I always hear many girls around me say that we should work hard to make money now, and then we can be single for life.
The sentence in the American drama "Bankrupt Sisters": "I want to succeed, and then I will be lonely until I am old." It was once regarded as a famous saying by friends around me.
Is it really happy not to get married all your life? You're just avoiding the hardships of life.
Xiaomei used to be a person who sneered at marriage. She thinks that it is the most clumsy behavior for a woman to lock herself in marriage and be trapped in family chores and children.
Life is so long and beautiful, why not go and see the beautiful scenery outside? Be sure to limit your life to the siege of two people.
It was not until her parents suddenly fell ill one after another that she suddenly realized what marriage meant to a woman.
Xiaomei is a knowledgeable woman. After graduating from college, she worked in a fortune 500 foreign company. She contacts high-end people, often goes abroad and has a very high quality of life.
Ma Mei has been working in this company since she graduated from college until she was 40 years old. Her outstanding work performance has made her status higher and higher, and she has less and less time to go home to visit her parents. When it comes to dating, she has no brains.
She has always felt that work is the confidence that she can really rely on for a lifetime compared with emotional uncertainty.
Xiaomei is so excellent that no one has introduced her to a fake person. She has been on blind dates several times herself. But because she is particularly excellent, she despises men with ordinary conditions. She prefers to find someone who can blend in with her spirit and soul.
After several searches, the blind date objects are all the types she doesn't like. Later, she simply got tired of falling in love and gradually forgot about it.
Parents often call to urge her, especially during the Chinese New Year, and she is inevitably forced to get married by seven aunts and eight aunts.
However, she is particularly determined about her current single life, so she hit the floor with her speech. After the age of 35, her parents, friends and relatives stopped urging her to get married and have children.
An accident happened, which changed her 360 degrees. She suddenly understood what marriage meant to her.
This is an ordinary day. Xiaomei didn't go home until 1 1 and was about to go to bed. Suddenly, her cell phone rang in a hurry.
A strange number flashed on the screen of the mobile phone, and her heart suddenly became uneasy and she took the mobile phone.
The other party told her that she was a doctor in a hospital. Her parents ate unclean food and got food poisoning. Fortunately, they were discovered by their neighbors in time and then taken to the hospital, saving their lives.
Once death is so far away, she feels that her parents are still alive and death is out of reach. I suddenly heard that my parents were in hospital, only to know that it was my parents who stood in front of death.
Xiaomei, who is almost 40 years old, was hospitalized for the first time and took care of her parents for so long. She saw that some patients were taken care of by their own children, and some patients were taken care of by their own lovers. Although they are all tortured by illness, they are all very painful. However, because their relatives always accompany them to take care of them, they will also have a happy smile on their faces.
Xiaomei takes care of her parents alone in the hospital. Although she is tired, fortunately, her parents' illness is relatively mild and she is busy.
The doctor also took special care of them, letting their parents live in the same ward, saving her from running back and forth between the two wards.
Seeing these sick people, parents in hospital beds and lovers who take care of patients, Ma Mei suddenly understood the meaning of marriage to a person.
When I was young, marriage seemed to be a yoke and burden for young people, because women spent too much time at home.
But when we get older and weaker, who will take care of us when we are sick and hospitalized?
She suddenly panicked when she thought that she would be alone in the hospital and no one would take care of her. She decided to put marriage on the agenda after her parents were discharged from the hospital.
Nowadays, more and more people really think that marriage is our shackles, so many women would rather work hard in the workplace than get married.
In marriage, because of pregnancy and childbirth, because of the natural connection between mother and child, women pay more for the family than men.
Just like Xiaomei, she never thought about what marriage means to her. Just like young us, we never thought about what marriage means to us.
What is marriage to us? It is the responsibility and responsibility when you are young, and it is also the care and companionship when you are old. No one can live like an island, and the ease of youth will become No Country for Old Men in the future.
This is why our elderly parents urged us to get married. If I leave, there will be people around you who will continue to accompany you. If you are ill, he will be taken care of. My parents' life will be complete.
