Chapter 55 We are all dream chasers! (Thanks to the cat drinking oolong tea and Wang Qiuyu for their monthly tickets with a full line of space)
Zhang Chao is an ordinary bank teller.
Zhang Chao had a dream since he was a child, which was to become a writer and write his favorite novel.
However, this dream has never come true. When he was in high school, his parents chose science for him because science majors are more likely to find jobs after graduation.
After graduation, his parents urged him to find a job. When they saw that he couldn't find a stable job, they even spent a lot of money to find him a stable job in a bank, just hoping that he could live a stable life.
After getting the job, he was urged to get married and have children. Zhang Chao felt that he had never lived for himself for a single day in his life.
He once mentioned his dream to his parents, but the response he got was indeed ruthless ridicule: "How much money can you make by writing novels? Can you support yourself? Do you remember how many points you got in Chinese?"
"I asked you to study science because I was afraid you would have such unrealistic ideas. People need to eat, but if you can't even get enough food, how can novels fill your stomach?"
"How good is your job in the bank now? How many people envy you?"
When his friends, relatives and neighbors learned of his idea, they were mostly sarcastic and even his wife did not support him: "Let's just live a good life. You have to think about the money for Xiaobao's milk powder, what school Xiaobao will go to in the future, and the tuition and interest classes. These all cost a lot of money. We can't always rely on our parents!"
Whenever Zhang Chao mustered up the courage to pursue his dream, he would be influenced by various voices and eventually had to give up.
Again and again.
In fact, for a long time, Zhang Chao had forgotten his dream of writing novels.
Until one day, Zhang Chao saw the live broadcast of the first release of "Morning Star".
He heard Lin Fan's speech.
He heard the words: "Everyone should have a dream, and if you have a dream, don't be afraid of pain."
He heard the song "Keep Walking in the Rain"!
He heard the words: "You can push me off a cliff, and I can learn to fly without taking orders from anyone!"
He realized that he couldn't live in such a muddle-headed way any longer! He had to pick up his dream again.
Zhang Chao also completely fell in love with this big boy named Lin Fan.
Zhang Chao dug out a manuscript from the utility room. It was a novel he had written word for word during breaks in high school. Every word reflected his desire to become a writer and his beautiful vision of his dream.
There is more than one such manuscript.
Unfortunately, he had to succumb to the oppression of life, the arrangements of his parents, and his own giving up. He buried these dreams deep in his heart, placed these manuscripts in the storage room, and dared not look at them for too long.
But today, Zhang Chao plucked up the courage to take them all out and placed them neatly on the computer desk one by one.
Zhang Chao's wife saw his strange behavior and couldn't help asking him, "What are you doing? What is this?"
Zhang Chao smiled and handed a manuscript to his wife: "This is a novel I wrote when I was in high school, all handwritten! Isn't it amazing!"
The wife opened the manuscript and looked at the Chinese characters written one by one with a water-based pen. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, your handwriting is so ugly!"
Zhang Chao felt like an arrow had hit his heart, and said unconvincedly: "How can it be ugly! My handwriting was also ranked in the top ten in our class at that time!"
The wife smiled secretly, looked at the neatly stacked manuscripts on the table and asked, "Did you write all of these?"
Zhang Chao nodded proudly: "Yes, I wrote them all. At that time, everyone ran out to play after class. Boys couldn't sit still, but I was different. In order to write more during the break, I never left my seat after class!"
Zhang Chao didn't leave the classroom, didn't play with others, and even didn't drink water all day to avoid going to the toilet, just to be able to write more novels during the break.
However, when I was young, I was able to do so much for my dream, but when I grew up, I lost the courage to move forward.
The wife was silent.
Zhang Chao looked at his silent wife and said, "Don't worry, I am not a child anymore and I will not forget my responsibilities. I will definitely let you and your son live a good life. However, when I was in high school, the schoolwork was so heavy, and I was able to use the little time after class to write so many manuscripts. Why can't I do that now?"
"I just want to use some time after get off work and before going to bed, whether it's an hour or half an hour, to do something I want to do. Don't worry, I promise it won't affect our lives."
Perhaps because of his age, Zhang Chao could not bring himself to say such immature and passionate words as "pursue dreams", and could only say lightly "do what you want to do".
His wife felt a sore throat and couldn't help but glared at Zhang Chao: "Look at what you said, as if I was hindering you!"
"No, I didn't mean that..."
"Okay," his wife interrupted Zhang Chao's explanation, "From now on you don't have to mop the floor or wash the dishes at home. You can do whatever you want! But there is one thing!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhang Chao was so happy that his wife supported his decision!
"You tell me, don't just say one, any time is fine!"
"When your family becomes well-off, you must buy me a dishwasher!"
"Buy it! You must buy it!"
…
Liu Fangfang, an ordinary name, is also an ordinary housewife. Her favorite thing is to watch variety shows in her spare time after taking care of the whole family.
On this day, she accidentally clicked on the recently popular talent show "Morning Star". This episode happened to be the first ranking release. The boring ranking release process for several hours made her want to change the channel. After all, her time is precious.
The child finally finished his homework and went to bed, the parents-in-law finally took a bath and rested, and the husband was still out for a social event and hadn't come home yet. The only time she could completely relax before her husband came back was when she watched variety shows before going to bed. The various crying and happy expressions of the children made her feel a little upset. Where did all those tears come from? It was obvious that they had been beaten too few times by society. If they were beaten more often, they would not be so pretentious.
Just when Liu Fangfang put her hand on the remote control to change the channel, she suddenly saw a student walk up to the stage and say something.
Liu Fangfang thought it would be the same as the previous students who gave speeches, another sentimental chicken soup.
But this time, she heard something that made her stunned.
“…Everyone should have a dream, but if you have a dream, don’t be afraid of pain…We are still young, we are all dream chasers!”
A dream chaser?
Something in Liu Fangfang's heart was touched. She once pursued her dream passionately, but where is her dream now?
