Wu Yisheng went to school, and Wu Dao and Shi Qingqing's lives became richer and richer, but the family still lacked a car.

Before Shi Qingqing went to work at the tutoring school, Wu Dao could afford to buy a car, but his views on cars were very conflicting.

Every time I go back to my hometown, especially when I visit relatives during the Spring Festival, I see that everyone else is driving a car, but he is riding a tricycle, Wu Dao will have the urge to buy a car.

But after returning to work in Fangzhou, walking to and from work every day, Wu Dao felt that there was no need to buy a car, especially when he thought that he had to learn a driver's license before buying a car, he was a little more disgusted with buying a car.

Before the establishment of Shidao Education, Wu Dao was the main source of income for his family, and it was up to him to decide whether to buy a car or not. Today, Shi Qingqing's income from the tutoring school far exceeds that of Wu Dao, and he is not alone in buying a car.

Shi Qingqing has a very strong desire to buy a car, she knows that her learning ability is poor, and learning a driver's license may be slower than others, so she wants Wu Dao to learn first, after Wu Dao takes the driver's license, the two of them go to buy a car, and there is a car at home, and it is easier for her to learn to drive, and then she will go to take the driver's license.

However, Wu Dao did not have much enthusiasm for learning a driver's license, and when he remembered that Yang Chengzhi had told him a few years ago that he would give gifts to coaches and examiners for the driver's license, he didn't want to learn, so he kept not signing up on the grounds that he was too busy with work.

Shi Qingqing saw that Wu Dao was delayed in signing up for a driving school, so she had no choice but to sign up by herself, because she was worried that she would not be able to learn, so she paid a high tuition fee, chose one-on-one VIP teaching, and gave the coach a lot of gifts.

Only a month later, Shi Qingqing successfully got his driver's license.

As soon as the driver's license arrived, Shi Qingqing took Wu Dao to various 4S stores in Fangzhou City to see the car. According to Wu Dao's meaning, the car is just a means of transportation, there is no need to buy too expensive, just buy a domestic independent brand car.

But Shi Qingqing said that it was too embarrassing to drive a domestic car, and he had to buy a joint venture car like Yang Zaixing and Yang Zhaodi, so that he could save face. In addition to China, Wu Dao has the deepest feelings for France, so he talked to Shi Qingqing about buying French cars.

Eventually, they bought a Peugeot 3008 before the Chinese New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, Shi Qingqing drove Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng back to the Wu family and the Shi family, and visited the relatives of the two families.

With a good-grade car, Shi Qingqing made money running a tutoring school, and when relatives and friends looked at Wu Dao and Shi Qingqing again, their vision was very different from before. Wu Yang and Li Mei no longer look down on Shi Qingqing as before.

Wu Dao was very glad that Shi Qingqing went to learn a driver's license, and then dragged him to buy a car, so that he could raise his head again in front of his relatives.

After buying a car, Shi Qingqing has a new plan, that is, to buy a bigger house in a few years.

In the eyes of outsiders, the life of Wu Dao, Shi Qingqing, and Wu Yisheng's family of three is enviable, but Wu Dao feels more and more that he has lost his way, and he is becoming more and more lonely.

On the issue of housework, Wu Dao and Shi Qingqing no longer have contradictions, but the problem of educating children has become more and more prominent, which also makes Wu Dao feel distressed and lonely.

Their disagreement on this point did not occur after Wu Yisheng went to kindergarten, in fact, it had arisen as early as Wu Yisheng was two years old, and it got bigger and bigger since then.

Because Shi Qingqing is uneducated, he wants to make up for his regrets in Wu Yisheng. When Wu Yisheng was two years old, Shi Qingqing enrolled him in three parent-child classes.

Before signing up for the class, Shi Qingqing once mentioned to Wu Dao that someone's child went to such a class, and someone's child went to such a class, and asked Wu Dao if he wanted to register Wu Yisheng to go to school, and showed him the propaganda color page of the parent-child class.

At that time, Wu Dao didn't take it seriously, only said that the child was too young to go to those classes, and he would talk about it when he was older. He didn't expect that within a few days, Shi Qingqing had already finished reporting to Wu Yisheng, and he had reported three at a time.

After registering, Shi Qingqing informed Wu Dao. Wu Dao said to Shi Qingqing:

"The child is still so young, and he doesn't need to go to any parent-child classes, so it doesn't have any practical significance."

"Nowadays, children are in parent-child classes, and I have no culture myself, so I don't want Yisheng to lose at the starting line. We are not very poor people, so why don't we give our children a good education? Moreover, I used all the money I earned to enroll in the parent-child class, not the money in your card. Shi Qingqing said.

After Wu Dao and Shi Qingqing got married, the two of them did not make it clear who would take care of the money, Wu Dao's bank card was placed in a locked drawer at home, Shi Qingqing knew the password, and whoever used the money took the card to the bank to withdraw it, and then put the card back in the drawer after taking the money. After Shi Qingqing worked, he opened his own bank card and saved all the money he earned.

After listening to Shi Qingqing's words, Wu Dao felt that he had nothing to say, Shi Qingqing used the money she earned to enroll her child in class, what reason did he have to interfere? Besides, the money has already been paid, and if you don't go to someone's house, you won't return the money, so what choice can you have except to go to the contract according to the contract?

Wu Yisheng went to the kindergarten affiliated to Fangzhou University, and Shi Qingqing did not discuss with Wu Dao, so he enrolled Wu Yisheng in English and Go classes. When Wu Yisheng didn't perform well, Shi Qingqing would often lose his temper at him, saying that he had wasted his hard work.

Wu Dao didn't want to interfere, but he was very opposed to this kind of education, so he said to Shi Qingqing:

"A person has to do different things at different ages, and children should live a free and happy life, instead of being forced to learn all kinds of things every day like now, which is not scientific at all.

I'll also tell you that I didn't even go to kindergarten when I was a kid, and I played outside every day before I went to elementary school. What children can't lose at the starting line are all nonsense made up by some people in order to make money. ”

"You're a college teacher, and you only teach college students, not children. Now it's different from before, you go and inquire, now other people's children are in various classes, kindergarten children, some can memorize hundreds of ancient poems, some can speak fluent English, and some have won awards for painting, which are all learned in the tutorial class.

Other people's children are on, but our children are not, what can we do in the future? If you don't study now, you will definitely not study well in elementary school, and if you are not good in elementary school, you will not be good in junior high school, and even if you go to high school, you will definitely not be able to go to a good university in the end.

If you can't go to a good university, you won't have a good job, and your life will be over, and I don't want my children to grow up to be as uneducated as me. Shi Qingqing said.

"We are a tutoring agency ourselves, can't you see that those words are used by others to brainwash parents?"

"It's because I'm running a tutoring agency that I know it's important to go to tutoring classes, and there are a lot of students who have improved their grades with us, which is a fact, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to recruit students.

When our child goes to primary school, I will also let him attend our tutoring class and learn cultural classes well. In addition, learn another art, piano, painting, calligraphy, choose one. Now these years are the time to develop intelligence, we need to learn more, develop our brains well, and learn everything quickly when I go to elementary school.

I also thought about it, don't you know French, you should teach your children to learn French now, learn one more foreign language, and when they grow up, they will be more competitive. Now the competition in society is too fierce, how can you do it if you don't learn more things! You say, am I right? ”

Wu Dao felt that Shi Qingqing was hopeless, and thought that she was Wu Yisheng's biological mother, and his biological father was just a nominal one, so there was no need to care so much, he said to Shi Qingqing:

"Educate your children, just do what you say."

Wu Dao also wanted to say, "The child is not mine, you are his own mother, you can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me." "But that would be too cruel, not only would it be cruel to Shi Qingqing, but more importantly, it would hurt Wu Yisheng. In the end, he still restrained the anger in his heart and suppressed the words in his heart.

Wu Dao's sleep was originally very poor, often insomnia, with the increasing conflict between husband and wife, the problem of insomnia has become more and more serious, which has affected normal work. In order to improve sleep, Wu Dao often sleeps alone in a small bedroom.

Between Wu Dao and Shi Qingqing, Wu Yisheng originally liked Wu Dao more, because he was always a kind and loving father in front of him, never lost his temper, and was always very patient.

After going to kindergarten, Shi Qingqing forced Wu Yisheng to do all kinds of things every day, and he was even more afraid of his mother, so he relied on Wu Dao even more.

Although Shi Qingqing took Wu Yisheng to participate in various parent-child classes and specialty classes, the people who picked up and dropped off children to and from the kindergarten were all Wu Dao, and most of the activities in the kindergarten that required parents to participate were also participated in by Wu Dao.

Half a year after Wu Yisheng went to kindergarten, he suddenly began to care about the topic of aging and death. One day Wu Dao went to the kindergarten to pick up Wu Yisheng, and Wu Yisheng said to him:

"Dad, does everybody get old?"

"Yes." Wu Dao said.

"Will you and your mom get old too?"

"yes."

"At that time, did you become grandpa and grandma?"

"That's right."

Wu Yisheng suddenly cried and said:

"But I already have a grandfather and grandmother, you and my mother have become grandfathers and grandmothers, and I will have no father and mother."

"Silly boy, when we get old, we are still your father and mother. By that time you have grown into an adult, you will become a father, and you will have children, and we are the grandfathers and grandmothers of that child. ”

After listening to Wu Dao's words, Wu Yisheng stopped crying. A few days later, when Wu Dao went to pick up Wu Yisheng, Wu Yisheng said to him again:

"Dad, will all the kids grow up?"

"Yes, every child grows into an adult." Wu Dao said.

"Dad, I don't want to grow up."

"Why don't you want to grow up?"

"I don't want to die, when people grow up, they are going to die, I don't want to die."

Wu Dao felt very surprised, how could a child suddenly say such a thing, he asked Wu Yisheng:

"Why do you say such things, is it the teacher who told you, or is it another child who told you?"

"When the children in the kindergarten play games, some children often pretend to be dead, and when they die, they can't move, they don't know anything, and I don't want to die."

"It's all a game, it's not real."

"Dad, will you and Mom get old too?"

"yes, everybody gets old, I told you the other day."

"Are you going to die when you're old?"

Faced with this question, Wu Dao suddenly didn't know how to answer, if to tell the truth, it was too cruel for a child, so he said:

"We'll be with you always."

Wu Yisheng believed Wu Dao's words. However, a few days later, Wu Yisheng said to Wu Dao again when he got out of school:

"Dad, I don't want to die, and I don't want you and Mom to die."

"Why do you say death again?"

"When the teacher told us the story, he said that grandpa and grandma will die when they are old, and he also said that dad and mom will grow old, and we will become grandpa and grandma in the future. I don't want to die, and I don't want you and Mom to die. ”

Wu Yisheng said and cried again. Wu Dao thought of the dead Wu He and the aging Wu Yang and Li Mei, and he suddenly felt that people really need faith, because birth, old age, sickness and death are too cruel for conscious and emotional people.

After thinking about it, Wu Dao decided to tell a lie to Wu Yisheng:

"Everybody gets old and dies, and mom and dad will die one day. When you grow up, you will grow old and you will die. When you die, the soul will find your father and mother, and then we will be together forever. ”

Hearing Wu Dao say this, Wu Yisheng became happy again. Later, Wu Yisheng often talked about death, but his attitude changed from negative and fearful to positive and optimistic. He said to Wu Dao:

"Dad, in another hundred years, will we all be dead?"

"Yes." Wu Dao said.

"In another hundred and twenty years, will we all be dead?"

"Yes."

"Are all the kindergarten teachers dead?"

"Yes."

"In another thousand years, ten thousand years, will everyone be dead?"

"Yes."

"Are all the children dead?"

"Yes."

"When we die, will we all fly to the sky?"

"Yes."

"What if I can't find you and my mother?"

"Mom and I will come looking for you."

"When I can't find you, I call my father and mother, and you come to me when you hear it?"

"Yes."

Wu Yisheng's words made Wu Dao constantly think about the problem of faith, once he thought that his belief was literature, and then became Si Baifang, now he rarely reads literary works anymore, Si Baifang has long been married to others, cut off the news, and more than half of what he does every day is what he doesn't like or even hate.

At this time, Wu Dao suddenly found that none of his dreams had been completed, and he didn't even know why he was alive in the past few years, and the future was directionless, and the once high-spirited young man had reached the age of thirty-eight unconsciously, and his heart was extremely desolate.
