Yesterday, when I got off work, my husband called** and mysteriously said that he wanted to surprise me and asked me to go home as soon as possible. I'm a little puzzled, what kind of fame does he want to do if he is like this on holidays?
I rushed home after work, anxious on the way. Usually my husband would pick me up after work, but this time he didn't. When I arrived at the door of my house, I found that it was pitch black.
I was just about to turn on the light, but suddenly all kinds of soft lights suddenly lit up around me, I was a little surprised, and when I reacted, my husband was already walking towards me with a bouquet of roses in his hand.
This scene was really unexpected, I didn't expect my husband to be so attentive. The other day I casually mentioned our colleague's romantic proposal, and he actually took it to heart.
At that time, I said casually, "Look at people, how romantic, feasts, roses, gifts, we have been married for so many years, and you have never given me roses." ”
Actually, I'm just kidding. Although my husband has never been so romantic, he always sends me red envelopes every Valentine's Day, although it is saved from the pocket money I give him.
I've always been practical, thinking that sending roses is romantic, but wasteful. My husband also had this idea, but I dissuaded him.
Although the flowers are beautiful, they are like fireworks, and they will soon wither. It's better to go out for a big meal or buy clothes. ”
I didn't expect my husband to make a bloody investment this time. The roses were there, and they were discounted, almost blinding me.
Oops, where did the money come from? I'll ask first.
Spending so much money, my husband's pocket money is obviously not so much, is he hiding his private money?
My husband glanced at me and suddenly came over and gave me a tap, "What are you thinking?" ”
I touched my aching head and pouted.
My husband said to me again: "Some time ago, I always worked overtime, you think I am in the factory or the store, but in fact I am helping a friend, and he gave me some hard money." You are in charge of all the money in the family, and sometimes my pocket is cleaner than my face. ”
This explains why he has been mysterious lately, often leaving early and returning late. I thought he had another woman out there.
Alas, he was like that, he didn't explain anything to me clearly, and I misunderstood him.
Thinking of this, I suddenly wanted to cry, after all, my husband has been working hard for this family for so many years, and I still doubt him.
Tears welled up all at once.
My husband wiped my tears and led me to the table. Looking at the "10th Wedding Anniversary" cake on the table, I remembered that we had been married for so long.
The table is full of my favorite dishes, all of which are carefully prepared by my husband. I was filled with emotion.
In order to commemorate this special day, I, who have always been low-key, actually posted a ** in the circle of friends for the first time.
After eating, my husband went to the kitchen to wash up, and I leaned on the sofa.
The child and mother were sent out to play by my husband, and I suddenly had a moment to spare.
I browsed the circle of friends casually, but I didn't expect that the post I posted before got a lot of likes.
Looking at the comments, especially my girlfriend's, I was a little stunned.
She sent a wry smile and then commented, "You've really earned it." ”
This sentence seemed to have become her mantra to me, especially after our family situation improved.
At first I thought she was just joking, but after a long time, I began to feel that there was something ulterior motives in her words.
It goes back 11 years.
My girlfriend and I were both 28 years old.
We have known each other since kindergarten, and we have been classmates all the way to elementary and junior high school, so we naturally became best friends.
I didn't get into high school or college, and then I went to work in the south with my relatives.
And my girlfriend's grades have always been very good, and she was admitted to a second-class college in the north in the college entrance examination.
When we parted, we hugged our heads and cried, because we were almost never separated from each other since we were children, but now we are separated from each other from north to south, and the opportunities to meet are becoming less and less.
After we separated, the busyness of life made us less and less connected. The Chinese New Year was the only time we had the chance to meet, but even so, it felt a little strange. Although we both cherish the camaraderie we have cultivated since childhood, as time goes on, contact becomes scarcer and more alienated when we meet.
I thought our friendship would last a long time, but the harsh reality taught me that not all cherishing can be reciprocated in the same way.
After graduating from college, my girlfriend went to Beijing with her boyfriend, which made the connection between us even more indifferent. I tried to ask her about her life, but she always answered perfunctorily, and over time, I stopped reaching out to her.
It wasn't until her third year in Beijing that her boyfriend cheated on her that she found me again, hoping for support. Although I was hurt in my heart, I couldn't ignore her plight.
In the months since she reconnected with me, she kept complaining to me about her ex-boyfriend's wrongs and advising me not to fall in love easily. I was in love, but her words put a lot of pressure on me.
However, it didn't take long for her to start a new relationship again, boasting about how good her new boyfriend was and how loving the two were. I can only silently wish her happiness, although my heart is inevitably a little sour.
When I was 26 years old, my breakup with my boyfriend made me realize our differences and eventually chose to return to my hometown. The pace of life has slowed down a lot, and although life is dull, my mother's urging me to marry from time to time makes me feel stressed.
The next year, my best friend returned to her hometown because of her mother's illness. She reconnected with me and we went shopping and chatted together. Although I was unhappy with her past behavior, I chose to forgive her out of years of friendship.
Once, she dragged me on a blind date with her for a soldier. She was reluctant, but reluctantly agreed for the sake of her mother's threat. At the blind date scene, I said hello to the soldier brother awkwardly, and I felt that the atmosphere around me was a little awkward.
On the day we went on a blind date, my first impression of Brother Bing was that he was honest and honest, with a good figure and a slightly dark figure, which may be the result of long-term training.
And my best friend is good-looking, although she is a little quick-tempered, but she and Brother Bing form a kind of complementarity. I think the two of them are a good match.
However, after the blind date ended, the girlfriend didn't seem to be satisfied.
On the way home, she kept saying, "It's just a poor soldier, I don't want it." ”
I felt a little uncomfortable.
Blind dates are inherently voluntary, and if you don't like it, forget it, there's no need to attack others.
I have always respected the military, and it is they who have defended our country on the front lines and allowed us to enjoy the happy life we have now.
But because of this blind date, I had a conflict with my girlfriend.
She left with a look of displeasure on her face.
A few days later, she came to my house for help in a hurry.
Thinking of her previous attitude towards Brother Bing, I still feel a little unhappy.
She immediately began to flatter, saying, "Well, I know it's wrong." If you like him, I can introduce him to you. ”
I was a little surprised, but also satisfied.
After a few days, I finally mustered up the courage to ask my brother out of the army.
He looked at me, his face was slightly red, and I secretly smiled, it turned out that he was also a little shy.
While waiting for the food, he handed me two red tickets, and I was a little confused.
He immediately explained: "Pay back the money you paid for the last meal." ”
That's when I remembered what happened last time.
That day, he went on a blind date with his girlfriend, forgot his wallet at home, and finally I paid the bill.
I thought it was just a small thing, but I didn't expect him to remember it.
I brushed the broken hair from the front of my forehead and said, "It's okay, don't take it personally." ”
However, how can a girl pay for a meal? He said with some embarrassment.
Oops, this machismo isn't good. "I was joking on purpose.
He was a little embarrassed, "It's really not, it was my blind date, how can I make you pay, I'm so embarrassed." ”
I invited that time, and this time it's your turn. ”
But ......I immediately interrupted him, "What are you hesitating about?" I'm leaving, not eating with you. ”
He quickly made a muzzle gesture, and I thought he was so cute.
Thinking about it, I'm really glad that Siqi didn't bring a wallet when he went on a blind date with his girlfriend, and I'm glad that my girlfriend didn't take a fancy to this "poor soldier". Otherwise, there would be no fate between me and Siqi.
The day before Siqi went to the troops, we confirmed the relationship. Before he left, I took him home.
I thought my mom would object to us dating.
After all, his family conditions are much worse than those of my previous blind date.
My best friend said that he was a "poor soldier", which was not wrong.
Siqi is the middle of three children. His father died young, and his mother single-handedly brought up the three brothers.
Because of his poor family conditions, his brother failed to get together the bride price when he married his wife, so he could only go to the woman's house to become a son-in-law. And his younger brother is still in school.
He has also been on a blind date several times before, but they all failed because his family was disliked by the woman.
Mom seemed more enlightened than I expected, she said, "Marriage is yours, you make your own decisions, your future life is your own, and I believe that military people have a greater sense of responsibility than others." ”
Yes, although I haven't been with Siqi for a long time, his performance has given me enough security through this period of contact.
We went climbing the mountain on our second date, but I accidentally fell down while going down, and he didn't hesitate to pick me up and take me down step by step. During this period, he did not complain, but blamed himself for not taking good care of me and making me hurt.
Look, he's really a big heart, it's obviously not his fault, but he wants to take all the responsibility on himself.
It's just a small episode of when we get along.
Half a month after we met, there was an accident in my family, and he risked his life to rescue me from the fire. At that moment, I had a firm belief in my heart that I chose this man.
On that day, my mother went to take care of my sick grandmother, and I stayed at home to rest because I was not feeling well.
After lunch, I felt dizzy, so I took my medicine and fell asleep in my bedroom.
When I woke up, there was already smoke all around, and I was terrified.
With a splitting headache and weakness all over my body, I struggled to get up and tried to walk outside, but found that the living room was already **, and with the thick smoke, I couldn't escape at all.
I reluctantly retreated to my bedroom and opened the window to jump in, but as soon as I saw the height of the sixth floor, I had a fear of heights and was dizzy.
I tried to shout for help, but the sound was quickly drowned out in flames. The phone was charging in the living room, and I had to wait for someone downstairs to help and wait for the firefighters to arrive.
I don't know how long it took me to give up hope, thinking that my life was short, until I heard a familiar voice.
Is it Siqi? He seemed to be calling my name.
I shouted as hard as I could, "Siqi, I'm here!" ”
But my voice was soon engulfed in flames.
Just when I was feeling hopeless, Siqi actually appeared next to me.
Ling'er, don't be afraid, I'm here. His voice trembled slightly, but it was also full of surprise.
My fear vanished when I heard his voice.
I looked at him, tears welled up in my eyes, and I didn't know what was going on, and as soon as it was dark, I fainted.
When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital.
I opened my eyes and saw Siqi leaning to the side. I am so touched to think of what he has done for me.
Suddenly, my throat was a little itchy and I couldn't help coughing.
Ling'er, are you awake? He had surprise and worry on his face.
I let out a hum, but didn't speak because my throat was uncomfortable.
Siqi immediately asked nervously: "Ling'er, **uncomfortable?" ”
It feels so good to be cared for.
I shook my head, "It's fine, it's just a little uncomfortable in my throat, maybe I choked on a little cigarette." ”
When I finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked around and saw that my mother was not there, so I asked, "Where is my mother?" ”
Before she could answer, her mother walked in through the door.
Seeing that I was awake, she nodded my forehead, "You careless girl, fortunately Siqi came in time, otherwise your life would have been lost." ”
I pouted at my mother, "I didn't know that there would be a fire in my house all of a sudden, I just knew that I was very sleepy after taking the medicine, and when I woke up, I found smoke billowing out." ”
Looking back now, I also feel scared, but fortunately I have thought about it.
I turned my head to look at Siqi again, and he was also looking at me worriedly, and my face suddenly turned red.
In the end, I found out that the *** at home was because the wires were aging. Come to think of it, we live in an old neighborhood and the house has been around for many years.
This incident has brought my relationship with Siqi one step further.
On the day he was about to return to the army after his leave, I felt the pain of separation for the first time.
Siqi said: "Ling'er, you wait for me for a year at most, and I will come back to be by your side." ”
I nodded, gave him a hug, and watched him go to the station.
I used to hear others say that most of the soldiers were wooden and lacked romantic cells.
But Siqi doesn't seem to be the same as what they say, as long as he has time, he will talk to me**, maybe it's the love period, we have endless words every time, and often time passes.
I waited for him to contact me every time, and my friends laughed at me for being Wangfushi.
I smiled awkwardly, but in fact, caring about someone, it is natural to want to talk to him.
A lot of people say that most of the soldiers are careless, but that's not the case, he will remember every word I say, and sometimes when I mention it casually, he will prepare a surprise for me.
A year later, he kept his promise and returned.
A month later, we entered the palace of marriage, and like all newlyweds, we promised each other a lifelong vow.
Internet.
After getting married, my husband was introduced by a relative to work as a maintenance master in a factory.
At first, I wondered, after all, my husband is only a veteran, how can he know how to repair machinery and equipment?
Later, I learned that he had been interested in all kinds of machines since he was a child, and there were a lot of books about machinery in his house, and when he encountered a problem that he didn't understand, he went to consult a neighbor, and that neighbor happened to be an expert in machine maintenance, so to speak, my husband's enlightenment mentor.
My husband is talented and very aggressive. After working in the factory for two years, he decided to start his own business and became a business owner.
Even though I was worried at first that he would be busy, he proved to be very methodical and took care of both work and family.
In the fifth year of marriage, my mother accidentally broke her leg. At that time, I was just pregnant with my second child, and I felt tired every day, and I had to take care of Dabao, so I had almost no energy to take care of her. But it was my duty on my husband to take up my responsibilities and work day and night to take care of all my mother's needs.
Until my mother** was discharged from the hospital, the aunts in the same ward thought that my husband was my mother's biological son and praised her for having such a filial son.
My mother said proudly, "This is my son-in-law, not my son." I couldn't help but laugh at these smug words.
Those aunts' eyes widened, perhaps they never thought that there was such a filial son-in-law in the world.
After I was discharged from the hospital, my husband took my mom directly into our home to take care of her, even though my mom didn't agree.
My husband said, "Mom, people often say that a son-in-law is like half a son, and you are not only Ling'er's biological mother, but also my biological mother. You have done so much for us over the years, and I am grateful. Now that you are old, let me and Ling'er take good care of you in the days to come, okay? ”
After listening to my husband's words, my mother's eyes were red, and I was moved to tears.
After Dabao was born, I was busy with work, and my mother-in-law was reluctant to come over to help take care of me, and finally my mother felt sorry for me and took the initiative to quit her job to help me take care of the children.
Seeing my mother busy for our family, I was full of guilt, I could only give her more clothes and food on weekdays, and I could only send some red envelopes on holidays.
But my mother always blamed me for wasting money, saying that children need to spend a lot when they grow up, so I don't need to be so anxious.
Then she used all the red envelopes I gave her for our family for various reasons.
After Dabao went to kindergarten, his mother would pick him up after school every day, and then go back to the place where we used to live alone.
Despite my husband's best efforts to keep it, my mom always insisted, "You have your own life, and I have mine." Sometimes, it's also a good thing to keep a certain distance. ”
I understand that mom just doesn't want to disturb our lives. Therefore, she fulfilled all her responsibilities and withdrew from our lives.
Recently, due to her injury and hospitalization, she finally agreed to live with us. For me, that's a wish.
I had this thought on the first day she was hospitalized with an injury.
Our previous house was in an old neighborhood with no elevator. Considering that my mother is getting older and not as healthy as she used to be, she lives there alone, which makes me worry about what happens to me.
Unexpectedly, my husband and I had the same idea, and I can't thank you enough for that.
In the next few years, my husband's shop business became more and more prosperous, and we also changed to a bigger house, bought a car, and lived more and more prosperously.
On my 10th wedding anniversary, my husband gave me a big surprise. I originally just wanted to share our lives, but I didn't expect that a casual circle of friends caused dissatisfaction among my girlfriends.
She sent a wry smile and said, "You've really taken advantage of it." ”
I know that her marriage has not been going well and her life has not been satisfactory all these years. She wasn't very nice to me before, but I never really cared about it. However, her words made me start to think about ending the relationship.
I understood what she meant, she was jealous of me, and ridiculed me for taking advantage of the man she looked down on.
Some friends, I hope your days are getting better and better.
Some friends will feel jealous when they can't get used to seeing you live better than her.
Therefore, in the days to come, I just want to live my own life, and as for those superficial friends, it is better to stay away as soon as possible.
