Occasionally I heard such a story and I was very moved. I wrote it down in a hurry. Whether it is good or not, I hope more people will know, because it is indeed a very special and true story...
He and her met at a banquet, when she was young and beautiful, with many suitors around him, but he was a very ordinary person. Therefore, when the banquet was over and he invited her to have coffee, she was surprised, however, out of politeness, she agreed.
Sitting in the cafe, the atmosphere between the two people was very embarrassing, there was no topic, she just wanted to end as soon as possible. But when the lady brought the coffee, he suddenly said, "Thank you for bringing some salt. I'm used to putting some salt in my coffee." At that time, she was stunned, and the lady was stunned, everyone's eyes were focused. It reached him so much that his face was red.
The young lady brought the salt, he put a little bit in, and drank slowly. She is a very curious woman, so she asked him: "Why do you want to add salt?" He was silent for a while, and slowly said almost every word: "When I was young, my family lived by the sea. Always soaking in the sea, the waves hit, the sea water poured into the mouth, it was bitter and salty. Now, I haven't been home for a long time, adding salt to the coffee is a kind of homesickness, so as to bring the distance closer. ."
She was suddenly moved because this was the first time she heard a man say homesick in front of her. She believed that a man who was homesick must be a man who loves his family, and a man who loves his family must be a man who loves his family. She suddenly had a desire to talk. She told him about her hometown thousands of miles away. The cold atmosphere gradually became harmonious. The two chatted for a long time, and she did not refuse him to send her home.
Later, when the two people dated frequently, she discovered that he was actually a good man, generous, caring, and considerate, in line with all the characteristics that a good man should have that she admired. She secretly rejoiced, but thanks to the politeness of the time, she didn't pass him by. She took him to every cafe in the city, and every time she said, "Will you bring some salt, please? My friend likes to add salt to coffee." Later, as written in a fairy tale book The same, "The prince and the princess are married and have lived happily ever after." They really lived happily, and they lived for more than forty years, until he fell ill and died not long ago.
The story seems to be over, if there is no such letter.
The letter was written by him before his death, and he wrote to her: "Forgive me for deceiving you all the time. Do you remember the first time I asked you to drink coffee? The atmosphere was terrible. I was very uncomfortable and nervous. What I thought, I told the lady to bring some salt. In fact, I didn’t add salt. Since I said it at the time, I had to make a mistake. I didn’t expect it to arouse your curiosity. This time, let me drink the salt for half my life. Coffee of salt. There have been many times, I want to tell you, but I am afraid that you will be angry, and even more afraid that you will leave me because of this. Now I am finally not afraid, because I am about to die, the dead are always easy to forgive, Right? It’s my greatest happiness to have you in this life. If there is another life, I still hope to marry you, but I don’t want to drink salted coffee anymore. Salt is added to the coffee. You don’t know what that tastes like. It's terrible. Add salt to the coffee, how did I figure it out at the time!" The content of the letter surprised her, and she felt cheated. However, he didn't know, how much she wanted to tell him: "How happy she is that someone can do this kind of deception for her life...
