Yuan Yuxiao's concept of the tax bureau is very vague, and vaguely imagines it as a kind of agency life. And agency life, in his cognition, is to sit in the office reading the newspaper and drinking tea, repeating day after day in a gloomy mood.

It doesn't seem quite like the life he wants.

However, it is very stable......

Moreover, he will soon be able to support himself without the burden of his parents.

This means that he is an adult!

After entering adolescence, it has always been his dream to become a self-reliant adult......

Moreover, going to university means that he can't see the future clearly, and the other option, the future becomes very clear.

He has always liked things that are easy to see. If there are two roads to a place, he will definitely choose the one he is most familiar with, even if someone says that there is a better scenery on another less familiar road.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt that if he couldn't go to the tax office because he chose to go to university, it seemed to be a pity.

A problem that had no suspense suddenly appeared and needed to be chosen, and for the first time at the age of eighteen, he felt lost about the direction of the future.

He sent Brother Hong away, and walked home with a lot of thoughts, and at this time his mother had already begun to wash vegetables, and when she saw him, she said with a spring breeze on her face: "It's okay this time!" I will be able to have a job and earn money soon, this job is easy, it is still an iron rice bowl, the most important thing is that I am close to home at work, this is really the ancestral grave of your Yuan family is smoking! "Mother's voice is as crisp and smooth as movement.

It turned out that this was really the mother's intention, not out of her politeness to the guests!

Now in Yuan Yuxiao's heart, all the thoughts came out, and she began to break and combine, combine and shatter......

Although it has changed from no suspense to re-evaluation, the two ends are not balanced, the one end of college is obviously much heavier, but the mother suddenly threw a major weight at the other party, and the balance swayed even more, Yuan Yuxiao has always been a person who is easily swayed by other people's opinions, not to mention that this opinion comes from his parents.

"But wasn't I admitted to Wuhan University......

Before giving in, Yuan Yuxiao began to symbolically resist.

"Finding a good job is the most important thing in life, college, after a few years, I don't know where I will be assigned, and I may not necessarily be assigned to a unit that you are satisfied with, I still hope you can stay with your parents!" Mom looked at him with an apologetic smile, as if asking for advice, and as if trying to win his approval, and said, "Do you think that's the case?" ”

Yuan Yuxiao understood her mother's expression and tone, and was silent.

He's now starting to suffer from gains and losses. It's a pity to give up one head at will. And he had to give it up.

After a little confusion, he quickly decided to abandon the trade-offs in this confusion, and he planned to wait for foreign help.

The foreign aid is his father.

Let's see what my father thinks.

If the two ends are now at odds, then the father's support for either end will become a decisive force. In fact, although the father always follows the mother in general matters, the father has the right to decide on very important matters.

And the things that determine your future are, of course, not trivial.

So, which end will the father support?

Judging from the words of his father at noon who evaluated the significance of his university study from a historical height, it is more likely that he supports reading. As for whether he can be assigned to his parents' side in the future, it is probably not able to stump his father, because he has always taught Yuan Yuxiao that "good men are ambitious in all directions", and this creed has no conflict with going out to study or work.

Of course, in terms of his own temperament, Yuan Yuxiao actually doesn't want to "aim in all directions", he likes to stay in his familiar environment.

But the dream of college, in the influence of several years from the family, school and the whole society, naturally also occupies a non-negligible proportion in his heart.

It's up to the winner of the parental dispute – if they have a dispute at all.

Of course, if they are on the same page, then there is no need to hesitate on their own.

Yuan Yuxiao's personality has always been a little indecisive, and when making major decisions, if someone comes to do it for him, he has always been too lazy to worry about it himself.

It's like going out with a key, if someone does, he doesn't bother to bring it.

My father's work was far away from home, so he always came home a little later, and unlike his mother, he often left a little early from time to time to take care of household chores. Father is the kind of screw that sticks to his job and never rusts for decades.

But today, when Yuan Yuxiao was looking forward to his father's coming home for the first time in his life, his father's home still seemed a little too late, and when it was completely dark, he walked into the house happily.

"I came back so late, the food was cold, and I took the initiative to work overtime?" Mother complained.

It is not new for fathers to take the initiative to work overtime and be on duty. Yuan Yuxiao remembers that when she was a child, she often spent Chinese New Year's Eve with her mother on duty in the factory with her father. When others change shifts with him, he basically agrees. He's a good old man.

"You can eat first, and you don't have to wait for me. I'm not working overtime today, I'm going to buy a watch for Yuxiao after work, Shanghai-made, Xianhe, a college student! My father smiled and took out a watch, holding it above his head and dangling it. Since Yuan Yuxiao was a child, every time his father bought a new toy or a new villain book, he would do this to Yuan Yuxiao. Even though Yuan Yuxiao would no longer jump to grab it later, his father still formed this habit and has maintained it.

A watch made in Shanghai, this specification is so high!

Yuan Yuxiao only listened to Guan Mucun's "To Gramophone Lake" on the radio, and the audience in the evening ordered the program, and he almost never pulled it down. Because of his intense study, he hasn't watched a movie for more than half a year, and for most of the past six months, listening to this half-hour music program every day has been his only entertainment.

"What a college student, you're outdated!" Mother said happily.

"What do you mean?" The watch in my father's hand was still dangling.

"Do you remember when he took the tax cadre exam a few months ago?"

The dangling watch froze for a moment, "How can you not remember!" What's wrong? What do you do when you suddenly ask about this? Alas, that's an indicator that I've managed to get through, but there's been no news from there, and besides, he's now in college. ”

"Just now, someone from the tax bureau came and said that he was admitted!"

As soon as his mother said this, although Yuan Yuxiao's body and expression were motionless, he turned his ears that were listening to the song intently, like rabbit ears, and turned the ground in his father's direction.

"Admitted to the tax office?" The father stared at his mother's face, as if to confirm it, and then, he suddenly burst out with a very rare spring bright smile, which almost scared Yuan Yuxiao.

"What a good thing! What a good thing! I've always had this on my mind! Think about it, I haven't put forward any requirements to the organization in my life, I have fought for anything, this time for the sake of my son, I really have no way to fight for this indicator, if he didn't pass the test, he wasted this indicator, so many employees have to scold me, what else do I have to ask for in the future? How can I afford to speak, if he didn't go because he went to college this time, and he barely counted a reason, he would lose both ends, then I won't be able to look up for the rest of my life, it's too good, it's good, it's good......"

Father's words are good, he is an old-fashioned in the eyes of everyone, old-fashioned to the New Year's holidays, if relatives and friends come to pay New Year's greetings and bring gifts, he will block the door and prevent people from entering. Except for this indicator, he really didn't ask for anything from the organization.

Yuan Yuxiao instantly felt ...... The big picture is decided.

The father and mother apparently agreed on the same page, although the reasons for the two men were very different.

But now that he had become much calmer about the outcome than he had been at the beginning, he could not help but admit that no matter which of the two outcomes was taken, he would regret losing the other. The idiom "the best of both worlds" is just a dream in this matter.

If there are regrets on either side, then it is completely meaningless to calculate which regret is greater and what the ratio between the sizes is, and it is not what he is good at.

He mechanically sets up the dishes and chopsticks and serves the rice mechanically. He is now a robot who has lost his brain.

"Don't eat yet!" My father happily took down a bottle of Guilin Sanhua wine from a bookshelf nailed to the wall, which he had brought back from a business trip to Guilin last year. "Today is a big day, we should celebrate!"

He actually took out three wine glasses, "Come on, come on, one glass each!" ”

This is the first time that my father toasted Yuan Yuxiao and her mother.

"Look at you, get carried away, what you bring to your son." The mother smiled and sneered.

"Special circumstances, just this once, not an example!" Father said.

Yuan Yuxiao grew up, and when she heard her father talk about wine, she seemed to say that it was the biggest poison in the world, "From ancient times to the present, heroes only die in two words, one is wine, and the other is color!" This quote from his father almost wore out his eardrums.

Today, he took the initiative to share this "poison" with Yuan Yuxiao and his mother.

Everyone sat down, and his father took a cup and touched him, this was the first time in Yuan Yuxiao's life that his father was allowed to drink, and he clinked glasses with his father. The most important choice of his life was decided in such a moment.

In front of his mother, he can still ask "what to do with the university notice", but in front of his father, he can't even ask this sentence, about ten years of accumulation, and it is also about his character, he has never been willing to pour cold water on the people on his head.

He sipped slightly, but his father was dry.

Then my father picked up the new watch and said, "This is a reward for your college entrance examination, and besides, now that you are working, tomorrow, let's see if you want to consider buying a new bicycle?" It's both a reward and a convenience for work! His inquiring eyes looked at Yuan Yuxiao's mother.

"This-" The mother paused with a calculating expression, and quickly continued: "This is probably not necessary, if you become a cadre in the future, there should be a bicycle in the agency, right?" ”

"Oh yes, I forgot about that, there are buses and buses! That's for sure! I'm already a public person! Father smiled even more.

Then he said loudly: "My son is really competitive, find a good job, this is your greatest filial piety!" ”

My father once again summed up the extraordinary significance of this matter, and the admission to university mentioned during the day was a historical height, and the current examination for work is another height of character. The praise that reached such a high level came from the mouth of the father, who had only heard two sentences in eighteen years, and both of them were concentrated on this day.

Seeing that Yuan Yuxiao had been silent, his mother thought that there might be unresolved knots in his heart, so she whispered: "Xiaoxiao is still thinking about the university admission notice......

Hearing this, the father instinctively understood that the mother was also inclined to let her son go to college, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, and after taking another sip of wine, he slowly spoke with the expression and tone that is special for persuading others: "Studying in college, of course, is the best thing!" However, now that we have a choice, we must consider it, Yuxiao is now in an age group with the greatest ideological changes, and it is very easy to be affected by the bad influence of society. ”

It turns out that this choice can be added to the father's so many reasons.

Mother smiled and said: "Xiaoxiao, your father is reasonable, I didn't expect this layer, just thinking of leaving us, it is not easy to take care of you in life......

"That's nothing, you can't always protect it like an old hen in life, Yuxiao, I don't know how much you can understand what I said, but knowing the son is not as good as the father, I believe you can figure it out and understand. I'm very relieved about this. Father said confidently as always.

Then it was like noon, the mother stopped talking, and the father began to tell him to focus on his studies, and that the man should start a family first, and then think about personal problems after the age of thirty......
