In the past sixty-three years, Lin Sumei has become a woman who is "sensible and knowledgeable" in the eyes of everyone.
For the sake of her family, she quit her job, washed her hands and made soup; for her husband, she endured all complaints and silently cleaned up the mess; for her children, she gave everything she had to subsidize the mortgage and take care of her grandchildren; for her brothers and sisters, she gave in in everything and never cared about gains and losses.
But her sensibleness cannot be exchanged for a word of sincere distress; her accommodation cannot be exchanged for any equal treatment. It wasn't until she got sick and an unintentional perfunctory sentence that she completely realized: If you wrong yourself, you can't buy a happy life.
At the age of sixty-three, she learned to be "selfish" for the first time: she went to Yunnan alone to see Erhai Lake, she learned to use her mobile phone to buy tickets and book hotels, she no longer walked around the stove, and she no longer looked at anyone's face.
She accompanies her unemployed daughter to regain her confidence, watches her once careless husband slowly learn to be considerate, and bridges the gap with her brothers and sisters.
It turns out that happiness after middle age is never about forbearing and giving, but about adjusting your mentality and loving yourself.
All the shortcomings and shortcomings of the parents are just fireworks. For the rest of their lives, they will live only for themselves and live up to their time and themselves.
This is a practical guide for every elderly person who "want to go out but dare not"——
How to buy tickets, book rooms, check routes, deal with strangers, deal with physical discomfort, and how to calculate the best deal... The pitfalls Lin Sumei has stepped on, the skills she has learned, and the warmth she has gained are all hidden in the story. When you start loving yourself, the world turns around and loves you too.
Dedicated to all the women who hide the word "I" behind the word "we".
