“…… When I first met your wife, I was still a stupid big boy, although Xiaoru was very thin at that time, and she didn't wear any makeup, but in my eyes, she was like a fairy, and I was really dumbfounded by a poor boy in the countryside. When he said this, a strange look flashed in Guo Haitao's eyes, and he continued: "I secretly made up my mind at that time that I must marry such a girl as a wife in the future." ”

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Guo was also a lover back then. Hearing this, Duan Yun couldn't help laughing, although the age difference between the two was huge, at this moment, there seemed to be no age gap and taboos between each other, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

It's just that Zhao Ru on the side heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help lowering his head slightly.

"Actually, there were a lot of people who pursued your wife at that time, and there were a few boys with better family conditions than me, but she finally chose me, and I really felt that I was the happiest person in the world. After Guo Haitao put his glasses back on, he continued: "Later, due to our good grades, the two of us finally became teachers in the town, and during that time, we officially got married and settled in the town. ”

When Guo Haitao said this, his face was full of smiles, and he was obviously still immersed in the good old days.

"So, sometimes money is not the most important thing, many people in my era got married just to have children and continue offspring, but your wife chose me despite the opposition of my family at that time, so that I, a poor boy, have love, from this point of view, I owe your wife in this life can't be replaced!" Guo Haitao said.

"Lao Guo, what are you talking to the children about?" Zhao Ru heard this, and gently put one hand on Guo Haitao's thigh, and said a little embarrassed.

But when Duan Yun and Yang Ying heard this at this time, they were slightly moved.

Maybe Duan Yun and Yang Ying can't travel back to time and space and return to the era in which Guo Haitao lived, but they can still imagine the kind of relationship between the two in a difficult environment.

And not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China in that era, the marriage customs of the old society have not completely disappeared, and most people still follow the traditional way of 'the words of the matchmaker of their parents', so many couples at that time had little contact before marriage, or even never met at all, and there was no love at all, so Guo Haitao and Zhao Ru were able to fall in love freely until they got married, which was quite valuable in that era!

"Teacher Guo, I want to know why you and your wife don't want a child?"

Seeing this, Duan Yun immediately glanced at her, he obviously felt that Yang Ying's question was a little inappropriate.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

In Duan Yun's opinion, Guo Haitao and his wife are definitely not the kind of 'Dink family' in the current society, most of them are because of Guo Haitao or Zhao Ru's own physical problems, this kind of thing is more personal in nature, so although he is also very curious, he has never asked Guo Haitao.

"We once had a child...... to Duan Yun's surprise, after hearing Yang Ying's inquiry, Guo Haitao did not shy away from it at all, only to see him hold his glasses, and then said: "In the second year after I married your wife, she was pregnant, but it just happened to catch up with the country*, the national food supply was seriously in short supply, and few people could eat at that time, and your mother's health was very bad, so in the end, the child was gone, and later your mother was born anemic and had a bad physique, and she never conceived a child again...... After all, as a husband, I don't have the ability to ......."

"It's not your fault. Zhao Ru on the side said softly.

"Uh......" When Yang Ying heard this, a touch of sympathy flashed in her eyes, and then she stopped speaking.

"Even though we don't have children, I've taught a lot of students and I've always seen them as my own. Guo Haitao paused, and then said: "Over the years, I have donated almost all my savings to support many children in poor mountainous areas to go to college, and they are my spiritual sustenance and hope......

"I won't be able to live like you in my life. Duan Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Donating all of his net worth is something that Duan Yun can never do!

"It's not a realm, it's just that we have experienced different things. Guo Haitao shook his head when he heard this, and then said: "I experienced the era of war when I was a child, I hoped for peace in the world, and when I became an adult, I caught up with the difficulties of the country, and it was rare to have a full meal, and my income was low after marriage, and your wife and I also suffered a lot, but fortunately, the country resumed the college entrance examination later, and your wife and I only entered the university threshold when we were not confused, from classmates to husband and wife to classmates, and later became colleagues, I am afraid that this experience of the two of us is unique in the country!" Now that the country has given me a decent job, a house to live in, a high salary, and a variety of top national honors, this is something I never dared to think of before, and now I can live comfortably with your wife, I am very content!"

"I see. Hearing this, Duan Yun nodded.

He finally understood why Guo Haitao lived this kind of life that seemed to him to be a bit 'poor'.

Indeed, for a generation of Guo Haitao who has experienced countless hardships and hardships, a peaceful and easy life is enough to make them feel satisfied.

For the young people of Duan Yun's generation, they always have much higher expectations for material life, they have a high starting point, and their expectations for the future are also much greater than those of the older generation.

Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with pursuing a material life, because today's society itself is a material society.

"It's a great sense of fulfillment in my job right now, which is not something you can buy with money, and maybe you'll love it in the future. Guo Haitao said to Duan Yun with a smile.

"Teacher Guo, I will give you another glass, and this cup is also for you. Duan Yun raised it again, smiled and said to Guo Haitao and Zhao Ru: "I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated!" I learned a lot from you today, thank you!"

"Hehe, you young people ......" Guo Haitao smiled when he heard this, and also raised his wine glass.

With the light sound of life, after the wine glasses touched together, the two drank it all.

Just as Duan Yun and Guo Haitao were toasting each other, Yang Ying's hand gently grabbed the corner of Duan Yun's clothes......
