Chapter 384: The Surprise of Chinese and American Education
Although the old lady wanted to show Wang Hai and his family some faces, after seeing the happy smile of the eldest grandson, she sighed, and followed her goddaughter to the hall to cook for the eldest grandson who was hungry.
She hadn't cooked for her eldest grandson for more than a year, and it would be strange if the food she cooked could suit her grandson's taste! I heard Qingyun say that the eldest grandson didn't eat last night and was hungry all night, so this meal has to be eaten well!
"Brother, how much did the uncle give you a red envelope?"
As soon as the two of them came out of the house, Wang Liang took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, got into Wang Yong's bed, and asked in a low voice.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Stingy!"
As soon as the words fell, this kid had already rolled out of the bed. Then Wang Yong felt that the red envelope in his arms was gone, needless to say, it must have been snatched by the kid who took advantage of his inattention.
"Ahh Elder brother! Uncle, he's too much! It's too much! How could he do that? โ
Wang Yong opened his squinted eyes and turned his head curiously to follow the sound. I saw Wang Liang holding a red envelope in his hand, pulling out part of a stack of red hundred-yuan bills, and glaring at him with anger on his face. And the red envelope with the same appearance next to him, but the ticket that leaked out of it was one color smaller than the fifty yuan denomination of No. 1.
After understanding why his brother was not angry, he rolled his eyes at this younger brother who had not seen him for more than a year but did not have the slightest sense of strangeness, and said weakly:
"It's all given by the elders, what can you do?"
Angrily pouting and clutching the red envelope filled with a hundred-yuan bill in his hand, Wang Liang, who didn't know what to say, suddenly rolled his eyes and his face was happy. Then he quickly put the red package in his hand into his pocket, and then threw the red envelope full of fifty yuan bills to Wang Yong.
Before Wang Yong could get angry, he jumped off the kang barefoot and ran to the hall with a puff of smoke.
"You kid! Give me back! โ
"Grandma, grandma, happy New Year! Wishing you prosperity, red envelopes are brought! โ
"Okay, okay, it's all ready for you, wait, wait for grandma to get it for you!"
"Oops! You little bastard, why did you run out barefoot, hurry into the house, enter the house and put on your shoes, what if you catch a cold? โ
"It's okay, grandma, I'm in good health, give me a red envelope! I want a red envelope! โ
Listening to the conversation between his grandmother and younger brother in the hall, Wang Yong smiled very happily. Turning his head to look at his father with a worried face, Wang Yong comforted him and said:
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. It's just that yesterday I did a big business with Uncle Biao that was destined to make hundreds of times more profits, and I was so excited that I couldn't control myself. โ
"Don't think about all this mess, Dad just doesn't want you to worry about business anymore, so he runs all over the country. Now the family's money has been invested in several promising projects, even if our family doesn't do anything, you brothers will have enough to eat and drink for a lifetime in the future. โ
Wang Yong glanced at his father, are you talking to me about cross talk? Even if they didn't have those few investments, the family's savings would have been enough for their brothers to live a chic life! However, Wang Yong didn't want to talk about business anymore, so in order to change the topic, he talked about Wang Lianglai, who had changed a lot.
"Wang Liang hasn't changed this year? Dare to say and do, I am a lot more confident, and I have a long ability! โ
Thinking that his red envelope was changed by this little bastard, Wang Yong couldn't help but snort. Seeing that the eldest son was dissatisfied with his younger brother because of a red envelope, Wang Hai also smiled.
In the past, Wang Yong was too sensible, and the sensible couple never treated him as a child. Since the vegetables were produced in the greenhouse at home and the first money was sold, they have always treated Wang Yong as an equal.
Later, I realized that it was too selfish to do this, just like the old secretary said, children should be like children. Especially after being exposed to the American way of education, they are more and more eager for this.
In two years, Wang Yongke will graduate from high school! Whether it is at home or abroad, graduating from high school thinks that the child is an adult, whether it is going to college or joining the army, it means that he will have to contact the society and will never have the opportunity to enjoy the carefree time as a child again.
This time, he deliberately stayed in the United States for the Chinese New Year to participate in a training specifically called parents how to educate their children. It was a training course specially organized by an internationally renowned and well-known training institution for all wealthy parents.
Unexpectedly, before the training class ended, the eldest son had an accident here!
"Dad, Dad? What are you thinking about, I didn't hear you? โ
"Hear me! Hear me! โ
"I just said that Wang Liang has changed too much, not only is he more confident than before, but he is more lively!"
"yes!" Wang Hai said with emotion, then looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, and did not speak for a long time.
"We are quite surprised by education at home and abroad, taking the United States as an example, we pay more attention to grades, and people pay more attention to ability. We attach importance to indoctrination on our side, and on the other side, we attach importance to the cultivation of creative power and critical spirit. โ
Listening to what his father said, Wang Yong also became interested, and he stood up for the discomfort after the hangover, looked at his father, and prepared to hear what else he had to say.
"Let's just say a little bit, you know, now the labor class in China has also begun, and in the United States it is called family life. It's not like our teacher is holding a textbook and teaching it from the book. There's a lot of content in this course. โ
"What's there? Cooking? โ
"That one must have! There are also sewing, handicraft and hands-on skills, how to get along with family, self-confidence, etc., which are completely other things than books, and teach students how to live. โ
Can Wang Yong not know these things? After the advent of the Internet era, there is a lot of this news on the Internet. What's more, he has read several online novels about foreign life, and both of them have introduced surprising things about Chinese and foreign education.
Not only school education, but also family education is very different from that in foreign and domestic countries.
In China, children are spoiled when they are young, and even when they grow up, they are restricted everywhere and their independence is very poor. There was even a deposit, because he was without his parents by his side, he couldn't even take care of himself, and he had to drop out of school.
Parents abroad generally set a lot of rules for their children when they were young, and as their children get older, they become more and more relaxed. There is even a situation of letting go at the age of eighteen, which is criticized by many Chinese people in this era, but it is a very common thing abroad.
The state is also aware of this problem, and in order to change the situation of high academic qualifications and low ability of Japanese talents in the past, the concept of suzhรฌ education was put forward as early as a few years ago. Unfortunately, it is too difficult for schools in other places to achieve all of them, except for the good schools in the first-tier big cities, in a country where educational equity is very problematic!
It is naturally no problem for people to implement vegetarian education in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and spend half of the class time to cultivate students' interests and hobbies, even if the students' college entrance examination results are not satisfactory, the local land is a university, and the locals naturally have to take special care of them, and they don't worry about failing the exam at all.
But what about other places! Yanbei, Ludong, Nanhe, these populous provinces, are also provinces and cities lacking in educational resources?
Let's take a look at the annual college entrance examination admission score, right? It is not uncommon for Tsinghua University to score more than 400 points in the capital, but if you change to Yanbei Province, let alone more than 400 points, even if it is 600 points, you may not be able to get in.
The relevant departments gave an explanation very confidently, saying that there is an imbalance in educational resources in various regions of the country, and it is necessary to implement a differentiated admission system in order to take care of the old and the young and the poor areas.
I don't know if he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, when did the capital become a poor area for the old and the young? Fortunately, it is open now, and a few decades ago, because of this sentence, he had to go to the cowshed to squat.
"I can't help but be convinced, although it seems that our domestic children are indeed better than American children in terms of intelligence, but in other aspects, especially in terms of creative strength and independence, domestic children are too much worse."
Wang Hai said with emotion, thinking of the six or seven-year-old children who went to the street to do small business on the weekend, and then thought about the children in the village.
Well, the children in the village are better, but those children of the same age in the city are pitiful! It's a fun time at a young age, but I was forced by my parents to go to this cram school, and I went to that special class, a tragic childhood!
I don't know how those children who are forced by their parents to learn to learn there will look at their childhood when they grow up in the future. Is it rejoicing, regretting, or feeling sad?
"Come on, hurry up, this is the meat bun that grandma made for you, and the radish ball soup that has just been heated, get up and eat it while it's hot before you go to sleep."
Mrs. Ye walked in with a plate with two so-called meat buns in one hand and a steaming bowl of radish ball soup in the other. After taking the meat bun in his grandmother's hand, Wang Yong was just about to put it in his mouth, when he saw his father Wang Hai staring at him intently with a tired face, and hurriedly handed it over.
"Dad, you just got off the plane, you must be hungry, you can eat too!"
"Humph! Don't worry about him! You eat yours! โ
The old lady stopped in front of Wang Yong, didn't even look at Wang Hai, and blocked Wang Yong's arm again. Obviously, the old lady's anger has not completely disappeared.
"Don't worry about my eldest grandson, if you want to eat it yourself, go outside and get it, and wait for me to serve it to you!"
was reprimanded by the old lady with a gun and a stick, Wang Hai hurriedly went to the hall in a gloomy manner. Looking at the appearance of his father's wolf bรจi, Wang Yong looked at his crazy grandmother with amusement.
"Grandma, you're still amazing! Look at my dad! โ
"Hurry up and eat yours, where did you get so many words! Is two enough? It's not enough for grandma to get you two more. โ
"Enough, enough!"
Meat sandwich bun, a special snack in Northwest Province, but Wang Yong has a simple version that has been revised by himself. The recipe is as simple as breaking open a hot steamed bun and adding hot meat foam and broth to it.
Because Wang Yong doesn't eat fatty meat, when he makes meat buns at home, he uses beef, mutton or chicken, and sometimes stewed fish without small spines, and fish meat will be added to it. Then cut some minced green onions, stuff minced green peppers and coriander, pour the soup, and a simple Wangjiazhuang version of the meat sandwich bun is ready.
Steamed buns soaked in broth, chopped beef, and flavorful chopped green onions, coriander, and appetite-stimulating green peppers, Wang Yong killed one in three bites.
"Slow down, slow down, you kid, what's the hurry? No one is robbing you, hurry, I want to drink some soup. โ
The clear and fragrant radish ball soup, the fresh white radish cut into thin strips, and the hand-beaten chicken meatballs are put in the broth with seaweed that is heated to a boiling hot point, and it will be good in a few minutes!
When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onions and chopped coriander, and the mixed fragrance will drill into your nose and eyes without deliberately smelling yourself, making you can't help but salivate, and you can't wait to kill a big bowl in one bite to enjoy it.
