If it weren't for that accident, I wouldn't have married her.
I have been working as an assembly line worker in an electronics factory for 5 years.
That day, I was busy on the assembly line as usual.
We have a girl named Xiaoli on this line, who is my colleague, beautiful, gentle, and very popular in the workshop.
And I'm just an ordinary worker, honest, just trying to earn some money to support my family.
Suddenly, the cacophony of sirens pierced the silence of the workshop.
Immediately afterward, a creepy voice came over the radio: "Emergency! Hazardous chemical leakage in the workshop! Evacuate all personnel immediately!"
For a time, the entire workshop fell into a panic.
People scrambled to the exit, shouting, crying, and cursing.
Someone falls, but he has no time to care for it, so he can only be trampled on by others.
I was staggered by the crowd, barely keeping my balance.
The strong smell of chemicals irritated my nerves and I just felt dizzy and blurred vision.
That's when I saw Lily.
She was squeezed to the ground, her calf cut by the machine next to her, and blood flowed.
Her face was contorted with pain, tears blurred her eyes, and a faint moan came from her mouth.
At that moment, my mind went blank.
I rushed forward desperately and grabbed her in my arms.
Seeing the wound on her leg, there was only one thought in my mind: I had to take her out of here!
I fumbled and pulled the knife out of my pocket, aimed it at her torn pants, and cut it without hesitation.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" I comforted her as I picked her up sideways and stumbled towards the exit.
Behind me, someone was shouting my name.
But I can't take care of it anymore, and all my thoughts are on Xiaoli in my arms......
When I rushed out of the workshop with Xiaoli in my arms, there was already a mess outside.
Ambulance sirens sound from far and near, and firefighters are evacuating crowds.
I looked down at Xiaoli in my arms, her face was pale and her lips trembled slightly.
My heart was like a knife, and I cried out for help: "Help! Somebody's hurt here!"
A paramedic came running quickly, and I hurriedly handed Xiaoli into their hands.
Watching her be lifted into the ambulance, tears finally welled up in my eyes.
In the corridors of the hospital, I waited anxiously.
After several hours of rescue, Xiaoli was finally out of danger.
The doctor told us that it was fortunate that we were sent to the hospital in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Knowing that Xiaoli was okay, I breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed in my chair.
When I think back to the scene at the time of the incident, my palms are still sweating.
Afterwards, my actions became a good story in the factory.
Everyone said I was a brave lad who stepped up at a critical time and didn't care about my own safety.
The leader also talked to me, praised my righteous and courageous behavior, and proposed to recommend me to be selected as an "excellent employee".
But there are also bad voices, some people say that I cut her pants to take advantage of others, not what a gentleman should do.
In the face of these people's slander, I don't care.
I knew in my heart that I wasn't doing this for any recognition, nor for getting anything.
I just followed the simplest kindness in my heart and did what a person should do.
Since then, I have often visited Xiaoli in the hospital.
At first, I just wanted to see how she was recovering, but gradually, I found myself more and more concerned about her.
Every time I see her smile at me, my heart is like a fawn.
I began to look forward to every meeting and began to find ways to make her happy.
Ordinary working days, because of her presence, become sparkling.
I know that my feelings for her are no longer just for colleagues......
During the days in the hospital, the relationship between me and Xiaoli gradually warmed up.
But then, an accident happened.
On this day, I went to visit Xiaoli in the hospital as usual, but I bumped into her parents who were also in the ward.
As soon as Xiaoli's mother saw me, her face changed.
She looked me up and down, frowned, and asked in an unkind tone, "You are the worker who saved Xiaoli?" How did you two get so close lately?"
I was asked so much that I didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Xiaoli hurriedly explained: "Mom, Xiaogang is my life-saving benefactor, and he has no bad intentions."
But Xiaoli's mother didn't appreciate it.
She snorted coldly and said, "Xiaoli, you are too simple. He was just a small factory worker with a low income and no future. He's so good to you, you can't tell what you're up to!"
Xiaoli turned pale with anger and retorted loudly: "Mom, how can you say that about Xiaogang?" He's a good and upright man, not what you think!"
Xiaoli's father was silent, but from his eyes, I could tell that he also had prejudices against me.
In the face of Xiaoli's parents' doubts, I felt extremely aggrieved.
My feelings for Xiaoli are sincere, and I have never thought of taking advantage of her.
But I also know that with my status, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the approval of her parents.
I silently left the ward, feeling bitter.
I began to wonder if there really was a future between me and Xiaoli. In the following days, I became extra cautious with Xiaoli.
We were all avoiding the awkward scene of that day, but we were all holding back our breath.
Once, I plucked up the courage to confide my worries to Xiaoli and asked her, "Xiaoli, your parents are so opposed to us being together, what should we do?"
Unexpectedly, Xiaoli had red eyes and asked me: "Xiaogang, do you want to give up our relationship because of my parents' opposition?" I thought you'd be braver......"
Her words hit me like a hammer on my heart.
yes, am I too cowardly? Can't my feelings for her stand the test? I fell into deep self-doubt. I don't know if our relationship can cross the chasm that lies between us......
As Xiaoli recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Xiaoli's parents were still opposed to our feelings, and rumors began to spread in the factory.
"Xiao Gang and Xiao Li won't really be together, right?"
"Xiaoli can't look down on Xiaogang, her family is so rich."
"Xiao Gang shouldn't be greedy for Xiaoli's beauty......"
All kinds of gossip came into our ears and made me feel stressed.
I began to wonder if I really deserved Xiaoli. Can I give her happiness?
Whenever I told Xiaoli about my troubles, she always smiled and comforted me: "Xiaogang, don't care what others say. I believe in your person, and our feelings will not be crushed by these rumors. "
Her words gave me endless strength.
Just when I made up my mind to propose to Xiaoli, her parents approached me.
They took a tough attitude and asked me to leave Xiaoli.
"Xiao Gang, I know you're a good young man. But the gap between you and Xiaoli is too big, you are together, sooner or later there will be problems. Xiaoli's father said earnestly.
"If you really love Xiaoli, you should let go and let her find someone with the right door, so that it will be good for both of you." Xiaoli's mother was also on the side to persuade her.
Their words sent chills down my heart.
I don't know if I still have the courage to persevere.
At this moment, Xiaoli appeared.
With red eyes, she took my hand and said to her parents: "Mom and Dad, I love Xiaogang, this is my sincerity, I don't care about his status, I only care about him as a person."
"If you really think about me, please respect my choice and support me and Xiaogang together, I don't want to go against my will and marry someone I don't love."
Xiaoli's words shocked everyone present.
Her parents looked at each other, as if they didn't expect their daughter to be so resolute.
At this moment, I made up my mind, I stepped forward, took Xiaoli's hand, and said solemnly to her parents:
"Uncle and aunt, I know that I am not worthy of Xiaoli, but I swear, I will spend my life loving her, caring for her, and giving her happiness, please believe in me, give me a chance, let me prove myself!"
In the face of Xiaoli's firmness and me, her parents finally relented.
With the consent of the elders, Xiaoli and I were extremely excited.
We decided to have a simple wedding in the factory.
Although the conditions are limited, we believe that as long as there is each other by our side, even the most simple wedding will be full of happiness.
Our colleagues in the factory were moved by our courage and perseverance, and sent sincere blessings.
The leader came to congratulate us and announced in public that he would give me a promotion and a salary increase, so that I could take care of Xiaoli.
My colleagues also pooled money to buy us a new house, so that we could have a warm little home.
Standing at the wedding scene, looking at the bride with a happy smile next to me, my heart was full of mixed feelings.
I took Xiaoli's hand and made a lifelong promise in the presence of relatives and friends: "Xiaoli, thank you for giving me the courage to love you."
In the days to come, whether you are poor or rich, whether you are sick or healthy, I will continue to take care of you until the end of your life. "
Xiaoli nodded tearfully and gave me a happy hug.
After getting married, we shared weal and woe, supported each other, and got through a lot of difficulties together.
Today, I have become the management of the factory, and Xiaoli has also changed from an assembly line worker to a workshop director.
Our life, although still ordinary, is full of warmth and happiness.
Whenever we walk hand in hand and walk along the factory paths, we always attract the envious eyes of our colleagues.
Everyone says that we are the most loving couple in the factory, and we are the model of true love.
And every time I hear these compliments, I feel a lot of emotion.
If it hadn't been for that accident, I might not have been able to marry such a good daughter-in-law.
Perhaps it was all a matter of fate that brought us together.
What I want to tell you is that no matter what happens, as long as you persevere, you will definitely gain something.
As long as you stick to your sincerity, you will eventually reap your own happiness.
