In the evening, Zhang Qianxiu went home again. After chatting with Ge Qingshan today, he felt that he should make some changes and really should have a good talk with his father.
When Zhang Qian was far away, he saw his family enjoying the cool at the door. His mother was still taking the sole of his shoes, his father was still smoking, and his sister was still picking the pebbles in the rice for cooking tomorrow.
"Dad Zhang Qianxiu went to his father and sat down.
Hu Jin'e and Zhang Lanmei became nervous when they saw Zhang Qianxiu.
Zhang Aibing is still angry as always: "go away, I'm not your father, I don't have a son like you."
Seeing his father's angry look, Zhang Qianxiu was not angry. He thought about how to open his mouth. After a long silence, he said, "Dad, let's have a good chat! Let's not fight each other. "
Zhang Aibing took a look at his son and took a puff of cigarette. His tone was a little more relaxed: "you're very powerful. There's nothing to talk about."
Zhang Qianxiu said to himself, "I know the whole family is doing good for me. Even now, you still want to send me to study."
Hu Jin'e immediately began to wipe her tears when she heard Zhang Qian Xiu's words.
In the dark, Zhang Aibing's face softened slightly. The corners of his mouth beat slightly. He seemed to want to speak, but he didn't say it.
Zhang Qianxiu said, "Dad, I know you have your concerns about your sister. You should consider the customs and other people's opinions."
Zhang Aibing finally opened his mouth and said with a slight sigh: "you are still young. I don't know how powerful those rumors are. If you die, he can say that you survive. You can't change your sister's business. "
"Today we went to prepare some things. Tomorrow the people of the Han family will come to discuss and see how many guests will come. We have to start preparing."
The engagement banquet is arranged in the woman's home, with only relatives and at most a few close friends. It won't be too big.
The dinner is prepared by the woman, and the South will bring candy, meat and so on. At the engagement banquet, they will also give betrothal gifts. However, Zhang Aibing has already received betrothal gifts, so at Zhang Lanmei's engagement banquet, they will only give them a meaning, or give them again. When Zhang Lanmei married, they also brought them by the way.
When it comes to his sister's marriage, Zhang Qianxiu is inevitably upset. He silently takes out a cigarette and hands it to his father: "Dad, Han Changsheng beats someone. His last daughter-in-law just can't stand it. If he is beaten away, I'm afraid it's hard for his sister to go."
Zhang Aibing's hand trembled and took the cigarette from his son: "less smoking is bad for your health."
Zhang Qianxiu let out a "hum", but lit a cigarette again.
Zhang Aibing also continued a cigarette, said: "your sister married in the past, as long as done, Han family is not hard hearted, will also protect her, then Han Changsheng is just a fool, after all, when his parents are old, it is your sister who runs the family."
Zhang Qianxiu never knew that his father thought this way.
But this is just the most ideal idea, some people are to help Pro ignore, even if their relatives are a fool.
In the last life, after her elder sister married, the Han family only wanted her to have a son and a half. They regarded her as a fertility machine and did not consider her feelings at all.
Zhang Qianxiu gave a wry smile. He didn't continue to talk about his sister. Now that he said it, his father might get angry. Instead, he said, "Dad, I'm not going to study any more. I want to learn by myself."
Zhang Aibing looked at his son in surprise, and he was a little flustered: "how can you not study when your grades are so good? Your teacher said, as long as you hold on, it's no problem to take the university entrance examination. You don't have to worry about the money. As long as you take the university entrance examination, no matter how much money, your mother and I will send you to study even if we sell blood. "
Zhang Qianxiu has no doubt about his parents' love for him. His parents love themselves and can sell blood for themselves, but they also have the dross of traditional thinking.
It's not that tradition is bad. Ge Qingshan studied Chinese culture. Chinese culture is also a tradition and a heritage. But he also respects and accepts modern culture and ideas.
Instead of learning the essence of tradition, my father engraved the dross of the traditional idea that men are superior to women and that literature is more important than technology.
After all, parents still think that reading is better than learning technology, eating public food is better than doing business, and sons are better than daughters.
But now is a new era. Those who are good at technology can also make some achievements; In business, we can do our best for the country and the people; Daughters can also provide for their parents, although less, but it is not impossible.
Zhang Qianxiu said, "Dad, just because I don't go to school doesn't mean I don't study. I want to study by myself."
Zhang Aibing quickly jumped up: "you are confused! You... You are really confused. Can you learn well by yourself? I've learned all by myself. What else do you want the teacher to do? "
Zhang Qianxiu explained: "in fact, all the things we need to learn are in books. Fundamentally speaking, teachers are just an aid and guidance. Good teachers can help and guide us well, making learning more effective with half the effort. In the end, it's up to the students themselves. "
Zhang Aibing thinks that his son is suffering from conjecture. Isn't what students learn taught by teachers?
Zhang Aibing rubbed his hands anxiously. He thought what his son said was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Dad, I will continue to study. I will never be worse than any college student."
"Bullshit!" Zhang Aibing was so anxious that he was rude again.
Zhang Qianxiu didn't say a word.
Hu Jin'e also looked at her son anxiously, but she didn't know how to persuade him.
Zhang Aibing can only firmly say: "reading, you have to go, do not go also have to go, not by you."
Zhang Qianxiu didn't want to talk to his father before. Today, after listening to ge Qingshan's words, he patiently said, "Dad, the times have changed, and you have misunderstandings about reading. Reading is to learn knowledge and make people accept a systematic education. As long as I can read useful books and learn every day, I am also an educated person. "
Zhang Aibing took a deep breath of smoke: "you don't have that diploma, who admits you?"
"If I'm going to have a family meal or work, maybe I need a diploma. But I want to do business. It's a place to see what I can do. I know what I want to do. " Zhang Qianxiu stopped for a moment, then said: "moreover, in order to let me study, you marry your sister to Han Changsheng. I don't agree with you from the bottom of my heart."
Zhang Aibing's heart began to get angry again, but his son spoke to himself calmly today. Thinking of the situation at home these days, Zhang Aibing didn't want to make too much noise, and then pressed down again. He said bitterly, "why can't you understand our pains?"
"Dad, why don't you think about how hard it would be for your sister to marry Han Changsheng?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.
"How bitter can it be?" Zhang Aibing said impatiently: "can we still have the pain at that time? What about eating a big pot? At that time, she could starve to death. No matter how hard she got married, she could still starve to death? "
"Times are different. We can't compare the past with the present." Zhang Qianxiu said, "even if my sister stays at home, she can't starve to death."
This is the collision of the two ideas. The father sticks to the traditional ideas and the son accepts the new changes.
The change of thought can not be achieved overnight, but can only be imperceptibly influenced by time.
After all, it was a fruitless argument. Zhang Qianxiu and his son both chose to suppress and did not quarrel.
Zhang Qianxiu argued with his father for more than an hour, but there was no result. His father's point of view did not change.
After a bath, Zhang Qianxiu went to bed and read by the dim light.
