17 Chess and Boards, and Dreams
Dongdong listened carefully to the beautiful big sister on the stage telling her childhood dream, and her eyes were full of envy.
She was very envious that this big sister could be loved by so many people, and compared to her popularity, she couldn't even find an opponent to play backgammon.
She really wants to become an Internet celebrity, because only in this way can she play chess to her heart's content, and look for opponents who will not reject her.
But she knows that she can't become her, because she on stage, her childhood dreams are much grander than her offstage.
It's a pity that she doesn't know that dreams don't have big or small at all, and there will be no high or low at all. Even the most humble profession of cleaner is not necessarily worse than that of scientists, journalists, and writers.
Dreams are always what you see and do. Instead of telling her dreams with her mouth like the Internet celebrity above.
No one will tell her this truth, not even the teachers who use the banner of educating people, and they will ignore this simple and easy-to-understand truth. Not only that, but they also instill in their children early on about the importance of money.
Although money is a necessity of life. But money will never be a necessity of a person's life.
……
Lu Xiaoyu said that he was tired.
She looked at the small audience in the audience, and she asked about their dreams in a hoarse voice.
The topic of dreams is a favorite topic for speakers, because most people have different dreams, and it is undoubtedly a pleasure to listen to them talk about their dreams. Especially children, they are never short of wild dreams. Of course, most children's dreams are easy to achieve, and because their dreams are often more pure.
Lu Xiaoyu looked at the children who were chattering, and her eternally tired eyes suddenly became bright. She listened carefully to the colorful dreams in the audience, and she also began to choose the most easily realized dreams.
The teachers, looking at the noisy children who were talking about their dreams, all frowned without surprise. They timidly looked at the guests on the stage, and they would more or less complain about this group of noisy children in their hearts.
Perhaps, these teachers who are willing to invite Internet celebrities to give speeches have long lost their purest dreams.
The loud scolding of different teachers made the children in the audience honest.
They don't dare to tell their dreams anymore, looking at their timid eyes, maybe their current dream is that they don't want to hear the roar of the teachers anymore.
Lu Xiaoyu was accustomed to accepting the silence of the audience, and she also randomly selected four children to come to the stage to tell her dreams.
The first child looked clean and clean, and at a young age, he had already had a pair of thick eyes. He should also be well educated, otherwise how could he dream of becoming a writer like his father?
Lu Xiaoyu listened to the dream of the first child with a smile, and she also took out the pen she had prepared long ago and gave it to the first child to realize his dream as soon as possible.
She looked at Si Swenwen, the first child who was neither humble nor arrogant, and the evaluation she gave in her heart was that this child would become a great thing in the future.
The second child is not so good compared to the first child. Although he is also dressed cleanly, there is honesty and even cowardice in his eyes.
Lu Xiaoyu asked him softly about his dream, and he hesitated for a long time before he said that he wanted to be a scientist in the future. But his words were ridiculed by many.
Because they felt that it was not his dream. Even if this is really his dream, it is too earthy and naïve.
Lu Xiaoyu's gift to him is still a pen, but in her heart, the evaluation given to this child is destined to be mediocre in the future.
For her, how can a child with honesty and cowardice in her eyes and unrealistic dreams in her mouth be promising?
She silently watched the second child walk off the stage, and she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a childhood dream of being a scientist, but at that time, she didn't know what a scientist did, and those dreams were completely instilled in her by adults and teachers. She looked at the familiar back and silently changed her evaluation in her heart, this child may have a future.
The third child is sloppy and unhygienic, but he is very bold, and he still has the courage to make faces in the face of familiar or unfamiliar classmates and teachers in the audience. He spoke loudly and his eyes were bright. When Lu Xiaoyu asked him about his dream, his tone and the brighter and brighter light in his eyes made Lu Xiaoyu feel that this child's future was definitely not ordinary.
His dream is to become a basketball player and bring glory to his country. This dream was said by him categorically, and it was also sonorous and powerful. His body seemed to straighten up with the dream he was telling.
This firm tone made Lu Xiaoyu in a trance, because she remembered Yang Zheng, and when Yang Zheng told her dreams, she was also so firm. At that time, Yang Zheng's dream was to become a teacher, to teach children how to be good people, how to change their fate, and how to find their dreams.
At that time, Yang Zheng was so firm that she was fascinated.
It also makes her firm now, and he must have achieved his dream.
Perhaps because of her love for the house and Wu, she was very kind to the third boy and gave him a pair of basketball shoes that had been prepared for a long time.
She looked at the back of the boy as he departed with joy, and she suddenly felt as if she had thought of her own dream.
However, her good mood did not last long.
Because of the dream of the fourth girl, she felt disgusted.
And this girl who disgusted her, her dream was to play backgammon with her.
This girl who is not good-looking has nothing to do at first glance, and coupled with this girl's rustic dress, she feels that this girl's family background is not very good.
Such a girl born in a marginal family actually wants to play chess with her? She didn't know that her time was precious, but she didn't have time to play the backgammon game with her.
Does she know what her dream is?
Compared to the first three children, this child is as pitiful and ridiculous as a clown.
She was tempted to refuse the child's request. But she couldn't refuse.
Because, the students and teachers in the audience are all staring at them with expectant eyes.
Including the team behind her, they are all hinting at her and asking her to play backgammon with her.
She endured the discomfort in her heart, and told her with a smile that she didn't have a chessboard and chess pieces, and asked her to change her dream.
The little girl took out a chessboard and two jars of chess pieces from the schoolbag behind her.
She looked at her yearning like a spring breeze.
And she was longed for, but she scolded her in her heart for having no dreams.
