1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Hey? How did you get here?"

I waited until the kindergarten was dismissed. When I came here, I saw Han Xiuying waiting for Doudou.

"Today's work was handled faster, so I was just lazy. I've been too busy recently. I have to go to each village to check the situation of the primary school tomorrow." Han Xiuying said.

"I really can't not keep an eye on it. These are all orders from the county, and they have given so much support. Some villages are still very slow in action."

"This is also normal. We can't always use the speed of our village to measure other villages. Let's put it this way, let alone the county, there is no such thing in the city." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Dad, Dad, Sister Yingzi, Sister Yingzi."

At this time, Doudou also strolled out of the kindergarten. Seeing that both of them were there, he shouted happily.

"I'm going home soon. Whose car are you taking?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Sister Yingzi's." Doudou didn't even think about it and directly took Han Xiuying's hand.

Han Xiuying looked at him triumphantly, and led Doudou to the car with a victorious step.

Chen Tiezhu was helpless. His daughter was still very opinionated.

"Tiezhu, wait a minute."

As soon as he walked to his car, he saw Li Yinglin riding a bicycle.

"What are you doing? Why are you here?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

"I'm going to your house for a meal. I'm giving myself a day off today."

Li Yinglin put his bicycle aside and got into the car.

"What are you doing? Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law and want to run away from home?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

"What are you running away for? I've bought the smoked chicken for Doudou." Li Yinglin rolled his eyes at him.

"It's mainly because I've been working overtime recently, so I haven't had a day off. Now my house is a place for your nephew to review his homework, so I won't go back to disturb him."

"Hahaha, just hold on for a while. Hold on for a month or so, and then another three years and it'll be over." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Li Yinglin glanced at him, "Do you still have the right to say such cool words? When Doudou grows up, won't he have to go through this road again? Even if you have money, don't you have to think about it and hope that Doudou can live a more relaxed life in the future?"

"Uh..., this is quite reasonable." Chen Tiezhu's face suddenly became bitter.

The scene of tutoring Doudou's homework appeared in his mind, which didn't seem very beautiful.

He was also very grateful in his heart. Fortunately, kindergarten teachers now don't assign so many handicraft classes to parents. In the future, elementary schools and middle schools, there is no need to find so many extracurricular tutoring classes for Doudou.

"How is Dahua ranked in their school?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"I can be ranked in the top 20 in the whole grade, otherwise why would I want to enter a technical secondary school in the first place." Li Yinglin said.

"But since you, my uncle, have pointed out the way, I will just go for high school and university. Even if I don't understand it, I have nothing to fear with you as my uncle."

"This guy, what's wrong with him?" Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"As long as this result is maintained, there will be basically no problem. Even in the whole county, it can be ranked in the top 50. It is still no problem to be admitted to the key high school in our county."

"By the way, how is the result of the child in your village?" Li Yinglin asked curiously.

"I asked him once when I was picking mushrooms last time. As long as he can perform normally, he will be able to succeed." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Each of our towns has a quota, but he can't use it at all. He must have exceeded the admission line. It's an honor for our town."

"Should I say it? The teaching quality of the township middle school is really worse than that of the county. When they are asked to go to key universities in the future, there will be a gap between universities."

"Let's talk about it in the future. People also say that high school is also a watershed. Many children who do well in junior high school will not be able to keep up in high school." Li Yinglin said distressedly.

"In the past, I really didn't think about the future of my child. I thought that I could find a job, get married and live a good life."

"Now, I have a lot of ideas and I think a little too far. I hope my child can learn better, get into a good university, and live in a big city."

"But then I thought, if he lives in a big city, what will your sister-in-law and I do? Thinking about it this way, I feel a little worried. What do you think we can do?"

"What to do? Nothing to do." Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

"These are inevitable things. When you joined the army, did you ever think about whether you could come back? So we have to take these things one step at a time. "

"Parents all over the world are pitiful. They all hope that their children will be well. But what is really good? No one can tell. What about the future? Why think so much? "

"How can I not think about it? How long is it going to last?" Li Yinglin said.

"There are only three years left, right? After graduating from high school, you have to take the college entrance examination. If you pass the examination, you don't know where you will go. If studying medicine is not too tiring, I would like him to take the medical school in our city. "

"At least your uncle has some ability in this area, and he can borrow some light from me when the time comes. Even if he graduates, he can go to the provincial capital at most if he goes far away."

"I won't interfere with you in this matter. You know what it's like to study medicine." Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly.

"And I think you still have to ask the child about this matter. Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Why don't you take it to heart at all?"

"Then let's wait until we get to high school. It's useless to say it now, because we haven't taken the high school entrance exam yet." Li Yinglin said.

"But it's too worrying." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"At least you have to see what your child wants to do in the future, and then choose a school and a major. You know what's going on with the three special schools of military, police, and medicine anyway."

"Besides, even if he is admitted to the provincial capital, his future workplace may not be in the provincial capital. It's all uncertain, so don't think about it."

"Why are you like this? I was thinking of asking you to comfort me, but you're just making things difficult for me." Li Yinglin was very worried.

Chen Tiezhu laughed, "It's like this, how can others get involved in this matter? As long as you are sure, you can help in the future."

"For example, if he is admitted to the military academy, let Brother Zhenwu train him in the future. If he gets into a medical school, you can take any exam, no matter which one, I can take care of him. "

"Not to mention the police academy, right? This is your own territory. As for other schools, it doesn't matter. The key is to focus on what he wants to do, right? "

He was somewhat gloating, anyway, seeing Li Yinglin so entangled, he was still very happy.
