The 43-year-old Li Fang has already lived the retirement life she has longed for ahead of schedule. Early that morning, she opened her eyes and felt the sunlight spilling into the bedroom, and a long-lost sense of relief welled up in her heart.
"It's finally here, my free time." Li Fang said softly, a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.
She sat up slowly, moving her aching shoulders. Yesterday she took a yoga class, one of her newfound hobbies since she retired.
"I used to be so busy with work and taking care of my family that I didn't have time to take care of myself." Li Fang said with emotion while stretching her body.
She got up and walked to the balcony and took a deep breath of fresh air. Looking at the busy street downstairs, Li Fang felt unprecedented freedom and relaxation in her heart.
"I don't have to worry about going to work anymore, and I don't have to be tired of taking care of my son." She muttered to herself, "This is the life I've been longing for for a long time." "
At this moment, his son Xiao Ming walked out of the bedroom.
"Mom, you woke up so early." Xiao Ming asked with some confusion.
"Yes, Mom now wakes up early every day to do something she likes." Li Fang smiled and said, "Look, mom has more time to play with you now." "
"That's great!" Xiao Ming said happily, "We can go for a walk in the park together, or you teach me to cook the delicious dishes you cook." "
"Absolutely." Li Fang nodded, "Mom will try to arrange more time to spend with you, so that you can also enjoy Mom's free time." "
Xiao Ming nodded happily, turned around and went back to the bedroom to continue sleeping. Li Fang looked at her son's back and felt full of happiness and satisfaction in her heart.
"In the past, I was always busy, and I rarely had time to spend with Xiao Ming. Now I can finally enjoy my time with him. Li Fang muttered to herself.
She turned back to her bedroom, picked up her phone on the bedside table, and called her husband.
"Honey, I'm up now. When are you coming back today?" Li Fang asked gently.
"I'll be back at about five o'clock in the afternoon." Her husband's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Do you have any arrangements for today?"
"Nothing special." Li Fang smiled and said, "I might go for a walk in the nearby park and come back to cook a good dinner." "
"That's great." The husband is relieved, "You can finally enjoy your retirement." "
"Yes, I felt more free and relaxed than ever during this time." Li Fang said from the bottom of her heart, "I am very grateful for your continued support and understanding. "
"Of course." The husband said gently, "I hope you can enjoy this time and find your own happiness." "
"I will." Li Fang smiled and said, "I love you, see you later." "
"I love you too, baby. Good bye. The husband said softly and hung up the phone.
Li Fang put down her phone and felt that her heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness. She decided to plan her retirement today and make it more colorful.
Li Fang put down her phone, and an indescribable joy swelled up in her heart. She decided to plan her retirement today and make it more colorful.
"I used to be so busy with work and family that I didn't have time to develop my hobbies." Li Fang muttered to herself, "Now I can finally learn painting well." "
She couldn't wait to go into the living room and open the easel that had been in the corner. Picking up paints and brushes, Li Fang began to use her creativity on the canvas.
"It's amazing!" Li Fang couldn't help but say happily, "I can paint such a good work." "
At this moment, Xiao Ming walked out of the bedroom and saw that his mother was concentrating on painting, so he couldn't help but lean over curiously.
"Mom, what are you drawing?" Xiao Ming asked curiously.
"I'm drawing you." Li Fang smiled and said, "Look, you look so handsome in the painting." "
"Wow, that's amazing!" Xiao Ming exclaimed, "Mom, when did you learn to draw?"
"That's what I started learning today." Li Fang said gently, "My mother used to be too busy and didn't have time to develop her hobbies. But now it's different, and mom has a lot of time to learn and explore new things. "
"That's great!" Xiao Ming said happily, "I also want to learn to draw, can I learn with my mother?"
"Absolutely." Li Fang smiled and nodded, "Mom will teach you." It's going to be fun when we learn together. "
Xiao Ming nodded happily, picked up the paintbrush and began to doodle on the canvas. Li Fang looked at her son's focused appearance, and her heart was full of warmth and happiness.
"In the past, I was always busy with work and rarely had time to spend with Xiao Ming. Now we can finally get along. Li Fang said with emotion.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Li Fang walked over and opened the door and found that it was a few old friends.
"Sister Fang, long time no see!" One of the friends greeted warmly, "I heard that you have retired early, so we came to see you." "
"yes, yes!" Another friend also excitedly said, "It's been a long time since we've been together. "
"Come on in, I'm learning to draw with Xiao Ming." Li Fang warmly invited them in.
A few friends walked in happily and couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Li Fang and Xiao Ming concentrating on painting.
"Wow, you guys drew so well!" One of my friends exclaimed, "I'm almost blown away by your talent." "
"yes, I didn't expect to have such a talent." Li Fang said with a smile, "But I have a lot of time to learn and improve now, and I believe that I will be even better in the future." "
"That's amazing!" Another friend said happily, "We can get together often in the future and learn from each other." "
"Great!" Li Fang said happily, "I am also looking forward to exploring new hobbies and interests with you." "
A few friends chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. Xiao Ming also excitedly joined in and shared his work with his friends.
Li Fang looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart was full of unprecedented satisfaction and happiness. She feels that she has finally found the most sincere happiness in her heart, no longer exhausted for work and family, but able to enjoy her own free time.
"This is the life I've been longing for for a long time." Li Fang said softly, "I have friends to accompany me, children to rely on, and I still have a lot of time to explore my own interests and hobbies." "
She smiled and walked to the window and looked out at the sunny sky. Li Fang felt as if she had been reborn, full of infinite expectations and hopes for the future.
"In the coming days, I will definitely have a more exciting life." She firmly said, "No matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as you maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, you will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and live the life you want." "
Just when Li Fang was immersed in the joy in her heart, the doorbell rang again. She walked over and opened the door to find that it was a strange lady.
"Hello, are you Ms. Li Fang?" The lady asked politely.
"Yes, I am Li Fang." Li Fang said with some doubts, "May I ask you for something?"
"I'm your new neighbor and just moved to the apartment across the street." The lady smiled and said, "I heard that you recently retired early, so I came to say hello and welcome you to our community." "
"Oh, I see." Li Fang also smiled back, "You are welcome to move here, I am very happy to meet new neighbors." "
"That's great." The new neighbor happily said, "I just want to talk to someone too, do you have time?"
"Of course there is time." Li Fang said enthusiastically, "Why don't you come in and sit down, I was still painting with my friends just now." "
The new neighbor happily walked in and greeted Li Fang's old friends. Everyone chatted enthusiastically, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
"I heard that you retired early, I must be very envious of your current life." The new neighbor said with emotion.
"yes, I finally have a lot of time to do what I love." Li Fang smiled and said, "But you don't have to envy me too much, I believe that as long as you are willing, you will definitely be able to find your own happiness." "
"You're right." The new neighbor nodded, "I've actually always wanted to retire early, but I haven't had the courage to do it." "
"Then why don't you give it a try?" Li Fang said encouragingly, "I believe that as long as you make up your mind, you will be able to live the life you yearn for." "
"You have a point." The new neighbor said gratefully, "I'll think about it, maybe we can explore new hobbies together in the future." "
"That's great!" Li Fang said happily, "We must get together often to exchange and learn from each other. "
At this moment, Xiao Ming walked over, saw the new neighbor, and said hello a little shyly.
"Mom, who is this?" Xiao Ming asked in a low voice.
"This is our new neighbor." Li Fang said gently, "Come over and say hello." "
Xiao Ming obediently walked over and politely greeted his new neighbor.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Ming, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xiao Ming said shyly.
"Hello, Xiao Ming." The new neighbor said gently, "I'm glad to meet you, too, and we can play together in the future." "
Xiao Ming nodded, and turned back to the place where he painted. Li Fang looked at her son, and her heart was full of relief.
"Xiao Ming, go and draw a picture for your new neighbor." Li Fang suggested.
"Okay, Mom." Xiao Ming said happily, and quickly returned to the easel and began to concentrate on painting.
The new neighbor looked at Xiao Ming's serious appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "Your son is really a good child, I also have a daughter, we can let the children play together in the future."
"That's great." Li Fang said with relief, "I believe that Xiao Ming will definitely become good friends with your daughter." "
At this moment, Xiao Ming finished the painting and walked over excitedly.
"Aunt New Neighbor, this painting is for you." Xiao Ming said proudly.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" The new neighbor exclaimed, "You are such a little painter, I like it so much." "
The new neighbor took the painting and carefully admired every detail on it. Li Fang watched the interaction between her son and her new neighbor, and her heart was full of warmth and relief.
"It looks like my retirement life is really starting to get more and more colorful." Li Fang thought, "Not only did I have more time to spend with my son, but I also made new friends, and my life became more and more exciting." "
Just then, the husband returned.
"Honey, I'm back." The husband smiled and said, "Looks like you're busy chatting with your friends." "

Li Fang nodded movingly, her heart full of happiness and satisfaction. She knew that with her family and friends by her side, she would be able to live the good life she had longed for.
Just as Li Fang was hugging her husband, Xiao Ming suddenly walked over and asked worriedly, "Mom, are you okay?"
Li Fang patted her son's head gently and said, "It's okay, mom is fine." We're just showing our love for each other. "
Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then said happily: "That's great! Mom, I just drew a picture for my new neighbor aunt, take a look!"
Li Fang and her husband looked at the painting in Xiao Ming's hand together, and couldn't help but admire: "Wow, it's amazing!" Xiao Ming, your painting skills are really improving rapidly. "
The new neighbor also nodded again and again, and said sincerely: "Yes, this painting is so beautiful, I like it so much." Thank you, Xiao Ming. "
Xiao Ming had a happy smile on his face, he handed the painting to his new neighbor, and said, "Auntie, this painting is for you, I hope you like it."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Ming." The new neighbor happily took the painting, "I will definitely cherish it." "

"Oh, so you already know each other." The new neighbor smiled and said, "I heard you're all new to the city, so why don't we go to a nearby café and get to know each other." "
Li Fang and her husband looked at each other and thought it was a good idea. So, the group went out together and went to a nearby café.
In the café, everyone chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and lively. Li Fang felt as if she had been reborn, no longer a lonely and helpless person, but a group of friends who could rely on each other.

"yes, so do I." "I used to think that retirement meant loneliness and boredom, but now it seems that life will become more and more exciting if we are willing to take the initiative to explore." "
"You're so right." Li Fang smiled and said, "I have now fully adapted to this new state of life, and there are many interesting things waiting for me to discover and learn every day." "
"That's great." Another new neighbor said happily, "We must get together often in the future to communicate and learn from each other." "
Everyone agreed, and a consensus was reached.
At this moment, Xiao Ming pulled Li Fang's sleeve uneasily, and whispered, "Mom, I'm a little sick to my stomach, can I go home and rest?"
Li Fang immediately asked with concern: "What's the matter, Xiao Ming?" Is it a bad stomach? Let's hurry home. "
The new neighbors expressed their understanding and wished Xiao Ming a speedy recovery.
The group quickly left the café and returned home. Li Fang hurriedly prepared some medicine and warm water for Xiao Ming, and took care of him carefully.
"Xiao Ming, how are you feeling now?" Li Fang asked worriedly.
"My stomach hurts a little, but it's much better." Xiao Ming said weakly.
"It's okay, Mom will always be with you." Li Fang gently stroked her son's hair, "You have a good rest first, and when you are better, let's go out and play together." "
"Okay, Mom." Xiao Ming nodded slightly.
The husband also came over and asked with concern, "Xiao Ming, how are you feeling now?"
"I'm much better, Dad." Xiao Ming comforted, "I'm sorry to worry you." "
"It's okay, Ming." The husband said gently, "You have a good rest, we will always be by your side." "
Li Fang looked at her husband and son, and her heart was full of warmth and happiness. She feels that her life is completely different from before, no longer a lonely and helpless person, but with a warm and happy family.
"I'm so lucky." Li Fang muttered to herself, "Not only did I regain my hobbies, but I also made new friends, and more importantly, I have a family that cares for me." "
At this moment, Xiao Ming suddenly said, "Mom, I want to eat that cake you made."
She kissed her son on the forehead and turned to walk into the kitchen. At this time, her heart was full of satisfaction and happiness, and she felt that she had finally found her own life.
