#夏日生活打卡季#
I'm 75 years old, Ben Five.
My daughter has gone to work and has not yet started a family; My son is still in high school. I don't go to work anymore, I am at home every day, and I rarely interact with outsiders.
I don't contact people, and I don't really like people contacting me.
Every day is as plain as water.
But every day there is daily joy and gratitude.
When I think about it myself, I think it's strange.
Others often feel that day after day, they feel that life is very monotonous and boring.
I'm happy every day.
It's the simple things that make me happy all day.
It's not just talking, it's the joy of genuine satisfaction and happiness in your heart.
Life is simple and satisfying.
It's all simple happiness, and for me, happiness is also very simple.
The joy of being cared for
It rained overnight yesterday.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, although the rain was a little lighter, it still did not mean to stop. The weather forecast says it's raining all day today.
I woke up and sat on the couch and read.
Happy not having to make breakfast for me in the morning.
My husband also got up.
On a rainy day, he was going to send his son to school.
He was reluctant to let his son get wet in the rain, and his son didn't like to wear a poncho. Therefore, when it rains, my husband will take his son to school four times a day.
At half past six, my husband called and said that he was eating egg powder opposite. Let me go down, he's already ordered.
We both love to eat the egg powder from that house, and every time I want to finish the soup.
It's a bit expensive, a bowl of rice noodles costs 12 yuan, and two people are 24 yuan. It's almost time for my day's living expenses.
My husband knows that I am reluctant to eat myself, and he himself eats occasionally.
I'm happy that every time he eats, he remembers me and wants me to eat with him.
I didn't want to eat it, but I thought I couldn't brush off my husband's kindness. So I happily agreed.
I haven't been out for breakfast in a long time.
After breakfast, it was still drizzling outside.
He has free working hours, early and late.
So, he is not in a hurry.
The two men came out of the breakfast shop and walked to the car parked on the side of the road.
My husband said that I don't know if my daughter should be sent to work?
I said, call and ask, right?
I don't want my son to be in the rain, and I can't ignore my daughter.
The daughter said: I want to send it!
My husband opened the car door and invited me: Come up and sit down?
I felt funny, the two of us see each other every day, he sits alone in the car waiting for his daughter to come downstairs, and he invites me to get in the car for a ride, it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time.
In fact, there is nothing very important for two people to say when they are together, listen to songs together, and watch the people and cars coming and going on the road together. Together aimlessly, think of what to say.
Two people sat in the car, parked on the side of the road, and the feeling was still different.
Looking at the people and cars who are busy going to work, I can't help but sigh: I am really happy in my current life.
is also very satisfied, reminds me of when Dou Wentao was doing a show together, saying that he ate very simply, but every meal is what he likes to eat, and that feeling is as if he is already satisfied.
I can still remember his expression.
It's the ultimate satisfaction. There is no more desire.
I feel that way now, too.
That is, I originally had no requirements and no desires for life, but life gave me more gratitude and surprises.
Twenty minutes later, my daughter arrived late and was not surprised to see me sitting in the car.
I got out of the car, beckoned her to sit in the front, and told her that I had been waiting for her for a long time.
I said, I'm here with your dad. Otherwise, he would be too bored to wait.
The four of them are together every day, and they don't feel tired at all.
The joy of being needed
My husband spends almost all of his time at home except for work.
I don't go out to play cards, and I rarely go to parties.
His time was given to his family.
He likes to see me as soon as he gets home.
He likes to have me sitting next to him wherever he goes.
I am dependent on him, and he is attached to me.
We lay in bed and looked at our phones together, and sometimes he would share with me the novelties he had seen.
I was tired of looking at my phone, put down my phone, and the two of them lay quietly for a while without talking.
When I write, he will turn down the volume of his phone for fear of disturbing me.
So, with him, my heart is relaxed and content.
Being cared for is always the happiest thing.
When my daughter gets off work, as soon as she enters the door, she calls her mother at the door first. I'm going to come out of my room to greet you.
Every time I buy something delicious, I will call my mother.
I would sit in the living room, talk to her, listen to her, sometimes at work, sometimes with my own mood or complaints.
She is used to having us take care of her, and she is also a good child who is sensible.
I will often buy snacks for my brother and surprise my parents.
Other people's children don't like to live with their families, but our children feel like they want to live with us all the time.
I sometimes joke that we take too good care of them. That's why they don't want to leave us.
Every day at noon, the most important thing I do is to cook Chinese food for my son.
As soon as the son entered, he could see the prepared meal on the table and his mother sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
He was used to his mother being able to eat with him every day at noon and listen to him.
Some people say that sitting next to your mother for half an hour is equivalent to seeing a psychiatrist 6 times.
I want to give my children a sense of security and happiness.
I hope they are healthy and happy every day.
It is also a joy to be needed.
The joy of being alone at home
During the day, when the school goes to school, the person who goes to work goes to work, and I am the only one left at home.
The most important thing I do at home is to do the laundry and dry the clothes.
Sometimes, the husband washes and hangs the clothes at night. Sometimes, my son comes home late from school and can't do laundry at night.
He often sent a message around 9:30 a.m. to remind me that my clothes were washed and that it was time to dry.
I often forget that I did my laundry in the washing machine.
Sometimes when he reminds me, I've already done it.
Yesterday, he was too lazy to type, sent me the message he sent a few days ago, a screenshot, washed the clothes and circled them with a red pen, and reminded me to dry my clothes.
I also went directly to the picture and took a picture of the empty washing machine to show him, without speaking. Meaning, look! It's already aired!
I enjoy being alone at home.
I put the most important things of the day to do when I'm alone at home.
For example, updating articles, such as memorizing poems.
There are benefits every day, and it also shows me the meaning of perseverance.
Having time to read books every day makes me no longer impetuous, anxious and complaining.
In life, there is much more to gain than to lose.
There are many more happy things than unsatisfactory things.
Every little thing, every care, every care, makes me feel happy and happy.
Every day's harvest and every day's gains also make me look forward to and delight every day.
Shallow joy, quiet love, although life is very plain, but every day has a different gratitude and joy.
