That's because their scars have been worn away by years. Not in a hurry, but a story hidden in their footsteps.
Is there anyone around you who is in a hurry? There is such a person around me. Because she is warm and friendly, everyone calls her Sister Aileen.
We first met on the third day of our internship. Sister Irene smiled and asked me about my participation.
At that time, I thought this woman was middle-aged, but my colleague Xiaohua told me that she was 32 years old.
This surprised me. Why is my face covered with wrinkles at such a young age? Why is she always in a hurry, whether on holiday or after work normally? Why does WeChat always reply after twelve o'clock?
The reason for all this has to start with her family.
Although I have a stable job, I don't have the same life.
The 30-year-old sister Aileen has been arranged by her family, and now she has met her husband. After getting to know each other, they soon held hands, even in different cities, but more than an hour's drive did not become an obstacle for them.
Unfortunately, after marriage, all this has changed.
Sister Aileen is busy taking care of the children and in-laws every day. She undertakes all the housework alone, and even the decoration of the house is her own contact. Xiaohua couldn't help asking when she was so tired.
And this conversation also answered many of my questions.
"Did you do anything romantic at that time?"
"He comes back on weekends and sometimes comes back from work early to watch movies and cook."
"Why don't you let him come back to work? He is well educated and not afraid to find it? "
"He feels that his salary is too low and there is no development prospect."
"That you are now a person with children. He didn't fulfill his family responsibilities. Why not buy a car? "
"I don't have time to drive. He doesn't think it's necessary to come again a few times. "
"So you won't be tired in such a different place?"
"I am used to it."
Out of politeness, this conversation didn't talk much. But soon, what her husband did put Sister Aileen in a dilemma.
I don't know why, but my sister Aileen's son, who is less than one year old, has been admitted to the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea, and accompanied her mother-in-law with a stomachache day and night. Sister Irene has taken care of two patients alone, and her feelings are beyond description.
My father-in-law stood aside and didn't help, blaming sister Aileen.
"How do you take care of the children? It is not easy for my son to make money. If you are not so worried, how much will he spend? "
"Dad, take care of my mother for me. I will pay for the child's hospitalization. "
"Wife, it's up to me. Do it yourself? Just your salary of two or three thousand? "
Sister Aileen, who couldn't support herself, called her husband and asked him to transfer to work in Shenzhen. She finally came back after more than a week.
When we finally met, the first thing my husband said was, "I want to have another child, so that the child will be taken care of in the future."
At this time, their son is still in the hospital bed with an infusion bag or bottle. That's what the husband who can't do anything is like, but he doesn't care if she is too hard.
Angry sister Aileen shouted, "I will never have a second child after I die." I must take care of myself. After the birth of the child, I take care of the child to eat and bathe every day, and also wash the clothes of my family and do housework. What did you do? Give birth to yourself! "
The husband who was angered by Aileen's attitude slapped Aileen several times and returned to Shenzhen that night.
After more than half a month's tossing, my son's pneumonia and her mother-in-law's stomach trouble finally eased.
Sister Aileen, who returned to work, burst into tears in the dormitory.
We were very worried and asked, "Did your husband bully you?" .
She said, "No, my mother-in-law said she didn't want to help her with the children. Taking care of the children made her sick. She is going on a trip. Then leave the child at home and ask me to go back and take care of it. How can I go to work? "
"Your life now almost revolves around children and in-laws," Xiaohua said anxiously.
"If you want to be beautiful, I only spend money for my son. My son spends money on my own. I never give it to their son, lest I say that I spent his money."
"Then your husband won't come back to take care of it?"
"The progress of the project in Shenzhen is inseparable from the focus of work."
"How can that man not get sick?"
"Bear with me again, and when the children go to kindergarten, I won't be so miserable."
I asked curiously, "Why don't Aileen's parents help take care of it?"
Sister Aileen replied, "I have a big brother and two sons, and they can't take care of them." How should I manage this? " "
Adults' marriages are generally difficult in one way or another, whether for children or for families.
Looking at sister Aileen walking alone, I can't help feeling a little distressed.
"Off duty"
"I walked first! See you tomorrow! "
Watching Aileen's sister rush home, I realized that most people still can't afford the consequences of divorce, and unhappy marriages can only muddle along.
I picked up the file on the desktop and saw the note left by sister Aileen. "Xiao Hu, help me tidy up this file. I have something at home tomorrow. " "
At this time, I didn't complain too much, so I stayed and continued to finish the work.
In the following days, I still try my best to finish my work.
And sister Aileen is still walking alone in a hurry, day after day.
