Some people say, "Love is virtual, but marriage is real." Peng Zhihong, 77, and Wan Xianzhi, 74, understand this deeply. January 10 this year is their golden wedding anniversary. On this day 50 years ago, they received their marriage certificate and started a family together. Since then, they have supported each other through thick and thin. Along the way, the "golden married couple" summarized their Chinese-style love with a few keywords: lead by example, discuss together, endure hardships with joy, be tolerant and harmonious.
Peng Zhihong and Wan Xianzhi have been a model couple for 50 years.
A city girl and a rural boy have an eye for each other.
Peng Zhihong worked at the Jiujiang Port Authority in Jiangxi Province. After being introduced by a colleague, he met Wan Xianzhi from the textile factory. When they met for the first time, the first thing Peng Zhihong said to Wan Xianzhi was: "I am from the countryside." Wan Xianzhi, who grew up in the city, felt that the young man in front of him was very simple and honest, so he said to Peng Zhihong: "My hometown He is also from the countryside." Peng Zhihong felt that Wan Xianzhi was "a nice person." The two fell in love with each other and after dating for more than a year, Peng Zhihong reported her marriage to her work unit.
Getting married at that time was very simple. Our work unit allocated a 13.4-square-meter welfare room (there was also a kitchen shared by three families), and we asked two colleagues to help paint it and install a light bulb, and we got married. Life after marriage is both sweet and hard. Peng Zhihong has to work at night and rarely goes home at night. The day after her eldest son was born, Peng Zhihong went on a business trip. The wife has to work and take care of the children. As a last resort, I had to transfer to the printing factory to work the day shift. The eldest son was 56 days old and stayed with his mother in the factory every day. Because the living conditions of her parents-in-law were difficult and they still had five children to raise, Wan Xianzhi worked in a printing factory during the day and did odd jobs in a private printing factory at night to support her family for ten years. At that time, I was riding a bicycle. After get off work, I often didn’t get home until 12 o’clock at night or even 2 o’clock in the morning. Sometimes it rained heavily and I couldn’t find the direction of my home.
Everyone praised them as a model couple.
Although it was very hard, Wan Xianzhi never regretted marrying this "rural man". Over the past 50 years, the two have been busy with work and housework, without complaining and rarely having conflicts. Neighbors and colleagues around them praised the couple for their good relationship and that they were a model couple. As for the secret to getting along, the two agreed that if they encounter any problems, they should discuss them together and overcome them together.
Peng Zhihong has always given all his salary to his wife, and his wife has never hesitated to use their income to support the big family and support his younger brothers and sisters. Wan Xianzhi said: "We are all one family. If the family has difficulties, we have to stand up and bear the responsibility anyway. It is impossible not to bear the burden." Her dedication has been highly praised by her family, especially her father-in-law.
There was not much money at that time, so you had to discuss it in advance and use it sparingly. Wan Xianzhi planned her daily expenses carefully and never borrowed money from outside. Once she ran out of money, she rummaged through the boxes and found 9 cents and used it to buy groceries. The couple worked diligently and thriftily, and their lives gradually improved. They gradually added electric fans, televisions, refrigerators, etc. to their home.
Buying a house has become the most difficult thing they have encountered in so many years. In 1998, when their two sons were old and wanted to start a family and start a business, the couple discussed buying a house. Since they had no savings, they could only borrow from relatives and friends. They saved a little every month and paid it back. The two houses cost 40,000 yuan and they could be paid back in two years. It's over.
Take good care of the whole family by setting an example
After all the hardships, the two sons of Peng Zhihong and Wan Xianzhi are very competitive and filial, and the whole family lives in harmony and happiness.
After his son got married, Wan Xianzhi helped raise his grandson in Changsha. She understands that her son and daughter-in-law's work life is not easy, and is not afraid of hard work. She keeps her grandson with her 24 hours a day to reduce the burden on her son and daughter-in-law. Wan Xianzhi is a very easy-going person. He has lived with his eldest daughter-in-law for more than 20 years and has been with his younger daughter-in-law for more than 10 years. He has never blushed. Wan Xianzhi believes: "Living with young people, the elderly should not be stubborn and arrogant, so that the family can be harmonious."
The eldest daughter-in-law praised: "My mother-in-law is capable and a good person, and she takes good care of the whole family! My father-in-law is also hard-working, Be sensible."
How to run a family well? Peng Zhihong concluded, “You must lead by example. If you don’t lead by example, you are not qualified to educate the younger generations.My husband and I don't play cards or mahjong. We work hard and shoulder responsibilities bravely. Our sons see this and they also work hard and strive for success. "Be strict with your son, be tolerant with your daughter-in-law, and take care of your grandson. Once these three problems are solved, the whole family will be more harmonious." "
In order to celebrate the golden wedding, relatives and friends collected the photos of the couple over the years and put them in a large photo frame. In the photos, the couple was smiling and leaning on each other from young to old. After 50 years of mutual support, they Use the most lasting companionship to make the longest confession of love.
