The Most Simple Wish

Holding Wenxiu's watch on her wrist, Tao Huizhen has had several dreams. From high school to university, dance is like a shadow around her. There are traces of dance everywhere in her life. The photos at the head of the bed, the dance clothes in the wardrobe, the dance shoes under the bed, the music in MP3, including the flexibility of her body... Dance runs through her whole youth.

Vaguely, she wakes up. She knows that she is half asleep and half awake. Dreams are also a part of her thoughts. Looking out of the window at the light shining in the sky, golden, as if she had been separated from the world, she can't help but raise her mouth and gaze hard at the rising sun. This is a new beginning.

From the northeast to the south of the train, slowly, across the city, into the mountains. The plants are also changing. The tall trees in the north are gradually getting lower, and more dense and greener shrubs are in their place. Along the way through numerous styles, from north to south, green train in China's territory cut a long north-south line.

As the temperature rose sharply, Tao Huizhen changed her sweater into a plaid shirt, thinking that she might not be able to wear such thick clothes in the future. Since we have chosen to take such a road, we have to go longer and farther. Forget about dance. It's better to take all the spirit that we used in dance to do supporting education. Although we are sorry for the efforts of the past years, we should be ready to start again at any time.

Large expanses of terraces come into view. Yunnan Province is full of mountains. Small villages are scattered in the cracks between the foot of the mountain and the terraces.

Tao Huizhen got off the train from Kunming station, and then took a small bus to Mengla County. The bus was very bumpy on the mountain road, and arrived at this small county at noon the next day.

Mengla County in early June, the weather has begun to get muggy.

After she got off the bus, she put her luggage under her feet and stood on the side of the road. At a glance, the dust on the gravel road was smoking. Mengla County City scattered with a few red and white buildings, mottled walls look old, few pedestrians on the road. Looking at the distance, the continuous green mountains wrapped the tiny county seat, foggy.

Tao Huizhen wiped the sweat from her forehead, belched her breath, and looked at the new environment with bright eyes. This is Dai township. Even the people who can see it have changed greatly in their dress. Their clothes are colorful, but they have a strong sense of simplicity and national culture. Here, the Dai population accounts for about 50% of the total population, which contains profound Dai culture.

In addition, there are Hani, Yi and Yao people, and the rest are mostly Han people. Wang, a member of the Education Bureau, is of the Han nationality. It's about ten minutes' walk from the center of the county to the bus station. After meeting with Mr. Li of dacha village, he came to the bus station to meet Tao Huizhen.

The bus station in Mengla County may not welcome a long-distance bus every day. The waiting room was built a few years ago. It's very old. It doesn't look like it. It leaks rain in rainy days. The word "station" of the station, which is crooked by the wind, is tottering.

"Mengla County has also been included in the key list by the Poverty Alleviation Office?" Mr. Li is holding the ox cart, and the scenery of the small county town comes into view. He has not entered the county town for quite a long time. If there were nothing important, people from dacha village would not come to the county three or two times a year. Dacha village is on the other side of dacha mountain, and it is the farthest village from the county. It was too laborious to come last time.

About seven or eight years ago, before the new millennium, Mr. Li often rushed to the county. At that time, although the county was dilapidated, it was very busy. In recent years, after the new millennium, ethnic minorities also went out from the villages, and many people began to flow to the society and go to big cities

The old man's muddy eyes met the afternoon sun, which reflected on his dry cheek, which looked full of the traces of years. The old man's thoughts flew far away, and the deep wrinkles on his forehead became more profound and eye-catching in the sunshine.

Wang, pushing the Phoenix brand bicycle with both hands, looked at the old man who came from a foreign country and had no children. He was very wise. When he was young, he traveled south and North. Later, he took root in Dai township.

He has lived in Dai township for most of his life, and now he is in charge of dachacun primary school. He hopes that the one he props up may be the most humble primary school in the world, which can bring some hope to the children and not be left too far behind. Even a little bit of light, he felt that he had done something meaningful.

"Yes, Mr. Li, some villages in Mengla County are on the list, especially dacha village, which is the key village of poverty alleviation project. Life will be better and better..." said Wang Ke Yuan. "In the future, you don't have to work so hard."

"Ha ha, it's hard to eat." Li Lao's gratified eyes looked not far away: "people always have to bear hardships. It depends on how many sweets they can get. In our era, we only had to bear hardships, but there was no sweetness. In the future, as long as people had a little hardship, they could get a lot of happiness sweetness."

"Ha ha, yes, people have to suffer." Wang said with a smile.

Approaching the bus station, Wang noticed a woman standing on the side of the road wearing a plaid shirt, which is very different from Dai people's. Next to her was a big bag, looking around. He said to Li: "there, that is Tao Huizhen, teacher Tao."

"It's still a young man. He comes from a big city. He has the flavor of city people and the culture when he looks at it..." Li looks at Tao Huizhen and tries his best to pull a slow old cow. He quickens his pace a few times: "I'm afraid that young children can't eat the pain of our mountains."

"It would be nice if someone would like to come. At least someone can let the child pick up the book, don't you think? He is a college student. Is he better than the girl named Dao in your village? Our goal is to let those kids learn. "

"You can't say this in front of her. She should be wronged. She focuses on material benefits. When she doesn't have a supporting teacher, she still relies on her. She's not afraid of hardship and tiredness." Li laowei smiles. The education level of the teacher is high, but the girl in the stockade is long-term and unpretentious. The teachers came and went, just like spring. The rest of the time, boring and hard, fell on the girl.

"Well, I know. She's good. From this year on, I didn't let her work in vain. I applied from the Education Bureau and gave her a little subsidy of 30 yuan a month. I think it's OK. The supporting teachers from the city only paid more than 100 yuan for education. It's just that Li is old and you don't have your share. "

"I don't need to. It's enough trouble for the Education Bureau." Mr. Li waved his hand.
