The Most Simple Wish

When the glutinous rice is cooked, the edge of the lid emits a strong glutinous fragrance. If you smell it with your heart, you can also smell the sweet taste of potato. Dao Xiaotong lifted the lid of the pot and put the glutinous rice and potato into the bowl separately. The potato was peeled and dried. The glutinous rice was drenched with a little water to make it crystal. She does this almost without thinking or watching. She is as good as the palm of her hand, as if she was born to deal with housework, and she is the material. In other words, she was born to be a good cook. She handled everything in good order.

Dao Xiaotong always pays attention to the cut pork on the other side, which is an extra surprise meal today. She hoped that Mr. Tao and Mr. Li would be happy because of this. We haven't had good food for a long time. At this time, not far away from dachacun primary school came the buzzing sound of Gong, which must be a signal from Mr. Tao to the students in the afternoon class. She couldn't help but get busy.

On the issue of tea waste in Dai Township and the troubles brought by it for many years, tea collectors have more original ideas. The tea merchants once suggested to the tea farmers that after making the best part of the tea tree into the best quality dry tea (green tea), the remaining slightly sprout shoots with a little taste could be made into black tea and Puer with another kind of technology. Some slightly mature tea is most suitable for making mature tea, not only will not affect the taste of tea because of the quality of buds, but it is just right. The raw materials used in cooked tea should be like that, which is the most suitable. The advantages of this proposal are obvious. It is more appropriate for tea farmers to turn waste into treasure. In addition to the original quality tea, we can get a part of the income of cooked tea.

If you think about it carefully, this is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. At that time, many tea farmers in Dai Township were moved by this pertinent proposal, but the ultimate reason why they didn't take action was that they didn't make black tea and Pu'er tea besides the traditional green tea technology. For this reason, the dilemma faced by tea farmers in Dai township has been punctured. They can't get over the tea making process. A good tea can't be made by imagination. It needs exquisite skills. In more than ten years, no one broke the rules and still worked hard on the traditional production of green tea. If we really want to turn waste into treasure, give consideration to green tea and black tea, and increase production and income, the tea road of Dai Township still has a long way to go. Of course, this distance may become especially available because of a certain time.

Fortunately, no matter how slow or fast, the days are always developing for the better. In fact, the harvest and price of autumn tea this year are not bad, which has improved significantly compared with previous years. This is the good weather and bumper harvest of Dai people.

For this reason, dacha village is constantly singing and dancing in the harvest days, which shows the unique lively atmosphere and local culture of Dai nationality. They sang and danced in peace and celebrated the peaceful and prosperous times with dancing. When the elephant's foot drum is sounded and the bonfire is lit, those festive scenes reappear one by one in the harvest season.

In the past, it was impossible to eat meat dishes depending on the food provided by the students' parents in turn. A few eggs were already the most sincere wishes of the students' parents in dacha village to the students in the school. In the city, eggs are no longer expensive, but in the poor Dai Township, eggs are not a kind of food that people can eat if they want to. It's a precious thing with special significance in people's eyes - warm, loving, caring and respectful - when Dai people express these feelings, they often use eggs as a medium. Remember, you can't make a big fuss. If you do these things quietly, you can always warm your heart.

Once, yu'er's parents buried three eggs in glutinous rice, secretly put them in the kitchen of the small bamboo house, and left quietly. That time, Tao Huizhen three people ate hot boiled eggs. Another time, maybe there were not enough eggs. Among the two eggs, there was a duck egg. These three eggs were also placed under the glutinous rice, but they created a different kind of emotion. That time, Tao Huizhen's eyes moistened as she ate.

Sometimes, the child was wronged, the mother will be cooked eggs quietly into the child's pocket, told the child to eat when greedy. No matter how hard and tired she was, she was never willing to eat an egg. Wazi realized the temperature of the egg from her pocket and the selfless care of her mother. There is nothing more unforgettable than this egg.

These events can fully illustrate the status of eggs in Dai People's mind, and those scenes of moving, and Dai People's life into one. Pork is a luxury food that can't be expected. But this year, the problem may have changed a little bit, making the impossible possible. The overall economy of Dai township has been slightly improved, and the lines of the trend chart are slowly rising. Although people in Dai Township do not know the specific reasons for the economic improvement, just as they do not know the root cause of poverty - there are many reasons for the economic improvement, for example, the Poverty Alleviation Office has been working hard, more departments in Mengla County are doing their best, and more people are working day and night for it. Of course, there is also the rise of the economic level of the whole country. Perhaps there are some reasons for this. In any case, people in Dai township have felt this change on the spot.

It will be fine. Tao Huizhen firmly believes that. Dao Xiaotong believes every word of teacher Tao.

Today's pork was sent by Wu Huiyan's parents. Tao Huizhen takes the children of dachacun primary school as her own. Wu Huiyan's parents also see the free contribution of Li Lao and Dao Xiaotong. As a parent, he can't turn a blind eye to these three people who insist on the cause of education. All year round, Wu Huiyan bought a piece of meat and left some of it at home. Wu Huiyan's parents took into account the difficulty of the three adults in the school and sent the pork. This warmth and joy, he also wants to let the three people share.

The meat is as thin as paper and translucent. Because it's hard to come by, Dao Xiaotong tries her best to make the meat the best. I thought I couldn't spoil it. After the sliced meat is put in the bamboo tube, a proper amount of star anise, chili, salt and Tammy are added. Then Dao Xiaotong pushed the bamboo tube into the pot and closed the lid. Just wait for the delicious food to come out of the pot.

Dao Xiaotong is waiting for the steamed meat to come out of the pot, and also waiting for Tao Huizhen to come back for dinner. Wang Ke member walked into dacha village without warning. When he went straight to Dao Xiaotong's direction, Dao Xiaotong was unprepared.

The smell of steamed meat is full of fragrance. Dao Xiaotong thought in her heart, is member Wang here for lunch? How did he know there was something delicious today?

"Mr. Wang, you are still four yuan short of me. Do you remember?" Dao Xiaotong reaches out her hand to member Wang. The Frank facial expression is reflected in the eyes of Wang Ke Yuan. Similarly, the glass like surface of her eyeball also reflects Wang Ke Yuan's cold and stern expression.

However, she did not pay attention to Wang Ke Yuan's expression.

Looking at Dao Xiaotong's thick hair braid on his shoulder. There is also a stretch of the palm of the hand. Mr. Wang was silent. He put his hand into his trousers pocket, took out his wallet and opened it. There were only three ten yuan notes in it. He pinched it in his hand and put it into Xiaotong's palm: "take it, these are my own belongings."

"Whose? I don't want the money from Mr. Wang. I only want 4 yuan from you. It's not time to pay the subsidy. " Dao Xiaotong looks at the coin in her palm and imagines that she has already saved hundreds of yuan. A little makes a lot. In two years, she had spent almost no money. Tao Huizhen said that was the key to her wish. If she could not move, she would not move. She believes in Tao Huizhen.

Soon, in three years, we can save enough money to travel. Dao Xiaotong thought expectantly. It's outside the Dai village.

"There is no subsidy, Dao Xiaotong. Our unit does not have enough support to continue to give you the ability of subsidies. I'm here to inform you. From today on, you can only help the education point of dacha village free of charge. There's no way. You can't stop doing it. At least you can eat here, can't you? If you think about it, you can figure out that each of us is just trying to have enough to eat. I hope you can accept the facts. " Deeply aware of Dao Xiaotong's sudden drastic breathing changes, Wang turned his face elsewhere. He tried to keep his tone serious and business like. He didn't want to let his emotions get in the way of his work“ Teacher Dao, although it's only 30 yuan, even 30 yuan, as long as no one approves, I can't continue to pay you. Li's subsidy has never been lower. Only Tao, a teacher from the city, has a salary of more than 100 yuan, which she deserves. She hasn't been home in Dai township for more than two years, which is extraordinary. It's very good that you've taken it for more than two years. Now the Education Bureau has more places to invest. We are dedicated to compulsory education. We must have some awareness. That's it. "Teacher Dao."

"What are you talking about?" To Dao Xiaotong, Wang's voice is getting smaller and farther away. Rather, his voice in Dao Xiaotong sounds like it came from the bottom of the deep valley, cold and empty.

Her whole body's blood flows back quickly, the arteries on her neck beat violently, and her viscera are burning hot. She wants to vomit, and the feeling of squeezing in her stomach is very uncomfortable and hot. The limbs are extremely cold. She smelled a burning smell. Her cheeks, as if drained of all the blood, white as if coated with a few layers of flour. She fell over the stove.

Mr. Wang was still unable to withstand the ups and downs of emotion, and his voice became excited: "this is not what I want to see, Mr. Dao. I know it's very sudden. I know who you are He knows that Dao Xiaotong often can't understand things. One thing needs to think for a long time, and the sudden change of things she is used to will have a great impact on her, even fatal. But he has no better way at the moment.

Dao Xiaotong felt the whirl in front of her. She had difficulty breathing, and there was a smell of burning in the air. She did not know why she had become like this. Wang's voice became more distant and blurred. It turned out to be a noisy background. After a while, Tao Huizhen's voice sounded, and Li Lao's voice emerged. Qiu He's dance rotated rapidly frame by frame, making a buzzing sound. It has been more than two years since Mr. Tao came to Dai township. In contrast to Mr. Tao, her existence has become dispensable. She is only a cook, and she also has a subsidy of 30 yuan, which once made her sleep and sleep.

She was afraid that if she lost the job, her wish would not be fulfilled. The dream of taking a look at the big city has supported her in the past two years. From the day she had a dream, she felt that she was living a different life“ Everyone lives to have enough to eat. "She doesn't think that Wang's words are reasonable. She expected that such a day would come, and it did come. But she can't blame Tao Huizhen, it's not Tao Huizhen's problem, it's not Wang's problem. She didn't know what the problem was, but she lost everything she had.

"Dao Xiaotong, take 30 yuan as your last month's subsidy. Do you hear me?"

Wang felt that from the moment he informed Dao Xiaotong of the news, Dao Xiaotong was like a doll who had lost the lead. She was staring at the three banknotes in her palm, and there was no more movement. Even the rolling of her eyes never existed. There was no sound coming from the throat. Although she felt as if she was making a sound and acting, she had lost that ability.

Mr. Wang also smelled the smell of burnt. He realized that the food in the pot was probably burnt. He took the initiative to take out the burnt bamboo tube. What kind of food was that? He can't see. He can't eat any more. He poured water on the bottom of the dry pan and rolled up his sleeves to clean up the mess. Mouth toward such as frozen in situ Dao Xiaotong whispered: "yes, you have too much suffering. Dragging such inconvenient legs and feet of you, a person grew up to now. But that didn't knock you down. Teacher Dao is also a strong and optimistic person. I believe you can convince yourself to face the future life. It's time for us to think more about it. Even if we don't have any subsidies to work here, we can't guarantee that we will be able to achieve the final goal. This is not your destination, nor is it the destination for any of us. I heard that Dao Xiaotong has plans to go to the big city outside? I think that's a good idea“ Big cities have more opportunities. " Mr. Wang cleaned up the kitchen and washed his hands in the basin. His eyes stayed on Dao Xiaotong's back for a long time, sighed and left.

Tao Huizhen, who came across from the bamboo building, just saw the figure of Wang Ke Yuan who had left. He also seems to have experienced a fight, faltering, and gradually integrated into the red clay road in the distance. Dao Xiaotong, like the person in the painting, is fixed in the shadow of the house in front of the door of the small bamboo building.
