In front of the mirror, combing Lin Wanfen, who had some sparse gray hair, quietly looked at her reflection. At the age of 60, wrinkles have crept up the corners of her eyes, but those eyes are still as clear as ever. Today is the 35th wedding anniversary of her and her wife, and she wants this day to be a little different.
"Yuhua, I'm wondering, should we get back to the feeling we had back then?" Lin Wanfen whispered to her wife Zhang Yuhua, holding two photos of her youth in her hands, and her eyes showed a little expectation.
Zhang Yuhua smiled, his eyes were full of pampering, "Wanfen, are you nostalgic?" What kind of love are we talking about at our age? "
"Why, can't you be a little romantic after sixty?" Lin Wanfen retorted coquettishly.
In the living room, their daughter Chen Jing listened to the conversation between her parents while flipping through the magazine in her hand, and couldn't help but interject: "Mom, you guys are really cute, if you want romance, you can go on a trip and take a few photos or something." "
"Girl, you are still young and don't understand emotional matters." Zhang Yuhua looked at her daughter with a pleasant face, but Chen Jing obviously didn't buy it.
"If you want to understand, you have to let me understand, you two, don't forget, my emotional world is still dry." Chen Jing pretended to be angry and turned her head away, causing the two old men to burst into laughter.
At dinner, Lin Wanfen made a few good dishes, and Zhang Yuhua took out her ten-year-old daughter Hong from the old wine cabinet. At the dinner table, the family was happy, and Lin Wanfen took the opportunity to propose: "Yuhua, we haven't danced for a while, do you remember our first dance music?" How about we do another song tonight? "
"Of course I remember, it was 'The Moon Represents My Heart.'" Zhang Yuhua got up, got up and took Lin Wanfen's hand, and a familiar melody sounded in the room.
Chen Jing clapped her hands on the side, infected with the sweetness between her parents, and also made her mood soften in the warmth of this family.
"Look at you, this dance is so old, your heart is not old." Neighbor Han Meili walked in the door with a plate of home-made snacks, and when she saw this warm scene, she smiled and spoke.
"Sister Beauty, come, try the braised pork I made, I have made a lot of money today." Lin Wanfen invited Han Meili to celebrate, and at the same time, a trace of warmth flowed in her heart.
After dinner, Han Meili sat on the sofa and chatted with Lin Wanfen about family life. "Wanfen, I see that you are in such good spirits today, is there something good about to happen?" Han Meili asked casually.
"Actually, today is our wedding anniversary, and I'm thinking, after so many years, we should also inject some new meaning into our marriage." Lin Wanfen replied, with a slight longing in her tone.
"Ah, this is really good, love knows no age, love is full of water, your mentality is really enviable." Han Meili nodded in praise.
With the evening breeze blowing, the laughter and conversation of the family blended together, spread throughout the courtyard, and also opened the prelude to Lin Wanfen's romantic journey to regain love. The evening breeze blew with the coolness of the night, Lin Wanfen and Zhang Yuhua set up a table in the courtyard and lit candles, everything looked extraordinarily romantic.
"It's not a feeling of regain, it's like a second honeymoon." Chen Jing smiled and looked at the camera in her hand, ready to record this warm scene.
"Jingjing, you laugh at our old couple, but I really want to tell you that the relationship has nothing to do with the length of time, the key is to cherish each other." Lin Wanfen responded gently while fiddling with the tableware on the table.
"Mother is right, there can be a few beats in life, and when you meet someone you love, even if you grow old together, you must cherish it." Zhang Yuhua said to Chen Jing, her eyes full of love for her wife.
Chen Jing shook her head, "In my opinion, your marriage is just a formality, and now we are more in pursuit of freedom and individuality, and we don't necessarily have to live like this." "
Han Meili came out of the kitchen, holding a plate of freshly steamed steamed buns in her hand, and when she heard Chen Jing's words, she couldn't help but interject, "Jingjing, you haven't met the right person." When that person shows up, you'll understand the weight of your mother's words. "
"I know you're right, but after all, every generation thinks differently, and I still think that marriage shouldn't be a bondage." Chen Jing insisted on her opinion, although she was happy that her mother was determined to rekindle her love.
Lin Wanfen listened to her daughter's words and smiled, "Actually, no matter what era, the freedom to pursue love and respect for marriage are not contradictory. You see, your dad and I are old, but we still maintain our love for life, and this is the best example we can give you. "
After dinner, the family sat around in the living room, and Zhang Yuhua proposed to take a look at the photo album of the past and relive the bits and pieces of the past. The album contains photos of them when they were young, as well as Chen Jing's immature appearance when she was a child.
Chen Jing looked at the photo of her parents when they were young, and couldn't help sighing, "You were really young and energetic at that time, has the relationship between you always been so good?" "
"Whether a relationship is good or not is not set in stone. It requires both sides to work with care, just as this flower needs moisture. Lin Wanfen picked up a photo taken on their honeymoon and pointed to herself and her husband on it.
Chen Jing was silent for a while, and then said softly, "I think I may not have learned this lesson yet, how to love, how to find myself in marriage." "
"The answer to the 'how' is different for everyone." Zhang Yuhua looked at her daughter and said slowly, "You have to find your own answer." "
Han Meili took advantage of the atmosphere and continued: "Actually, life is a process of continuous search and exploration, you see your mother, at this age, she is still working hard for love, this kind of courage and determination is more valuable than when she was young." "
Chen Jing listened silently, and she began to understand why her parents were redefining their marriage at this age, perhaps this was exactly what she lacked, a positive attitude towards life and love.
On that warm and profound evening, the conversation of the family was not only a review of the past, but also a prospect for the future. Lin Wanfen and Zhang Yuhua's actions made Chen Jing begin to reflect on her own emotional outlook, and Han Meimei's views on freedom of love and respect for marriage also planted a seed of thinking in Chen Jing's heart. The warm sun shone under the eaves, and a mischievous swallow swooped down, cutting through the dreary air. Today is the day when Lin Wanfen and Zhang Yuhua hold a family gathering, and relatives and friends have come to their home, which is very lively.
"Really, Uncle Zhang, you have to let Aunt Wanfen know your heart, everyone is very concerned about your happiness." Zhang Dajun, a distant relative, rubbed his hands and said half-jokingly.
"Haha, Dajun, after so many years, what can we husband and wife not know?" Zhang Yuhua showed a warm smile.
When Lin Wanfen heard this, she suddenly became serious, she took Zhang Yuhua's hand, her voice trembled slightly, "Yuhua, are you really happy?" Is our marriage just about accompanying each other? "
This sudden question made the atmosphere of the gathering silent for a while. Zhang Yuhua looked at his wife with gentle eyes, "Wanfen, I... I am grateful for this company, you are my wife and the most important person in my life. "
"Yuhua, I think we can do more. Not to be together for the sake of being there for each other, but to make each other feel happy and satisfied. Lin Wanfen said, her tone firm.
Chen Jing watched from the sidelines, she saw her mother's bravery, and also saw the tears in her father's eyes. She walked over and patted her father on the shoulder, "Dad, Mom is right, happiness and satisfaction are the true meaning of marriage, and I began to understand." "
"Quietly, you... What do you think of our quest for love? Lin Wanfen turned to her daughter, full of anticipation.
"Mom, I've always thought that marriage is a constraint, but seeing you, I realized that love is free, and even at this age, it's worth fighting for your own happiness." Chen Jing's voice became more and more determined.
Han Meili was also infected by this sincere atmosphere, she walked over and looked at Lin Wanfen and his wife, "Wanfen, Yuhua, do you know?" In you, I see marriage at its best. "
"Actually, I'm also thinking, have I given Limber enough love for so many years?" Han Meimei's eyes showed reflection.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Jing said: "Actually, it's not just my mother who is working hard, Aunt Han, your relationship with Lin Bo is also very good, maybe everyone expresses love in different ways, but the goals are the same." "
Zhang Yuhua looked at Han Meili, and then said: "Yes, Meili, each of us has our own view of love, no matter what, the key is to find a way to make each other happy." "
The atmosphere of the family gathering has become unusually warm, and the topic has shifted from everyday small talk to a deeper discussion of love and marriage. Lin Wanfen and Zhang Yuhua, as well as the participants, all found deep resonance in such discussions.
The conversation that took place at this party not only sublimated the relationship between Lin Wanfen and Zhang Yuhua, but also made Chen Jing and Han Meili re-examine their understanding of love and marriage. After the conversation, the walls of the three women's hearts seemed to be broken, and each other's hearts were inspired and connected. Lin Wanfen's family reunion is gradually coming to an end, and the moon in the night sky hangs quietly, like an audience, waiting for the end of this family drama.
"Yuhua, I think we should go out and walk more, see the world, and increase some common memories." Lin Wanfen proposed, holding the travel brochure of the two people in her hand.
"Good idea, Wanfen, I have the same idea." Zhang Yuhua responded gently, and the tacit understanding and resonance were naturally revealed between the two.
"Mom, Dad, I also want to participate in your project, and I also want to know more about your world." Chen Jing proposed, her eyes flashing with anticipation for the future.
"Absolutely!" Lin Wanfen's eyes lit up, "Jingjing, you will see that this world is much wider than we imagined." "
Han Meili walked over from the side and handed Chen Jing a psychological book, "Jingjing, I have read this book very touchingly, about marriage and personal growth, I think you will like it." "
"Thank you, Aunt Han, I will definitely read it carefully." Chen Jing took the book, her face full of gratitude.
A few days later, Lin Wanfen, Zhang Yuhua and Chen Jing attended a salon lecture on love and marriage, and the sharing there made them more firm in their concept of love.
"Yuhua, should we share our story here as well? Give young people a little inspiration. Lin Wanfen asked softly.
"Wanfen, I think that's a good idea. The reason why feelings can always be fresh is that we continue to learn and share. Zhang Yuhua replied, with some expectation.
In the days that followed, Lin Wanfen and Zhang Yuhua's relationship got better and better, and they even started a group about marriage in the community, attracting many young people like Chen Jing who were skeptical of traditional marriage concepts. Chen Jing herself is also gradually changing, she began to discuss and understand love more openly, and no longer deliberately avoided it.
When Han Meili saw this, she also felt down-to-earth in her heart. One day, she said to Lin Wanfen: "Wanfen, sometimes, the courage to change is more admirable than persistence." "
"Yes, beauty, what we can do is to use our way to influence and inspire everyone around us." Lin Wanfen's eyes were bright and full of strength.
Late at night, the house was quiet, Lin Wanfen was lying on the bed, and Zhang Yuhua held her hand tightly. She asked softly, "Did we really do it?" "
This question is like a star falling into a lake, but it ripples without shock. Do they really understand each other's love?
