The story begins in a quiet town where a 57-year-old retired aunt named Wang Li lives. She is a retired teacher in the city, with a gentle and kind personality who is loved by students and colleagues. Wang Li's family life seems to be uneventful, but the passage of time has left a unique mark between her and her husband.
Wang Li and her husband Chen Zhi met in their youth, and the passion and youthful madness of the past have long since faded away with the precipitation of the years. Together, they experienced the ups and downs of life, their son's adult independence, and the feeling of empty nesting that came with it.
Three years ago, their son moved into a new small home for work, and Wang Li and Chen Zhi's lives also ushered in a new change. With differences in habits and conflicting rhythms of life, they decide to try a new way of life – sleeping in separate beds.
This decision is not based on the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife, but on the basis of a practical situation and a choice of mutual understanding. Wang Li and Chen Zhi realized that separating the bed was not a separation, but would help ease the friction caused by the trivial matters of their lives. So, they set up two beds in the bedroom and started a new way of sleeping.
Although the initial attempts were a bit confusing, the passage of time made this new way of life all the more natural. Wang Li has her own little world in the bedroom, where she can read and think quietly, while Chen Zhi also lives a regular life in his own space. The tacit understanding and respect between the two were better reflected in this process.
In the story, Wang Li's body has also undergone some changes, such as uterine fibroids diagnosed by doctors. This made her cherish her health more, and also made Chen Zhi more caring and considerate. In a cold, Chen Zhi's love and care became a moment of Wang Li's touching. This can't help but remind her of the ups and downs of the two when they were young, and experience the precipitation of the years and the depth of the relationship.
In the family, the marriage of the son brought new joy to Wang Li and Chen Zhi. Although the division of labor in the family is different, the tacit understanding between the two makes this small family always full of warmth. After retiring, Wang Li chose an easy job, although the salary is not high, but she feels that it is a positive attitude towards life. And Chen Zhi also gave her understanding and support for her work choice.
In terms of economy, Wang Li calmly faced her retirement salary that was not rich. Although she does not have an independent small treasury, she has a very indifferent view of money. In this regard, she and Chen Zhi's philosophy is very much in line, and money is not very important in their lives.
At the end of the story, Wang Li summed up her life affectionately. She believes that young couples should tolerate each other, understand each other's shortcomings, and jointly create a warm atmosphere in the family. In the washing of years, she understands the importance of health and the preciousness of family warmth.
Conclusion: The blessing of the years, the warmth of the family.
