The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 47 Is it worthless if you don't go to college?

In Wang Shaodong's mind, a concept is gradually forming now.

In the breeding industry, if you can develop your own characteristics and create your own brand, then you will not have to worry about sales or profits in the future.

If my chickens usually use honeysuckle leaves and salvia seeds to drink water to improve immunity in the future, will the chickens raised in this way be good for human health?

Wang Shaodong thought that maybe his speculation was correct, and then the chickens he raised could be called "herbal chickens" in the next step.

Of course, Wang Shaodong didn't dare to make random conclusions before getting accurate experimental results.

Three days of rainy days finally passed, and after lunch, Wang Shaodong yelled for his father, Wang Fumin, to find a farm firewood truck to get some honeysuckle leaves and red sage seeds.

Then Wang Fumin went out on the front foot, but Ma Lili came on the back foot.

I haven't seen Ma Lili for several days, and I don't know how long it will take for my father to find the agricultural firewood truck, so Wang Shaodong wanted to ask Ma Lili about her volunteer application.

But Zhao Shiling, Wang Shaodong's mother, saw Ma Lili coming, so she went to the chicken coop and avoided it.

"Did you sign up for your volunteer?"

Wang Shaodong saw Ma Lili sitting on the edge of his parents' kang, so he sat on the sofa, looked at Ma Lili and asked.

There were peaches on the coffee table, Wang Shaodong picked up one and handed it to Ma Lili.

"Sweet or sour?" Ma Lili asked.

Wang Shaodong knew that Ma Lili liked sour and not sweet, and the peach happened to be sour.

"Sour, to your liking."

Ma Lili smiled and took the peach that Wang Shaodong handed over, took a bite, and then asked vaguely, "Brother Dongzi, what did you just say?"

"I asked you if you volunteered?"

"I applied to Qilu Normal University. I don't know if I can be admitted."

Wang Shaodong said in his heart that Qilu Normal University has a very low admission score this year, and it will be stable after passing the first line, while Ma Lili's score is above the first line.

"Definitely no problem."

Ma Lili lowered her head in silence for a while, then suddenly raised her head, frowned, looked at Wang Shaodong and asked, "Go to Fourth Middle School to repeat your studies, next year you can be admitted to Tsinghua University."

Wang Shaodong chuckled, Tsinghua?If you really have that level, maybe you really want to try it.However, unless he was dreaming, with his current strength, Tsinghua Tongfang could pass the exam.

"why are you laughing?"

Ma Lili was a little puzzled, she frowned and asked Wang Shaodong.

Wang Shaodong quickly waved his hands and said, "Oh no, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Shaodong tried his best to restore his normal expression, then looked at Ma Lili and said, "I don't plan to go to school anymore."

When Ma Lili heard this, her mouth became O-shaped in surprise, and she looked at Wang Shaodong: "Why? Your academic performance is so good, and you still...you can't get it this year? Isn't your 12 years of hard work in vain? gone?"

Seeing that Ma Lili was very puzzled, Wang Shaodong decided to explain: "You can't say that. I have been studying hard in school for the past 12 years, not for the purpose of entering a university."

"If it's not for the college entrance examination, what is it for?" Ma Lili was a little excited, and her speech speed increased.

"Well, for this."

Wang Shaodong glanced at a professional book on raising chickens on the coffee table, it was a large thick volume, then picked it up casually, and flipped through the catalogue.

Ma Lili was really speechless, and sighed: "Hey, what are you doing? You have studied for 12 years, your grades are so good, you work so hard, and you come back to raise chickens?"

Wang Shaodong looked at Ma Lili innocently, then nodded and said, "That's right, to raise chickens."

"My dad, your dad, and Uncle Jiaqing and Uncle Jiaxiang, who has a higher level of education? Don't they all keep chickens? Brother Dongzi, if you listen to me, you should go to No. [-] Middle School for a repeat year. Next year The college entrance examination, good or bad, can be regarded as an explanation for yourself. Besides, with your brain, I also believe that you will win the provincial champion next year in the college entrance examination. Raising chickens? Hehe, raising chickens, I don’t even know what to say about you.”

It can be seen that Ma Lili despises the work of raising chickens, which makes Wang Shaodong a little unhappy.

"Raising chickens? You mean anyone can do chicken raising, it's not a promising job, right?"

"Isn't it just raising chickens? What can you do?"

Wang Shaodong nodded, and then asked Ma Lili: "Then let me ask you now, why did you go to college?"

Ma Lili was stunned by this sentence. Since childhood, teachers and parents have instilled a kind of thinking that she must go to college, and then she will have a way out after she goes to college.However, as for what is the way out and the real reason for going to college, even high school seniors, many of them can't figure it out.

Ma Lili frowned and thought for half a minute, then said, "If you don't go to college, how can you be successful?"

"If you don't go to university, you will still be successful. The college entrance examination only examines the ability of the exam. However, in the society, if you want to adapt to the society, you need more abilities that cannot be tested by the college entrance examination. Including communication skills, organizational skills, leadership, management Ability, cooperation ability, etc. Therefore, those selected through an examination such as the college entrance examination may not be better adapted to society than those who cannot enter university. It’s really hard to say. In the future, it’s possible for someone who graduated from junior high school to be a boss, and who graduated from university to work part-time. Didn’t you go to university to find a job you like? Isn’t it to live the life you like in the future? I now know the life I like Why should I go to college when I’m raising chickens?”

What Wang Shaodong said made Ma Lili speechless. After a long time, Ma Lili asked softly: "Do you really like raising chickens?"

"Like, like raising chickens as much as you like being a country schoolteacher."

Ma Lili frowned, thinking carefully about what Wang Shaodong said just now.

Few people can figure out what kind of work they like to do and what kind of life they like to live in the future. When they figure it out, it will be too late.

Ma Lili asked herself repeatedly: Do I like being a rural teacher?I really like being a country teacher?Have I told Wang Shaodong before?How else would he know that I like being a country teacher?How can I not remember when I told him?

Some things, the role of psychological suggestion is often decisive.

Wang Shaodong knew that Ma Lili wanted to be a teacher in the future, but he quietly added a rural attributive to Ma Lili's life ideal, which might really change Ma Lili's life.

Wang Shaodong likes Ma Lili, and he has figured this out since his previous life.Now he has to work hard to make Ma Lili return to Qingquanling Village as a rural teacher after graduating from university, so his chances will be great.
