The story of the parents' love: the love between a strong woman and a docile man
preface
Every family has its own story, and these stories often bear the imprint of the times and reflect the changes in society. Parents in the family play an important role, and their relationship patterns and upbringing experiences often have a profound impact on their children.
Recently, I had the pleasure of hearing a heartwarming family story about my parents. By telling about their love experience, I deeply felt that the happiness of the original family did not come by chance, but required the joint efforts of both husband and wife, mutual tolerance and support to achieve.
First, behind the strength
1.1 Mother's upbringing
My mother was a very strong woman. Growing up in the countryside, she seems to be different from other girls, especially the kind of brave and daring to say and do, which makes her stand out at home.
In those days, the fate of girls was often arranged, but my mother was always able to break the rules, she had her own plan for her future, and she was not willing to be bound by anything.
It is precisely because of such a character that she experienced an unexpected divorce at the age of 22. At that time, the divorce was simply a lifetime of shame for women, and they would be criticized and ridiculed by those around them.
1.2 Become stronger
Divorce is a very heavy blow for anyone, and even more so for a mother with a strong personality. She did not choose to escape and complain, but proved herself with practical actions and made every day of her life enjoyable.
She worked hard to support herself on her own, while also taking care of her elderly parents so that they could live a happy and healthy old age. In the process, she became stronger and stronger, and she also learned how to love and tolerate others.
Second, behind the gentleness
2.1 Father's character
My father, on the other hand, was a typical docile man. Growing up in the palm of his hand by his family, he has a peaceful mind about everything, and is not good at conflict with people, let alone expressing his emotions.
In those days, docile men were often considered "soft rice men", and they would be subject to a lot of criticism and discrimination, and my father was just such a person.
2.2 An Unexpected Encounter
It wasn't until one summer in 1983 that the father met the mother, and it was also in that year that an unexpected story happened between them.
At that time, my father happened to be besieged by a group of hooligans, and my mother, who was passing by, did not run away, but did not hesitate to come to the rescue and successfully saved my father.
Third, we are in harmony with each other
3.1 The sprout of love
Perhaps it was because of this encounter that his father had an inexplicable affection for his mother, and since then, he has frequently appeared in his mother's village, and will find some excuses to help his mother's family do something.
And the mother did not give much response to the appearance of her father, until one day, when the father plucked up the courage to propose to the mother, she showed a long-lost smile and agreed to her father.
3.2 Life after marriage
Their marriage was not all smooth sailing, especially in the era of material scarcity, they had experienced a lot of hardships and tests, but no matter what difficulties they encountered, they were able to work together and support each other.
With the support and encouragement of his mother, his father gradually grew from a weak little man to a man who can take charge of the family on his own, and the complementarity and tacit understanding between them have also become the key to family happiness.
epilogue
Through the stories of my parents, I deeply realized that the happiness of the original family is not achieved by unilateral efforts, but requires the joint efforts of both husband and wife, mutual tolerance and understanding, and such happiness is true happiness.
I also hope that in modern society, both men and women can open their hearts, be brave and be themselves, and not be bound by any traditional concepts, because everyone has their own unique shining point, and should bring more surprises and possibilities to the world.
I also wish all families, no matter what kind of model, can be happy, and such happiness will continue forever.
