婚姻存摺

我的『婚姻存摺』是出嫁那天，媽媽遞到我手上的，當時我以為會是一大筆錢，打開一看發現只有1000元，我用失望的眼神看著媽媽，媽媽卻笑著說：「這是我特意為你們辦理的『婚姻存摺』，以後每逢值得紀念的日子，都可以存一筆錢，等到老的時候，裡面除了錢，還有無限的幸福。」

當時，我對母親這份心思不以為然，倒是丈夫記在了心上。

婚後沒多久，他就先後存了兩個500元，一個是因為他升職了，第二個是因為我手術治愈出院。當時我嘴上笑他無聊，其實心裡甜蜜無比，畢竟他把我的健康也當作一件讓他感到幸福的事。

沒過多久，我懷孕了，這一次，我足足往裡面存了2000元。

但很快，我們開始有了爭吵和冷漠；孩子出生帶來的快樂是短暫的，洗不完的尿布、餵不完的奶，進一步加劇了我們感情的惡化。

而那本『婚姻存摺』像被遺忘了，寂寞地躺在抽屜角落，上面的數字久未見漲。

我們鬧離婚的時候，媽媽說：「你們先把存摺上面的錢花光了再離吧，雖然錢不多，但是你們共同的財產。」

於是，我第一次取了1000元，然後拎著幾件心儀已久的衣服離開商場時，我又回去對售貨小姐說：「對不起，我不買了，請你退回我剛才付給你的錢。」

也許當時的局面窘迫極了，但我腦海裡想到的是那1000元婚姻積蓄的來源：

他是個害羞的男人，但曾在街頭大聲地對我說「我愛你」，我為此存下100元；

他記得我的生日、鞋號、密碼及最怕的事，我為此在生日那天存下300元；

他對女人有風度，也有距離，不給暗戀他的女下屬任何機會，我為此存下500元…！

想到這1000元裡就有這麼多的幸福積累，再看看婚姻存摺上的兩萬多元，我的眼睛忽然就有些濕潤起來。

晚上回到家，我把存摺交給他，說：「趕緊花吧，花光了好離婚！」

第二天晚上，他把存摺遞到我手上，我打開一看，發現反而多了1000元。

他說：「那上面的每一元錢都記錄著我們走過的歷程，我第一次發覺原來是這樣的愛你，索性又存進了1000元。」

我們從此又和好如初了！
