"That's why you asked me to learn to cook, I'm afraid that one day I'll be like Cousin Xia Ning?"

Wen Xiang's mother slowed down and said: "It's not good to be a chef, have you heard of the people at the south entrance of Fengling Town, their son is a chef, and when he was cooking for a restaurant, the gas tank exploded and was killed on the spot." The body was blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and it took two days to pull it back from the field, and it may be buried tomorrow. ”

"That's why I'm just looking for you today and asking you to continue to retake the high school entrance exam. Wen Xiang's mother reiterated.

Wen Xiang suddenly remembered that more than 20 kilometers away from Chaoge County, there was a student who was admitted to Peking University, and after working hard for a few years, he returned to his hometown, gnawed at the old for more than ten years, and finally became a poor household.

Wen Xiang asked: "Will it be possible to become a poor household if you are admitted to university, like the Peking University graduate near Chaoge County?" ”

Wen Xiang's mother was stunned for a moment, and said with understanding: "When did you kid learn to talk back, don't you want to go to school?" ”

Wen Xiang said: "After graduation, I am afraid of becoming a blind man when I find a job, I am afraid that I will be blown up when I learn to be a chef, and I am afraid that I will end up becoming a poor household when I am admitted to university." In the eyes of parents, why is life so difficult?"

Chaoge County is more than 40 kilometers away from Fengling Town, and the high school that Yao Yuanyu, Tao Lili, and Yan Liwei were admitted to is in the center of Chaoge County. The student who was admitted to Peking University was also the pride of Chaoge Middle School, but a few years after graduation, he returned to his hometown to farm and gnaw the old, and was ridiculed by everyone.

Wen Xiang's mother naturally heard of this Peking University graduate, she said: "Who said that people have been gnawing for more than ten years, didn't they also enter the government department, worked as a teacher for a few months, and learned to sell pork." People just don't want to work, and if they want to work, it's many times better than those of you who graduated from junior high school. ”

Because this Peking University student has never been able to adapt to society, he finally returned to the countryside, lying at home and reading, and is still unmarried and has become a well-known local figure.

Wen Xiang's mother was a little shaken, she said: "Forget it, anyway, you have a stupid head, it's not material for school, it's better to come out early to make money and contribute to society." Pay attention when you learn to cook, watch the kitchen smoke and run quickly, don't be like the family at the south entrance of Fengling Town, stupid and stupid was killed in the end. ”

Wen Xiang's mother continued: "Speaking of which, that person is still a little related to us, and I will be buried tomorrow, and I will go to the ceremony." ”

The southern area of Fengling Town, the south entrance of Fengling Town.

A concrete street about six meters wide stretches from east to west, and on both sides of the street are tall and low houses. A row of houses with white facades and red gates stands on the side of the road.

In front of a small two-story cement building, more than a dozen villagers gathered. In front of the door of the small building, a white wreath is placed, and a curtain is drawn in black and white cloth. In the main hall of the small building stands a large black and white photograph. A middle-aged couple sat dejectedly next to the statue and wept silently.

"Son, why did you leave like this, and now let us send the white-haired people to the black-haired people. The woman next to the statue cried.

A few villagers at the door sat on the side of the concrete street with chairs and talked about it.

The old couple just graduated from cooking school this year and only worked in the restaurant for two months, but the gas tank in the back kitchen of the restaurant exploded, blowing up the doors, windows, and glass of the restaurant, and half of the walls collapsed. Poor baby, just graduated from cooking school and hung up. ”
