Wife in trouble through hardships and hardships

In this world, some couples are like passers-by, and when they walk, they go their own way. Some couples can only share joys and sorrows. When they are rich and prosperous, they love each other and go their separate ways when they are in poverty. However, both of us, whether swimming in prosperity or struggling in adversity, have always been loving and loving.

Of course, it is mainly the virtuous wife. To tell the truth, thanks to a good wife in my life, I would not be where I am today without my wife's love for me.

My wife is my distant cousin, and her father is my second uncle. We grew up together, but we never thought that she would be my wife and I would be her husband. She didn't study. When I was in primary school, I often went to her home to get food. Said to be a dish, in fact, it is pickled cabbage or hot and sour seeds made from radish Eiko. At that time, she was very poor, not only with scabies on her head, but also suffering from "wind and fire eyes". Not only did one hand shave his head with "snowflakes flying" and blood flowing, but his eyes were blurred with gum and tears flying. But that's it. Every time I go to her house, she still enthusiastically prepares sauerkraut and hot and sour seeds for me. Every day, she went to the production team to earn work points, and when she came back, she pushed the mill to prepare food rations for the whole family the next day. In my impression, it seems that no one in the whole family likes her and no one sighs her.

I seldom went to her house after I was suspended from school in the fifth grade. After I left home on the second day of the first lunar month in 1970, it was even harder to see her. In the winter of 1970, my eldest brother suddenly wrote to me asking me to go home and get engaged, saying that a girl named He was willing to marry me. But when I got home, I found it was a hoax. Of course, it wasn't the eldest brother who lied to me, but the woman's parents lied to me. They said to their eldest brother that they would marry the woman to me, but when they were engaged, they didn't want to. At that time, I was only seventeen years old and was ambitious to go to college, so I didn't care if I was engaged. Because my parents are gone, I will stay at my cousin's house when I get home. My cousin is one year younger than me, but she is very strong. At that time, I was full of "small peasant" thoughts, and I wanted to find a girl who could live as a housekeeper for me, so I quietly said to my cousin, "How about you marry me in a few years?" My cousin blushed and smiled at me and said, "You are a cadre and I am a farmer. Can you value me?" I said: "Cadres have to have a home?" My cousin said, "If you value me, I will marry you." I said: "You can think about it, you can't change your mind if you promise." My cousin said, "As long as you don't change your mind, I will never change my mind." I said, "I won't change my mind, but I'm too poor to have anything." My cousin said, "I'm not afraid you are poor, as long as you are good to me!"

I just "cheated" with my cousin for life, and in a few days, I left again. After returning to work, I wrote a letter to my second uncle, indicating my attitude of marrying my cousin. After receiving the letter, my uncle didn't say anything, but my uncle didn't want to. My uncle insisted on marrying my cousin to my aunt's nephew on the grounds that I was a cadre and my cousin was a farmer. The two old brothers argued over this matter, and finally only let my cousin make a statement. My cousin's character is stubborn, and what he says to me in private is like a nail on a board. Although I didn't shake out what I said, I said, "I won't marry anyone but Yuan Pingyin!" When my cousin saw that he was going to marry me, he said, "Yuan Pingyin has nothing. Do you marry him and drink the northwest wind?" Cousin said: "I only want to be good for others, not for anything else!" Big JIU saw his cousin determined, and said nothing more.

I've been away for three years, and I haven't seen my cousin for three years. Three years later, in 1974, when I went to college, it was even harder to meet my cousin. But we haven't broken contact, and we have a correspondence almost once a month. My cousin can't read, so I always write letters to my uncle to greet my cousin. When my cousin writes to me, she asks someone to write, usually in a few words. Before I went to college, she just told me to work hard. After I went to college, she told me to study hard. There are no disgusting words like affection, love and missing you.

What I can't forget in particular is the eight dollars and forty cents she sent me. The eight dollars and forty cents were all saved by her secretly beating wild ramie and selling peaches, but she didn't want to use them, so she put them all in an envelope and sent them to me. At that time, there was no need to worry about eating in college. The state gave 15 yuan and 50 cents a month for living expenses. But you have to raise your own clothes and pocket money. Because I have no parents and no home, no one gives me money. When my cousin saw my pity, she sent me eight yuan and forty cents. I sewed a cheap new suit with 8.40 cents, and I was very happy for several days.

After I graduated from college in August 1977, we got married in my hometown. Without a house, we live under someone else's eaves. Without furniture, his wife's maiden married several hoes. My mother-in-law gave us her 20 yuan private money because there were no pots and pans to eat. If there is no food, buy potatoes and radishes in the production team. A few days after I got married, I was assigned to teach in a middle school far away from my hometown, and my wife ate radish slices without oil stars for half a year. When I saw that my wife was so pitiful, I consulted with the school and asked my wife to be a cook in the school. At that time, my salary was low, I was 41 yuan a month, and my wife was 30 yuan a month. But her thirty dollars does not belong to her, and she has to pay the production team twenty-four dollars a month for labor days.

What makes me especially unforgettable is our wedding night. What a wedding night it was. I'm afraid no one will believe it. That night, when we were about to fall asleep, suddenly there was lightning, thunder and wind, and our "new house" disappeared for an instant: at first, the newspaper pasted on the bamboo fence wall was torn apart by the wind and rain, and then the wind blew the bamboo fence wall away. Naturally, the bed and quilt were drenched with rain.

I held my wife in the dark and stood in the wind and rain of indiscriminate bombing. I really didn't know what to do. Finally, the wife spoke first. My wife stayed for a long time and suddenly touched my shoulder with tears and said, "Don't be sad, when we have a house, life will be better!" I didn't make a sound, but I said in my heart, "alas, it's hard to talk about a house!"

But then we did have our own house. In order to settle my wife down as soon as possible and make myself have a home, I applied for returning to my hometown to work in 1980. There is a junior middle school in my hometown, only 20 miles away from the production team where I used to be. After I returned to my hometown, I discussed with the production team and bought an abandoned cowshed in the production team. The production captain asked for 300 yuan, but I said it was bad or bad. The production captain asked me to give him 100 yuan and 200 yuan. However, 200 yuan was also a debt, which was not paid off until three years later.

Alas, there are too many bitter things in the past, so I really can't go into details. In short, in the past decades, my wife has eaten all the hardships and suffered all the sins with me. I often think that her love for me is so heavy that it almost makes me breathless. If someone else had changed, he might have divorced me a hundred times.

I can't repay her, I just hope she can live a long and healthy life and grow old with me.
