Huai Zi couldn't help but laugh. "How can you spend all day thinking about this and that? Isn't life just about taking things as they come?" Seeing her confused expression, he added, "It doesn't matter who you are, everyone has plenty of ideas in their head. But those ideas have to be useful to be worthwhile—thinking about useless things is just a waste of effort, isn't it? I mean, to put it jokingly, I used to dream of becoming the Prime Minister. But if Mr. Zhou hadn't come to our village, I probably wouldn't have even managed those two years of schooling. Me, wanting to be Prime Minister? Wasn't that just daydreaming?"
Juhua asked softly, "Now that our family is doing well, have you never thought about striving for something more?"
