One noon in the spring of 1991, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the streets of the town. Sister Zhang, Sister Wang and Sister Li sat in the small courtyard of Sister Li's house, enjoying a leisurely time in the afternoon.
Sister Zhang is the oldest, 48 years old, but she still has charm, revealing the charm of a mature woman in her gestures. Sister Wang followed, 45 years old, she has a straightforward personality, fast talking, and is the pistachio among the three. Sister Li is a little younger, 42 years old, she is gentle and virtuous, and she is a typical good wife and mother.
On this day, the three of them chatted and somehow talked about their respective husbands. Sister Zhang's husband is an honest man but lacks interest, Sister Wang's husband is a workaholic who neglects family life, and Sister Li's husband is considerate but somewhat machismo. The more the three of them talked, the more they felt that their husband had many shortcomings, and suddenly, Sister Wang proposed: "Why don't we play a game, how about changing husbands?"
When Sister Zhang and Sister Li heard this, they were stunned. Although this proposal was ridiculous, for some reason, there was an inexplicable excitement in their hearts. At the instigation of Sister Wang, the three finally decided to try this "husband swapping game".
After the game started, both Sister Zhang and Sister Wang's husband showed great discomfort. Sister Zhang's husband was overwhelmed by Sister Wang's straightforwardness and arrogance, while Sister Wang's husband was at a loss for Sister Zhang's gentleness and thoughtfulness. In contrast, Sister Li's husband unexpectedly adapted to the new environment, and he got along very well with Sister Wang.
However, the game didn't bring the laughter and fun that the trio expected. On the contrary, it came as a huge shock to both families. Both Sister Zhang and Sister Wang's husbands are deeply troubled by their inability to adapt to their new environment, and their hearts become heavier and heavier.
Sister Li watched her friends' families fall into chaos, and her heart was full of guilt and self-blame. She began to wonder if she had made the right decision and whether she really should play this ridiculous game.
Finally, one night a month later, the trio got together again. They looked at each other's haggard faces and tired eyes, and they knew that the game could not be played anymore. Sister Wang spoke first: "Let's end this game, I can't stand it." Sister Zhang and Sister Li also nodded in agreement.
After returning to their respective families, the trio begin to work to repair their relationship that has broken down due to the game. They apologized to their husbands and frankly exchanged their thoughts and feelings, and the husbands also expressed understanding and forgiveness, but also offered criticism of the absurd behavior of the trio.
After a period of hard work and adjustment, the two families gradually regained their former harmony and warmth, but this "husband swapping game" has become an eternal pain and lesson in the hearts of the three of them. They are deeply aware of the importance and preciousness of family, and have learned to cherish and love their families and live happily ever after.
