In the early morning of the town, the sun shines through the cracks of the old elm trees and dappled on the bluestone pavement. Li Xiuzhen stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, but her heart fluctuated. Today, she wants to go against the wishes of her family and marry Zhang Wei, a poor boy who has infinite possibilities in her eyes, but is penniless in the eyes of her family.
"Xiuzhen, have you really thought about it?" Her mother's voice, trembling and reluctant, interrupted her thoughts.
Li Xiuzhen turned around, with firmness in her eyes: "Mom, I know you're worried about me, but I believe in Zhang Wei, he has dreams and abilities, he just needs time." ”
"Time? How many years of your youth can you have? The mother sighed, her eyes full of worry.
"Mom, I love him and am willing to fight with him." Li Xiuzhen held her mother's hand, her eyes were firm.
The wedding is simple, with no fancy decorations, just the blessings of a few close friends. Zhang Wei stood in front of Li Xiuzhen, his eyes flashing with gratitude and promise: "Xiuzhen, I will use all my strength to give you happiness." ”
"I believe in you, Wei." Li Xiuzhen smiled, tears flashing in her eyes.
The people in the town were talking, some shaking their heads and sighing, and some snickering. But as if they hadn't heard, the two held hands and walked side by side towards their common future.
Life after marriage is not easy, and Zhang Wei's entrepreneurial road is full of difficulties. In the dead of night, Li Xiuzhen would always sit under the lamp, sewing and mending clothes, while listening to Zhang Wei talk about his dreams and plans.
"Xiuzhen, today I failed again." Zhang Wei's voice was tired and frustrated.
"It's okay, Wei, failure is the mother of success." Li Xiuzhen comforted and handed him a cup of hot tea.
"But I'm worried, I'm afraid you'll suffer with me." Zhang Wei held the teacup, his eyes full of guilt.
"We are husband and wife, sharing blessings and difficulties." Li Xiuzhen smiled, her eyes full of trust and support.
Such days, although bitter, are also full of hope and warmth. The two support each other to face life's challenges together.
Life is like a cup of bitter tea, and the days of Li Xiuzhen and Zhang Wei slowly unfold in the town. Zhang Wei's entrepreneurial journey was full of ups and downs, he tried to open a small restaurant, set up a street stall, and even worked as a temporary porter, but each attempt seemed to pass by success.
"Xiuzhen, am I useless?" After a failure, Zhang Wei sat on the shabby sofa in frustration, his eyes confused.
Li Xiuzhen put down the needlework in her hand, walked to him, and gently held his hand: "Wei, you're not useless, it's just that the time hasn't come." I believe in you, you're just missing an opportunity. ”
"Opportunity? Where are the opportunities? Zhang Wei smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-deprecation in his voice.
"Opportunities have to be created by themselves," Li Xiuzhen encouraged him, "Look, there is not a decent bookstore in this town, haven't you always liked to read?" Maybe give it a try. ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes, but it soon dimmed: "Open a bookstore? Where do we have so much money? ”
"We can start small," Li Xiuzhen said firmly, "starting with old books and slowly accumulating them." ”
As a result, there is a small second-hand bookstore in the town. At first, the business was bleak, but Li Xiuzhen was never discouraged, and she supported Zhang Wei in her own way. She set up a small table in the bookstore, offered free tea to customers, and attracted everyone who walked into the bookstore with her enthusiasm and sincerity.
"Xiuzhen, someone praised your tea for being delicious today." Zhang Wei came home at night with a long-lost smile on his face.
"Really? That's great! Li Xiuzhen's eyes bent into crescent moons, "You see, as long as we put our hearts into it, there will always be someone who will approve it." ”
As time passed, the bookstore's business gradually improved, and Zhang Wei's face gradually became brighter. Their lives are still simple, but they are full of hope and drive. When night falls, the two sit in the corner of the bookstore, planning the future together.
"Xiuzhen, when we have money, what do you want to do?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.
"I just want to travel with you and see the outside world." Li Xiuzhen snuggled on Zhang Wei's shoulder, her eyes flashing with longing.
Zhang Wei's bookstore has gradually become famous in the town, but he has always had an innovative dream in his heart, which is to combine traditional reading with modern technology to create a new reading experience. He spent his evenings researching and experimenting, and finally developed a prototype of an initial e-book reader.
"Wei, what are you doing?" Li Xiuzhen leaned over curiously and looked at the electronic device in Zhang Wei's hand.
"Xiuzhen, you see, this is an e-book reader designed by me, which can read e-books on the screen, is easy to carry, and can also adjust the font size." Zhang Wei excitedly showed her.
"Really? It's amazing! Li Xiuzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, "Do you think anyone will like it?" ”
"I'm not sure either, but I'd like to give it a try." Zhang Wei was a little apprehensive, but his eyes were full of hope.
Just as Zhang Wei was about to give up looking for investment, a middle-aged man who frequented the bookstore became interested in Zhang Wei's e-book reader. The middle-aged man, Mr. Chen, is an experienced investor who sees the potential of Zhang Wei's innovative project.
"Zhang Wei, this project of yours is very promising, and I am willing to invest." Mr. Chen said suddenly in a small talk.
"Really? Mr. Chen, you're not kidding, are you? Zhang Wei could hardly believe his ears.
"Of course not, what I value is your innovative spirit and perseverance." Mr. Chen said seriously.
After receiving Mr. Chen's investment, Zhang Wei's career ushered in a turning point. He began to build a team to further develop and improve the e-book reader. With Mr. Chen's help, Zhang Wei's innovative projects have gradually attracted more attention and investment.
"Xiuzhen, we finally have hope!" Zhang Wei hugged Li Xiuzhen excitedly, tears flashing in his eyes.
"Wei, I knew you could." Li Xiuzhen hugged him tightly, her heart full of pride and joy.
As the project progressed, Zhang Wei's e-book reader began to become famous in the market, and their lives gradually improved. The people in the town began to look at Zhang Wei with admiration, and their story spread in the town and became a good story.
Over time, Zhang Wei's e-book reader became a huge success in the market, and his company expanded rapidly, becoming a bright star in the town. The attitude of the family and society has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and people have begun to look at Li Xiuzhen with admiration, thinking how far-sighted she was in choosing Zhang Wei back then.
"Xiuzhen, you really have a vision, we really looked away at the beginning." The elders of the family said to Li Xiuzhen with a smile at a party.
Li Xiuzhen responded with a smile: "I just believe in Zhang Wei, believe in his talent and hard work." ”
"Now Zhang Wei is the pride of our town," another relative exclaimed, "and your vision is so accurate." ”
Zhang Wei's success not only changed his and Li Xiuzhen's lives, but also brought vitality to the town. He did not forget his original intention, actively repaid the society, and contributed to the education and cultural undertakings of the town.
"Wei, you really did it." At a dinner party, Li Xiuzhen watched Zhang Wei give a speech on stage, and her heart was full of pride.
"Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Zhang Wei looked at Li Xiuzhen affectionately in front of everyone, "You gave me courage and strength." ”
Li Xiuzhen's eyes were filled with tears, she knew that all this was not easy to come by. She and Zhang Wei have experienced countless difficulties and challenges together, but it is these experiences that have made their love stronger and Zhang Wei's career more brilliant.
"Xiuzhen, we can finally go on a trip together." Zhang Wei said excitedly to Li Xiuzhen on a weekend morning.
"Really? Where do you want to go? Li Xiuzhen's eyes flashed with anticipation.
"Go to the Paris you've always dreamed of, see the Eiffel Tower and stroll along the banks of the Seine." Zhang Wei said softly.
Li Xiuzhen hugged Zhang Wei excitedly, she knew that this was not only a trip, but also a testimony of the years they had gone through together.
After 35 years of ups and downs, Zhang Wei and Li Xiuzhen's family has not only achieved great commercial success, but also become a good story for local people. Their story, like an inspirational movie, inspires every young person with a dream.
"Wei, you see, how energetic young people are now." Li Xiuzhen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the company's new building, pointing to the busy crowd outside and said to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei walked over with a smile and shook her hand: "Yes, it feels good that our story can give them some inspiration." ”
Their company is now not only a leader in technological innovation, but also a cradle for young talent. Zhang Wei and Li Xiuzhen often return to the town to participate in local education and public welfare activities, and use their own experiences to tell the children: if you have a dream, you must persevere.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, hello!" A young entrepreneur walked up after a lecture with respect in his eyes, "Listening to your stories, I am more determined to start my own business." ”
"Come on, young man." Zhang Wei encouraged him, "As long as you persevere, you will always find the sky that belongs to you." ”
Li Xiuzhen also smiled and nodded: "Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up." ”
In the evening, the two sat on the balcony of their home and enjoyed a peaceful evening.
"Xiuzhen, do you remember when we first got married?" Zhang Wei recalled the past with tenderness in his eyes.
"Of course I remember, back then we didn't have anything, but we had each other." Lee so-jin snuggled up to his shoulder, her face beaming with happiness.
"Now we have so many, but the most precious thing is you." Zhang Wei held Li Xiuzhen's hand tightly and said with emotion.
Their story is like a thick book, a record of love, perseverance, and success. And this book continues to write a new chapter.
