With the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis in 1997 lasting for more than two years, the economic downturn, high unemployment, and government policy mistakes have caused public discontent to continue to rise, and Christmas in '99 is also unusually simple, and the festive atmosphere is very poor. Wealthy people from neighboring countries who had been making year-end purchases in the port city did not come, and even though the streets were full of genuine discounted goods, there was little interest in spending money.

Even Jack felt that there was almost no place to queue up for entertainment, there were very few people, but there was no scramble, and he had no interest in having fun, even with the sea and the stream. Children play with more than just toys, but more importantly, the atmosphere!

Zhao Hong, Guo Yi and Xiao Wanting saw that the children were not having a very good time, and after discussing together, they decided to take the children to T City in the north to see Zhao Hong's family, because this is also a rare time to relax, and the children are still there, so they hurriedly went through the formalities, and a group of five adults took the children on a direct flight to T City.

Zhao Hong is also very much looking forward to seeing his hometown, the old but with his own memories for many years, and seeing the people and scenery of the past.

In the same mood as Zhao Hong, Guo's father and Guo's mother, they have also left this place that carries the memories of most of their lives, the expectations and longings of their youth, and the subsequent birth of children, many resentments that they once had have have gone with the wind, and what is left is more gratitude, they are no longer young They may be the last time to come back, as the children have left here, there is no home for them here, wandering around, the four seas are home.

Guo Yi is the same, after all, she was born and raised here, and she has experienced her babbling childhood, carefree childhood, and serious study in her youth, as well as her first girlhood, and that kind of sweet and bittersweet feeling has made her dream back here many times. If you can follow the plan when you come back this time, Zhao Hong's whole family will also leave here, first end the work here, transfer the small business here, and then go to Haishi to settle down, and then apply to join the domestic branch of Zhao Song Group, and then go to country M or Australia to work in the name of sending work, as for whether to join the foreign nationality, they will make their own decisions. The chances of them coming back are slim to none!

Only Xiao Wanting was in a calm mood, looking at these people in a trance, she shook her head and took the initiative to take care of the children, thanks to Jack's help, the sea and the creek can basically take care of themselves. Sitting in his seat on the plane, he muttered something quietly.

It wasn't until the flight attendant of the flight came to serve everyone that several adults came back to their senses, but they still hadn't gotten out of the mood just now, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only silently make eye contact.

Zhao Hong also felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and took the initiative to say, "It's okay, we may be able to take our own plane when we come back next time." ”

Guo Yi said with some cooperation, "It's too exaggerated, isn't it! Even if you have a plane, you can fly freely?"

Xiao Wanting also cooperated, "In fact, the group company has been equipped with a small business jet in the M country branch, which is not as luxurious as expected, many companies and individuals have it, and the flight certificate is not so difficult to obtain." ”

Everyone communicated casually for a while, and the depressed mood was also relieved.

"There is a phenomenon that the children who study well in school go out into society but have no success, while those who are naughty and mischievous mix well in society. Children who study well are often punished and scolded, and after they go to society, they are scolded and laughed, and this kind of person is indomitable. ”

Zhao Hong began a discussion on the topic of children's education.

Guo Yi also said with some emotion, "When I saw you for the first time, I felt very strange. It stands to reason that a student like you, who can be admitted to the best high school in T City, is embarrassed to go out on the street and work as a street vendor, which is what I was very curious about at the time! ”

Guo's father and Guo's mother, Xiao Wanting, also looked at Zhao Hong with curiosity, and he quickly explained, "Actually, I have not studied well since I was a child, and it is the worst part. In the sixth year of primary school, I have been a poor student for more than five years, and I have a lot of treatment as a poor student. Punishment standing, scolding, beating is not less, and it is commonplace, if that day was not criticized, I feel that the day is incomplete, since the third grade has faced the situation of repeating grades every year, but my parents are too lazy to care, plus I am tall, my parents really don't want me to repeat the grade. Actually, I want to repeat a grade as well. ”

Xiao Wanting asked with some curiosity, "Why?

"The main thing is that you don't have friends! Parents of all classmates love to tell their children not to socialize with classmates who are not good at studying, it will drag them down. And I was the same, I was disliked by my teachers, isolated by my classmates, and only a few classmates and friends who were also poor at studying, and they all repeated grades, and I was actually even more sad. Sometimes I want to repeat a grade with them. There are more than a dozen of Lao Fu (Nie), Er Lai, Qingzi and so on!"

Zhao Hong recalled helplessly and sadly.

Guo's father and Guo's mother also asked a little strangely, "Then why did you change your study later?"

Zhao Hong also said helplessly, "The learning of primary school students is to compete in memory and language ability, and I am precisely the least good at this, I spoke late when I was a child, and then my memory was relatively poor, and the language was not good, which affected the application of mathematics." But after all, it is language, and then it slowly returned to the level of normal people, in fact, the language returned to normal, and the mathematics test was easily scored with full marks. On the whole, it is no longer a poor student. ”

Guo Yi was also a little happy and said, "You are really more unusual, right! I met you relatively late, otherwise I could have cared for my classmates with love." Hehe......"

Other people are also happy to listen to it, and now looking at the more shrewd Zhao Hong, thinking about the stupidity of his youth may also be very interesting!

Wasn't that the case true of teachers in those days? Those who liked to study well and liked good families, and those who had bad families and did not study well were the targets of abuse! If they scolded a few times, the teacher had a good temper, and it was not a big deal to beat them a few times. Because almost all parents will tell the teacher, "If you don't study hard, you will beat him up if you don't obey!"

Moreover, if a student is beaten and goes back to complain, he will be beaten again! Parents will also question, "It must be you who are naughty and disobedient, you should be!" Another expression of anger and deep hatred in love. As for the parents who are reasonable and tell the reason, it is only in the legend, just like other people's children, they will always be so good, and they will always be the target of envy and resentment by the children!

Because most of them have never read, let alone reasoned.

The others were just happy for a while, but only Guo's father and Guo's mother listened and asked thoughtfully, "Is your family the same......?"
