After Lu Yongan left, the family of three found a random restaurant for dinner. As soon as they sat down, Song Tingshen explained to Ruan Xia: "The teacher Wang he mentioned just now is my mentor. I lived on campus during high school, and my living expenses were not much. Teacher Wang often brings me meals to supplement my nutrition. Later, when I was admitted to university, the tuition fee was not enough. It was also a part-time job that Teacher Wang introduced to me. For his sake, others paid him a lot of money. Son, he even went to see me in the capital, the winter in the capital is very cold, he buys me a down jacket every year and sends it to me."
"Ms. Wang's health is not very good. I invited him to come to the capital several times, but he said it was inconvenient. He was supposed to come when we got married, but his mother was sick that year, so he couldn't leave." Song Tingshen has a rare warmth in his eyes, "Although I have always sent him things these years, it is still not enough compared to what he has been good to me. Ruan Xia, Mr. Wang has always wanted to see you, and I also want to see Wang Zai. If you If you don't mind, how about going with me to congratulate him?"
Ruan Xia nodded without thinking, "Okay. Are you going to prepare a gift?"
Song Ting said deeply: "It is indeed necessary to prepare, you are more careful than me, what do you think is suitable to buy?"
"Obviously you are more careful than me." Ruan Xia was telling the truth, Song Tingshen was much more careful than her, "Sixty years old, no children, so is his wife still alive?"
Song Ting was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "He is unmarried."
Ruan Xia couldn't hide her surprise, "Unmarried?"
Not widowed, but unmarried, all over sixty years old, which was a rare thing in that era.
Song Ting said deeply, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't talk about the teacher's private affairs, but seeing that you are very interested, let me just say a few words. Teacher Wang had a girlfriend when he was young, but he was not in good health. Well, she passed away before her 22nd birthday, and Teacher Wang has never been married."
Ruan Xia rested her chin with both hands, and said with emotion, "Are you so infatuated?"
You must know that what she has seen and heard of are all big pig's hooves, and this is the first time she has heard of such a thing, the first time she has heard of such an infatuated man.
"Later, I asked the teacher why I didn't get married. After all, living alone is still very lonely. He said that he didn't have that kind of thought anymore, and he also promised that girl. He will only have her in his heart."
"So, keep a promise with your whole life? Even if the other party is no longer alive?"
Ruan Xia is still quite emotional after all, she is not the person involved, she has already been moved.
May I ask which girl doesn't want such a love that will never change until death
Song Ting took a deep look at her, "The teacher is very responsible, not to mention, not all men are bothered, and not all men can't keep their promises."
Ruan Xia retorted, "This is an example, most men are big pigs."
... Big trotters? What does this describe
"Okay, what gift to buy, do you have any good suggestions?" Song Tingshen knew that discussing this topic with Ruan Xia was boring and meaningless, so he quickly changed the subject.
Wang Zai, who has been eating egg rolls, silently raised his hand, "Give me a toy car! Send me a remote-controlled plane!"
Ruan Xia pinched his earlobe, "Eat your egg roll, the adults are talking about something."
Wang Zai sighed, he has learned to sigh like an adult these days, "Mom, you are not like an adult at all."
"Stop talking nonsense." Ruan Xia glanced at Song Tingshen again, "If you live alone, I think it's expensive and impractical to send skin care products. A supermarket shopping card from your side, he will go to the supermarket to buy it when he needs it, and if you give him the money directly, he will definitely not want it, as for the real gift, you should choose what he likes, what does he like?"
Song Ting thought deeply, "He likes to write, brush calligraphy."
"Then it's easy to handle. I'll give you a good set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones... Ah, your teacher must be an elegant man."
Infatuated and elegant, this is also the template for a hero in a novel!
She wanted to meet the man who had kept his promise for nearly forty years.
"Okay, buy a good set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and give me a shopping card."
"You must be a good teacher. It's been almost 20 years since you all graduated. The students have already had their own families, and they still remember to celebrate the teacher's birthday. Then this teacher must be very good, otherwise who would remember it these days. "
Song Ting nodded silently, "He has been a teacher for many years. As far as I know, he lived frugally and donated all his savings to others. Over the years, he has also been taking care of his girlfriend who died young. parents."
If she hadn't known that Song Tingshen would not lie to her, would not embellish her, she would not have believed that there were such people in the world.

Ruan Xia went to buy a supermarket shopping card with a face value of 5,000 yuan. It is said that this is the shopping card with the highest face value sold in the supermarket, and there is no higher value.
Thinking of going to meet such an infatuated, elegant and responsible man, Ruan Xia also put her heart into dressing up. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, why did she feel like she was going to meet her parents...
She was wearing a slim white dress, her long hair was slightly rolled up, and she only put on light makeup, so she looked very elegant.
Beautiful people really look good no matter what they wear or how they dress up.
She had to be convinced by the original owner's appearance.
Teacher Wang's birthday banquet was held at a seafood restaurant in this city. Song Tingshen was wearing casual clothes today, but his personal temperament was there. The family of three came out of the hotel elevator, which attracted a lot of attention.
Wang Zai is the king of thousands of years of support, and he and Ruan Xia are exchanging business compliments, "Mom, you are so beautiful today!"
Ruan Xia flicked her hair, "Is it only beautiful today?"
"I am beautiful every day!" Wang Zai is now used to praising his mother every day, so that when his mother is happy, he is also happy.
Under such circumstances, Song Tingshen, who always chooses to be the silent background board, unexpectedly said, "This body is really beautiful."
Wow!
Ruan Xia couldn't believe her ears, "Really?"
Song Ting shyly avoided looking at her, "En."
Ruan Xia thought, sure enough straight men like skirts, preferably white...
But today she was praised by him, and her mood was instantly elevated. She found out that Song Tingshen must have gone to an ophthalmology department, otherwise how could she find that she is very beautiful today? In the past, she was dressed as a flower, and he never praised her. In a word, I didn't see him take a few more glances.
She is really swollen, Wang Zai's praise can no longer satisfy her.
The city is not too big. Even during the golden week, there was no traffic jam that made people vomit blood. When they came to the seafood restaurant, they went to the largest box under the guidance of the waiter. It was already very lively.
This time, on the one hand, it is to celebrate the teacher's birthday, and on the other hand, it is a class reunion.
Everyone was surprised to see Song Tingshen coming over—
"Damn, old Song, I haven't seen you for so many years, why haven't you changed at all, it's not fair, I'm almost bald, and your hair is still so thick! Also, how do you maintain your figure? It must be working out!"
"Song Tingshen, it's really you! We seem to have met each other when we graduated from college. It's been so many years! You're a real person, you never come to class reunions! If Lu Yong'an hadn't caught you in the mall this time You, I think it will be rare to see you again in this life!"
Of course, everyone reacted even more when they saw Song Tingshen bringing his wife and children over.
Especially knowing that Ruan Xia is only twenty-five years old this year, and their child is already four years old...
The female students hugged Wangzai and refused to let go, calling out to steal the cute baby, Wangzai did not show timidity, his mouth was very sweet, and he didn’t know who he learned from, calling others not auntie, but pretty sister, Coaxed a group of female students to wish they could give him red envelopes on the spot.
Male students, everyone is inconceivable that Song Tingshen married a young and beautiful wife.
One of the male classmates showed a shocked expression, "Old Song, you are dating a twenty-year-old girl!"
Ruan Xia was almost amused.
She thinks Song Tingshen's high school classmates are quite interesting. Although they are teasing him, she doesn't feel offended at all. Surprised by the age difference between her and Song Tingshen, but it was just curiosity.
Song Tingshen's expression was very natural and calm, "When I met her, she had already reached the legal age of marriage."
"..."
"Let me do the math, when you met your wife, you were thirty-one years old!! Seriously, don't you feel like you're a weirdo?"
Weird sorghum
Who would have imagined that Song Tingshen, the cool class leader in high school who only cared about his studies, would marry and have a child with a girl eleven years younger than him.
Song Tingshen has not appeared for a long time, so he has naturally become a topic of conversation. Everyone catches him and teases him to his heart's content. This is the friendship of school days. Together, it seems to have returned to that summer of that year.
What everyone is most interested in is not how big Song Tingshen's company is now, and how much annual profit is. After all, these have nothing to do with them. brought in.
"Squad leader, I always thought you were an abstinence class, abstinence class!"
Abstinence
Song Tingshen continued without changing his expression, "I am not a monk."
