My Wife

After I was transferred to my hometown, Fuyang, a coworker introduced a woman to me. She was a nurse at a traditional Chinese hospital.

A few months later, we felt like we were the right one for each other, so we planned to get married.

According to Chinese tradition, after a woman decides to marry a man, the man should visit the woman’s family.

When a man visits his parents-in-law, he is supposed to bringing gifts . One of the indispensable gifts is Chinese liquor.

Back then, the best Chinese liquor people considered in my area was 古井贡酒, which was said to be given to emperors once in Chinese history.

The 古井贡酒 was very expensive. My wife knew that I was not able to afford it. She said, don’t worry, I can take two bottles of it from my family to you. I was shocked and said, it is not good.

She still stuck to her idea. She said, no worries, my parents won’t know. They never count how many liquors they have.

She immediately took two bottles of that liquor to me. Then I bought two chickens, fruits and candies and visited her family.

Among those gifts, the liquors were the most expensive ones. Up to now, I still feel grateful to my wife. She didn’t embarrass me, but helped me.
