My name is Wang Fugui and I am 65 years old. My life was thought to have passed without a disturbance. Until I met her, Li Xiufen. Both of us have been widowed for many years, but we were introduced to each other and decided to spend our old age together.
When I first got married, Xiufen really didn't have anything to say to me. She has a monthly pension of 5,000 yuan, and she takes the initiative to bear the expenses of the family, which saves me a lot of worry as an old man. However, the good times did not last long, and after half a year of marriage, I gradually felt that life was becoming less and less enjoyable.
That day, Xiufen suddenly said to me: "Lao Wang, my son's business has failed recently, and I want to help him." ”
I frowned and said, "Xiufen, we are all old people, and we can only help. You give him so much money, what are we going to do?"
Xiufen was a little unhappy: "My own money, can't I spend it casually?"
Since then, Xiufen's 5,000 yuan per month is no longer a family expense, but all of it is given to her son. Our lives started to get tense and I had to come up with my savings to support my family.
One day, I was walking around the neighborhood and heard the neighbors talking. It turned out that Xiufen's son not only failed in business, but also owed a lot of debts, and all the money Xiufen gave him was used by him to pay off the debt.
I returned home with a heavy heart and said to Xiufen, "You have to tell your son that you can't go on like this." We are all old people, and we can't afford to toss like this. ”
Xiufen's eyes widened: "My son is in trouble, I can't care about it as a mother! ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect Xiufen to be willing to give up our marriage for the sake of her son.
During that time, I lived like a year. Watching Xiufen busy every day, anxious about her son's affairs, I don't feel good in my heart. But I knew I couldn't give up, I had to find a way to save our marriage.
So, I started to communicate with Xiufen and try to make her understand the importance of our later life. Xiufen is not an unreasonable person, and gradually, she began to understand my struggles.
Finally one day, Xiufen said to me: "Lao Wang, I have decided, in the future, we will pay half of my son's living expenses." We should also live well in our old age. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and held Xiufen's hand tightly: "Xiufen, thank you for understanding me. We work together to make our lives better and better. ”
Since then, our days have been quiet again. Although there will still be some small twists and turns, we all firmly believe that as long as we walk hand in hand, our old age will definitely get better and better.
Xiufen's change warmed my heart, and our lives gradually got back on track. However, life is always full of surprises. That day, I was watering the flowers in the yard when Xiufen hurried over with a piece of paper in her hand.
"Lao Wang, what do you think this is?" there was a tremor in her voice.
I took the piece of paper, and it said "Notice of Housing Expropriation". I was stunned, what's going on?
Xiufen's tears rolled in her eyes: "This is the house we have lived in for decades, and they said that they would use this land and expropriate our house. ”
I took her hand and tried to calm myself: "Don't worry, Xiufen. Let's figure out the situation first, and then figure out how to solve the problem. ”
In the next few days, we ran all over the relevant departments to find out that our house was indeed within the scope of the expropriation. Xiufen's mood became very low, and the house was full of memories of our past, saying that if there was no, it would be gone.
"Lao Wang, what do you say we should do?" Xiufen looked at me helplessly.
I comforted her: "Xiufen, the house is gone, we can find it again." As long as the two of us are together, everywhere is home. ”
Xiufen listened to my words, and her eyes gradually became firm. We decided to face this challenge together and started looking for a new place to live. In the process of finding a house, we encountered many difficulties, but we both firmly believed that as long as we supported each other, we could always get through it.
One day, we found a small house in a newly opened community. Although the area is not large, the layout is reasonable and sunny. Xiufen looked at the model room, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
"What do you think of this place, Wang?" she asked me.
I smiled and replied, "As long as I'm with you, it's okay anywhere." ”
We decided to buy the house and start a new life. On the day of the move, Xiufen stood on the balcony of her new home, looked at the scenery in the distance, and said to me: "Lao Wang, thank you for being by my side, making me feel that my life can still be so beautiful in my old age." ”
I held her hand tightly: "Xiufen, this is our joint effort. In the days to come, we must cherish each other even more. ”
Xiufen nodded and leaned into my arms. At that moment, I seemed to see the happy life of our old age, just like the scenery outside the window, although it changes from time to time, there is always a beauty in my heart.
After moving into a new home, our lives gradually returned to their former tranquility. Every morning, Xiufen and I go to a nearby park for morning exercises, breathing in the fresh air and feeling each other's company. In the evening, we would sit on the balcony and watch the sun set, enjoying the quiet time of the years.
However, this peaceful life did not last long. That day, Xiufen suddenly received a phone call, and her face instantly turned pale.
"Lao Wang, my son ...... him" Xiufen's voice trembled.
My heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Xiufen, what's wrong with your son?"
Xiufen looked at me with teary eyes: "He was in a car accident and is now in the hospital." ”
I immediately packed up my things and rushed to the hospital with Xiufen. Along the way, Xiufen nervously held my hand, and I comforted her: "Don't worry, Xiufen, we'll be fine." ”
When we arrived at the hospital, we learned that Xiufen's son was seriously injured and was being resuscitated in the operating room. Xiufen was overwhelmed with grief and leaned into my arms and wept bitterly. I gently patted her on the back and comforted her: "Xiufen, you have to be strong, your son still needs you." ”
The operation lasted all night, and we were all relieved to learn that Xiufen's son was past the dangerous period. But with that comes high medical costs. Xiufen's son lost his job, and we don't have enough financial resources to cover the costs.
Xiufen looked at me anxiously: "Lao Wang, what should we do?"
I thought for a moment, and then made up my mind: "Xiufen, let's sell the new house and treat your son." ”
Xiufen's eyes widened: "Then where do we live?"
I smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, we can rent a house." As long as our family is safe, it is more important than anything else. ”
Xiufen nodded tearfully, and we began to work on the sale of the house. In the process of selling the house, we encountered many difficulties, but we all firmly believed that as long as we worked together, we could always get through it.
Finally, Xiufen's son recovered, and he looked at us gratefully: "Mom and Dad, thank you for everything you have done for me. ”
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Silly boy, you are our pride, of course we want to support you." ”
After that, we rented a small apartment, and although life became tight, our relationship deepened. Xiufen often joked: "Lao Wang, we are now comrades-in-arms who share weal and pain." ”
I smiled and responded, "Yes, Xiufen, as long as we walk hand in hand, we are not afraid of any big difficulties." ”
In our little apartment, laughter and love filled every corner. Although life is difficult, we always have hope in our hearts and believe that the future will be better. That firm belief has become the most solid support for our later life.
As the days passed, our son recovered. Watching him gradually regain his vitality, the stone in Xiufen's hearts and I finally fell to the ground. However, the hardships of life have not been alleviated by the recovery of his son. In our little apartment, every penny has to be carefully calculated, and every meal has to be planned. But even so, we never lost faith in life.
One day, I watched Xiufen busy in the kitchen, and a warm current surged in my heart. She is always so strong, no matter how difficult life is, she can face it with optimism. I walked over and gently hugged her from behind, and she turned back to me and smiled: "Lao Wang, are you hungry? ”
"I'm not hungry, I just want to hug you. I whispered in her ear.
Her smile was even brighter: "Then you can hug it for a while, and the meal will be fine for a while." ”
At this moment, my son came out of the room and smiled when he saw us hugging each other: "Mom and Dad, you are really getting more and more affectionate." ”
Xiufen and I looked at each other and smiled, and the happiness in our hearts was indescribable. Although life has given us many trials, it has also made us cherish each other more.
Soon after, his son's injuries healed, and he began looking for work everywhere. However, due to previous car accidents, many companies are concerned about him. My son's mood became depressed, and I looked at him and felt no good.
"Don't worry, son, work will always be found. I comforted him.
Xiufen also encouraged on the side: "Yes, son, you have to believe in yourself, you are the best." ”
With our encouragement, my son got back on his feet. After a period of hard work, he finally found a good job. When he got his first paycheck, he excitedly said to us, "Mom and Dad, I've got a job!
Xiufen and I looked at each other and smiled, and the joy in our hearts was indescribable. I know that our family of three has finally come out of the predicament, and the future will definitely be better.
After that, our lives gradually improved. My son has a stable job, and we are starting to have savings. Although the small apartment we rented was still small, the house was full of laughter. Every night, we would sit around and share the trivia of each other's lives. Such days, although ordinary, make me feel unprecedented happiness.
I knew that this was what I wanted in my old age. With Xiufen and my son by my side, even if life is hard, I am willing. Because we believe that as long as we walk hand in hand as a family, the future will be full of hope.
