Sagaing U Bo Thin - That's why I love you

Chapter (1)

Tin Maung Myint, from the year he arrived at the university, bought and piled up straw and hay around their house, then bought mushroom seeds from the science lab and planted them. However, the mushrooms that grew from the straw and hay were not eaten or sold, but left to grow naturally.

Then, a year later, the straw pile had been piled up again and again, and the water had been sprayed on it, and the mushrooms had grown in abundance. That year, when the mushrooms were growing, Tin Maung Myint and his family had to eat mushroom soup, and Tin Maung Myint's mother sold the mushrooms and earned 150 baht.

When Tin Maung Myint's exam results came out, he had already passed both exams with honors.

Then, with great joy, he repaired and watered three large jasmine plants around his house, and the jasmine flowers bloomed early, earning him about three kyats a day.

Tin Maung Myint is now tending the garden in their ten-and-a-half-acre plot. Their land also has a constant flow of water from the canal, so although Tin Maung Myint's work is not perfect, the garden he cultivates is lush and beautiful.

In addition to straw mold, the yard is also producing jasmine flowers and brown flowers.

On May 30th of that year, a European came to Tin Maung Myint at noon and greeted him. They said this: “You will become a high school teacher at my high school.” “I don’t want to.” “I will give you a net salary of three hundred and fifty.” “I don’t want to.” “Is the salary low?”

“Even if you pay me three thousand five hundred a month, I won’t do it.”

"Oh.. why?"

"I don't want to say it."

"Just say it, it's okay"

“You people in Burma are so obsessed with English that you are starting to teach English from kindergarten and are establishing schools. I know that you are establishing schools like that and are trying to make your country a market-following country.” “Oh.. that’s not true, Ko Tin Maung Myint is mistaken.”

"You can't trick me with money. I can eat a plate of fried rice and a meal. I dare to enter a wedding ceremony wearing traditional clothes. I'm not a person who wants to be seen."

"Thoughts and concepts are wrong"

"You are right. You are destroying the traditional Buddhist doctrine, which is so noble and peaceful, by building schools and teaching religion to children. You are weakening the ethnic spirit and making you look like you are lawless people from Europe, and making us a follower country, aren't you? I am a fool."

"Ha... it's not what you think."

"Don't deny it, I was in high school too. I was in university too. I know that there are a lot of students who miss their mother, Kyaw Htwe Daw, and I don't want to talk about it even in schools and universities. I don't want to wake up the one who is awake."

“Ha... you misunderstood, we Burmese people have been helping and supporting us a lot with the intention of modernizing us.”

"I'm surprised you said that to me. I'm not blind. Only blind people want to follow the ideology that is being lured by foreign countries, thinking it is good. This is an oath to surrender and follow the Cold War. Don't come and try to persuade me."

"You are not a coward. Your so-called allied forces, with the help of the Burmese, returned to Burma and burned down towns and villages where there was not a single Japanese person, which is proof of that."

"We are living in a two-story house that has collapsed and is now a shack."

The foreign principal couldn't persuade Tin Maung Myint, so he returned in his car.

The next evening, Tin Maung Myint was busy tending to his garden. His mother was arranging flowers and other flowers. The big flower was picking jasmine buds that were about to bloom.

Meanwhile, Daw Mya Nga, a teacher from an independent school, came to Tin Maung Myint. Daw Mya Nga was a BA who had graduated a year earlier than Tin Maung Myint and was working as a teacher at an independent school.

“Sit down.” “What are you thinking about doing now?” “I’m working. I’m planting jasmine trees, planting ornamental plants, and taking care of jasmine trees.”

"We're working at the school. I've spoken to the principal."

"A naked woman is not fit to be a teacher. She is good at doing Dhobi, and she is very good at it. I know how to do it."

"Your Excellency"

"That's it, I don't want to do the job of a teacher, it's not worth it."

"Think about it, if you do it, I'll explain it to you tomorrow."

"I'm just repeating myself, I'm not doing it."

Daw Mya Ninh went back, following Tin Maung Myint's unspoken words.

Daw Mya Nga had two years of IA and two years of BA. When Tin Maung Myint passed the ISC, BSC, and BA in two consecutive years, and many people praised him, he said, "It's not a bad thing, you are a naked man." The words spread through the air and reached Tin Maung Myint's ears.

Did Tin Maung Myint say such things to Daw Mya Nga because of such a feeling? If so, is Tin Maung Myint a person who is suitable for the times? If Tin Maung Myint said such things because of such a feeling, is it appropriate to say them?

Daw Mya Nga is a very prominent woman in the university community. She not only persuaded Tin Maung Myint to vote for her party in the union election, but also campaigned for them. Then Tin Maung Myint said bluntly that he was not coming to the university to pay fifteen kyats a month to vote, but to receive vocational training.

Others came to persuade him at that time. Tin Maung Myint also said that and remained calm. Because of this attitude, Tin Maung Myint did not get along with other university students during his student life. However, students who studied sports treated Tin Maung Myint well because he was an excellent soccer player.

Tin Maung Myint played football, but he did not socialize with the team members, eating, and having fun.

Now Tin Maung Myint is a man who has obtained a degree in Arts and Sciences. He was considered by the students of his time to be a person who did not break corners and did not matter. Because of this attitude.
