After all, since 1968 got married, the couple have experienced 52 years of ups and downs.

Zhao Zhongxiang spent most of his first half of his life tied to work.

So that two people got married for seven years before giving birth to a son.

My husband works in CCTV, and my wife Zhang Meizhu works in a radio station. They are in a hurry every day.

It was not until they retired that they really found themselves.

However, in the distant past, Zhao Zhongxiang, who was over sixty years old, could have waited quietly for retirement.

But the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind will not stop.

At the age of 62, Zhao Zhongxiang, who lived a totally clean life for the first half of her life, ushered in a turning point in her career.

At the end of April 2004, Rao Ying officially connected Zhao Zhongxiang with the Internet.

Prior to this, Zhao Zhongxiang was the number one host in the host industry.

Don't talk about the ambiguous relationship between women, even other negative news has never been seen before.

Rao Ying, on the other hand, roared loudly: Zhao Zhongxiang knows himself at 1996.

One is a successful host and the other is a clinical health care doctor.

It stands to reason that the strength of the two people is very different, and there will be no intersection at all.

The trend of things is, 1996, Rao Ying applied to work for CCTV, and was a health care doctor.

Two people work in the same unit every day,

And Rao Ying's department is likely to be visited by everyone in the unit.

So it's not surprising that she met Zhao Zhongxiang.

But they formally met after Rao Ying left CCTV in the second year.

It is unknown why she chose to leave her job that year.

Before leaving his job, Zhao Zhongxiang once gave his business card to Rao Ying by chance.

So, when Rao Ying asked about the fake headgear,

She felt that Zhao Zhongxiang was well connected, so she took the initiative to call Zhao Zhongxiang.

Headgear counseling officially opened the communication career of two people.

The two met three times in a row.

Subsequent meetings have nothing to do with previous consultations.

But Zhao Zhongxiang wants Rao Ying to give himself a cervical massage.

The first two meetings and treatments were normal.

Until the third meeting, the relationship between the two had a qualitative leap.

According to Rao Ying later revealed that more than a month later, she found herself pregnant.

According to Rao Ying, her subsequent relationship with Zhao Zhongxiang lasted for seven years.

This exposure was made public, and its impact on Zhao Zhongxiang's reputation was like a violent earthquake.

At first, Zhao Zhongxiang openly confronted the media.

At that time, Zhao Zhongxiang not only played against Rao Ying, but also considered the feelings of his wife Zhang Meizhu.

It's just that Rao Ying has been almost adamant about Zhao Zhongxiang in public opinion since he took the initiative to expose it.

First, she repeatedly said that she would not make peace with Zhao Zhongxiang.

Later, he repeatedly told the media that in his own hands,

There are not only recordings of contacts with Zhao Zhongxiang, but also evidence that Zhao Zhongxiang threatened himself.

Judging from the relevant evidence, there is no final and effective evidence chain.

Therefore, the relevant prosecution in Rao Ying was also rejected at the end of 10 that year.

As the prosecution was dismissed, Rao Ying was obviously unwilling.

She dropped the lawsuit in mid-June 1 1, and then sued Zhao Zhongxiang again on February 65438.

But the latter lawsuit was finally rejected by the court.

For more than a year, Rao Ying did not continue to appeal.

And during that time, Zhang Meizhu's strong support for her husband behind her back kept Zhao Zhongxiang going.

However, although Rao Ying failed to prosecute,

However, Zhao Zhongxiang's reputation over the years, with the development of the situation.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhongxiang is in his twilight years, so there is no need to worry about what the scandal will do to his career.

More importantly, his wife Zhang Meizhu has been silently supporting her husband since 2004.

Therefore, after Zhao Zhongxiang officially retired in 2009, his family became the best harbor for him to avoid related disputes.

For Zhao Zhongxiang himself, he has been working for more than forty years now, and it is time to have a good rest.

There is no need to host party activities, let alone handle trivial business work.

When he wakes up every morning, he doesn't have to rush to the office.

His wife usually wakes up before him. When Zhang Meizhu wakes up, he often has cooked breakfast.

Two people leisurely eating breakfast, Zhao Zhongxiang will read the newspaper of the day.

Because there is enough time, sometimes even the advertising space is not spared.

But even so, it took Zhao Zhongxiang some time to realize the slowness of time.

Yes, like all retired old people, once they are free,

That kind of boredom and loneliness began to haunt me slowly.

Zhang Meizhu saw it, but it's hard to tell.

So she told her husband that idleness is also idleness. Go out and walk the dog.

I have a dog named Beckham at home.

After that, Zhao Zhongxiang went out to walk the dog twice every morning and evening.

Sometimes he hates dogs running around outside, so he often picks up the puppy and leaves.

However, it didn't take much time to walk the dog.

Just one day, a friend came to visit with a painting.

My friend said that this painting belongs to Zhao Zhongxiang.

But he put on his glasses and watched it for a long time, saying that he didn't draw it himself.

I'm not that high-level. This painting is much better than myself.

After his friend left, Zhao Zhongxiang felt that he needed to paint again.

His wife, Zhang Meizhu, also knows that her husband has been learning to draw donkeys with Huang Zhou, a master of Chinese painting, since middle age.

There is plenty of time now, just concentrate on creation.

In this way, Zhao Zhongxiang soon found the main business after retirement.

Painting is different from doing other things. From conception to writing, sometimes it takes a long time just to think.

In this way, he spent a large part of his time waving a brush in the study.

The pastime outside painting is that Zhao Zhongxiang helps his wife cook.

In the previous decades, because of his busy, Zhao Zhongxiang almost never went into the kitchen.

Later, whenever he got tired of painting, he would move from his study to the kitchen.

Usually two people do it together. Zhang Meizhu is responsible for washing and selecting vegetables, and Zhao Zhongxiang is responsible for cooking.

In order to change his taste, he also spent time studying recipes.

So after retiring for a period of time, Zhao Zhongxiang once publicly stated that his next time was completely dominated by his wife.

In addition, in CCTV, because of the requirements of the unit, you can't just go to other local stations to host.

After retirement, he became a free man.

So a few years before retirement, Zhao Zhongxiang also appeared on the stage of local TV stations.

After all, this is his life's work and career, and he really loves it.

In this way, painting, cooking, occasionally hosting, traveling with my wife,

This kind of retirement has quietly lasted for more than ten years.

In 20 17 years, the unit organized regular physical examinations for retired employees.

But this examination doesn't matter. He found a tumor in his lung.

However, after further pathological examination, the doctor said that it was okay for the time being and only needed further observation.

Next, under the supervision of his wife, he will go to the hospital for re-examination every three months.

After two reexaminations, the tumor has not changed.

In this way, Zhao Zhongxiang's heart will slowly become lazy.

In this way, after a period of time, Zhao Zhongxiang didn't go to recheck.

Zhang Meizhu wants to get angry with her husband, but it is also very important to think of this situation.

Therefore, he was not forced to do something he didn't like.

However, because of this, the situation changed next.

From the end of 20 19, Zhao Zhongxiang suddenly developed symptoms of frequent cough.

Because it happened before, Zhang Meizhu said that she would let her husband have a check-up.

Unfortunately, the situation is different this time. The doctor's diagnosis is advanced lung cancer.

Zhang Meizhu at that time some difficult to accept.

She blamed herself countless times in her heart. If she had a stronger personality,

Forcing the husband to re-examine will not make the situation worse.

However, the disease has developed quite rapidly.

It was discovered in February, 20 19, and Zhao Zhongxiang died in the middle of June, 20 19.

After seeing her husband off, Zhang Meizhu suddenly lost more than ten catties in half a month.

In order to alleviate his mother's loneliness, his son Zhao Fang goes to accompany Zhang Meizhu with his wife after work every day.

Especially after the outbreak of the epidemic, the pace of life suddenly stopped, which created more opportunities for Zhao Fang to spend time with his mother.

For months, Zhang Meizhu was still thinking about her husband's life.

Once she suddenly wanted to eat chaos, so her son wrapped it up and cooked it for her mother himself.

After that, the bowl was heated three times in chaos, and Zhang Meizhu ate it with tears in his eyes.

After half a year, Zhang Meizhu gradually came out of grief.

She told her son that you should do your own thing. I'm fine.

Since then, Zhang Meizhu has started the same life as before.

Go out to buy food every morning, come back to cook and clean up the housework, and then go out to walk the dog at night.

Everything is the same as in the past, except that the person who lived with him day and night is gone.

But she won't reveal it easily again.

After all, she is not only a wife, but also a mother, mother-in-law and grandmother.

Now, Zhao Zhongxiang has been dead for two years, but Zhang Meizhu's life will go on.

As the saying goes, young couples always walk together.

When I was a child, I might not feel anything when I heard this sentence.

But with the growth of age, especially after old age, the weight of this sentence will gradually become prominent.

People are socialized animals, especially in old age, and the pace of life slows down.

Husband and wife need to care for each other more in order to live the rest of their lives.

However, in real life, no one can guarantee that,

When I am old, I can go to the end of my life happily with my wife or husband.

Who goes first and who goes later, in the unknown, also contains the memory of each other between husband and wife.

But if you unfortunately leave at last, then the pain of missing each other can only be borne by yourself.

This means that for every old man,

Enriching your old age will be the best magic weapon to resist the pain of missing.
