C47 I Got What I Wanted

"I won't give up. " Tao Huizhen suddenly said, "As long as Qiuhe is willing to believe me, as long as you want to study and learn, no one can stop you. "

Qiu He and Grandma's gazes all shifted to Tao Huizhen. Tao Huizhen's aura was different from those of the people who came.

Many people could no longer hold on in the face of the current situation. No one would ignore the strong objections of the two elders. They could still hold on to their own opinions. It was like throwing a pebble into the distance. After reaching a certain peak of power, He fell down. Everyone had their own limits when doing things. They would let go at the right time. Often, they would be able to retreat unharmed. They were afraid that when they reached the peak of their strength, they would continue to persist. Then, the situation would not be controlled by his thoughts.

In this world, everything was afraid of the word "serious. " As a grandmother. . . She couldn't help but lean on her bamboo stick and take a few steps forward. She approached Tao Huizhen. He stared at Tao Huizhen's flushed face. The corner of his mouth trembled slightly. After stopping in his tracks, his body could not help but sway. He knocked the bamboo stick on the ground, making a "bam bam bam" sound. It was as if he was questioning Tao Huizhen: Are you going to take away the spiritual support of a pair of old men?

Qiu He's blood seemed to be flowing in reverse. Tao Huizhen was only a teacher. She only needed to teach in the classroom. How many students came to class? She would teach as many students as possible. Even if she came to look for him, she would only do her best, right? She had no reason to make herself look too embarrassed because of this thought. It was as if she had crawled out of the mud. And she was covered in thorns. What exactly was supporting her to do this? Qiuhe couldn't understand. At least, she had never seen anyone else's eyes before. She had seen Tao Huizhen's stubbornness.

She obviously didn't plan to leave unscathed. At the best time, just as she was about to leave, Tao Huizhen chose to continue holding on to her wish.

It was as if she would rather die than die.

"Why?" Qiuhe asked.

"There's no reason. You said you wanted to go to school, that's enough. I'm a volunteer. For a branch teacher, no matter what, there's no reason to give up on a child who wants to study. Even if she has no choice, as a teacher, she can't give up so easily. " Tao Huizhen replied.

Qiuhe had never heard such pleasant words. This was also the first time someone had worked so hard for her without asking for anything in return. It made her understand that in this world, there was still a group of people who were willing to pay for others. She felt that kind of hot warmth. It was as if she was in an endless tunnel. She saw a ray of light in the distance. It was an extremely weak light, but no matter how weak it was, It represented hope.

Not everyone lived for themselves. There were also people who lived in other people's worlds and were destined to be the pillars of others. In places where others could not see, they silently moved forward.

She was the pillar of her grandfather and grandmother's survival. Of course, there would also be people who would be the pillar of her survival.

"Do you really want to be your student? Teacher. " Qiuhe swallowed a mouthful of salty saliva. She spoke with a thick Dai accent.

The winter wind carried a little coolness. The wind brought the smell of green tea into the house. The fragrance of dry tea instantly disappeared in Tao Huizhen's breath. She told Qiuhe the story of the Great Tea Village Primary School. She talked about Yu Er's love for crying. Yan Hahan's Mandarin was too bad. Wu Huiyan was lost in the rain. . . But she did not mention Ah Liang, who had disappeared for a long time.

Qiu He listened very carefully, Da Tea Village Primary School. Originally, it was a place very far away from her. It was a place that she could only dream of. What was inconceivable was that the teacher at that place. . . At this moment, he was standing in front of her, inviting her to study there. Listening to Tao Huizhen's explanation, She easily stepped into the hall where she could study. Her thoughts wandered there. To her, it was the best paradise.

Yunnan Province had no sea, and Dai Village only had a stream that flowed through dozens of villages. There was not even a lake. The lofty mountains were not friendly enough. They blocked people's footsteps. People's vision was limited here. On the contrary, the sea was vast and boundless. When it connected with the sky, it was a body of water that took up 71% of the entire planet. Its vastness. . . It always made people feel that the field of vision was not limited to this. Sometimes it would also make people think of the billions of galaxies in the vast universe. The endless past and present.

Seeing it, one's heart would be satisfied.

Watching the sea was actually a wish that Grandma had since she was young. Yeah, that's right. Even an old hag like her, who had already turned white and aged, would find it difficult to move. She had dreams before, and from time to time, those dreams would appear in her mind. The Dai villagers who lived in the mountains. They treated the vast ocean that they could never see as a dream, because it was not easy to realize it. That was why it became a dream. As expected, Grandma had never left the Great Tea Village in her entire life. Now that she thought about it, The fact that she could not leave the Great Tea Village had already become a fact. Only her life experience told her what Hai looked like, and she imagined what Hai looked like. The color of the sea, and the vastness of the sea. Occasionally, she would reveal a satisfied expression. It was as if she could only imagine the situation and get what she wanted.

Only when she had too much hope in her heart would she be able to laugh out loud even when thinking about it. Qiu He's expression. . . Wasn't it the same as her? When the child thought of studying, it was like an old man thinking of the sea. There was no difference between dreams. As long as it could be called a dream. The old man looked at his granddaughter, Qiuhe, and his fingers trembled. All the bones in her body seemed to be barely supporting her body. Her hair was also trembling. Sometimes, she had no choice but to break Wazi's dream. "Qiuhe is the pillar of this family, just like this old house's rosewood beam. The beam was taken away. The house will collapse. You're leaving, Grandma and your grandfather. You'll have to die in this house without a beam! " Her grandmother said sternly. Her voice was also trembling.

Qiu He knew that there was no turning point in her fate. She nodded, feeling sad. After today, her life was still the same as yesterday.

Grandma knocked on the bamboo stick and looked into the distant horizon once again. There was a floating cloud at the top of the mountain. The light passed through the thin clouds and shone on the glass in her turbid eyes. She was also thinking about the race against time. In her lifetime, When she saw Qiuhe grow up, she said that she would be given to a family who had the ability to support her. He saw that she was married to someone. He could finally shut his eyes quietly.

This was the only path she could take. Under the circumstances where she was the luckiest. . . To be able to wait for Qiuhe to grow to the age of marriage could be considered the blessing of the heavens. After all, her body had never been very optimistic. She felt that she could only persist for a few years. Only by seeing this scene with her own eyes could she feel at ease. It was obviously too late for Qiuhe to learn knowledge and culture. She would not be able to persist until the day when Qiuhe learned and returned the favor, and she would not be able to rest in peace. That was what the old man thought. The only thing she could do was to let her granddaughter study and work at home. He only wanted to learn more ways to survive. The tea fields had to be taken care of all day long, that was the only source of income for the family.

"You can leave, Teacher Tao. Little Qiuhe is not the kind of child you think she is. She has her own life. She only has one path to take. " Grandma suddenly turned her head and ordered Tao Huizhen to leave.

"Didn't she have to choose her own life? Qiuhe said that she wants to study. This is her path. "

" You. " The old man glared at Tao Huizhen. "Aiyo, maybe you're right. If you say you're a branch teacher, then teacher's job is to pass on knowledge. However, Qiuhe wasn't one of them. You let her study all day, This home will be ruined!" "It's too late!" The old man's jaw trembled. He shook his head. He gritted his teeth and said.

"No, not for the whole day. Every day, I only want her to come for two hours. She only needs to come and study for two hours a day. She will be able to complete the compulsory basic education. I will start teaching her the most basic things. Grandma might not understand, but Qiuhe still doesn't know how to write her own name. Her thirst for knowledge. . . Just like your thirst for life. Grandma must also be a person with dreams. It's only two hours. No matter when Qiu He comes, I'll adjust the time, and it'll be fine even at night. It's fine in the morning, but it's fine in the middle of the night. I'll use my own time to teach her. "

Tao Huizhen clenched her right fist and said. This was the most sincere and the most extreme effort she could make. Or rather, this was the result of her persistence after reaching the peak of her strength.

One step forward and one step back were two very different scenes.

The sun began to shine behind the mountain. The sun was about to set. In the small house of Autumn Lotus's house, half of the afterglow and half of the shadow shone on the wall in the east. The time in the house seemed to have been frozen. Qiuhe and her grandmother's faces also seemed to have formed a layer of blue frost. Their expressions froze.

The old man couldn't help but start to waver. She was wondering what kind of power drove this girl forward? There was clearly no dazzling radiance. It looked like there was a patch of thistles and thorns in front of them. However, her faith was indestructible. No one had ever done this before when they came to her house.

To anyone, it would not be easy to take this step.

Tao Huizhen said to the stunned Qiuhe, "Qiuhe, two hours in a day is only a very short period of time. As long as you work hard enough, do a full day's work in other times. Squeezing out two hours shouldn't be a problem, right? We have to work very hard in order to learn. We can't just ignore the tea fields, we also have to do the work at home. Can you bear it?"

" Yes! " Qiuhe nodded her head heavily. A passion filled with hope filled her heart. She had no way to repay Tao Huizhen for everything she had done. Tao Huizhen had given her hope. There wasn't much gratitude in her large eyes, only sincere respect.

She felt that her life had suddenly changed. Tao Huizhen didn't let her expectations go to waste.

Qiu He's grandmother didn't say anything for a long time. What reason did she have to stop a child who had sacrificed so much for his studies? She also did not have an excuse to refute a teacher who was "unscrupulous" for compulsory education. The old man sighed with a bamboo stick in his hand and moved towards the door. "It's good to not delay the work at home. Qiuhe, but you have to ask for your grandfather's opinion. He is the one in charge of this family. "

After Grandma left, the room became even darker. That peacock tail feather could no longer be seen clearly. Because the sun was setting too quickly. The night also came suddenly.

Qiu He agreed to Granny's request. She sat beside her grandfather's bed. Her grandfather had been unable to speak for a long time. Qiuhe could understand his thoughts and intentions by looking at his grandfather. External justice looked at her. Although the old man couldn't get out of bed, his body was still very stiff. But his mind was quite clear. Qiuhe softly said, "Grandpa, I'm going to study. " She stretched out her arm and pointed in the direction of Da Tea Village Primary School.

. . .

It was three days later when Qiuhe started studying at Da Tea Village Primary School. That day, she understood the meaning in her grandfather's eyes. The two elders finally compromised. Or rather, it could be said that they were willing to let go.

According to the agreement, Qiuhe would study with Tao Huizhen for two hours a day. Most of the time, she would only study language and mathematics. She started from the simplest spelling and adding and subtraction methods. She spent the last few days of 2007 with Tao Huizhen. In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day.

During this period of time, Qiuhe's learning ability. . . Tao Huizhen was satisfied. She was always able to infer three things and use them. It would not be so troublesome for Tao Huizhen to teach. At this rate, It was only a matter of time before Qiuhe caught up to her peers in terms of education. This was also due to her own hard work. She was not only limited to the classroom. When she was working, She could always use the fragmented time to consolidate her studies.

After the first month of the Lunar New Year, Dai Village welcomed the coldest period of the year. The children also changed into cotton clothes. Dai Village also changed color. The sky was high and the clouds were clouds. Even the air had a cold taste. When he inhaled it into his body, the cool feeling from head to toe made him shiver. It was already such a cold season. Occasionally, when it was extremely cold sooner or later. One could also see the white fog when breathing.

In the new year, Tao Huizhen continued to stick to her teaching role. Being able to welcome the new student, Qiuhe, was a new light in her peaceful life. The surface of the calm water suddenly fell into a stone, creating layers of water waves.

In Tao Huizhen's eyes, Qiuhe gradually gained recognition and naturally became the best student in Da Tea Village Primary School.

However, there were also some troublesome things that happened, even though Qiu He never felt sad about it. She would also not give Tao Huizhen any trouble. However, the children of Tea Village Primary School had never welcomed Qiuhe. She was ashamed of being an orphan, and her discriminating gaze never stopped. This also facilitated Qiuhe's stay at Tea Village Primary School. It was almost only Tao Huizhen who communicated with her. She also treated other people's malicious intentions as if they couldn't hear or see. The curses behind her. . . The criticisms were like rotten eggs, overwhelming the heavens and covering the earth. The increasing number of curses smashed into her head and back, but she did not seem to notice it.

No matter what happened, as long as Tao Huizhen did not give up on her, she would persist. People could always see her thin back as she paced back and forth between Da Tea Village Primary School and the village. In the back view, it was unknown when, but Qiuhe had long hair that was as black and shiny as ink. It was also very thick and looked to be quite heavy. . .
