This scene seems a little unusual, but it was an awkward experience between my husband and me. Let me start slowly.
It was a weekend afternoon and I went shopping with my old cousin. My cousin was my playmate when I was a child, we had a good relationship and we were always full of laughter when we met. However, this meeting was a little different.
Not long after entering the mall, my cousin suddenly interjected: "Little sister, which company have you been working in recently?" What about the income? Her tone was a little sarcastic, as if she was testing me.
The "25000" I was about to say was kicked by my husband, which made me a little embarrassed. I immediately changed my tune and said, "5000, 5000, I work in a small company and don't earn much." ”
The cousin seemed a little surprised: "Huh? Your salary is only 5000? So low? She looked at me with some disbelief in her eyes.
I smiled a little helplessly: "Yes, it's only 5,000, but I'm still working hard, and I hope to get a promotion and a salary increase in the future." ”
The husband came in on the side: "Little girl, don't listen to her nonsense, her salary is more than 5,000." He said as he squeezed my hand.
My cousin was a little puzzled: "Then how many are you?" ”
I tried to calm down and said, "Hehe, my husband is joking, my salary is really only 5000." ”
As we walked, we came to a designer store. My cousin looked at a beautiful dress and said happily, "Wow, this dress is so beautiful, but it's so expensive." ”
I looked at it, and my heart was a little moved. My husband was a little hesitant: "It's so expensive, it's not suitable for us to buy it now." ”
My cousin seemed to see our embarrassment and said, "It's okay, I'm very happy to be able to accompany the selection." ”
I felt some emotion in my heart. Although my husband's economic situation is average, he is always reluctant to put too much pressure on me. Although my cousin seemed to care about my work and income, she just wanted me to be happy. As for myself, I always care about what I do because I am worried about the eyes of others, and this contradictory mood of self-directing and self-acting makes me a little broken.
Leaving the mall, my husband and I were quiet all the way. It wasn't until dinner that he suddenly said, "You know what? I don't care how much your salary is. I looked at him with some surprise.
He continued: "I know you've been working hard and I know you've given a lot for your family. No matter what your salary is, I will support you, like you, and love you. His eyes were filled with sincerity and warmth.
I felt as if I had been touched by something, and tears flowed down my eyes unconsciously. In this moment, I felt his feelings, and I felt my own heart. Perhaps, salary is not a measure of happiness, the most important thing is love and support for family.
This experience gave me a deeper understanding of my life and emotions. It also made me begin to understand that happiness does not lie in external materialism, but in inner perception and satisfaction. Since then, I no longer care so much about other people's eyes, and I cherish the relationship between my family members more. Every reflection and growth seems to be a blissful experience.
I was deeply touched by my husband's words, and I felt extremely warm by his support and understanding of me. I held his hand tightly, and tears flowed uncontrollably. "Thank you, dear. I said.
He smiled, "You're welcome, this is the life between us." ”
My cousin also joined the conversation: "Yes, family happiness is the most important, everything else is secondary." ”
When I got home, I sat on the couch and remembered everything that had happened today. Suddenly, I had a sense of enlightenment. Perhaps, I have always cared too much about what others think of me and neglected the true desire of my heart. I should be more determined to live my life and no longer be swayed by the eyes of the outside world.
Time passed slowly, and I was recognized and improved in my work. My income has also slowly increased. However, what makes me happiest is not these material changes, but the growth and awareness of my heart. I began to cherish every income more, and I also cherished the love and companionship between my family members more.
