Ms. Li, a 62-year-old retired woman, has been dead for seven years and has not remarried. Before retiring, she worked in a traditional Chinese medicine factory, and now she can receive a retirement salary of 2,300 yuan a month. Although she has a small 29-square-meter house, she feels that this small space is enough for her needs. Ms. Li is an active person who did not choose to live a leisurely life after retirement, but continued to work to earn money. It was only recently that she decided to say goodbye to her working life and get ready to enjoy her old age.
Ms. Li said that when her husband was alive, she lived happily because he was obedient to her and treated her as a treasure. However, the day her husband died suddenly, she was shocked. After her husband fell ill and collapsed, Ms. Li rushed to call for ambulance**, but her husband eventually left the world at the door of a neighbor's house. Being widowed was a devastating blow to 55-year-old Ms. Li, who felt that happiness was far away from her and did not know how to spend the rest of her life.
However, 7 years have passed, and Ms. Li has gradually come out of the pain of widowhood. She realized that she couldn't always live in the past and began to look to the future. The absence of her children made her feel lonely, so she decided to find a wife to accompany her. The child expressed support for her decision, so she contacted the matchmaker, hoping to find a suitable partner.
The matchmaker arranged for Ms. Li Mr. Zhang, a retired old man who was 10 years older than her, and his wife had passed away. Mr. Zhang has been retired for many years, receives a retirement salary of 3,500 yuan a month, and lives in a house where he lives alone. Feeling lonely after his wife's death, he decided to find an old wife to keep him company. Although he has some special hobbies, such as picking up garbage, this does not affect his determination to find a partner.
However, when Ms. Li and Mr. Zhang met, their first impression of each other was not entirely identical. Mr. Zhang raised some grievances about Ms. Li's height and dress, believing that she did not meet his standards. Ms. Li didn't care much about Mr. Zhang's hobbies, and she said that it was acceptable, as long as she didn't pile up garbage at home.
In the end, the blind date ended in failure because Mr. Zhang felt that Ms. Li was too short and was worried that she would affect his face. For Mr. Zhang's thoughts, people are a little speechless. It is incomprehensible that a 72-year-old man still cares so much about the appearance and height of others.
In general, Ms. Li and Mr. Zhang are looking for a partner to accompany them, but their requirements and expectations for each other are not exactly the same. This may be because everyone has a different definition of happiness and contentment, but hopefully they will eventually find a partner who suits them and live a happy old age.
