The picture comes from the internet.
My mother-in-law's departure brought great pain to our whole family, especially my father-in-law, who sat alone all day, smoking a cigarette. In fact, we fully understand that as the saying goes, the old couple could have lived happily together without children, but all this is impossible. We discussed taking my father-in-law with us to make him forget some pain in a lively and happy environment. We really couldn't bear to leave him alone in our hometown. However, no matter how hard we tried to persuade him, my father-in-law refused. He said he would stay here. This is his home. It's enough for us to go home and see him on holiday. We tried to persuade again but failed, so for work reasons, we had to go back to work first and slowly think about the follow-up persuasion. Maybe the old man needs some time to think quietly.
Great changes have taken place in the countryside now. He likes playing erhu. In the evening, many old people dance square dance. The old man used to play erhu. He used to be a very active person, but now he doesn't know when he will recover. We're worried. One day, my elder sister called and said that the old man seemed to be close to an aunt recently. Originally, I thought people were afraid of his loneliness. I'll talk to him for a while under sympathy, and it doesn't hurt to enlighten him. However, the result is beyond our imagination. The old man actually wanted to live with this aunt and proposed to get a marriage certificate. This is another bolt from the blue, and my husband is dizzy. It's only been two months, and when it comes to marriage, it's catching up with young people's flash marriage. I feel a little unacceptable, too. Let's go home together and do ideological work for him.
After understanding, my aunt is also an old man who lost his independence. Her husband has been dead for several years. After a long time, I don't want to look for it anymore. I just feel lonely as I get older, and it's hard. By chance, after being introduced, I came to the square to listen to the old man's erhu music, and the more I listened, the more sad I became. I got here today without a chat later. My father-in-law really looks much better than before. We all hesitated, in fact, we also know that we are not around at ordinary times. It's really good to have someone to accompany him to take care of him, eat together and take a walk together. It's just that my mother-in-law died not long ago, so it's a bit hasty to get a marriage certificate at once. Moreover, there is actually no marriage certificate at this age, which is completely no problem for us. Later, after discussion, it was decided that it was acceptable for them to get along together first, but the marriage certificate was put aside for the time being and we haven't recovered yet. I hope the old couple understand. That aunt is quite reasonable. I hope that in the future, they can stay together and go to the end happily. It's just that the marriage certificate has always been a heart disease in my family!
