When I was sorting out my wife's belongings, I found a locked box under the bed, I used the screwdriver to open the box, after seeing the contents, my heart tightened, did my wife spend all the money on this before? In order to find out the truth of the matter, I got on the bus and went to the countryside.

On the bus, I couldn't figure out what the award certificates in the box and the letters, as well as the letter writers, had to do with my wife, but when I arrived in the countryside, I saw an incredible scene.

My name is He Wenjin, I am 53 years old, I work in a newspaper, the salary is a little more than 5,000. My wife is an elementary school teacher, and after marriage we had two daughters, both of whom are now married.

My wife is a very frugal person, she never buys herself clothes and shoes, most of her clothes are washed white by other people's old clothes, she still wears, shoes are also, perennial pairs, broken and repaired. Even the socks are patched up and made up. Twice, I bought her a dress and a pair of shoes. The back was all backed by her! He also said that I spent money indiscriminately.

There are also bed sheets and duvet covers at home, which are really made up and made up. Especially the sheets, which are covered with a large patch. During the New Year's Festival, when guests come to the house, I lock the door, afraid that the guests will go in and see the appearance of my bed sheets.

My wife often says that old things don't mean they can't be used, but they are comfortable to use. Although I do not approve of these behaviors of my wife, I do not oppose them too much, after all, the essence of frugality is a virtue.

But last year, my youngest daughter got married, and our daughter here got married, and the mother's family added a gold to represent a blessing. In the past, it was all earring necklaces and so on, and now they are all popular to add bracelets. Last year's gold price, a gold bracelet cost more than ten thousand.

In fact, when the eldest daughter got married, we also added, but at that time I participated in the poetry contest, just won more than five thousand prizes, so I added a gold necklace to the eldest daughter, and now it is the turn of the younger daughter, and after so many years, the necklace is inevitably stingy. Everyone is adding bracelets now, and it seems that it is impossible to say if we don't add bracelets.

But because of this, my wife and I quarreled. She said that adding a necklace would do, just like the eldest sister, but I insisted on adding a bracelet. The price difference between the two is more than double. In the end, it was the wife who made the decision and bought a necklace. The little daughter watched us quarrel the whole time, and finally expressed her dissatisfaction with her mother's behavior. I think my mother is a little stingy with herself.

Because of this incident, my younger daughter is not as intimate with my wife as before. When I came home, I talked to me more, which made my wife often sigh.

This year, just after the Lantern Festival, my wife fell ill. Pancreatic cancer, which was found at an advanced stage. Our whole family was in a state of grief. In the end, after fighting the disease for half a year, the wife still left.

After my wife left, the eldest daughter took me to her house in order to avoid seeing things and thinking about people, but where can I live in the son-in-law's house for a long time, after staying for half a month, I went home, and when I was cleaning up my wife's belongings the day before yesterday, I accidentally found that there was a locked box under the bed. I found the tool and opened the lock.

Inside was a stack of awards and a stack of letters. My heart was tight, I don't know where these things come from, the name on the award is: Fan Genmei, I opened a letter, the above content is about my life in school, and received a call to the tuition and living expenses and other thanks, and finally the payment is also Fan Genmei, so who is this Fan Genmei, why did my wife give her money? With this suspicion, I went to the countryside according to the address above.

According to the address, I came to a rural village in the mountains, asked the uncle of the village head, and found the owner's house. The person who opened the door for me was a 60-year-old woman who I was looking for? I said look for Fan Genmei, and she said, "Who are you my daughter?" Looking for something for her, she is in class now, and will go home to eat after class. Do you want to go back to the house and wait?

After entering the house, the old woman poured me a glass of water, I took a sip and looked around the room, the contents of the house seemed to stay in the last century, very old, but clean and clean, giving people a very refreshing feeling.

At noon, her daughter finally returned, and when she saw me, her face was questioning, and I stood up and asked her: You are Fan Genmei, and she nodded. Do you know "Qu Fanghua" (my wife's name)?

She said with a look of surprise: I know, who are you?

I said it was my wife, who died last month.

Hearing the news of my wife's death, Fan Genmei suddenly collapsed on the ground, tears instantly blurred her eyes, she said: Teacher Qu, why don't you wait for me, I haven't seen you yet. Every time I said I wanted to see you in person, you refused. Now that you're gone, I haven't been able to see you for the last time. Teacher Qu....

I saw that her actions were suddenly confused, and after a long time, Fan Genmei finally calmed down, and she slowly told me the story about her and my wife.

Twenty years ago, she had just graduated from elementary school, her father died suddenly, she had to drop out of school, once her mother asked her to go to town to sell eggs, just happened to run into my wife, when my wife wondered why she did not go to school, A question to know the reason. Then my wife started sponsoring her to study until she graduated from college.

Fan Genmei has always regarded my wife as her role model, my wife's teaching profession has always been her goal of progress, after she graduated from undergraduate normal school, she took the initiative to ask miao to return to the village to support teaching, so that the children in the mountains can also receive a good education.

After listening to this, my eyes were moist, and I finally knew why my wife had been so diligent and thrifty for so many years, and my daughter and I had misunderstood her and quarreled with her, and now my heart is very regretful...

After reading it, I was moved to tears by Teacher Qu's behavior. She is a person who really has great love and selfless dedication, and it is precisely because of her selfless dedication that this love can continue, Fan Genmei is the best example, she is willing to stay in the mountain village after graduation, so that the children in the mountains can also get a good education. She let Teacher Qu's great love spread in a sparky way.
