My name is Li Hongliang, in 1995, I was 33 years old, I was the managing director of a road and bridge municipal engineering company, and I was also one of the shareholders, and I was not married at that time.
Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, I am a successful person, I usually drive a luxury car, and I have bought a house of hundreds of square meters, it should be easy to find a partner, so as to get married and start a family.
But on the one hand, I am busy with my career, every day is very busy, even there are no Saturdays and Sundays, I have to keep up with the progress of the project and all kinds of tedious affairs, on the other hand, I really dare not be hasty on the issue of marriage, I can't meet the right one, I just feel that I must not get married.
I'm not too picky, demanding, in fact, my requirements for the other half are very low and low, the best thing is not too beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, housekeeping, and I have a common personality and common hobbies, just talk.
I'm a more old-fashioned person, those who love shopping and fashion can't accept me, I can't accept this category, I just want to find those women who love poetry and culture, I just think this category can have a common topic with me and talk about it.
However, I work in engineering, and it's so hard to meet the women I want in this industry.
So since I graduated, I have been procrastinating, and I have never been able to solve the matter of marriage, and in a blink of an eye, I have reached the age of thirty-three, and I have not really fallen in love, let alone entered into marriage.
Although my parents were anxious for me, they couldn't help it.
But when I was 33 years old, I went to a remote and poor township in the southwest one day, but I met someone who was thrilled by it.
The reason why I went to such a township was entirely because of my old classmate Liang Zhiyuan in college, who worked in the township agency there and was responsible for attracting investment.
However, one day, he said that there was a charity activity of teaching assistants and students, and there was really a lack of funds, and he hoped that I would go over to participate in it and go to the countryside for a trip by the way.
I thought to myself, after all, this is a righteous act of dedication, so I drove my eighteen-year-old old Bentley, ran like this, until I ran to this mountainous township, found Liang Zhiyuan, and went out for a meal with him.
When he raised his glass, he asked about my marriage, I smiled helplessly, he was very serious, and did not make fun of me because of my shameful personal problem, but he cared about me very much and wanted to help me solve it.
"Liang, when I participate in the event tomorrow, I will introduce a beautiful eldest sister to you, I think she is quite suitable for you. Liang Zhiyuan said to me.
As soon as I heard this, I asked, does he really want to introduce me to someone? I guess he can't help me with this, I'm just an old-fashioned rocky mountain, and it's really difficult to find a woman who suits me.
Compared with Liang Zhiyuan, although his salary is not high, he got married early, and now he has both children and daughters, a virtuous wife, and a very happy family, which makes me very envious.
At this moment, he looked at me and didn't seem to believe it, he would introduce me to someone, and he told me very seriously that the person he wanted to introduce me was a female principal, who had been teaching in a mountain primary school here for more than ten years, and was now thirty-five years old and had never married.
When I heard this, I thought to myself that this headmistress was older than me, and I just thought that Liang Zhiyuan was really joking.
But he continued to tell me seriously, after I met and talked to this headmistress, I knew that the other party was really suitable for me, because she was born to teach Chinese, and she especially likes poetry and songs, and I will definitely like this headmistress.
In the end, I had a trace of expectation in my heart, but I didn't dare to have too many expectations, and the next day, I participated in this teaching assistant activity, and also gave a speech on stage, and Liang Zhiyuan really led a girl to me when I sat down.
When I looked at this girl, I froze, thinking to myself Is this the headmistress Liang Zhiyuan said?
If Liang Zhiyuan hadn't told me in advance, this headmistress is thirty-five years old, I really don't believe her age, she looks only twenty-eight, and her temperament is quite elegant and moving, and her figure is also very good, with a height of more than one meter six or seven, and a very curved and beautiful figure, it is simply Zhang Ailing in her twenties.
"Liang, this is the principal Zhou Meiyun I said, you can have a good chat with her. After Liang Zhiyuan finished speaking, he asked Zhou Meiyun to sit next to me, and he walked to the other side by himself.
The seat next to me has been empty, and then I realized that it was deliberately arranged by Liang Zhiyuan, and he wanted Zhou Meiyun to sit next to me at this event, so that we could communicate better.
I was so nervous that I couldn't do anything, and my heart was racing.
And Zhou Meiyun was also nervous, and also said something to complain about Liang Zhiyuan, saying that Liang Zhiyuan, the deputy mayor, made such an arrangement, which made her feel so embarrassed, after all, it was the first time to meet me, and I didn't know what to talk about.
I shook her hand briefly, and then asked her, has she been teaching in the rural primary school here?
She nodded and replied, "Yes, after I graduated from the normal school, I came here and taught for more than ten years, and my parents persuaded me to go back, but I was reluctant to go back to the children here, and after becoming the principal, I couldn't go home, and I have been rooted here." ”
I can't help but feel a sense of praise and admiration for her in my heart, because I know that the conditions in such a rural place are very poor, and it is not easy to stay here to teach, and you need to be able to endure hardships.
And she turned out to be a city person, came here as an educator, a teaching, is to teach for more than ten years, and also became a principal, it is estimated that she is quite persistent in supporting the education cause in backward areas, and really has a love, in order to take root here, ten years as a day.
I only felt that the elegant aura in her speech could really attract me, as if there was a magic force that led me to Tao Yuanming's paradise, and I couldn't get out for a long time.
She also asked me about my profession, when she learned that I was in a second-tier city, doing road and bridge engineering, she also expressed her admiration for me, but sighed, then I came here only because I wanted to participate in such a teaching assistant activity, otherwise, I guess I would not have come to this kind of backward mountainous area.
After saying that, there was a sigh on her face.
At this time, I told her that I was actually quite tired of the busy life in the city, and I was really tired of it, and I wanted to come to the countryside to find some agricultural projects to do, so as to contribute to the development of agriculture, after all, road and bridge projects are not always able to win the bid, and sometimes if you don't get business, then you have to lose money.
Immediately after, I told her that I wanted to start an apple farm here.
When she heard this, she seemed to think that I was joking, and seemed to think, how could I put those big projects and big businesses and not do them, and come here to do these planting things that only farmers do, and I don't study this profession, and I don't understand this industry.
I told her very seriously, I really don't mean it, I have this idea, when I start a plantation in the future, I have to find her to visit and guide me, and grow apples, I will give her food first, and then let her give one to each of the children in the school.
After listening to my honest and serious words, which didn't seem like a joke, she immediately laughed and said that I, a person, can tell jokes so realistically, so that she is really easy to be deceived.
Then she didn't want to say anything to me anymore.
I almost forgot that I was invited by Liang Zhiyuan to be a guest here, and I wanted to go on stage to present awards and pay money, but I kept twisting my body to Zhou Meiyun's side, and kept chatting with her about some topics that were not related to reality but only about Fengyue, for example, talking about literature and ancient poetry, and found that she really talked to me very well.
And the master of ceremonies on the stage had already used the microphone to say that he invited me to the stage to present the award, but I was so forgetful and indifferent, and Zhou Meiyun pushed me and said to me with a smile, if I don't go up again, everyone will look at me and her, and laugh at me.
I came to my senses and immediately walked up to the stage and said some apologetic words into the microphone.
Zhou Meiyun covered her face in the audience, looking at me and laughing constantly.
The way she laughed was really charming like a peach blossom in March, and after I saw it, I couldn't forget it for a long time and imprinted it in my heart.
Since I had to drive back to the hotel in town that night, I couldn't see Zhou Meiyun again, so I solemnly said goodbye to her after the event, and told her that I would definitely come back and look for her when the time came.
She said that she didn't believe it, she just thought that what I said was a joke to make her happy.
At this time, Liang Zhiyuan walked next to me.
He said to Zhou Meiyun: "Principal Zhou, don't you really think that he is joking, what he said is not true, he must have come for you, and soon he will come over to be a farmer, and my work of attracting investment will be in place." ”
Zhou Meiyun covered her mouth and laughed, only thinking that the two of us were talking big, not seriously.
And I was so shy that I almost gave Liang Zhiyuan a hammer, I just felt that he was making fun of me, and said in front of Zhou Meiyun what I didn't dare to say but wanted to say, but at that time, I actually hadn't made up my mind, I just thought, would I really give up my job and career in the city for Zhou Meiyun and come here?
Early the next morning, I drove all the way back to the city, always thinking about Zhou Meiyun and the orchards I saw one after another along the way, as well as the beautiful natural scenery of the countryside, and I only thought in my heart, why can't I make up my mind?
In fact, I have always had an idyllic dream and wanted to develop in the countryside, but I have not yet made up my mind to give up the career in the city.
However, is this job and career really worth my nostalgia? Every day I have to face all kinds of complicated people and things, and face all kinds of boring figures, as well as engineering business, project money, even if I get a lot of income and remuneration, what about it?
This is not the life I want, if the rest of my life is still like this, then it is really quite meaningless, I still want to breathe fresh air in the countryside, the most important thing is that I don't want to continue to be single, I just want women like Zhou Meiyun to become my other half, and then live a poetic life together, stay together in this rural place, and grow old slowly.
Eventually, I returned to my place of work, and after thinking about it for two days and two nights, I found my boss, Chairman Wan Qingcheng, and I submitted my resignation and wanted to withdraw my shares, thinking about rural development.
At that time, Wan Qingcheng urgently convened a meeting and called several directors, shareholders, and senior managers of the company, and they all persuaded me not to leave the company so impulsively, and thought that I was dissatisfied with the treatment, so they thought about how to increase the salary, and only hoped that I could stay.
But I told them that I really couldn't stay, and that I had made up my mind.
Even if they pay me more, I still have to leave, because I really want to live another life, and I also want to go to the countryside and help the agricultural development there, and I just want them to succeed.
In the end, Wan Qingcheng had no choice but to approve my resignation and give me his old Bentley as a thank you for my service company for so many years and working with him to achieve each other's achievements.
I had such a sum of money in my hand, so I went to that township, started to invest, took a few hills of land, and prepared to build a few plantations to grow apples and other fruit trees, and I also began to study agriculture and planting technology, thinking that it was a little late to change careers, but as long as I have perseverance, I will definitely be able to make achievements in this industry.
When I made the plantations look decent, I drove to the rural primary school where Zhou Meiyun was and showed up in front of her principal's office.
At this time, it was the time for the school to get off work at noon, and Zhou Meiyun was still busy working.
When she saw me standing outside the office, she looked a little incredulous and pleasantly surprised, and smiled from ear to ear.
She invited me to eat with her in the school cafeteria.
Although the meal was very vegetarian, I ate it with relish, and most importantly, I had her by my side.
She said to me, "Are you really going to be a farmer?" where is the plantation, and I will go to you to help when I have time." ”
I told her that what I had said in the past was never a joke, that I really wanted to come here to develop agriculture, and that I also thought that agriculture was the career I could do for the rest of my life compared to engineering.
Now I grow apples, and I can grow all kinds of crops in the future, oranges, oranges, kiwi and whatever, all of which I want to grow, I just hope that she can taste them and give them a good review.
She talked to me a lot that day.
And she told me that she knew a nearby grower who could introduce me to me and that I would learn a lot by then. And she would try to find time to help me every Sunday, as long as there was nothing special going on at school.
I only feel that she has regarded me as a blind date, after all, it was Liang Zhiyuan who introduced me and her, and with such a matchmaker, the relationship between us warmed up quite quickly.
And I wrote her the address of one of my plantations, and told her that I had called the scaffolding team there and built a good three-story bamboo shack, and I would work and stay there in the future, so if she looked for me, she would basically be able to find me there.
She nodded, and it wasn't until late that evening, when it was almost nightfall, that she reluctantly said goodbye to me and watched me drive away at the school gate.
And I spent the next few days on that plantation, waiting.
Although there are a few workers in the plantation who live with me in this bamboo shed, so that I will not feel lonely alone, but I miss Zhou Meiyun, but I feel emotionally fluctuating, sometimes I recall her affectionate expression, I feel extremely sweet, and sometimes I am worried that she has no feelings for me, and she will not really come to this plantation to find me.
In this way, I spent five whole days in a state of apprehension, and finally this Sunday, I wondered if she, the principal of the elementary school, would really come to me and visit my plantation.
I waited from morning to evening, and it was already past five o'clock, but I still didn't see any movement.
Even when my employees had already cooked a meal and asked me to go and eat with them, I said not to eat it for the time being because I was waiting for someone very important.
Eventually, as the sun was about to set, I saw a bicycle appear on the mountain road far away from the plantation, and the cyclist was wearing a long skirt and short hair.
I was finally pleasantly surprised.
When she slowly rode the bike to the point where I could see it clearly, I ran over and made sure that this was the Zhou Meiyun I was waiting for, and I almost burst into tears with excitement.
She smiled shyly when she saw me running to her so anxiously, and then explained to me that she had planned to come by bicycle early in the morning, but she couldn't make the trip because a student's parent wanted to look for her, and it wasn't until late in the evening that she decided not to come and wait for the next week.
But she considered that I was in a hurry, and it was possible that I had been waiting, so that I would not continue to wait like this, even if she knew that it was going to be dark and the road was far away, she would hurry to come at such a time, so that I could see her.
After listening to what she said, I thought to myself that she was not expressing it, she only had me in her heart, and did she want to be my other half?
Therefore, I just felt that I didn't need to say anything at this time, just kiss her and not allow her to say anything more.
She was quite surprised at first, but her eyes were full of surprise and excitement, and in the end, she just cooperated with me and kept kissing each other.
Every Sunday, she would come to me on her bicycle to come to me, to fall in love with me, to help me with my business, to give me a lot of advice on how to do business, and to introduce me to many insiders and experts.
I just think that every time she comes to me on a bicycle, she will be very tired.
So I bought her a mini car, this car is nicknamed the redneck, it is really suitable for running mountain roads, and it is also very easy to drive, she likes it quite much, but she claims that she can't accept my gift, just go to my household, and then she borrows it to drive.
I took her back to my hometown to meet my parents, who were worried that I was thirty-five years old and didn't know if the birth was going well, but in the end, my parents were relieved because she gave birth to a son for me in the year of marriage.
In the following time, I have been doing agricultural projects, made an agricultural development company, and also fell in love with various agricultural planting and breeding projects, whenever there is a harvest in my farm, I will send these fruits to her, let her taste them first, and she will also distribute them to students and students' parents for free.
I only feel that the original choice was right, because my original industry, road and bridge engineering, began to decline, if it weren't for my going to the countryside to develop agriculture, maybe I wouldn't have the current achievements, and maybe even couldn't do it at all, and eventually became a middle-aged unemployed man.
When I was 45 years old, I found a tumor during a physical examination, and I needed surgery at that time, and Zhou Meiyun, as my lover, although she had a lot of teaching work, she was always by my side, and personally fed me medicine, and always gave me no abandonment, which made me feel infinite warmth.
I just think that having her as a lover is really the greatest luck in my life.
She is a gift from God, and she is much more important to me than how much I have achieved in my career.
And Liang Zhiyuan, as a matchmaker, I am also grateful to him, because if he hadn't introduced Zhou Meiyun, a thirty-five-year-old unmarried headmistress, to me and thought it would be suitable for me, then I might have been single, and I might not have been able to find the real happy other half in my forties, and I would have to die alone.
Now, from time to time, I will go with Zhou Meiyun to party with Liang Zhiyuan and his wife, so that we can come out for a meal together, and talk about how grateful we are to him as a matchmaker for introducing us back then.
I also want to tell young people, don't be anxious about fate, if you haven't met a really suitable person, you can wait, there will always be a day, you will meet, or, this person who is suitable for you is by your side, as long as you take the initiative, you can hold hands with this person, so as to be white-headed.
