72岁的马学伍与71岁的老伴儿陈淑兰是其中一户。11月12日上午，记者见到老两口时，他们与女儿女婿正在炕上喝着茶水、吃着山楂，浓浓的幸福感充满房间。

“新房共有三间，铺着亮堂的地板砖，还有洗澡间、储物间、厨房，设施跟城里的楼房没啥两样。没想到，老了还能享受到如此的幸福，跟做梦似的。
E | 多亏了共产党，多亏了各级干部。”马学伍一边开心地说着，一边拭去眼角温热的泪水。
马学伍的女儿马帅告诉记者，在施工过程中，村支书刘文平每天都来几趟，帮忙找施工队伍，并积极与电力部门、建材部门对接，为新房建设倾注了不少心血。
热火朝天的施工场面，忙前忙后的熟悉身影，马学伍看在眼里、暖在心上。尤其是10月20日搬进新房后，更让他激动不已。
“我肚里还有点墨水，思来想去，决定用日记的方式，把我搬进新房后的所见所想记录下来，它是我内心最真实的写照。”马学伍说。
他给日记起名叫“幸福日记”。10月20日，他写道：“迈进新房的那一刻，我惊呆了，宽敞整洁的卧室、功能齐全的洗衣机……好像人生迎来了第二个春天。”10月22日，他写道：“刘文平又来嘘寒问暖，问还缺少什么，有需要帮忙的地方尽管吱声，能办的一定去办。这朴实的语言，让我这个老头子暖意洋洋。”
最近，陈淑兰的心里藏着个小秘密：等元旦春节时，把晚辈都请来，共同享受住进新房的幸福感。“等来年开春，把晾台铺上水泥，前后菜园子好好修整一下。那时，一个‘带派’的农家院会更加惹人眼。

采访结束时，刘文平建议记者为马学伍一家四口合影留念。

“等有空的时候，我到城里把照片放大，镶上相框，放在老爸老妈的卧室。这不仅是日常生活的记录，更是团聚、幸福的象征。”马帅说。
