Chapter 497: My "Specialty"

In 2019, Qiao Bowen faced the first major turning point in his life - from young to small. Mr. Qiao was originally full of confidence, and with good policies, his children could be given priority to go to good schools. But he underestimated the intensity of the competition, and the school that his wife was interested in needed a child interview.

Chief Qiao didn't understand it very much, and scolded passionately, this is not looking for a job, a group of five or six-year-old children, what can they interview for?

Mrs. Qiao chuckled: "You have really been out of reality for too long, you go to their kindergarten to see, all of them are little people, better than adults! Thanks to you, our son can go directly to the interview. In some schools, even parents have to attend interviews!"

As a result, Mrs. Qiao said lightly: "I added a parent group two days ago, and there are a lot of returnees in it, and their children are our son's competitors." โ€

Chief Qiao was dumbfounded, he used to think that the most difficult place to enter was his unit, but there was no need to draw lots during the selection! He didn't dare to imagine that if he was born in 1985 and traveled to today, he had been running around in the alleys since he was a child, and he was only good at going to the sea and trees, he might not even be able to get into a kindergarten, and there would be no "Qiao Gang Leader" who was dominating the campus at all.

Because the companionship time is too short, on the issue of children's education, Chief Qiao unconditionally obeys his wife. When Qiao Bowen was preparing for the interview, it was all prepared by Mrs. Qiao. She played the role of an examiner over and over again, helping the children rehearse the interview process. The examiner will definitely ask about the "specialty", Mrs. Qiao made a difficulty, the child has too many specialties, which one to write?

He can make simple English conversations, has good language skills, likes to read popular science picture books, likes to read maps, memorizes subway station directions, and can recognize common firearms at a glance...... He is not noisy, does not waste food, and is polite to adults......

But Mrs. Qiao finally said: "Commander, if the teacher asks you what your 'specialty' is, you can say, you know judo, and you have been learning it for three years, okay?"

Jobwen only looked through his science picture book and said "oh" hastily.

On the day of the interview, looking at her well-behaved son, Mrs. Qiao confidently brought him to school. As a result, as soon as she entered the test preparation room, she was stunned by the children. Most of them are looking through English books or interesting math problems. Sitting next to them, a parent whispered a reminder of simple chemistry knowledge. Although the classroom was quiet, a boy could still be heard reciting "Red Cliff Fu" in the corridor.

The children's resumes are even more terrifying, some have won awards in dance competitions, some have already passed the piano level 2 exam, and some have participated in English speech competitions...... Mrs. Jo looked at her son again, as if he had done nothing, and he was already much dimmer than the other children.

Alas, it's all her husband's fault, as soon as she comes home, she teaches her son not to do his job. He sat face-to-face with his son in sit-ups, took his son to the park in the community to climb the "ladder", and hung his son on the parallel bars to practice arm strength...... Several times she saw her, she was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Practicing judo was also suggested by him, and Mrs. Qiao originally planned to let her son learn taekwondo, but Chief Qiao thought about it and let him choose judo, the reason being: "Judo was practiced after I went to college, and we can be sparring partners with each other." As long as our son is not a professional athlete, then he can train until he is 20 years old, and I can beat him. โ€

Listen, that's all about it. Mrs. Joe asked him, what about Taekwondo? Chief Joe didn't seem to hear it, and walked away with a clear throat.

Since judo could be a game between father and son, Mrs. Jo chose judo for her son. As a result, judo was not so popular, and there were almost zero competitions for young children, resulting in Joe Bowen not winning any awards.

So, looking at the confident children around her, Mrs. Qiao became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but blame her husbandโ€”all to blame him!

So, before it was her son's turn, she repeatedly advised: "You have to tell the teacher that you are about to take the exam and participate in the competition, your judo is very good, you know?"

Qiao Bowen nodded nonchalantly, and then walked into the classroom.

The teachers in the interview were all amiable, but it was Qiao Bowen, who answered very little every time, and shook his head calmly when he encountered a question, which was even colder than the teacher. The teacher really asked him what he was best at, and Qiao Bowen said lightly: "Separate." โ€

He was too young to know that the more advanced word than "separation" was "parting", but this answer obviously surprised the teachers.

"Why?"

Qiao Bowen still said calmly: "I like to play with my dad the most, but my dad is rarely at home, I want to follow my mother, but I often go to my grandparents' house, I don't want my parents, I don't want my grandparents, but I'm used to it, and it's good everywhere." โ€

The teachers looked at each other, and Qiao Bowen continued to say slowly: "Every time my father leaves the house, I cry, and my mother also cries, so I don't cry. I miss my grandparents, and when I cry, my parents are very sad, so I don't cry. I also have two aunts and a dog friend...... I was separated from them, but I stopped crying. โ€

Qiao Bowen said that he didn't cry, but the teachers present couldn't help crying.

His father's occupation was written on his registration form, so even though his statement was not very complete, the teachers understood.

As a result, on the evaluation form, almost all the teachers wrote the same comments - they have a calm that is not commensurate with their age, good language skills, strong adaptability, and high emotional intelligence.

After Qiao Bowen entered the school, the teacher in charge of the interview at that time specially found Mrs. Qiao and told her about the interview process. As a result, Mrs. Joe also hid in the car, crying red eyes.

A few years back, Qiao Bowen was still a little doll a little over two years old at that time, his father was a big hero abroad, and he and his mother depended on each other in China.

Soon after his dad left, his mom found out she was pregnant again. The grandparents who were far away in Hong Kong City wanted to take him over, but his mother refused: "Qiao Bowen is still too young, and I can't bear to be separated from him for so long." โ€

His grandfather Lao Qiao still has to be busy with the business of the store, and his grandmother Mr. Li is retired, but she is still strong enough to start a business. Teacher Li wanted to spend some time with her daughter-in-law, but her son, Chief Qiao, politely rejected the idea.

Qiao Nan told Wen Jing that although Teacher Li's temper is much better than before after experiencing several disasters for her children, there is a premise, and the premise is that Comrade Qiao, who has a good temper, should be her punching bag. If he leaves Lao Qiao, and Mr. Li's temper has nowhere to vent, then who can stand it?

Wen Jing stayed away from her in-laws, although she was tired, she didn't have to worry about the conflict between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she was very comfortable. When she became pregnant again, her husband suggested that she send her son back to Hong Kong City, but she was still reluctant.

Her good friend Su Xue often takes care of her, but Su Xue also has her own family and can't live with her every day. But even so, even if she is tired every day, Wen Jing still wants to take the child by herself.

Shortly after New Year's Day in 2016, Qiao Bowen contracted the flu and had a high fever in the middle of the night. Although there is a nanny to help take care of him, Qiao Bowen, who is so sick and dazed, just wants his mother to hug him.

Wen Jing had no choice but to hold her son and sing nursery rhymes, and finally put him to sleep. As soon as she put her son down, she felt that the situation was very bad. Sure enough, as soon as she stood up, she bled a lot.

At that time, she was really scared, worried that the little life in her stomach would not be saved, but fortunately it was just a false alarm. The doctor advised her to stay in bed, so what should Qiao Bowen do? Wen Jing was helpless, so she had to call her mother-in-law's phone.

During that time, she accumulated too many tired grievances, and the resentment towards her husband came to her heart again, and she couldn't stop crying on the phone. Teacher Li also cried on the other end of the phone, how could she not know the pressure that Wen Jing was under?

Old Qiao's waist is not good, and the task of picking up Qiao Bowen falls on Li Lanzhi. She brought a lot of supplements to her daughter-in-law, and apologized to her for her son: "It's Qiao Nan who is sorry for you, when he comes back, I will clean him up for you!"

Wen Jing was so thin that she lost her appearance, and she was in no mood to blame her husband. She said, "I'm an adult and I can understand him, but what about a child? He is clamoring for dad every day, what can I do?"

As long as he goes to other children's houses, Qiao Bowen always loses his temper when he comes home, and if he doesn't eat or drink, he wants his father. If other children ask him why he doesn't have a father, he gets angry: "I have a father!

"Then why don't you go home?"

"He's beating the bad guys!" Qiao Bowen argued, and said: "Xixi (Su Xue's son) brother's father is not coming home either!"

After a long time, Qiao Bowen seems to have become reticent, and he doesn't like to go to children's houses to play, and he doesn't even rely on his mother anymore to let her turn her father back. He likes to play with the tank his father bought for him the most, and every time he has a good time, he doesn't feel lonely.

After a long time, not to mention Wen Jing, even the nanny was worried: "Commander, will it become more and more withdrawn?"

Wen Jing also had the same worries, not to mention that she was pregnant and couldn't accompany him like before. So, it's also good for him to let his in-laws pick him up and let him go to the lively auspicious road, right?

But the parting was too painful, Qiao Bowen was carried away by his grandmother, he shouted "Mom" at the airport one after another, each sound was like a knife to her heart, and she almost covered her ears and fled the airport.

returned to Hong Kong City, Qiao Bowen didn't get used to it immediately, he had to look for his mother every day, and he cried when he couldn't find it. The old couple had no choice but to find a video of his mother, and in the end, the mother and son cried together.

Old Joe felt very uncomfortable, in his words, the commander was crying at the beach, his mother was crying in the southwest, and his father could only smoke in Africa and couldn't sleep.

Who is easy? This family of three, none of them are easy.
