My name is Zhang Fuhai, I am 62 years old and I am a retired worker. Ever since my wife died, I've been living alone in this small town. Although my children came to visit me from time to time, I had my own family to take care of, so I was alone most of the time. In order to pass the lonely days, I often go to the senior center. There are elderly people like me, and we play chess, sing, chat, and live a leisurely retirement.
One day, I accidentally fell while playing chess in the center, and an old lady came up to help me, she was very energetic, with short silver hair, and she spoke very bluntly and cheerfully.
"Be careful, it's slippery. She said, "Do you want to go to the infirmary?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's just that I'm old, and my legs and feet are not very sharp. I quickly said, "Thank you." "
"That's good, I don't want to see an old man fall and get injured here. She laughs.
That's how I got acquainted with her. Her name is Li Shufen, 54 years old this year, she also lives alone, and she was a primary school teacher before she retired. We got acquainted very quickly, and we would talk for half a day every time we met.
She is witty and humorous, and she talks endlessly, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. I like to tell interesting stories about my youth in the army, and she always listens with great interest and laughs from time to time. Once, she was so smiling that she almost fell out of her chair, and I hurried to hold her.
"Where, where, it's just a trifle. I humbly said, "If you tell me the story of being a teacher, I will be very happy." "
"Well, I have a lot of anecdotes!" She winked at me knowingly.
In this way, we became good friends who talked about everything. We would do exercises, walk, play chess together, and have a lot of fun together. Gradually, I developed a different kind of affection for her. She is lively, cute, witty and funny, which makes me feel very happy to be with her. Unconsciously, we are inseparable, as if we have some kind of tacit understanding in it.
Once, I mustered up the courage to say to her, "Auntie, let's live together." We are both elderly people who live alone, and it would be nice to take care of each other. "
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go together." The life of two people will not be so lonely. "
And just like that, we started living together. The first days were wonderful. She is a good housewife and cooks all kinds of delicacies with great care. I try to share the housework as much as possible, helping her with cleaning and laundry. Sometimes, we cook together, she cooks the main food, I cooks the stir-fry, and we take care of the housework together.
"Look, the two of us are a natural pair!" She often jokes.
"yes, we're definitely the best couple in the world!" I'll echo that.
The first thing that caused the conflict was the difference between my aunt and me in terms of living habits. I'm a careless person, and I tend to be sloppy in my work. The aunt is a person who loves cleanliness and has high requirements for the quality of life.
Once, I forgot to turn off the faucet after taking a shower, and as a result, I wasted water in a field. When the aunt saw it, she got angry.
"Zhang Fuhai, why are you so careless? How old are you, and you still look like a child!" She said angrily.
"Oh, what's the big deal, you just forgot to turn off the faucet, are you so angry?" I replied somewhat unconvinced.
"Look at the water flowing everywhere! What a waste of water!" She pointed to the water stains on the ground and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll just pay attention next time, don't worry about it. I waved my hand, trying to fool around.
"That's what you're wrong with, you never pay attention to details! How many times have I said it, and you just won't listen!" She babbled.
We often quarrel over such trivial matters. She would complain that my lifestyle was too bad, while I thought she was too serious and magnified the little things.
Once, I left my shoes in the living room and ended up annoying my aunt again.
"Zhang Fuhai, look, where did you throw your shoes? Didn't I make a shoe rack for you?" She picked up her shoes and counted me down.
"What's the matter, isn't it just a pair of shoes? I said with some impatience.
We just quarrel over little things. Gradually, there are more and more conflicts between us, even cooking and shopping will have disagreements. She thinks I'm always buying groceries and wasting money; And I think she's too frugal with everything.
Once, I invited a few old comrades-in-arms to my home. In order to save face, my aunt specially prepared a table of sumptuous dishes. But my friends ate so badly that they made a mess of the table.
"You people, you just don't have any tutors! Auntie couldn't stand it anymore, and finally couldn't help but get angry.
"Ouch, Auntie, don't say that. We all came from the countryside, and we had never seen much of the world. A friend of mine said.
"That's it, Auntie, you're too serious. Another friend chimed in.
"What do you mean by being more serious? Eating should be in order, you are like this, you have ruined all the dishes I have made with great difficulty!" The more the aunt spoke, the more angry she became.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I hurriedly dissuaded, "They just don't have too high quality, and you can't blame them." "
"You're the least qualified! Auntie said to me that I hated iron.
In this way, we had a big fight because of our friend's eating appearance. Since then, the contradictions between us have snowballed. I think she's too picky; And she thinks that I have no life cultivation at all, and I rely on her to take care of all the housework. We quarrel more and more often, and even sleeping in the same bed can lead to arguments.
"Okay, let's break up! I really can't stand your attitude to life!"
"Okay, let's break up! I can't get used to you being so picky!" I also said angrily.
In this way, we decided to break up and live separately. A month of cohabitation life ended without a problem.
But soon, I began to reflect on some of my problems. The reason why my aunt is so me is probably because I am too casual. I often ignore the details of my life and put all the housework on her without paying attention to myself. In retrospect, she did work a little too hard.
Gradually, I began to realize that it is not easy to maintain a relationship. Both sides need to tolerate each other and find a balance. Although my aunt did a little too much in some places, my own living habits were also too bad. If we could understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, maybe we wouldn't have broken up.
One day, when I was going to the senior center, I met my aunt. She didn't look very good, and her face was a little gloomy. We nodded to each other, but didn't speak.
Later, I happened to hear from other old people that my aunt had been blaming herself for being too me during this time. She realized that she was sometimes too demanding of me, magnifying the little things infinitely.
Hearing these words, my heart was a little mixed. On the one hand, I was also aware of my own shortcomings; But on the other hand, I feel that my aunt's harshness is also out of a pursuit of quality of life. What she did was to make our lives a little more elegant.
None of us took the initiative to get in touch with each other, and we were at a stalemate. Until one day, we were all persuaded by the children.
"Dad, you and your aunt have such a good relationship, why are you so separated?" My daughter said, "You have to learn to be considerate of each other." "
"Mom, you're not too young, it's good to have someone by your side to take care of you. Auntie's son also persuaded her, "You and Uncle Zhang have some small differences, but the relationship is still very good." "
Persuaded by the children, my aunt and I began to reflect on some of our own problems. I realized that as a man, I should really be more proactive and share the housework, rather than relying on my aunt alone. And my aunt also realized that she sometimes demanded too much from me.
"Look, Fuhai, you forgot to turn off the faucet again. But that's okay, just pay attention to it later. She said softly.
"Oh, yes, yes, I'm going to wipe it clean. "I quickly brought a mop to clean the floor.
Another time, I left my shoes in the living room, and my aunt didn't count me down like she used to, but took the initiative to tidy them up.
"Fuhai, I've already packed up your shoes, remember to put them on the shoe rack in the future. She said to me with a smile.
In this way, we tolerate each other, understand each other, and live happily. Sometimes, we joke about each other.
"Fuhai, you have to be careful, don't forget to turn off the faucet again!"
"Okay, okay, Auntie, your old man is quite verbose!"
"You kid, see if I don't teach you!"
We just looked at each other and smiled, happy like a pair of lovers. I started thinking that if we could understand each other in the first place, maybe we wouldn't have broken up. However, in life, there will inevitably be some disagreements and stumbles, and it is important to resolve conflicts with a tolerant and understanding attitude.
With my aunt by my side, my life is filled with laughter again. We would do exercises, walks, and play chess together, and we would be as close as lovers. Whenever I see my aunt talking and energetic, I feel sincerely gratified. We all realize that we need to appreciate each other's strengths in life and not dwell too much on each other's shortcomings.
In this way, my aunt and I got along very well. At the Senior Activity Center, we are like a model couple. Everyone says we're the best couple in the world. I smiled and said, yes, we're a natural pair.
Since then, my aunt and I have entered a wonderful honeymoon period in our lives. We learned to be considerate of each other, appreciate each other's strengths, and live happily.
"It's okay, it's just a bonsai, it's not worth the money. Just be careful in the future. "
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I was too careless. I'll be extra careful not to let you do that in the future. "
"Fuhai, you, don't see the outside like this. The aunt said gently, "After all, we are a family, so we should tolerate and understand each other." "
When I heard this, my heart warmed. Yes, we are like a family, close to each other.
I started to take the initiative to share more of the housework and no longer put all the burden on my aunt alone. Every morning, I take the initiative to make breakfast; At noon, I will help my aunt with housework. Sometimes, we cook together, and she cooks the main food and I cooks the stir-fry.
"Fuhai, look, don't we cooperate seamlessly!" Auntie said happily.
"That's it, we're a perfect match!" I'll echo that.
In addition to housework, we also do exercises, walks, and play chess together. Whenever we walked in the park, someone would always give us a thumbs up and say that we were a rare model couple.
"Hey, look, aren't those Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li in our community? You are simply the best couple in the world!"
"Haha, that's us, that's us!" I happily responded loudly.
My aunt shyly took my arm and grinned.
In this way, we became a well-known model couple in the entire community. Whenever someone sees us holding hands, looking at each other and smiling, they will sincerely sigh that we are such a loving pair of elderly people.
Once, when we went to the senior center, we met a new pair of elderly friends. They were amazed to see how close we were.
"Hey, you two have a really good relationship!" The old lady sighed.
"Yes, it's like a young couple in love!" The old gentleman also said sincerely.
I would triumphantly say, "That's nature, we're the best couple in the world!"
My aunt would smack me shyly and say angrily, "You just love to joke too much!"
Everyone was very happy to see us so loving. Some people joke that we are a model for the elderly, an example that everyone should follow.
I'd smug and say, "Of course, we're a natural pair!"
"Ouch, you're here again!" Auntie will say with a fake anger.
I know that my aunt is actually very happy in her heart. That's how we love each other, and we love each other so much.
Before we knew it, we had been living together for more than two years. In the past two years, we have never had much of a quarrel. There were occasional stumbles, but we all learned to tolerate and be considerate of each other.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a vase, it's not worth much. It's good to be careful in the future. "
I was not only moved, but also more aware of my aunt's generosity and thoughtfulness. Yes, in contrast, material things are not important, what matters is the feelings between us. As long as we understand and tolerate each other, we can grow old happily.
Whenever we are together, I always feel a sense of happiness that I have never felt before. My aunt is lively, witty, humorous, and brings endless joy to my life. And I also learned to share the housework and be considerate, so that my aunt could feel intimate care.
We often joke that we're the best couple in the world. Everyone was sincerely happy to see our loving appearance. Some people say that we are a model for the elderly, an example that everyone should follow.
Yes, we are such a loving couple. We have learned to tolerate and understand each other, and we have resolved all differences and contradictions with generous love.
In life, there will inevitably be some stumbles. However, as long as we treat it with tolerance and understanding, we will be able to resolve all difficulties and build a harmonious and happy relationship. My aunt and I are the best example of this.
I often feel that if we could understand each other from the beginning, we wouldn't have broken up. However, after that breakup, we both realized the importance of being tolerant of each other. Since then, we have learned to look at each other with a tolerant attitude and resolve all conflicts with love.
In this way, we walked together through the last journey of life. Looking back now, I sincerely thank God for allowing me to meet my aunt, my bosom love. It was she who gave me unprecedented happiness and filled my old age with laughter.
That's how we love and cherish each other. Until we grow old, we are still loving and sweet. Everyone says we're the best couple in the world. I laughed and said, that's natural, because we're a natural pair!
