and get married, but my son wanted me to help repay the loan.
Three years after his wife passed away, his son got married. The wedding room, the bride price, and many other matters related to the marriage are very busy.
The marriage of my son means that I will usher in the third generation, and I will have something to do when I retire, and it is also a continuation of life and the inheritance of the family.
In order to make my son's marriage satisfactory to everyone, I drove my son to my future in-laws' house.
My single mother-in-law was younger than I expected, looking less than 50 years old.
We discussed the marriage of our children during a meal, and the bride price followed the local customs, 128,000 cash.
For other matters, my daughter-in-law buys it herself, and I will reimburse it.
The mother-in-law promised that the dowry would be doubled, and the down payment for the marriage house would be purchased by the two families.
Even so, my son's wedding still made me spend half of my life savings and borrowed some foreign debt from my friends.
However, my son knew that I had some foreign debts and asked me to help him pay off the mortgage as much as possible, but I could only refuse.
After retirement, our unit paid me a lump sum provident fund, and the enterprise annuity was sent to my bank card in five years.
My son negotiated with me and asked me to use my CPF to help pay off part of my mortgage so that he could relieve his stress.
I told my son directly that I was going to leave some pension for myself.
3. After retirement, I lay down and enjoyed life, and my son found me a sanitation job, and said that I was selfish.
My son had an opinion about me, and he didn't spend the Spring Festival with me in the first year, but went to his in-laws' house.
He said that the times are different, and he doesn't necessarily have to spend the New Year at his in-law's house, and he promised his daughter-in-law to go to her in-law's house for the New Year.
I know that this is because my son complains in his heart that I can't pay off the mortgage to help him pay off the mortgage, but even so, I accept the reality.
After the Chinese New Year, my son once again mentioned to me about helping him pay off the mortgage, and I told him that I wanted to lie down and enjoy life.
A few days later, my son came back and excitedly told me that he had helped me get a job as a sanitation worker.
Every day, I ride a small yellow car for sanitation and pick up garbage in a fixed working place, and I am not tired of work, more than 2,000 per month, and there is a meal allowance.
Seeing that my son doesn't know what to say to him, I have my own schedule every day, getting up in the morning to play tai chi, writing in the morning, drinking tea after the lunch break, going downstairs for a walk in the evening, and chasing dramas in the evening.
My life is full and full, I don't want to go to the sanitation work, both my opinion on this job and my opinion on my son.
My son saw that I was reluctant to work, and said that I was a selfish parent, and other people's parents not only helped pay off the mortgage, but also took the initiative to bear the living expenses of their children's small family.
He said that I can't spend my pension by myself, and it is better to save the bank to help him pay off the mortgage, so that my daughter-in-law will be happy, and it is also a good thing to prepare for a rainy day in my old age.
4. My daughter-in-law was pregnant and asked my mother-in-law to take care of me and invited me to their house for dinner.
My son left angrily, and soon told me that my daughter-in-law was pregnant, so that I could share more of the pressure.
But my daughter-in-law called me and asked me to go to their house for dinner, saying that my mother-in-law retired and came here to take care of her.
He also said that my mother's cooking skills are very good, and let me go to eat together, which not only makes me less lonely, but also relaxes.
My daughter-in-law told me not to take my son's words at ease, they have the ability to repay the mortgage, and my son is afraid that I will be alone for a long time, which will not be good for my health.
The first time I drove to my son's house, I bought some things that are commonly used at home, and I can't go to eat empty-handed.
My daughter-in-law asked me to be a guide for my mother-in-law, and when I was free, I drove my mother-in-law around us to familiarize myself with the environment.
Every time I go back from my son's house, my mother will bring me some prepared hard dishes and let me warm them up for myself.
With the task of being a mother-in-law, I began to plan my life, where to go today and where to go tomorrow.
After a long time, I have a feeling that it is good to have a companion when I am old.
I guess maybe this is the intention of my daughter-in-law, who wants me to be together with my single mother-in-law.
In this way, my mother-in-law and I can help them take care of the baby together, and they can also earn money to live with peace of mind.
Write at the end:
The confinement center that my daughter-in-law went to after giving birth to a grandchild, the cost was paid by my mother-in-law, and I gave a reward of 30,000 red envelopes.
This time, my son laughed and said that I was good to my grandson and generous.
The son also said that the reason why he found me a job and asked me to help pay off the mortgage was that I was afraid that I would fall in love after retirement and spend the money on others.
I think my daughter-in-law still has the heart to bring the two of us old people together, which will not lose anything, but also contribute to family harmony.
Although I didn't say it explicitly with my mother-in-law, we now have a tacit understanding, she is responsible for taking care of the baby, and I am responsible for purchasing.
On weekends, my son and daughter-in-law took the baby, and we drove around the area, which made me feel a different retirement life.
As for who pays between me and my mother-in-law, most of them are on my own initiative, and my mother-in-law takes the initiative to buy me clothes and necessities.
I now feel that it is better to be a daughter-in-law, change my mind that I want to be lonely and grow old, find me a good company, change the rest of my life, and let me really enjoy the retirement life lying down.
