I have been living alone for many years. My parents passed away a long time ago. After graduation, I had the opportunity to stay in the city, but I changed my mind. I like my village: fresh air, beautiful surroundings, it’s like I come to life here. Even though I have to work from morning to night, you can get used to it. I grew up in the village, and I helped my parents with the housework since I was a kid, so I’m not afraid of work. I work as a harvester operator. The work is hard, but you have to live for something.
One thing worries me – I am over thirty years old and I still don’t have a chosen one. I’ve met so many people, but it’s all in vain. Until recently, I was dating a girl. She is from a city ten kilometers away from me. And what do you think? She immediately said that she was not going to live in the village. She has completely different plans for her life.
One evening I heard my dog barking incessantly. I went out to see what was wrong. From a distance, I noticed my old neighbor not far from our gate. She was just returning from the store when, not noticing the stone, she tripped and fell. I quickly rushed to her and helped her up.
As a sign of gratitude, she invited me to tea. As I was walking home, she thanked me again for my help and then said quietly:
– “Son, everything will be fine. You will see. You will have children and a wife.
I didn’t say anything to that. I thought that my neighbor was imagining things, as usual.
A week passed. The old woman suddenly felt sick and was taken to the hospital. I had to take care of her household until her granddaughter came from the city. So I went every day, feeding the poultry, dog and cat.
One day I heard the gate open. I looked and saw my grandmother’s granddaughter. There were two boys standing next to her. Two days later, my grandmother was brought in. The granddaughter was still helping her grandmother around the house. One day she invited me to tea, and I agreed. That’s how we started talking.
As I found out later, the granddaughter is divorced and raising two children on her own. During this time, we developed a relationship and started seeing each other every day. We have a lot in common, so I made an important decision for me – I offered her to move into my house, and she agreed.
And the old woman knew something…
