When I saw this theme, I suddenly had an impulse to write about my most extraordinary marriage life. Most of them are embarrassing. Fortunately, I am optimistic by nature. Even at the bottom, I didn't forget to smile hard.
I am a college student who got married naked in the countryside.
Every time people around me ask me what I do, I say, I work in the media, and you may not know. Generally speaking, I am an online writer.
Many times, they don't believe it, because they will wonder why a college student, or a college student who can write, wants to marry and live such a "poor" life in the countryside.
Sometimes, I don't understand why I can stay in the countryside for three years so willingly. At the beginning, I said to myself, "It's because of love."
After marrying Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang was very poor. He has no house or car. He has only four bungalows in the country. We got married in that house, and it became our new home.
After marriage, we worked hard together in Beijing. Many people like Beijing. In college, I always regarded Beijing as my favorite place. However, when I really lived in Beijing for five years, I found that I couldn't love it. I have despised myself countless times because I can't fall in love with such a big city. Just like now, I already know how many people will scold me for not making progress when I write these words.
After living in Beijing for five years, even with my husband's company, I can't resist my inner desire to escape. I can't afford to buy a house there, I have no relatives there, and I can't find the world I want there.
You may not imagine that when I was crowded in the crowded subway, I felt carsick and wanted to faint. What popped out of my mind was Tao Yuanming's poem: "No vulgar rhyme, love autumn mountains."
I don't like the fast-paced life in big cities by nature. Just like I don't like peony, the king of flowers. I like those unknown wild flowers and weeds.
Countless young people poured into Beijing. They live in Xiaotian, just as I once lived. They have my troubles, but they never give up their dreams.
But what if my dream is small and I just want to have a "relatively stable" life?
When Mr. Wang showed me four bungalows in the countryside, he was very uneasy. He was afraid that I would turn away when I saw it. After all, too much love is lost to reality. I looked around there and liked it very much. The house is surrounded by a large forest, and there is a wide river 100 meters away.
I looked at my husband and said, "I like buttonwood. You plant buttonwood, I will marry you. "
Mr. Wang is beaming. He said: "The most important thing in our family is the phoenix tree. I'll plant it for you right away. "
You see, I am the kind of girl who has no big ambitions. In my eyes, those RVs and money can't compare with those two buttonwood trees and a man who really loves you.
However, love has to face the reality after all, which is why I advised all girls to be cautious when I wrote emotional stories later. Because it takes time and effort for a naked married woman to live a good life. And many times, the years you want are calm and beautiful, and you need financial support.
At that time, I didn't know what self-media was. I can stay in Xiaotian and earn some money by writing, but my husband studies design, so I can't find a job in rural areas or small cities.
And this is also part of the truth that I later learned to escape from Beishangguang. Many people don't want to go back to the countryside or small towns, but come back. They have no more job opportunities.
Even now, most men in my countryside go out to work to earn money. They don't go home all the year round, and they are willing to come back once in the New Year.
After marriage, the second year we worked hard in Beijing, I was pregnant. I wanted to stick to my job, but my husband began to worry: "What should I do if I squeeze the subway bus?" What should you do if you touch the computer all day? What should I do if I get carsick and faint? "
Facing the arrival of the children, we were at a loss. Finally, I had to resign and raise a baby in a rented house. The morning sickness was so severe that even my husband couldn't work well in the end. He resigned as soon as he was promoted to manager. We are in Beijing. Two young people have been pregnant for three months. No one will make money. Every day they just spit in the dark, cook, take care of each other and face my emotional breakdown.
After three months, I finally stopped vomiting, but I have lost less than 80 pounds. At that time, it suddenly dawned on me that we couldn't afford it in a big city like Beijing. I let my husband go to work by himself. I stayed at my parents' home for a few months, and then I went back to our four bungalows.
I lived in that house for three years. My mother-in-law stayed with me there for three years. In fact, their home is very close to ours, but my mother-in-law still chooses to accompany me every night because I am afraid of living alone.
In those three years, my husband and I were in different places. In those three years, we were short of money, but I never lacked love. For three years, my husband came back to see me and my children once a month with great perseverance. Every time I come back, he will help me with the housework. Before he leaves, he must clean all the floors in the house.
For three years, we video almost every day. He endured all my bad temper and all his lovesickness for his wife and children.
For three years, I have hardly cooked by myself and have been eating with my in-laws. After the children were older, I started to engage in self-media and wrote various rural stories at home every day. My mother-in-law helps me with my children.
In those three years, I was in a mess most of the time. I didn't wear a few nice clothes and went out to eat a few big meals. Fortunately, when I got married, my in-laws bought me a large row of bookshelves, which were full of books, so I plunged into it. In those three years, reading books every day was my normal state. I wrote a lot of book reviews and texts, and finally got a place in the media.
I started to earn money, and my husband worked hard in Beijing. In the fourth year of marriage, we had money to buy a house and a car. We could have bought it in the city, but my husband loved home, and I was full of attachment to the countryside where I lived for three years, so we chose a town not far from home.
This is our life now. My husband resigned and went home to start working in the media. We live quietly with our children in this small town every day. Every weekend, we will take our children home to see his grandparents, and I will walk around looking for some stories about the countryside.
People also asked me, "Why did you marry in the countryside and stay in such a small place?"
I won't say it's because of love, I will, because I have the right to choose the life I want. You can also engage in your favorite career in a small town.
When I went to Chengdu to attend the summit of Baidu this month, a friend said, "If it weren't for the media, how could these little people in rural areas have a chance to turn over?"
"Yes, because of the media, we little people in rural areas really have their own stage and life. We don't have to leave home, we can protect our families and fight for our own career. "
