Chapter 53: The Struggle for the Future

Seeing that my parents seem to be really thinking about it seriously, trying to find a way to change their professional appearance. Meng Fanzhu was a little confused, and only cared about coming up with a plan to improve the family, but he didn't expect to be considered a genius in finance by his parents, and he also derived the idea of letting himself learn finance and business management, which was really a disaster. At the thought of not being able to drink Anya to study professionally, and having to analyze various financial statements and data all day long, Meng Fanzhu couldn't help but shudder. Touching his nose, he quickly explained, "Mom, Dad, my dream is to become a cultural scholar, and in the future, I will be engaged in literary creation or scripts and songs.

Who knew that the darker it became, the eyes of my parents were about to light up. After thinking about it carefully, he secretly scolded himself for being an idiot, didn't this make his parents feel that he could write such a plan with just a little spare time, which just confirmed his talent in finance! In the end, Meng Fanzhu had nothing to do in a hurry, so he could only play tricks and say, "Anyway, I don't study finance, I have my own goals, and besides, the volunteer form should have been out of the province, and it must be too late to change it now." Saying that, he secretly looked at his parents' reactions, and suddenly felt that this was a great opportunity for his parents to understand Lele's thoughts in advance, so he immediately changed the conversation and said, "I think that Lele can cultivate his interest first, and then apply for a finance major in college in the future, and after graduation, he can help his father before taking over." After speaking, I silently expressed my embarrassment to my brother.

This is done to change the subject and distract mom and dad. Of course, the main thing is to avoid the tragedy in the future in the dream, and at this time, detonate the contradiction in advance when the damage is not great, and it will not cause great damage. In the year 2006 in my dream, that is, before Lele was preparing for the college entrance examination, my parents were worried about Lele's grades and volunteers. Neither of them expected that Lele didn't want to go to college, he wanted to join the army. I was probably afraid that my parents would not agree, so I secretly formulated a naïve plan. In the subsequent college entrance examination, the scores came out, the whole family was in an uproar, even the teachers of the school couldn't believe that Lele, who had always had excellent academic performance, could not get 300 points, not to mention the undergraduate, even the junior college could not enter, and the cultural class scores of art students were required to be more than 300 points.

The whole family was worried about Lele's grades, and the mother felt that she didn't take good care of Lele, and asked to repeat her studies for a year, but Lele ostensibly agreed. In September, I took advantage of the time I went to cram school during the day, secretly took out my household registration book and went to the recruitment office to register, and in October, I had a physical examination. When the whole family thought he was serious about tutoring, the conscription notice was delivered to the family. At that time, the whole family was dumbfounded, and under the pressure of his parents, Lele explained a series of plans he had planned. Hearing that the youngest son actually hid himself and did such a big thing without authorization, he didn't make his parents angry. But the raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, and looking at the red conscription notice, my mother knew that this result could not be changed. Only a very small number of powerful families at the top level in China can change this result, and their own families are powerless to fight. After sending Lele to XJ to serve as a soldier in November, my mother was seriously ill for half a year, and her health has not been as good as before. Dad was also very sad, and the harmonious and happy atmosphere in the house was not as good as before.

Although Lele relied on his own efforts and his grandfather's old relationship to work smoothly in the army, he remembered the huge emotional damage caused to his parents because of his youthful impulsiveness and ignorance, and he beat his chest and regretted it every time.

When he was on family leave for the first time, Lele came back and knelt in front of his parents and sincerely repented, although his parents forgave him for his actions, but the wound has been caused, even if it will heal with the changes of time, it will not be able to restore the original smoothness, and the long scar will remind everyone all the time. Later, my mother suddenly fell ill before she was 70 years old, and passed away in less than 20 days. At that time, Lele couldn't be contacted because of the mission, and when he came back, he received a call from Meng Fanzhu and fainted. After waking up, he rushed back to Songjiang, knelt in front of his parents' grave without eating or drinking for a whole day, his knees were purple and numb, and he was carried home by Meng Fanzhu. Lele's character has since become taciturn, and every year on the death day of his parents, he is alone, and sits by the grave for a day without saying a word.

The origins of all these tragedies are caused by a lack of communication, and the actual thing could have been solved very well. Many families will encounter the problem of inconsistency between their children's dreams and parents' expectations, which is nothing more than two situations, one is to obey the parents' arrangements, and the other is to obey the children's wishes. In his own home, parents have always been parents who pay great attention to cultivating their children's independent character, and Meng Fanzhu believes that as long as they sit down and talk calmly, these tragedies can be avoided.

As soon as Meng Fanzhu's words fell, as soon as Lele heard it, he immediately straightened his chest and retorted directly to the eldest brother, "I don't study finance, I want to join the army in the future and become a soldier king!"

Lele's words were like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, which stirred up huge waves in the hearts of his parents, and suddenly his parents' attention immediately shifted from Meng Fanzhu to Lele.

"What!" Mom's eyebrows stood up, although the apricot eyes were round and beautiful, but the anger was very strong, Lele shrank his neck and hugged Sanbao tightly, but his eyes were still stubborn, this kind of persistence and resistance to his mother had never been before.

"You're going to join the army! Then you won't take the university exam?" The mother felt the need to have a good talk with her second son, and it seemed that she had neglected to understand the child's psychology, so she still didn't know that the younger son had the idea of joining the army. It's not that she doesn't think it's bad to join the army, after all, her mother herself comes from a military family. Instead, she has always believed that college is the best path for development, so she seriously cultivated her two sons according to the goal of cultivating college students, and never thought about other possibilities. Lele didn't show any different ideas before, so today's cognitive bias situation appeared.

Dad saw that the situation was not right, so he came out in time to play a round. Holding the mother's trembling hand, she persuaded, "Don't worry, let's listen to what the child has to say first." Then asked Lele, "When did you have the idea of joining the army?"

Lele hugged the three treasures to give himself courage, secretly glanced at his mother and said, "After graduating from primary school, you sent me to the army for a month of training, and since then I have liked the life in the barracks, and I envy those military brothers who took me to train, so I have always wanted to join the army." ”

Seeing what my mother wanted to say, my father patted my mother and said, "Lele wants to join the army, there's nothing wrong with that, he has ambitions and we should support him." He turned his head to Lele and said, "But you can't be an ordinary soldier, if you want to become the king of soldiers, become a professional soldier who can make more contributions to the country, then you have to study harder, we can apply for the military school when you apply for the third year of high school, but you have to be psychologically prepared, the score of the military school is not low, whether you can be admitted depends on your own ability." Dad's words made Lele's eyes light up, and he immediately nodded quickly like a chicken pecking rice.

"Old Meng, you!" the old mother was a little anxious.

Dad patted Mom's hand comfortingly, "I know you have always hoped that both brothers can be admitted to first-class universities and get ahead in the future." Said and put his arm around his mother's shoulder, "But the child has the dreams of the children, Lele has the blood of a soldier in his body, let him realize his own dream, presumably the next generation will produce a soldier, and our father will be very pleased." ”

Mom leaned on Dad's shoulder, tears flowed out, and finally nodded, which was considered to be an endorsement of the matter. Seeing her mother crying, Lele panicked, and ran over to wipe her tears with tears. Meng Fanzhu also walked over, hugged his mother and younger brother, and the four of them hugged each other tightly, and Sanbao circled around the family, seemingly wanting to join in the hug.

Home is the destination of the soul, and the family is in the same breath, how can you be afraid of the wind, frost, rain and snow outside!
