Chapter 8 A Family with an Old Man Is a Treasure

Before he finished speaking, Wu Binghua immediately turned his face and said: "Wu Tao, why are you talking? Can't you hope that your brother will be well?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the old man threw his chopsticks: "Are you guilty of saying this? It is also your son. How strict was Xiaotao when he was a child, how much he suffered, and how tired he was? How could it be Xiao Jiang's turn?" , just another set of standards?”

The way they dote on Yao'er, even the old man can't stand it anymore.

"...Take a step back, even if different people have different fates. If Xiaojiang is spoiled by you like this, he will be a puddle of mud in the future, and he will not be able to support the wall at all! At that time, what face do you have to ask Xiaotao to help you clean up the mess? Even if Xiaotao can help, if he can help for a while, can he help him forever?"

As soon as the old man spoke, Wu Binghua fell silent immediately.

Zhang Huilan was still unconvinced: "Dad, an elder brother is like a father, so when we get old, shouldn't Xiaotao take care of his younger brother?"

bang bang bang!

The old man slapped the table loudly, "You still know that an elder brother is like a father! Now Xiaotao is teaching Xiaojiang a few words, why do you always stop him? That's all. Pamper it, get used to it!"

This time even Zhang Huilan was speechless.

Not only her, but even Wu Tao himself was stunned.

The old man's outburst was completely unexpected!

This is clearly stealing the show!

But looking at the guilt-ridden and silent faces of the parents, the effect is really much better than doing it by yourself.

Thanks grandpa! Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Wu Tao put some vegetables in the bowls of the two stunned children, and then took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I plan to give up technical secondary school and go directly to high school and university!"

"What, didn't we discuss it well? Why did you give up the secondary school?" Wu Binghua looked puzzled.

"Because I want to enter a prestigious university."

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

Wu Tao was about to explain, but the old man retorted first: "Would you like to pay for Xiaojiang to go to college, but not for Xiaotao?"

Wu Binghua lit a cigarette, frowned and smoked.

This is not a matter of willingness or not. To support the eldest son to go to college, we can only rely on the two of them to contribute. Tens of thousands of yuan a year is not a small amount; but it is different for Xiao Jiang to go to college. The eldest son will share some , their burden is much lighter.

Of course, he didn't dare to mention this again, otherwise the old man would be so angry that he would not only slap the table, but might directly lift the table.

The old man continued: "A person will face countless choices in his life. No one can guarantee that every choice is correct, but as long as one principle is followed, there will be no big mistakes, that is, there must be a big picture! You can’t be wrong. If you are afraid of this and that, and your structure is small and your vision is narrow, no matter how hard you try in the future, it will be difficult to become a master!”

"...So Xiaotao wants to go to high school or university, there's nothing wrong with that! It's definitely better than some Laoshizi secondary school! I agree!"

Wu Binghua took a few puffs of cigarettes, threw them on the ground and crushed them out forcefully. He made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'll take it for you, and I'll do it for you too!"

Zhang Huilan wanted to speak, but her husband stopped her with a look.

Firstly, they realized that they owed their boss something due to the commotion today; secondly, the eldest was exactly 7 years older than the second child, and the eldest graduated from a bachelor’s degree, and he was still able to help the family raise the second child. This did not conflict with their previous ideas. .

Seeing his father agreeing, Wu Tao was quite surprised. This was much smoother than expected, all thanks to the help of Grandpa, a god!

Sure enough, an old family is like a treasure.

Even so, Wu Tao still decided to state his reasons.

According to his plan, the purpose this time is not only to get his parents to support his choice, but also to convince them.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I gave up technical secondary school for a reason."

With that said, Wu Tao walked to the 28th Street, took off his schoolbag, took out the newspaper, rummaged through some news and handed it to the three elders, "Look at these reports..."

The old man took the newspaper and shook it, and saw the eye-catching headlines:

[The Ministry of Education is planning to reform the higher education system, and it is expected to complete the promotion within three to five years]

[The disadvantages of the secondary education system are frequent, and the contradictions in the work package distribution system are prominent]

[There is a significant gap between China's education level and developed countries, and undergraduate talents are a shortcoming]

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

Zhang Huilan was illiterate, so she leaned in front of her husband's newspaper and asked anxiously, "What did the newspaper say?"

Wu Binghua was watching in shock and didn't respond.

Wu Tao replied: "Mom, this is a newspaper specially found for me by my class teacher. The reports on it have only one meaning. It is that technical secondary school students are no longer popular, and the talents that society will need in the future are undergraduates!"

"It's not popular anymore? How can I say that it's not good enough? The daughter of the old Gao's family from the seventh team in the village was admitted to the police school. Isn't the job assignment pretty good? The son of the Sun family from the sixth team was admitted to the accounting school and the salary is also very good. High!"

"Mom, they are in the past. Now the country is planning to reform. When I graduate from technical secondary school in three years, I may not be wanted and I will not be able to find a job. At that time, let alone helping Xiaojiang, I will be a fool." The river itself is hard to protect."

The old man closed the newspaper, his face became more serious.

"Xiaotao is right. Times are changing. You can't always look at the present and the future with the eyes of the past. In the past, the old Wu family had three thousand hectares of fertile land and more than a dozen guns. Now life is so rough, compared with the previous family. Shareholders are not much better!"

"... Now the newspapers have started to build momentum. When Xiaotao graduates in three years, if he catches up with the reforms and fails to get a permanent job, it will mean that more than ten years of study will be for nothing. This risk cannot be taken!"

Afterwards, Wu Binghua also put down the newspaper. With his always cautious personality, he firmly said: "That's right, you can't take the risk of not being able to get a good job after studying for more than ten years! The family is determined to support you. University!"

Seeing his father's thick eyebrows stretched much more than before, Wu Tao finally felt relieved.

If the first time he agreed was Wu Binghua's choice due to the situation; then this time, he sought out advantages and avoided disadvantages, recognized reality clearly, and fundamentally agreed with his son's decision. "

"Since we have reached an agreement," Wu Tao put away the newspaper and said happily: "Then I will announce the second decision!"

The first decision made such a fuss that the table was almost flipped over; now that the second decision was mentioned, everyone's hearts that had just been put down immediately began to slip again.

Wu Tao laughed, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I decided to go to high school and college without costing you a penny! I want to be self-reliant and pay for my own education."

Zhang Huilan froze for a moment, and then burst into tears. In order to reduce the burden on the family, my eldest son even said this. Thinking about her previous preference and monopoly on her younger son, she felt that she owed her elder son too much.

"Tao, Mom is really happy when you say this. It shows that you can understand our hard work, and that's enough. Don't worry, since your father has promised to provide for you, no matter how hard and tired we are, we will eat chaff and swallow vegetables. For you to go to college!"

If you like it, please save it. Thanks.
