On the day of Waquan's son's first birthday, according to the custom of "grasping the week", among the many objects, the child grabbed a pen at once, and made Waquan happy, saying that it was worthy of my son, so he understood his father's expectations. Because from the moment his son was in the womb, Waquan planned to train his son to enter a prestigious university, go to graduate school, become a great intellectual, make up for the shortcomings of not having gone to college in his life, and change the days when his ancestors nestled in the countryside for generations. It can be said that this is his greatest long-cherished wish in this life.
Who knows that the "catch the week" this play is not effective, this child went to school, the results are very unsatisfactory, high and low, the best time is medium. Waquan was very angry, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, saying that this child looked refined and well-behaved, how could he not learn to go up?
His wife persuaded him, saying that you should be satisfied, just the teaching conditions in our ravine, the child can learn this, it is not bad. A word reminds the dreamer, WaQuan patted his head, said yes, now many families are sending their children to the school in the city to study, we can not stay in this rural school, in the future will affect the future of the child. His wife skimmed her lips and said that people have that condition, can our family compare? Wa Quan craned his neck and said that if there is no condition to create conditions, he must go, that is, smash the pot and sell iron, and let him read a good book, and if I do not achieve this goal, I will not be blind.
At the beginning of junior high school, Waquanto's relatives and friends spent a lot of school selection fees to send his son to the school in the county.
However, after a period of time, the son's grades not only did not increase as high as the sesame blossoms, but the frosted eggplant leaves and leaves slipped downhill. What's going on? Someone told him that in the same school, the teachers in each class also have good and bad qualities, and 80% of your son has not been assigned to a good class. After Waquan listened, he paid for the activities and put his son in the class that was said to be the best. But a semester has passed, my son's academic performance has still not improved much, and he has developed a sense of boredom. Waquan was puzzled and distressed.
Once, Waquan went to the school to deliver something to his son, and accidentally found that many students did not live in the school dormitory, but rented a house near the school, and their parents came to accompany them. He thought that this method was preferable, and there were so many people in the dormitory, which was not conducive to safe study. Rented a house and could study alone in a single room, very quiet. In addition, there are family members who supervise and help take care of life, which also reduces the burden on children and saves time for studying. Good! Let's do the same!
Waquan rented a house nearby, sent his wife over to cook and wash clothes for his son, and accompanied him to study. It was a great burden on my son, saying Daddy, you are simply forcing me. I know for myself that I am not a piece of reading material, and no matter how you process it, it will be difficult for me to become a talent on this road. Our family's economic conditions are not very good, you are so hungry and indebted to the investment, let me feel very unbearable, I really do not know what to do. Waquan waved his hand and said shut up! Others don't talk about! If you really understand us, stop me from reading.
It was almost the end of the term, Waquan went into the city to see the situation, and his wife looked frustrated, shook her head, and said: "No, there is no change, how can it be choked!" I see, this is genetic, like you. Waquan listened, jumped up, and said, "You nonsense! I didn't catch up with the good times, and my family was too poor to provide for me, so I dropped out of school. If my father created conditions for me like this, I would definitely be admitted to college, do you believe it? The wife shook her head and said, "Now it is not that you are not allowed to take the exam, and now there is no age limit, you take the exam for me to see, and also give your son an example." ”
Waquan came to the force and said okay, I'll show you and the little bunny cub, he is about to go to high school, I think his biggest obstacle is that he doesn't have confidence in himself. I can count this as a last resort, and I guess it will be very effective. I'm so old that I'm going to be able to get in, and at that time, see what else he has to say. Surely you have confidence.
After Waquan returned home, he collected all the textbook materials, took out the momentum of breaking the boat, found someone to tutor, picked the lamp to read at night, and desperately studied and prepared for the exam. After years of not touching books, I suddenly picked them up to raid and study, during which it was difficult to say. The whole man was thin and undressed, and his hair was almost out. But it can be said that those who have lofty ideals can be accomplished, and the nearly 50-year-old Waquan has taken the exam for two consecutive years, and finally broke through the score line and was admitted to a good university. His tired face was full of joy, and he felt that this time, he would definitely bring confidence and courage to his son. Ha ha! For the sake of the son, worth it!
WaQuan solemnly put dahong's admission letter in front of his wife and son, and said: "Boy, your father has been admitted to college, the next step, what should you do, just weigh it yourself!" The son was ashamed, half silent, and got up to pack his bags. Waquan and his two sons didn't know why, so they said what are you going to do? The son replied without raising his head while packing his luggage, saying: "What else can I do, go out to work to earn tuition, do some obligations for my grandfather, and provide for my father to go to college!" ”
The son's answer almost made Waquan go back.
