The ancients said: Everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. We learned at a young age to save more money and prepare for the future of our families. Today, my partner and I went to the bank to go through the formalities for the maturity of the deposit of 200,000. The 200,000 yuan we earned with our hard work as a wedding gift for our son, and for his happiness, we worked hard to save this money. However, after years of hard work and dedication, our son still needs a loan to buy a house after he gets married. In order to ease his burden, we decided to put the interest on the deposit to good use, so that we could relax and enjoy a good meal. After all, we should also be gratified by our efforts.
With the marriage of our son, it took us two and a half years to save enough savings of 200,000 yuan again. It was a very difficult process, we worked hard during the day and went to odd jobs at night, accumulating every penny. In order to ease our burden, my son rejected our suggestion to give him more loans. So, we put 200,000 yuan in the bank for three years.
Additional expansion: In the past two and a half years, we have worked extremely hard. Waking up to the early morning birdsong, we begin our day's work. We did all kinds of jobs, from porters to waiters, from the cultivation of farmland to the cleaning of the city, and there was not a kind of job that we had not tried. Whether it's a hot summer or a cold winter, we stick to it. We worked hard to save the 200,000, and every penny is the crystallization of our sweat. This money means a lot to us, and it represents our efforts and dedication to creating a better future for our son.
After my son got married, I decided to quit my job and dedicate my precious time to my grandchildren in order to be able to take care of them. Although he has lost his income**, his son will give him some financial support every month, and his wife is doing her best to support the family's expenses. Our lives have become more austere, but we are not complaining because we know that it is for the happiness of our children.
Extra amplification: Children's laughter is our greatest joy. Whenever I see their lively and cute appearance, my heart melts. Even though we put a lot of effort and money into taking care of them, we never regretted it. We are willing to give everything for them, and we only hope that they will grow up healthy and happy.
Because of the impact of the epidemic, our income is not too high. Coupled with the confinement meals and red envelopes for the children, we spent nearly 40,000 yuan in savings. My son told us that he plans to pay off the mortgage in full in 2025, and that he has prepaid $400,000 this year, with $150,000 still outstanding. We decided to scrape together another 100,000 yuan for our son, and strive to complete the full repayment by 2024, so as to help our son get rid of the pressure of repaying the loan ahead of schedule. We don't want to see our son carry a heavy burden, and we want him to be able to live each day with ease.
We understand our son's pressures and all the efforts he is doing for the future of the family. As parents, we hope to help him share some of the burden so that he can be relieved as soon as possible. We believe that as long as we keep working hard, everything will be fine. We walk hand in hand with our son to face life's challenges and difficulties together.
Today, we got more than 20,000 yuan in interest on our deposits. My wife moved when she saw the benefits and proposed that we go firstRestaurantsEnjoy a meal as a celebration of the hard work of these years. I don't really value this bit of interest, so I think I'll go firstRestaurantsOne rub is enough. But my wife has always insisted on using this interest on ourselves, buying ourselves some clothes, and treating ourselves well. Although I don't have much vanity, I understand that my wife is here so that we can enjoy some of the finer things in life. So, I let go of my insistence and agreed to my wife's request.
Extra: We've come to oneRestaurantsand ordered a few dishes that we liked. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great and the laughter of people fills the whole space. We tasted the food and reminisced about the experiences we had together. At this moment, we feel the warmth and happiness of our family, and we are also proud and relieved of our hard work.
Now that we have reached the age of 60 of our lives, we look back on the past years with gratitude and satisfaction. We don't care for the children separately like some families, we choose to support each other together. We rented a house, both to take care of our grandchildren and to leave a peaceful space for our son and his family. We know we can't afford to buy two houses, but we believe that if we live together, we will be happy and healthy.
Extra: We live a simple and fulfilling life in this small house. Every morning, the first rays of the sun shine on our beds and wake us up. When we got up, we cooked breakfast together and enjoyed the warmth of home. After that, we worked together, I took care of the grandchildren, and my wife went out to work. In the evening, we went home together, sat around the table, and enjoyed dinner. Although life is simple, our hearts are full of contentment and gratitude.
The journey of life is full of ups and downs and bitterness, but as long as we have hope in our hearts and persist in working hard, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can move forward bravely and chase our dreams. Although we are over half a hundred years old, we still have a love and vision for life. We firmly believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to create our own bright future. I hope that every elderly friend can have a healthy and happy body and enjoy a happy life in old age. Let's spend this beautiful autumn day together, check in for your life, and record these sincere feelings and moods. Challenge 30 days to write a diary in Toutiao? Autumn life check-in season.
