Chapter 1: Dreams that have been laughed at

In a not-so-large classroom, an obese female Chinese teacher who looked slightly fat and had a pair of black-edged glasses on her high nose quickly wrote four big words on the blackboard - 'My Dream'

Then he opened his voice and asked the students below: "Students, what are your dreams?"

After hearing the teacher's question, the whole classroom was in full bloom.

But looking at the four words on the blackboard, Zuo Li felt it was particularly dazzling.

Zuo Li knew in his heart that according to the Chinese teacher's routine, the students should walk to the blackboard one by one to introduce their dreams. However, Zuo Li didn't like this at this moment, and it could even be said that he hated it to the extreme.

Zuo Li is in the third year of junior high school this year, and the teacher has given him this kind of composition topic more than once since he knew Chinese characters. The dreams of these classmates around him are all varied, some want to become scientists, some want to be doctors, and some want to become engineers. In short, they are all great.

Of course, among so many students, the dream that teachers like the most is that they want to become a student of the people's teacher.

However, there are also students who dare to speak very hard. These students will walk to the podium mischievously and preach to the teacher. I want to become a private company boss in the future, and I will spend endless money in a day and there will be beautiful women around me.

Students like this will always make the whole class laugh, but it will make the fat female teacher in front of you instantly turn green: "You want to be a private company boss, don't go to school? What else are you going to school?"

Then he waved his hand and knocked such a student out of the lecture hall.

However, the more embarrassing person compared to these people is Zuo Li. Zuo Li has been in school for so many years and has introduced his dreams countless times. I remember when I first went to the podium, Zuo Li was still full of confidence. He said loudly: "I want to become a football star in the future, a football star like Beckham."

But there is still a gap between reality and ideals. According to Zuo Li's idea, everyone in the background should applaud after he finished speaking, and even cast envious eyes at him. But this was just Zuo Li's idea. Because the real reaction from the audience was that after Zuo Li finished speaking, the whole class burst into laughter. Obviously, in the eyes of others, this is the most unreliable ideal.

After being baptized by his classmates, Zuo Li turned his attention to the teacher. Zuo Li still remembered that his Chinese teacher was not this fat woman, but an old man with gray hair and strictness towards students. In Zuo Li's mind, the teacher should be a person who is fair and justified his dreams. In fact, to be honest, that strict teacher has saved many students.

But unexpectedly, when Zuo Litou went over to ask for help, the old teacher responded to his colder gaze than him.

"Become a football star. Do you know what the national football team is now? And no matter what you do, at least you have to get your academic performance ahead. Your academic performance is not good. Where do you play football? Who wants you?"

The old teacher said to Zuo Li with a stern face.

After the teacher finished speaking, another burst of laughter broke out from the podium.

However, no matter what, this teacher said, he was quite qualified. After waved his hand and shouted Zuo Li down, he didn't say anything more.

But since that time, Zuo Li has never figured out what the inevitable relationship between poor academic performance and good or bad football play. Maybe he still didn't understand this problem until he entered the third year of junior high school.

However, when the topic is put in front of him again today, he obviously will not say that his dream is to become a football star. In fact, in the past so many years, since the ridicule incident, he no longer says that he wants to become a football star. Over the years, his dream has also changed and changed. He said that from the astronaut flying in the sky to the driller drilling underground. Although the dream has changed and changed, the reactions in the podium have almost never changed, and every time there is a burst of laughter.

The fat female teacher behind him was even more polite to Zuo Li. When Zuo Li said that his dream was to become a cleaner, he was criticized by the female teacher: "Just your academic performance, you still want to become a cleaner? Do you want to sweep the streets and have someone want you? Now even if you want to sweep the streets, you still need a diploma."

After the fat female teacher scolded her, she did not forget to glar at Zuo Li.

Zuo Li looked at the malicious eyes in the classroom, Zuo Li felt embarrassed, but he had to walk down the podium.

When the composition topic of this semester was put in front of Zuo Li again, Zuo Li started to have a headache again. What should he say? The teacher will not scold him and the classmates will not laugh at him?

Zuo Li thought helplessly in his heart.

However, even if you want to lose your scalp, Zuo Li still can't figure out what kind of way can he get rid of this predicament. Perhaps a poor student like himself will always be looked down upon by others.

When Zuo Li thought of this, a feeling of helplessness emerged from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, Zuo Li reached into the table box, then walked through all the books and took out a white football from the end of the table box.

This football looks a bit worn, but it is obviously finely wiped and looks white and clean. If you don't look carefully, you may even mistakenly think that this is a new football.

"Football, football, what do I say about the classmates not laughing at me? Can you tell me?" After Zuo Li took out the football from the table box, he quietly hugged it in his arms, and then asked the football in a low voice.

However, no matter how you say it, it is just a football, and he can't speak. Although he looks like he is smiling at Zuo Li, no matter how you ask, he will not tell Zuo Li the answer.

At this time, the people who went to the podium to give their dreams were all finished. Except for the class with extremely poor academic performance or extremely naughty students, the other students basically won applause from the audience.

However, as the applause became more and more enthusiastic, more and more students walked down the podium. This also shows that it was Zuo Li's turn to go on stage to talk about his dreams sooner and faster.
