Uncle Zhang is 72 years old this year and lives alone. His wife died of illness more than a decade ago, and his two children are also working in other places and rarely come back to visit. Uncle Zhang lived alone in this small county all day long, feeling lonely.
Although his children kept persuading Uncle Zhang to marry again, he always shook his head and refused. "At my age, what kind of daughter-in-law do I marry, isn't that to find fault for myself?" Uncle Zhang said to his children, "What I want most now is to live this leftover life in peace." "
However, the children still insisted on hiring a young nanny named Xiao Lizi for Uncle Zhang. Xiao Lizi is 28 years old this year, and he is smart, gentle and generous, and has won the favor of Uncle Zhang.
"Lizi, you will take care of me, an old man, in the future. Uncle Zhang looked at Xiao Lizi, his eyes were full of appreciation, "You have to work hard, I'm a difficult person to serve." "
"Don't worry, uncle, with me, you are like a little prince, you don't have to worry about anything. Xiao Lizi smiled and agreed.
"Little Lizi, I'm flattered that you're so attentive. Once, Uncle Zhang said to Xiao Lizi with emotion.
"Uncle, don't worry, with me, you will be my little prince in the future. Xiao Lizi responded with a smile.
At first, Uncle Zhang's kind attitude towards Xiao Lizi was only out of basic politeness and gratitude. However, as the days passed, he found that his affection for this young, beautiful, hard-working and capable nanny was growing day by day. Xiao Lizi's gentle and considerate every move made him feel unprecedented intimacy and happiness.
Sometimes, Uncle Zhang will even treat Xiao Lizi as his own relatives, and forget that she is just a hired nanny. "Little Lizi, since you came, my life has become colorful, and I don't feel lonely anymore. Uncle Zhang said sincerely.
"Uncle, you've won the award, but I've just done my part. Xiao Lizi smiled shyly, and two red clouds appeared on her face.
Xiao Lizi herself gradually discovered Uncle Zhang's special treatment of her. At first, she just regarded it as a kind of love for the old man for the young man, but she didn't expect that there was a deeper layer of ambiguity behind this relationship.
"Uncle, you are so kind to me, more affectionate than your own children. Once, Xiao Lizi half-jokingly said to Uncle Zhang.
"You can pull it down, my two children know how to make money, how can you be so caring. Uncle Zhang responded with a smile, his tone full of pampering.
The two of them consciously or unconsciously revealed some ambiguous small gestures and words, making their relationship more intimate, as if they had transcended the boundaries between employer and employee. Uncle Zhang would deliberately walk behind Xiao Li Zi when she was tidying up the room, taking the opportunity to admire her face up close; Xiao Lizi will use her soft hands to linger on Uncle Zhang when she massages Uncle Zhang. Although these small actions were harmless, they made the hearts of both of them ripple with ambiguous ripples.
One day, Uncle Zhang finally mustered up the courage and planned to propose to Xiao Lizi. Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he was carried away by love and couldn't care so much anymore.
"Little Lizi, you have been so good to me that you have nothing to say about me all this time. I think you're a different being, do you know what I mean?" Uncle Zhang looked at Xiao Lizi affectionately.
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Xiao Lizi was taken aback by Uncle Zhang's straightforward words, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"I know I'm doing this ridiculously, but I really want to propose to you, would you marry me?" Uncle Zhang mustered up the courage to speak his mind.
Xiao Lizi was completely frightened by Uncle Zhang's marriage proposal, she never expected that things would develop in this direction. After much consideration, she still agreed to Uncle Zhang's marriage proposal. "Uncle, I have received your wishes. Although we are far apart in age, I am willing to marry you and dedicate the rest of my life to you. "
"Great, little Lizi, you agreed to my proposal, I am the luckiest person in my life!" Uncle Zhang was ecstatic and burst into tears.
In this way, a couple with an age difference of 44 years tied the knot in the blessing of the whole village. On the day of the wedding, Uncle Zhang was dressed in a brand-new dress, full of energy, and Xiao Lizi was covered with a young and beautiful face in a wedding dress, and the two held hands and entered a new stage of life.
Although Uncle Zhang's children were a little puzzled, seeing their father's happy appearance, they all let him go. After all, when people reach their twilight years, the most important thing is to get happiness and comfort in body and mind.
In the first few months after getting married, Uncle Zhang and Xiao Lizi lived an extremely sweet newlywed life. During the day, Xiao Lizi takes care of Uncle Zhang's daily life, and at night, he does his best as a husband and wife. Uncle Zhang felt that his life had taken on a new look, as if he had come back to life.
"Little Lizi, with you by your side, my old bones are alive again. Uncle Zhang said happily, his face full of happiness.
"That's all as it should be, but you're my wife. Xiao Lizi smiled sweetly and looked at Uncle Zhang dotingly.
Although the age difference between the two is very different, Xiao Lizi is meticulous and caring for Uncle Zhang. She will take care of Uncle Zhang's diet and daily life considerately, and take care of all the big and small affairs in life. Sometimes Uncle Zhang will sigh: "Little Lizi, you are so good to me, I don't know how to repay you." "
"You can grow old with peace of mind, with me, you don't have to worry about anything for the rest of the day. Xiao Lizi always responds like this, and his tone is full of affection.
But the good days are short-lived after all, and soon after marriage, there were some cracks in the lives of Uncle Zhang and Xiao Lizi. The main contradiction comes from the fact that the age gap between the two is too large, and their living habits and values are very different.
Xiao Lizi is young, energetic, and likes to be lively and social. She often dragged Uncle Zhang to participate in the red and white ceremonies in this village, which exhausted Uncle Zhang. "Plum, just stop for a while, my old bones can't stand your shaking. Uncle Zhang often said helplessly to Xiao Lizi.
As an elderly person, Uncle Zhang prefers a stable and leisurely life, basking in the sun and playing chess all day long, and living a clean and comfortable life in his old age. But Xiao Lizi always hopes that he will participate in more social activities and not close himself to being bored.
"Uncle, why don't you just go out with me, it's so boring to stay at home. Xiao Li Zi said coquettishly, with a hint of accusation in her tone.
"At my age, I like to be quiet, so you can let me go. Uncle Zhang always responded like this, with a resolute attitude.
Another contradiction comes from married life. Uncle Zhang is old after all, so he naturally has limited energy in this regard. But Xiao Lizi, as a young woman, has a much stronger demand for this. The two often quarreled and quarreled because of this.
"Uncle, you should be considerate and considerate of a woman of my age. Xiao Lizi often said with some grievances.
"Plum, you have to understand the condition of my old bones. Uncle Zhang often explained helplessly.
In this way, a newlywed couple who should have been in love with each other began to toss endlessly. Sometimes Xiao Lizi would have a cold war with Uncle Zhang in anger and leave him aside. And Uncle Zhang often feels speechless and angry at Xiao Lizi's wayward behavior.
At the beginning, the two were able to get back together quickly, tolerating and understanding each other. But later, this state appeared more and more frequently, and lasted longer and longer. The honeymoon phase of the marriage quickly passed, and in its place it fell into a long period of coldness.
"Lizi, was I too old and confused to marry a little girl like you. Once, Uncle Zhang said helplessly to Xiao Lizi, "Look at how noisy we are now, like a mother and son, how can there be any husband and wife getting along." "
"Don't say that, uncle, we just need more time to understand and tolerate each other. Xiao Lizi comforted, but his tone was also a little tired, "As long as we manage with our hearts, we will be able to live a happy life." "
However, reality soon dealt them a heavy blow. Less than half a year after marriage, Uncle Zhang's body showed obvious weakness. Due to his age, his physical function has begun to deteriorate. The perennial noisy and noisy situation made it even worse, leaving him mentally and physically in a state of overdraft.
In the hospital, Uncle Zhang's physical condition has not improved. Doctors diagnosed that many of his organs were failing severely, and his health was deteriorating. Looking at the old and haggard Uncle Zhang lying on the hospital bed, Xiao Lizi had mixed feelings in his heart.
"It's because I'm too willful that I let my uncle's body suffer so much. Xiao Lizi thought to herself, "If I had been more considerate, Uncle wouldn't have fallen into such a field." "
The sons and daughters also came to visit when they heard the news of their father's hospitalization. Seeing their elderly father dying, they couldn't help but be heartbroken. At the same time, they also had some micro-complaints about Xiao Lizi.
"It's all because you, this little girl, are too willful to toss my father into this way!" Uncle Zhang's eldest son accused, "If you hadn't been so foolish, how could my father have suffered such a catastrophe?"
"That's right, you don't know what to say at such a young age, how can you serve our old man well?" The youngest son echoed, "What a sin!"
Facing the rebuke of her in-laws, Xiao Lizi lowered her head, and she was speechless. Yes, it was because she was too willful and inconsiderate of Uncle Zhang's age and physical condition that caused today's tragedy.
Looking at Uncle Zhang, who was dying on the hospital bed, Xiao Li Zi burst into tears. "Uncle, it's all I can't live with you. You just have a good rest, and when you recover, I will definitely change my life and never mess around again. "
However, Uncle Zhang's condition has not improved, but has worsened. One day, the doctor reluctantly told the family that Uncle Zhang's organs had failed to the point of no return, and he had to wait for his death.
"No! When Xiao Lizi heard the news, he completely collapsed. She threw herself down in front of Uncle Zhang's hospital bed, crying bitterly, "Uncle, you must not leave me like this! It's all my fault, you must hold on!"
Although Uncle Zhang was dying, he still used his last strength to gently stroke Xiao Lizi's hair and comforted: "Lizi, I don't blame you for this, it's just my old bone that deserves to be like this." Don't blame yourself, and don't cry. "
Just when everyone thought that Uncle Zhang was about to leave the west, an unexpected turn of events appeared. It turned out that Uncle Zhang had done an organ donation record abroad because of work reasons when he was young. Although decades have passed, this filing is still valid, and as long as Uncle Zhang agrees, he can be given priority to qualify for organ transplantation.
"Uncle, do you hear? As long as you agree, you can transplant new organs and have a chance to regain your life!" Xiao Lizi said to Uncle Zhang overjoyed.
"Yes, father, you just promise to come down, for the sake of your old age, and for the sake of plums, you must live!" The two sons also persuaded them again and again.
Uncle Zhang was silent for a moment and nodded slightly. "Okay, let's do it. I've lived too long, and now I have a chance to start over, and I'm going to keep going!"
Everyone was impressed by Uncle Zhang's tenacious vitality. Soon, Uncle Zhang was scheduled for an organ transplant. This was a time-consuming and laborious operation, and Uncle Zhang didn't know how many life-and-death situations he had experienced, but he survived them all.
After the successful operation, Uncle Zhang slowly recovered. When he opened his eyes again and saw Xiao Li Zi guarding his side, the two looked at each other and smiled, tears welling up in their eyes.
"Uncle, it's great, you've finally survived! I will definitely serve you well in the future, and I won't let you suffer a little more!" Little Lizi cried with joy.
"Yes, Plum, from now on, we are going to start a new life. Uncle Zhang was full of emotion, "We have to manage this fate well and let it last forever!"
Since then, Xiao Lizi has completely changed her willfulness and recklessness, and she has learned to be tolerant and considerate. And Uncle Zhang also slowly adapted to the lifestyle of Xiao Lizi's young people. In this way, the couple, who are 44 years apart, finally embarked on a happy track.
