I'm Aunt Li and I'm 69 years old this year. I was looking for someone who could accompany me through my old age until I met my neighbor, Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang is my old neighbor, he is a few years older than me, not tall but very strong.
His wife passed away a few years ago, and I know he had a hard time alone. One day, I went to Uncle Zhang's house to deliver him food as usual, and he was in a daze at the door. "Uncle, I brought you porridge and side dishes, go eat them.
I handed him the lunch box. "Hey, Lao Li, I'm sorry for you. It's so boring to eat alone, and it's nice to have a good neighbor like you. Uncle Zhang said gratefully.
We are all alone, and being able to take care of each other is also fate. Let's go eat. I nodded. "I'll sit with you for a while, and let's talk. The weather is so good, just the two old men, it's also good. ”
Uncle Zhang pulled me to sit down at the door and began to recall the old story. I listened to Uncle Zhang slowly talk about interesting stories when he was a child, such as the past of herding cattle to fish in the river, and I couldn't help but smile.
When he talked about the advantages of his wife, his eyes also showed reluctance and longing. "My wife has been gone for so many years, and you have worked hard alone. "I looked at Uncle Zhang and said.
I'm Xi to being alone, and I'm okay. It's just that there is no one to talk to, and I always feel that something is missing. Uncle Zhang sighed. "Well, I'm the same. Eating alone, sleeping alone, there is no sound except the TV.
I understand Uncle Zhang's feelings. "Why don't we have a meal together today?".Anyway, it's all alone, and it's so lively. Uncle Zhang proposed. "Okay, I'll make you some home-cooked food, let's eat together tonight. I said happily.
That night, Uncle Zhang came to my house and smiled from ear to ear when he saw a few dishes on the table. "Lao Li, your craftsmanship is still as good as before. Come on, let's celebrate today!
Uncle Zhang raised his glass and said. "I have also prepared my wife's favorite braised pork for you, and I will try it like to see how it tastes. "I put the dishes and chopsticks aside. "Come on, come on, let's have a drink when we think of my wife!
My wife's spirit in heaven will also bless us. I hurriedly persuaded Uncle Zhang to drink to divert his attention. Uncle Zhang drank a few glasses of wine before he had a smile on his face. After we finished our meal, we sat down and talked about the old days.
Back then, we lived in the same yard and our relationship was as close as a family. We all lost our significant other, but God reunited us. I was very happy with this meal, and I felt the warmth of home for the first time in a long time.
Since that day, Uncle Zhang and I have become each other's dependence. We often eat and chat together, or go out for a walk, and the relationship is getting better and better. Gone are the days of loneliness.
One day, Uncle Zhang came to knock on my door excitedly: "Lao Li, come out to see the stars!.""When I opened the door, I saw that the stars were shining brightly in the sky.
What a beautiful star, let's go out for a walk. "Uncle Zhang pulled me and was about to go out. "It's so late, go to **?"I'm a little confused. "Just walk around the neighborhood. The stars are so bright that it's rare to admire. ”
Uncle Zhang's eyes were full of excitement. I was infected by his enthusiasm and followed him out the door. We walked slowly around the neighborhood, surrounded by bright stars, and a few people who returned late hurriedly passed by.
Uncle Zhang and I walked side by side, and he suddenly said, "Lao Li, let's get married." I looked at him in surprise, and Uncle Zhang was looking at me with a smile.
On the night of the full moon, we decided to spend the rest of our lives together. That morning, Uncle Zhang gave me a bouquet of roses, and said with red eyes, "This is our big day, I'm so excited!."
I took the flower and was very moved. After a simple ceremony, we officially became husband and wife. In the evening, we invited all our friends and had a lively wedding feast.
The blessings of friends made this moment even more memorable. In the evening, Uncle Zhang and I sat on a bench at the door and lit a candle. "Wife, don't bother me in the days to come.
I said with a smile. "On the days when you are here, how can you feel troublesome. "Uncle Zhang held my hand. We quietly looked at the night sky, and our hearts were full of happiness and emotion.
At this moment, I felt that my life was complete. In the days after we got married, Uncle Zhang and I lived happily. Every day when I get up early to cook, Uncle Zhang accompanies me and chats with me.
After dinner, we went for a walk or read a book or watched TV together. Sometimes children are invited to a meal and invited to the house. In short, life is abundant, fulfilling, and warm. "
Uncle Zhang suddenly proposed to climb the mountain, and I readily agreed. We stocked up on water and snacks and drove to the park. When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, Uncle Zhang held my hand and told me to be careful.
The trail is gentle and we crawl slowly, admiring the beautiful scenery around us. He admired the lush woods and showy wildflowers in the distance, and I was mesmerized by the beautiful skyline of the city.
We supported each other and finally reached the top of the mountain. Uncle Zhang said to me with a smile that our spirit is not inferior to that of young people at all. I nodded in agreement, feeling that even as I get old, I can be full of energy.
Back home, Uncle Zhang and I both felt a little tired. But the heart is full of satisfaction and joy. "Honey, what a great day today!In the future, we will go to the mountains more and see more of the outside world.
Uncle Zhang said with anticipation. "Of course, with you by my side, I feel happy and satisfied every day. "I replied with a smile. We had a wonderful day together.
With Uncle Zhang, my life is full of color and my life is very meaningful. However, the good times did not last long, and one day, we quarreled over a trivial matter.
When I was washing clothes that day, I accidentally mixed Uncle Zhang's white shirt with colored clothes and washed them, and the white shirt was dyed. When Uncle Zhang saw it, his face immediately became not very good-looking:"How many times have I told you that washing clothes should be washed in different colors!
You wash my white shirt like this, how can I wear it?"I anxiously explained:"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was I who didn't pay attention and mixed the white and the color and washed it.
I was wrong, don't be angry. "Uncle Zhang's tone is very unkind:"Asking me to spend money on a new shirt, the same was the case last time you broke my teacup. Did I raise you to let you spoil my things every day?
Uncle Zhang didn't say a word, and the atmosphere became very solemn. I sat on the sidelines, overwhelmed. After a while, Uncle Zhang got up and entered the room, slamming the door shut.
I sat aggrieved on the couch and wiped my tears. Neither of us paid attention to the other, and we had a cold war all day. I also sleep back to back at night, with a long distance in between. After breakfast, Uncle Zhang packed up his things and said he was going out.
Where are you going?I asked cautiously. "Just getting out and about. Uncle Zhang replied expressionlessly. Looking at his departing back, I realized that the impasse between us needed to be broken.
So, I plucked up the courage to apologize to him at dinner: "Uncle, I was wrong yesterday and shouldn't have stained your shirt." Your reproach is for my good, and I shouldn't be angry.
Can we reconcile?Uncle Zhang finished eating silently and did not respond. After dinner, I carefully proposed, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, shall we go out for a walk?".”
I'm not going. Uncle Zhang replied indifferently. My heart sank again. The nightly walk after the marriage was the time I enjoyed the most, but now Uncle Zhang is still angry, and I feel sad.
Then you can rest early, and I'll go for a walk. I whispered, put on my coat and went out. The night in the park was quiet, and I walked aimlessly, reminiscing about the sweetness of our first marriage, and I felt very sad compared to the cold state of the present.
Just then, I saw a familiar figure sitting on a bench in the distance. I walked over and saw that it was Uncle Zhang. "Why are you here?".I sat down next to him in amazement.
Just come out and breathe. Uncle Zhang replied indifferently.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have you off. "I apologize again to Uncle Zhang. He looked at me gently and said, "I'm also at fault, I shouldn't be angry about a trivial matter, and I said something that hurts your heart."
It's all my fault. I shook his hand excitedly and said, "Uncle, I know, I will be more careful in the future and will not let you worry about it again." If you can forgive me, I'll be at ease.
Fool, it's my bad. You've put a lot of effort into it. Come, I'll wipe your tears for you. Uncle Zhang said softly. I found myself in tears. Uncle Zhang gently wiped away my tears, and I felt that the big stone in my heart finally landed.
The weather is so nice, let's go for a walk. Uncle Zhang stood up, his eyes full of smiles. I excitedly took his arm and walked slowly side by side with him. "Wife, you've been wronged. From now on, I will learn to understand you and stop losing my temper. ”
Uncle Zhang said seriously. "I'll also be extra careful not to make you angry again. We have to live our lives as we did at the beginning. I replied with a smile. "Yes, we have a long future ahead of us. This little wave is nothing!Uncle Zhang said. I nodded, glad we had cleared the misunderstanding.
Under the moonlight, Uncle Zhang's eyes were full of tenderness again, and I knew that our relationship would be deeper than before. Whatever the disagreement, we will communicate well instead of losing our temper.
In this way, our relationship became deeper and deeper, and we lived very happily. When the neighbors saw us, they all said that we were a model couple. "If you want me to say, you are the real old husband and wife!The neighbor's aunt said with a smile.
Look, it's even more loving than us young people!The young couple next to them couldn't help but sigh. Uncle Zhang and I both laughed from ear to ear: "Thank you for your compliment, we just learned to understand and tolerate each other."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye we are already old. Although there have been ups and downs in married life, Uncle Zhang and I have never stopped understanding and tolerating each other.
Now that our children have achieved success in their careers and we are enjoying our old age, I feel that my life is truly fulfilling. I often say to Uncle Zhang: "Wife, thank you for taking me in as a lonely person back then, and allowing me to spend the best time of my life."
Uncle Zhang will also smile and say, "The rest of my life is full of sunshine because of you." After going through ups and downs, I deeply understand your preciousness. "I believe that in the days that remain, Uncle Zhang and I will continue to spend time together until the end of our lives.
Spending the white head with Uncle Zhang is the most fortunate thing in my life. One day, we received a call from our son, saying that he wanted to invite us to stay with him for a while.
Mom, you and Dad are getting old and it's inconvenient to live in an old house, so why don't you move to me. Children can also accompany you. "My son's attitude is very sincere.
After discussing with Uncle Zhang, I decided to agree to my son's request. "We were able to see the children and take care of them, and the house was in good condition, so it was good for us to stay for a while.
Uncle Zhang said. So, we set off for our son's house. His house was spacious and bright and our room was also very well prepared. "Mom, you live here, if you need anything, just say it, don't carry it yourself.
We were warmly welcomed by my daughter-in-law. "Grandma, we're coming to see you!The granddaughter said happily.
My grandson proudly told us, "I did well in class, and the teacher praised me!.""We smiled from ear to ear and were so proud of the performance of our grandchildren.
Grandma, I drew a picture for you, look!The granddaughter pulled out her elaborate drawing. "Great!Grandma loved it very much!"I gave my granddaughter a big hug.
We had a great time eating and chatting with our grandchildren on the weekend. As a result, our lives have become more colorful. In the morning, we would go to the park for morning exercises, and in the evening, after my son's family had dinner, we would sit on the balcony and chat, or play cards and chess.
Mom and Dad, I'm going to take you out for a walk. One day, the son said. "That's great, we haven't traveled in years!Uncle Zhang said. So we drove to a scenic town with fresh air and green mountains and rivers all around.
It's beautiful!We haven't seen such a beautiful scenery in a long time!I said happily. "Let's go to the lake over there. Uncle Zhang took my hand, and we took a leisurely walk.
Wife, how interesting it is to look at the wild ducks over there!I pointed to the lake not far away. "Look at that lush forest, it's beautiful. Uncle Zhang also constantly admired the beauty of nature.
Even though our temples are gray, our love for nature is still as hot as it was in our youth. I deeply appreciate the preciousness and expectation of life. Living with my son, Uncle Zhang and I felt the warmth of home.
We are so grateful for all that our children have created for us. "Son, thank you for allowing us to share the happiness of old age as a couple. Once, Uncle Zhang said sincerely.
Dad, I'm glad you and Mom are here. Feel free to let me know if you guys need anything. The son responded sincerely. I looked at his smiling face, and my heart was full of emotion.
The most precious thing in the world is the company of loved ones. My relationship with Uncle Zhang has endured, and the love of our children has made our later life more colorful. Later, we moved back to our old house.
Although it is not as convenient as my son's house, it carries our most precious memories. "Wife, let's go back to the old house and live. It is the sustenance of our hearts.
Uncle Zhang said. I nodded in agreement. After returning to the old house, my son often came to visit us. Sometimes they bring their grandchildren with them. "Grandma, I've come to see you!
I picked a flower for you. Little Sunflower said sweetly. "Grandpa, I just learned a new magic trick for you to see!"The big sunflower mysteriously conjured magic tricks for Uncle Zhang. We had fun with our grandchildren.
I have come to realize that happiness in life is very simple. Surrounded by children and grandchildren, you can feel satisfied and happy even if you have limited mobility.
Uncle Zhang and I decided that no matter how long the last journey of life is, we will watch and rely on each other together. We will hold hands and enjoy the sunrise and sunset together, spending every day and night until we say goodbye.
I am grateful to God for allowing us to meet and spend every beautiful moment of our lives with Him. Although we are 80 years old and our health is not as good as before, our feelings are getting deeper and deeper.
I remember one day we were sitting on the balcony chatting as usual. Suddenly, Uncle Zhang said: "Wife, since I retired, I am truly grateful to have you accompany me through the happiest time of my life."
I listened and was very moved. "Uncle, I also want to thank you for making me feel at home. It is the luckiest thing in my life to be able to walk hand in hand with you. ”
Hehe, I want you to take care of me back then, and I will take care of you, it's really like an old husband and wife. Now that we are all old, we must cherish the last moments. Uncle Zhang said with a smile.
Yes, I don't know how long we can work together, and I will spend it with you. I gently held Uncle Zhang's hand. We all understand that life will not last forever, but as long as we can be with the people we love, we have no regrets.
Recently, Uncle Zhang's health has deteriorated, and I am very worried in my eyes. One day, he suddenly fell asleep in a chair and couldn't wake up for half a day. I was in a hurry to call the doctor to see him.
After the doctor's examination, I was told that Uncle Zhang's physical function had deteriorated badly and he needed to be hospitalized**. When I heard this, my eyes immediately turned red, and I thought to myself that we have not been separated for a long time, and Uncle Zhang's illness and hospitalization hit me too hard.
Doctor, is he in serious condition?Do I really need to be hospitalized?I asked worriedly. "Auntie, my uncle is old, and he has to stay in the hospital for a few days for us to observe carefully.
Rest assured, we will take care of him. "The doctor patiently advised me. I wiped away my tears and nodded in agreement. After Uncle Zhang woke up, I told him that he was going to be hospitalized.
He comforted me and said, "Don't worry, wife, stay for a few days and come back." You have to take care of yourself. ”
Uncle Zhang was sick and hospitalized, and I went to the hospital every day to take care of him. He saw me with a smile on his face and said that the doctor said he was okay. I looked at him, still a little worried.
After more than a week, he was finally able to be discharged from the hospital. I was so excited that I was in tears that day, and I was finally able to take him home and continue to take care of him. When I got home, I cooked him a lot of dishes that he liked to eat, and we were back to living together.
However, his body was noticeably weaker, and I looked after him more carefully. He said, "Wife, I've worried you. I will rest more and my body will be fine soon. ”
I will also encourage him: "Uncle, you recuperate slowly, and I will take care of your daily life and diet." We'll get through this. "When a person chooses to be there when you are at your most vulnerable, this is love.
I am determined to stay with Uncle Zhang until he **. Because I know that he has always stood by my side in my most difficult times.
I shook my head lightly and politely declined my aunt's proposal: "You don't need to hire a nurse, I can take care of the uncle myself." They young people have their own business, and I don't want to trouble them.
The aunt sighed and said, "You are also too hard, the uncle is in such poor health, how can you take care of it alone?"I replied firmly, "I can't leave him alone to suffer from the disease."
As long as I'm okay, I'll always be with him. "When my aunt saw that I had made up her mind, she stopped trying to persuade me. After seeing her leave, I gently held Uncle Zhang's hand and left a kiss on his forehead.
Illness can deprive him of his abilities, but it can never deprive us of love. Every day, I would take Uncle Zhang for a slow walk in the yard, and then wipe his body and change into clean clothes.
Watching Uncle Zhang get thinner and thinner, my heart became heavier and heavier. "Wife, thank you for your hard work. I can't do anything right now but let you take care of it. Uncle Zhang always blamed himself.
Your life is my greatest consolation. As long as you're there, I'm not afraid of any difficulties. I replied softly. I understand that life doesn't last forever, so I cherish every moment with him even more.
Even though I watched him get weaker day by day, I never regretted it in the slightest. I took care of Uncle Zhang carefully, and he also worked hard with my help. We spent countless days and nights together.
In the blink of an eye, Uncle Zhang had difficulty even getting out of bed and walking, and I could only guard him inch by inch. One evening, we sat in the courtyard watching the sunset. "Wife, I'm really sorry for you, because you accompany me like this.
Uncle Zhang said suddenly. "I'm not happy when you say that. It is my wish that I accompany you. I replied, holding his wizened hand. I hurriedly wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "Don't be sad, you just recover slowly, I will always be with you." ”
At this moment, I suddenly understood that loving someone is not only a physical companion, but also a spiritual companionship. Our hearts are never separated until the last moment of life.
I insist on morning exercise every day to maintain my health, because I know that only when I am healthy can I take better care of Uncle Zhang. Although my children hired medical professionals to help, I still insisted on sticking to Uncle Zhang's side and spending every day with him.
Uncle Zhang's physical condition gradually stabilized, and I was also relieved. However, new problems began to appear in his body, and I watched him falter and sighed silently.
Although I am over the age of old, I still insist on exercising every day to maintain my strength, because I know that I need more strength to take care of Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang looked at me with gray hair, but still in good spirits, and was full of emotion.
I told him that my life is my greatest happiness, and that I have no regrets about the past years. We once agreed that I would never leave him, and I would always be with him until the end.
Uncle Zhang nodded and looked at me silently. I know he's silently reminiscing about us, too. "By the way, uncle, we haven't seen Lao ** together for a long time.
Let's take it out tonight and reminisce about the past. I proposed. "Okay, it's good to look at the ** when we were young and think about the past days.
Uncle Zhang finally smiled. That night, I turned out a lot of the ** of my youth. Uncle Zhang looked at the appearance of his black hair on it, and couldn't help but sigh the passage of time.
I think when you were young, I thought you were old. Now I'm like this myself. Uncle Zhang said with a smile. "Yes, they're all old in the blink of an eye.
We grow old together with a smile, and this life is not in vain. "I was also full of emotion. "It's not worth this life. Uncle Zhang repeated, his expression full of nostalgia and satisfaction.
Looking at the bits and pieces of my youth, Uncle Zhang and I have all kinds of pasts. Those years have become memories, but we still cherish them in our hearts. I feel that the true meaning of life lies in love and companionship.
Between me and Uncle Zhang, there is nothing to apologize or be grateful for. In the blink of an eye, Uncle Zhang's condition deteriorated again. One morning, I noticed that he was cold, his eyes were closed, and he was no longer breathing.
Uncle, uncle!I trembled and touched his hand, which was cold. It was at this moment that I realized that we had reached the end of our lives. "Wife, you can rest in peace.
You saved me back then, and I will do my best to accompany you in this life. You can go with peace of mind, half of you will always be with you. I burst into tears and whispered to Uncle Zhang. We have made the last journey of our lives the hardest and will never be separated again.
Sending off my beloved fills my heart with peace because I know that he has no regrets in this life. At Uncle Zhang's funeral, the children all came to me. "Mom, don't be too sad.
You have accompanied Dad to the last road, and it is already the best ending. The eldest son held my hand and comforted.
Rest assured, kids, I'll take care of myself. Your father is a good man, and I am satisfied. Watching Uncle Zhang settle down, I knew that his life had reached its peak.
And I will accept my own fate calmly. Yes, I should have reached that moment too. I have fulfilled my promise of love and accompanied my loved one on the last leg of my journey.
I don't have any regrets or worries. From now on, I don't have much time left, and I want to live every moment to the fullest. Talk to the children more, look at the old **, and reminisce about the past.
I will greet my last moments with a smile because I know that my dear will be waiting for me on the other side of heaven. When my face is wrinkled and my steps are faltering, I will still thank God for giving me this life.
In this life, I have loved and been loved. I look forward to embracing my beloved again in heaven and looking back on this life with no regrets.
