In 2019, Zhang Weifang was already 76 years old, but she was still in good health and in good spirits. Lu Shi was also 75 years old and had always been in good health.
Hu Zi and An An both wanted to hold a big birthday party for her so that she could enjoy this festive moment, but she directly refused.
"You two kids, I'm still young now. Let's wait until I'm 90 to celebrate my birthday." Zhang Weifang said with a smile.
Hu Zi and An An looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They knew that their mother had always been frugal and didn't like extravagance, so she rejected their proposal.
However, they still decided to give her a surprise, so they secretly prepared a small cake and bought a bouquet of flowers for their mother.
When Zhang Weifang saw these gifts, her eyes became moist. Although she said she didn't want them, she was still very touched.
When people get older, their hearts become particularly soft, and Zhang Weifang is the same. She now feels like she is wrapped in honey, sweet and greasy.
Now she cares more about her physical health and family harmony. Her children are also filial, so she lives a happy life.
Lu Shi has been loving her the same way for fifty years. He would make her a bowl of longevity noodles every year on her birthday, which was also the gift she was most satisfied with.
Last year was the golden wedding anniversary of Zhang Weifang and Lu Shi. The two had been together for fifty years, from their youth to their old age. They had experienced countless ups and downs together and witnessed every important moment in each other's lives.
Over the past fifty years, they have supported each other, walked through the ups and downs of life hand in hand, and protected each other with love and patience.
Today, they are in their seventies, but their feelings are still as strong as before, which makes people sigh at the beauty and tenacity of time.
Lu Shi never said love, but his actions always expressed his love. Every detail revealed his care and love for her, which made Zhang Weifang feel endless warmth.
In the early morning, when the sunlight shines into the room through the curtains, Lu Shi has already prepared breakfast and will also considerately help Zhang Weifang prepare the items needed for the day.
Before going out, he would always carefully tidy Zhang Weifang's clothes, gently stroke her hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
Although Lu Shi was busy at work, he always took time to call Zhang Weifang to ask about her situation and whether she had eaten and rested well.
While at work, he would even sneak out to have lunch with her just to see her. At night, no matter how late he got home, Lu Shi would leave a light on for Zhang Weifang.
When she walked into the house, she would always be greeted by Lu Shi's warm embrace and caring greetings. Then, they would sit on the sofa together to share the fun of the day, or watch a movie to relax.
Zhang Weifang often sighs that she is so lucky to have met such a perfect man.
Lu Shi used his actions to tell her: "I love you." There was no need to say the three words, because he had already proved everything with his actions.
When Zhang Weifang and Lu Shi got married, they did not hold a wedding due to the historical context.
Therefore, when they reached their golden wedding anniversary, An An and Hu Zi decided to make up for this regret. They specially rented beautiful wedding dresses and suits, and took their parents to take a set of romantic wedding photos.
Wedding photos with gray hair are a kind of commemoration and another kind of romance in life.
Zhang Weifang's birthday is in the second month of the lunar calendar. After his birthday, the weather started to warm up, the grass on the roadside began to turn green, and the peach blossoms in the park also quietly bloomed.
In the past, Zhang Weifang always thought that peach blossoms only have one color - pink, but now she is surprised to find that peach blossoms also come in white and red. She can't help but sigh at her shallow knowledge.
Among them, the red peach blossoms caught her eyes the most. Each flower seemed to be carefully carved. The petals were as red as blood and fire, gorgeous and tempting, and the stamens were as yellow as shining gold powder, giving people a feeling of nobility and elegance.
The red peach blossoms seem to attract people's attention more than any other colors. They sway gracefully in the wind, like girls in red dancing, which is extremely beautiful.
There were also little girls who secretly picked a peach blossom and pinned it behind their ears. The pink petals contrasted beautifully with their delicate skin, making their faces and the peach blossoms look even more rosy. It was true that people were more beautiful than flowers, and flowers were as beautiful as people!
Zhang Weifang and Lu Shi had just returned from the park when they ran into Zhang Lingling and her husband at the entrance of the community. They exchanged a few words and then parted ways.
When Zhang Weifang returned home, she suddenly thought of Zhang Lingling, who was 32 years old and still had no children. She felt a little worried. How could she not have children in her first marriage and also in her second marriage?
Zhang Lingling now weighs more than 120 pounds. I don’t know if being too fat affects her fertility.
Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still, but she couldn't ask Zhang Weicun directly, so she took the time to find Maotu and quietly asked about the details.
Mao Tu told her that Zhang Lingling and her husband decided to be DINKs and they had no intention of having children. They both felt that having children would be too stressful, and if the children were not filial in the future, it would be a waste of their time to raise them.
After Zhang Weifang knew the real situation, she didn't say anything else. It was everyone's freedom to have children or not, as long as the couple was willing.
Maotu has become much calmer now, probably because of his age, and he is not so impatient in his words and deeds.
Especially now that Zhang Lingling has grown up and treats her well, she can no longer use force like she did when she was a child.
After Mao Tu came back from her hometown, perhaps because she felt guilty or perhaps because she wanted to keep a low profile, she rarely goes out and stays at home as a housewife every day.
Zhang Weicun was just the opposite of her. He started to become arrogant and spent every day in the mahjong hall, spending money like water. He didn't care about winning or losing when playing cards. No one knew where he got the confidence from.
Zhang Weiren used to love playing mahjong, but since he had the surgery, he doesn't like to go out anymore, mainly because his body can hardly support him to walk long distances.
Now Zhang Weiren has a nanny to take care of him. He eats well and sleeps well every day. His complexion is getting better and better, and he has gained a lot of weight.
He has now figured it out. His mission is to take good care of himself in his old age. He doesn't care about anything else.
Lying in bed at night, Zhang Weiren still feels lonely, but Zhang Nailin calls him every day so that his life will not be too lonely.
In recent days, Zhang Weiren has become addicted to watching live broadcasts online. He feels very lively watching others singing and dancing.
Every time he opens the live broadcast room, Zhang Weiren is attracted by the energetic and enthusiastic anchors.
Some of them sang beautifully, some danced gracefully, and some told humorous jokes that made the audience laugh.
These wonderful performances immersed Zhang Weiren in them and made him forget all his worries and pressures.
