In the second year of my second marriage, I joined a senior choir and soon became the lead singer. I thought it would be a pleasant experience, but I didn't expect my wife to withdraw his salary card at this time and file for divorce.
When I got home, I hurriedly prepared a simple dinner, cooked a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup, and sautéed some shredded potatoes. Although the meal was in front of me, I hurried to eat a few bites and hurriedly prepared to leave.
As soon as he sat down and was about to change his shoes, Lao Feng sighed and said, "You have been making seaweed egg drop soup for three days in a row, can't you change your taste?"I replied angrily: "I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to take care of this." Lao Feng raised his voice: "Your busyness is all meaningless things, can't you take more care of your family?"We didn't discuss it before we got married, we gave you the salary card so that you could take care of me. ”
Lao Feng's words made me feel a little empty-hearted, and quickly explained: "I know, there have been some condolence performances recently. After this busy time, I will spend more time taking care of my family. ”
When I was about to go out, Lao Feng suddenly stopped me, complained about my stomach discomfort recently, and begged me to stay at home and cook a meal for him.
I hesitated for a moment at the door and replied firmly: "If you don't want to eat what I made, I can order you takeout." There is still a rehearsal tonight, so we can't delay it. The moment I closed the door, I heard Lao Feng sighing behind me, I hesitated, but I still decided to sing, feeling that I could find more comfort in rehearsals.
Lao Feng is 10 years older than me, and when we first met, he made it clear that he had only one hope for his second marriage, which was to find a partner who could take care of him. What he asked me to do was to be good at cooking and to be considerate and cared for him. So, after we got married, his retirement salary card was handed over to me.
I used to do odd jobs and didn't have a regular job for the rest of my life. After her daughter got married, she originally planned to live with her, but she was worried that she would become a burden.
When I heard about Lao Feng at that time, I felt a heartwarming feeling in my heart. After all, Lao Feng's monthly retirement salary is as high as 9,000 yuan, and he is willing to entrust my salary card to me.
Thinking about taking care of Lao Feng is not a difficult task. He was described as a leader before his retirement with a mild personality. Now that my children are gone, I am looking for a partner who can take care of each other.
At the beginning, I promised Lao Feng that I only need to do two things every day, that is, to prepare three meals for him and keep the house clean and hygienic. After the meal, we will go downstairs for a walk together. However, as time went on, I got bored at home. It just so happened that my downstairs neighbor invited me to join the choir she was in, saying that there were activities every day. I gladly agreed, and it brought me some new joie de vivre.
I had never tried to sing before, and I was a little embarrassed to open my mouth when I stood in the crowd at first, but I just silently followed the voices of others, and slowly dared to speak for myself.
Unexpectedly, my neighbors said that my voice was very crisp and pleasant, and encouraged me to practice more, and maybe I could become the leader of the choir. Her words made me suddenly interested, I loved singing when I was a child, and I didn't expect to realize this dream when I was old. So, every day I put my heart and soul into it, practicing with her, leaving early and returning late, meticulously.
However, Lao Feng began to be dissatisfied with this, thinking that my time at home was too short. I explained that I cooked on time every day and that I never slacked off in housework, so there was nothing wrong with taking up a hobby.
Although Lao Feng had some complaints, he was helpless in the face of my enthusiasm. Over time, I managed to become the lead singer of the choir because of my excellent voice. Every day I stand at the front of the line, proud and happy, no matter the wind or rain, I am fully engaged and never slack off.
The choir is about to have a condolence performance, and in order to fully prepare, everyone works overtime every day to practice. Naturally, I can't show weakness, however, time is always limited. Since choir practice takes up a lot of time, my time for housework and taking care of Lao Feng has also become relatively limited.
I didn't care about cooking carefully for Lao Feng, and every time I went home, I was in a hurry, either buying some semi-finished products or cooking a meal at random. Housework was put aside, and I thought to myself that it was only temporary, and it would get better after a while.
As a lead singer, I need to lead by example in the choir. Everyone respects me because I sing well, but at home I always feel like a nanny, and Lao Feng is whatever he says, which makes me like to stay in the choir more and more.
We participated in the county's condolence performance, but Lao Feng called ** at night and said that he had a stomach upset. He asked if I could go back, but I refused without hesitation because there was a show the next day and I couldn't delay it. Lao Feng called ** again at night and said that he had an upset stomach, and I suggested that he take the medicine prepared at home.
When I went home the next day, Lao Feng lay on the bed and said that his stomach hurt badly and asked me to take him to the hospital. After an examination in the hospital, he was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis, and the doctor said that he almost missed the condition. Lao Feng went home after three days of infusion, I was worried that it would affect my usual choir training, so I planned to go out to practice early, but I was stopped by Lao Feng. He said, "I'm sick, how can you still get out?".You're not at home, how can I cook. ”
I feel a little angry in my heart, as a husband and wife, can't I even have my own time?However, Lao Feng did have problems eating. I suddenly had an idea and said to Lao Feng, "I can hire a part-time worker, how about it?"”
Lao Feng stared at me with wide eyes and said, "We got married so that you can take care of me, what's the matter with you hiring a part-time worker?"”
I had to patiently persuade Lao Feng: "I understand that I need to take care of you, but at the same time I also have my own affairs, and now is the stage of time conflict, and when I am no longer busy, I will dismiss my part-time worker." Lao Feng bowed his head and was silent for a while.
I thought he accepted my explanation, and quickly called a friend younger than me in the community and asked her to come and cook two meals for Lao Feng every day. In this way, I have regained some time for myself.
The senior choir has an enthusiastic captain who often organizes everyone to participate in condolence performances in various places. It's not only a form of entertainment, but it also brings out the best in our lives, and everyone enjoys the opportunity to perform.
As I went out more often in the choir, I decided to hire my family's part-time worker as a full-time nanny, paying her 3,000 yuan a month to be responsible for cooking for Lao Feng. This way, I have more free time.
After hiring a nanny, my life has become more free, and in addition to choir activities, I can also go out with my friends, travel, and go shopping.
This kind of life is really beautiful, I used to work as a part-time job, and I rarely enjoyed it like this. Unexpectedly, after getting old, I found a wife, but I was able to enjoy life better and cultivate my interests.
I spend less and less time at home and spend almost every day with my old friends. With the care of a nanny, I am also more at ease. The more proud you are, the easier it is to get carried away.
I once forgot that my current happy life was based on marrying Lao Feng, and even felt that such a life was my own.
Until one time we all went on a group trip and left home for three days. When I was withdrawing money outside, I found that my bank card had become an invalid card, and I called ** to inquire only to learn that the bank card was reported lost.
I hurriedly called Lao Feng **, but he didn't answer. I called several times, and finally it was the nanny who picked up**. She told me that Lao Feng was in the hospital, and he had been coughing and panting because of **'s illness.
I was surprised and asked, "Why don't you give me a ** call?".I didn't even know that Lao Feng was sick.
The nanny explained: Brother Feng didn't want me to hit **, saying that he wanted me to help take him to the hospital to see a doctor, and he didn't want to disturb you, for fear of ruining your interest.
As the nanny spoke, I felt more and more embarrassed. I didn't have enough money on that trip, and I even borrowed 600 yuan from a friend. When I came back, I went to visit Lao Feng in the hospital, and he didn't say a word when he saw me.
I stood in front of him and felt extremely embarrassed, and asked suspiciously: Why did you report the loss of your bank card, I can't pay you. Lao Feng glanced at me and said: I am looking for my wife to take care of me, not to take my salary card and ignore housework.
I was so blamed that I blushed, and I couldn't defend myself, so I had to say: You give me the card, I'll pay the fee, and the doctor said that I would be discharged tomorrow.
Lao Feng was silent for a long time, I mentioned this matter again, and he said with a straight face: No need, I'll just ask Xiaomei to pay the fee.
I looked at the nanny embarrassedly and said to Lao Feng: I'm back, I don't need a nanny, or let Xiaomei go back.
Lao Feng's words almost made me feel heavy, he said: "I thought that I could be taken care of by finding a wife for the second marriage, but later I found out that it is better to hire a nanny to find a wife." Babysitters understand their responsibilities and obligations, while wives always have too many reasons and needs. ”
I was frustrated by that. I once thought I had found a partner I could rely on, but I forgot my original intention of finding a wife. Suddenly, I felt extremely regretful, what choir did I join?As a person with no fixed salary, I really don't gain more than I gain for a little less reliable interest.
People, if you can't see your identity clearly, it's really a terrible and sad thing.
Lao Feng continued: "I decided, we are not suitable, let's divorce." I'm going to hire a nanny to take care of me, and if you're willing to stay, compete with Xiaomei to see who has the better business ability. ”
When I heard this, I felt ashamed. I thought I had found someone I could rely on, but I completely forgot my original intention of finding a wife. I suddenly felt very sorry that I had lost more than I had gained for these less practical interests.
This story made me realize that it is a terrible and sad thing for people to not see who they are.
