Chapter 61 to Beijing

Although the family has stopped losing money, the son's academic performance has dropped significantly. The teacher also lost tolerance for the problems in his homework, and punished his son for correcting mistakes within an hour, and he couldn't finish the day's homework at all. I have discussed with him many times the reasons for the regression in his studies, but he can't figure it out on his own, and I can't figure it out. However, I am very disgusted with the practice of penalizing children for writing homework as soon as they make mistakes, especially children, because the mistakes show that his ability in that area is still very weak, and he needs to be helped slowly, and the endless punishment will only make the child's ability weaker. I made it clear to my son, "Just correct the homework you wrote," and I won't blame him for being criticized by the teacher. Because that day, I asked my son to do two difficult questions, and he got them all right, which shows that the reason for the decline in test scores is not the study itself, but what is the reason?

On October 16th, I was going to Beijing to attend the National Seminar on Innovation Education. Faced with my son's declining academic performance, should I take him with me or not? I opened his composition text, and one of the essays helped me make a decision. The essay reads:

The other day, we were playing in the woods of a desert park when we saw a bunch of birds lying underground. At this moment, an adult came with a gun and several birds, one of which was still alive. It fluttered its wings and let out a miserable wail.

I was so angry that I stepped forward and said, "Why are you shooting birds? Birds are friends of human beings, a small swallow can eat 500,000 pests in six months, and a small happy bird can protect 13 square kilometers of pine forests from pests." On behalf of the children of the world, I warn you not to hunt birds. But the lord yelled viciously, "What are you yelling about, what are you talking about, you are impatient, and you want to die." So saying, he picked up the birds in the ground, and went to shoot the birds elsewhere with his gun on his shoulder.

I shed tears of sadness, hating myself for not being able to stop this with little strength, and scolded in my heart: "This pig and dog are not as good as adults." ”

When I got home, I couldn't figure out how the country didn't have a law to protect birds, and I heard my father say that there was also a law governing guns, but why some people weren't afraid of it? I think it's only fair that birds and people should have one life at a time.

After reading my son's essay, I think: if my son used to know himself through play, then he is now using things to begin to understand society, from the beginning of the school about the teacher and traitors, to this bird hunter, his daily words and deeds have obviously changed, and he is looking for a new position for himself. If human psychological science is correct, the only way to solve the problem is to increase the understanding of society, and there will be normal abnormal fluctuations in any transition period, and the principle of respecting the child's physical and psychological development will never change.

When I went to bed at night, I said, "Joy, do you want to go to Beijing?"

"Yes. You're definitely not going to take me there. ”

"Why?"

"I'm not doing well in my studies now!" The son whispered.

"Academic performance is academic performance, the key is that you stick to the one-hour study plan?"

"Persevered. ”

"You memorize to me the poem 'Remember yourselves, don't know the causes' from the Book of the Dead. ”

The son backsized:

"In the great house, in the house of fire,

In the dark night of counting the years,

In the dark night of the Qing years,

I wish I could give me my real name back!

When the Eastern Heavenly Steps are sacred,

Give me to sit quietly beside him,

When the gods declare themselves to their names,

May I remember my real name too!"

"Rejoice, no matter how weak and frustrated you are, never forget that you are yourself. I said, "Even if you stick to the one-hour study plan and complete the study task, as for the regression in academic performance, we also encountered it in the first grade, and the situation is serious." As long as you persevere, summarize more, and find the reason, your academic performance will eventually go up, and your father will take you to Beijing the day after tomorrow. ”

"Great," exclaimed the son, then his face sank, "and Daddy's agreement won't solve the problem." ”

"Why?"

"What if Teacher Liu doesn't agree? The son said worriedly.

"Why?"

"In the past, a few students in our class who had studied well wanted to go to Yinchuan, but the teacher was afraid that it would affect their studies, and in the end, none of them succeeded. ”

"Joy, who decides the fate of man?" said my son, who was silent, "and the fate of man is determined by himself, and as long as you feel that it is reasonable for yourself and does no harm to others, you must dare to act." Learning is in the service of action, and if learning limits one's ability to act, that kind of learning is useless. It will take 12 days to go to Beijing, can I make up for the missed study?"

"Yes,"

"Daddy believes you can. I'll go ask you for leave tomorrow.

"Why don't you do it yesterday?"

"Daddy will be able to please. ”

"Why?"

"Because Dad believes that you can study efficiently for one hour a day. ”

"I'm going to be able to persevere. The son fell asleep happily.

The next day, I went to ask my son for leave. As Wang Xile said, Mr. Liu disagreed, and repeatedly said that Wang Xile's academic performance has dropped very much recently. It happened that yesterday's Chinese exam was held, and Mr. Liu specially found out his son's paper and judged it. He scored eighty-five points. I know that this score is very different for third-grade students, but I also know that in the process of implementing quality education in the country, the school's famous saying has transitioned from "knowledge is power" in 80 years to "score is power" in 90 years, and now it has developed into "time is a score, and a score is money". The school is moving towards materialization step by step, evolving into a pile of reinforced concrete that lacks cultural characteristics and taste. In this atmosphere, the mental state of teachers has changed, and the "worship" of scores has reached the peak of the peak, and it is inevitable that the personality of teachers as a whole will split in the future. To tell the truth, our education has been detached from education, ignoring the needs of students' growth, studying teaching techniques all day long, ignoring the strategies of the elderly, and putting the cart before the horse. I finished reading the paper and said:

"Teacher Liu, eighty-five points is the worst in the class, right?"

"Almost. However, there were two times when I asked him to stand up, and he did well in the exam, which is really incomprehensible!" Teacher Liu said puzzled.

"Teacher Liu, what made Wang Xile change so much?"

Teacher Liu was stopped by my question. Judging from her expression, apart from the scores, she has not encountered such a specific question from her parents. This is not a question that can be dealt with by a few big truths. Teacher Liu changed the topic and said, "What are you going to Beijing for a meeting?"

"Innovative education will be. ”

As soon as my words came out, Mr. Liu's expression appeared different. She didn't understand that someone as "contemptuous" as I had about my children's learning would go to Beijing to attend an education conference, but she didn't stop me from taking a leave of absence for my son.

Taking my son to Beijing is a good opportunity to train him to have a deeper understanding of society. In the evening I said, "Joy, in the past, it was adults who took care of you when you went out, but this time everything will be reversed." You're a third-grader, you're a man, and you're responsible for taking care of this home, and everything that happens with it. I have a plan like this: you will be responsible for all the rest of the expenses except for the train ticket. I'll give you a wallet, put 100 yuan in your bag each time, and you report to me every day, and my father believes in your ability to settle accounts and prevent theft. Do you want to believe in yourself?"

"Believe. ”

"Can you arrange this trip to Beijing?"

"Yes. ”

Spending money is a pleasure for my son.

"Dad, do you want to bring a school bag?" the son asked.

"Did you use the top of your schoolbag last time I went to Dalian?"

"Nope. ”

"Your main learning task when you go out this time is to learn to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation and protect yourself, just bring three books: Chinese, mathematics and English. ”

The next day, we set off. At noon, I went to Yinchuan for lunch, and my son carefully purchased roast chicken, instant noodles and other foods according to the itinerary. He is a person who has been trained in camping, and he has the awareness that "buying too much is a burden" in his procurement, so the amount of food purchased is very appropriate, and the things he bought in Beijing are just finished when he arrives. I touched my son's head and said:

"Joy, you have the ability to plan. Beijing is a big city with a population of 10 million, and if you don't plan well, you will spend a lot of money. ”

"I'll try. The son said.

"Beijing, Beijing! Those buildings are so beautiful!" the train entered Beijing, and his son shouted loudly by the window.

"Rejoice, the train is a public place and you can't shout. I said.

Got off the train. The son pulled the box in the row, and walked in front of him as if there was a kind of hope in his heart.

"Wow! Same as the photo in the book. "When I got out of the station, my son stood not far away and said this.

"Is Beijing Station high?"

"High. ”

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Beautiful. ”

"What should we do when we go to China Resources Hotel?"

"Ask people for directions. ”

"Is the road to the big city a way to be found?"

"It's not. It is mandatory to buy a traffic map. In the past, I used to go to Yinchuan, Hohshi, and Dalian to do this. ”

When I came to the right side of the station, I bought a Beijing traffic map, and I taught my son to look at the map and find the China Resources Hotel at the east end of Jianguo Road. I saw that the time was still early, so I took him to the Chinese Military Museum to visit. It was the first time his son had seen so many real weapons, and he ran here and there and looked at it for a while. When the freshness was over, I said:

"Joy, do you want to know the specifics of these things?"

"Yes. ”

"These cars are the special cars of the older generation of revolutionaries during the military parade for the founding of the country, you come and hug them. My son hugged the car, and I continued: "Joy, you are not hugging the car, but hugging a person who has comforted the Chinese nation, he is the most powerful person in the world." ”

Since I know a lot about weapons, through the popular fairy tale explanations, my son's understanding of weapons has gone from intuitive to three-dimensional, especially when talking about how China uses a limited radar system to attack the US U-2 reconnaissance plane. After I finished speaking, my son said:

"It seems that the difficulties are not terrible. Just use your brains and come up with a good solution. ”

When we were moving to the military museum, there was always a mother with her child who followed us. Her child is much older than Wang Xile and is likely to have just entered junior high school. At first, I didn't care, but when I got to the second floor, she followed, and I was a little surprised, and I looked back at them many times. The mother said:

"Comrade, are you a soldier?"

"It's not. I'm a teacher. ”

"The teacher knows so much about weapons. You're talking so well! Movies, television, and things in life all bring you to the museum. My home is not far from here. I bring my children here five or six times a year, and today I feel that I used to just go around, thank you for giving my children a new understanding of weapons. ”

I was embarrassed by the mother's words. But I also think that the children of Beijing can also be angry. They guard the most classic educational resources, in the face of the most classic, the most formal, the most professional explanation, the child is difficult to accept, so the child's education must be in a way that he can accept as the principle, once this principle is violated, no matter how good the educational resources will not produce good results.

Coming out of the Military Museum, I said, "Joy, have you ever taken the subway?"

"Nope. ”

"The metro is the most convenient means of transport in the city. ”

"Dad, what's the subway like?"

"Go down and you'll know. ”

After getting off the subway, I instructed the child to buy a ticket. Inside, there are not many people in the station, and the layout is simple. First of all, we looked at the subway operation map on the cylinder of the subway station, and compared it with the traffic map in my son's hand, I didn't understand it, but the subway came, "Dad, the subway is coming, hurry up and get on the train," the son said.

"The subway is coming, but we haven't figured out how to act about the subway line. I said.

"Yes. If you do it in the wrong direction, you're done. The son said.

We didn't get on until the third subway, "Dad, the subway is like a train running underground, I thought it was!" The son said in a tone that suddenly opened up.

On the subway, I pointed to the red subway operation display on the door and said, "Joy, look at the red light, where it is lit means where you are about to go." We're going to get off here. I pointed to the traffic map.

"Dad, the next stop is Dongzhi 14th Station, it's time for us to get off. After a few stops, the son said.

After entering the China Resources Hotel and completing the formalities, the two of us came to room 606. There was a guest in the room. The son first greeted the guests. I quarreled with the man. It turned out that he was the principal of Yan'an Primary School in Changchun City, and he also came to attend the meeting. After the hustle and bustle, I went to the washroom. Coming out of the washroom, I said, "Wang Xile, there is a floor plan of the hotel on the back of the door, it marks three safe passages, I will give you ten minutes to see if you can find them all." ”

"Daddy, it won't take ten minutes," the son walked neatly to the picture and looked at it and ran out, and in five or six minutes the son came back, and he said smugly, "Daddy, find them all." I was running to find it, and I didn't go to the wrong place. "You can see that the ability to argue is fantastic. I touched his head and said.

"You lead me to see if you're looking for the right thing. ”

"Guaranteed to be exactly right. The son said confidently.

"Teacher Wang, your son is so good. As soon as we came back, Principal Ning praised and said, "Generally, when a child like this is so old comes to this kind of occasion, it is difficult to have the courage to walk out of the room alone, let alone look for something, your son is really a clever ghost, it seems that he has experienced the world." I've been in contact with this kid for so long, and I feel that your son knows what he needs to do. ”

I smiled and said, "We're remote. How can children have the opportunity to see the world. Finding a safe passage is what I must do every time I take him out, but I used to need adult guidance, but I didn't expect him to be so confident today. ”

"This is only one aspect," said Principal Ning, "I found that this child is very polite and speaks very well, and there is no inhibition in contact with me as a stranger, which is very difficult for such a young child." I have been teaching primary school for more than 30 years, and I have a strong sense of professionalism about it. If your child has not seen the world, then he has a different educational experience than other children. ”

People who have real talent and real learning do not judge things based on their own opinions, but always pay attention to things from the side where things may be excellent. I talked to Principal Ning about education, and he was very enthusiastic, often asked some questions about education, and was eager to hear my views on those aspects, and before I knew it, three days passed.

That evening, the organizing committee arranged a story meeting for China's first government's Miss Universe image, at which Wang Xile rushed to answer questions from the organizers' "Rabbit Tortoise Race" story in front of hundreds of education experts, and received a handwritten notebook from the organizers. The story will be over and we will go back to the room. Principal Ning said:

"Teacher Wang, I got to know your child again at the story meeting today, and I have talked a lot about you these days, I dare to say that your child has a bright future in the future, and any difficulties are new for children of this character. ”

President Ning's words of praise are the first time I have heard the affirmation of my peers.

During the meeting, my son became familiar with urban transportation. At noon on the day the meeting ended, I said, "Joy, check the map, let's go to Tsinghua University and Tsinghua High School," and after a while, "Why don't you speak?" I said.

"Dad, the subway can't get there. I'm wondering," my son said.

"Pondering can we ponder to Tsinghua University? The important thing is action, you are pondering the route behind you when you get on the subway. ”

Through my staff officer, we came to Tsinghua University. The buildings of Tsinghua University are both familiar and unfamiliar, and the roads leading to various places have a kind of heaviness of time and space, exuding a strong literary fragrance. We took a tour on the campus bus and then took a look around the key areas.

When I left Tsinghua University and came to Tsinghua High School, the scene I saw was completely different from that of Tsinghua University. If it is said that going to Tsinghua University is easy, but going to Tsinghua High School makes people feel nervous. First of all, the doorman of Tsinghua High School, with an expression like a shriveled mummy, rejects people thousands of miles away. Unlike Tsinghua's doormen, there is a human touch. Their look at us "I want to go in and have a look" is enough to tear people's hearts apart. "Isn't it a national key middle school!" I was getting ready to leave. At this time, a middle-aged man came over, and my son and I pleaded with him, "This child is really good at talking, it seems that you are good people." Security here is so important, you press down your ID card and go in and turn around, don't enter the door that you are not allowed to enter. The middle-aged man said.

We thanked the man and led our son into the schoolyard. On campus, see top-notch stuff everywhere. When we turned to the parallel bars, there was a thick layer of plastic on the ground. I said:

"It's one thing to hear, to be happy, it's another thing to see for yourself. In the past, there was a big gap between the urban and rural school conditions, but I thought that the conditions of our school were not bad, but now our school is completely a poor nest compared to this school!"

"Dad, this school is much richer than Tsinghua University!"

The conditions here are so good that even the son who has always ignored thirty-seven twenty-one sighed. The difference in education is the difference between classes, and in the end everyone will die in confrontation. Human society has always gone this way.

In order to watch the national flag being raised, we left the room of the China Resources Hotel and stayed at the front door. At the end of October, when the weather was starting to get cold in the morning, we went to Qianmen Square early, where there were already many people, and there was no suitable viewing position, so I put my son on my neck to watch the national flag raised. After raising the national flag, we walked around the square full of hearts, and at this time we saw several foreigners in shorts running, all of them with resolute faces, broad chests, and muscular muscles. I said:

"Joy, look at those foreigners who are running. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Have you seen Chinese running on Chinese soil?"

"Nope. The son looked around and said.

"What do you see in foreigners?"

"I feel that they have a lot of energy. ”

"Why?"

"On such a cold day, we are wearing woolen sweaters, and foreigners are still wearing shorts. The son said, "Dad, the Chinese who exercise." ”

I followed the direction my son pointed and saw that on the west side of the memorial hall, there were some elderly people holding fans and other things for morning exercises, "What about the young people in China?" I said with a wry smile, "We are young people in China." Let's go around the front square. ”

Running to the front of the square again, there were more kite sellers, who put their kites high and high, attracting tourists to buy their kites from time to time. My son wanted to buy it, and his request made it difficult for me. I said, "You go and ask how much." ”

"Fifteen dollars. The son came back and said

"I'll give you fifty dollars, but you have to buy the kite in his hand, and if you can't buy it back for fifty dollars, don't buy it. Okay?"

"Okay. The son took the money and ran away happily. After a while, he lowered his head and came back and said, "Dad, the person who bought the kite said that the kite in his hand cost at least 100 yuan. What's going on?"

"Joy, look at the children who fly kites. ”

"Dad, why can't some children fly kites?"

"Joy, how many years have you been flying kites at home?"

"It's been three years. ”

"Is the enclave high?"

"High! Very high! No one's kite has been better than mine in recent years. ”

"Dad had that experience. Knowing that the kite in the bag is of inferior quality and is a fake. ”

"I see. ”

"Got what?"

"Understood, fake. ”

"Anything else you understand?"

"It's gone. ”

"It means you don't understand. ”

"Why? Fakes are what you said. ”

"Dad said it, but it's just the surface, not the substance. ”

"What is the substance?"

"The essence is, why do so many people fall for it one after another?"

"Dad, why did you say they were fooled one after another?"

"Joy naturally has the beauty of decoration, such as flowers and plants, and life is no exception. Human beings are born with a desire for beauty. They love beautiful surroundings, beautiful companions, attractive outfits. When life becomes more routine, people often want to replace the loss factor with an additional approach. Adults want to get a new car, fashionable clothes, or something else. A child wants to get what he wants, such as playing games, playing cards, etc., and wants to enrich his life. I pointed to the kite seller and said, "Joy, do you see that child is 'forced' the parents to buy kites again, and the adults are paying for it, and the children are happy?"

The child jumped for joy. ”

"We'll look at it for a moment," I said.

After a while, the family's kite could not be put into the sky, so they were so angry that they reasoned with the kite seller, and finally with the mentality that a strong dragon could not suppress the snake on the ground, they threw the kite to the kite seller and left.

"Dad, there are so many people who have been fooled. ”

"Joy, it's not terrible to be fooled, the key is to understand how to be fooled. That family, in order to add a little joy to their lives, went to buy kites, although the fakes are annoying, but the kite can't be flown around, is it their family?"

"Not really. ”

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know. ”

This shows that people have a fluke mentality, always feeling that what happens to others will not happen to themselves, and often turning a deaf ear to the failures of others. The guy who bought the kite just now is a typical example. This similar situation is more extensive in educating children, always thinking that their children are good, but in fact, every child makes the same number of mistakes. Joy, don't you?"

"Dad, how do you know so clearly. "My son seems to have been exposed by me, teasing himself.

"So when you want to do something, you have to look at how others have failed in this kind of thing, and that will reduce your failures," I said, "just say that the kite is real, and you have flown the kite, and the kite can bring you eternal joy?"

"No, you can't. The freshness of kite flying will soon pass. ”

"What kind of freshness can never be overcome?" I said.

"I don't know. ”

"I like myself, and my freshness will never pass. ”

"Dad, how can I make myself like myself?"

"Dad has five things for you to ponder. First, learn to appreciate the good in others, it can teach you to cooperate, second, not to show off yourself with things outside the body, it can bring you peace, third, learn to appreciate the poetry of life, it can teach you to rest, fourth, to treat friends with a practical attitude in play, it can teach you integrity, fifth, don't believe too much that classroom learning will bring you success, it can turn you into a spectator of life. Joy, with the above five experiences in life, there is no reason why you should not like yourself. ”

"Dad, I don't understand what you're saying, but I seem to understand something. ”

"Just be clear. Let's go, hurry up to the President's Memorial Hall to line up and pay homage to the remains of China's most powerful man. After that, go to the amusement park, and tomorrow morning be sure to watch the flag-raising ceremony in its entirety, and then go to the Great Wall. ”

Coming out of the President's Memorial Hall, we came to the amusement park. It's a kid's paradise and I'm bored. He played crazy alone, and he didn't feel it until Xiyang was down. He said, "Dad, you have been wronged today!"

"You're still wronged. ”

"Why?" said the son, puzzled.

"Because you didn't even eat at noon,"

"I'm not hungry. ”

"Stop blowing. What are you going to eat in the afternoon?"

"Kentucky chicken. ”

"It's Kentucky Chicken again!"

"Kentucky chicken was delicious. As you've seen these days, the most people eat it. ”

My son's words sent a chill through my heart. The popularity of American food in the Chinese market shows that life is being divided by capital at an accelerated pace. At this time, China must create its own new path in the struggle, and there will inevitably be multiple obstacles and difficulties in the process, and to win from the severe challenges, although we need the help of trustworthy people and the guidance of experienced experts, the most important thing is our own strength.

In the evening, when I was eating Kende chicken, I said, "Joy, some time ago, my father went to Kongtong Mountain, passing through the Pingliang area of Gansu Province, and saw some places that have joint ventures with the United States to grow potatoes. Americans use Chinese land to grow potatoes, squeeze them into fries, sell them to the Chinese, and they make money. In the end, what will happen to China?"

"The country will become poor. ”

"Yes. Eating Kentucky chicken is a move to make the country poor. ”

"But Kentuck's chicken is so delicious. ”

"This requires us to control ourselves with self-control and patriotism, and citizens of many countries around the world have a sense of resistance to foreign food aggression. ”

"Food is still aggressive?"

"Joy, aggression is not only war, eating and drinking is also war, it is called economic war. Economic warfare is silent, but it is more powerful than guns. The Kentucky chicken food you hold in your hand is an economic bullet from the Americans. ”

"I don't eat Kentucky chicken anymore. ”

"Not eating is a negative approach, and it is important to develop your abilities. ”

The next day, we got up early and went to Qianmen Square, only to know that we would not be allowed to enter until the time, so we waited and waited until the square opened. We hurriedly ran down the crowd to the flagpole and managed to get a good spot on the right.

The solemn flag-raising ceremony began, and I said, "Joy, when the national anthem is played, please put your right hand on your heart and sing the national anthem with your father." ”

"Why. The son said.

"People are emotional animals, and when they have a heart of loyalty to the country, their hearts will be solid. ”

My son blinked and didn't understand what I was saying.

When the national anthem sounded, my brain was in a state of purification, and I didn't know about the child, but his right hand was pressed tightly to his heart. At the end of the flag-raising ceremony, I led him to the national flag, looked up at the national flag for a while, and said, "Joy, how do you feel when you see the national flag raised?"

"Uncle PLA walked really neatly. ”

"They represent the image of the country," I said, "and everyone should have a strong sense of the country, which is our roots." ”

The sun is rising, the sun is shining, and the weather is getting warmer. We got on the coach and started the day. The car drove out of Beijing's clean streets and on the mountain road. Unconsciously came to Juyongguan.

Great Wall! The son had never climbed the Great Wall, and looked at the Great Wall stretching out to the clouds through the mountain, and he said happily: "Dad, the book doesn't say that the Great Wall is not a hero, we must climb to the top of the mountain." ”

"Good. ”

The slope of the Juyongguan Great Wall is much steeper than that of the Badaling Great Wall, and the blue sky merges with the standing Great Wall, and my children and I chase each other to the top of the mountain, looking at the white clouds and scenery in the distance, indulging in the indescribable interest. The son patted the Great Wall with his hand and said:

"If Qin Qiong stays here, a hundred people won't be able to attack it. ”

"How to a hundred, have you ever heard of the phrase 'one husband is closed, ten thousand people are not open'?"

"I've heard of it. ”

After my son reached his goal, he put a lot of history and myths that had nothing to do with the Great Wall and put them on the Great Wall and laughed with me. It can be seen that what he has accepted in the past is working in his brain in a way of thinking that is unacceptable to adults.

After getting off Juyong Pass and coming to Badaling, my son and I had an argument. I asked him to buy a ticket to climb Badaling, and I stood below to look at some monuments, and after reading it, I saw that he was still standing outside the ticket threshold and did not move. I shouted, "Wang Xile, what are you doing standing there? Time waits for no one!" ”

When my son heard my words, he turned around and came back. He walked up to me, winked, and said, "Daddy, guess what I'm thinking?"

"How do you want to climb the Great Wall? ”

"Wrong. I don't want the Great Wall anymore. The son said.

"How can you come to Beijing without climbing the Badaling Great Wall!"

"Juyongguan has climbed the Great Wall, the Great Wall is the same, and it is not worth spending so much money to climb the Badaling Great Wall. ”

"What's worth it, is it worth spending some money, hurry up and buy a ticket. ”

"Don't buy it, I won't log in anyway, this money is too unjust!"

I could tell from my son's anxious eyes that he was thinking, "Don't say more," I touched his head and said, "You must have some idea in mind, say it quickly, and Daddy will help you with it." ”

"Dad, it's a waste to climb the Great Wall again. It would make the most sense to buy the silver sword back with the money you saved. The son pointed to the shop on the side of the road.

The child's idea has its own merits, it seems that what he thinks in his brain is not simple, and this idea contains many rational factors such as economy, planning, and rationality. I pointed to the bustling crowd and said, "Joy, you can choose to buy something or climb the Great Wall, but I tell you: Dad brought you here only once." ”

I led my son to a clean stone platform and sat down. After a moment of silence, I saw that his eyes brightened and said, "Have you thought about it?"

"I'm going to buy a sword. ”

"Why?"

"You don't bring me, but I'll grow up, and I'll come on my own. ”

"Good. Let's go buy swords. I said.

The son used to bargain with the shopkeeper and bought the stainless steel sword for thirty yuan.

"How's it going, how is my kung fu?" he said, swinging with his sword.

"Very good, beautiful movements," I said, "it's still early, let's go to the side of the Wall." ”

Walk through the gate of the Great Wall to the other side and enter an antique shop. There was a young man in his twenties. He asked us what we wanted to buy, I said take a spin and he went on watching English football on TV. I talked to him about football. Football has brought us closer together.

"Daddy, this bowl has the same pattern as the one at home," the son shouted.

I walked over with the young man, and he told me that this kind of item was from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the market price of that bowl was about 600 yuan. I talked about the ancestor who passed down a Chentou box, and he told me that it was a Qing Dynasty thing, and he said something about the Chentou box according to the category. Then he told me a little bit about antiques.

"Dad, it seems that everything is useful," said the son, who came out of the antique shop.

"Why?"

"You talk to the big brother about football for a while, and he's been so nice to us right away. ”

"By the way," I said, "joy, everything that happens around you is knowledge, and we all need to learn, and only by learning can we survive better." ”

The son didn't speak, but swung the sword in his hand vigorously......

Driving back to Beijing, on the city road, we witnessed for the first time what the traffic jam is like, which was an eye-opener.

The son can indeed take charge on his own. I bought beautiful clothes for my mother in Beijing, game cards, roller skates and other things for myself, and I was about to become the head of the cabinet. On this trip to Beijing, more than 4,000 yuan was spent by his son's hands, and he actively used his brain and was responsible for every action. Every night when he told me about his expenses, he showed a look of success. During this time, the child is actively learning to manage things, but how can he maintain such a mindset for all aspects of life?
