I am an ordinary retired worker, and my son Xiao Ming is about to buy a house, so I decided to give 100,000 yuan to support him.
Originally, I thought that Xiao Ming would buy a house in the city, so that it would be convenient to go to work and make daily life more convenient. Yesterday, Xiao Ming suddenly said to me: "Dad, I have already bought a house!".”
Surprised, I retorted, "Have you bought a house?"When is it, why don't you discuss it with me?”
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "I want to surprise you." I have already paid the deposit for the house, and the rest of the money is going to be paid when the contract is signed next month. ”
Where's the house?I asked curiously.
It is a farmhouse courtyard next to our hometown village, the environment is very good and quiet, suitable for us to live after retirement. Xiao Ming said excitedly.
I was a little surprised when I heard it: "Rural?".Haven't you always lived in the city, how did you think of buying a house in the countryside?”
Xiao Ming explained: "Dad, I have always longed for a simple rural life. The city was getting more and more crowded and noisy, and I was so stressed that I would always want to move to the countryside if I had the chance. Now that I have this opportunity, I want to make this dream come true. ”
I listened and fell into deep thought. Indeed, life in the city is fast-paced, and you have to queue up to worry about everything, so instead of suffering in the city in your later years, it is better to retire and go back to your hometown to enjoy the joy of family. However, I was still a little worried, so I said, "Son, wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to live alone in the countryside?"”
Xiao Ming said: "You don't have to worry about this, I've already thought about it." You can raise some chickens and ducks in the yard, grow some vegetables and fruits to eat by yourself, and live a basic self-sufficient. I also have a very convenient car to go to the county seat, and any needs can be met. ”
Seeing that he has thought it through, I will no longer object. However, he still advised: "It's good that you think clearly, the future is really over, just don't regret it." ”
Xiao Ming smiled and nodded. I saw that he was in high spirits, and I was happy for him.
So I talked to Xiao Ming: "Son, there is still a big problem that you have not solved when you move to the countryside, that is, my pension and medical problems. ”
I frowned when I heard this: "You have to take care of me and my family on such a long mountain road, which is too big for you and is really inconvenient." ”
Xiao Ming said: "Dad, don't worry about it, this is a piece of cake for me." Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”
I'm still a little reassured. As I get closer to my retirement date, I feel more and more that this problem is serious. I have to have a good discussion with Xiao Ming, so that I don't regret it when I retire.
Son, you have repeatedly said that it is okay to go to the countryside to live, but as a father, I have to think more long-term for you. I said worriedly, "You're still young and energetic, and now you don't think it's a big deal to drive back and forth for a few hours." But do you think that in ten or twenty years, you and I will still be so healthy?At that time, simple procurement and medical care will be a problem, and our quality of life cannot be guaranteed, which will be a great regret. ”
When Xiao Ming heard me say this, his face was obviously deep thinking. After a long while, he spoke, "Dad, I understand your concern. But I still want to try my dream. As you know, when I was a child, I liked to go to the countryside to play, but I didn't expect that now I have the opportunity to actually live in the countryside. It's important to me. ”
Seeing that his words were earnest, I could not bear to oppose him strongly. I thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, you can try for a year and see if you can really adapt to that kind of life." If you find it difficult, move back to the city as soon as possible. What do you say?”
Okay, just one year!Xiao Ming nodded briskly, and then said, "Dad, I promise to always consider your feelings." If you really don't like life in the country, we'll go back to the city. ”
Hearing him say that, I feel a lot more relieved. It seems that he did not go his own way, but deliberately. As a father, I should also believe in him and give him a chance to realize his dreams.
In this way, Xiao Ming soon moved to live in a farmhouse in the countryside. For the first month, I was concerned about his situation. On one call, I noticed that his face looked much more rosy and he was in good spirits.
Dad, life is comfortable and relaxed, the air is fresh, there is no pressure from work, and I feel much younger!Xiao Ming smiled and said to me, "When did your old man move over?"I will take you to the field, blow the wind, look at the wheat waves, sit at the entrance of the village and bask in the sun, it is very comfortable!”
I listened to the picture from his mouth, and my heart felt peaceful and peaceful. It seems that it is not bad to live such a simple life. I thought to myself that maybe I could really consider retiring and moving to the countryside to live with him.
It dawned on me that I needed to take care of myself when I was sick, which was a big burden for Xiao Ming. I should not inconvenience his life because of my own selfish wishes.
It seems that I should still listen to my heart and choose to stay in the city where the medical resources are better to live. Although I also look forward to living an idyllic life, my son's dreams cannot be broken because of me. As a father, I should be more considerate and supportive of his decision than force him to take care of me.
