Chapter 16 Childhood Sweethearts’ Past 1
Mrs. Xia's name is Chen Wan, and her daughter Xia Nianwan's name is just as Yin Xi expected. Xia Sheng named her herself.

It means thinking about Chen Wan deeply.

Chen Wan and Xia Sheng were childhood sweethearts who had been together since childhood. They had a very strong relationship, just like family.

When they were children, the two of them were not so wealthy.Although both of them came from very poor families, Chen Wan had a scholar father who had a good reputation in the village.

Chen Wan has been frail and sick since she was a child, and her mother died early. In order to raise money for Chen Wan's medicine, Chen Wan's father opened a book school in the village. The fee was very small, and he only needed to pay some food to send the child to study.

With such good conditions, of course many families sent their children to be literate, which also solved the livelihood problem of Chen's father.

But at that time, there was a child who could not pay even a little bit of food but was able to finish his studies in Chen's father's school safely and even stayed for a few more years.

That was the young Xia Sheng, a helpless orphan whose parents had died.

Xia Sheng's parents were swept away by the water to save villagers who fell into the water when the flood hit, and never came up again.The villagers thought of their kindness and took good care of Xia Sheng. Whenever each family cooked a meal, they would call Xia Sheng to eat, and they would also give Xia Sheng their own old clothes to wear.

Xia Sheng lived like this, eating hundreds of meals, until he met Father Chen.

Father Chen admired Xia Sheng's parents for their self-sacrifice and privately took special care of Xia Sheng.He would ask Xia Sheng to come to the book school on time without him having to hand in anything. Even the paper, pen and ink were prepared by Chen's father for Xia Sheng without him spending a penny.

Sometimes after class, Chen's father would leave Xia Sheng alone and treat him to snacks that he couldn't eat normally. While watching him eat, he would also cook a small stove for him, teach him how to read and write, and teach him how to behave. reason.

Speaking of this, Chen Wan smiled warmly: "I was still young at that time. When I fell asleep at night, I would vaguely see my father holding an oil lamp and mending clothes by the dim light. I didn't know he was there. Sewing it for someone, but I know the dress is not mine.

Speaking of which, my father was really sad for him, he simply treated him as his own son. "

"From now on, under the guidance and influence of my father, Xia Sheng not only became good at writing, but also became a good speaker with literary talents. He was also upright and handsome in the village, and was praised everywhere.

My father was very proud of this proud student whom he had devoted many years of hard work to teach, and he always praised Xia Sheng's good qualities when he met everyone. "

When Yin Xi heard this, she was filled with emotion about Xia Sheng's misfortunes as a child and the strong master-disciple relationship between him and Chen's father.

Xia Sheng encountered such a big change when he was a child, but his character did not become distorted. It turned out to be the fault of Chen's father.

She admired Chen's father's kindness and righteousness, but also praised Xia Sheng's perseverance in studying hard under such difficult conditions.

No wonder Xia Sheng has such a rich and noble life, he deserves it.

"Then how did you meet?" Yin Xi asked curiously.

When asked about this, Chen Wan lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at her again, with a blushing and nervous look on his face. He hesitated for a moment before telling the story of the two of them in a gentle voice.

People in the village often teased Chen's father because of Xia Sheng's literary talent, saying that Xia Sheng had stolen all his knowledge.Father Chen only felt proud after hearing this and did not take the villagers' words to heart.

But what he didn't know was that Xia Sheng not only stole his knowledge, but also stole his precious daughter's heart.

The two first met when Chen Wan was nine years old and Xia Sheng was eight years old.

It was a cold night with heavy snowfall, and school was out. Chen Wan's father couldn't bear to see Xia Sheng, who was wearing a ragged coat and had so many frostbites on his hands that he couldn't hold a pen, so he used the excuse that Xia Sheng's handwriting was lacking. , asked Xia Sheng to go to his home after school and rewrite Bai Ri's words.So after school, Xia Sheng went to Chen Wan's house alone, while Chen Wan's father went to the clothesmaker's house in the village and made Xia Sheng a new cotton-padded jacket with his own money.

When Xia Sheng was a child, he had no father or mother, and his food and clothing were not as good as those of children with parents at home. Therefore, he felt inferior and sensitive at that time. When he met Chen Wan lying on the bed with a low fever, he was stunned. I stood at the door for a long time, not daring to go in.

As for Chen Wan, she had never left home due to physical reasons since she was a child, and had no contact with friends of the same age. Therefore, regarding Xia Sheng's arrival, little Chen Wan curled up under the quilt and stared at Xia Sheng nervously, feeling shy and nervous. curious.

The two stared at each other for a long time. Finally, after Chen Wan couldn't hold back a sneeze, Xia Sheng hurriedly entered the room and closed the door.Seeing Chen Wan coughing continuously due to the cold wind, Xia Sheng hurriedly poured her a glass of hot water, and then because he was too nervous, he accidentally tripped over a stool, and the whole glass of water fell directly on his face.

Seeing Xia Sheng's embarrassed appearance, Chen Wan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "giggling."

Xia Sheng covered his butt in embarrassment and listened to Chen Wan's clear laughter. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh himself.

From then on, whenever Xia Sheng had something to do, he would run to Chen Wan's house on the pretext of asking for books, spring, summer, autumn and winter, year after year.

Chen Wan's father was very pleased to see Xia Sheng's studious and inquiring look, stroking his beard. He told everyone he met that Xia Sheng was a kid who could be taught.

It's just that he didn't notice at all that every time his "teachable" protégé was practicing calligraphy with a pen or walking around reciting poems in his home, there would always be a delicate figure lying behind the door, shy and timid. peep.

In Chen Wan's heart, Xia Sheng was the first friend she came into contact with who did not dislike her squeamishness when she was suffering from illness, so he was very precious.

Therefore, in the past ten years, Xia Sheng took Chen Wan out of the house countless times to play outside. When Chen Wan couldn't walk, he patiently carried her to see the lanterns on the entire street.

He also wrote the love poems he had been pondering all night on several times and secretly put them under Chen Wan's pillow. In the end, Chen Wan, who was so shy that she blushed, carefully sewed each love poem onto a handkerchief.

He even promised Chen Wan several times that he would live for her alone in this life and would never betray Chen Wan.

Yin Xi was so mesmerized that she didn't notice the fleeting sadness on Mrs. Xia's face when she said Xia Sheng's sincere promise.

She opened her eyes wide and asked curiously: "Then your father must be very satisfied with your marriage."

Unexpectedly, the shyness on Chen Wan's face disappeared a little at this time, and became a little more sad.

"No, Xia Sheng mustered up the courage to express his feelings to my father, but my father rejected the marriage," she said.

"Why?" Yin Xi was confused about the direction of this matter. She couldn't figure out: one was her precious daughter, and the other was her favorite good student. Why did Chen Wan's father not agree to their marriage?
It's obvious that the two of them have the same feelings for each other and are childhood sweethearts, familiar with each other and admiring each other. There is no one more suitable than them in the world. Why doesn't Chen Wan's father agree?
Chen Wan shook her head and said, "I don't know. My father was too old at that time. Xia Sheng begged me for two full months, and I also begged my father for two months. But I know that he didn't let go when my father died. But later I still married him, because the only relatives we have in this world are each other." At the end of her sentence, her eyes turned red.

"I married him when he had nothing, and then we had Nian Wan." Speaking of her daughter, Chen Wan's eyes became more loving.

"Nianwan was named by her. I was shy and didn't want to give it this name, but he insisted. He also said that every time Nianwan met a friend, there would be one more person in the world who knew that Xia Sheng loved Chen Wan deeply. "Speaking, Chen Wan laughed sheepishly again.

"It's just that Nian Wan accidentally ran away when she was ten years old. We anxiously searched for her for a long time with no results. Until a rainy night a few months later, Xia Sheng left home alone. I don't know where she went. All I know is that he disappeared for a few days and returned home with a weak Nianwan in his arms.

Since then, Xia Sheng did some business outside and made a lot of money, and then our life became better.But for some reason, my health was getting worse day by day, and I couldn't help him manage the complicated things at home, so he spent money to buy magnolia from outside. It was said that he had no father or mother. When he was bullied by others, he asked Xia Sheng Saved by chance.

Although this girl Yu Lan is young, she is really a good housekeeper.After she came to the house, I felt a lot more relaxed when I had nothing to do, and my health seemed to be getting better.So I never care about things at home, and I only focus on playing with my Nianwan. "
