Preamble:
In 2020, an unprecedented joy enveloped a small mountain village in Guangdong, because the pride of the village, Xiao Cao, was admitted to the nationally famous Tsinghua University! When the news spread, the neighbors and neighbors of the entire village rushed to celebrate, and the red lanterns were hung high at the door of Cao's house, and the sound of firecrackers crackled.
You must know that mountain villages are not as good as the educational resources of cities, and it is not easy to produce a student who can be admitted to Tsinghua University. However, just when everyone was immersed in joy, the village chief suddenly realized that something was wrong. He carefully studied every word on the notice, and suddenly, he whispered, "This...... How can there be a typo on this? ”
"Can I still go to this university?" A villager asked cautiously. Everyone was worried that the wrong notice might make the child unable to go to college and affect Xiao Cao's future, and Xiao Cao was standing aside at this time, feeling uneasy......
01 A remote mountain village, a diligent child.
In their village, most of the villagers make a living from farming, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, Xiaocao's parents know the power of knowledge and the pain of not being educated, so they want their children to get out of here.
Therefore, when Xiao Cao was born, his parents had endless high hopes for him. They hope that Xiao Cao can change his destiny through the power of knowledge, and no longer repeat their hard and barren life, every time they chat with their son, they ask him to study, and ask him to be admitted to a good university.
Although Xiao Cao is not very smart, he is very willing to learn knowledge, because in his heart, he also hopes that one day he can use his achievements to go out of the village and earn money to repay his parents.
However, as she grew older, Cao felt the pressure from reality. Not only did his grades not improve, but he was often at the bottom of his class. Sometimes the teacher's lectures are obscure, and he always can't sleep all night because of his homework.
02 If you play extraordinarily, you will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University.
After the high school entrance examination, Xiao Cao's grades were like autumn leaves, quietly slipping. He could only be admitted to the general high school in the village, and at that moment, he seemed to see the bleakness of his future. But he didn't dare to tell his parents, for fear of their disappointed eyes, and even more afraid that the heavy pressure of life would crush their already overwhelmed backbone.
It's just that his parents are still looking forward to the child's excellent grades in the future and going out of the mountain village. So, whenever his parents asked about his studies, Cao Rui always smiled and lied, saying that he did well in school and was among the top in his grades. He used his lies to weave a beautiful dream for his parents, making them mistakenly believe that his son was working for a bright future.
However, behind the lie, there is Xiao Cao's anxiety and uneasiness for countless nights, and he is more and more afraid to let his parents until the truth. The three years of high school are like a white horse passing by, fleeting. The day of the college entrance examination is approaching day by day, but Xiao Cao's heart is getting heavier and heavier. He knew that his grades simply did not meet the university's admission standards, but he still did not want to face this harsh reality.
So, on the day of the college entrance examination, he chose to "lie again", and after the exam, he told his parents that he did very well in the exam, and at this time he played extraordinarily, and even the exercises he usually did appeared in the exam, and he would definitely be admitted to university. However, when the results come out and there is no acceptance letter at home, everything is over!
So, in anxiety and helplessness, Xiaocao began to look for possible solutions on the Internet. A small advertisement came into his sight, claiming that he could forge the admission letter, which made Xiao Cao see hope, so he took out the 3,000 yuan he had saved and bought a "fake Tsinghua admission letter" from the other party. Prepare it and send it to your parents shortly after.
After more than ten days, the doorbell of Xiao Cao's house suddenly rang, and Xiao Cao hurriedly ran to open the door, his face was filled with unconcealable anticipation and excitement: That's right, it is the admission letter of Tsinghua University!
He handed the admission letter to his parents, and his father smiled from ear to ear, he held the notice and admired it over and over again, his joy was overflowing, the whole village had not produced a top student for a long time, let alone his son was admitted to Tsinghua University.
My father excitedly said that he would tell everyone in the village and would hold a grand banquet to celebrate him, so that everyone could share the joy.
However, in the face of his father's enthusiasm and persistence, Xiao Cao seemed a little uneasy. He tried to persuade his father to keep a low profile and simply celebrate at home, but Lao Cao was completely immersed in joy and could not listen to any dissuasion.
My father said that the college banquet is a big event, not only his personal glory, but also the pride of the whole family and the whole village.
03 Obvious error on the notice.
To this end, the parents did not hesitate to use their savings for many years to find several chefs to prepare a luxurious feast for the whole village. The faces of the villagers who learned of this were full of happy smiles, and in this laughter, only Xiao Cao seemed to be preoccupied and frowned.
On the day of the banquet, Lao Cao lit a lot of firecrackers and hung banners at the door, but Xiao Cao hid and hardly dared to show his face at the banquet.
The villagers who rushed here were just to see a Tsinghua University notice, so they asked Lao Cao to take out the admission notice for everyone to see, so that they could go home and let their children study harder, after all, Xiao Cao is one of the top students in the village, and can be used as a benchmark and example.
It's just that this look shows the problem. On the admission letter, the words that should have been written as "higher education" have been changed to "advanced education"; The word "report" in the reporting time was also mistakenly written as "report". Why is Tsinghua's admission letter full of errors?
When they received the notice before, Lao Cao's family was patronized and happy, and they didn't come to check what was written carefully, and after everyone found out that the notice was wrong, Xiao Cao's parents began to read it word by word. When they saw those "typos", many questions arose in their hearts, and they couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of this notice.
The originally lively college entrance banquet scene was immediately filled with a tense atmosphere. Everyone was talking about "is there something going on here?" Some people began to worry about whether this would affect Xiao Cao's future, and some even suggested that Tsinghua should immediately contact the Tsinghua side to verify the authenticity of this notice, and Lao Cao's family also felt unprecedented pressure.
04 The sadness of "poor students".
After holding the supposed festive college banquet and sending off the happy villagers, Lao Cao's family fell into unprecedented silence and anxiety. Considering that Xiao Cao was not an outstanding student before, and the obvious typos on the current notice, these doubts hung in the hearts of Lao Cao's family.
They angrily pressed their son to know the truth of the matter, and in the face of his father's questioning, Xiao Cao took a deep breath, looked at his father firmly, and resolutely said: This notice is true! Lao Cao listened to his son's answer, and was even more puzzled in his heart: How could it really be a typo?
But his son Xiaocao still insisted that the notice was no problem, there was no way, and Lao Cao could only find a neighbor in the same village to check the results. When the test results came out, Lao Cao and his wife were almost dizzy, only 235 points, this number is barely a mountain song college at most, Tsinghua University don't even think about it.
Xiao Cao finally confided in his parents the long-buried secret: since he was a child, his parents were always busy with his livelihood, leaving early and returning late, and never had the leisure time to ask him about his studies. When he thought of his parents' hard work, and those eyes full of expectations, but when he looked at his results, he didn't know what to tell his parents.
And the heavy expectations of his parents have also become a shackle in Xiao Cao's heart, and the more he thinks about it, the more he can't learn, and gradually the pressure in his heart is getting bigger and bigger. "The pressure of studying in high school is like a mountain, and my grades just can't be improved." Xiao Cao's voice was choked with a hint of choking, "I don't want to disappoint you, and I'm even more afraid of your disappointment." ”
So, in order to surprise his parents, Xiao Cao began to look for an institution to "apply for a certificate" from the Internet - gritted his teeth, took out the 3,000 yuan he had accumulated for a long time, and forged an admission letter from Tsinghua University. What Xiao Cao thought in his heart was: secretly go to school to concentrate on the exam, and when he is really admitted to Tsinghua University, he will surprise his parents with the real admission letter.
After listening to their son's story, after learning the truth about their son's forgery of the admission letter, Lao Cao and his wife were heartbroken, they regretted their neglect of their son's studies for many years, and they were also angry at their son's extreme measures to meet their expectations.
Although there was a lot of gossip about the "Tsinghua University Banquet" in the village, the Cao family's parents chose to face it bravely.
After opening up their hearts and talking with their children in depth, they know the hard work of their son over the years, he really studied hard after three years of study, and tried his best to study but couldn't get grades, and he was sad and scared and didn't dare to face it, now his parents understand his situation and are willing to consider it from his standpoint, Xiaocao began to regret his impulses and decisions, and admitted his mistakes frankly with his parents.
Although the Cao family's parents were shocked and disappointed after hearing this, they saw Xiao Cao's sincerity and courage, and repeatedly let go of the mustard in their hearts, forgave their son's behavior, and his parents also encouraged him to start over and use his own efforts and strength to prove his worth.
After a period of rest, Xiao Cao packed his bags and embarked on the journey of leaving his hometown to work.
In the end, Xiao Cao bid farewell to the familiar fields and smoke-filled villages, and stepped on the train to an unfamiliar city to work and make money, ready to use his hard-working hands to create his own life.
Epilogue:
In this world full of opportunities and challenges, can the quality of grades really determine the quality of a child? Recently, there is often a popular saying: good grades to serve the motherland, bad grades to Cheng Huan, this incident is indeed like a storm, impacting Xiao Cao and his family, however, it is this wind and rain that gives them the opportunity to really understand each other's thoughts.
In the face of many "incredible" things done by their children, most parents will always reprimand or even beat and scold for unknown reasons, let alone say, "Child, we have never really understood you." ”
As a parent, don't just focus on the numbers on your report card and ignore your child's inner desires and struggles. Because only by truly understanding the inner needs of children can we give them the most sincere love and support. No matter what, as long as people can maintain a firm heart and indomitable spirit, no matter how good or bad the results are, they can create their own brilliant life.
