"That might be your biggest dream when you were a child."

The principal invited me to sit down, poured a bowl of the brewed bitter tea, and placed it in front of me.

In this tea, it was filled with a strong smell of grass. The principal invited me very enthusiastically: "Do Kuding tea to get rid of the heat, you should drink more. Let's eat grilled fish tonight, I'm afraid you will get angry."

There are sour papayas and other dishes placed on the plate next to it. They look very bright in color and seem to be very appetizing. There is also an olive mixed with chili peppers. This way of eating is really rare.

I frowned: "I feel that you treat fruits as vegetables and can be used for cold salmon, which has refreshed my understanding of fruits."

Just as I finished saying this, a young girl in a long dress walked up with a plate of mangoes mixed with lemongrass.

This girl has long hair and is quite tall. She looks quite good in body proportions, especially her eyes are very bright.

The principal introduced to me: "This is my daughter, her name is Ayao, you can get to know her."

The principal looks young, and it turns out that his daughter is so old, which is really beyond the expectations of others.

I nodded to Ayao: "Hello, my name is Li Bo."

Li Bo is my fake name. The reason I use this fake name is because I want to perform a task and don’t want to reveal my identity.

"I heard that you are a new teacher from the school. I didn't expect you to be very handsome. My dad has a very good attitude and actually chose such a handsome teacher."

This girl named Ayao didn't expect to be so direct when she praised her.

I feel a little embarrassed. Few people praise themselves in front of me. Such praise is very difficult for me to adapt to.

After putting down the plate, Ayao smiled and said to me, "Take a bite of sour mango first, go and get rid of the fire. I think you must be getting angry today."

It would be strange if you don’t get angry when you come to such a hot place.

I hurriedly said to Ayao: "Little sister, don't say that to me. Actually, I know what I look like. If I am really handsome, I will participate in the celebrity beauty pageant, and I will not go to this place to be a teacher."

After hearing what I said, the girl laughed, her eyes curled like a pair of crescent moons.

She said, "Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore. You can talk about yours slowly. We still have to continue cooking."

After saying that, he twisted his body and turned around and left.

Looking at the girl's back as she walked away, I asked the principal: "Principal, I didn't expect that your daughter is so old, it really makes me look at her with admiration."

"I gave birth to a baby when I was 16 years old, you may not imagine that it is generally like this in our place."

The principal's words made me very embarrassed. He gave birth to a child when he was 16 years old. Unexpectedly, he was 26 years old and had not found his partner yet.

It’s really amazing that people are more angry than others. People cannot compare with each other. Once compared, the gap will become very obvious.

I said ashamed: "I didn't expect you to get married so early. Is it the custom of this place to get married and have children early?"

"It's not a custom, because our place is too poor. If you don't get married earlier, good girls will marry someone else, and you won't get anything by then."

The principal told the truth.

After listening to the principal's words, my own feeling was not ashamed, but a very serious sense of crisis.

If the principal said this, then people of my age may want to find an old lady, but the old lady is unwilling to marry her.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Luckily, I didn't grow up in this place, otherwise I would really be a bachelor in my life."

"Actually, you didn't grow up in our place, so you became a hot item in this place, because local girls like to marry outsiders, especially young people from other provinces, which are very popular."

The principal added tea to me again.

The two of them were chatting like this, and I gradually began to understand the customs and habits here.

As the topic gradually deepened, I asked the principal a question: "Does there any girls from other places marry here?"

The principal looked up at me and nodded with a smile: "Of course there are, but very few, not many girls can afford the hard days like this."

"So your daughter will marry to another place in the future, right? No parent is willing to let her children stay by her side and suffer with her, right?"

I asked very sharply.

After I asked my question, the principal did not answer. I don’t know if the principal couldn’t answer it or was thinking about something else.

For a parent, letting their children live better than themselves and achieve success may be their parents' greatest wish.

But if they come back, they don’t want to keep their children away from them.

Once your child leaves you and goes to a far place, it may be very difficult to meet him.

This is the sorrow of a family. When they face this dilemma, they always feel dilemma. Although the final choice may be the result they think is the best, time can always prove everything, what is the best.

The principal did not answer the question, and he took out a pot of old wine from under the table.

After opening the lid, a faint sweet fragrance spread, smelling like the wine roasted from glutinous rice. It was obvious that this was glutinous rice wine.

The principal took out two cups, poured the wine in the cup, and said to me: "Actually, many times, I like to drink wine alone and consider these issues."

"But you never get the answer because you can't choose."

I looked at the principal in front of me with a burning look. Although the principal was only in his 30s, he looked like he was in his twenties.

A person’s choice is very difficult, especially when it comes to weighing the families.

Parents always want their children to have a better future, but in the end, the answers they get may not be the best, because sometimes, their ideas are always different from their children's ideas.

The two of them raised their glasses and drank a sip of wine, and there was a sweet smell in their throats.

This rice wine tastes very sweet and is also very pure. The alcohol content is not very high, and it is almost 30 degrees.

But if you don’t get drunk, you will be drunk by yourself. After drinking this kind of wine, you can always feel a drowsy and ecstatic look.

The girl named Ayao came out again. She was holding a plate of roasted tilapia and could smell the fragrance of the fish from afar.

Their method is very halal. I feel that there is no oil on their body. They are completely baked with local herbs. With the seasonings, they look very appetizing from afar.

Ayao must have heard our discussion and put the fish down, and then replied: "I want to stay and be a teacher, but my dad disagrees."

This sentence surprised me a little.

I turned to look at the principal: "You are a teacher, and your daughter also wants to be a teacher. He wants to teach and educate people like you, but why do you disagree?"

"Being a teacher on our side is going to take great risks."

I don’t know if the principal got drunk or said this sentence intentionally or unintentionally. This sentence was like thunder and lightning, and it hit my heart unexpectedly.

I looked at the principal: "Why do you have to risk your life when you are a teacher?"

"Do you still remember what I told you during the day? Those three young female teachers had a dream of teaching and educating people, but they never thought they would destroy their young lives in it."

The principal looked at me with red eyes and said this sentence with great affection.

I have a harder understanding: "Teaching can save lives. What is the reason? Why do you always feel very confused after all?"

"If you really want to know, then you can be a teacher in our school first. After you become a teacher, you will understand some of the reasons."

At this time, the principal habitually kept his hands closed.

I looked at the principal's daughter and asked her: "Since it is so dangerous to be a teacher, why do you want to be a teacher wholeheartedly?"

"Because I want to break this curse."

This girl is not afraid of a tiger when she was born.

I said, "It seems that your thoughts are the same as mine. There are many things. Although we are doubting in our hearts, we do not have the courage to go to the bottom of it."

Ayao nodded: "Actually, for us, this kind of courage is not without, but we have too many things to worry about."

I took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm here to drink tonight. Thank you very much for your family's hospitality. Let's not affect our mood for drinking today because of other things."

Raise your glass and toast to this lovely family.

Because I know in my heart that all topics cannot be discussed too deeply. If these topics are discussed too deeply, more people may be involved.

I didn't want innocent people to be involved, but once I got involved, things would become very complicated.

The principal and his family also raised their cups to me, and the principal said to him: "Young man, no matter what you are here to do, as long as what you do is good for everyone, I am very welcome."

Having said this, there are other off-topic words. Although this off-topic words are not clearly stated, everyone knows them well.

The principal is warning me that we are very welcome if you do good things, but once you do bad things, we will be rude to you.

I am a smart person.

Of course I am very clear about what the principal means in this sentence? I understand it very well.

The water and soil of the country raise people from the other side. The principal must have emotions about these things on his side, and he definitely does not want bad people to get close to him.

This is a mentality of protecting one's calf, and of course this mentality is understandable.

Today I drank the wine until midnight, and until outside, all kinds of night insects were heard.

The principal was obviously drunk, but for me, this amount of alcohol tonight would definitely have no effect on me.
