Let love wait for marriage to grow old

The old neighbor couple is a pair of empty nesters in their 70s. The old couple gave birth to a daughter. When the daughter grew up, she went to study abroad and stayed there to work. However, unlike other empty-nest elders, this pair of elders does not have an empty nest, because they are always accompanied by love, and the two of them lived harmoniously, happily and happily in their later years.

​​

It is said that they have gone through all kinds of ups and downs to be able to walk together. When they were young, they actively responded to the call of the state and went to the Great Northern Wilderness to exercise. In the vast world, they met and fell in love. She is beautiful, kind, lively and cheerful, gentle and pleasant, and he is gentle and stubborn. However, their love for each other was opposed by the organization because of her parents' problems. Because he is literate and well behaved, the organization intends to recommend him to go to college, but the only condition put forward is to give up his love with her. After much consideration, he chose love and gave up his bright future. Every day, he went up to the mountains to cut wood and work in the fields with her.

​​

I stayed in the Great Northern Wilderness for 3 years. After returning to the city, he proposed to her, and she readily agreed. After a simple wedding, the two moved the bedding and lived together.

​​

something unexpected may happen any time. Just when their daughter was 6 years old, he lost a leg due to a fire on the factory floor, burns to his face and an infection of the wound. After being treated in the hospital for 4 months, he was lying on the bed, looking at his ugly face and mutilated legs in the mirror, and his heart was broken. In order not to drag her and her daughter down, he asked her for a divorce. But she, who has always been weak, was very firm this time. Whether he went on hunger strike, committed suicide, or deliberately hurt her with words, she would not divorce her, but wiped away her tears and continued to take care of him.

​​

With her persistence and encouragement, after a period of torment, he finally got out of the haze. Because of his physical disability, he took medical leave, rented a small house facing the street, opened a small supermarket, and lived a dull life with his wife and daughter every day. After the storm, the family of three started a harmonious and happy life again.

​​

One day, when the family was gossiping and recalling the past, the daughter suddenly asked, "Mom and Dad, do you have any love? I heard from my aunt, before I was born, you had a wonderful love story?" The daughter's question made them stunned. . Looking at their daughter's childish face, they were amused and almost said in unison: "Of course we have love, and our love has blossomed and bear fruit. And the fruit of that love is you, you are the work of our love. , every stage of your growth is a wonderful movement of our love!" After listening to their words, the daughter clapped her hands happily and said, "I see, because of the waiting of love, our family can be so happy."

​​

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, their daughter has grown up. At the same time as their daughter started a family and established a business, they who stayed at home were slowly getting older. Although their lives are twilight, they still have a fresh love. He is romantic by nature, and on some special days, he will always send her a bouquet of flowers. Every time he took her into the flower shop, he personally picked a few roses or lilies from the flower bucket, carefully trimmed off the small thorns on the flower branches, prayed in his heart, and sent them to her. As for her holding flowers, at this time, she will show a shy smile like a girl who does not match her actual age.

​​

One day, I met them at the entrance of the corridor. Looking at her who had just returned from the flower shop holding flowers, she felt envious in her heart. I couldn't help but sigh: "Brothers and sisters, you are so romantic! I really envy you. After decades of baptism, your love is still timeless!" My words made him happy, and he laughed, He took out a rose from the bouquet and handed it to me: "Actually, it is not difficult to keep a marriage alive forever. Love needs to be expressed. As long as you are good at expressing it, your lover will return the same love to you. Mutual giving And giving is the preservative of marriage, learn to let love wait for your marriage, and your marriage will be less like first love."

​​

After savoring his words carefully, I finally understood the true meaning of love. Let love wait for marriage, so that marriage will not become the grave of love, and love will always love and be new.
