Xiaofang's mother, Aunt Li, sat on a shabby wooden chair, clutching a crumpled bill in her hand and frowning. Her gaze fell on Xiao Fang, who was doing housework, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes. Xiao Fang felt her mother's gaze, stopped what she was doing, and asked suspiciously, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Xiaofang, Mom has something to tell you. Aunt Li's voice trembled a little, she took a deep breath, and seemed to be mustering up her courage, "You also know the situation of our family, your brother's tuition has not yet been settled, and your father's illness needs money......
Xiao Fang's heart sank, she knew what her mother was going to say next. She lowered her head, not daring to look into her mother's eyes, and whispered, "Mom, I understand." ”
"Old Wang of the neighboring village, you know, he has always been interested in you. He is willing to pay a bride price of 300,000 yuan, so that our family can take a breath. Aunt Li's words were like a heavy stone, pressing on Xiaofang's heart.
Xiao Fang's tears swirled in her eyes, she bit her lip, and her voice was crying: "But, Mom, I don't want to ......"
"Xiaofang, Mom doesn't want to do this, but our family really can't help it. Aunt Li's tears also flowed, and she held Xiaofang's hand, "Mom knows that you are bitter in your heart, but we women sometimes have to accept our fate." ”
Xiao Fang didn't speak again, she nodded silently, but she was thinking in her heart: Accept your fate? Is this my fate?
On the day of the wedding, Xiaofang was wearing a red wedding dress with thick makeup on her face, but her heart was blank. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt like she was looking at a stranger.
"Xiaofang, you are so beautiful today. Aunt Li walked in and looked at her daughter, her eyes full of reluctance.
Xiao Fang barely squeezed out a smile: "Mom, I'm fine." ”
"Silly boy, Mom knows you're uncomfortable. But Lao Wang is a good man, he will be good to you. Aunt Li comforted her daughter.
Xiao Fang didn't answer, she just sat quietly, but she was thinking in her heart: Good man? Will he be good to me? Is all this really worth it?
On the wedding night, Xiaofang sat in a poorly decorated room, with mixed feelings. She looked at the big red happy words pasted around her, and felt lonely like never before. Lao Wang gently pushed the door in, his steps seemed a little hesitant, as if he was worried about disturbing Xiao Fang.
"Xiaofang, are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare something for you to eat. Wang's voice was gentle, with a hint of concern.
Xiao Fang raised her head, she wanted to refuse, but when she saw Lao Wang's eyes full of sincerity, her words came to her mouth and swallowed back. She nodded slightly, "Thank you." ”
Lao Wang walked to the table and placed a bowl of hot noodles in front of Xiao Fang. On top of the noodles lies a golden poached egg with an enticing aroma. A warm current surged in Xiao Fang's heart, she didn't expect Lao Wang to be so careful.
"Eat, don't go hungry. Lao Wang sat opposite Xiao Fang with a gentle smile on his face.
Xiao Fang picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up the noodles, and put them in her mouth. The noodles tasted surprisingly good, but her tears flowed involuntarily. Seeing this, Lao Wang was a little at a loss: "Xiaofang, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Fang shook her head, she wiped her tears, and her voice was a little choked: "No, it's delicious." I was just...... I just didn't expect you to be so careful. ”
A trace of distress flashed in Lao Wang's eyes, and he whispered, "Xiaofang, I know you are wronged. I'm older, but I'll do my best to make your life better. ”
Xiao Fang looked at Lao Wang, and she could feel his sincerity. Her mood gradually calmed down, and she knew that her marriage might not be as bad as she had originally thought.
Late at night, Lao Wang tucked the quilt for Xiao Fang and said softly: "Sleep, there are still many things waiting for you tomorrow." ”
Xiao Fang was lying on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, her heart was full of mixed emotions. But one thing she can be sure of is that Lao Wang's gentleness and thoughtfulness have begun to slowly melt the iceberg in her heart.
Xiao Fang and Lao Wang's lives gradually got on track, however, the peaceful days were broken by a sudden person. One day, when Xiaofang was shopping at a small shop at the entrance of the village, she met a familiar figure - her ex-boyfriend Xiao Li.
"Xiao Fang, is it really you?" Xiao Li's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
Xiao Fang turned around and saw Xiao Li, her mood was complicated, "Xiao Li, why are you back?"
Xiao Li looked at Xiao Fang, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "I heard that you are married, I ...... I want to come and see you. ”
Xiao Fang's heart sank suddenly, she didn't know how to face Xiao Li, let alone how to face her feelings. She barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”
However, this scene happened to be seen by Lao Wang, who was passing by. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden. Lao Wang stepped forward and gently hugged Xiao Fang's shoulder, "Xiao Fang, who is this?"
Xiao Fang was a little flustered, she introduced: "This is Xiao Li, an old friend of mine. ”
Lao Wang nodded, but there was something wrong in his heart. He knew about Xiao Fang and Xiao Li's past, and he was worried that Xiao Li's appearance would affect their relationship.
Xiao Li looked at Lao Wang, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, "You are Xiao Fang's husband?"
Lao Wang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am Xiaofang's husband, Lao Wang." ”
Xiao Li sneered, "Xiao Fang, are you really willing to live with this old man for the rest of your life?"
Xiao Fang's face changed, she didn't expect Xiao Li to say such a thing. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Xiao Li, this is my choice. Lao Wang is very good to me, I am very satisfied. ”
Xiao Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lao Wang, "Xiao Li, if you really care about Xiao Fang, you should respect her choice." ”
Xiao Li was silent, he knew that he had lost Xiao Fang. He turned to leave, his back looking a little lonely.
Xiao Fang looked at Xiao Li's back, and her heart was mixed. She knows that her relationship with Lao Wang is facing a test, but she also knows that she needs to be firm in her choice.
In the evening, Xiaofang sat on the edge of the bed, and Lao Wang walked in. He looked at Xiao Fang and said softly, "Xiao Fang, I know you may be a little shaken in your heart, but I want to tell you that no matter what decision you make, I will respect you." ”
Xiao Fang raised her head and looked at Lao Wang, her eyes full of gratitude. She knew that she needed to make a choice, one that was responsible for both her and Lao Wang.
Xiao Fang and Lao Wang's lives did not stagnate because of Xiao Li's appearance, but in the bits and pieces of life, their relationship became deeper. One day, Xiao Fang accidentally cut her hand while preparing dinner, and Lao Wang hurriedly ran over when he saw this, and asked nervously, "Xiao Fang, are you okay?"
"It's fine, it's just a small wound. Xiao Fang said lightly, but Lao Wang didn't think so, and he carefully treated Xiao Fang's wound while blaming himself for not taking good care of her.
"Look at you, you're always so careless. Let me do these things later. Lao Wang's tone was full of concern.
Xiao Fang looked at Lao Wang's serious appearance, and a warm current surged in her heart, and she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you in the future." ”
As time passed, Xiao Fang discovered that Lao Wang was not only reliable in big things, but also caring in small things. Whether it's a leaky faucet at home or Xiaofang's occasional little emotions, Lao Wang can always find it in time and deal with it properly.
Once, Xiao Fang had a dispute with her neighbor over a trivial matter, but Lao Wang did not take sides, but patiently listened to the opinions of both sides, and finally resolved the problem fairly. This made Xiao Fang's admiration for Lao Wang a little more.
"Lao Wang, you are always so fair, I really admire you. Xiaofang said sincerely.
Lao Wang smiled and waved his hand: "We are a family, and harmony is the most important thing." ”
However, life was not all smooth sailing, and Xiaofang's younger brother needed a lot of expenses because of academic problems, which put the already not wealthy family in a difficult situation. After Lao Wang found out, he didn't say a word and took out his savings for many years.
"Lao Wang, how can this be done, this is your money. Xiao Fang was anxious.
"We are husband and wife, and your family is my family. Lao Wang's words moved Xiaofang.
Through these trivial things in life, Xiaofang and Lao Wang's relationship has been truly tested, and they have overcome one difficulty after another together, proving the power of true love. Xiaofang began to truly believe that no matter how difficult life is, as long as there is love, there is hope.
As time passed, Xiao Fang and Lao Wang's relationship grew stronger in the face of shared life challenges. One day, Xiao Fang was busy in the kitchen, and Lao Wang was helping on the side, and the cooperation between the two was tacit and natural.
"Lao Wang, do you remember when we first got married?" Xiao Fang asked as she chopped vegetables, with a faint smile on her face.
"Of course I remember, at that time you kept a straight face every day, as if I owed you much money. Lao Wang quipped, there was no blame in his words, only full of spoiling.
Xiao Fang stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at Lao Wang seriously: "Lao Wang, thank you, it was you who made me understand what true love is." ”
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, and then gently held Xiaofang's hand: "Silly girl, thank you or not, we are husband and wife, so we should support each other." ”
Soon after, Xiaofang's mother, Aunt Li, fell ill and needed a large amount of surgery fees. In the face of this sudden blow, Xiao Fang felt at a loss. Lao Wang stood firmly by her side, and he said, "Don't worry, I'm here, let's figure it out together." ”
Lao Wang's words were like a warm current, warming Xiaofang's heart. Together, they scraped together and finally raised the cost of the operation. On the bench in the hospital, Xiao Fang leaned on Lao Wang's shoulder, her heart full of gratitude.
"Lao Wang, I really don't know what to do without you. Xiao Fang's voice was choked with a hint of choking.
"Xiaofang, we are a family, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. Lao Wang's words were firm and powerful.
After this series of twists and turns, the relationship between Xiaofang and Lao Wang has become stronger. Xiaofang finally realized that true love does not lie in external conditions, but in the inner fit and mutual support of two people. She began to cherish every day with Lao Wang even more, because their love has transcended the material and reached the depths of the soul.
