Mr. Yao is a man of good character and good outlook. There are two reasons why I call him "Sir". First, he is my teacher. He often gives me advice and can hit the mark on many things. In order to express my endless admiration for him, I call him "Mr." Secondly, this person is the other half of my life, so I call him "this is my husband".
Mr. Yao does not drive his own car, take a bus, or ride a bicycle to work. Because he lives in Shenzhen and works in Guangzhou, the means of transportation he takes to work is the high-speed rail, which sounds very high-end. You can shuttle back and forth between the two cities, just like a person knowing whether the water is cold or warm. I have seen a young man from abroad taking a plane to work. He is even better than Yao Sheng!
Because I still don’t have a license plate, I usually make my own way to work and stay safe. When it's time for rest, if I have to go out for something, Mr. Yao always says, "I'll take you there." When you go to work overtime, "I'll take you there"; when you go shopping, "I'll take you there"; when you go to the gym, "I'll take you there". I always use the affirmative sentence "I will send you there!" rather than the question sentence "Do you want me to send you there?"
I am still moved every time I think of this incident. I was hospitalized before my due date because I always had pain in my lower right abdomen. The doctor diagnosed that it might be an appendix problem. At the time, I didn't really care. I just stayed in the hospital two days early. Later, my son was born smoothly and I had no health problems. This incident gradually faded from my memory. Many years later, we suddenly talked about this matter, and Mr. Yao said that because I was hospitalized early, he was frightened, and he liquidated all the stocks and funds he had on hand, just to prepare for what happened to me. You can use it to save me.
Family dinners are often held here. The children are still young and can just eat a few bites. The main purpose is to have fun together. Taking care of children and playing with them has always been Yaosheng's task. This unwritten rule was formed silently by him, no matter who else. My mother would ask him every time: "Xiao Yao, are you full?", and the answer would be the same "Yes."
Yao Sheng’s outlook on life is extremely upright. Nowadays, some male compatriots’ behavior in marriage is also very common. Although he said that he can understand these messy things, he never agrees with them. They are safe cards. On this point, our communication is completely consistent.
Mr. Yao travels frequently on business. I have read an article that describes how a business-traveling partner often says, "When I come back..." He will change the water pipes when I come back, he will take you to dinner when I come back, and he will do it when I come back. Do this or that. Mr. Yao has never said this before. It is a bit exaggerated to say that his whereabouts are erratic, but he went on a business trip unexpectedly. There is no phone call for a week of business trip, and the phone calls will only start and stop for more than a week. I won't tell you when I will reply, and the words on my lips are "I don't know either."
People above me have always criticized me regarding my son’s education, saying that I have a bad attitude towards my son and the wrong way of speaking. Just practice the piano if you want to, practice if you don’t want to, there’s no need to force it. It's really a conflict of ideas. Could it be that children should do their homework if they want to do it, and if they don't want to do it, they should just let it go.
Mr. Yao started managing money right after he graduated from college and started working. As the saying goes, if you don't manage your finances, they won't care about you. He started doing stocks very early, and then futures. But so far, we are still in the era of accumulation and slow growth. We are still accumulating and we will wait and see when we will lose momentum.
It is great to be able to live life with Mr. Yao and communicate with each other on a spiritual level.
Note: Cantonese context: Yao Sheng = Mr. Yao, Mrs. Yao = Mrs. Yao
