The Most Simple Wish

"Qiuhe, is your name Qiuhe?" Tao Huizhen gets rid of the long memory. Looking at the girl with big eyes in front of her. In the afternoon, the golden sun shone on her long hair. Her whole body seems to be covered with a layer of golden light.

For a moment, the girl seemed to forget where she was. With a bamboo basket in her hand, her time is still. A halo of sunlight came straight into her eyes. Rub your eyes and look again. The missionary woman from the city. Like the rising sun every day. Reality and reality appeared in the narrow road in front of her house. She is like an unexpected guest in her life, so suddenly appeared in her side. It's like a dream. Qiuhe looks at Tao Huizhen, but his mind drifts to the unknown distance.

She needs a certain amount of time to adapt to what's happening.

Tao Huizhen is waiting for Qiu He's reply. At the same time, she moved her eyes affectionately and slowly, looking at every place where Qiuhe lived. Careful taste is a scene that can overlap with what Mr. Li said. The peeling of the wall shows how old the old house is, and there are obvious traces of rain on the walls inside the door. Let Tao Huizhen know that in the rainy season, Qiuhe's house will leak rain. She looked into the window, and the narrow atmosphere came to her face. Tao Huizhen realized that when night came, there was no light in the hut and the air was sultry. When Qiu he lay flat on the bed.

This is a house that makes people feel sad, a courtyard that makes people feel empty. The temple on the opposite side of the road, the sound of the bell rang faintly. The chirp of birds, the tenderness of the wind. Tao Huizhen realized the poor life of an orphan for many years. Slowly spread out in front of her.

Qiu He is holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and the broken wild vegetables are about to spill out. The white duck quacked. The girl's frozen cheek. All this is like a realistic rural oil painting.

The girl in front of her is the spiritual pillar of this place called "home", and also the survival support of her grandparents. Tao Huizhen thinks that Mr. Li and Mr. Wang have visited here many times before. The results are not satisfactory. It is not a simple task to take away the spiritual support of the two old people. They have to face some choices. If there were any other way, she would not. However, compared with Qiu He's ability to read, Tao Huizhen's choice is much easier.

"I am, I am Qiuhe." Qiu he suddenly replied.

With a positive answer, Tao Huizhen can finally walk in from the open door. The gate of the courtyard was about to tilt under the wind and rain. Tao Huizhen said to Qiuhe, "my name is Tao Huizhen. I came to Dai Township from other places. I have been a teacher in dachacun primary school for one and a half years. We met last night. Your peacock dance is wonderful. "

"I know you." Qiu He looks at Tao Huizhen closely and looks at her from all angles.

"Is it?" Tao Huizhen felt a little bit sunburned. I blocked the sun with my hands. Fall the vision on the face of autumn lotus, she seems to completely don't care about the sun, handsome face son sun black. And face out of proportion to the big eyes, as if plated with a layer of water. The waves are moving.

"Yes, I know you. I knew it the first day you came here. The people of the village went to meet you. I feel that you will change a lot of things here. You are the teacher of those kids. It's from that moment on that group of little kids have more superiority, right? It's the external environment that gives them that illusion. How can they know my happiness? They don't know anything. After all, it's still a group of children who haven't grown up. "

Tao Huizhen's eyes are full of amazing light. Her lips trembled and she couldn't help but smile. It was really the kind of girl she could imagine. All her features are in line with Tao Huizhen's previous imagination of her. Short hair, precocious, maverick, unassuming, and powerful words. All these qualities, only appear in her body, will appear to be taken for granted.

The reason why a Liang beat the little elephant foot drum for her, what did a Liang say to her and where did he go. Tao Huizhen doesn't really want to know. Those meaningless things, do not have to ask a mature person.

If a fish is not a son, how can you know the joy of a fish. Qiuhe has no culture, but she easily expounds the point of view contained in this sentence. Unexpectedly, there is such a girl in dacha village, which is different from all the girls. In any case, Tao Huizhen can't imagine that it came from the mouth of a thirteen or fourteen year old girl. She really surprised her.

"Well, you're right. I'm ashamed that you know me so well. But I only heard about you today. Autumn lotus is a person, with grandparents depend on each other, right? It must not be easy

"Do you want to sit down? I'll take the duck's wild vegetables. It has not been eaten for a long time. It's the time to lay eggs. "

"No, you're busy. I would like to have a look. The pole. That's it from there. This courtyard seems to have been isolated intentionally. There is no electric light. Is it darker in the house at night than in the yard? Qiuhe is very busy every day, right? It looks like you need to get everything done before dark. "

"I'm used to it. I learned to work in the dark. I can do all the household chores in the dark. I do what I do every day. Then look after my grandparents and go to bed. Put the glutinous rice you want to eat the next day into the pot and soak it well. I wash my hair in cold water. Wash your feet with warm water. It's all done in the dark. Finally, I will dance peacock dance in this corner of the yard, right here. I don't care what others think of me, because I'm always dancing by the stars, and no one will pay attention to me. You're right. The yard at night is much brighter than my house. Dancing. In fact, I really hope I can go outside and dance with the drums and gongs of everyone, because I think those accompaniments are played for my Qiuhe. Although it's not, no one can stop me from dancing with that sound. My ears are very smart. I'm satisfied with that feeling. It's like using free musicians. "

Tao Huizhen slightly points her chin. She thought about the feeling of Qiuhe dancing under the stars at night. He also looked up at the sky of Dai township. And there are countless footprints on the ground“ When dancing in the yard, is there no accompaniment? That is to say, your accompaniment is ringing in your heart. In fact, to put it bluntly, you are humming, right? What kind of music do you usually play for peacock dance Tao Huizhen asked curiously.

"Sometimes it's" Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight ", sometimes it's" Golden Peacock ", and there are Dai Folk Songs, which can't be named." Qiu he replied fluently.

Tao Huizhen looked down at the eaves and saw a row of round bamboo screens on which the tea leaves were still green. That was one of the tea making steps of the Dai people. It was called sun drying. Without changing the color of tea, the water in green leaves was evaporated.

"Did you do all this?" Tao Huizhen asked, "are you the one who takes care of the tea fields at home? Are you tired? "

"Tired, what do you want to do when you come to my house today?" Qiu he asked.

"Want to go to school? Autumn lotus. " Qiu He's words are straightforward, and Tao Huizhen doesn't hide her intention.

"I want to."

"I will communicate with your grandparents and let you go to dachacun primary school without spending a cent. As long as you study hard. You are old enough to study. I came to you just to let you read. "

"It's no use."

"Why?"

"Old man Li has been here, the men in the county and Dao Xiaotong. But they couldn't convince my grandparents. They don't seem to have a good idea. I also know that I can't leave. Qiuhe is the pillar of this family. I can't abandon my grandparents. "

Tao Huizhen looked at the beam of the old house. All the conversations with Qiuhe are mixed up in my mind. Tao Huizhen straightened her chest and said, "Qiuhe, do you believe me? Let me try. It's not too late for you to start reading now. With knowledge and culture, you will become better. "

Qiu He looks at Tao Huizhen's eyes which are red. Swallowed mouth saliva, voice choked said: "I still can't write their own name."
