Chapter 8

Before he finished, Wu Binghua immediately turned his face and said, "Wu Tao, how do you speak? Can't you expect your brother to be better? "

But as soon as the voice fell, the old man threw his chopsticks: "are you sorry to say that? It's also your son. How strict was Xiaotao under your control when he was a child, how much pain he suffered and how tired he was? Why is it Xiaojiang's turn to set another set of standards? "

They dote on their son's style, and even the old man can't see it anymore.

"... to say the least, even different people have different lives. If Xiaojiang is spoiled by you again, he will be a pool of mud in the future. He can't help himself up to the wall at all! At that time, what face do you have to ask Xiaotao to help you clean up the mess? Even if Xiao Tao can help for a while, he can help for a lifetime? "

As soon as the old man spoke, Wu Binghua stopped talking.

Zhang Huilan still refused: "Dad, the eldest brother is like a father. When we get old, don't we have to take care of his brother by Xiao Tao?"

Bang bang!

The old man clapped the table loudly, "you also know that an elder brother is like a father! Now Xiaotao teaches Xiaojiang a few words. Why do you always stop? Just stop it. When Xiaotao is away, spoil Xiaojiang and get used to it! "

This time even Zhang Huilan was speechless.

Not only she, but also Wu Tao himself was stunned.

The old man's rage was completely unexpected!

This is clearly a robbery!

But looking at their parents with guilt and silence, the effect is much better than their own.

Thank you, grandpa! Seeing that the heat was almost over, Wu Tao put some vegetables in the bowl for the stunned two children, and then took a deep breath: "Grandpa, Dad, mom, I'm going to give up technical secondary school and go straight to high school and college!"

"What, isn't it a good discussion? Why give up technical secondary school?" Wu Binghua looked puzzled.

"Because I want to enter a famous university."

"It's OK to go to high school, but how much does it cost to go to college!" Zhang Huilan hesitated.

Wu Tao was waiting for an explanation, but the old man rebutted him first: "willing to go to college for Xiaojiang, unwilling to go to college for Xiaotao?"

Wu Binghua lit a cigarette and began to smoke with a frown.

This is not a matter of giving up. For the eldest son to go to college, they can only rely on the efforts of the couple. Tens of thousands of yuan a year is not a small amount; But it's different for Xiaojiang to go to college. When there are older sons to share some, their burden will be much lighter.

Of course, he didn't dare to mention this again, otherwise the old man was so angry that he didn't just slap the table, and he might lift the table directly.

The old man continued, "in this life, people will face countless choices. No one can guarantee that every choice is correct, but as long as you follow one principle, you can't make a big mistake, that is to have a big pattern! Every big choice can't be wrong. If the pattern is small and narrow-minded because of fear of this and that, even if you try hard in the future, it will be difficult to become a big thing! "

"... so Xiaotao wants to go to high school and college. There's nothing wrong with it! It must be better than any laoshizi technical secondary school! I agree! "

Wu Binghua took a few puffs of smoke, threw it on the ground and crushed it. He made a great determination and said, "OK, it's for you, smashing pots and selling iron, and it's for you!"

Zhang Huilan still wanted to talk, but her husband stopped her with a look in his eyes.

For one thing, after such a fuss today, they realized that they really owed the boss; Second, the eldest is just 7 years older than the second. The eldest graduated from college and can still help cultivate the second at home, which does not conflict with their previous ideas.

Seeing his father promise, Wu Tao was quite surprised. This is much more smooth than expected. Everything is thanks to the God of Grandpa!

Sure enough, there is an old family, such as a treasure.

Rao is so, Wu Tao still decided to state his reasons.

According to his plan, the purpose of this time is not only to enable parents to support their choices, but also to convince them.

"Grandpa, Dad, mom, I give up technical secondary school for a reason."

With that, Wu Tao went to the 28 bars, took down his schoolbag, took out the newspaper, searched for some news and handed it to the three elders, saying, "look at these reports..."

The old man shook the newspaper and saw the eye-catching headline:

[the Ministry of education is brewing the reform of higher education system and is expected to complete the promotion within three to five years]

[there are frequent drawbacks in the secondary vocational education system and prominent contradictions in the work package distribution system]

[there is a significant gap between the education level of China and developed countries, and undergraduate talents are short board]

[Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai took the lead in completing the pilot of education reform...]

Zhang Huilan, illiterate, gathered in front of her husband's newspaper and said anxiously, "what did the newspaper say?"

Wu Binghua was so frightened that he didn't answer.

Wu Tao replied, "Mom, this is the newspaper my head teacher specially found for me. There is only one meaning of those reports on it. That is, technical secondary school students are no longer popular. The talents needed by the society in the future are undergraduates! "

"Not popular? How can I say no? The daughter of Laogao's family, the seventh team in the village, was admitted to the police school. Wasn't the work assigned very well? The son of the sun family of the sixth team was admitted to the accounting school, and his salary was also very high! "

"Mom, they're in the past. Now the country has been brewing reform. When I graduate from technical secondary school three years later, it is likely that no one will want and can't find a job. At that time, don't mention helping the Xiaojiang. I'll be a mud Bodhisattva crossing the river. "

The old man closed the newspaper and his face became more and more dignified.

"Xiao Tao is right. The times are changing. We can't always look at the present and the future from the perspective of the past. In the past, the old Wu family still had 3000 hectares of fertile land and more than a dozen guns. Now it's no better than the previous tenant farmers! "

"... now the newspapers have begun to build momentum. When Xiaotao graduates three years later, if he catches up with the reform and can't hold an iron rice bowl, it's equivalent to more than ten years of learning in vain. He can't afford to take the risk!"

Then Wu Binghua also put down the newspaper. He was always cautious and firm: "yes, I can't take the risk if I can't get a good job after reading for more than ten years! The family is determined for you to go to high school and college! "

Looking at his father's thick eyebrows, Wu Tao's breath finally went smoothly.

If Wu Binghua agreed for the first time just now, it was a choice made by Wu Binghua under the circumstances; So this time, it was he who sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, recognized the reality and fundamentally agreed with his son's decision. "

"Now that we have reached an agreement," Wu Tao put away the newspaper and said happily, "then I'll announce my second decision!"

The first decision was so noisy that it almost didn't lift the table; Now, as soon as they said the second decision, they just let go of their hearts and immediately slipped up again.

Wu Tao laughed, "Grandpa, Dad, mom, I decided to go to high school and college without spending you a penny! I want to rely on myself and provide for my own school. "

Zhang Huilan first stagnated, followed by tears. My eldest son even said this in order to reduce the burden on his family. Thinking of her previous preference and sole favor for her younger son, she increasingly felt that she owed too much to her older son.

"Tao, mom is so happy that you say that. This shows that you can understand our hard work, which is enough. Don't worry, since your father promised to provide for you, we will provide for you to go to college even if we are hard and tired and eat bran swallowing vegetables! "
