When she graduated from senior year, the school held a large-scale job fair, and Fang Yunyao, who had already initialed her hometown county school, went with her roommate.
It was at that job fair that she saw the booths and banners for the recruitment of teachers from Libei County Education Bureau of Jianhai Province: talent introduction, not limited to household registration, settlement of household registration, housing...
Libei is not well-known, but Jianhai Province is a well-known economically developed province in the east.
Fang Yunyao thought about it, then Libei shouldn't be bad. When I asked, the teacher's salary was more than twice that of her hometown, and there were various welfare subsidies, college entrance examination awards...
Thinking about her father's unhealthy body, her mother's hard work, and the backwardness of her hometown... Fang Yunyao signed up.
From graduating from university to 26 years old, in Libei, in Libei Middle School, Fang Yunyao's life can be regarded as uneventful, except for the unavoidable loneliness of being a foreigner, for example, the empty teaching staff dormitory building...
However, compared to the hundreds of dollars that can be sent to the family every month, the small numbers that are slowly increasing in my passbook are actually nothing.
26-year-old Fang Yunyao still looks like a college girl in front of her students and colleagues, but her family has already started to worry, and her colleagues and elder sisters have also begun to help Zhang Luo enthusiastically.
In fact, Fang Yunyao didn't resist this. Someone helped to introduce her. If she felt okay, she would go to meet her. After all, a girl's heart always has expectations for marriage and love.
It's a pity that the person she was expecting never showed up.
That is, in this year, she finished the first senior year of her teaching career. A boy named Fu Cheng, whom she had taught for three years, confessed his love to her while drunk at the graduation party. On the spot, Fang Yunyao couldn't laugh or cry.
That night, she called to chat with her best friend from college, and said in a deliberately ambiguous tone: "Do you still remember the boy I was looking forward to when I described to you when I was in college?"
She said: "I met a boy with a warm voice and clear eyes. I don't know much about him, but I have three years of impressions. I think he should be gentle, a little shy, and a little literary. Yes Well, he plays the guitar very well, and he sings well. Also, he's very good-looking."
The girlfriend said: "Then you still have time to chat with my old lady here? Hurry up and start."
Fang Yunyao said: "Two hours ago, he just confessed his love to me."
The best friend said: "... I know, you are here to show off."
Fang Yunyao said: "No, I already said that he is a boy... He is my student, graduating this year, I am seven years older than him."
The story here is actually a node. Fang Yunyao couldn't predict it. Later, there would be such a long and difficult story, which was both beautiful and cruel.
Later, he saved her from a wrong relationship, a terrible one. That day he fought for her, and stayed outside the door all night, and they sat and chatted for the first time.
She fell asleep peacefully in front of him, and he went back to the door to watch until dawn.
He said, Teacher Fang, I just hope you can find a good person... But, besides his parents, he is the first person who cares about her and protects her like this.
Still later, there was a drunken conversation.
She said, it's a pity that you are still young.
He said, just wait.
Maybe he shouldn't have been drinking that day, because his courage has grown just like that. His unbridled confession on the court startled her. The shock was really great that time, Fang Yunyao told herself, because she had never experienced such a violent heartbeat at that moment.
Regarding that sudden confession at his university welcome party, Fang Yunyao actually sometimes gets annoyed when she thinks about it, because it would be embarrassing, because that time, if she was honest, she obviously didn't have to go, but she just "sent it to her door"... I have to admit ? She misses him. I don't know when she will miss him.
That day he sang a song called "Fairy Tale", and he sang until he burst into tears, saying over and over again, please believe that we will be like a fairy tale, where happiness and beauty are the ending.
That night, she decided to believe in a fairy tale, and decided to gamble on the tail of youth, fame, and a lot... until he grows up. Because she knew that there would never be another person like this in her life.
She secretly plans to transfer to his city.
She knitted a black sweater for him.
Later, the sweater was stained with blood. In that nightmarish memory, he was the only good one. When he suddenly fell to his knees on the school podium, he told everyone that he made a mistake. The mistake was that he fell in love with a woman, her name was Fang Yunyao, and she was his teacher.
She thought, then make mistakes with him.
When she woke up from the boundless darkness, the first person she saw was him. From that moment on, Fang Yunyao knew that it was impossible for her to fall in love with another person in this life.
The recovery period was difficult, but it was also very beautiful, although that idiot still called her Teacher Fang every time, and he didn't even dare to hold her hand.
"Obviously, a guy who is so brave sometimes is so useless... If you don't hold my hand, I will grow old." Fang Yunyao is sometimes annoyed.
She thought about being desperate and not afraid, but on the day she heard that his parents were coming to visit her in the hospital, Fang Yunyao was still very nervous. She looked forward to being accepted and was willing to work hard, even if she suffered a little grievance.
…
When Fu Cheng's parents arrived at the ward, they were all smiles, gentle and concerned. They put down the fruit basket and asked Fu Cheng to go out and help book a hotel first. They wanted to chat with Teacher Fang.
The parents were obviously trying to distract her on purpose, Fu Cheng was a little nervous, Fang Yunyao smiled and blinked, telling him he was fine.
After Fu Cheng left the ward, Fang Yunyao struggled to get up from the bed.
"Uncle and aunt, I'll pour water for you." She was actually very nervous.
"No need, besides, you are almost thirty, and we can't bear to call us uncle and aunt." It was completely different from the gentle attitude in front of Fu Cheng. The first words of Fu Cheng's mother made Fang Yunyao's heart ache. fell to the bottom.
"I, I am twenty-seven years old." Like a helpless child, Fang Yunyao explained seriously.
"Whatever, anyway, we're here just... you just treat Fu Cheng as we beg you to let Fu Cheng go." Fu Cheng's father said.
"Yeah, you can't be so selfish, Mr. Fang." Fu Cheng's mother continued, "You are seven years older than Fu Cheng, do you know that? I would die for this alone. Besides, you are still him." Teacher, how ugly is this?"
"I… "
"You are still carrying a murder case."
"That's none of my business, Auntie..."
"Flies don't bite seamless eggs. People outside won't listen to your explanation, and these scars on your own body can't be erased no matter what."
"..."
"The whole of Libei has been ruined by you. If your own reputation is ruined, it will be ruined. You have also implicated our family Fu Cheng and our family Lao Fu... He is now the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but you It’s so hard that you can’t even lift your head up outside, you know? When outsiders see him, they talk behind their backs about you and Fu Cheng.”
"I'm sorry."
"Let me tell you this, our old Fu family, Grandpa Fu Cheng used to be the magistrate of Libei County. His father has now become a deputy in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. At his current age, and our family now With the relationship with the Xu family, it is not impossible for him to become the county magistrate in the future...
What about our family, Fu Cheng? He has our Fu family, and you know, his relationship with that child of the Xu family. Let me just say that he will definitely surpass his father and grandfather in the future.
And he married you? A woman who was seven years older than him, his high school teacher, and a woman who carried her life behind her back... How can you let him hold his head up for the rest of his life? How can there be a future? He's already been in the cell for you, and we wiped out the record with great difficulty. How can you destroy him? "
"I, I see."
"You can't be so selfish. If you really like Fu Cheng, just let him go and beg you, okay? Or, I'll kneel down for you?" Fu Cheng's mother made a gesture as if she really wanted to do that. , Fang Yunyao hurriedly supported her with tears in her eyes, shaking her head.
"Actually, Fu Cheng is only twenty years old. Do you think he really likes you? He is not sensible, and he will change in two years." Fu Cheng's father, who has not spoken much, said in a deep voice:
"Don't delay him, and don't delay yourself."
Fang Yunyao was silent.
"Teacher Fang, just pretend that we are all doing it for Fu Cheng's good, don't ruin Fu Cheng, do your best." Fu Cheng's mother said.
Fu Cheng's father dialed a phone number, and Fang Yunyao said, "Grandpa Fu Cheng has not been in good health for the past two years, and he was so angry that he was hospitalized during this period. People of their generation pay more attention to their own identity. Family style and reputation. You listen to him tell you... "
Fang Yunyao answered the phone. On the phone, the old man said, "Teacher Fang, right? Normally, you can't be blamed for everything, and I don't mean to blame you. We, the Fu family, actually did our best to help with this matter. Busy. All of these are fine, except you and Fu Cheng... In short, if you enter our Fu family's door, I, an old man... will die with regret."
After all, everything came too suddenly.
Fairy tales are not reality after all, she once chose to believe... but it was ruthlessly broken...
"Uncle and aunt, I will do as you say," Fang Yunyao said with tears, "Yes, yes... Can you give me and Fu Cheng two months? One and a half months is fine. Is that okay?"
She thought about loving him once, even if the time was short, even if it was just to act out the fairy tale, at least, the relationship would not be in vain.
Fu's father and mother were silent.
"I beg you. I will do what I say." Fang Yunyao knelt down, and the wound on her body was in severe pain due to the movement.
Fu Cheng's mother wanted to talk.
Father Fu stopped her, and said in a relaxed tone: "Then do as you said, I hope you can understand our painstaking efforts as parents... We will only have one child, Fu Cheng. You should also have your own arrangements. If you need any help, you can call me, and I promise not to refuse."
"Thank you uncle."
"Also, Fu Cheng didn't grow up with us since he was a child, he wasn't taught well, and his personality is twisted... So, we tell you this, and we don't want him to know, do you understand what I mean?"
Fang Yunyao nodded.
"Then we'll go first."
"Uncle and aunt, you go out. If Fu Cheng comes back, can you drag him to chat for a while? Just say we had a good chat. I... I want to wash my face first and adjust... Otherwise, I'm afraid he will see come out."
"... I've got my heart." Dad Fu also felt a little uneasy and guilty, and sighed.
Twenty minutes later.
Fu Cheng returned to the room.
Fang Yunyao looked at him and smiled.
"How was the chat? My parents said...it's pretty good." Fu Cheng asked a little nervously, but also expectantly.
Fang Yunyao smiled sweetly, nodded shyly, and said, "Yes."
The foolish Fu Cheng thought that everything was really so good...
