My name is Li Dong and I am 71 years old. After retirement, my pension was only 3,900 yuan per month, and I was living very poorly. My wife, Chen Feng, is two years younger than me, and after she retired, she loved to dance and often traveled with friends. I was alone at home watching TV, eating, sleeping and sleeping, and I felt that life was boring.
Ah Feng, can you go out less and spend more time with me?"One day, I couldn't help but say to Chen Feng.
Don't be like this, I've never played in so many years since I retired, and now I have the opportunity to go out and see it. You should also learn to take the initiative and make more friends, and life will be much richer. Chen Feng continued to be busy packing his suitcase.
I know she has a point, but I'm not Xi to living alone. We've been married for 50 years, and we used to be inseparable, but now she goes out to play every three days, and I'm very disappointed.
Sister Feng, can't you care more about me?I know how to play every day!"I'm a little angry.
Hey, we're all old, so let's not settle for it, why can't I go play?Isn't it possible to stay at home every day to watch TV with you?Chen Feng also raised his voice.
We had a big fight like that. Chen Feng finally went out with the box in a huff. I was alone at home, and I was very depressed. When we are old, what else do we have in our lives but each other?Why can't she care more about me?
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I went straight to the court to go through the divorce procedures. Chen Feng was also angry when he received a summons from the court, but finally agreed to the divorce.
In this way, we got divorced in an awkward way. Chen Feng continues to travel with friends all year round, and I live alone. In the first few months, I felt free of trouble, I didn't have to fight every day, and my life was much quieter. But slowly, emptiness and loneliness also hit.
I was alone at home watching TV, doing housework, preparing three meals, and it felt like time was passing very slowly. Occasionally, I try to go out for a walk or go to the park, but the joy of traveling is different from Chen Feng's. I miss the little things we lived together.
One day, I went to the vegetable market to buy groceries. Pushing a cart to pick in the vegetable area, he accidentally tripped over a radish on the ground and fell heavily on the ground. My left leg was in terrible pain and immediately swollen. The people around me helped me aside and asked me if I was okay and if I wanted to call an ambulance. After I checked it, I felt that my left leg might be broken. So I called 120 and was quickly taken to the hospital.
After an examination at the hospital, the doctor confirmed that my left leg was indeed fractured and I needed to be hospitalized for observation. At this time, I became scared in hindsight: I am living alone, my children are working in other places, my home is empty, I am going to be hospitalized, what should I do?
I lay in my hospital bed, looking at the ceiling, nervous. Will someone take care of me?Can I really survive these days alone?
Just when I was anxious, a nurse walked in. She looked to be in her forties, stocky and stocky, with a smile on her face all the time.
Big brother, my name is Ah Fang, and the doctor arranged for me to take care of your daily life. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you, and you'll be discharged from the hospital soon. Ah Fang said gently.
I was relieved and thanked me repeatedly. Ah Fang is really responsible, she regularly helps me wipe my body, feeds me, changes dressings, and often chats with me, so that I don't get bored.
Big brother, what did you do before?"One day Ah Fang asked me suddenly.
I am an ordinary worker who has worked in a machine shop for decades, mainly operating machine tools. "I talk about my old life.
Wow, it was not easy for workers in your time, the work was so hard!Ah Fang sighed.
I nodded and said, "yes, it was a bad time, but we lived to the fullest because we were all working towards the same goal." Unlike now, everyone is immersed in their own little world, and the relationship is much more indifferent. ”
Big brother is right!I think the most fearful thing for the elderly is loneliness. The children are busy with work, and the friends are gradually decreasing, don't you say?Ah Fang's words resonated strongly with me.
The reason why I fell and broke my leg was also because my wife was no longer with me after the divorce, and I was lonely and living alone. When people are old, what they need most is to have someone to accompany them. "I couldn't help but confide in Ah Fang about my experience.
Ah Fang listened to me very carefully, and expressed her understanding and concern from time to time. Talking to her made me feel very comfortable, as if I had found a long-lost soulmate.
Big brother, what are you polite, this is my job. You hurry home and have a good rest, and give me a ** when your strength recovers!Ah Fang said heartily.
I nodded, told her a few more words, and then got into the discharge bus and went home.
Back at the empty home, I started to feel bored again. My left leg still hurts a little, and it's not convenient for me to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. At this moment, I remembered that the business card that Fang gave me had her mobile phone number on it.
Okay, big brother, you tell me your address, I'll go over and help you clean up after buying the groceries!Ah Fang readily agreed.
In the afternoon of the same day, Ah Fang came over as promised. She helped me clean the room and made a couple of home cooking. We had dinner together before she took her leave.
Big brother, you have to pay more attention to nutrition by yourself, so that you can recover your strength quickly. I'll stop by the next few evenings to help you make dinner. Ah Fang touched the arm of the ** and said.
I hurriedly thanked him, but I felt a trace of warmth in my heart for the first time in a long time.
Since then, Ah Fang has come to my house every day after work, cooked me dinner, and then did some simple housework by the way. I'm happy to have someone to cook and talk to, and life is no longer so boring.
One night, we had dinner and chatted as usual. Ah Fang suddenly asked me, "Big brother, have you ever been married before?"Do you all live alone now?”
I nodded, and told her the story of me and Chen Feng. When it comes to divorce, my tone is still a little resentful.
After listening to this, Ah Fang looked at me seriously and said, "Big brother, I understand that you feel lonely, but you shouldn't blame your wife." She also has her own life, and you should understand each other and be considerate of each other. ”
I was a little displeased when I heard this, and asked her, "Then according to your meaning, I should let her play and stay at home and wait for death?"”
No, big brother, I mean, you should also be positive, enrich your life, make some friends, instead of waiting for your wife to accompany you all day. Ah Fang gently persuaded me.
I thought about it and felt that what Ah Fang said made sense. After so many years of divorce, I will only complain, in fact, I am also responsible. Maybe I should really make my life a little more colorful.
Afang, thank you, maybe you are right, I should change myself and regain the joy of life. I said seriously.
Yes, big brother, you see that my monthly salary is not much, but I will work hard to participate in some interest classes, sports and singing, etc., and live a very fulfilling life. When it came to interest classes, Ah Fang's eyes lit up.
I nodded my head in praise of her, but there was an urge to challenge her. A girl in her fifties can live so fully and happily, and I am an old man still moldy here, which is really unreasonable.
Okay, Fong, you're right!I decided to regain the joy of life as well!This week I went to sign up for a calligraphy class, and I used to write calligraphy quite well. I said excitedly.
Great, big brother!You can. Just let me know if you need anything, and I will fully support you!"Ah Fang happily encouraged me.
I feel like I'm motivated to live again. With Ah Fang as a confidant and supporter, my life has indeed become no longer monotonous.
So, with Ah Fang's encouragement, I began to live an active life. I signed up for the senior calligraphy class in the district twice a week. As soon as my leg injury was better, I started walking around the neighborhood and going to the park to sit. Ah Fang sometimes comes to stay with me after work.
One day, we went for a walk in the park, and I happily said to Ah Fang, "Ah Fang, thanks to you, my life has changed 180 degrees!".I found myself living so fully and abundantly. ”
Ah Fang smiled and said, "Don't thank me, big brother, it's all your own effort." I just gave you a little bit of support and encouragement. ”
I know that Ah Fang is very modest, but in fact, without her support, I would still live a life of self-defeat. It was she who brought out the potential in me and gave me back my love and courage for life.
Just when I was struggling with what to say, Ah Fang suddenly spoke: "Big brother, after getting along with each other during this time, I found that you are a very good person. I want to say to you that I like you, I want to take care of you, I want to be a part of your life. What do you think?”
Yes, but I don't think time matters, it's the feeling that matters. Over the past month, I have found that I really care about you and want to be the sunshine in your life. Ah Fang looked at me seriously.
Big brother, I'm not a little girl anymore, I know my heart very well. Don't think about it so much, just think about how you feel. Ah Fang said softly.
Okay big brother, you think about it slowly. But I want you to think about your own feelings and not follow the advice of others. Fong nodded.
On the way home, I kept thinking about Ah Fang's words. Indeed, I have always been very influenced by others, first Chen Feng, then my children, and I rarely live the life I want. Now, at last, there is a girl who is willing to accept me and accompany me for the rest of my life, isn't this what I have always dreamed of?
