It was 185 years, and my hard work in the unit finally came to fruition, and the news of the promotion came quietly like the happy rain in spring. While rejoicing, there was a trace of apprehension in my heart, because I knew that when I went home this time, I would inevitably be besieged by the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family, forcing me to go on a blind date.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the house, I heard my mother muttering there: "Look at it, the young men in the village are all married, and you are still single, and when you come back this time, you have to go on a blind date to say anything!" "I had a splitting headache, and at this time, the village chief came to my house, saw my bitter face, and quietly asked me if I was in trouble.
I told him what was on my mind, and the village chief rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not easy, you hide from my house first, and then come out when the limelight passes." "As soon as I received the amnesty, I packed up a few clothes and secretly hid in the village chief's house.
There was a little girl in the village chief's family, named Xiaofang, who was just eighteen that year. She is handsome, but her temperament is like a tomboy, and she is always busy with this and that. That day, I was hiding in the back room and heard her talking to the village chief: "Dad, why is there a 'guest' in our house?" The village chief smiled and said, "This is a special situation, you have to help me take good care of him." ”
Since that day, Xiaofang and I have known each other. She would bring me food every day, and sometimes she would bring some snacks that she had made herself. The two of us always have endless words together, her yearning for this world, her vision for the future, makes me, a person who has worked hard in the workplace for many years, feel heartbroken.
One day, I heard a noise outside, and it turned out that someone had come to the village chief's house to look for me. Xiaofang was so anxious that I comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me." "I stood up and told them that I was just trying to hide and not do anything unseemly.
The men were stopped by me and walked away. Xiao Fang looked at me with admiration in her eyes. At that moment, I knew that I had fallen in love with this honest girl.
Just when I was about to confess to Xiaofang, a letter suddenly came from home, saying that my mother was sick and asked me to go back immediately. I was so anxious that I said goodbye to Xiaofang and hurried home.
My mother's illness is not serious, I have been with her at home for a few days, but I am always worried about Xiaofang. Finally, I couldn't help but say to my mother: "Mom, I like Xiaofang, the girl from the village chief's family, and I want to marry her." The mother was stunned, and then said with a smile: "You kid, why didn't you say it earlier, I thought you didn't like her." ”
In this way, I set out on the road to the village chief's house again. This time, I didn't do it to hide from the blind date, but to confess to my beloved girl. Xiaofang agreed to my marriage proposal, and we walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
Now, we have gone through ups and downs for decades, and those past ups and downs have become witnesses of our feelings. Xiaofang is still the honest girl in my heart, and I, for her and this family, strive to be a better person. This is our story, simple and ordinary, but it is the most precious memory in our hearts.
Time flies, our children have grown up, Xiaofang's temperament is still so hearty, and every corner of the house is full of her laughter. On that day, the sun was just right, and Xiaofang sat on the stone bench in the yard, choosing the vegetables she had just picked from the field. I walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Old woman, it's time for us to enjoy the blessings." ”
Xiao Fang raised her head, and there was a smile hidden in the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes: "What you said is light, there is a big mess in the field and at home, how can you say that you can put it down." ”
"Let's let the children share some of the burden, and let them learn to be independent." I sat down next to her and took the basket from her.
Xiao Fang nodded and sighed: "Yes, time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, we are all old." ”
"There is also the joy of being old." I smiled, but a touch of sentimentality welled up in my heart. We have come all the way, ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs.
At this moment, the village chief walked in, saw the two of us, and said with a smile: "Brother, sister-in-law, I heard that the children in the city are coming back, you are ready to prepare, and our family will have a good gathering." ”
When Xiao Fang heard this, she immediately became energetic: "Really? You'll have to be prepared. She got up and went to Zhang Luo, I looked at her back, and my heart was warm.
On the day the children came home, the house was bustling. After Xiao Fang was busy, she prepared a table of good dishes, and everyone sat around, talking and laughing. After the meal, the children gathered around us and listened to our stories about the past, and those hardships and joys of the past have now become warm memories.
Late at night, when the children went back to their rooms to rest, Xiaofang and I sat in the courtyard and watched the starry sky. I held her hand and said softly, "Xiaofang, you've worked hard all these years." ”
Xiao Fang leaned on my shoulder and said with a smile: "Follow you, I don't feel hard." As long as you're there, you're home. ”
In this way, under the starry sky, we quietly enjoy this tranquility and happiness. Although life is ordinary, because of Xiaofang and this home, every day is full of warmth and hope.
The next day, I woke up early in the morning, and Xiaofang was still asleep. I got up gently and went to the field. Standing on that land, I seemed to see myself when I was young, at that time, I worked hard for life and struggled for Xiaofang. Today, although the years have left traces on us, the love for life and concern for family members have always been the same.
Back at home, Xiaofang had already gotten up and was busy in the kitchen. I walked over and hugged her from behind: "Xiaofang, when the children are married, we will enjoy our old age, go where we want to go, and live the life we want to live." ”
Xiao Fang turned around, her eyes flashing with happiness: "Okay, let's say okay, let's go and realize the dream of our youth together." ”
In this way, we walked into a new life hand in hand, there may be challenges, there may be difficulties, but we firmly believe in our hearts that as long as there is love and each other, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. And our story, like the ground under our feet, is ordinary but full of power.
One by one, the children started a family, and our lives gradually became more and more leisurely. Xiaofang and I have more time to realize our dreams when we were younger. We decided to go on a trip to see landscapes that we had only seen in books.
For our first trip, we chose a small town nearby. There are green mountains and green waters, and the air is fresh. We stayed in a quaint B&B, and every morning, we would go for a walk in the mountains together, breathing in the earthy air and feeling the intimacy with nature.
One day, we met an old man on the mountain road, who was in good spirits, carrying a hoe on his back, and was watering the flowers and plants on the side of the road. I stepped forward to greet me, "Uncle, you are really in good spirits." ”
The old man replied with a smile: "People are old, but their hearts can't be old." Why not do what you can every day to exercise and beautify the environment. ”
Xiao Fang listened from the sidelines, a glint of approval flashed in her eyes. We chatted with the old man for a while, and he told us many stories about the mountain, which gave us a deeper understanding of the town.
After returning from the trip, Xiaofang suddenly had an idea: "Let's also learn from the old man and plant some flowers and plants at home, which can not only beautify the environment, but also enrich our lives." ”
I immediately agreed, and we had an extra small flower bed in our yard. We planted roses, moon flowers, and some beautiful flowers that I can't name. Every day, we take the time to care for these flowers, and watching them sprout from seed to blossom fills our hearts with a sense of accomplishment.
One day, Xiaofang squatted in front of the flower bed, gently stroked the petals, and suddenly said with emotion: "Life is like this flower, from the bud to the bloom, and then to the withering, every stage has its beauty." ”
I walked over, stood beside her, and nodded with deep feeling: "Yes, Xiaofang, we are also going through all stages of life, and having your company at every stage is my greatest happiness." ”
Our days flowed slowly in the scent of flowers, calm and fulfilling. Together, we reminisce about the past, and we plan for the future together. Xiaofang can always give me the most intimate advice when I am confused, and I try to be her most solid support.
In this way, we lived the life we wanted to live, with the blessings of our children. We have been to many places and seen a lot of scenery, but no matter where we go, what we miss most in our hearts is always the flower bed at home, the place that has witnessed the ups and downs we have walked together.
The years have carved their marks on our faces, but our hearts are still young. With love and hope, we continue to write our story, the story about Xiaofang and me, about family and dreams.
As we get older, our pace grows slower, but our hearts are still young. We began to cherish every day together, every moment of companionship.
One day, Xiaofang suddenly proposed: "Let's go see the sea, I have always dreamed of standing on the beach with you and feeling the sea breeze." ”
I looked at the expectant glint in her eyes, and my heart was full of emotion. I held her hand tightly and said, "Okay, we'll go tomorrow." ”
So, we started our trip to the seaside. When we stand by the sea, looking at the endless waters and the magnificent beaches, our hearts are filled with excitement and joy.
Xiao Fang smiled and shouted at me, "Look, the sea is really beautiful!" Like a little girl, she excitedly ran to the beach, picked up shells, stepped on the waves, and felt the embrace of the sea.
I looked at her back, and my heart was filled with happiness. I walked up to her and held her hand tightly, and we felt the sea breeze and listened to the sound of the waves together.
At that moment, I deeply felt that no matter where we went, no matter what we went through, as long as we had each other's company, our lives would be full of happiness and fulfillment.
Time flies, our children have their own lives, and we are still living our happy lives in each other's company. We tend to the flowers together in the flower beds at home, walk together in the sunset, and watch the stars together at night.
Xiaofang will always say: "Look, that star is so bright, just like our love, even if the years go by, it is still as bright as ever." ”
I held her hand tightly and replied with a smile: "Yes, our love is like this starry sky, even after countless years, it is still dazzling. ”
Our story, like this starry sky, is ordinary, but full of love, hope, and happiness. We will continue to move forward together and continue to write our story forever.
