That's an old thing. In 1988, I was demobilized and returned to my hometown, thinking that I could live a good life with my beloved woman, Xiaofang. Who knows, my sweetheart has become someone else's daughter-in-law.
That day, I happily took the demobilization fee and ran to Xiaofang's house. When her parents saw me, they sighed and said, "Son, you're late, Xiaofang was already married last month." ”
My head "buzzed", like a pot exploded. My eyes widened and I couldn't believe it was true. I asked Xiaofang's parents, and they said that I hadn't come back for too long, and Xiaofang couldn't wait. I walked out of her house weakly, and it felt like the whole world was falling apart.
After demobilization, I had a messy life. Until one day, I met a comrade-in-arms named Agui. He told me that the state now encourages entrepreneurship and that we can do some business together. I gritted my teeth and decided to give it a go.
Over the years, my business has grown bigger and bigger, and I have become a well-known entrepreneur in my hometown. And at this time, an unexpected person appeared.
That day, I was in the company to handle business, and the secretary said that someone was looking for me. When I looked up, it was Xiao Fang, whom I hadn't seen for many years. She was dressed modestly, and there were already wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. I asked coldly, "What are you coming to me for?" ”
Xiao Fang lowered her head and said hesitantly, "I heard that you are well developed, and I want to ask you for a favor." My man is seriously ill and needs a lot of money for treatment. I know I'm sorry for you before, but I can't help it, please help me. ”
I was very conflicted, the woman in front of me used to be the person I loved the most, but she became someone else's wife. What am I going to do?
I was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I can help you, but this is the last time." ”
Xiao Fang thanked her again and again, tears sliding down her cheeks. I watched her departing back, and my heart was mixed.
Later, I learned that Xiaofang's man was a good person and treated their mother and son very well. The resentment in my heart gradually dissolved, and I began to help them sincerely.
Later, Xiaofang's man recovered, and the family lived a happy life. And I, too, found my partner and lived a new life.
Time flies, and that past has gradually faded. But when I think back to that time, I always feel a lot of emotion in my heart. Life is like this, there are always some regrets and beauty intertwined, so that we can not forget.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed. My business is getting bigger and bigger, and I have become the pride of my hometown. Xiaofang's family also moved to another city, and we lost contact with each other. However, fate always seems to play a joke on us, and by chance, I met her again.
It was a business party, and I was there as a special guest. After three rounds of drinking, I got up to go to the bathroom, but I saw a familiar figure around the corner of the corridor - Xiaofang. She is still dressed plainly, but her temperament is more calm. I couldn't help but stop her: "Xiaofang, is it you?" ”
She turned around and saw me, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "It's you, such a coincidence." ”
We found a quiet corner and chatted about the changes over the years. It turned out that after the death of her man, she was alone with her children, and it was not easy. I couldn't help but sigh: "Back then, I could have helped you more." ”
Xiaofang smiled and said, "It's all over, and you have helped me a lot." Now, I'm doing well. ”
That night, we talked for a long time, as if we wanted to make up for all these years. When we parted, we left each other's contact details.
In the days that followed, we would text and call from time to time. I found out that Xiaofang's life was not as good as she said. She has to take care of both her children and her elderly in-laws alone, and her life is very stressful.
One day, I couldn't help but say to her, "Xiaofang, if you want, you can come back to your hometown, and I can help you find a job." ”
Xiao Fang was silent for a while, and then said, "Thank you, but I can't trouble you." ”
I was anxious: "How is this trouble?" We are friends and it is right to help each other. ”
Xiao Fang smiled and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
So, Xiaofang returned to her hometown and took up a position in our company. She worked hard and was quickly recognized by everyone. And I also found the joy of life again in her company.
However, fate does not seem to intend for us to spend the rest of our lives in peace. One day, I learned that one of the company's investments was in trouble and could lead to the company's bankruptcy. I was anxious, but I couldn't tell Xiaofang, for fear that she would worry.
Just when I was in trouble, Xiaofang took the initiative to find me. She took out her savings and said, "This is my savings over the years, although it is not much, but I hope to help you get through it." ”
I was moved to tears and held her hand tightly: "Xiaofang, thank you." ”
Through our joint efforts, the company finally got through the difficulties. And we have also re-examined each other's feelings in the midst of this crisis. We understand that we have been in each other's hearts all these years and have never left.
Now, we have reached the twilight of our lives. In the afterglow of the setting sun, we leaned on each other and reminisced about the good old days. Although the years have left traces, our feelings have become deeper and deeper. There can be several decades in life, and we are fortunate to be with them.
As time went by, my relationship with Xiaofang grew deeper and deeper. We are no longer the passion and impulse of our youth, but the warmth of supporting each other and spending the rest of our lives together. After the company's crisis passed, our lives returned to calm, but there was a faint happiness in this calm.
Xiaofang's son has become an excellent young man under her education, he studied abroad and comes back to accompany Xiaofang every vacation. And I tried my best to play the role of an elder, giving him care and guidance.
One weekend, Xiaofang and I decided to go for a walk in the countryside. Drive through familiar country roads, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves on your face, warm and soft. Xiao Fang looked out the window and suddenly sighed: "This road, we walked countless times when we were young. ”
I smiled and responded, "yes, we were both young and had a lot of dreams. ”
Xiaofang turned her head and looked at me, a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes: "At that time, we always thought that there was still a lot of time in the future to complete all our dreams. ”
I shook her hand and said affectionately, "It's not too late, we still have time to complete those unfinished dreams together." ”
We found a picturesque place to stop and walk hand in hand along the forest trails. The autumn breeze is cool, the leaves are falling, and everything looks so beautiful. We talked about the past, talked about the future, as if we had returned to that innocent era.
As she walked, Xiao Fang suddenly stopped and looked at me seriously: "You know, I have always had a wish, that is, I want to go to see the sea with you." ”
I was slightly stunned, then smiled: "It's not easy, wait for the next vacation, we'll go to the beach." ”
Xiao Fang's smile was full of anticipation, and her eyes seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to see the blue sea.
The holiday was fast approaching and we went to the beach together. Standing on the beach, looking at the boundless ocean, Xiaofang's face was filled with a childlike smile. She took off her shoes and ran barefoot on the beach, I following closely behind her. The sea breeze howls by, bringing with it the saltiness of the sea and the breath of freedom.
At night, we sat on the beach, watching the stars and listening to the sound of the waves. Xiao Fang leaned on my shoulder and whispered, "Thank you for accompanying me to fulfill this dream." ”
I hugged her tightly, and my heart was full of gratitude: "Xiaofang, being with you is the happiest thing in my life. ”
Our love, like the sea, has gone through ups and downs, but it has never changed. On this quiet night, we made a promise to the future, whether we live or die, hand in hand.
As the days passed, we cherished each other's company and enjoyed every moment of life. The years have carved their marks on our faces, but our hearts are still young. We understand that when and where we are around, we have the best time.
On Xiaofang's birthday, I decided to give her a special surprise. I arranged a small concert in advance and invited Xiaofang's favorite singer to sing. When Xiaofang walked into the venue and saw the layout and musicians on the stage, she covered her mouth in surprise, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes.
I walked over, shook her hand, and said with a smile, "Happy birthday, Xiaofang." I hope you are always happy. ”
Xiao Fang hugged me tightly, tears sliding down my shoulders: "Thank you, this is the best birthday of my life." ”
That night, we danced to the sound of beautiful music. I looked at the glint in Xiao Fang's eyes, and my heart was full of satisfaction. I know that no matter how much life throws at us, as long as we are there for each other, we can find the true meaning of happiness.
However, the good times did not last long, and Xiaofang suddenly fell ill. Doctors told us that her condition was serious and that she needed immediate treatment. I looked at the weak Xiaofang on the hospital bed, and my heart was full of pain and helplessness. I took her hand and whispered, "Xiaofang, you have to be strong, we will get through this together." ”
Xiao Fang smiled, her eyes flashing with determination: "I believe in you, we will defeat the disease together." ”
During Xiaofang's treatment, I stayed by her side and took care of her daily life and diet. We reminisce about the past together and look forward to the future together. Xiaofang's condition gradually improved, and our mood gradually brightened.
Finally, Xiaofang recovered and was discharged from the hospital. She stood in the sun with a bright smile: "Thank you for accompanying me through this difficult time." ”
I hugged her tightly, and my heart was full of gratitude: "Xiaofang, being with you is the happiest thing in my life. ”
We decided to go on a trip together to fulfill a dream that we had failed to fulfill when we were younger. We came to a beautiful town and rented a cottage by the sea. Every morning, we walked together on the beach, watching the sunrise and sunset, and feeling the beauty of nature.
During the trip, we met many interesting people and heard many touching stories. We supported each other to face life's challenges together and spent many unforgettable moments together.
The years are like a song, and our love is becoming more and more firm in the baptism of time. We understand that when and where we are around, we have the best time. We cherish each other's company and enjoy every moment of life. The years have carved their marks on our faces, but our hearts are still young. We believe that as long as we love each other, we can overcome all difficulties and welcome a better future.
