My name is Dajun, and I am an ordinary small businessman, and I have been married to my wife Meihua for 20 years. Meihua is a virtuous woman, but recently, because of the purchase of a house, our marriage has fallen into a crisis.
That day, Meihua's younger brother Xiaogang came and said that he wanted to buy a house, and the down payment was still 100,000 yuan. Meihua looked at me and meant to ask me to help. However, my business has not been going well recently, and I really can't come up with so much money.
I said, "Meihua, you know, I've been short on money lately, and I really can't help." ”
Meihua was anxious: "Dajun, Xiaogang is my only brother, we can't watch him have no house to live in, right?" ”
I sighed: "Meihua, it's not that I don't help, it's that I'm really powerless." ”
And so, we got into an argument over the purchase of a house. Meihua's eyes widened and slapped the table: "Dajun, if you don't help Xiaogang buy a house, we will divorce!" ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect Meihua to say such a thing. I was silent for a while and said, "Meihua, do you really want to divorce me because of this?" ”
Meihua looked at me with tears in her eyes: "Dajun, my brother is my life, I can't watch him suffer." If you don't help him, then we don't have to go on. ”
My heart was wrenched, but I knew I couldn't promise her. I shook my head: "Meihua, I can't leave our twenty-year relationship behind because of this." ”
Meihua gave me a disappointed look and turned back to her room. That night, neither of us spoke.
For the next few days, the United States and China had a cold war, and I tried to communicate with her, but to no avail. I know in my heart that this turmoil about buying a house has put our marriage in jeopardy.
That's when I met an old friend who told me that there was an investment opportunity with little risk and a decent profit. I am moved, if this investment is successful, it will not only help Xiaogang buy a house, but also make our lives better.
I decided to take a chance. However, when I told Meihua about this idea, she said coldly: "Dajun, you are gambling, if you fail, what will we do?" ”
I shook her hand: "Meihua, believe me, this time I will definitely succeed." ”
Meihua looked at me, her eyes full of helplessness and worry.
The investment process was extremely difficult, and I was busy until late almost every day. And Meihua is also silently supporting me and giving me encouragement.
Eventually, the investment paid off and I made a good profit. When I handed over the money to Xiao Gang to buy a house, he burst into tears with emotion.
Meihua also smiled, and she hugged me tightly: "Dajun, thank you, thank you." ”
I said softly, "Meihua, this is what I should do." In the future, we will live better. ”
This turmoil of buying a house has made us understand the preciousness of each other. Although we have experienced twists and turns, our feelings are deeper. And those disputes and conflicts have become indispensable memories in our marriage.
In the days that followed, our lives gradually returned to peace. The relationship between Meihua and me has also returned to the warmth and sweetness it used to be. Xiaogang bought a new house, moved out, and occasionally came back to visit my sister and me.
One night, I was watching TV in the living room, Meihua came over, sat next to me, and whispered: "Dajun, you have worked hard during this time, and you have paid so much for our family." ”
I shook her hand, smiled and said, "Meihua, this is what I should do, we are a family, regardless of each other." ”
She rested her head on my shoulder, and we quietly enjoyed the warmth. Suddenly, Meihua raised her head and looked at me seriously: "Dajun, I have thought about it, we should also make some plans for our lives." ”
I looked at her suspiciously: "Meihua, what do you mean?" ”
Meihua took a deep breath: "Dajun, we are not young anymore, we should make some preparations for our later life." I think we should buy a house of our own. ”
I looked at Meihua in surprise, I didn't expect her to come up with this idea. I always thought that she put all her care on her family and neglected us.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Meihua, this idea is good, but after our savings are used to help Xiaogang buy a house, there is not much left, and the pressure to buy a house will be very high." ”
Meihua smiled: "Dajun, I know you have the ability, we can work together and take our time." As long as we're together, there's nothing we can't get by. ”
I was infected by Meihua's firmness, smiled and nodded: "Okay, then do as you say, let's work together to buy a house of our own." ”
From that day on, we started to get busy about buying a house. Looking at real estate, choosing a house type, and running a bank, although it is hard, our hearts are full of expectations.
One day, on the way home, Meihua suddenly grabbed me, pointed to a real estate under construction and said, "Dajun, look, there is a house there, the house type and location are good, let's take a look." ”
I looked at Meihua's expectant eyes and nodded. So, we walked into the sales office.
After looking at the house, Meihua said excitedly: "Dajun, I know that this house is suitable for us, what do you say?" ”
I smiled and replied, "As long as you like it, I like it." ”
With that, we paid the deposit and started to prepare for the down payment. Although the pressure is high, we all firmly believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to achieve our dreams.
In the process of preparing for the down payment, we were more frugal and even gave up many of our former hobbies. However, we don't feel bitter because we have a common expectation in our hearts.
Finally, the down payment was enough and we got the keys to our new house. On that day, we hugged each other tightly and were full of emotion.
Meihua said with tears in her eyes: "Dajun, thank you for accompanying me through this period of time." ”
I gently wiped away her tears: "Meihua, this is our joint effort, and our future will definitely be better." ”
Yes, our future will be brighter. Because, we have learned to cherish each other and be willing to pay for each other. And this deep affection will accompany us through a long life.
Our lives are gradually filled with busyness and anticipation. The renovation of the new house became the center of our daily conversation, and we discussed the choice of colours, layouts and furniture, and each discussion gave us a vision for the future.
That weekend, we were shopping for furniture for our new home, and Meihua suddenly received a call from Xiao Gang, and his voice sounded a little anxious: "Sister, something happened to me here, can you come over for a while?" ”
Meihua's face immediately became nervous: "Xiaogang, what's wrong with you?" Don't rush, speak slowly. ”
I looked at Meihua, her brows were tightly knit, and I knew that Xiao Gang's matter must be very serious.
"Sister, I need a sum of money, I need it urgently." Xiao Gang's voice trembled a little.
Meihua hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll come over with Dajun right away." ”
After hanging up the phone, Meihua turned to me, her eyes were full of helplessness: "Dajun, Xiaogang may be in trouble, we need to help him." ”
I nodded, without the slightest hesitation: "Let's go, let's go see Xiao Gang first." ”
When we got to Xiaogang, we learned that he owed a debt because of the failure of the investment. He looked at us anxiously, as if he had grasped the last straw.
I looked at Meihua, her eyes full of worry. I know that this amount of money is not a small amount for us, but we can't just watch Xiao Gang get into trouble.
I said to Meihua: "Meihua, the money we have on hand is used to renovate the new house, but if Xiaogang really needs it, we can help him first." ”
Meihua held my hand tightly and nodded: "Dajun, I know you will decide so. Let's face it together. ”
We decided to help Xiao Gang pay off his debts. This meant that we had to postpone our plans to renovate our new home. Although we are a little disappointed, we feel that it is all worth it to help our family through this difficult time.
That night, the three of us sat in the living room, discussing our plans for the future. Xiao Gang's eyes were full of gratitude: "Sister, brother-in-law, you are so good to me." ”
I smiled: "Xiaogang, it's all a family, don't talk about this." ”
Meihua patted Xiao Gang on the shoulder: "Xiao Gang, this incident is also a lesson, you must be more careful in the future." ”
In the days that followed, we worked harder and hoped to save enough money for the renovation as soon as possible. Although life has become tense again, the warmth in our hearts has never diminished.
One night, I worked late and came home to see Meihua sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at the design of our new house, with tears in her eyes.
I walked over, sat down beside her, and hugged her gently: "Meihua, we will make it happen, everything will be fine." ”
Meihua raised her head and smiled at me: "Dajun, I know. As long as we are together, no matter how difficult it is, we can overcome it. ”
I looked at Meihua and my heart was full of love. I know that our lives are full of challenges, but our hearts are always connected. In this loving home, we face the wind and rain together and welcome every morning together.
The days went by like this, and our lives became extremely busy for Xiaogang's debts and the renovation of the new house. However, no matter how tired we are, we sit down together in the evenings to share each other's thoughts and encourage each other.
One day, I was working overtime in the company, and suddenly I received a call from Meihua, and her voice sounded a little urgent: "Dajun, where are you?" I have something to tell you. ”
My heart tightened, and I immediately replied: "I am working overtime in the company, what is the matter with you?" ”
Meihua was silent for a while, and then said, "Dajun, I just went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that I was pregnant. ”
I was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment. Meihua and I have always wanted to have a child, but for various reasons, it has not been realized. Now, the news has me both pleasantly surprised and nervous.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm my emotions: "Meihua, this is good news, but you have to pay attention to your body now and don't get too tired. ”
Meihua's voice carried a hint of worry: "Dajun, I know, but I'm afraid of our current economic situation, I'm afraid that I won't be able to give my children a good living environment." ”
I comforted her: "Meihua, don't worry, we will work together to give our children a happy home." This child is our hope, and we will work harder for him and for our future. ”
Meihua's voice sounded a little relaxed: "Dajun, I know you will say this, I know you will work hard for our family. I'm just a little worried, I'm afraid I'm not good enough. ”
I smiled: "Meihua, you are the strongest and bravest woman I have ever met, and I believe that you will be able to be a good mother." ”
From that day on, our lives were filled with more expectations. Meihua pays more attention to her body with her children, while I work harder to give my children a better living environment.
After a few months, Meihua's belly gradually grew bigger, and our lives became more busy. We began to prepare all kinds of things for the upcoming children, and although it was hard, our hearts were full of joy.
One night, I watched Meihua sitting on the sofa, her hands gently resting on her stomach, her eyes full of maternal love. I walked over and hugged her gently: "Meihua, you look so beautiful." ”
Meihua looked at me with a smile: "Dajun, it's all because of our children, he makes me feel happy." ”
I whispered softly in Meihua's ear: "Meihua, our children will be very happy, because we are a family, and we can overcome everything together." ”
Yes, we are a family, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and overcome them together. Because we believe that as long as we are together, there is nothing that we can't get by. In this loving home, we meet every challenge together and welcome every new day together.
