At the beginning of August 2016, a young and beautiful woman stood tearfully in front of a stubble-faced man on a quiet side street in Nanjing. The woman's hands were tightly gripping the man's sleeves, seemingly trying her best. Begging for something.
The woman's name is Wang Qianru, an overseas master who has just returned from studying, and the man's name is Xiao Yukai, who is a parking clerk at the Xiuyu Red Tea House restaurant in Wuhan.
The girl is Xiao Yukai’s current girlfriend and the one who has given the most. They have known each other for eight years and have been in love for eight years.
When the two met for the first time, Wang Qianru was still a poor student who failed the college entrance examination. Xiao Yukai made every effort to provide her undergraduate and master degrees. In order for her to go to school, Xiao Yukai also mortgaged the marriage room prepared by her parents.

Xiao Yukai was born in Dazu District, Chongqing in 1977. His parents are two ordinary workers in Wuhan Hankou Paper Mill. The factory is busy with work, and he has been brought up in his grandparents' house since he was a child.
Grandpa Xiao is not well-educated, and her patriarchal thought is particularly stubborn. She is even more spoiled for her eldest grandson Xiao Yukai.
When he was young, he was playful and didn't want to do homework, so his grandparents went to borrow the homework written by the children in the same village to copy for him, which was convenient for Xiao Yukai and also caused his poor academic performance.
When Xiao Yukai was 8 years old, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were laid off and returned home due to poor efficiency in the factory. Since then, the family's life has been supported by their parents farming and selling food.
Working at sunrise and returning at sunset is the living habit of the farmers, and it is also the normal work of the father and the mother.

Looking at the curving backs of his parents, the young Xiao Yukai also gradually became sensible. He no longer plays crazy all day long, and when he comes home from school, he starts to help the family do the work within his capacity, so that his grandparents will exaggerate his grandson when he grows up and know how to be filial to others.
In 1996, Xiao Yukai failed the college entrance examination. With the encouragement of his parents, he bid farewell to the small village where he grew up and went to work in Fujian Electronics Factory with his neighbors.
A few months later, due to the poor efficiency of the factory, it was difficult to pay wages on time, so he moved to work in a household appliance fan factory in Nanhai, Guangdong.
The summer heat in Guangdong is unbearable. At night, there is only one dilapidated ceiling fan in the entire dormitory, which is nothing but noisy.
One late night, Xiao Yukai was too hot to sleep, so he and his roommate made an appointment to go to the roof of the building to enjoy the cool air. Looking at the closed dormitory door on the opposite building, Xiao Yukai asked curiously: "Aren't they hot? Why don't the dormitory doors open for ventilation in summer?"
The roommate told Xiao Yukai that the work in the factory is divided into two parts. Kind of: One kind is like them who have no culture to do coolies in the workshop, and the other kind is those who are highly educated and work their brains in the office.
Different types of work have different salaries. The workshop staff consisted of seven or eight people squeezed into a dormitory, ate big pots of rice, and installed dilapidated ceiling fans.
Most of the employees sitting in the office are one person and one room. The cafeteria opens a small stove every day. The dormitory is also equipped with a floor fan . On the opposite floor are the office employees and the leaders of the factory.

After listening to his roommate, Xiao Yukai was too envious, and for the first time realized the gap brought by learning.
He secretly vowed from the bottom of his heart that he must improve his academic qualifications if he has the opportunity in the future. One day, he will also live in a house equipped with a floor fan.
From that day on, Xiao Yukai began to inquire about the improvement of academic qualifications. Fortunately, the effort paid off, and soon he learned about adult undergraduates from the factory accountant.
After several years of accumulation, in 2003, Xiao Yukai applied for Southwest University of Political Science and Law for a self-study undergraduate degree in law, and successfully graduated with a certificate two years later.
After graduation, Xiao Yukai returned to his parents and worked in an elderly care service company. With his outstanding work performance, he was gradually promoted to the department's product manager, and he also accumulated some savings.
In early 2006, Xiao Yukai met his first love, a young girl from Wuhan who was from Chongqing Normal University . At that time, the little girl applied for an internship in Xiao Yukai's department. She was lively and cheerful and was very good at coming. Soon the two of them got together naturally.
After graduating from university, the little girl wanted to develop with her parents, so she took him back to Wuhan together.
Later, on her suggestion, Xiao Yukai used all his savings to open a hot pot restaurant for her parents. In just over a year, the hot pot restaurant closed down due to poor management, and she broke up with him.
The departure of his girlfriend made him lose everything at once. The cruel reality made Xiao Yukai unable to breathe. He started to sleep the whole night, and spent the whole day under the numbness of alcohol.
Gradually, he couldn't even pay the rent, so he had to apply for a parking clerk at Xiuyu Cafe. The company provides food and accommodation, which can be considered as a temporary solution to his urgent need.
He thought that the previous relationship was painful enough, but he didn't expect the more absurdity is yet to come.
In November 2008, Xiao Yukai saw a dating message in his favorite magazine. The girl's name was Wang Qianru. She was a librarian in a library in Hankou, and her work location happened to be near Xiao Yukai's company.
The girl in the photo is beautiful and beautiful, with an inexplicable melancholy in her bright eyes. As soon as Xiao Yukai saw the photo, her silent heart beats unconsciously, and there was even a kind of wanting to put her under her wings. Protect her impulse.
Xiao Yukai followed the message left by Wang Qianru in the magazine and contacted her. Wang Qianru told Xiao Yukai that he was born in a poor rural area in Guizhou. The mother disliked that the family was too poor and left home when she was very young. She was supported by her sick father who farmed the land.
After failing the college entrance examination, she came to Wuhan to work and earn money, and now she wants to find a boyfriend who has no bad habits to have a good relationship. It doesn't matter if there is no car or house, two people can fight together.
Wang Qianru's misery deeply moved Xiao Yukai, and he also shared his painful memories with her. Soon, the two people who cared about each other walked together.
After learning that Wang Qian would like to go to university, Xiao Yukai decided to help her realize her dream. He bought review materials for her, fearing that the dormitory would be too noisy, so he rented a small house for her to review.
The salary of the parking staff is relatively low. In order to save enough money for his girlfriend to go to school, Xiao Yukai also runs various part-time jobs after get off work every day. He is not afraid of hardship, he will go as long as he gives the money.
There was a part-time job that was far away. When he finished his work and was ready to go home, the bus was out of service a long time ago, so he had to ride a bicycle back in the middle of the night.
One year later, Wang Qianru took him back to his hometown in Guizhou. Seeing the crumbling stone house at his girlfriend's house and the sickly old father at home, Xiao Yukai was heartbroken. He quickly took out several hundred dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the elderly, so that he would go to the hospital if he felt uncomfortable, and don't be reluctant to bear the money.

Xiao Yukai’s thoughtful and sensible, Wang Daddy saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He took his daughter’s hand and kept saying: "This is a good boy, you You must cherish it."
A few days later, Xiao Yukai returned to Wuhan with his girlfriend. Seeing his simple dress on his girlfriend, he took her to buy some fashionable new clothes. It was also that day, Wang Qianru handed over to him completely, and the two officially started living together.
In early 2009, Xiao Yukai received a call from his girlfriend's hometown saying that his prospective father-in-law had died of a heart attack.
He hurried back to his hometown in Guizhou with his girlfriend, and as Wang Qianru's boyfriend, he helped take care of the funeral of his prospective father-in-law.
The neighbors in the neighborhood in the village saw him so busy, they all sighed that Wang Qian was like a good fate. Without his father, he found a good man who could be trusted for life. Xiao Yukai swore from the bottom of his heart that he would do more to treat her better.
After finishing the affairs of the prospective father-in-law, Xiao Yukai returned to Chongqing with his girlfriend. Xiao's mother learned that her daughter-in-law had just lost her husband, and felt very sorry for her.
Wang Qianru is also very good at being a human being, Xiao's mother said so, she simply called them "Godmother, Godmother".She also took the initiative to help Xiao's mother take care of the housework and take care of the elderly. Relatives and friends came to see her and praised her as a rare good daughter-in-law.
Soon after, Xiao Yukai discussed with his parents and decided to send Wang Qianru back to Guizhou Guiyang No. 2 Middle School to repeat.
Before leaving, Xiao's mother took out 5000 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it to Wang Qianru, so that she could go back to school and study at ease and don't feel wronged. All the care of her family will be arranged for her.
Wang Qianru choked on Xiao's hand and promised: "If I successfully enter the university, I will marry Yukai after graduation. I will definitely give you a few more fat grandchildren at that time."
Send my girlfriend to school Later, Xiao Yukai changed his job and moved to a toy factory in Zhongshan, Guangdong as a technician, and his salary increased from more than 4,000 to more than 5,000. Every month, apart from leaving some money for meals, he deposits all the other money in the card to pay for Wang Qianru's tuition.

From Guiyang to Zhongshan, a total of more than 1,000 kilometers, but the long distance did not interrupt the love between the two. Xiao Yukai and Wang Qianru would call each other several times a week to sympathize with each other. Even how many places in the school were tested and what the teacher praised her, Wang Qianru would share everything with Xiao Yukai in every detail.
His girlfriend's hard work also deeply affected Xiao Yukai. In order to improve his girlfriend's life, he worked in the workshop until midnight almost every day, and the overtime allowance was also the most earned in the factory.
During that period, Wang Qianru would come to Zhongshan to find Xiao Yukai during every small holiday.

When he goes to work, she cooks and cleans for him at home; when he rests, the two go out to watch movies, walks, and chat. Xiao Yukai was immersed in sweet love and couldn't help himself. He always wanted to give her a little more, and a little more.
In the summer of 2010, Wang Qianru successfully passed the journalism major of Beijing Foreign Studies University. Xiao Yukai returned to Chongqing with his girlfriend and the admission notice to confess his parents, Xiao's father and Xiao mother happily prepared a large table of dishes.Took friends and family to celebrate together.
During the dinner, Wang Qianru held up a wine glass and promised again to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother: to get married after graduation, she will be filial to them to repay today's kindness and coax Xiao's father and mother to close their mouths happily.
The tuition and miscellaneous fees for a year of university cost more than 6,000 yuan, plus the living expenses are at least 20,000 yuan a year. These Xiao Yukai and his parents will prepare for Wang Qianru in advance every year.
Worried that his girlfriend would be looked down upon when he goes to school if his girlfriend is too modest in dress, Xiao Yukai also took the initiative to help her buy a laptop and various clothes and cosmetics.
After sending her to school to complete the formalities, Xiao Yukai is ready to leave for Zhongshan to work. Before getting on the bus, Wang Qianru kissed him farewell in front of her schoolmates. His girlfriend's enthusiasm and initiative dispelled Xiao Yukai's last worries.
After returning to Zhongshan, Xiao Yukai's pressure was even greater. His girlfriend had to spend money everywhere in college, and the meager salary alone was not enough to provide her with a quality life.
In desperation, Xiao Yukai began to work part-time in other companies to help, in order to earn more extra money. Wang Qianru is also very sensible, and always spends her spare time as a tutor in her spare time in college, so as to reduce the burden on the Xiao family as much as possible.

Every winter and summer vacation, she will come to Zhongshan to stay with Xiao Yukai for a while. Two people eat together, go shopping and watch movies together, looking forward to the future married life together.
Wang Qianru always said: "When I graduate, I will marry you, and you must wait for me."
On National Day 2013, Xiao Yukai went to Beijing to visit Wang Qianru, and happened to ran into her who was distributing flyers on the street to earn extra money. Xiao Yukai looked at the black and thin girlfriend under the scorching sun, his face was dripping with big beads of sweat, and he was distressed.
He quickly walked over, took the flyer from his girlfriend, drove her to rest in the shade, and started doing it himself. After he was busy, he repeatedly told: "You will study at school with peace of mind in the future. Don't do part-time jobs anymore. It's me who makes money."
One year later, Wang Qianru graduated from Beijing Foreign Language School. Because of her excellent academic performance, she received an acceptance letter from the American State University at Abney for a master's degree in journalism.
Seeing his girlfriend's hopeful gaze, Xiao Yukai was very entangled. Wang Qianru put his arms around his shoulders and said softly: "Wait for me, okay? I will be your bride when I come back. If I give up this rare and precious opportunity, I will definitely regret it in the future."
Xiao Yukai doesn't want his girlfriend to have any regrets , Tried to persuade her parents to support her studying abroad. In order to support his girlfriend's study, Xiao Yukai also went to the bank to mortgage the marriage house prepared for him by his parents. Together with his parents' savings, he collected 400,000 yuan for her to study abroad.
Xiao's father and Xiao's mother are holding a bank card, and they are very worried that the money will be lost. They tried to persuade their son to get the certificate before giving the money. But Xiao Yukai has repeatedly insisted that his girlfriend has long been a part of the family, and he doesn't need to be so clear. Persuasion to no avail, they had no choice but to agree.
There is a time difference of several hours at home and abroad. After Wang Qianru went abroad, Xiao Yukai usually waited for her to call, and rarely took the initiative to call and disturb her.
In addition to phone calls, Xiao Yukai also received many letters from her. In the letter, she always tells her thoughts of herself over and over again, and shares the customs and interests of foreign countries.
The distance between home and abroad is too far, and the letter from my girlfriend cannot be mailed back directly. Every time I can only ask the girl who goes abroad with her, so that she can bring it back when she returns to China to visit relatives.
As Wang Qianru spent more and more time abroad, Xiao Yukai also waited from 31 to 39 years old. Within a few years, he was the only one who married people of the same age around him and gave birth to children.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother thought of the prospective daughter-in-law who had taken the family's savings and hadn't returned for a few years, so she was too anxious. She urged Xiao Yukai several times to get people back to get married, but they were all caught He stopped one by one.
When Wang Qianru was a third-year student, gradually the number of phone calls and letters became less, and even later there were no letters. It took a few weeks for the phone to be answered.
Xiao Yukai thought that his girlfriend was preparing her graduation thesis and the classes were busy, so he was not willing to blame her, but the money he called her became more frequent.
In the summer of 2016, Wang Qianru returned from studying in the United States. According to past habits, Xiao Yukai would go to the station to pick her home every time she came back. And this time,She told Xiao Yukai that she had to settle down first, and the two would meet again when the place was settled.
Xiao Yukai felt very disappointed, thinking that he had waited for eight years, so he endured it.
A few days later, Xiao Yukai received a call from an unfamiliar number. The girl on the other end of the phone claimed to be a graduate student of his girlfriend.
She complained on the phone: "I really can't stand it anymore! When Qianru was a senior, she talked with a boyfriend behind her back at school. The boy went to study with the boy for 4 years in graduate school. Her parents helped arrange her job in Nanjing, and now the two are about to get engaged."

Xiao Yukai suddenly learned the truth, the whole person was stunned, and he bought it overnight. I got a ticket and rushed to Nanjing.
The next day, he successfully met Wang Qianru at the address provided by the girl. Seeing Xiao Yukai's sudden appearance, Wang Qianru was obviously very surprised.
Faced with Xiao Yukai's question, she confessed in tears. She said that she wanted to use marriage as a condition to find someone for her to go to college.
At first she planned to marry him after graduation, but as her horizons gradually widened, she gradually found that the gap between the two people was getting bigger and bigger, and it was simply not suitable to continue to be together.
Xiao Yukai's lungs were blown up when he heard his girlfriend's words. He angrily asked his girlfriend when he was going to marry him, but his girlfriend said that they are no longer suitable now. If he forces him to marry, she will agree, but she will definitely not be happy in the future. If he is willing to let her go, the money she has spent before will slowly go to work and earn it back to him.
His girlfriend's words are like piercing a sharp knife on Xiao Yukai's heart. He wants to pull his girlfriend back to Guiyang to get married, but he is unwilling to bring back only a shell. In a muddle-headed manner, Xiao Yukai returned to his hometown in Chongqing alone.
After Xiao's mother learned the truth, she became very angry. Although she knows that strong twisted melons are not sweet, she is really unwilling to bring her family bankruptcy to cultivate a good daughter-in-law for someone else's family. She still wants to let her come back and marry her son quickly, and then slowly cultivate her feelings.
The student who revealed the information said: Wang Qianru has long been accustomed to the white-collar life in big cities.It is impossible to really want to come back and get married.
After several struggles, Xiao Yukai still gritted his teeth and gave up to find his girlfriend. Two months later, under the introduction of relatives, he married a female teacher in the same village. After marriage, Xiao Yukai took advantage of his experience of studying in big cities over the past few years to start a new era of animal husbandry, and his small life became more and more prosperous.
As for Wang Qianru, he didn't pay attention to it any more, nor did he deliberately inquire about it. It was only then that she accidentally heard that her prospective mother-in-law didn't like her from a small city, and she finally failed to fly to the branch and become a phoenix.
