Xixi doesn't want to learn chess anymore.

Because spring for her, it does not mean beauty, but heaviness.

After all, spring is not only a season of recovery, but also a season of growth.

Growth comes at a price, and sometimes this price is just a grain of rice and a drop of water for many people. But for some, the price is a mountain, a sea.

The tuition and miscellaneous fees for the start of school, the training fee for the chess room, and the daily living expenses are not only mountains and seas, but a sky with no end in sight for Xixi.

Although her chess game is getting better and better, even the extremely picky teacher thinks that she will be the first junior chess player in the class to set a level.

But the cost of learning chess did not become less and less because her chess game was getting better and better.

On the contrary, her teacher also wanted her to go to the more expensive "promotion class" to quickly set the stage and become an amateur chess player.

The tuition fee of up to 1,000 yuan an hour was like a boulder for Xixi, and she couldn't breathe.

After all, three hours of class is enough to cover a month's salary for his mother.

This is completely incredible, and extremely ironic.

But Xixi's mother didn't think it was a fantasy that made people feel ironic. I don't think it's an unbelievably unequal exchange.

After all, behind this expensive tuition, it represents the word "teacher".

Nowadays, if you want to make a quick start in this intricate chess world, Master is absolutely indispensable.

A famous master can not only allow his apprentices to cross the ranks to play against masters, but also broaden the horizons of apprentices.

For a chess player, the word vision is sometimes more important than chess strength.

Because, sometimes chess strength will become much worse with age and memory loss, but his vision will not, he will only see farther and farther as he grows older and more experienced.

Xixi's mother thinks this is a great opportunity for Xixi.

She didn't hesitate and gritted her teeth and agreed to the expensive tuition.

Because of this expensive tuition, Xixi's mother almost let go of her during this Spring Festival.

She took three jobs, and she worked day and night in the days when thousands of homes were lit. She seemed to be tireless, and she didn't feel lonely or lonely, and her eyes seemed to be filled with love for her daughter.

But in fact, she knew that she had hatred in her eyes, hatred for her husband.

She thought, women, should be made of water, although water looks soft, but in fact, what can be tougher than water?

This tough woman, in the eight days of the Spring Festival, earned a full 7,000 yuan without sleep, she took the 7,000 hard-earned money, looked at her sensible daughter, she was not moved, and she did not complain.

She just said flatly, you have to learn chess hard.

Be sure to get ahead.

Xixi took the 7,000 yuan, she was unexpectedly not moved in her heart, she only felt guilt, a kind of guilt that she couldn't say to anyone.

……

Xixi successfully worshipped a professional chess player as a teacher under the recommendation of the teacher.

She used seven thousand to get a delicate one, and a chessboard that could tell her age at a glance, and she also bought a name for seven thousand.

That name is Wuwei, and it is her master who likes Taoism and gives her a trade name. If there is no accident, when Xixi enters the chess world in the future, people may remember her Wuwei name more than Xixi taken by her parents.

It's a good thing, her mother said, and the name will definitely make a splash in the chess world one day.

But Xixi felt that she seemed to be dead after changing her name. Although she doesn't understand what death is, she doesn't understand what the word wuwei represents. But she understands that with a new name, she seems to have become much more respectable in the previous ordinary class.

The little fat man who used to look down on her, the little glasses that always bullied her and grabbed her hair, now look at her with a smile on his face.

She couldn't figure out why these children, who were about the same as her, seemed to have become adults who were even more philistine than adults in an instant.

However, there is at least one person who is as good to her as ever.

……

"You ask me why I'm so nice to you."

"Of course, this is because you call me good teacher first, and I will be good to you."

"What is a teacher, you ask?"

"The teacher is probably the guide who has spent his life teaching you to be a good person and do good deeds."

"Do you ask the teacher if you want anything in return? Teachers should ask for something in return, but the teacher's reward is much more than what ordinary people want to return. ”

"Because the most desired reward for the teacher is that the student grows up to be productive and capable, so that the teacher's face will shine."

"You ask me what is the ability to be a product?"

"It's probably about being a person with independent thinking and dreams, and this kind of person doesn't have to be too rich or famous. They just need to do what they have to do seriously and maintain their love for life and career. Then he is a man of interest. ”

"I have a lot of teachers, and most of these teachers are unknown people, and the students they teach are ordinary people. But they have a lot of pride that their profession doesn't have. ”

"Because, most of the ordinary people are also people who love life and live seriously."

"They happen to be the most promising people in the world."

"The teacher also hopes that you can be a productive person in the future."

"Play every game of chess well, do one thing well, and don't be discouraged by your love of life. That's the best reward for me! ”

……

Yang Zheng looked at the girl in front of him who used to love to laugh, but now he didn't seem to be able to laugh, he didn't know why, and said these words.

He thinks that the current teachers should not be able to say these big truths.

They will probably just say, you study hard just to make a lot of money in the future, make a fortune, and live your own life.

But this kind of thing is just more false and empty than the big truth that Yang Zheng said.

Because, even if most people study hard and work hard, they may not be able to make a fortune in the future, earn a lot of money, and live a good life.

At the very least, people should know what the meaning of their lives is.

Perhaps, just as he was very young, almost every child dreamed of becoming a scientist, a teacher, a journalist.

But why do they wait for them to get older, and those occupations they worship will be slowly eliminated from their dreams because of income problems?

This is probably because they simply do not understand the "essence" of scientists, teachers, journalists, or nobles.

Today's society is not only impetuous, but also realistic.

This reality, for adults, may allow many young people who are not deeply involved in the world to learn some alternative rules of survival.

But is this reality really a good thing for children?

Is it true that this world should only exist in reality for children, and not need the beautiful fantasies of children's literature and fairy tales?

Or, is money, wealth, and a bright future the direction that children must pursue in the future?

Yang Zheng doesn't want to or want to, today's children will give up the essence of life for the sake of reality.

He didn't want to let the girl in front of him lose the smile he should have at his age.

He just wants children to be children, adults to be adults, and the world is still the equal world he remembers.

This is his dream, and it is also the dream of Wang Buregret, and it is the most essential dream of all teachers in the world.
