Chapter 91 Teacher Yan’s Story

"Sorry, no offense intended."

She thought that the owner of the house had passed away.

I poured myself a cup of hot water. The weather in early autumn was still very cool. This is a small island and the wind can come in from all sides, so it is colder than in the city.

Ye Xihe was a little worried about Teacher Yan who was walking by the beach. He was old. If he caught a cold from the sea breeze, it would be troublesome.

The moment Ye Xihe stood up and looked up, she suddenly saw a picture hanging on the wall.

Young men and women clinging to each other, this is a wedding photo.

At this moment, curiosity drove Ye Xihe towards the photo.

Gently wipe the dust off the surface of the photo frame.

Ye Xihe thought that she already knew the reason why Teacher Yan came to this island.

The photo shows a young teacher Yan and a beautiful woman. At that time, they were wearing uniform work clothes, but the bright red corsages on their chests told everyone that this was a photo taken when they got married.

In that era, intellectuals were encouraged to go to the countryside, which was the so-called educated youth going to the countryside. Could it be that it was on this small island that Teacher Yan met his wife?
To be honest, Ye Xihe has never met his wife.

When she went to school, Teacher Yan seemed to be alone, but she had seen Teacher Yan's daughter, who looked very similar to the young woman in the photo.

At this moment, Ye Xihe finally knew why Director Li asked her to accompany Teacher Yan for a day.

Director Li is a classmate of Teacher Yan, so Director Li must know about Teacher Yan’s past.

What a profound friendship between classmates is this?
Ye Xihe gave up his original intention of looking for Teacher Yan outside. Now, he definitely wanted to be alone for a while.

After knowing that this cabin belonged to Teacher Yan and his wife, Ye Xihe went to the kitchen to find a rag.

After wiping all the dusty areas, there were several photo frames on the wall. After wiping them clean, Ye Xihe discovered that this was a family photo of Teacher Yan's family. From 1988 to 1998, there were times on the photos. Record.

But on that photo from 1998.Ye Xihe and the others did not find the teacher's wife, only Teacher Yan and her three children. Moreover, the family's expressions no longer had smiles on their faces.

Could it be that in 1998, Master’s wife...

Ye Xihe did not dare to continue thinking. If this was really the case, it would be very difficult for Teacher Yan.

At that time, looking at the photos, Teacher Yan’s oldest child was only in his teens.

Ye Xihe always thought that Teacher Yan was from Beijing, because when she was in school, Teacher Yan's home was near CAFA. At that time, she did not pay much attention to Teacher Yan's life.

It must have been hard to come to this small island in Haicheng from the capital city, right?

One is in the north, the other is in the south, two accents, two regions, two different cultures collide, how did Teacher Yan persist in the first place?

Is this what he often said in class: "Strong people never complain about the environment"?

After Ye Xihe cleaned the visible parts of the house, Teacher Yan came back in spite of the continuous drizzle.

"Teacher Yan, drink a cup of hot water quickly."

Yan Jiming is now 60 years old and is old enough to retire. However, due to the special nature of a university teacher, he is currently being rehired. He still insists on teaching and taking care of his grandson from time to time.

"Thank you, Xiaohe, for cleaning this wooden house so clean." Looking at Teacher Yan, Ye Xihe probably came back to clean it once a year.

"Teacher Yan, would you like to tell me the story of this cabin?"

Ye Xihe was really full of curiosity. She now knew that Teacher Yan looked gentle, knowledgeable, and a positive and cheerful person.

However, deep down in his heart, he was extremely lonely. The person who made him willing to share interesting stories was gone as early as 1998.

"If you are willing to stand up, I will tell you."

When Teacher Yan was talking, he kept staring at the photos on the wall. His eyes were full of longing. Looking at the photos on the wall, he seemed to have returned to his youth, when he went to the countryside to work with a charming girl named Jiang Lili. The days of educated youth.

His eyes gradually became cloudy, as if he had traveled back to that day in 1988.

"It was the summer of 1988. I followed the school organization and came to this small island to jump in and become an educated youth. Also coming with me was my classmate Jiang Lili. She was a pretty young lady. What kind of work did she do at the beginning? She can’t do well, so as an alumnus, I can only follow her and clean up the mess.”

From Teacher Yan's expression, Ye Xihe could tell that even if he was cleaning up the mess, he would still be happy. Maybe at that time, Teacher Yan had fallen in love with this delicate and unyielding girl.

"We have been educated youth here for three years, and then we got married naturally. We received the blessings of our two parents at that time, and we thought we could grow old together for a long time."

"However, in the spring of 1998, she never woke up due to a lung infection and stayed on this island forever. I said I wanted to take her back to Beijing, but she refused."

After hearing this, the sweetness turned into a violent one.

Ye Xihe doesn't like to hear sad stories, because that way, her tear incontinence syndrome will come out again.

"Later, I could only follow her last wish and leave her on this island forever. There wasn't even a grave. She asked me to throw her into the sea. From now on, when I see the sea, rivers, Lakes, streams, springs, and rain are all her shadow, and when it rains, it means she misses me and comes to see me."

When Teacher Yan said this, Ye Xihe glanced at the drizzle outside. At this moment, he no longer knew how to describe his mood at this moment.

This must be how my wife misses Teacher Yan.

This earth-shattering love story made Ye Xihe begin to believe in love again.

"At this time every year, I come to see her and clean the cabin."

Ye Xihe didn't know what to say at this moment.

Those words of comfort are too light in weight.

Teacher Yan was over fifty, with gray hair on his temples. At that time, he was only in his thirties, and he was widowed at such a young age. Later, for the sake of love, he never remarried.

To be honest, this is the most beautiful and touching story around Ye Xihe.

Ye Xihe made no sound and gave all his time to Teacher Yan to remember his wife.

Yan Jiming just sat like this and felt at ease.

This is the place where his dream began. If it weren't for Jiang Lili's encouragement, he might not have been so motivated to get into CAFA and stay at CAFA to teach with the top score in his major.

It's a pity that the delicate girl will stay on this island forever.
