Chapter 68: The Sudden "Western-style Education" (1)

From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese were encouraged to go abroad, and foreign education methods were gradually introduced into China, and the atmosphere of relaxation, freedom and independence abroad made it easier for children to grow independently. There are even articles that say that a child will do everything in a month after being sent abroad, laundry, cooking, and stacking quilts. But many parents don't find out that the reason why many children in China don't know anything, is that parents treat their children as pets, not as children.

As parents, we don't think about how to educate our children well, how to make our children self-reliant, how to make our children become useful people, but more about what dangers our children will encounter, children are too young to do these things, and children should use more energy to study.

Then the children under this kind of overprotection, and then compared with independent foreign children, parents feel that Chinese children are not good, and foreign education is particularly good.

But parents seem to have forgotten that since kindergarten, teachers teach children to eat and fold quilts by themselves, but parents don't let their children do it at home, so children don't do it.

Many parents always say, when their children are doing these things, go to homework, read books, study, and practice.

Then when the child reaches a certain age, the parents start to complain that the child can't do anything, and other people's children can do everything. Some parents followed Chinese-style education when they were young, and when they reached the age of eighteen, they began to follow Western-style education, wanting their children to be independent and pay for their own living and learning expenses.

Many people say that such parents are actually very irrational, a child who grew up under the umbrella of parents, and asked him to experience life in an instant, this is very difficult, do you want children to sell their kidneys, to ask for food?

I have a friend, Ah Fu, who is like that.

Ah Fu's parents are the traditional kind of Chinese parents, and the two have never had trouble with Ah Fu's education before, because Ah Fu is the kind of child who is very well-behaved.

Ah Fu's grades are not very good, but he is good at sports, and he has been a sports student since he was a child, and he naturally went to a sports school in college.

But in the early days of college, one of Ah Fu's relatives returned to China, disrupting Ah Fu's original plan to go to university.

Ah Fu's relative has lived abroad for many years and is now returning to China to visit his relatives. The foreign education described by this relative and Ah Fu's parents made Ah Fu's parents very excited, especially the independent personality of foreign children made Ah Fu's parents like it very much.

Ah Fu's parents thought, children abroad can do this, why can't their own children? So I wanted to let Ah Fu learn to be as independent as the children abroad.

Ah Fu's parents called Ah Fu to him and said to Ah Fu, we will not provide you with money in the future, your tuition, accommodation fees, and living expenses will be responsible for yourself, and you will go home and live at home during the holidays, calculate the rent according to the month, and pay us. It's definitely too late to go to work now, we can lend it to you first, and you will pay us back when you earn the money. Because it is borrowing money, this interest must also be calculated, according to the interest rate of the bank loan.

Ah Fu was also stunned when he heard this, Ah Fu thought that his parents were joking, and he had told himself that he would not give money before, and he forgot about it the next day. Ah Fu didn't take it to heart and continued to live a carefree life.

Soon it was the day when Ah Fu went to school, and Ah Fu thought about asking his parents to save his tuition, so he went to his parents. The result must have been beyond Ah Fu's expectations, it turned out that his parents, who loved him, didn't even give him money. He also said that if you want to give money, you must write an IOU, press your fingerprint, explain the term of the loan, repay the interest every month according to the bank interest, and repay the money when it expires.

Now Ah Fu is stunned, is this still his parents?

Ah Fu thought, this freshness hasn't passed yet, right? Pretended to write an IOU, swaggered and pressed his handprint, and got the tuition fee and the first month's living expenses.

Everyone knows that everything is new when you first enter the university, and the money is also flowing.

Soon Ah Fu ran out of money, and Ah Fu thought about finding a family point again, who can't spend some money on this guy who just entered college.

Ah Fu, who called home, was stunned the moment the phone was connected. Because his mother actually asked him to pay back.

After living for so many years, who has ever seen this battle, this mother is collecting debts from her son, and she is also chasing tuition fees and living expenses, and what else do you say, if you don't pay back, you can't borrow again? Don't forget to remind Ah Fu that the first month's interest hasn't been paid yet?

This Ah Fu thought, this can't be, why is his mother still addicted to playing? I said to my mother, Mom, don't scare me, how can I have the money to pay back? I don't want it......

Ah Fu's mother said directly, if you don't repay the interest, the interest will get higher and higher, and there will be late fees, and you won't be able to borrow money in the future. Then he hung up the phone...... Hung up......

Now Ah Fu is completely stunned, what is wrong with his parents, first told himself that he will not give money in the future, all the money is borrowed, and he has to write an IOU and press his fingerprint or something, and then urge himself to repay the money?

Ah Fu, who can't figure it out, has no time to think about it anymore, because Ah Fu has to find a way to get money, he used to be at home, and he never knew that he would have money for eating, sleeping, bathing, water, electricity, and Internet fees, toilet paper, shower gel, shampoo, thin quilts, thick quilts, mats, straw mats, mats, quilts, sheets, all of which cost money. Now plus the interest on the loan from this family, and the tuition and accommodation fees and living expenses that have to be repaid, Ah Fu is a big head.

However, this is also Ah Fu's luck, just when Ah Fu had a headache, Ah Fu's new roommate Xiaodong came back, bringing back a life-changing opportunity for Ah Fu.

Xiaodong is a poor student in Afu's class, and he usually does some part-time work or something, today is the weekend, Xiaodong has just come back from the restaurant where he works, and he is resting on the bed.

Ah Fu looked at Xiao Dong who came back from a part-time job, and suddenly remembered that it would be good for him to go to a part-time job like Xiao Dong, looking at Xiao Dong's usual part-time job, there are all kinds of things, it seems that Xiao Dong knows a lot of part-time places, otherwise it would be good to ask Xiao Dong.

Xiaodong and Ah Fu said that the restaurant where they work is just short of people who close on the night shift, and the working hours do not conflict with the class, and as long as they work until eleven o'clock, the salary is higher than that of the day shift, so they have to find the teacher to prove it, otherwise they will not be allowed to come in this night.

When Ah Fu heard this, this dare is good, isn't he just short of money? This night shift has a lot of money, and it only works until eleven o'clock, what is this, I don't necessarily sleep at eleven o'clock in the dormitory. Coupled with the major of Ah Fu, there are very few classes in the freshman year, all of which are concentrated in the last two sessions in the morning, and the first one or two sessions in the afternoon, and there is no activity at ordinary times. It's just that the hot water and electricity are cut off at eleven o'clock, which is a bit of a headache.

But I remembered that I needed money, and the salary of this job was also high, so I could do it first, and I would get up the next morning and take a shower again, and it was nothing. What's more, it's still hot now, even if you take a cold shower, you can't catch a cold, right?

After Ah Fu discussed with Xiaodong, he followed Xiaodong to the restaurant. Xiaodong also happened to be thinking about transferring to the night shift to help, so he also went along.

The restaurant was in urgent need of someone to close at that time, seeing that the two students had fewer classes, and the school was also very close, and the most important thing was that they were all a dormitory, and there was a response back and forth, the restaurant manager quickly agreed, and the three of them hit it off, Xiaodong and Ah Fu were ready to go to work after class the next afternoon.

After going to work, Ah Fu realized that he had come at the right time. It's the end of the month, do it for a few days now, and you can get some of the money at the beginning of next month, which is considered to be a solution to the urgent need, as for the next month, you have to tighten your belt and save money.

On the first day of work, Ah Fu was slapped by reality. Why? The restaurant arranged for Ah Fu to work in the kitchen.,It's nothing.,Restaurant.,In addition to serving dishes and wiping the table and washing dishes.,Which of the rest of the work has nothing to do with the kitchen?

It's nothing to others, but it's really hard for Ah Fu. Think about it, Ah Fu is a boy, for so many years, at home, let alone cooking, that is a bowl has not been brushed, washing clothes and everything is now in college, you asked him to cook? He can't even cook instant noodles.

You will definitely say it, you won't say it, how do people know if you don't say it? Actually, this comes from a detail mentioned by Xiaodong and Ah Fu. Xiaodong and Ah Fu said that what the restaurant lacks is closing, not serving plates. Ah Fu thought, if he told the manager that he didn't know anything about the kitchen, he would definitely not be able to pass the interview, let alone close, and he wouldn't even want his own part-time job on weekends.

So this Ah Fu was heartbroken, and he directly responded to this errand, and the restaurant manager wondered, how could these two little boys still work in the kitchen? Are boys more virtuous than girls now?

But fortunately, the manager of this restaurant saw that the two of them were newcomers, although Xiaodong had done it, he had also served dishes outside before, so he arranged the two of them at the bar, followed the barman at the bar, made some drinks, took some snacks or something.

Ah Fu watched himself being assigned to the bar, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looking at these bottles and cans, fruit and coffee, thinking that it should be better not to open the fire, there will be nothing wrong.

But as soon as he arrived at the bar, Ah Fu was stunned, why? Because the bar ran out of lemon slices.

In fact, for every bartender, this lemon slice is nothing, everyone has cut it, it is nothing. But for Ah Fu, whose hands are not stained with spring water, this is impossible, how can Ah Fu, who can't even peel the apple peel clearly, cut lemon slices well?

But it can't be helped, this can't be done, it's also work. Ah Fu had no choice but to cut it.

This knife went down, Ah Fu's hand cut a cut, and the blood beads came out all of a sudden, this is nothing, usually it doesn't hurt the most to cut the hand, the most painful is to cut the lemon when you cut the hand, the oil of the lemon peel, stimulating, plus the sour lemon juice, oops, that sour, I dare not imagine it.

This Ah Fu immediately threw the knife and rushed to the pool.

When the bartender saw Ah Fu rushing in the pool, he knew at once that this newcomer must have cut his hand. The bartender found a band-aid for Ah Fu, and gave Ah Fu a pair of gloves, and said to Ah Fu, just throw away the lemon, put on a band-aid and cut it with gloves, but I suggest you don't wear gloves, hurry up and finish cutting, this glove is easier to cut. But remember to wear gloves and wash your hands when you go to the bar.

Ah Fu put a band-aid, looked at the glove, and thought about it, indeed, this glove is indeed easy to cut into the hand. But Ah Fu thought again, this is without gloves, and the lemon juice flows into it more painfully. So Ah Fu put the injured hand on the glove, and the hand holding the knife did not wear, so that the hand would not slip.

Finally finished cutting the lemon and took it to the bar, the barman looked at it, and his brows immediately wrinkled, but looking at Ah Fu's hand, the bartender didn't say anything, and silently went in and cut a jar of lemon slices.

Ah Fu looked up and saw that the bartender had cut it, that slice, thin, crystal clear, and then look at his own, thick, simply, and cut crookedly, he couldn't stand it, thinking that if he went to the restaurant and ordered a drink with such lemon slices floating in it, he wondered if it was leftovers.

After apologizing to the bartender, Ah Fu stood aside silently and watched the bartender do things.

On the first day, neither the bartender nor the restaurant manager expected the two newcomers to learn much, adhering to the principle that customers are God, so they didn't let Ah Fu and Xiaodong make any drinks, but just told them to stand aside and watch, and then help with things, cut fruits or something.

After getting off work, Xiaodong was about to call Ah Fu back to the dormitory, but found that Ah Fu could not be found.

After looking around the restaurant, I finally found Ah Fu in the cutting room, and Ah Fu was holding a lemon and cutting lemon slices.

Xiaodong looked at Ah Fu, he didn't know how many times he cut his hand, and the fingers of his left hand were all kinds of knife edges, deep and shallow, but he didn't give up cutting lemons. Take a closer look, aren't those lemons that Afu was going to throw away at the end of his hand before? It turns out that this Ah Fu is secretly practicing knife work.

Xiaodong thought about it, and didn't bother Ah Fu, just holding the recipe sheet on the side and carrying it on the side.

When the restaurant manager came in after receiving the goods and saw that the light in the cutting room was still on, he came in to have a look, and found the two of them. The restaurant manager nodded, and stepped forward to urge the two to get off work quickly, otherwise the dormitory would not be able to enter.

The two of them remembered the problem of time, and looked at their watches, no, it was twelve o'clock now, and the dormitory must be closed.

Thinking that the blind cat would try his luck, he went back to the dormitory, but he didn't expect to run into the dormitory manager's absence, and he didn't know where he was busy, so the two quickly sneaked into the dormitory building and went back to the dormitory.

Back in the dormitory, the electricity had already been cut off, leaving the toilet with a light, and the hot water must be gone, so the two took turns to take a shower and went to bed immediately. (To be continued.) )
