 We are old acquaintances, I put her inside my loved ones, we rarely talk, as if we do not need to, I can know her happy and unhappy, from the rhythm of her walk, the depth of her smile.

  

  The first time she came to my house, she still had that usual nice cool tone. She is like an old friend, in my home each room has a detailed look, from the layout to the lighting, from the tone to the placement of their views one by one.

  

  Mr. laughs: she turns out to be such an opinionated person. Yes, in addition to her opinion, she is also very straightforward, without you and I dragging the mud.

  

  After sitting down, she did not rush to drink tea, she asked us how the body was checked, and she said it is long overdue for a checkup, people in this life, only have health is true, so learn to treat themselves well. She told two stories.

  

  She has a hair, after work, through the introduction of people, and now married to her husband, the days of poverty, and after the marriage and carry a debt of tens of thousands of dollars. She is a reasonable girl. She always said: someone will do, money can be earned slowly.

  

  After the marriage, they soon had their children, just when she was quiet in their own poor and happy days, her husband fell ill, the doctor said the disease can go at any time, her husband came back paralyzed, and within a few days even drink water also struggled, she wanted to take him to see a doctor, he did not go, he said that before leaving, he as long as she promised him the request, die in peace. After you leave, you take good care of the children, are not allowed to remarry, and the marriage owing to the sister and brother's family tens of thousands of dollars to pay back.

  

  She looked at him quietly but did not say anything. Afterward, many people did not understand why he did not agree to his last request. She said, I simply could not do it. Just financially speaking, my monthly salary is just over 300 yuan, and I have children, their own money is not enough. Besides, all that money is owed before the marriage, before the marriage knew his family's economy is not good, so it is subsidized. As for marrying someone, it's not something you can say now, if you meet the right person, who knows what the outcome will be?

  

  She said that at the critical time you will know a person's true heart, whether he thinks about you, whether he cares for you, and loves you. Many times people still have to learn to love themselves. She said: The man didn't end up dying, the disease was misdiagnosed.

  

  She said the second thing, she or her story. She was sick, she wanted to go to the doctor, he said what to see, go to the drugstore to buy some medicine to eat. Dragged on for several days, really can not, she gave the child to her mother-in-law a person went to the county hospital.

  

  The doctor said: "Where is your family?"

  

  "A minor problem just came alone," she said.

  

  "Minor problem? Are you a doctor? You need to do a test, it will be very painful, we dare not do it without your family."

  

  She called him and he said, "So many things. But still, here it comes.

  

  She said life is like that, no one loves you, and you have to learn to love yourself. Sometimes loving yourself is responsible for a family.

  

  Those were her words. I have been listening, I know she is talking about herself, she always likes to laugh, heartless laugh, tell stories, she is also laughing, sometimes will be a serious sigh, turn the eyes and laugh again. She said: life is already tired enough, why I do not laugh, cry also a day, laugh also a day, to be worthy of themselves.

  

  Her cell phone rang, she said it was time to go back, rushed. Say go, simply take the door and leave.

  

  My husband said: she told the story like a movie, the complex is quite interesting.

  

  Life is not like a movie. Everyone is an actor, each movie will be its plot, sweet and sour, only you can experience. Listeners also listened, watchers also watched, experienced, are inseparable from their drama.
