Chapter 208: A Different Choice
I'm just a country boy who has just stepped out of school and stepped into the dust! In this hustle and bustle of the city, I can't find my own direction, I don't know what I can do, I'm just a foreigner who came to Shanghai to make a living.
Of course, I came to Shanghai to work, and it was also a last resort. Because in my heart, I never thought that one day I would leave my hometown and come to the distant Shanghai Sea. Squeezed into a corner by the crowd, I never wanted to move again. Looking at the bustling scene of the Bund, a little tear flashed in front of my eyes! My mind went back to three months ago, back to my hometown, and I remembered the earnest advice of my parents when they left, and all their hopes were pinned on me.
From elementary school to junior high school, my grades have always been the first in my class and the top three in my grade, and I am also an obedient student, unlike those naughty children, which my teachers like and my parents like. Of course, they all thought that I would be successful in the future, but I also thought so at that time, my dream was to become an engineer, to leave the farm, to go into the city, and to become a real city person.
However, my parents had greater expectations for me, and they wanted me to become a cadre in the future, which later became known as a civil servant. Because, the blind man in the countryside counted the eight characters for me, saying that this child will definitely be able to become an official when he grows up in the future, and my parents trust this blind man very much. Why? For this blind man was a well-known man with iron teeth and golden teeth, and as long as he counted them, there was no one who should not be tested.
Even at that time, I thought that this man was really good at calculating eight characters, at least I didn't hear anyone say that he couldn't calculate accurately, or because he miscalculated and came to the door. But then I learned, in fact, most of the people who count the eight characters have no real skills, maybe there are accurate masters in this world, but most of the Jianghu masters rely on Meng. In general, there is no accurate calculation. No one else will trouble him, let alone speak out. And those who are right, they will be publicized, and this will create a false impression. That is, so-and-so fortune master calculated accurately, and there is nothing that should not be fulfilled.
Wang Blind really didn't calculate accurately, and I was sure more than ten years after graduation that I would never be an official in my life.
By the time I graduated from junior high school, I was faced with two choices! Of course. It can also be said that there is no choice. Why? Because at that time, the school had such a rule, that is, the junior high school graduation examination you took was the exam to determine whether you could go to high school. The high school entrance examination is the one that determines whether you can take the secondary school exam. The teachers in the school will require students to take two exams, and if they are admitted to the technical secondary school, they will not be able to go to high school. However, if you can't get into the technical secondary school, you can still go to high school if you get to the high school line. Because it is much more difficult to take the technical secondary school exam than the high school exam, and if you are admitted to a secondary school, the homeroom teacher will have a lot of rewards.
That's it. You either don't take the high school entrance examination, only take the general entrance examination, so that you can go to high school and enter university, but neither the teacher nor the school will agree. Either you take two kinds of exams, if you are admitted to the technical secondary school, you will go to the technical secondary school, if you can't get into the technical secondary school, you will go to high school, if you can't pass the high school exam, then you can only go back to farming or go out to work.
At that time, I didn't understand anything, so I just went with the flow! There's one guy I remember, though. Called Zhang Tao, he was reluctant to take the high school entrance examination, because his ideal was to go to the Chinese People's University and become an official after graduation in the future. This guy's grades are on par with mine. They are all in the top three of their grades. Because of this, he also had a big fight with the school leaders, and in the end, the school couldn't force him, so he had to agree not to take the high school entrance examination.
As a result, the fate of both students who are top students becomes completely different. In the end, the score of the examination was the twelfth in the county, exceeding the admission score of key high schools by 40 points. The stubborn guy was even better, he took the 10th place exam. He went to the county as he wished, and later was admitted to the Chinese People's University, and finally became a civil servant in the capital, realizing his childhood dream.
And I, although I failed in the high school entrance examination, I was still admitted to the technical secondary school, so I had to give up the opportunity to go to the county middle school and go to the city to go to the secondary school. Of course, at that time, I also thought, anyway, I can get rid of the identity of farmers, and I can get a job like graduating from a secondary school, and I can join the job a little faster than going to college, what's wrong with that? Moreover, I also hope to work earlier to earn money, so that my parents can retire earlier, and it is really hard to be a farmer.
I happily went to Yandu and went to Yandu Industrial School to report, although when I got the admission letter, it said that my major was "silicate", I had no idea what it was for, but my goal was very simple, that is, to become a city man in the future, and that was enough.
The ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, and what happened later made me feel like I was in a dream! Thinking about it, I couldn't help but cry, although the Bund was extremely noisy, I couldn't hear anything, I couldn't see anything, I just immersed myself in my own memories...... My name is Li Liangfeng! I don't really like this name, but it was given by my father, and he said that he hoped that I would be wise and foolish at all times in the future! Actually, I prefer the name Li Xunhuan, that is after I went to Yandu Industrial School to study, I completely relaxed myself, there are some martial arts novels in the school library, I like to borrow martial arts novels to read when I have nothing to do. I'm obsessed with martial arts novels, especially those written by Gu Long, among which my favorite character is Xiao Li Feidao~ Li Xunhuan! An amorous swordsman! Maybe every teenager has a martial arts dream in his heart!
But the guy who always likes to compete with me for the first place~ Zhang Tao doesn't like it. This guy is hell-bent on being an official! And when he graduated from junior high school, he said to me, Li Liangfeng, you kid went the wrong way, let me tell you, you go to secondary school, it is definitely a wrong choice, then graduated from secondary school, although it is also allocated, but at most it is a technician, no future! You are really elm head, not wise and foolish!
I said, I know why you kid has to go to Chinese People's University, hehe! Isn't your home right next to Wu Lao's former residence? Elder Wu is our county, oh no, he is also the biggest person in Yandu, and the first president of the Chinese People's University, it can be said that the peach and plum are all over the world, you don't want to be as outstanding as Elder Wu, right?
Zhang Tao glanced at me and said, how can I have such great ambitions! I just think that the Chinese National University is very good, and I can be assigned a good job after graduation in the future, one thing is certain, going to college is the right choice, which is why I did not hesitate to fall out with the class teacher and the school. Take a long-term view, people only once in this life, and if you are wrong, there is no regret medicine to take! (To be continued.) )
