At first, I was silently looking forward to the future life, hoping that after we had some savings, I could return to the countryside with my husband, redecorate our home, take care of a vegetable garden, raise some poultry, and even adopt a kitten and puppy, arrange some flowers and plants at the door, and live the kind of romantic life of "living in the human realm and deviating from the heart".
Now, however, with my dad suffering from cancer, that vision has changed completely.
Dad's cancer was discovered unintentionally, and after the ** process, I deeply realized that if I was in the countryside, I might miss a lot of ** opportunities, and even my father may have passed away.
My husband and I are both college students, and after we met at work, we fell in love at first sight and were happy with each other.
I am a girl from rural Anhui Province, the only child in my family, and my parents rarely buy expensive clothes in order to raise me. When I was in junior high school, I was sent to a private middle school for a better education, and although the tuition fees were not low, my father did not hesitate to invest in me.
I remember my parents always working hard, my father being a bricklayer, and my mother and I were decorating houses for others. Although he had a good income, he lived a frugal life, and in addition to farming, his father occasionally smoked and drank a little wine.
My parents had high expectations for me, and I worked hard to study Xi, and through the hard Xi work of private schools, I finally got into the university of my dreams.
My husband is from the countryside of Xuzhou, handsome, stable, and cares about me when we get along. After four years of love, we decided to get married.
On the issue of getting married and buying a house, I originally planned to buy a house in Xuzhou, but considering that we work in Nanjing, we finally chose to buy a house in Nanjing. Despite taking out a little loan, we have a stable job and a CPF and live a worry-free life.
After getting married, I feel very satisfied with my happy life and my own house and a caring husband.
However, a sad news shatters the happy life.
I learned that my father had neck pain, coughing, and swallowing discomfort for a long time, and was finally diagnosed with esophageal cancer. I hurried back to my hometown and took my parents to Nanjing, where my father underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
My parents were worried about the expenses and were originally reluctant to live in the city**, but at my insistence, they finally agreed. After coming to Nanjing, my father got advanced ** and his condition was controlled.
My family had easy access to the hospital in Nanjing, and after three months, my father's condition had stabilized. Today, a family of five feels very happy together.
Thinking about it, if my father is in his hometown county**, the consequences are unimaginable. I found that we bought houses in big cities, provided better conditions for our children, and enjoyed more employment opportunities, high incomes, and high-quality medical and educational resources, which are all incomparable to the county.
Now I understand that the pastoral life is just a dream. For the sake of our families, let's work together and make progress together.
