Ah Xia's family only has two father and daughter, when Wang Hongju was recuperating at his house, it was mainly Ah Xia who took care of Wang Hongju, Wang Hongju's handsome appearance and personality charm deeply attracted Ah Xia, and unconsciously Ah She fell in love with Wang Hongju. After Wang Hongju recovered from his illness and left Ah Xia's house, Ah Xia never let go of Wang Hongju in her heart, and she was sad for a long time.

Ah Xia was eighteen or nineteen years old, which was the age when she should get married, in order to take care of her elderly father. Ah Xia's family is ready to recruit a son-in-law, but because Ah Xia's family is too poor, no man is willing to be a son-in-law, and a few men who are willing to be a son-in-law are not looked down upon. After a few more years, Ah Xia is getting older and older, and Ah Xia's old father does not want to delay his daughter's lifelong event because of himself, so he marries his daughter who does not want to leave home.

Although Ah Xia married farther away, her husband's family is located in a relatively wealthy area, her husband is an honest and hard-working farmer, the little couple live a peaceful life with affection and love, the next year Ah Xia gave birth to Ah Hua, and in the third year of Ah Xia's marriage, her old father died of illness.

Ah Xia's husband is only three days away from his 40th birthday, but before his birthday, a truck transporting goods kills her husband. Ah Xia said to Wang Hongju sadly: "In my family, only Ah Hua's father is a strong laborer who earns a share of work, and as soon as he dies, my backbone will be gone, I don't know how our orphans and widows should live in the future?" ”

Wang Hongju was very sad about Ah Xia's experience, and I comforted Ah Xia and said: "Ah Xia, I am not an ungrateful person, I have always wanted to repay you for saving my life all these years. In the future, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, as long as I can help you, I will do my best to help! This sad day can be passed with gritted teeth and straightened up! ”

It was getting late, Wang Hongju couldn't stay at Ah Xia's house for a long time, he said goodbye to Ah Xia's mother and son, and rode a bicycle alone to return to the primary school at night.

It has been more than 10 days since Ah Hua's father was hit and killed by a car, and Ah Hua has never come to school since returning home. Wang Hongju has always been thinking about this Ah Hua mother and son, and when there was no class on Sunday, he rode to Ah Hua's house again.

When Wang Hongju came to Ah Xia's house. Ah Xia was washing clothes, and Ah Hua went out to cut pigweed and hadn't come back yet. Ah Xia let Wang Hongju into the house, and after she made a pot of tea for Wang Hongju, the lovers chatted about family life.

Wang Hongju asked Ah Xia: "Ah Xia, Ah Hua's father's funeral is over, right?" ”

Ah Xia nodded and said, "It's done." It is very simple for us countrymen to do funerals, put the dead in a coffin and put them in the ground. ”

"Then why doesn't Ah Hua go to school?" Wang Hongju asked.

Ah Xia was embarrassed and said, "Brother Wang, I was about to go through the withdrawal procedures for Ah Hua!" It's not that I don't want him to go to school, after Ah Hua's father died, my family lacked labor, so Ah Hua had to drop out of school to help the family do some work! ”

"Oh." Wang Hongju expressed his understanding. He pondered for a while and then said, "Ah Xia, I know your current difficulties. But a child like Ah Hua deserves a good education, and besides, he is very smart and studious, and his academic performance is among the best in the class, so I feel sorry that he let him drop out of school! ”

"Brother Wang, I envy you cultured people, when Ahua's father was alive, he hoped that his son would grow up to be a cultured person, and he would no longer work hard to farm, so I felt very uncomfortable for Ahua to drop out of school, I always felt sorry for the child. I'm sorry for the husband whose child died. As he spoke, he left tears in his eyes.

Wang Hongju saw that Ah Xia was sad and cried, so he comforted her with kind words.

After a while, Ah Hua came home with a large bundle of pigweed, and as soon as he saw Wang Hongju, he happily called out to Teacher Wang. Then he threw down the pigweed and ran to Wang Hongju.

"Teacher Wang, why did you come to my house?" Ah Hua asked.

Wang Hongju said: "Ah Hua, you haven't been to school for more than ten days, and I've been thinking about you. So come and check it out at your house. Just now your grandma said she wouldn't let you go to school anymore. ”

"Humph!" As soon as he talked about not letting him go to school, Ah Hua pouted angrily after glancing at his mother.

Wang Hongju asked Ah Hua: "Tell me, do you still want to continue studying?" ”

Ah Hua whispered, "Teacher Wang." I wanted to go back to school, but my mom said my family couldn't afford to send me to school after my father died. ”

"Good!" Wang Hongju patted Ah Hua's shoulder approvingly, and then he understood in his heart that the main reason why Ah Hua couldn't go to school was the problem of money after all. He thought for a while and then said to Ah Xia: "Ah Xia, Ah Hua is a good seedling for reading, you let him drop out of school and ruin his future, and it is also against the wishes of the child's father before his death." Do you think that's good? I'm single now, I took Ah Hua to the school to live with me, and I paid for his tuition and daily living expenses without you having to pay for it. This will not only reduce the burden of your life, but also not delay the future of your children. ”

When Ah Xia heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No! No way! That's not going to work! Brother Wang, I can't trouble you, besides, you can't make much money as a private teacher, so I'm embarrassed to let you raise children for me! ”

"Ah Xia, I am a person who will repay my kindness, if I do this, I will repay you for my kindness!"

"Nope! That's not going to work! Ah Xia still disagreed.

Wang Hongju said resolutely: "Ah Xia, don't worry about not seeing Ah Hua in the future, I will let him go home to see you every Sunday and holidays, so it's decided, I will take him back to school in a while!" ”

Ah Hua was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Hongju was going to take him back to school, and he begged his mother and said, "Grandma, I want to go back to school and continue studying, so you can promise Teacher Wang!" ”

Wang Hongju saw that Ah Xia was silent, and she was still hesitating, so she took a step back and said, "Ah Xia, you let Ah Hua live with me for a while, if he is not used to living with me, I will send him back to you!" ”

"Alright! Then try it first, we've got you in trouble. Ah Xia finally reluctantly agreed to Wang Hongju's request.

After Ah Hua went to school, he lived with Wang Hongju Gang, firstly, because Ah Hua was the child of Wang Hongju's life-saving benefactor, and secondly, Ah Hua, this child is not only smart and studious, but also temperamental, and Wang Hongju is in love, although these two people are not related by blood, but they are like father and son in ordinary life.

Every Sunday night, when they go home, they ride a bicycle to take Ah Hua home, and every time before going to Ah Hua's house, Ah Hua's mother Ah Xia cooks a table of food and waits for them. After a long time, Wang Hongju consciously or unconsciously integrated into the life of Ah Xia's family, and Ah Xia's mother and son also regarded him as their own family. Ah Xia had a crush on Wang Hongju when she was a girl, Wang Hongju is a single man who has been single for more than ten years, and this contact has been in contact for a long time, and the two lonely men and widows who have come and gone gradually have a love affair, and these two people can't wait to meet immediately on the weekend.

Wang Hongju has loved two women, one is Huang Tingting and the other is Lin Meijiao. Although Ah Xia does not have Huang Tingting's intellectual beauty and elegant temperament, nor does she have Lin Meijiao's amazing beauty, Ah Xia has a healthy and plump body and a simple and kind heart, and her simple beauty also deeply attracts Wang Hongju. But as a teacher, Wang Hongju does not want to have emotional entanglements with his student's mother, so as not to cause people's criticism, he deliberately imprints his feelings for Ah Xia, but Ah Xia does not hide his feelings for Wang Hongju, every time Wang Hongju comes to her house, she is busy cooking and stir-frying, boiling bath water and sewing clothes for Wang Hongju, that look like Wang Hongju's wife.

Ah Xia saw that Wang Hongju also liked her in his heart, but Wang Hongju never said anything to her, so Ah Xia waited for Wang Hongju to open his mouth to express his love to herself. Wang Hongju refused to open his mouth for a long time. The relationship between the two is like a thin window paper that can be broken with a single poke, but no one wants to pierce it.

The summer vacation is coming, Wang Hongju rode a bicycle to send Ahua home on vacation, after lunch, Ahua went out to find a friend to play, Wang Hongju took out ten yuan from his pocket and said to Axia: "Axia, Ahua wants to eat at home during the summer vacation, this is Ahua's meal fee, you can pick it up." ”

After Ah Xia took the money, she stuffed it into Wang Hongju's pocket, and she said with complaint in her tone: "Brother Wang, I don't lack these ten yuan!" What are you doing? ”

Wang Hongju took out the money from his pocket and put it in Ah Xia's hand. He said, "Ah Xia, I really help you, you can take it!" ”

Ah Xia gently pushed away Wang Hong's raised hand and said, "Brother Wang, you don't know the way in my heart. What my family lacks is not money, but a man I can rely on! Alas! Ah Xia let out a long sigh after speaking, her eyes were a little red.

Wang Hongju saw Ah Xia's sad appearance and felt a sense of love and pity in his heart, he loved Ah Xia, and he really wanted to open the closed floodgates in his heart at this time. Let the water that has been filled up gush out. His hands slowly stretched out and put them on Ah Xia's shoulders, Ah Xia closed her eyes in shame and fell into Wang Hongju's arms, just waiting for Wang Hongju to hug her tightly. Unexpectedly, Wang Hongju gently pushed her body away.

Ah Xia opened her eyes, she was surprised by Wang Hongju's behavior, so she asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Wang, don't you like me?" Do you think I'm ugly? Think I'm old? ”

Wang Hongju said gently: "Ah Xia, you are a good woman, you are neither old nor ugly, I like you!" ”

"Then you will marry me!" Ah Xia cried. She fell into Wang Hongju's arms again.

Wang Hongju also hugged Ah Xia tightly emotionally, he gently patted Ah Xia's back and said, "Ah Xia, can you give me some time and let me think about it?" ”

"Hmm." Ah Xia agreed, and Wang Hongju slowly released the arms that were holding Ah Xia.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wang Hongju did not stay overnight every time he went to Ah Xia's house, and left after dinner, but it rained lightly as soon as it was dark that afternoon, first it was a light rain and then it turned into a pouring rain, and the heavy rain did not stop when it was time to sleep at night. Wang Hongju had no choice but to stay at Ah Hua's house. Ah Xia slept with the child by herself, and he placed Wang Hongju alone in another house to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the heavy rain was still falling, and Wang Hongju listened to the sound of the raindrops knocking on the window. In the second half of the night, when the rain finally stopped, and when Wang Hongju was just a little sleepy, he felt a slight movement outside the door, and when he listened carefully, it seemed to be the footsteps of people. Out of curiosity, Wang Hongju gently got up from the bed and came to the door barefoot without making a sound, he picked up a crack in the door and saw a dark shadow standing not far from the door, and it could be seen from the figure that this was Ah Xia's figure.

At this time, Wang Hongju saw Ah Xia walking gently towards the door of his house again, Ah Xia walked to the door and slowly raised her hand, as if she was about to knock on the door, but her raised arm hesitated for a while in the morning air and then slowly put it down.

Ah Xia's every move was watched by Wang Hongju, looking at Ah Xia's plump figure, his blood was boiling after a long absence, he wanted to open the door and take the woman he loved into his arms, and then go to love well, love to the fullest! When Wang Hongju stretched out his trembling hand to the door, a voice in his heart warned him to be cautious and not to open the door easily! His outstretched hand was withdrawn. Is this door open or not open tonight? There was a fierce struggle between emotion and reason in his heart, and in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, Wang Hongju did not open the door for Ah Xia, even if Ah Xia knocked on the door, he couldn't open it.

Ah Xia paced back and forth several times in front of Wang Hongju's door, but she still couldn't make up her mind to knock on the door, so she simply gave up and returned to her house. (To be continued......)
