In 1985, I was 18 years old. That year, I enlisted in the army and came to a strange place. The company commander is a serious middle-aged man, and his daughter Xiaofang is gentle and lovely, which made me fall in love at first sight.
After the recruit training, I was assigned to the company commander's ranks. Whenever I have a break, I will secretly observe Xiaofang, and her every move makes my heart move. However, I knew that I was just an ordinary soldier, and she was the daughter of a company commander, and the distance between us seemed unreachable.
One day, the company commander asked us to go on an urgent mission, and Xiaofang and I were assigned to a group. It was our first close encounter, and I was overwhelmed with nervousness. During the mission, we encountered danger, and I instinctively stood in front of Xiaofang. At that moment, I clearly felt her worried gaze.
After the task was completed, Xiaofang developed a crush on me. We started dating secretly, and those days were the best of my life. However, the good times were short-lived, and the day of demobilization was approaching.
The day before I was demobilized, I found the company commander and told him that I was going to marry Xiaofang. The company commander's eyes widened and he angrily reprimanded me: "You are a poor soldier, why do you marry my daughter? What qualifications do you have? ”
I was stunned, yes, what qualifications do I have? I'm just an ordinary soldier, I don't have a family background, I don't have a good income, what can I give Xiaofang happiness?
On the day of demobilization, I said goodbye to Xiaofang with tears in my eyes and returned to my hometown. I worked hard to get ahead and make myself qualified to stand by her side. However, fate played a trick on me again.
A few years later, I learned that Fang's business was in trouble, and that her father had fallen ill from overwork. I was so anxious that I decided to help her. I quit my job and came to her city.
When I saw Xiaofang again, she had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes showed exhaustion. I told her that I was going to help her share the stress and take care of her father. She tearfully agreed.
Together, we are getting the business on the right track. In the process, we rekindled our feelings for each other. However, her father was always against us being together.
One day, the company commander called me to his hospital bed and said to me, "I know you are a good person, but I can't let Xiaofang suffer with you." Unless you can show me that you have the power to give her happiness, I will never agree to you being together. ”
I understood the company commander's intentions and was determined to prove myself with practical actions. After a lot of hard work, I finally got the approval of the company commander. He agreed to our marriage.
At the wedding, I promised to give Xiaofang happiness. She smiled and wept and held my hand tightly.
Since then, we have lived happily ever after. Although there are still hardships and difficulties in life, we support each other and ride out the storms together. The years are like a song, and our love has become more and more firm in the baptism of the years.
This is my story, the love story of an ordinary soldier and the daughter of a company commander. There were twists and turns, but in the end we came together. I believe that as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome all difficulties.
As the years go by, our marriage is like a spring flower, gradually blooming into a beautiful color. Xiaofang was pregnant, and during that time, our lives were full of joy and anticipation. Every day after work, I would accompany her for a walk, listen to her tell stories from her childhood, and feel the happiness of becoming a parent.
On the day my baby was born, I nervously stayed outside the delivery room. When the doctor told me it was a boy, I burst into tears. We named him Zhuang Zhuang, hoping that he would grow up healthy and become a responsible man.
As we grow up, our lives become more colorful. Xiaofang quit her job to stay at home and concentrate on taking care of her children, while I worked harder to give my family a better living environment. However, fate always seems to like to put obstacles in our way.
That day, I was in a meeting in the company, and suddenly received a call from Xiaofang, her voice trembled: "Husband, father, he ...... He suddenly fainted and we are now in the hospital. ”
My heart tightened and I rushed to the hospital. The doctor told us that the company commander had a serious heart condition and needed surgery as soon as possible. Xiaofang and I agreed without hesitation.
The operation was successful, but the company commander's body was much worse than before. He began to rely on us, especially in front of Xiaofang, and he became like a child. During that time, we had to take care of both the children and the company commander, and although it was hard, I felt that this was what we should do.
One night, when I was walking with the company commander, he suddenly stopped, looked at the starry sky and said, "Boy, thank you for taking care of me and Xiaofang." I used to object to you being together, and now it seems that I was wrong. You really love each other, I'm relieved. ”
I held the company commander's hand and said with emotion: "Dad, don't worry, I will be good to Xiaofang for the rest of my life." ”
The company commander smiled and nodded, and at that moment, I seemed to see the shadow of his youth.
A little later, the company commander's condition deteriorated and he left us. He walked peacefully, with a satisfied smile on his face. We know that he has let go of the worries in his heart.
After sending off the company commander, our lives gradually returned to peace. Zhuang Zhuang went to elementary school, and Xiaofang also found a job near home. We started planning for our son's future and hoped that he would become a productive person.
However, life is always full of surprises. Just when we thought everything was going in a good direction, I lost my job due to an accident at the company.
During that time, I fell into confusion and low points. Xiaofang didn't blame me, she encouraged me: "Husband, don't be discouraged, I believe you will definitely find a better job." During this time, you will be at home with peace of mind, take care of Zhuangzhuang, and I will make money to support the family. ”
I couldn't be more moved, I didn't expect Xiaofang to stand by my side so strongly when I was most helpless.
After some hard work, I finally found a new job. Although the starting point is low, I believe that if you work hard, you will be able to make a difference.
Today, we have entered middle age, and we have grown up to be strong. Looking back, we are full of emotion. Although life is full of hardships, it is these hardships that make us cherish each other more and walk together firmly.
This is my story, the bits and pieces of an ordinary family in the long river of time. Although the future is still unknown, we believe that as long as we hold hands and stand shoulder to shoulder, we will be able to overcome one difficult time after another.
In the year of the college entrance examination, our whole family was nervous about him. Every night, Xiaofang would accompany him to review, and I would prepare supper for them. In those days, the atmosphere at home was tense and fulfilling, and we were all looking forward to a good future for Zhuangzhuang.
On the day the results of the college entrance examination were announced, Zhuang Zhuang ran home excitedly and told us that he had been admitted to a prestigious university. We hugged each other with joy and tears welled up in our eyes. To celebrate this joyous occasion, we decided to go on a trip as a family.
During the trip, we relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Xiaofang looked at the strong back and said to me: "Husband, our son has grown up, and I believe he will have a bright future." ”
I held Xiaofang's hand tightly and said with emotion: "Yes, he has grown up, and we are also old." However, as long as we are together as a family, I am satisfied. ”
After graduating from college, Zhuang Zhuang successfully found a good job. He worked hard and was quickly appreciated by his leadership. We are very proud of our son when he stands out in the workplace.
However, life is always full of twists and turns. Just when we thought everything was going in a good direction, Xiaofang suddenly fell ill. Doctors diagnosed her with a rare disease that required long-term treatment.
During that time, I quit my job to focus on taking care of Xiaofang. Zhuang Zhuang also rushes home after work every day to stay with his mother. Our family is united in the face of this sudden blow.
One night, I was walking with Xiaofang, she suddenly stopped, looked at the starry sky and said, "Husband, I know that you have worked hard during this time, but I am really happy." With you by my side, I don't feel afraid of any difficulties. ”
I hugged her tightly, tears sliding down her shoulders: "Fool, we will always be by your side and get through this together." ”
After a period of treatment, Xiaofang's condition gradually improved. We have regained hope in life. To celebrate this joyous occasion, we decided to hold a family reunion.
At the party, Zhuang Zhuang announced to us the good news: he is about to marry his girlfriend who has been in love for many years. We are very happy for their happiness and at the same time full of emotion. Time is like a song, and our son is about to start his own family life.
At the wedding, I looked at the happy smiles of my son and daughter-in-law, and my heart was full of emotion. Along the way, we have experienced countless tribulations, but it is these tribulations that make us cherish each other more and walk together firmly.
Today, we are entering our old age. Zhuang Zhuang and his daughter-in-law are filial and considerate, and often go home to accompany us. Whenever night comes, Xiaofang and I will snuggle together and reminisce about the old days. Although there are still hardships in life, we all believe that as long as we hold hands and stand shoulder to shoulder, we will definitely be able to overcome one difficulty after another.
This is my story, the bits and pieces of an ordinary family in the long river of time. We are a family, hand in hand to tide through the wind and rain, and write this extraordinary life with love.
After Zhuang Zhuang and his daughter-in-law got married, our lives have not changed much. They still go home often to stay with us, as before. Xiaofang's body gradually recovered, and she began to enjoy her old age, often dancing square dances with the old ladies in the community.
I continued to do my job, occasionally helping my neighbors fix appliances or help with the kids. Although these things are not profitable, I enjoy them and think that such an ordinary life is also good.
One day, I was walking around the neighborhood when I suddenly heard someone calling me. When I looked back, it turned out to be an old comrade-in-arms I hadn't seen for many years. He shook my hand excitedly: "Dude, long time no see!" I heard your story and admire you so much! ”
I smiled and said modestly, "Everywhere, life is compelling." By the way, how did you end up here? ”
An old comrade-in-arms told me that he moved to this neighborhood after retiring and happened to see me here. We exchanged pleasantries for a while, and he invited me to his house.
That night, Xiaofang and I went to the house of our old comrades-in-arms. We haven't seen each other for years, and we talked a lot about the past. The old comrade-in-arms said with emotion: "When we were soldiers together, who would have thought that life would be like this now? ”
I nodded and exclaimed, "yes, time flies so fast." However, I think the current life is very good, although I am not rich and expensive, but the family is together, and there is happiness in the ordinary. ”
The old comrade-in-arms nodded and said with emotion: "That's right, life is like this, there are ups and downs. The key is to cherish the moment and cherish the people around you. ”
That night, we drank quite a bit and reminisced about the time we spent together. Although those days have passed, those youthful years have become precious memories in our lives.
After that, I often got together with my old comrades-in-arms, and sometimes called other old comrades-in-arms. We talked about interesting things from the past, and we also talked about life now. Although everyone's life is different, we all feel that cherishing the present moment and cherishing the people around us is the most important thing.
Today, we are entering our old age and life is gradually calming down. Xiaofang's body is getting tougher and tougher, and I continue to do my little things. Zhuang Zhuang and his daughter-in-law also often go home to accompany us, and our life is simple and happy.
This is my story, the bits and pieces of an ordinary family in the long river of time. We are a family, hand in hand to tide through the wind and rain, and write this extraordinary life with love. Although the future is still unknown, we believe that as long as we hold hands and stand shoulder to shoulder, we will be able to overcome one difficult time after another.
