The Most Simple Wish

In a small village, day and night alternate, from the morning when the sun rises above the horizon to the evening when the sun falls below the horizon. From mist to smoke. Day after day, time goes by.

Dacha village is located in the hinterland of the mountains, not to mention how beautiful scenery, picturesque. The stream flows to the depth, and the bamboo building with hanging feet protrudes from the green wood. The golden roof of the small temple is shining in a different light. Like small black spots, the figures of the Dai people are scattered in the fields of terraces, village roads, and beside the Qingxi River... It is not a paradise. It is not close to mountains and rivers, there are no ancient houses on the River, there are no boats on the water, and there are no ancient bridges across the river banks. There are no rivers here. But dacha village is a quiet place. How quiet is it? Sometimes, Tao Huizhen is not aware of the flow of time. In this isolated place, the concept of time tends to blur, and the air sometimes seems to solidify. Even more sometimes, Tao Huizhen stood on the platform for several consecutive lectures, and occasionally looked out of the window at a corner of the tree shadow. In a flash, there was a feeling of going back in time. The platform under her feet became her old stage. Suddenly, she seemed to return to an afternoon many years ago. The students under the stage became her audience in the past. She was stunned on the spot. The light and shadow were mottled and overlapped in her eyes. The light turned into a string of small circles, and she fell into the silence for a long time.

She still often thought of the stage, the curtain hanging high on the top of the stage, and the corridor behind the photo wall with photos on both sides.

After thinking about it, she realized that some things had indeed fallen into the dust of history. The fact that she was a dancer was three years ago. She is now a qualified supporting teacher and a life mentor for many children. She guides children's values and world outlook with her vision and insight.

At the same time, she also teaches Qiu He to dance. Every night after class, both of them go to places where they are not disturbed and insist on learning and practicing dance. Time starts in at least two hours. In Tao Huizhen's words, only time can produce miracles. The type of dance is not limited to the peacock dance, and not limited to the action of "shape, spirit, strength and law". If you want to put the national dance on the stage, solid basic skills are essential. Similarly, you need to have the knowledge of dance theory to support. On this point, Tao Huizhen is particularly strict with Qiuhe. Thought is the root of action. Dance without thought has no soul. There is no art without thought. The reason why art becomes art is that it expresses the aesthetic feeling, and also states the ideology between the lines or in every word and deed.

Once dance is regarded as the goal rather than a hobby, it can no longer be Qiu He's "way" to relieve stress. It's totally different from the peacock dance under the stars. I'm more tired than I thought, and I'm under pressure. Her teacher is more tired than her. After a day's hard work, she will have a dance class alone, explain her dance theory and demonstrate the core essence of stage performance. It's more difficult to do this step than just understatement

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, their efforts are likely to be in vain. For a long time, both Tao Huizhen as a dance teacher and Qiu He as a dance student were not understood. Some people have noticed them. Forced by Tao Huizhen, they all choose silence. But in private, the villagers all shook their heads and sighed, saying that Mr. Tao really took a detour this time. Although Tao Huizhen has predicted many correct things and made many correct choices. During her three years in dacha village, she not only made achievements in the education of school-age children. Her advanced thinking is deeply embedded in many people's hearts. Up to now, she has visited her home more than 300 times, and the number is increasing.

However, her decision to let Qiuhe learn dance was not recognized by many people, because Dai township is a good place for singing and dancing, and the people here have their own opinions on dance.

During this period, Mr. Li did not make any special comments, and neither did Mr. Wang nor Mr. Dao Xiaotong. Most people keep silent, but Tao Huizhen also understands the wavering light in her eyes from behind the silence.

One day, Tao Huizhen was walking along the narrow road in the village, in the opposite direction of dachacun primary school. There are villagers talking with her. They are ding Han's family. He told Tao Huizhen his views“ Tao Huizhen, Miss Tao, do you want to hear my opinion? My opinion must be that of all the people in the stockade. Would you like to listen to it? " It doesn't matter how Ding Han's family members jump to this topic. He patted his chest like a talker.

"All ears."

"My child's dance is very good! He can dance fish dance, elephant dance, elephant foot dance... Ha ha, I think he can dance well, and I also want to send him to learn dance. At that time, I looked back and found that other people's children can also dance well. This is the nation and hometown of dance. I was just as confused as you at that time. If I forgot to dance, it would play the role of dancing. It can't do anything

"If Dinghan had that talent, I would try to guide him. Your opinion is indeed the opinion of many people, but it's not my opinion. " Tao Huizhen said with a faint smile.

"Mr. Tao didn't understand me. You can't succeed. It's a waste of time. I'm sure my son won't do such a stupid thing. Don't be confused any more. You can't get any reward for wasting your body like this. On the other hand, at the learning level, I agree with you, Mr. Tao

"I can't help it. To be honest, I'm the one who made Qiuhe learn to dance. Now I don't have the right to say 'no, kid, don't dance anymore'. And I'm not reconciled to that. Thank you for your kindness. I'll stick to it. No matter how many people come to say that to me, the result will be the same. "

Tao Huizhen said, turned around, took a breath, and walked away. When Dinghan's family was still thinking about other words, she stopped again. Looking back, I said with a confident smile: "before I was a teacher, I was also a student of dance. It was really hard to learn dance. I had to be prepared to pay physically, mentally and in time. But once it's a dream, how can you give up

This sentence in the Dinghan family's ear constantly around and repeated. He just stood there, as if he had learned something in a moment. Tao Huizhen's small and powerful figure gradually shrinks into the sunset. That is actually an ordinary figure, a figure that people will not pay special attention to when and where they see it. Dinghan's family finally figured out the words to be spoken. His lips moved and tried to speak out, but there was no need to speak again.

Tao Huizhen walked all the way and quickened her pace. That night she was going to teach Qiuhe to dance. But that night, she was more firm in that belief. As she said, in the way of Qiuhe, maybe it also carries her wish. She thought, she must help Qiuhe to achieve. No matter how long it takes, no matter how lonely the road is, no one cares. It seems that how endless, have become no longer important.

Maybe it was a little late last night. It took a certain amount of time to teach autumn lotus, and I have to prepare lessons when I come back. Tao Huizhen doesn't remember when to lie down. When the lights were off, the moon was already in the middle of the sky. So I'm a little tired today.

While opening the textbook, she rubbed the position of her temple and urged herself to master the time tonight. She doesn't have a rest day to adjust her body's tiredness. She has to plan every minute. If the rhythm goes wrong, it's going to make a mess of everything. Tao Huizhen is very afraid of that kind of thing. The rhythm of her life is like the cog of the cog of the cog. If there is a problem in any link, it will bring serious consequences.

The reason why she can work orderly in a busy day is due to her ingenious plan. It's like she has to get up and dance at five o'clock and start cleaning in twenty minutes. One more minute, one less. They can't meet her requirements. So that the plan can run on schedule.

Just after the first class, several children began to turn their eyes to the window of the school building. Then more students did the same.

Tao Huizhen heard a very small noise, as if from the sky outside the school building. She unconsciously looked out of the window. There was no cloud in the sky. Suddenly she frowned, because the students who looked out of the window not only continued to look out of the window, but also stood up. What's more, a child sitting at the front table ran to open the door and looked out. Tao Huizhen's face has become ugly. What are these children doing. At the same time, the noise is clearer. Tao Huizhen has a premonition to put down the second class. Her face was burning hot, and she scanned the students on the rows of desks and chairs in the school building sternly. But before she spoke, the door was completely opened and all the children in the class ran out. Even Qiu He and yu'er, whom she trusted, and Wu Huiyan also participated in it.

"Son of a bitch." Tao Huizhen came out of the door.

She jumped off the platform, opened the door, and nearly tripped when she stepped over the threshold. In a hurry, she followed them all the way to the outside of dachacun primary school. The children quieted down and were looking up at a corner of the sky. The noise came from the sky.

Tao Huizhen slowly stops dragging and blocks the sunlight with her textbook. She tries to see it. The sunshine made her grin and squeeze her eyes. She saw it in the shaking sight. A very, very small plane passed in the air and headed north.

It turns out that these children came out to see the plane. In this way, it is rare to see airplanes in Dai township. It's better to say it's completely invisible. The miracle invention of human beings flying in the air can bring people more different experience than the flying birds and floating clouds. It's more real and more pure. Tao Huizhen read a kind of yearning emotion from the children's eyes, like staring at the balloon that she set off by herself. It's just like a chick who has just left the nest and learned to fly, looking forward to the whole world that has never been before. Tao Huizhen's unusual silence imagines herself as one of the children, the plane as a self flying balloon, and the bird who has just learned to fly. She did that for a while and imagined that she really had a very different psychological feeling. She thought, these lovely children, one day their dreams will come true. Although it will not be her who will accompany them through life. Of course, her dream will come true one day.

Tao Huizhen deeply thought that flying itself is not attractive, its attraction lies in seeing more widely. In the eyes of these children in dacha village, there is no doubt that they can fly over the mountains and see a more magnificent scene outside. In short, they yearn for the outside world.

Tao Huizhen hasn't left this small village in the mountains for many years, and she can't help staring at the "birds" disappearing in the clouds and sighing. When she was a child, she also looked up at the starry sky and yearned for the planes that rowed in the sky. She stood there, thinking of her childhood green appearance, and her figure at this time, overlapping in a piece. She looked back, looking back on a day nearly ten years ago. At that time, she had many dreams. Or a dancer, or a photographer, or a diver... But she never thought she would become a supporting teacher.

The plane soon disappeared from the air. The students of dachacun primary school were satisfied and took back their sight. Tao Huizhen also turned back at this moment. The children laughed, but Tao Huizhen secretly shed tears.

Tao Huizhen often tears, but rarely let her students see. Her tears come and go quickly. She didn't blame them when she learned that these little guys rushed out so recklessly in order to see the plane fly by. Rubbed rubs the red eye socket, her facial expression quite some joyfully sobs the implication.

"Where did the plane go?" A junior asked.

"It must have been in town. It's much bigger than Mengla County. " In the crowd, another child was still watching the plane disappear. I can't find it.

The junior asked, "why do airplanes fly?"

"Fool, don't you see it has wings? You have wings and you can fly too! " Ding Han said with pride.

Qiu He shakes her head. She is always in touch with these students as an adult. She said she had read about why airplanes fly in the book. It's not just about wings, it's about aerodynamics. She said very professionally: because the wings and engine of the aircraft provide lift for the aircraft, the aircraft can fly in the air.

"Qiu He is so powerful. He knows so much. Soon you will learn well. " Wu Huiyan claps her hands to praise. Since the "rescue little Peacock" incident, Qiu He's bravery has taken root in many students' hearts. From that time on, few people call her "orphan". What's surprising is that discrimination has disappeared from that moment.

Tao Huizhen is very happy about this, and Qiuhe is more willing to help these younger brothers and sisters as sisters. She is one or two years older than most of the children here, and has more experience of life than them. Once these children start to accept Qiuhe, everything seems to be easier. Autumn lotus she, but never forget oneself is "orphan" identity. I can't forget it.

When everyone was about to return to the school house, yu'er said sincerely: "sister Qiuhe has too little time, otherwise she will learn better than me sooner or later. But I sincerely wish you, Qiuhe elder sister, you have to dance well. You're going to be the best dancer. "

Tao Huizhen felt something stuck in her throat for a moment. There is something that you want to burst out of your chest, something you want to swallow from your mouth. When did she seem to have heard this sentence? She was so familiar with it. She covered her mouth with excitement, and she didn't know what kind of irresistible echo she sent out from the depth of her throat. She suddenly realized that the children had grown up.

……

Every night after class, Tao Huizhen and Qiu He's dancing career is still going on. At the same time, Tao Huizhen has never visited Qiuhe's house intermittently.

Qiuhe's grandmother always thinks that it is her best to let Qiuhe learn. She asked Tao Huizhen if there was any obvious change after Qiu he had studied for such a long time? So it's impossible for her to recognize Qiu He's going to learn dance.

Tao Huizhen went into Qiuhe's house again and again and came out again and again. Facing Qiuhe waiting for news outside, he shook his head again and again. Autumn lotus see teacher shake head, can't help but dejected. Because Tao Huizhen has come too many times in order to persuade her grandmother. In her heart also began to feel sorry. Say, autumn lotus is not a how sensitive person, Tao Huizhen gives her, she accepts. She was grateful in her heart, but she didn't say much about it. However, this time, she really felt the pressure from her heart from the inside out. She even said "forget it" to Tao Huizhen“ She doesn't want to give Tao Huizhen any more trouble. That's enough. She came to study hard and use it to change her fate. Tao Huizhen said, "what are you talking about?", Then she squatted on the roadside and fiddled with the grass leaves with her hands. She thought about the Countermeasures on her own.

During that time, Tao Huizhen lost a lot of weight, though not decadent. But frankly speaking, her ideological work to Qiuhe family has really baffled her. Some people say why should she? Now that Qiuhe is learning to dance, she doesn't have to ask her grandparents for permission. However, Tao Huizhen has Tao Huizhen's plan, and she can't break this agreement. First of all, Qiu He's behavior must be approved by her family. Second, the work of teaching dance to Qiuhe is a kind of help to Qiuhe, but she can't hurt her family for this reason. She has been against the wishes of Qiuhe's family, secretly teaching Qiuhe to dance. Maybe she walked into Qiuhe's house again and again and chatted with her grandmother, which was also an act of apology. She could not snatch away the spiritual support of her family. In addition, Tao Huizhen thinks that Qiuhe still needs more time to spend on peacock dance. At present, the "stolen" time is far from enough.

To sum up, Tao Huizhen has to do ideological work for Qiuhe's family.

On that day, she came to Qiuhe's house again, together with several students of Tao Huizhen, who volunteered to help the teacher.

Qiuhe's grandmother is leaning on a bamboo stick in the courtyard. Her face is facing the direction of her own tea terrace. She doesn't look back specially. Tao Huizhen often comes to visit at this time, which seems to be the norm.

"As a teacher, you are so responsible. However, I am also a responsible elder. Her grandfather can't talk. I can't stop talking. " Grandma said with her back to Tao Huizhen and her eyes fixed on her bamboo stick.

Tao Huizhen is familiar with this small courtyard. She did not rush to reply, there is still a little time, she picked up the rusty iron knife on the ground. In the box is the wild vegetables cut by Qiuhe in advance. Tao Huizhen has seen Li Lao and Qiuhe chop wild vegetables. She said nothing and began to work.

After chopping enough wild vegetables, she took them to the duck's trough and poured them in.

"What are you doing? That's the rough work. " Qiu He's grandmother has been staring at Tao Huizhen "bang bang" chopping wild vegetables. She didn't say anything until she stopped: "I don't agree with anything, since I've already said that."

"Qiuhe didn't delay his family's business. What are you hesitating about, grandma?" Tao Huizhen went back to the wild vegetables and the iron knife and chopped them again.

The old man's expression stagnated, the deep wrinkles on his face and the whole face had a momentary displacement. She doesn't understand the women from this city. She beat the ground with a bamboo stick: "enough, why do you chop so much. No matter how much you chop, there's only one duck

"I've been learning dance since I was a teenager. I have studied dance for ten years. I mainly study classical dance, folk dance and modern dance. Because both are dance arts, I can dance. Just because I am a student of dance, I know what kind of dance is rare and precious. National Dance contains a lot of traditional culture, among which peacock dance is the most important. As dancers, we should innovate and know how to protect the traditional culture. Now the traditional culture is at the critical moment of being washed away by the times. Peacock dance is listed in the national intangible cultural heritage. It makes a lot of sense for Qiuhe to jump. "

"No, I don't agree. No matter what you say, no matter how many times you say it, I won't agree. "

Tao Huizhen put down her iron knife and still squatted there. She looked up at the old man in front of her.

The old man then said, "because I'm Qiu He's grandmother, I can't let a foreigner think that she loves my granddaughter more than I do. In front of Qiuhe, her words are more effective than mine. No way. "

"Cough cough..." the old man coughed violently without expression. She moved in the direction of the house. She was always expressionless, as if she had a mask on her face. Tao Huizhen was stunned to see her move into the room. She wanted to help her, but she didn't listen, so she continued to squat there. Numbness came from the legs.

The voice came from the old man's mouth. "It's your business how many wild vegetables you are willing to chop. You didn't listen to my opinion, you have to come to me again and again to discuss. Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough

Rickety figure disappeared in the low hall door. Her words echoed in Tao Huizhen's ears. Tao Huizhen's legs became more numb. She stood several times without success. Several children came to pull her, but she still couldn't get up and simply lay on the ground. The figure of grandma Qiuhe came to my mind, and then the outline of the old man's face and clear voice. She looked at the mottled clouds in the air, and the light blue part of the cloud sometimes showed a corner. She suddenly understood her grandmother Qiu He's persistence and intention. She teaches Qiuhe dance every night in the village. As Qiuhe's grandmother, she can't be unaware of it. She said yes, she can't agree. It's not just a grandmother's insistence and responsibility to predict her granddaughter's future. It is the last trace of dignity that an old man can grasp.

Tao Huizhen didn't get the answer she wanted, but today it was much easier than before. She looked at the sky and thought, she will come again, again.
