# After taking a shower, the story of that old pajamas
## Description
As a 30-year-old average office worker, my life is like most people's, busy and monotonous. Today, I would like to share a small episode that happened between my wife and me, a story about money, warmth, and intimacy, and I hope to give you some inspiration.
## Body
My name is Li Ming, I am 30 years old, and I live in an ordinary apartment in a small city. I'm a programmer, and I bury my head in the pile of code every day, and although the job is not easy, at least it gives me a stable income. My wife Xiaolan and I live together and have been married for almost five years. To be honest, although life is uneventful, the relationship between us has always been deep.
Tonight, I took a hot shower after a busy day's work, and I felt a lot more relaxed. Walking out of the bathroom, I wiped my hair and just wanted to lie down on the sofa to rest, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Xiaolan's old pajamas. She was sitting on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, looking at me with a gentle expression, as if attracted by the sound of me taking a shower.
She bought this pajama when we first fell in love, and she was always so young and beautiful back then. But now, the pajamas have faded a little, and the edges are a little worn, which makes it a little unsightly. I couldn't help but feel nervous, and I felt the need to talk to Xiaolan about this matter.
"Hey, Lan." I beckoned to her and smiled slightly, "Have you ever thought about buying a new pajama lately?" ”
She raised her head, a little stunned, and then smiled again: "Why buy a new one?" I'm pretty comfortable wearing this. ”
I shook my head helplessly. "Have you forgotten what year you bought it? It's really been worn for too long, and I think I can get a new one, buy a nice one, and look younger. ”
Xiaolan frowned slightly, then put down the book she was reading in her hand, and her eyes became serious: "I know that this pajama is a little old, but it has a lot of memories, and I am reluctant to throw it away." Besides, just got a new pair of pajamas, and it's really unnecessary to spend money. ”
When I heard this, my heart sank. Actually, I know she doesn't like to spend money, and it always has been. In our lives, spending money often becomes the trigger for petty disputes. Although I don't want her to think that I am pushing her, I really don't want her to continue to wear such old clothes, and I always feel unfair to her.
"But, my dear, clothes are for wearing, and we are meant to live, aren't we?" I tried to persuade her in a gentle tone, "I also earn a good job, and we can enjoy life properly without always trying to save money." ”
Xiao Lan paused, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. She seemed to be thinking about my words, but quickly shook her head stubbornly: "But if you think about buying a new one every time, won't the money be gone?" We also plan to buy a house in the future, and the education of our children ......"
Her words made me ponder. I know what she said is true, and there are many things to consider in our future lives. However, I'd rather see her in her new clothes with a confident smile than wearing that old pajamas forever.
I thought about it and decided to convince her in a different way. "Xiaolan, it's not that you have to spend money all the time, think about it, if you had a new pajama, would you feel young and beautiful? It affects your mood, right? ”
I looked at her, expecting her to be moved. Xiaolan was silent for a while, and sighed slightly: "These are all true, but ...... Every time I buy something, I always think of the numbers in my wallet. ”
There was helplessness in her voice, and I knew that it was not that she didn't want to buy it, but that she had too many concerns in her heart. The pressures of life make her always cautious, even when it comes to small things.
"I see what you mean." I try to break down that barrier, "but life shouldn't be all about stress, and it's also necessary to give yourself a little relaxation once in a while." I will work hard, and we can solve the problem of money together. ”
Xiaolan raised her head and looked at me, her eyes gradually softening. She seemed to be thinking about what I was saying, and there was a hint of warmth in her eyes. Then, she bit her lip lightly and finally spoke: "Okay, maybe I can go and see if there are any new pajamas that fit." ”
Hearing this, I felt a sense of relief and even some excitement. I know that she didn't say no completely, but needed a little time to adjust her thinking.
In the evening, we went online together to browse some pajama styles. We kept discussing, all kinds of styles and colors, and laughter filled the room. Looking at the smile on Xiaolan's face, my heart also became relaxed.
Of course, I know that life is not easy and can never be changed by one or two pajamas. But I believe that as long as we can communicate openly with each other and listen to each other's voices, our lives will be better.
In the end, Xiaolan picked out a light blue pajamas, although the price was not expensive, but it was refreshing. She looked at me with anticipation on her face: "Do you think this one looks good?" ”
I nodded and smiled approvingly: "Very good-looking, and it will definitely make you look younger!" ”
At that moment, we looked at each other and smiled. Small quarrels and compromises in life always make us understand each other better. Even simple clothes can become a warm spice in our lives, so that every day is full of sunshine.
Finally, I put my hand on Xiaolan's shoulder and whispered: "Honey, occasionally spend some money to buy yourself something you like, and your mood will improve, this is the meaning of life." ”
She smiled and snuggled gently on my shoulder, as if she could empathize. At this moment, I feel extremely happy.
Life is like this, accumulating warmth in bits and pieces. I hope everyone can find their own little luck and add a beautiful life to life.
