It's Sunday. Every Sunday my family tend to be events divided into two halves. I stay at home accompanying the junior student son, while my wife will go to take care of the senior student daughter. We're busy now, but we are fulfilling. In a few years, they two will go on their separate ways, and we two will have to be on our own.
“我在农村长大,14岁到城里来的,我想开阔眼界。当时我的全部家当就是一只行李箱,还有我的勇气。我父母想阻止我,我妈妈找到我买好的汽车票,把它撕得粉碎。但我告诉她我不会放弃的,最后我爸载我去了车站。一开始我在人家家里做女佣人。我服务的一户人家是一家大报的所有者,他夫人帮我上了高中,然后我去读了大学,在那儿我遇到了我身旁这位帅锅。现在我在做点小生意,卖木薯粉。我甚至可以帮助到我在老家的父母了。但我得承认我又变得忙碌起来了。我想去别的国家生活。”

“I grew up in a rural area. I came to the city when I was fourteen. I wanted to expand my horizons. All I had was a suitcase and my courage. My parents tried to stop me. My mom found my first bus ticket and ripped it into pieces. But I told her that I wasn’t going to give up, and eventually my father drove me to the station. At first I worked as a maid in people’s houses. One of the people I worked for was the owner of a major newspaper, and his wife helped me go to high school. Then I went to college, where I met this handsome guy beside me. Now I run a small business selling tapioca. I’m even able to help support my parents back home. But I will admit that I’m getting restless again. I think I want to live in another country.”

I don't know why we have to go through a cycle of happy, anger, apologies, and everything goes back to normal every weekend. Maybe both of us are tired. He even said that he didn't feel appreciated by me, crazy[笑cry] But in the end, we understand each other now and it's okay. And I have to say, holding the baby is really therapeutic. She is the best little human in the world.
