Is it true that I married my wife for 20 years and gave her the largest private garden in China?

In the winter of 199 1, Zhou Xiaolin, a 26-year-old Sichuan guy, came to Beijing alone. On the platform of the train, a girl with fine eyes is waiting for him. This is the second time he has seen this girl. This girl is three years older than him. They first met five years ago and spent three days together. Later they became pen pals. The girl asked him, what are you doing in Beijing this time? Zhou Xiaolin replied: Marry you. In 20 17, they got married for 26 years and lived together in a flower valley of 1200 mu, which was a gift from Zhou Xiaolin to his wife in 10. Although Zhou Xiaolin chose to be a Dink family, she dotes on her wife like a daughter. At the beginning of this year, their love story also appeared on the Reader program, which touched the whole of China.

I am Zhou Xiaolin, 1986, and I am 19 years old this year. Worked as an internship tour guide in a travel agency in Chengdu and took a group to Jiuzhaigou. That was the first time I met Yin Jie. It was love at first sight. I really like this girl with beautiful eyes. This trip is only three days. We talked for three days and talked about everything. We left contact information with each other.

199 1, I applied to the company and wrote a letter of introduction for marriage. I came to Beijing alone to look for Yin Jie, and I told myself that I must marry this girl home. I remember seeing Yin Jie at the railway station. She was very happy and asked me, "Why did you come to Beijing alone? What are you doing here this time? " I replied, "I'm here to marry you."

I am engaged in the tourism industry and have no fixed residence. After we got married, Yin Jie followed me all over the country, and sometimes I lived in my hometown in Sichuan. I am not a rich second generation, nor a big boss. My life is not comfortable, but Yin Jie never complained. We lived in a three-star hotel in Guangzhou for five years on and off, and we didn't move out until the hotel was renovated. 200 1 year, we got married.

We are the Dink family. After getting married 1 year, Yin Jie found herself pregnant, but she told me that she was not ready to be a mother. I respect her decision and don't want to have children. Later, we reached an understanding that the living conditions of two people are the best. Yin Jie is my wife, lover and friend. Sometimes, I even spoil her like a daughter.

In 2002, we went to Danba, Sichuan, and saw many wild flowers in the mountains. Yin Jie fell in love with them at once. She said, I really want to have a garden that belongs to both of us and grow old together. I took this matter to heart and finally chose a piece of land with 1200 mu in the suburb of Chengdu.

We even sold our house in Guangzhou to take care of this flower valley. 20 1 1 year, on her 44th birthday, I wrote her a letter, which she said was her favorite love letter. "Elder sister, I wish you a happy birthday first. This birthday means different things to you. In the 20 years since you married me, you have grown up year by year, but in my eyes, you are still as pure as when you married me. I hope you are happy every day. The gift I gave you for your birthday today is the beautiful garden of the future. "

20 13 years, after 10 years of preparation, we finally moved into this big garden, 1200 mu, which is the largest private garden in China. Yin Jie told me with a smile that she only wanted a 50-acre garden to grow flowers and plants, but she didn't expect to be the owner of such a big valley.

I planted more than 400 acres of hollyhock, which blooms every summer, and the full flowering period is only one and a half months. This is the hometown flower of Sichuanese. When I was a child, I planted it in the countryside, both in front of and behind my house. For me, it is a flower full of memories and feelings. Now, it is the largest and most diverse sea of hollyhock in the world.

I spent three years photographing the petals and leaves of various kinds of hollyhocks, and wrote a book "Atlas of China hollyhocks", which is the first book in the world to introduce hollyhocks in detail.

I also planted tens of thousands of local lilies in China, such as Minjiang Lily, Luding Lily, Dahuajuan Dan and so on. They are the ancestors of gardening lilies. After visiting the garden every day, I will bring Yin Jie a small gift, sometimes a bunch of flowers and sometimes a handful of grass.

I took the gardener to take care of Huagu, and Yin Jie was playing in the small garden behind the house. She has planted hundreds of succulents, and recently she is fascinated with painting, painting on plates, stones and furniture.

Our life now is very simple. We can have a day by eating our own vegetables, planting flowers and pulling weeds every day, but we are not as nervous as punching in at work. Seeing Yin Jie busy and happy every day, I think everything is worth it.
