　　The Qixi Festival in 2021 is nothing special for the 88-year-old Cai Bo and the 90-year-old Aunt Liu from Songhe Nursing Home in Guangzhou.

In nursing homes, they follow each other and go in pairs every day.

Accompaniment, companionship, and mutual affection every day are already the norm for them.

　　But when the reporter asked about their love story, the old couple told a funny story that made people laugh.

A bowl of wonton noodles is their wedding feast. These incredible stories in the eyes of modern people are the beginning of their married life. Since then, they have been with each other for more than 60 years.

　　At the end of the interview, Bo Cai expressed his hope for the future: "I hope to support each other with my wife and cherish every day together. I also hope that the new generation will grow up and help me see the development of society."

　　The bride and groom are still busy with work on the wedding day

　　The encounter between Bo Cai and Aunt Liu was destined by God.

When they were young, they were not in the same place. Later, they were transferred to Fangcun, Guangzhou to be cadres by their respective units before they met each other.

　　"He is bright and smart, willing to do things, knows how to be considerate and caring for others, and has no bad habits." After most of his life together, Aunt Liu gave Cai Bo a consistently high evaluation.

And Cai Bo's evaluation of Aunt Liu is also 100 points: "She is warm and kind, and good in all aspects!" In this way, the two of them admired each other and entered the marriage palace after 6 years of acquaintance.

　　However, talking about the wedding of the two is a little bit ridiculous.

On the day of the wedding, Aunt Cai Bo Liu was still busy working.

Aunt Liu didn't think of it until her colleague reminded her.

After she got off work, she hurried home to change clothes. The mother was too late to eat the food, so she picked up her luggage, got on a colleague's bicycle, and went to the groom's home, a 12-square-meter dormitory.

　　"At that time, I took a quilt, two pillows, a set of clothes, and a pair of shoes and ran over. When I got there, he hadn't got off work and no one was seen." In this newly married home, there were only two. A wooden chair, a desk, a bed board, not even a mat.

　　Before she had time to think about it, Aunt Liu immediately rushed to attend the collective wedding ceremony held by Cai Bo's unit.

"I was very impressed. There were more than 200 people attending the ceremony, and the witness was the leader of the unit."

　　"My mother always told me later that it was the cheapest to marry a daughter by herself, and it only cost a dime." This dime is the travel expenses for Aunt Liu's mother to attend the wedding. She helped her daughter make customized quilts. Take it over.

　　It's worthy of being a neighborhood in Guangzhou, and you can't forget "eat" in the full of memories.

After the wedding, Aunt Liu said: "I haven't eaten yet." Cai Bo said: "I haven't eaten yet, then I'll take you to eat a bowl of wonton noodles." That's it, a bowl of wonton noodles. , Opened their married life for more than sixty years.

　　Cai Bo, who was cheerful, saw the phone used to take pictures in the reporter's hand and said regretfully: "It was very difficult to take photos at the time, so no commemorative photos were left." Re-shooting!" Aunt Liu interjected unceremoniously.

　　The secret to having no quarrel for more than 60 years is "do it by yourself"?

　　In Songhe Nursing Home in Guangzhou, people often see that Cai Bo and Aunt Liu are in pairs, and they are almost always together wherever they go.

But what they didn't know was that the old couple had never quarreled after they had been married for more than 60 years.

　　Caring for each other, accommodating each other, and communicating in time when there is a disagreement, this seems to be the secret of a happy marriage, but how easy is it to do?

　　The careful Miss Songhe Nursing Home found a detail in the wardrobe of the old couple.

Although the old couple lived in the same room and washed clothes together, they folded their own clothes and put them in their respective cabinets.

"I guess, maybe it is this unique way of getting along that keeps them loving marriage? Because there is space for each other and they can tolerate each other."

　　In the eyes of Cai Bo, who loves his wife, "I have to do my own work."

But sorting out the old photos of the two people is not at all ambiguous.

The old couple took a few large albums and stayed in Songhe Nursing Home.

Every album is a precious memory of their youth.

Each photo was carefully labeled by Bo Cai, with the time and place written on it.

　　"Every time I see an old couple talking about previous stories while flipping through the photos, young people like us are particularly envious." said the caregiver.

　　Since moving in 2019, Aunt Cai Bo Liu has been moving in for two years.

Recently, they are also discussing their plans to spend their old age in Songhe Nursing Home, and live there until they are a hundred years old.

"My children are busy with work, and the burden of taking care of us is heavier. We are old and unable to buy food and cook by ourselves. Living here, we don’t have to clean up the house every day, and we don’t have to worry about cooking. More importantly, we all have our own ways. friend."

　　Cai Bo has three good friends in Songhe Nursing Home, and they often talk about things together.

"If someone blows water together, he is very happy." Speaking of this little hobby of her husband, Aunt Liu couldn't help but laugh.

　　The staff of Songhe Nursing Home told reporters that even though Aunt Cai Bo Liu is nearly 90 years old, she is still in good health. Before the epidemic, the two often went out of the nursing home to go to the market, buy fruits, and exercise together to maintain a healthy and regular life rhythm.

Now the nursing home is closed for management, but the old couple also live each day with peace of mind.

　　"I just want to live a hundred years, and it is true when people are old. I hope that the new generation will grow up and help me see the development of society." Cai Bo said.
