Title:"The nanny proposed to the 46-year-old, but I hesitated and didn't answer, and she cried out in tears
My name is Li Jun, I am 46 years old, and I am a middle-aged man who has lived alone in Beijing for a long time.
Until half a year ago, I hired a female nanny named Ah Zhen to help me take care of my daily life.
Ah Zhen is 32 years old this year and is a slightly chubby Hebei girl.
She has short shoulder-length hair and laughs revealing two cute dimples.
She wore a plain plaid shirt for her first interview, giving her an honest and down-to-earth feel.
At that time, I decided to hire her, mainly because she gave a genuine feeling.
Ah Zhen promised me, "Mr. Li, I will work hard, don't worry!.""In the days that followed, Ah Zhen really did a very good job of taking care of my life.
She wakes me up on time every day, prepares a big breakfast, and washes my clothes.
In the evenings, she often cooks home-cooked food for me to eat, which tastes authentic.
I also got to know Jane and sometimes we would talk to her, and she would tell me something about her hometown.
However, just a few days ago, Ah Zhen suddenly said to me: "Uncle Li, I want to marry you and be your wife, is it okay?"I was startled, and the newspaper in my hand fell to the ground with a "pop".
Stammered, "Ah, Ah Zhen, what are you kidding?"Ah Zhen looked at me seriously and said, "Uncle Li, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were a good man who was stable and reliable.
During the time I've been together, I've become even more sure of that.
I really want to marry you and live with you for the rest of my life. ”
Ah Zhen's words left me at a loss, and I didn't know how to answer.
In fact, with Ah Zhen's age and conditions, it is not difficult to find a suitable unmarried man to marry.
But she chose me, a middle-aged man 14 years older than her.
This surprised and embarrassed me.
Ah Zhen, you are so beautiful and smart, you should find a young man of the same age to be with.
Aren't you too wronged to marry me?I tried to persuade.
No, Uncle Lee!Ah Zhen said excitedly, "I just like mature and stable people, and for me, you are the perfect marriage partner."
I hope you can agree and give us a chance to be together!Looking at Ah Zhen's expectant eyes, it was difficult for me to give her a negative answer directly.
I thought for a while and said, "Ah Zhen, this matter needs my careful consideration, can you give me some time?"You go back and rest first, and we'll talk later. ”
Although she was a little disappointed, Ah Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Li, I understand that this is very sudden for you.
Please think carefully before giving me a reply. ”
With that, she blushed and went back to her room.
I sat alone in the living room, unable to calm down for a long time.
That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Ah Zhen's marriage proposal undoubtedly had a huge impact on my life.
As a middle-aged man Xi to living alone, I never considered getting married again.
Because my ex-wife and I didn't have a good personality, I divorced a long time ago, and I haven't had a married life for a long time.
However, when I was only 14 years old, Ah Zhen offered me an unsolicited proposal, which caught me off guard.
The next morning, I plucked up the courage to talk to Zhen.
She had already prepared breakfast, and when she saw me come in, she blushed and lowered her head.
I took a deep breath and said in a gentle and rational tone as much as possible, "Ah Zhen, your request is beyond my imagination and needs to be considered by me.
But you also have to understand that if we are really together, we will face a lot of practical problems. ”
I continued: "The first is the issue of age gap.
The age difference of 14 years is a big test for a family.
You are young and vigorous now, but the chasm will only widen as time goes on. ”
The second is the economic condition.
I am now living on only my savings and part-time jobs, and I will be under a lot of pressure to support my family in the future.
You're going to want kids, and it's hard to know if I'll be able to give you the life you want. ”
I sighed and whispered, "Finally, I personally have become Xi to living alone.
It was also difficult for me to readjust to my family at this age.
Speaking of which, I feel guilty inside.
I knew that Ah Zhen's conditions were enough to find a better candidate.
However, my refusal may make her sad.
Sure enough, Ah Zhen raised her head, her eyes full of tears.
Uncle Li, I understand your concerns, but I am willing to face these difficulties in order to be with you.
I believe that as long as we love each other, there is no problem that cannot be solved. ”
In the face of her expectant eyes, I couldn't bear to say no more directly.
Ah Zhen, you go back and rest first.
We all need time to think carefully. ”
I looked away and whispered.
Zhen nodded silently and turned back to her room.
I was left alone at the table, my heart full of tangles and pain.
Over the next few days, the atmosphere between me and Ah Zhen became extremely awkward.
Although she still takes care of my daily life meticulously, she never takes the initiative to talk to me again, just keeps her head down and is busy with the work at hand.
I was also so troubled by this situation that I was so disturbed that I talked less, and I often promised her service in my mouth, but my heart was full of guilt.
At noon that day, I was alone at home eating the meal prepared by Ah Zhen.
She then came to the table with a look of hesitation.
Uncle Li, have you eaten enough?I'll clean up the table. ”
Oh, I'm full, you clean up. ”
I didn't dare look at her, so I grabbed the last bite of food and stuffed it into my mouth.
At this moment, Ah Zhen suddenly choked up, suddenly knelt in front of me, and grabbed my trouser legs with both hands!"Uncle Lee!She looked up at me with a tearful face, "Are you so ruthless?"I beg you, promise to be with me!"Ah Zhen's sudden move left me dumbfounded.
She was crying so hard that I tried to pull her up, but she clung to my legs.
Jane, don't do that.
Get up, let's have a good talk!My face was pale and my mind was numb.
Nope!She cried, "Unless you promise me, I will marry you!"You can't find a woman who loves you more than I do!"Do you think I'm easy?I've given up so much to muster up the courage to propose to you!She shuddered, tears streaming down her face, "Why can't you see my true heart!.""I was embarrassed by her crying.
I knew she must have made a huge determination to propose to me, but my selfish refusal undoubtedly broke her heart.
Ah Zhen, don't cry, get up and let's talk. ”
Nope!Unless you agree!She choked up again.
I squatted down and stroked her shoulder: "Ah Zhen, I understand your intentions, I am really very moved."
But you've also thought that if we can't go on for a long time, it will only make everyone more miserable. ”
I beg you, Uncle Lee!She grabbed my arm, "I know what I want."
Just give our relationship a chance!I looked into her teary eyes and my heart was in turmoil.
I knew it would break her heart to say no to her, but it would be hard for me to agree to her request at this time.
Ah Zhen, you get up first, let's talk slowly. ”
I whispered, "I promise you that I'll seriously consider this again."
I helped her to sit on the couch and slumped myself into the chair opposite.
The two were speechless for a while, and only Ah Zhen's slight sobs remained in the air.
I closed my eyes and was in a painful struggle like never before.
After that day, Ah Zhen and I were silent for a long time.
She was obviously waiting for my final reply, and I myself was caught off guard by the sudden proposal.
A few days later, Ah Zhen suddenly came to me, looking hesitant, but also made up some kind of determination.
Uncle Lee, I have something to say to you. ”
She kept her head down. I replied wearily.
Her voice was soft.
I jumped up from my chair in surprise: "What did you say?!Ah Zhen twisted her fingers, her face flushed: "That's it."
I later found out I was pregnant. ”
I felt like my world was falling apart.
It turned out that we drank too much that day, and such a ridiculous thing happened, and we made Ah Zhen like this.
What are you—what are you going to do?...I asked hesitantly.
I don't know!She looked at me again with red eyes, "This child is two months old, and I've decided to keep it."
But if you still don't say yes to me, what should I do?Her tears flowed again, and I realized that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight lately, and her face was not so rosy.
I knew I had to take responsibility for my actions.
Ah Zhen, I'm so sorry, it's me who is not good. ”
I stepped forward and whispered, "In that case, I promise to marry you, and we will raise this child together to grow up**."
Really, really?She looked at me in disbelief.
I nodded, "I can't leave you alone with the consequences.
Let's start over. ”
Uncle!Zhenzhen said excitedly, hugging me and crying with joy, "Thank you!."I always knew you were a good person!I gently patted her on the back, with mixed feelings.
Although it was a little difficult to agree to her, I also felt a lot more relieved to see her relieved look.
In this way, after all kinds of unexpected circumstances, Zhenzhen and I decided to get married.
Although there were many unexpected changes along the way, I had to accept the reality and start a new life with her.
On the day of the marriage registration, she wore a wedding dress and smiled sweetly.
I held her hand, and in addition to apprehension, I also had a trace of expectation and joy in my heart.
At the wedding, we stood hand in hand in front of relatives and friends, and I solemnly put on a ring for Zhenzhen: "I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you and never be separated." ”
Zhenzhen blushed and replied, "I am willing too." ”
Although the process is tortuous, at this moment, Zhenzhen and I have indeed become husband and wife.
In the face of the unknown, I told myself to keep believing that we would be able to overcome difficulties and create a happy new life.
In the days after we got married, Zhenzhen and I began to adapt to the various changes in our married lives.
In the beginning, I, who was Xi used to being alone, was uncomfortable with the sudden arrival of family life and was always clumsy.
Zhenzhen also sensed my discomfort, but she was very considerate and never made trouble with me.
She is still busy taking care of my life every day, but now her physical condition has deteriorated a lot, and the reaction to pregnancy and physical discomfort always make her seem tired.
One day in the middle of the night, Zhenzhen suddenly ran to the toilet and threw up.
I hurried to follow her, and it was not good to see her weak appearance.
Zhenzhen, your health is so poor, I'll do the housework in the future.
You have a good rest. ”
I crouched down and whispered to her.
No, it's my responsibility. ”
She replied with a strong spirit.
Children are also my responsibility. ”
I said firmly, "You need to rest more now."
I'll take care of the affairs at home, don't be reckless. ”
Zhenzhen nodded with red eyes.
Since then, I've worked hard to share household chores, learn to cook, do laundry and other chores, and often massage Zhenzhen's legs and feet, which is very reactive to pregnancy.
Our relationship has gradually become intimate.
One night, Zhenzhen suddenly apologized to me: "Uncle, I'm sorry ......I was surprised and asked, "What did you say I'm sorry?""I did drink too much that day, but I wasn't completely out of my mind. ”
She whispered, "I actually meant to lure you into having sex with me......Because you have been refusing to be with me, I think the child may change your mind ......It's not fair to you, I'm really sorry. ”
Her tears flowed again.
I fell silent and sighed after a while: "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."
Since it happened, I am also responsible. ”
From that day on, I felt that Zhenzhen was not the simple and stubborn girl I imagined, and she also experienced a lot of struggles and choices in this relationship.
I began to really think about the relationship and accept her kindness.
When Jane was eight months pregnant, her belly was already very swollen.
She walks lightly and I was always worried about if she would suddenly go into labor.
In order to take care of her, I decided to give up my part-time job and concentrate on staying at home with Ah Zhen.
The baby is about to be born, and I want to spend more time with you. ”
I said this to Ah Zhen.
She nodded happily, her eyes full of trust and dependence.
