Yesterday I was very inspired to hear a friend tell the story of one of her elementary school teachers.
The elementary school teacher was a seventy-two-year-old lady. At that time, he was an intellectual youth who went to the mountains and went to the countryside, and came to Jiaozuo from Xi'an. He taught at the primary school for Li Fengmin's children, and after getting married, he was transferred away. In the years of teaching, she left a deep and beautiful memory for the students, and decades later, students followed that memory to find her. My friend is one of them.
Friends told many stories about her teacher. In particular, the story of acquaintance and love between the teacher and the lover, and the story of accompanying them for a lifetime is thought-provoking.
The teacher is a petite lady from a big city, well-born, cultured, and beautiful. At that time, there were many people pursuing, and the teacher's lover also launched a fierce pursuit after being introduced to the teacher. It is a fierce pursuit, and it is more objective to use the word violent to describe his pursuit.
Because the teacher did not like him at first, he refused at first. It's just that the beautiful girl with culture in the big city has more implications, and wants to scare away the other party by exaggerating her own faults. "I have a lot of problems and it's not for you." "I have three main problems, one is that I am lazy and like to sleep lazily in the morning; the second is that I am stupid and cannot do needlework; and the third is that I am short-tempered and easy to get angry." Lazy and stupid and bad temper, such a girl not to say in the past, even now it is estimated that not many people like it. But the teacher's lover didn't know which tendon was wrong. He said, "It doesn't matter if you don't get up in the morning, I get up and cook; it doesn't matter if you don't do needlework, we can ask someone else for help or go to a tailor's shop on the street; it doesn't matter if you're short-tempered, I'm good-tempered." Such an answer is not an ordinary person when you hear it. The average man can't say such a thing at all.
The teacher's man is indeed not an ordinary person, not only does what he says is not ordinary, but what he does is not ordinary.
After a while, the teacher's father came from Xi'an to watch his daughter.D. After meeting, ask the girlfriend," Do you have a partner?" "No", "Don't lie to me, your subjects have all gone to our house", "What? ”......
It turned out that the teacher's lover borrowed the opportunity of the business trip to the teacher's home in Xi'an to visit. Moreover, he came and went to conquer everyone in the teacher's family, and the family thought that this young man was worthy of the teacher's trust for life.
The teacher said, "In the end, the family has become a lobbyist for the young man, and they all advise her, a person is in Jiaozuo, everyone is not at ease, only with such a young man, everyone can rest assured."
In this way, the teacher and the lover came together.
I asked my friend, what happened to the teacher and the teacher?
My friend said, "Very good! "The teacher's lover has loved her all his life and is very tolerant of her", "And the teacher's two daughters are very good, one in Germany, one in Australia, the teacher's two sons have been visiting most of the world for so many years"...
Speaking of which, it is estimated that many female compatriots should envy the teacher for meeting a good man. Yes, the teacher's lover is indeed very good, not an ordinary person. When the average person pursues a teacher, he cannot say what he says or cannot do what he does.
So the question is, such an unusual man, will like a lazy, stupid and tantrum woman, but also spend a lifetime to tolerate her?
Such a lazy, stupid and tantrum-throwing woman would make the elementary school students who had been taught decades ago go to great lengths to find her and get close to her?
Impossible, the so-called lazy and stupid and good temper tantrums are just a pretext for the teacher to reject the suitors at that time. Teachers have many virtues and advantages. However, the average person will be scared away by her exaggerated laziness and stupidity and quick temper. Only an unusual young man like the teacher's lover can see the essence through the illusion and discover the virtues and advantages of the teacher at a glance. Attracted by the virtues and advantages of the teacher, he will actively exert his own virtues and advantages to boldly pursue his lover and pursue his happiness. It's not a momentary confusion and the wrong tendon.
On the surface, it was the teacher's lover who loved her all her life; it was the teacher's students who pursued her all her life! In fact, the teacher's happy life is created by the virtues and advantages that the teacher himself has. The teacher's beautiful love is also the result of the collision and complementarity of their two sons' virtues and advantages!
It's all rooted in those virtues and strengths!
