My name is Uncle Zhang, and I am 79 years old this year. I am an ordinary old man living an ordinary life. I have a large family of eight people, including me and my wife, children and their children. However, our family faced some difficulties.
The pension is the main source of income for our family, but it is only 10,000. I'm getting old and I'm starting to get a little weak, but I can't afford to be old-aged. Because the whole family of eight did not go to work, there was no regular source of income. In the face of the hardships of life, I feel helpless and heartbroken.
One day, I sat in a rocking chair at home, looking out the window at the scenery, and tears couldn't stop flowing. I think of myself when I was younger, I used to be a man who stood up to the sky, but now I can only watch my family run around for a living. I felt a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow.
Just when I was feeling down, my little granddaughter Xiaofang came over, and when she saw me crying, she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort me. She said, "Grandpa, don't be sad, we'll definitely find a way." Her words made me feel a little warm, and I understood that even if life was difficult, my family would always support me.
So, I decided to work with my family to find a way to improve my life. I consulted with my children and came up with some ways to save money, and we started to cut back on food and clothing to minimize unnecessary expenses. Life is still difficult, but we have always supported each other to face life's challenges.
As time passed, I gradually understood that the support and love of my family are the most precious treasures. Although the pension is not much, although life is very difficult, as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome all difficulties. I am grateful to my family for their love for me, and for the strength and courage they have given me.
Now, I am old and my body is starting to weaken, but my heart is full of gratitude and hope. I believe that with my family by my side, I will be able to live for two more years, if not longer. Because love is the most powerful force, as long as the heart is calmer, the stronger the person.
