C35 The Sleepless Night

It had been a week since Wu Huiyan lost herself in the rain. Tao Huizhen often woke up from her dreams. In her dreams, she was still looking for Wu Huiyan in the rainstorm. After waking up, she seemed to be able to hear the rain irrigation in Dai Village at night. It was as if the rain had wet Tao Huizhen. The sound of thunder rolled by her ears. When it cooled down completely, Only then did Tao Huizhen realize that she was sweating a lot. Her forehead was covered in a layer of fine sweat. Beads of sweat were forming on her chin.

She felt that there might be some side effects from the fever. She gently rubbed her temples. She felt better.

There was no wind. It was a quiet and hot night.

Tao Huizhen sat up on the short bamboo bed. She sat there quietly. Her eyes were wide open, and she could hear her own heartbeat. The blood in the arteries and blood vessels also started to flow with a subtle rustling sound. She knew that she couldn't sleep, so she could only wait for the time to pass.

The watch Wen Xiu gave her indicated that today's date was the 24th. The heavy rain from a week ago had sealed off the road to Mengla County. It was only today that the road left again. During the day, she went to Mengla County. She hung up on her family at the phone booth.

The things Tao Huizhen shared with her parents would never change. She always said, "Dai Village is still okay. " "I'm used to it. " A simple description like "very simple and honest" to express all of her feelings. The incident of Wu Huiyan being lost in the rain. Tao Huizhen shut her mouth and did not speak. She had a cold and had been muddle-headed for nearly a week. Fortunately, she had started to recover in the past two days.

It was a common occurrence for her parents to let Tao Huizhen go home to take a look. Because every time she called, her parents would have to persuade her to go home and stay for some time. The meaning behind her words was that she also wanted to take Tao Huizhen home. His parents probably regretted letting Tao Huizhen go back then. However, Tao Huizhen refused to go home every time.

This time, Tao Huizhen had no choice but to refuse again. A portion of the children in Da Tea Village Primary School had to face graduation from primary school. The rest of the children also had to be promoted to Year 1. Tao Huizhen had been busy these days. The time she took to return to her hometown was often ten days or half a month. She didn't have any plans to return.

"I'm the only teacher in the school right now. The children will have to stop classes after I leave. " Tao Huizhen held the microphone with her hand. When she heard her mother's voice, she immediately said, "Redo. Revision won't do. The children had been falling out of class. I told you, this is a duplex teaching method. I want to talk from the first grade to the sixth grade's language and mathematics, and the children have time to revise. As a teacher, I don't have time to rest. Sometimes, I have to talk about other courses. "

" You've been learning dance for ten years, you, Tao Huizhen. Not only did you run off to become a branch teacher, you still haven't returned home. Do you have eyes for me and your dad?" His mother's tone became unusually sharp. She had probably realized that it was not easy for her daughter to be in another country.

She was probably very unbalanced. She had raised her daughter for more than twenty years, allowing her to learn dance for ten years. At this time, she was in another place. Thousands of kilometers away, in the Dai Village of Yunnan. At the same time, she could not be taken care of by her mother and lacked love. She also had to experience things that she should not have experienced. She had to bear the pain that she shouldn't have.

What right did she have to do that?

Most of the time, the care and concern of the parents. It'll turn into something with thorns. While stabbing a child, the parent would also suffer double the pain. Some care must be hard. Tao Huizhen could also feel the same care from her mother's words. They were angry with her. They loved her, their willful daughter.

Tao Huizhen fell silent in the phone booth. She couldn't hear what her mother said about "learning dance for ten years. " Sometimes, she would suddenly have that sort of unwillingness to come to her mind and ask herself in the depths of her heart with a flash of inspiration. In the past ten years of her dancing career, Where had her excellence gone to?

"Mom, I don't have you and my dad in my heart, so why would I come all the way here to make a phone call?" Tao Huizhen said helplessly.

"Then when exactly do you plan to come back? Aren't you coming back? Regarding the matter of the branch, Just do it. You won't be able to support your family for the rest of your life. The capital to get married. Is it easy for your dad and I to train you to be a dancing actor? Are you letting us down by doing this? Have you ever thought about how we're feeling right now? I thought you'd come back after going out for a walk. I didn't expect you to be serious, Tao Huizhen. I haven't been home for more than a year. Wenxiu is back this year. She was in Australia. You're in China! "

Tao Huizhen was unable to find any words to refute her mother's words. She only knew that she couldn't leave. She didn't want to think about anything else.

"Mom, transfer me a few hundred yuan. " Tao Huizhen lowered her head. She leaned against the microphone with the corner of her mouth. She pursed her lips and discussed in a low voice. This was the third time he asked for money from his parents. After thinking about it carefully, Tao Huizhen realized that she was not living a good life. What her mother said. . . Every sentence was reasonable. In a small part of her life's experience, It wasn't difficult to come to a conclusion. Teaching volunteers would not be the capital for her to marry in her life. They would not make her life any better.

However, Tao Huizhen was particularly determined to stay in Dai Village. When she woke up, she also asked if she wanted to go or stay. The answer was obviously easy to see. In Dai Village, it would not make her life any better. But it would make her life more meaningful. She thought so.

Then, Tao Huizhen heard a "Du Du Du" sound from the phone receiver. She quietly hung up the phone and put her hand in her pocket. She walked towards the direction of Da Tea Village. She lowered her head as she recalled the trivial matters of the past.

Her mother hung up the phone.

At night, when she woke up from her dream, her whole body was covered in sweat. She once again fell into insomnia. She could only continue to quietly sit on the bamboo bed, recalling the scene of her conversation with her parents during the day. For a moment, it was as if her world had stopped spinning, leaving only her eyeballs rolling at a slow speed in the middle of the night.

Her head hurt a little. In the midst of her headache, she once again thought of the words she had said to Wen Xiu before coming to Dai Village. That was one of the spiritual pillars that she was able to persist on. Children, those children had already become a part of her life. She couldn't give them up.
