Chapter 488: Hindsight
After Tao Tao returned, the whole family returned to the happy old days.
Dongmei won't be unable to eat because Taotao is not there when she eats.
Wei Guo will not wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep because Taotao left home.
It can be said that for parents, the quality of a child, whether it is present or not, is enough to affect the happiness of parents for a lifetime.
The Taotao who returned home has changed very much, far exceeding the imagination of Dongmei and Weiguo.
First of all, Tao Tao no longer tosses, he comes back at night to read a book for a while, and sleeps as long as he dozes off.
I don't get up early in the morning, just get up on time to go to school.
Moreover, Taotao no longer finds fault with his parents, nor does he fight with his parents because of trivial things, and even his personality has become less weak.
Compared with the past, the current Taotao cherishes the life in front of him very much.
Because he had already experienced the kind of life he longed for, he found that he couldn't stand that kind of sin at all, and he couldn't bear that kind of suffering.
So, it's better to stay at home.
And when Dongmei learned about Liu Loufang's hard life, she sympathized with Liu Loufang very much.
Dongmei had an idea in her heart, like asking Taotao to invite Liu Loufang to live at home, after all, in winter, it was too difficult to live in a house without any heating facilities and leaking on all sides.
When Taotao told Liu Loufang about his mother's idea, he was politely rejected by Liu Loufang.
He felt that he was already so bitter, and if it suddenly became sweet, he was afraid that he would like it all at once, and he would not be able to extricate himself.
But he clearly knew that this sweetness was only temporary, and the bitterness was long-term, so in order to avoid making himself happy first and then suffering, he refused Taotao's kindness.
The final exam came as scheduled, and although Taotao had gone through a semester of hard work and toss, his academic performance did not improve, but declined.
And, judging from last year's college entrance examination score, Taotao's grades can only barely go to an ordinary junior college, and he can't even go to a good junior college.
Faced with the report card, Taotao was completely desperate.
He was full of doubts about his future, and he even felt that he was not suitable for studying, but that after graduating from high school, he should go to work on the spot and become a laborer at the bottom of society.
Tao Tao recalled his efforts this semester, bought all the reference books that should have been bought, did the exercises that should have been done, tried the learning methods that should have been tried, and imitated several particularly perverted learning methods, but the result had no effect at all, and he was still hovering in the ranks of poor students.
And Taotao's efforts this semester, Dongmei and Weiguo are also in their eyes and anxious.
With Taotao on their backs, Dongmei and Weiguo quietly discussed together.
Wei Guo hung his head and said, "Dongmei, you say, doesn't my son really have the talent to learn?"
Dongmei didn't know how to answer Wei Guo, she said: "It's not that the child doesn't have the talent to learn, I just think that the child should actually be able to get better." “
Wei Guo said: "When I took the college entrance examination, my science scores, but ranked sixteenth in the county, as the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes, even if my son is worse, his academic performance should not be so outrageously bad." “
Dongmei said: "Weiguo, have you ever thought about not letting your children learn ......?"
Before Dongmei's words were finished, he was interrupted by Wei Guo, who said: "How can you succeed without studying, in today's society, it is absolutely difficult to take a high Chinese certificate." “
Dongmei said: "I mean, it's not that the child is not allowed to study, I mean that the child should stop studying science and let the child transfer to liberal arts, what do you think?"
Hearing that Dongmei wanted Taotao to study liberal arts, Wei Guo resolutely disagreed and said: "What is the future of liberal arts, can you have a good job after graduating in the future?"
Dongmei said: "Let's not talk about the good or bad of the work, what we are facing at present is that the child's academic performance cannot be improved at all, and he may not even be able to go to a good junior college, which is the main factor." “
Wei Guo said: "Could it be that if you study liberal arts, Taotao's academic performance will be able to go up?"
Dongmei said: "Listen to me, anyway, no matter how hard Taotao works, if he studies science, he will take an ordinary junior college, let's let him transfer to liberal arts, even if it is the worst, he can also take an ordinary junior college." “
Wei Guo said: "You are right, but when is it now, you haven't calculated the time, the first semester of the third year of high school has ended, and there is still half a semester to take the college entrance examination, you now, let the child transfer to liberal arts, isn't that to let the child leave home halfway, force Liangshan, do you think it is appropriate?"
Dongmei said: "It's not suitable or not, it's not the same thing for us to talk on paper here, it's better to let Taotao try, maybe the child can still succeed?"
Wei Guo shook his head and said: "Some things can be tried, some things can't be tried, I think that the matter of making Taotao suddenly transfer to liberal arts can't be tried at all." “
Dongmei said: "If you want me to say, haven't you noticed that Taotao has a special talent for studying liberal arts?"
"This kid likes history, and he likes to watch the news, especially current affairs and politics, and he is also interested in geography," Wei said. “
Dongmei said: "That's right, and Taotao's Chinese and English grades are already good, if you remove chemistry, physics, biology and these courses, don't you say that the child's grades will go up?"
Wei Guo thought thoughtfully, when Tao Tao was six years old, he showed something different from ordinary children.
Other children hate watching the news, but Taotao likes to watch the news.
And after reading it, I will discuss it with myself, especially the relationship between countries and countries, economic development, and other issues that adults will only care about.
In high school, Tao Tao was particularly obsessed with a program of Phoenix Satellite TV "Reading Every Day", that is, the host took newspapers from various news media and told everyone about the content on the program.
In Wei Guo's view, these programs are simply like chewing wax, and they have nothing to do with daily life.
But Tao Tao was obsessed with it and couldn't extricate himself, and even Tao Tao learned to write news.
And Dongmei gave Wei Guo an example: "Do you know, there are many students who are particularly good at liberal arts who are particularly serious in their subjects, such as the great writer Qian Zhongshu, when he was admitted to Peking University, he only took a single-digit math test, but people have great attainments in literature, so let me say, don't force the child to learn things that he is not interested in, let him learn something he likes and is interested in, and he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, unlike now, and even the light is powerful, but there is no power." “
Dongmei's words seem to wake up Wei Guo.
He said: "Hey, Dongmei, if you had told me what you had just said to me when the arts and sciences were separated, I wouldn't have forced Taotao to study science." “
Dongmei said: "You are always an afterthought, at that time, who knew that Tao Tao would be so serious, and at that time, we also specifically asked Tao Tao, and he did not clearly express his opposition." “
Wei Guo blamed himself and said: "Hey, instead of blaming the child, it's better for us adults to make a review, Dongmei, just listen to you, when school starts, let Taotao transfer to liberal arts." “
Dongmei nodded, looked at Wei Guo with resolute eyes, and seemed to say: "Husband and wife are concentric, and their profits are golden, so it is decided." “
