In 1998, he rushed back from the workplace to get married

It was 1998, and I was still working as a small section chief in a state-owned factory in Beijing. As soon as I received a call from home, I felt a sigh in my heart. My mother was over there, and her voice changed: "Son, come back quickly and tie the knot with Cuihua." ”

I almost forgot that at the beginning of the year, I promised Cuihua that I would go back to get married at the end of the year. It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and I'm not there yet.

"Mom, I'm going to take a leave of absence, I'm going back!" I hurriedly replied.

When the leader of the factory heard that I was going to ask for leave, his face was longer than a horse's face: "The end of the year is the busy time, please ask if you say it?"

I was also anxious at that time, and slapped the table directly: "My wife has been waiting for me for a year, and I can't let people wait any longer!"

In this way, the factory approved me for a week's leave, and I rushed home in a hurry with my train ticket in my hand.

Along the way, the contradictions in my heart never stopped. I am happy to get married, Cuihua is a good woman, good to me, and better to my mother. But as soon as this marriage is married, I, a big family, and the position in the factory, which one of them must I not throw away?

When I got home, Cuihua looked haggard at me, and she was so distressed that she burst into tears: "You came back running?"

"Cuihua, I'm sorry for you for keeping you waiting for so long. I took her hand, and I didn't feel a taste in my heart.

"Don't talk about that, as long as you come back, I don't care about anything. Cuihua smiled, and that smile was more beautiful than a flower.

On the day of the wedding, the family was very lively, and relatives and friends came. My mom smiled from ear to ear, and Cuihua's parents were also pleased.

But just when we were about to worship heaven and earth, a call from the factory came, saying that there was a problem with a batch of goods, and I was asked to go back as a section chief to deal with it. I'm in a hurry, this is my wedding day, this is my big day with Cuihua!

Cuihua saw that I was in a hurry, and gently pulled my sleeve: "You go, work is important." ”

My eyes widened, looking at this woman I loved deeply, and the gratitude in my heart was beyond words: "Cuihua, I ......"

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you. Cuihua smiled, and there was trust and expectation in that smile.

I was ruthless, turned and ran out the door. I know how much pressure Cuihua will have to endure when I leave, but I also know that I have to go.

By the time I finished dealing with the factory, it was already three days later. I hurried home and saw Cuihua sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes swollen from crying.

"Cuihua, I'm back. I hugged her softly, feeling guilty to death.

Cuihua raised her head, her red and swollen eyes were full of grievances: "You finally came back, I thought you forgot me." ”

"Silly girl, how could I forget you? I'm here for our future days, I have to be worthy of you and this family. I stroked her hair gently, and secretly swore in my heart that I would let Cuihua live a good life in the future.

In this way, I rushed back from the workplace and married Cuihua. Although the process is tortuous, the ending is happy. I know that the days of me and Cuihua are still long.

The days after marriage are like a light cup of tea, with bitterness and fragrance. Cuihua kept the house in order, and my mother's health was much better. My work in the factory became busier and busier, but every time I came home exhausted and saw Cuihua's smiling face, all the tiredness disappeared.

One day, when I came home from work, Cuihua mysteriously pulled me aside: "Master, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's going on? It's so mysterious. I laughed and rubbed her hair.

"I have a cousin named Xiaofang, who now works in a textile factory in the city, but the factory has been in a recession recently, and she may be unemployed. I want her to come and stay with us for a while, and by the way, help us with cooking, cleaning, and housekeeping. Cuihua looked at my face cautiously.

I pondered for a while, after all, adding someone to the family always has to be carefully considered. "Okay, since it's your cousin, let her come and live for a while, and then move out when she finds a job. ”

"Thank you, you're such a nice person. Cuihua excitedly kissed me on the face.

Xiaofang's arrival did add a lot of vitality to the family. She is diligent, unpretentious, and gets along well with my mother. But the good times didn't last long, and the factory suddenly decided to lay off employees, and I, the section chief, bore the brunt.

That night, I was so drunk. Cuihua and Xiaofang helped me to the bed, and I heard them talking in a daze.

"Cousin, my brother-in-law lost his job this time, what can we do with our family?" Xiaofang said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll get through it. Together, we can get through this difficult time. Cuihua said firmly.

When I woke up, Cuihua didn't say anything, just stayed by my side quietly. I know she's encouraging me in this way.

Soon after, I decided to go to the provincial capital to look for a job. Before leaving, Cuihuasai gave me a small cloth bag: "This is all our savings, you take it, go to the provincial capital to work hard, and my mother and I are waiting for you at home." ”

I held the little cloth bag tightly and felt a heavy responsibility. I knew that I couldn't live up to the expectations of Cuihua and her family.

Life in the provincial capital was not easy, I lived in a modest rental house, and I went out early and returned late every day to look for work. Finally, after a month, I got a good job. That day, I happily bought wine and meat and called Cuihua and home.

"Cuihua, I've got a job! I'll pick you up when I get settling down. I said excitedly.

On the other end of the phone, Cuihua choked up and said, "Boss, you have worked hard." We are waiting for you at home, you must take care of yourself. ”

Time is like a river, flowing forward with our hopes and expectations. I finally gained a firm foothold in the provincial city and took Cuihua and my mother over. Xiaofang also got a job in the city and married a good man.

Time is like a song, and in the blink of an eye, Cuihua and I have been married for 20 years. Over the years, we have worked together to survive the ups and downs of life and tasted the ups and downs of life. And those twists and turns and setbacks have become the most precious memories in our hearts. Looking at Cuihua's happy smile, I know that I will spend the rest of my life guarding this hard-won happiness.

Twenty years later, one evening, as the sun set on the flowers and plants on the balcony, I sat in a rocking chair, the green flowers snuggled up to me, and we quietly looked into the distance. At this time, Xiaofang came to visit us with her two children.

"Uncle, auntie, here we come!" the children cried out excitedly, breaking the silence.

"Oh, my darlings!" Cuihua greeted her with a smile and picked up her little niece.

I looked at Xiao Fang, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were the same as those of Cuihua, which had already had traces of time, but her smile was still so warm: "Brother-in-law, sister, we brought some home-grown vegetables here, you can try them." ”

"You guys are so polite every time, and the home-grown food is fresh. I stood up and took the basket from Xiao Fang's hand.

In the evening, a large family sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing. Xiaofang's husband is also there, he is a real person, and he has always had a good relationship with our family.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that your status in the factory is getting higher and higher, which is really the pride of our family. Xiaofang's husband toasted me.

I smiled and said modestly, "Everywhere you are, it's the result of everyone's efforts." ”

After the meal, Cuihua and I cleaned up the table together, and she asked me softly, "What do you think happiness is?"

I stopped what I was doing and thought about it seriously: "Happiness is to wake up with you every day, watch the children grow up healthily, and the family is safe." ”

Cuihua listened, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes: "You are becoming more and more able to speak." ”

"It's not talking, it's heart. I patted her hand gently.

As the days passed, our children grew up and had their own lives. After Cuihua and I retired, we did not have idleness, we opened a small garden in the community, planted flowers and vegetables, and lived a full and happy life.

One day, I was watering in the garden, and Cuihua suddenly ran over and said breathlessly: "Master, go and see, the son of Xiaofang's family has been admitted to university!"

I threw down the kettle in my hand and hurriedly followed Cuihua to Xiaofang's house. As soon as the door opened, Xiaofang's son rushed out, waving the admission notice in his hand: "Uncle, aunt, I was admitted to university!"

"Good boy, what a good thing!" I patted him on the shoulder excitedly.

Cuihua had tears in her eyes and hugged Xiaofang: "Look at our children, all of them are so promising, we haven't worked in vain." ”

As the years go by, our hair gradually turns gray, but the happiness and satisfaction in our hearts increase day by day. In this loving family, we have spent countless springs, summers, autumns and winters, and every ordinary day is a story we write together, simple and beautiful.

Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, Cuihua and I have entered our old age. Our children have their own families and have their own lives, while Cuihua and I are still guarding our garden and living a plain and happy life.

One sunny afternoon, I sat on a wicker chair in the garden and watched the emerald flowers busy among the flowers. Her hair has turned gray, but she still retains the grace and beauty of her youth. I looked at her with gratitude and love in my heart.

"Cuihua, you say, are we having a good time in this life?" I asked.

Cuihua raised her head, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Yes, although there have been twists and turns, there are also joys." Most importantly, we've always been together. ”

I nodded, full of emotion: "yes, we've always been together." Sometimes I think about it, I really don't know how many blessings I have cultivated in my previous life to meet a good woman like you. ”

Cuihua walked up to me and sat gently on my lap: "Master, you say, will we be together in the next life?"

I hugged her tightly and smiled, "Yes, I will." No matter where we are in the next life, we will find each other and continue our story. ”

At this time, Xiaofang took her grandchildren to the garden. The children happily ran over and circled around me and Cuihua. Their laughter is like a heavenly sound, filling the whole garden with life and energy.

"Uncle, aunt, we've come to see you!" the children shouted excitedly.

Cuihua and I looked at each other and smiled, our eyes full of pampering and happiness. We look at these lovely children with hope and anticipation in our hearts. They are our future, our continuation.

As the years passed, Cuihua's hair and I were all white, but our hearts were still young. We relied on each other, supported each other, and spent spring, summer, autumn and winter together.

On a golden autumn afternoon, Cuihua and I sat on a garden bench and watched the children play among the flowers. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on us, warm and serene.

Cuihua gently leaned on my shoulder and whispered, "Master, you say, are we very happy?"

I held her hand tightly and replied with a smile, "Yes, Cuihua, we are very happy." Because of you, my world is complete. ”

Cuihua gently closed her eyes, a satisfied smile on her face. I know she's happy at the moment, just like I am.

In this warm garden, we quietly enjoy each other's company and feel the tenderness of the years. Our story continues, just like this garden, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, it exudes the fragrance of life.
