At noon in summer, the sun shines on the courtyard of Ah Xing's house, and the golden light jumps among the green leaves, as if adding a bit of vividness to this quiet afternoon. Ah Xing sat on a wicker chair in the shade of a tree, holding a glass of cold lemonade in her hand, but her eyes drifted to her husband who was busy in the courtyard from time to time.
Her husband's name is Applejack, a typical northern man, tall and burly, with slightly rough skin from years of outdoor labor, but his eyes sparkle with determination and tenderness. He was crouching on the edge of the flower bed at the moment, carefully pruning the branches, and every movement seemed so focused and serious.
Ah Xing looked at her husband's back, and a warm current surged in her heart. She remembered an article she had recently read on the Internet about "the criteria for a good husband", which listed all kinds of traits of a good husband. She couldn't help but want to compare them and see how many standards her husband had met.
At that moment, Applejack straightened up, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and walked over and sat down next to Xing. "Well, this flower is pretty well trimmed, isn't it?" he smugly waved the scissors in his hand.
Ah Xing smiled and nodded, "Well, it's very beautiful." You always keep your home in order. ”
Applejack listened, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face, "That's good." I think a home should be warm and tidy, so that it can be comfortable. ”
Ah Xing's heart moved, isn't this one of the criteria for an "excellent husband"? She continued to ask: "Then what qualities do you think a good husband should have?"
Applejack thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think you have to be responsible first." Be responsible for your family, your wife, and your children. Secondly, we should respect our wife, understand her thoughts and feelings, communicate more and be more tolerant. There is also the need to know how to care for people, not only to satisfy the family materially, but also to give spiritual support and companionship. ”
Ah Xing listened to her husband's words and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She suddenly realized that the so-called "standards" she had been pursuing were actually hidden in the bits and pieces of her life, reflected in every detail of her husband.
She remembered Applejack's hard work for the family every day, the fact that he would find time to spend with her and her children no matter how busy she was, and the endless love and support he always gave her when she needed it.
Aren't these all the standards of an "excellent husband"? Ah Xing suddenly understood that he had always had such an excellent husband, but he didn't realize it.
She looks at Applejack's eyes full of love and tenderness, and her heart is filled with gratitude and happiness. She gently shook her husband's hand and said affectionately, "Applejack, thank you for your continued dedication and love." I think you're the best husband in my heart. ”
When Applejack heard this, a trace of surprise and emotion flashed in his eyes, he hugged Ah Xing tightly and whispered, "Me too, it is the happiest thing in my life to meet you." ”
The figures of the two snuggled together tightly in the summer sun, as if forming the most beautiful picture. The love and gratitude in their hearts for each other reached its peak in this moment.
This story teaches us that the standard of a great husband is not set in stone, it varies from person to person and from life to life. But no matter what the standard, it is inseparable from the sense of responsibility for the family, respect and understanding for the wife, and care and companionship for the family. As long as we feel and cherish every love and dedication in life, we can find our own happiness and satisfaction.
At the same time, this story also reminds us not to blindly pursue the so-called "standard" and ignore the efforts and advantages of those around us. We must learn to discover and appreciate the beauty in life, and feel and cherish the happiness around us with our hearts. Only in this way can we truly experience the beauty and warmth of life.
Finally, let's remember the lesson of this story: the standard of a good husband is not an external label or judgment, but an inner feeling and recognition. Let us feel every love in life with our hearts and use love to create a better future.
