Not impulsively, I fell in love with him at 48 and 59

In my mature years, I weaved a love story with that 59-year-old gentleman through ups and downs. At the age of 48, it seems that I have ushered in an incredible spiritual adventure in the second half of my life. In this sudden love, we explored the depths of the years together and discovered a new color in life, like a picture with far-reaching artistic conception.

Standing at the door of the pharmacy, I hurried to find that it was already a step too late. After a long wait in line, it was finally my turn, but sadly, the fever reducer was sold out. I felt helpless about the situation in front of me, and it seemed that going out on an adventure brought a lot of risk. So, I had to stay at home honestly, be fully armed, and do a good job of self-protection, after all, this is the safest choice.

When I got home, I decided to disinfect my home thoroughly. However, even so, there was still a hint of uneasiness in my heart. After much consideration, I decided to wash all my clothes thoroughly and open the windows for a full 20 minutes to feel a little more at ease.

When night fell, I was sitting quietly in the living room, immersed in the TV program, when suddenly the mobile phone rang, it was my son calling.

Mom, I saw on the news that the situation in our county has been very serious recently, you are home alone, no one takes care of you, I dare not let you go out recently!”

Don't worry, I've always had a strong sense of protection, don't worry. You should pay attention to protective measures when you are outside and remember to wear a mask. ”

Don't worry, Mom, I've sent you a few boxes of cold medicine, cough medicine, and fever medicine, and it's estimated that you will receive them in a day or two. ”

Hearing this, the corners of my eyes moistened a little, and I remembered that when my son was nine years old, his father left us. Over the years, I have worked hard to raise him, and now he is in college and working in other countries. During this time, he invited me several times to live in the city where he worked, but I always stayed here. Behind this decision, there are countless days and nights of dedication and deep mother-son affection.

I spent half my life in my hometown, a small and quiet county. Here, I have become accustomed to an ordinary and comfortable life, and I have become one with this land. And the tranquility of this town, in addition to my unique way of life, is also a group of cheerful and dancing square dance sisters, who often laugh and play, injecting a unique lively atmosphere into this town.

However, on an ordinary night, my life took an unexpected turn. When night fell, my legs began to bother me, and the pain made me toss and turn, unable to sleep. I thought it was just a consequence of the fatigue of square dancing some time ago, and I didn't pay enough attention to it. However, in the middle of the night, a feeling of heat permeates the whole body, and the palms of the hands are unbearably hot. Thinking back to the recent epidemic situation, I suddenly realized that maybe I had already been recruited.

Since the morning, my temperature has been high and stable at 385 or above, the whole body is weak, and the throat begins to become hoarse and painful. In the afternoon, my body temperature was close to 39, and my appetite was gone, so I could only pour water cup after cup. In a hurry, I eagerly awaited the medicine from my son, but when would it arrive?Can you wait for that life-saving drug?At this critical moment, I turned on my phone to make an inquiry, only to see a conspicuous line of prompts that made me shudder. Obviously, the urgently needed medicines were at the transit station dozens of kilometers away from me, but because of the delivery problem, I fell into an endless wait.

Faced with this sudden predicament, I began to search around my home to find some common cold medicine that I hadn't finished eating. However, the memories seemed to deceive me, and I could not find any trace of them.

At the moment, I had no intention of cooking and was unable to move, and although I drank a lot of water, it became extremely difficult to go to the toilet every time, and I staggered again and again, and almost fell to the ground. In this desperate moment, I silently prayed that I would be able to recover the medicines, which were my last line of defense against the disease.

My mood suddenly sank to the bottom, and there could be no surprises, after all, my son had not yet married, and my grandson's smile had never flashed in front of my eyes!I drank a large glass of water and fell asleep. However, as night fell, I tossed and turned all night, and I slept like a dream, desperately to make up for the precious time I had lost. During this long night, my mind wandered, as if blown away by a gust of wind, and I was lost in the labyrinth of memories.

In the drowsy hours, I seemed to faintly hear a knock at the door, followed by a person's call. Where is this sacred?Dare to visit at this time, don't you know that you are in danger?Suspicious, I hurriedly put on my N95 mask and walked to the door of the house with exhaustion.

Who?I asked, my voice tinged with a hint of tiredness and unease.

It's me, Lin Dayong, Yoshiko, you open the door quickly. Lao Lin's voice came through the crack in the door, full of concern and worry.

Lao Lin, do you have something to look for me?I'm sick, so I can't open the door so as not to infect you, so you better go back quickly. I explained carefully, hoping that he would understand my concerns.

Fangzi, I've already put on a mask, I'm not afraid of contagion, you open the door first. Lao Lin's voice revealed a firm determination.

I said, you can't open the door, I'll talk about it later. "I tried to stop his impulse, after all, my health is not optimistic.

I'm here to bring you medicine. Lao Lin's answer shook my heart, and a sense of gratitude and warmth welled up in my heart.

Thank you, Lao Lin, you can leave it at the door, and I'll go out and get it myself in a while. My voice was full of gratitude and touch, and at that moment, Lao Lin became the warmest existence in my life.

In the past two days, it is rare to see your speech in the sunset red group, and I always feel a little unusual in my heart. Hey, take care of yourself, feel free to call me if you need help. I'll go back first.

After about ten minutes, I finally opened the door and was surprised to find a bulging plastic bag at the door. When I took it back to the house, I saw that it was actually filled with antiviral Chinese patent medicine and antipyretics.

At that moment, tears involuntarily welled up in my eyes, and I was moved. At this moment of rush and competition for medical resources, Lao Lin did not hesitate to deliver these precious medicines to me, like a ray of warm sunshine. With gratitude, Lao Lin's kindness made me deeply appreciate the warmth of the world. Since he is so sincere, I am grateful, and I must not let down this deep affection.

As night fell, Lao Lin delivered a well-packed meal to my doorstep. He gently rang the doorbell to remind me to pick it up, and left silently. At this time, the food delivered was like a ray of warmth in the snow, because I no longer had the strength to cook. Although I was exhausted, I opened the lunch box and was greeted by a fragrant aroma of stewed pork ribs and a bowl of poached egg noodle soup, which was mouth-watering, as if I was savoring a precious love.

An hour later, Lao Lin asked me about my physical condition through WeChat. He asked with concern, "Have you eaten?"Has the fever subsided?I replied to him that things were much better and thanked him from the bottom of my heart for the delicious meals he delivered.

Early in the morning of the third day, I woke up to find that my whole body felt unwell and my throat began to tingle slightly. Just then, there was a knock on the door, which turned out to be a thoughtful breakfast, a delicious omelet and a bowl of warm millet pumpkin porridge. At noon, another nutritious meal was delivered to the door. Even though I lost my sense of smell for a while, my sense of taste remained sensitive, and I couldn't help but revel in the deliciousness of the food.

Thankfully, my body temperature started to drop that afternoon, and my mental state was much better. So, I took the initiative to contact Lao Lin to express my endless gratitude to him.

Lao Lin!You've been delivering delicious meals every day for the past two days, and you're not infected, are you?I asked worriedly.

It's okay, my resistance has always been good!And every time I go out, I wear a mask, and when I get home, I disinfect it, so it's fine. Lao Lin replied calmly, which made me admire his compassion even more.

Carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years, and the footsteps on the board of the ship seem to quietly ring the alarm bell. I have to be more careful, after all, life is not always smooth sailing in the Jiangnan water town. By the way, I have to tell you, my illness is moving away, and I feel refreshed, so you don't have to run around to deliver food for me.

Health is like a castle that needs to be carefully guarded, and it should not be taken lightly. Lao Lin, it may be difficult for others to find medicine, but where did you get the box you sent?

Haha, to tell you the truth, it was a long night in line at the door of the pharmacy, taking advantage of the early morning to catch up with the time to buy. Fortunately, this decision lived up to expectations and was duly rewarded.

Thank you, Brother Lin. When I said this, I was moved again, and an inexplicable sourness welled up in my heart.

On the fifth day, the body is fully **. Although the cough still reminds me occasionally, it's comfortable enough to cook independently. On this beautiful morning, the medicine specially selected by my son was finally delivered from afar. However, is it too late to receive the medicine at this time?

After lunch, I took the initiative to contact Lao Lin to find out what he has been busy with lately. It took three calls on WeChat to connect, and Lao Lin seemed to be still chatting with me on the surface, asking about my ** situation, but I vaguely felt a touch of unease. From his tone, I smelled something unusual.

Lao Lin, what's wrong with you?I asked with concern.

I'm fine, nothing's okay. Don't worry about me. Lao Lin replied lightly.

Do you have a fever?Do you still have medicine at home?I continued to ask worriedly, full of apprehension.

It's okay, don't worry. Okay, you have a good rest, the teapot is open, I won't talk to you anymore. With that, he took the initiative to hang up **, which was the first time he had done so.

There is no need to ask, Lao Lin must have been infected with the virus, presumably when he brought me food two days ago. Has he eaten?Do you still have medicine at home?Will his body be able to withstand it?No, I had to go see him for myself, and I couldn't let such a warm-hearted man fall into danger.

I carried the cold medicine, fever reducer, and cough medicine that my son mailed me and quickly came to Lao Lin's door. I knocked on the door for a long time, but Lao Lin did not respond, which confirmed my conjecture even more.

Lao Lin, hurry up and open the door, I'm Fangzi, I'm here to deliver medicine to you. ”

However, the door remained closed.

Sister Fangzi, I'm really sorry, I can't let you in. I'm worried I'm going to infect you, so you might as well go back.

Lao Lin, you may not know, I have already been infected, and I already have antibodies, so I will not be infected again. You really don't have to worry too much.

How do you know you won't get infected again?

Lao Lin, you may be a little lonely, haven't you watched the news?The experts have said that I am safe, rest assured.

After about ten minutes, Lao Lin put on his mask and finally opened the door. I quickly took the opportunity to walk in, and then helped him into the room. The house looked empty, and there was not even a trace of cooking in the kitchen.

I poured a glass of water, took out the medicine, and watched him drink it slowly.

Lao Lin, why are you doing this?You gave me all the medicine you bought in line all night, and you yourself are suffering from the pain at home alone, why didn't you tell me sooner?Don't you think of me as a friend?

I said, quickly walking to the kitchen and lighting the stove. Soon, a bowl of steaming food was ready, and I advised Lao Lin to hurry up and eat some.

Although I knew that I would not be infected again after being infected, Lao Lin still deliberately kept his distance and wore a mask, as if it was a solid protection. He kept trying to persuade me to go home.

After the nucleic acid test, I have turned negative, and Lao Lin is still suffering from illness. He is usually physically strong, but he cannot resist the torment of infection. I was worried that something would happen to him at home, so I tried to improve his diet, supervised him to drink plenty of water by **, and talked to him every two or three hours.

During the days when Lao Lin was experiencing the infection, I made a firm decision to go to his home and cook delicious meals for him, help organize his clothes, and open the windows to let in fresh air. Even though Lao Lin was wearing a mask, we were still able to have an in-depth conversation. Until the seventh day, Lao Lin underwent a nucleic acid test, and the result was negative, and the whole person gradually **. Witnessing this good news, my heart is filled with heartfelt joy.

That day, as we sat in the pavilion of the community, I couldn't resist asking him why he cared so much about me. Lao Lin hesitated slightly, and after a moment of thinking, he said frankly: "During the epidemic, a woman often feels helpless at home alone, and I, as a member of the Sunset Red Square Dance team, am willing to lend a helping hand and become her support." ”

I continued to ask, "Why did you keep all the medicine for me and not some for yourself?"Lao Lin replied with a smile: "At that time, I just hoped that you would be ** as soon as possible, and I didn't care about anything else." At this time, I felt a deep feeling of emotion in my heart, and I was glad to have met such a sincere and kind person as him in the vast sea of people.

Witnessing Lao Lin's clumsy and surprised expression, I understood that this was a rare opportunity that I should take the initiative to seize and cherish. I looked at Lao Lin again and said, "Lao Lin, we might as well get married!."”

Lao Lin's eyes widened, staring at me in disbelief, he couldn't move for a while, and he stammered: "Sister Fangzi, can you repeat what you just said again?"I smiled and nodded.

Let's get married, Lao Lin. I whispered, the warm sunlight shining on us, reflecting the joy surging on Lao Lin's face. He unexpectedly grabbed my hand, jumped up excitedly, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, okay, I'm okay." Cheerful laughter rippled in the air, like a happy melody.

It turned out that at that moment of square dancing, Lao Lin had a good impression of me. Despite the age gap between us, he has been holding back this emotion for fear of causing me inconvenience. However, as time passed, Lao Lin gradually got rid of the hesitation in his heart, and the relationship between us was like a blooming flower, quietly blooming in silence.

With an inexplicable apprehension, I carefully conveyed the news to my son. Surprisingly, my son did not hesitate to express his support, firmly believing that I should have had a loving partner like Lao Lin a long time ago. Lao Lin also shared the news with his daughter without reservation, and her daughter also did not hesitate to send her blessings.

A month later, we had a simple and warm wedding feast. In the warm blessings of the children of both parties and all the members of the Sunset Red Square Dance team, the two of us walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand and ushered in a happy new life. This journey of happiness is like a splendid picture scroll that unfolds leisurely in our lives, adding more exciting colors to our story.
