AA system agreement after retirement
My name is Zhao Wenyuan, I am 65 years old, and I have just retired from a large company. My wife Li Xiufen and I have been married for more than 30 years, and we have experienced ups and downs together, and our relationship has always been very good. After retirement, I thought we could enjoy a leisurely old age together, but an unexpected proposal shattered the peace.
Xiufen and I are both ordinary children, and we have gained a firm foothold in the city through hard work and hard work. We bought a house together, raised our daughter together, and walked through every stage of life together. After I retired, I had planned to travel with Xiufen to see the outside world and make up for the good times I missed when I was young because of my busy work.
However, just as I was planning for the future with great anticipation, Wenyuan made a suggestion that I didn't expect - to implement the AA system. He said that now that we all have pensions, we should each manage our own finances so that we can maintain independence and avoid conflicts due to financial problems.
Hearing this proposal, I was stunned. We have been married for so many years, and we have always managed the family finances together, and there has never been any conflict. Now he suddenly proposed the AA system, which made me feel very puzzled and confused. I asked him why he had such an idea, but he couldn't come up with a reason.
I tried to communicate with Wen Yuan, hoping that he would understand my thoughts. I told him that we are a family and should face every stage of life together. Life after retirement is not only about money and material things, but more importantly, about the companionship and love between each other. However, Wenyuan insisted on his own ideas, believing that the AA system was a fairer and more reasonable way of life.
Seeing Wen Yuan so stubborn, I had no choice but to compromise. I don't want to ruin our relationship for years because of this, and I don't want my daughter to worry about us. So, we started the AA life.
When I first started, I felt very uncomfortable. We no longer buy groceries together as we used to, and we no longer plan our household expenses together. We each manage our own pension and are responsible for our own expenses. This lifestyle made me feel very lonely and helpless, and I began to miss the days when I used to live together.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year, I invited a few old friends to my house for a party. I would like to take this opportunity to make Wen Yuan feel the warmth and happiness of his family, and I hope that he can reconsider his decision to AA system. However, things turned out in a way that I didn't expect.
On the day of the Spring Festival, the house is very lively. Xiufen and I were busy preparing meals, while old friends sat around and chatted. However, at the dinner table, Wen Yuan looked a little cramped and uneasy. From time to time, he observed our expressions and mannerisms, as if looking for something.
Finally, at the end of the meal, Wen Yuan stood up, cleared his throat and said, "I want to say something to you today. For all this time, I've been thinking about how we live in retirement. I found that the AA system did not change our lives for the better, but rather made us more distant from each other. I realized that I was wrong and that I shouldn't have ruined our family harmony because of a moment of stubbornness. ”
Hearing this, I was stunned. I didn't expect Wen Yuan to make such a decision at this time. I looked up at him, and his eyes were full of guilt and remorse. I know he really wants to save our relationship.
I stood up, walked to Wen Yuan's side, held his hand tightly and said, "Wen Yuan, I know that you are not feeling well during this time. In fact, I was also at fault, I didn't communicate with you in time and didn't understand your thoughts. However, now that we all understand each other's intentions, let's put aside the misunderstandings and contradictions of the past together and start over. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a round of applause in the house. Old friends have expressed their support for our decision, and they are happy that we have been able to rediscover our mutual affection.
After the Spring Festival family dinner, Xiufen and I sat on the sofa and recalled the past. We talked about the sweet times when we first got married, but also about the ups and downs of the years. We are full of emotion and cherish our feelings for each other even more.
Since then, we have done away with the AA system and are back to a life of co-managing the family's finances. We plan our future life together and enjoy our leisure time after retirement. Our relationship has become deeper, and our family has become more harmonious and happy.
This story teaches us that families are a whole and need understanding and support for each other. In the face of contradictions and differences, we should communicate openly, tolerate each other, and solve problems together. Only in this way can we have a happy and contented family.
