Lansheng hotel

The sudden death of someone we once knew is undoubtedly sad for our inner shock.

Especially at a certain moment in memory, it brings us more sadness and regret.

Although everyone will leave one day, the fear of death of ordinary people is still difficult to be treated calmly, and it arouses waves.

Just like the departure of my son's English tutor, Mr. Wu, after class, I deeply felt the fragility and shortness of life and the cruelty and indifference of intimate relationship.

That kind of deep regret, whenever and wherever I think of it, makes me restless for a long time.

Mr. Wu is an outstanding English teacher. The first time I met him, I took Xiao Shengchu's son to class. It was about the summer vacation in 2006, and the weather was very hot. At that time, Mr. Wu rented the basement of a building. There was no air conditioning, dark light, hot and humid, and two electric fans were blowing at the same time, which made people sweat. In the low basement with an area of only a dozen square meters, it is full of students who come to class and parents who accompany them. These people add up to twenty or thirty. Such a narrow and crowded space and dense crowd make the temperature of this underground classroom higher.

Teacher Wu's tutor level is also high, but the fee standard is not high, which is very suitable for civilian families. No one cares about the simplicity of the teaching point, and parents are still running around with their children. Because he has won the trust of everyone. Parents don't care about Mr. Wu's class, but they appreciate Mr. Wu. He didn't adopt small class system, and many children had classes together. He classified the children by grade, and the number of students enrolled in each class was almost the same. There are more than a dozen classes in one class. His schedule is very tight, one class after another, with only ten minutes' break between classes. Each class lasts one hour. The last class in the evening is 9: 30. At the end of the day, except for one hour at noon and one hour at night, he spent almost all his time lecturing. His tandem work should probably be called "full-load work method". He has been talking and talking all day, and his voice is hoarse.

However, almost every child who has attended classes, after his tutoring, has significantly improved his grades. Those who came to see him in the cram school were introduced by the parents and students who came first. He has more students than he can cope with. In addition, because Mr. Wu is very friendly, funny and deeply loved by children, they are free in front of Mr. Wu and say whatever they want, just like friends. Especially for older children, Mr. Wu is long and short, and he is easy to talk to.

What I remember most clearly is that Mr. Wu wears his short-sleeved T-shirt with several white stripes on his chest almost every day. This T-shirt is almost always wet with sweat. It's not him, love sweating. The basement is really too hot. He speaks very hard. In order to keep energetic, he always smokes to refresh himself. He is a heavy smoker and doesn't shy away from students when smoking. However, although our parents were somewhat dissatisfied, they didn't have the cheek to stop him in the end.

The parents who come to accompany and pick up the children are all mothers. Everyone came early, and when the last class is over, it is inevitable to talk about some parents' shortcomings. The topic is naturally about Mr. Wu. First of all, everyone is curious about how old Mr. Wu is. He is of medium build, with regular facial features and a thin figure, but he looks over thirty. Hearing this, someone immediately corrected that Mr. Wu was in his fifties. It is said that he just got married at the age of 35. Now his daughter is only 13 years old. The mother who knows Mr. Wu well told everyone that Mr. Wu lost his parents and brothers in the earthquake and left him alone, but he was smart and eager to learn, and at that time he was admitted to a famous university in Northeast China. Maybe it's family reasons. He got married late. His wife is ten years younger than him. She has no job and stays at home.

Later, Mr. Wu stopped renting the basement and rented the second floor of a shop in the commercial street for classes. There is still no air conditioning, but the classroom has become spacious and bright, with ceiling fans and a cubicle where he can rest temporarily.

One day, Mr. Wu was giving a class to his students when suddenly a woman in her thirties and forties came in angrily. She went straight to Mr. Wu, who was leading the children to read English, grabbed Mr. Wu's coat collar, howled and pushed him into the compartment.

Parents and children were stunned and didn't know what to do for a while. The classroom suddenly became very quiet, and you could really hear a needle drop to the ground. Teacher Wu had no choice but to follow the woman who looked like a shrew into the carriage and shut the door again. But I can still hear women crying and cursing. Although we don't know the cause and effect, we still understand that it is close.

This woman is teacher Wu's wife. A very unruly and fierce woman. What the ancients said is sometimes quite reasonable: a good man has no good wife, and Lai Han marries a flower branch. I never knew Mr. Wu had such a wife.

It turns out that Mr. Wu didn't come home for dinner last night. He has three college classmates, a man and two women, passing by and asking him to meet him. Teacher Wu did his best to invite his classmates to the restaurant for dinner. He didn't let his wife go with him because of his daughter. This made the suspicious wife very dissatisfied. My wife kept it all night, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. Finally, after 14 or 15 hours of brewing, it broke out completely. Desperate, she came to the classroom and got into a fight with Miss Wu. Miss Wu never fights with women. Besides, his wife is so many years younger than him that he always gives in to her. As a result, Mr. Wu was not only scolded dirty and malicious, but even his clothes were torn by his wife, leaving many blood marks on his face from women's nails and flowers all over his face. ...

But Mr. Wu has been coaxing his woman. The woman cried for a while, and then cried for a while. Finally, she was coaxed to stop crying by Mr. Wu and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy. She also scolded enough, fought enough, made enough noise, and had a balanced mentality, so she left proudly and indifferently. This noise lasted at least half an hour, and the children's classes were delayed. Teacher Wu apologized and told everyone that they would find opportunities to make up this lesson. I can see that he is also embarrassed and guilty. After all, children should not be allowed to see that disputes between adults belong to the privacy field. But Mr. Wu is good everywhere, but always weak in front of his daughter-in-law.

According to other mothers, it is nothing new that Mr. Wu's wife has made trouble more than once or twice. Teacher Wu's wife is uneducated and eccentric. She seems suspicious. She always suspects that Mr. Wu has second thoughts, always catching shadows and leaving Mr. Wu at a loss. Actually, Mr. Wu is really not that kind of playboy. Although he had a good relationship with a female classmate in college, he was not together. Now he has broken up for so many years and has no contact.

Also, Mr. Wu is always very tired, very tired, working hard for his wife and children like cattle and horses. Personally, he needs a certain amount of money except for smoking, and he is quite frugal in other aspects. But almost all the money he earned was given to his wife, who let her spend it casually. On that hot summer day when sweat never stops, Mr. Wu earned 6.5438+0.2 million for his family. Some people say that he earned more than 400,000. Everyone said that Mr. Wu bought this with his life. If you are so tired, I'm afraid you will get sick. Teacher Wu's wife should take care of herself like a gold ingot, instead of deliberately stimulating and hurting him. There was no class scheduled for one hour at noon, and his meal was very simple and casual. What does it matter if you eat better? He didn't. Or, his wife can cook delicious meals and bring them to him from home. Not far from his home, their children eat at school and his wife doesn't go to work. She has plenty of time. However, she has never sent a meal to Mr. Wu.

A woman whose husband was laid off and could only do odd jobs said to everyone:

"If I have such an honest and profitable husband, I won't give him up! How can you have the heart to make trouble with him and distract him? This is a cash cow at home! "

Miss Wu is like a desperate person who can't stop. His wife should be more considerate and take care of him.

Everyone agrees, but Mr. Wu's wife has arrogant eyes. These women tried to persuade her, but they couldn't get close to her. People walk past us women without even looking at us, let alone talking to us. Everyone wants to know how a literate teacher Wu can find such an incredible wife. Even their 13-year-old daughter has no respect in front of her father, except to ask her father for money or to discuss with girls who are a little presumptuous-like is not love, love is love. ...

This is what their daughter said herself. She just entered junior high school, the seed of love.

Sure enough, at school, she is very rebellious and always has all kinds of out-of-line behaviors. She fell in love and talked about several things. There is even no way out. The headmaster found Mr. Wu and suggested that he transfer his daughter as soon as possible. There can be no more daughters in this school. Indeed, a daughter has her mother's inheritance and temperament. Later, it was said that Teacher Wu spent more than 400,000 to find someone. She was only a teenager and went to Beijing to be a soldier.

Mr. Wu has more and more students, and some college students who want to take the IELTS test also come to him for counseling. I think his career is thriving. I haven't seen his wife come to school for a long time. After the summer vacation, most children went to his school on Saturday and Sunday. Probably in July and August of 2007, almost a year later, Mr. Wu told everyone a good news that his wife gave birth to a fat son. It's really gratifying. Students and parents are happy for him. The full moon wine was held in a restaurant near Lianhuachi. He welcomed everyone to join, and everyone readily agreed.

It was really the most unforgettable full moon banquet, which was both relaxed and interesting. Except for some parents, most of them are children aged seven or eight to more than ten years old. They are very happy. As lively as the wedding scene. The children are lively and lovely, talking and laughing. I still have my son. There are only two or three parents at our table, and the rest are children. We can eat and drink to our heart's content, and we don't need to stick to form. I remember that three parents congratulated Mr. Wu on the birth of his son on behalf of everyone. The atmosphere is quite warm and joyful. Although this hotel is not big, it has been contracted by Mr. Wu upstairs and downstairs, with more than a dozen tables. And there are no other relatives and friends, all students and parents, especially children. The whole hotel, even the staff, is filled with great joy.

Everyone sincerely wishes Mr. Wu and his family harmony and happiness. Teacher Wu specially invited a tutor to educate his son after he turned one year old. He said that his daughter was not well educated, and this time we must learn from their son's education.

Later, for various reasons, my son didn't go to Mr. Wu's English training class again, and he lost contact with Mr. Wu. It was not until a while ago that I met the parents of students who used to accompany their children to class together. Only after chatting did I know that Mr. Wu passed away a few years ago. He got lung cancer and left soon. When he left, his daughter was eighteen, his son was four or five, and his wife was forty-four. Both children can only be taken care of by their mother. But she has always been a housewife and didn't go to work. She should also learn to make money.

I don't know how their life is now, I hope they can live well. It's just that every time I think of Mr. Wu, people familiar with the matter can't help but sigh: everyone comes to this world and probably has a different mission. Some people come to enjoy themselves, while others come to be cattle and horses.

Others are curious to speculate: if Mr. Wu's wife finds another man, can she spoil her like Mr. Wu and make money for her desperately? Will her children meet a stepmother who is as loving and selfless as her biological father?

Teacher Wu's wife neglected the most cherished person in her life. She may understand now: even if this person has no time to accompany you and is not interested in teasing you, you should still try to cherish and understand. But cherishing is not slavery and possession. Even between husband and wife, can't all time and space be filled with love between men and women? Besides their relationship, they have many other things to do, so it is better to keep a calm relationship. Husband and wife have children, parents, work and other things besides each other. It is not necessary for a wife to regard her husband only as her own man. He is your man-yes, but he doesn't belong to you, children, parents, friends, work or himself. The point is that no one is a slave to anyone. No matter how close you are, you still need to keep respect and distance. We have no right to tie our lover to our waist.

Teacher Wu's wife, probably because she has no self and no down-to-earth self, so she doesn't have the sense of security, satisfaction and self-confidence brought by this self, so she can't wait to pin everything on her husband, even if it is time, even if it is every minute. Her bullying may also be a kind of love, but it is toxic and harmful and unacceptable. We think she is a terrorist in Mr. Wu's life. People also say that if Mr. Wu met a virtuous wife, cared for him and took care of him, he would still be alive. ...

Life goes on. I hope Mr. Wu's family is still happy. I hope Mr. Wu in heaven is finally not tired and finally relaxed.
