Li Mei, a 56-year-old middle-aged woman, has worked for a large company for more than 20 years. Over the years, she has maintained a special relationship with her boss Wang Qiang, and the two get along well and cooperate well in work and life. However, with Wang Qiang about to retire and return to his hometown, Li Mei's life is about to change.
On this day, Li Mei came to Wang Qiang's office, and the two had an in-depth conversation.
"Director Wang, I heard that you plan to retire and settle in your hometown?" Li Mei asked straight to the point, her eyes full of reluctance.
Wang Qiang nodded, and said in a calm tone, "Yes, Sister Mei." I've made the relevant arrangements and will be leaving for my hometown next month. "
Hearing the news, Li Mei's mood suddenly became complicated. She and Wang Qiang have been together for 10 years, and the relationship between the two has long surpassed the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and can even be said to be a close couple. Now that Wang Qiang is leaving, Li Mei can't help but feel a sense of loss and unease.
Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to hold Li Mei's hand, and said softly: "Sister Mei, I know you must be sad. However, I'm ready and I hope you understand. Our relationship doesn't change because of my departure, and we can still keep in touch. "
Hearing Wang Qiang's words, Li Mei's mood relaxed a little. She looked up at the familiar man in front of her, and her heart was mixed.
"However, after so many years of getting along, I have become accustomed to your presence. I'll miss you if you do go. Li Mei's voice was choked with a hint of choking.
Wang Qiang patted Li Mei's hand lightly and comforted: "Sister Mei, I know this must be very difficult for you. However, I believe that as long as we believe in each other, everything will be fine. I will come to see you often, and our relationship will not change because of the distance. "
Hearing Wang Qiang's words, Li Mei's heart suddenly felt a burst of warmth. She took a deep breath and tried to stabilize herself.
"Alright then, now that you're ready, I respect your decision. I will continue to work and live well. It's just that you must come to see me often and don't make me too lonely. Li Mei said softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Wang Qiang nodded, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Mei." I will come to see you often, and our relationship will definitely get better and better. "
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of anticipation for the future. Even though life is about to change, as long as you believe in each other, everything will be fine.
In this way, the relationship between Li Mei and Wang Qiang entered a new stage. Although Wang Qiang is about to retire and return to his hometown, the two still maintain close contact.
Every month, Wang Qiang would take time out to come to the city to meet and chat with Li Mei. The two seem to have regained the sweetness of their love back then, and they can't stop chatting as soon as they meet.
"Sister Mei, how are you doing at work lately?" Wang Qiang asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay. I can handle the company's affairs, so you don't have to worry too much about me. Li Mei said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." Wang Qiang nodded, "I came this time to discuss something with you." "
"What's the matter?" Li Mei asked curiously.
Hearing Wang Qiang's proposal, Li Mei's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She excitedly shook Wang Qiang's hand, her eyes shining with joy.
"Really? Are you serious?" Li Mei couldn't hide the excitement in her heart.
"Of course it's true." Wang Qiang smiled and said, "We have been together for so many years, and you are already an indispensable person for me." I hope we can continue to be together and spend the rest of our lives together. "
Li Mei's eyes suddenly moistened. For so many years, she had been worried that she would lose Wang Qiang, but she didn't expect Wang Qiang to offer to let her live together. She nodded excitedly and said, "That's great, I'm so happy!" I will definitely take good care of you. "
Wang Qiang stretched out his hand and gently hugged Li Mei, and the two snuggled up tightly, as if going back in time and regaining the sweetness of the year.
"Sister Mei, let's move towards the future together." Wang Qiang whispered in Li Mei's ear.
"Well, we're together." Li Mei replied softly.
In the days that followed, Li Mei and Wang Qiang lived a life of affection just like when they were in love. Together, they plan their future lives and look forward to a laid-back retirement in their hometown.
Sometimes, the two go out for a walk together and enjoy the scenery along the way. They will walk down the streets hand in hand, as if they have returned to their youth.
"Sister Mei, look how beautiful the flowers are blooming over there." Wang Qiang pointed to the flowers blooming on the side of the road and said.
"yes, it's beautiful." Li Mei smiled and said, "We can also plant some flowers and plants in our hometown in the future to make our home more beautiful." "
"Great idea!" Wang Qiang said happily, "When the time comes, we will take care of the garden together, grow some vegetables and fruits, and live a self-sufficient life." "
The two chatted about their future plans, and both had happy smiles on their faces.
Sometimes, they also cook together at home and enjoy the warmth of the two of them.
"Sister Mei, how about you try this dish?" Wang Qiang handed Li Mei a spoonful of freshly cooked dishes.
"Well, it tastes so good! Your craft is getting better and better. Li Mei exclaimed.
"That's because of you by my side, I can make such delicious dishes." Wang Qiang said dotingly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and each felt the warmth and love of the other.
As the days passed, Li Mei and Wang Qiang's lives became more and more harmonious. They plan for the future together and enjoy the leisure time of retirement together. Although there were some worries in the past, now they all feel heartfelt happiness and contentment.
"Sister Mei, I really appreciate you for always being by my side." One day, Wang Qiang suddenly spoke.
"Director Wang, I also thank you. You gave me a whole new life. Li Mei said softly.
The two sat in each other's arms, smiling happily. They believe that as long as they love each other, the future will be better.
In this way, Li Mei and Wang Qiang enjoyed a few years of retirement in their hometown. Together, they planted flowers and plants, took care of their own vegetable garden, and lived a leisurely life.
One day, Li Mei was watering flowers and plants in the yard, and Wang Qiang came out of the house.
"Sister Mei, I just received a phone call from an old friend of mine." Wang Qiang said.
"Oh? Did something happen?" Li Mei asked curiously.
"He invited us to his house because he wanted to catch up with us." Wang Qiang said, "Are you free?" Do you want to go along?"
"Of course I'm free!" Li Mei said happily, "I haven't seen your old friend for a long time, and I just want to go out for a walk." "
"That's great, I'll tell him we'll go." Wang Qiang said happily.
Soon after, Li Mei and Wang Qiang came to the home of Wang Qiang's old friend. The old friend greeted them warmly, and the three of them sat down to say hello.
"Wang Qiang, how have you been doing all these years?" The old friend asked.
"Very good, very good, Sister Mei and I are very comfortable in our hometown." Wang Qiang said with a smile.
"yes, I heard that the two of you are living together, it's great." An old friend exclaimed, "You all look refreshed, not at all like you are retired." "
"That's because life is so fulfilling because of each other's company." Li Mei said with a smile.
The three of them chatted very much, and bursts of laughter erupted from time to time. Wang Qiang and his old friends recalled the past of those years, and Li Mei also listened with relish.
"By the way, have you two considered adopting a child?" The old friend asked suddenly.
This question made Li Mei and Wang Qiang stunned. They never thought of adopting a child, after all, they were already old, and it was not easy to take care of themselves.
"Adopt a child? We never considered this. Wang Qiang said with some hesitation.
"You two are so affectionate, I think adopting a child will enrich your lives." The old friend said enthusiastically, "I have some relevant information, do you want to read it?"
Li Mei and Wang Qiang looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. After a while, Li Mei said, "We will think about it."
Seeing that the two hesitated, the old friend didn't say anything more, but changed the topic. But this suggestion still made Li Mei and Wang Qiang feel a little fluctuating in their hearts.
Back at home, the two sat together on the couch and fell into deep thought.
"Adopt a child, do we really have the ability?" Li Mei said worriedly.
"I'm not sure. We're getting older, and it's not easy to take care of ourselves. Wang Qiang sighed.
"However, if we do adopt a child, our lives may be more meaningful." Li Mei thought and said.
"You have a point." Wang Qiang nodded, "But we still have to think about it carefully, after all, this is a very important decision." "
The two were silent for a long time, and finally reached a consensus.
"Okay, let's try to find out about adoption and see if it's a good fit for us." Li Mei said.
"Well, I agree." Wang Qiang nodded in agreement, "No matter what, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of any difficulties." "
Li Mei smiled and shook Wang Qiang's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Although there are still many unknowns ahead, as long as they are with each other, they are not afraid.
In this way, Li Mei and Wang Qiang began their journey to explore the adoption of children. Although it was not all smooth sailing, they worked hand in hand, believing that as long as they persevered, they would definitely find their own happiness.
After some discussion and consideration, Li Mei and Wang Qiang decided to officially start the process of adopting a child. They first went to the relevant departments to consult about the specific process and filled out various application forms.
"The process seems quite complicated." Li Mei looked at the document in her hand and said with some concern.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to complete it." Wang Qiang gently held Li Mei's hand and comforted.
The two patiently filled out various forms and participated in relevant training courses. Throughout the process, they often discussed and encouraged each other.
"We've finally waited for this day!" Li Mei hugged Wang Qiang excitedly, her eyes moist.
"yes, we've finally got our wish." Wang Qiang was also excited, and hugged Li Mei tightly.
Just as they were ecstatic, the social worker called and informed them that they had arranged a child for them.
"Really? Great!" Li Mei happily took the phone, "When can we see him?"
After some communication, Li Mei and Wang Qiang learned that they would go to the children's welfare home tomorrow morning to pick up their children. The two couldn't wait to make all kinds of preparations and waited for this important moment.
"Hi, little friend, my name is Li Mei, and this is Wang Qiang. We are your new family. Li Mei said gently, crouching down to make eye contact with the little boy.
The little boy hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to walk up to Li Mei.
"Hello, Auntie, Uncle." He whispered.
"What's your name?" Wang Qiang also squatted down and asked softly.
"My name is Xiao Ming." The little boy replied shyly.
Li Mei and Wang Qiang glanced at each other, and their faces were full of happy smiles. They finally waited for this child of their own.
"Xiao Ming, from today on, you are our child." Li Mei said gently, "We will love you well and make you feel happy and safe in our home." "
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with joy. He cautiously stretched out his hand and held Li Mei and Wang Qiang's hands.
"Thank you, auntie, uncle." He whispered.
Li Mei and Wang Qiang hugged Xiao Ming movingly, and the three hugged each other tightly. At this moment, they seem to have found the most important missing part of their lives, and their hearts are one with each other.
Since then, Xiao Ming has officially become the adopted son of Li Mei and Wang Qiang. The two did their best to give Xiao Ming endless love and care. They spent many happy times together, and Xiao Ming gradually adapted to this new family.
Sometimes, the three of them will go out together and have fun together. Xiao Ming always excitedly took Li Mei and Wang Qiang's hands and ran around.
"Slow down, Xiao Ming, don't tire yourself." Li Mei said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm in good spirits!" Xiao Ming said happily.
Wang Qiang watched the two frolicking, with a relieved smile on his face.
"Sister Mei, we are really lucky." He whispered.
"Yes, with Xiao Ming, our lives have become more colorful." Li Mei also said with emotion.
The two looked at each other and smiled, holding hands and walking beside Xiao Ming, and the steps of the three of them became more and more brisk.
As the days passed, Xiao Ming gradually grew up. He is smart and smart, has excellent academic performance, and is also very sensible and considerate. Li Mei and Wang Qiang watched their adopted son grow up little by little, and their hearts were full of infinite relief and pride.
"Xiao Ming, what do you want to do when you grow up?" One day, Li Mei asked curiously.
"I want to be a doctor and help more people." Xiao Ming said seriously.
"That's great!" Wang Qiang said approvingly, "We will definitely fully support you." "
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, happy smiles blooming on their faces.
This small family, although not related by blood, is full of endless love and warmth. Li Mei and Wang Qiang knew that with Xiao Ming, their lives would become better.
