When I was a child, I lived in an ordinary family. His father was a hardworking worker, and his mother was a virtuous housewife. Although they don't have much material wealth, they warm my growth with full love and care.
My name is Wang Wei and I am an ordinary office worker. My wife, Wang Li, and I have been married for 20 years. We used to be each other's childhood sweethearts, and we have experienced many ups and downs together. My wife is a gentle and virtuous woman, and she cares for me in every way, which makes me feel extremely happy.
However, as the years go by, we also gradually enter middle age. One day, my wife suddenly announced that she planned to retire when she was 50 years old and enjoy retirement with me. When I heard the news, I was immediately a little surprised and puzzled.
"Have you figured it out? Life after retirement is not so simple. "I tried to persuade my wife.
"I've figured out that I don't want to be busy with work for the rest of my life. I want to enjoy life with you. The wife said firmly.
Although I was a little reluctant in my heart, I was embarrassed to refuse my wife's request. However, what followed was a scene that I didn't expect - my wife proposed the AA system.
"From now on, the family's expenses will be AA system, you pay half, I pay half. "The wife is right.
I was stunned for a moment, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Although I knew that my wife also had an income, I had always been the main breadwinner of the family, and I did not expect her to make such a request.
"But...... Isn't that good? We've been married for so many years, shouldn't we support each other?" I asked helplessly.
The wife shook her head firmly, "We have been married for so many years, and I have been working hard, and I don't want to rely on you all the time." I want us to be equal and share the responsibilities of the family. ”
When I heard my wife's words, I felt a little conflicted. I knew she had a point, but I couldn't accept the change. I tried to persuade her, but she had already made up her mind, and I had no choice but to accept it.
Since then, our lives have changed dramatically. I was used to controlling the family's expenses, but now I have to discuss the spending with my wife. Whenever I took out my wallet to pay the bill, my wife would politely refuse: "Come on, it's my turn this time." ”
Time passed slowly, and I gradually got used to this life. Although I am still a little reluctant at times, I also understand my wife's thoughts. She doesn't want to be dependent on me forever, she wants us to be equal partners and share the responsibilities of the family.
Until one day, I suddenly realized that all this was a test for me by my wife. She didn't really want to negotiate with me about money, but hoped that I would understand her thoughts and support her choice. I felt guilty that I had misunderstood her intentions all along.
So, I decided to let go of my pride and face the future life with my wife. I understand that my wife is the most important person in my life and that every choice she makes is for our happiness. I decided to repay her with more love and understanding and make our marriage even better.
Since then, our lives have become more harmonious and happy. We enjoy retirement together, support each other, and spend every wonderful moment together. I learned that marriage is not built on money, but on mutual understanding and support. In days like these, I feel true happiness and learn to cherish my wife's love even more.
