The Most Simple Wish

Another thing happened in March.

Wang came to dacha village, still dressed in the usual Navy Blue waist suit. He was still standing in front of the door of the small bamboo house, staring at Dao Xiaotong cooking in the open-air kitchen without disturbing. The scene seems familiar. Dao Xiaotong is not cooking meat this time. Just ordinary vegetables.

This time he came here mainly to inform Dao Xiaotong that from next month, Dao Xiaotong's 30 yuan subsidy can be paid monthly as before, so that she can do her current work at ease. Wang said in particular. Whether she is cooking or taking the place of a teacher. They are all bricks and tiles of compulsory education in dachacun primary school. It is great and praiseworthy to make contributions to the cause of education. People won't turn a blind eye to her or forget her. But at the same time, the road is full of hardships, so she should continue to work hard.

At this point, the subsidy stopped for several months, and after twists and turns, it began to enter the original track. What is lost and recovered is the continuation of the original dream. But for Dao Xiaotong, it is no longer as indispensable as she imagined.

In the extraordinary period of these months, she has passed the deep winter of thought and ushered in the spring of recovery. She has learned to hide her dreams in the depths. The road to the realization of the ultimate dream doesn't have to be straight, but within the expectation. If it can't be completed in three years, it will be five years. If it can't be completed in five years, it will be three years. She finally understood the meaning of having a dream. Having a dream is different from realizing it. As long as we keep going in that direction, with confidence and perseverance. This process is the meaning of having dreams. There are many other shores she can't reach at present, but she arrived early in spirit. After confusion and suffering, her spirit has been greatly sublimated.

After Wang's speech, Dao Xiaotong can't help looking at Tao Huizhen, who is standing in the distance and happy for her. Tao Huizhen is waiting for lunch, while taking a short time to think. Dao Xiaotong thought that it was the man who taught her these principles. Tao Huizhen said that the important thing is not to achieve a certain purpose. That kind of dream is too utilitarian. Easy to lose direction, can't see clearly under the feet. To move forward, keep moving forward, but also as far as possible to take the current every step. She also said that getting close to her dream day by day is also a very happy thing that can motivate her.

So Dao Xiaotong believes Tao Huizhen. She always believes everyone's words without reservation. So she has a new definition and thinking about dream. In those days when there was no subsidy and it looked bad, she kept on going. She carefully saw the foot. She felt real joy, unprecedented. She knew that as long as she didn't stop, good things would be waiting for her. Even if she can't get there, she thinks that the closer she gets, the better it will be. Once the mentality changed fundamentally, she became fearless.

Now, she is eligible for the subsidy again. But she meant it as icing on the cake. It's nice to get, but she's no longer afraid of losing.

Before he left, Mr. Wang put his eyes on Tao Huizhen and stopped for a moment. They were 50 meters apart, and Tao Huizhen was looking at them. He still remembers that a few months ago, Tao Huizhen went to the County Education Bureau alone to ask for a subsidy for Dao Xiaotong. She explained Dao Xiaotong's difficulty. He has lived up to this request. After some hard work, he finally got the result. As everyone knows, he also heaved a sigh of relief. In recent days, he often fell into insomnia and couldn't help thinking about why people live. He calmly thought that the key role played by Tao Huizhen in it should become a secret forever. No one would know the efforts made by teacher Tao behind his back. But that doesn't seem to matter. No one is paying attention to these details, and time is still moving forward. Since it's time to turn some stories over, it's time to turn them over.
