In 2020, an elderly couple with cancer lay on the hospital bed clasping each other's hands, both looking at the door of the ward, their eyes full of despair, and murmuring a name "Cao Qian", which is their daughter's name.
The two couples have not seen their only daughter Cao Qian for 17 years, and when it comes to Cao Qian, she was the proudest existence of the two old people, but now, this pride is no longer there, and the daughter Cao Qian has been abroad for more than ten years, as if the world has evaporated, and she has never contacted her parents again.
1, someone else's daughter "Cao Qian" is the pride of parents
In 1979, in a village in Dalian's Shunkou District, Cao Qian was born.
In that era when the idea of "son preference" still existed, Cao Qian's parents who gave birth to daughters had no intention of regeneration, so Cao Qian became the only child in the family, and it is precisely for this reason that Cao Qian's parents were very strict about her education, completely as a boy.
It is said that the "cold door education" of Jackie Chan or Wangnu Chengfeng is heavy, which will not only bring great pressure to the child, but also make the child feel that it is a burden, Cao Qian has been in good health since childhood, and her parents are very eager for their daughter to become a child, so, although the family is very poor, they still leave the best to the child.
Cao Qian had a high fever, her father's shoes were too late to wear, he ran out to find a doctor for his daughter, What Cao Qian wanted to eat, her parents did not say that they dropped the hoe and went to buy it for her, Cao Qian was in poor health, her parents did not eat or drink, and also bought her the best supplements...
Cao Qian's parents have only one requirement for their daughter, they must study well, and in order to make their daughter not waste a little time, the husband and wife never let their children do any work, and often touched their daughter's head and said to her: "Washing clothes, washing dishes, cooking these time-wasting things, you don't do it, just give it to your parents, you just have to read." ”
In the long run, Cao Qian has really become a veritable "nerd", other people's children play outside, but she is reading at home; other people's children sleep, she is still reading, for this, Cao Qian's parents are very happy, think that their daughter will have great achievements in the future, and Cao Qian at home is indeed in addition to reading, nothing will be done, after all, parents will do everything for her, she only needs to read well.
Later, Cao Qian's grades were indeed very good, and she has always served as the class leader, and in the eyes of most neighbors and relatives, Cao Qian is a typical "model of other people's children".
And Cao Qian's parents are also very pleased with their daughter's achievements, in addition, the two couples also think that their daughters are very filial piety, whenever the two return home from farm work, their faces are tired, the daughter will obediently move to a small bench, tell stories to her parents, and make the two couples happy.
Therefore, Cao Qian's parents, as long as they mention their daughters, will say: "She is the greatest pride in our lives, not only sensible and obedient, but also filial piety." ”
In Cao Qian's home, the walls are all of Cao Qian's various awards, and whenever they see these awards, Cao Qian's parents will shed tears, because these awards are not a simple piece of paper, but Cao Qian brings her parents one glorious moment after another, and also depicts the beautiful future of her daughter.
2. The first rift between Cao Qian and her parents
From the beginning of the primary school and the beginning of the rise, Cao Qian's results have never been defeated, and they have been admitted to the best local schools with the best results, and when the college entrance examination, Cao Qian has obtained a good result that far exceeds a line of several tens.
She told her parents the good news and confided to them the idea of wanting to apply for the Southern University and feel a different rhythm of life, however, her father Cao Zhaogang and her mother Liu Hongyu were strongly opposed to her, and her father even said to Cao Qian: "I don't agree, you choose a local school for me, why does a girl run so far?" What should I do if something goes wrong? ”
Cao Qian, who was opposed by her parents, seems to be a belated rebel, she did not completely obey her parents' wishes, but secretly applied for two southern universities with her parents, and only filled in a local school that her parents let her choose.
However, perhaps it was cao qian, who was looking forward to poetry and distant places, and did not get her wish, and in the end, she went to the local school that she did not want to go to.
In this regard, Cao Qian's parents are very happy, but Cao Qian is unhappy, and even planted the seeds of resentment in her heart, thinking that if it were not for her parents' obstruction, she would be able to go to the school in her mind, instead of continuing to stay local and be disciplined by her parents.
Since then, Cao Qian has closed her heart and rarely talked to her parents about her heart, at most she is short of money, and will take the initiative to find her parents.
3. Cao Qian completely broke with her parents
In fact, Cao Qian's family is not rich, and her parents have already worked hard for her to go to high school, but now, Cao Qian has gone to college and has difficulty receiving subsidies.
However, perhaps it is the long-term pressure that has been accumulated in the heart, and that college entrance examination volunteer has become the last line of defense that crushed Cao Qian's heart, and after going to college, Cao Qian has changed, and she has begun to intentionally make friends with "bad boys", compare with classmates with excellent family backgrounds, and even never return at night.
What's worse is that Cao Qian, who has always had excellent grades, has hung up 6 subjects, and even graduation has become a problem.
At this time, Cao Qian also realized this, but she still did not feel that it was her own fault, thinking that if she wanted to blame her parents, it was they who did not let themselves go, and they had to control themselves, which led to such a predicament.
So, one night in her junior year, when the family sat together and ate dinner, Cao Qian and her parents said that she was going to go abroad, graduation was impossible anyway, and going abroad would be her only way out, as long as she was plated with a layer of gold, it would be easy to come back to find a job later.
However, Cao Qian's parents were in trouble, although they did not want to see their daughter's future ruined, but they needed 70,000 yuan to go abroad, and the two couples only had 10,000 yuan of savings when they were full.
Seeing that her parents did not agree at the first time, Cao Qian was very angry, and even thought that her parents just saw death and could not be saved, and finally, she directly left the bowl and chopsticks.
That night, Cao Qian's parents did not sleep, after thinking about it, the two made a decision, the next day together, Cao Zhaogang took his wife Liu Hongyu around to find relatives to borrow money, pieced together, and finally made up enough 70,000 yuan for his daughter Cao Qian to study abroad.
After getting the money, Cao Qian did not thank her half a word, naturally accepted the money, and did not ask her parents where the money came from.
Later, with this money, Cao Qian went to Germany to study, never came back, only occasionally will call Cao Father Liu Mother, and open mouths are asking for money, Cao Qian and the last phone call at home, is she asked Cao Father for money, Cao Father felt cold, scolded her, after that, Cao Qian never called home again.
After more than ten years, Cao's father suffered from kidney cancer, Liu's mother suffered from breast cancer, the two wanted to see the last side of their daughter, after several twists and turns, only to find out that the daughter who had been missing for many years, it turned out that Cao Qian changed her name and became a tenured professor at the University of Munich, obviously, Cao Qian is a successful person, but she is not willing to return to China to see her parents.
Later, Liu Mother died, Cao Qian did not go back, someone once asked her why she did not go back, her answer was: busy work, no time, and that home is really too depressed, I just want to escape.
To tell the truth, the contradiction between Cao Qian and her parents is the lack of communication, her parents want to be good to Cao Qian, but Cao Qian can't understand that bitter heart, in Cao Qian's view, her parents just want to control her.
If in those years, when the college entrance examination volunteered, Cao Qian's father and mother Liu Qian had a good deal of business, perhaps, the gap between each other would not become more and more intense, even to the point of old and dead, of course, Cao Qian's approach was very inappropriate, and it could even be said that it was chilling, or many years later, thinking back on this scene, she would regret it.
