15. Always stay by my mother's side
After getting the admission letter from Danbei College, Bai Xiaoding also needed to have a showdown with Bai Changshan. At the dinner table that day, Bai Changshan said to his son that he had already contacted No. 1 Middle School, and he could go to repeat the study by going through the procedures in advance, encouraging him to study hard only and not vent, and he should exercise more and train his body well.
"Dad," Xiao Ding put down his chopsticks at that time, lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to repeat my studies, I want to go to Danbei College." ”
"What?" When Bai Changshan heard this, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and then he suddenly lowered his face and said loudly: "No! Tintin, you can't give up on yourself with a little setback! ”
"Dad, I'm not giving up on myself, I really want to go to Danbei College." Bai Xiaoding's voice was not loud, but it was very firm.
"Nonsense!" Bai Changshan put down the dishes and chopsticks with a "bang" and became angry, "If you hadn't been able to finish it this time, you would have been able to at least be admitted to Beijing Normal University!" Repeat the exam for a year, Peking University is very promising! You have to understand that getting into a good university has a very big impact on your future, so big that it can determine the fate of your life! If you go to Danbei University, the second college, it will be a problem to find employment in the future! ”
"Changshan, don't be angry......" Seeing this, Zhang Xiulan hurriedly persuaded her.
"Can I not get angry? He...... How could he have such a useless idea! ”
"Changshan, my son has grown up, whether you agree with him to go to the North Courtyard or not, you have to listen calmly to what he thinks first."
Zhang Xiulan's request made Bai Changshan unable to refuse, and he snorted angrily: "Okay, let's talk, I want to hear what you think." ”
Zhang Xiulan turned to Bai Xiaoding to encourage him, "Ding Ding, talk to your dad well!" ”
"Dad, these days I've been wondering whether or not to repeat it, whether to repeat it. I only filled in the one college of Danbei University, and I thought, if I am not admitted to Danbei University, I will repeat my studies. Bai Xiaoding said, took out the admission letter of Danbei College from his pants pocket and put it on the table.
Bai Changshan glanced at the notice, "What if you are admitted?" I won't let you go! ”
"Changshan!" Zhang Xiulan screamed angrily, and Bai Changshan looked at her and stopped talking.
"Dad, I really don't think that I have to go to a prestigious university to be successful in the future, what I want to say is that as long as I work hard, as long as my learning ability is strong enough, I can become a talented person in Danbei University!" The more Bai Xiaoding said, the more emotional he became, "There are still many people in society who have never studied in college at all, aren't they just as successful?" Our class Yan Ziming's father is a typical example, he is the richest man in Danbei, but he didn't even finish junior high school! ”
"Humph! Can it be the same now and then? Bai Changshan scoffed at his son's words, "How fierce the competition in society is now!" If you don't have a hard diploma, you won't even be able to touch the threshold of success! ”
"Dad, Danbei College is also a good institution." Zhang Xiulan began to help her son.
"Come on," Bai Changshan waved his hand impatiently, "That's a second child, what's so good!" ”
"Dad!" Bai Xiaoding stood up suddenly, looking very sad, "Do you know? The more you do this, the more stressed I feel......"
"No pressure, no motivation!" Bai Changshan didn't eat it softly and hard, "Isn't it right for me to put pressure on you?" You're a student, and your job is to get good grades! ”
Looking at the grievances on her son's face, Zhang Xiulan felt distressed, she walked to Xiao Ding's side and stroked his shoulder, and made her position clear to Bai Changshan, "His father, there are some things you don't want to listen to, I have to say it, just say that Ding Ding fainted in this exam, and the doctor said that in addition to his fever, he was too nervous and caused by low blood sugar!" ”
Bai Changshan glanced at his wife suspiciously, his brows furrowed, he couldn't understand why the two of them suddenly didn't repeat the same sentence, the child's opinion can be refuted and ignored, but his wife's opinion must be seriously considered, at this time, seeing Zhang Xiulan standing on Xiao Ding's side so firmly, he was a little shaken.
"Dad, I know you have high expectations for me, but if I repeat my studies for another year, I am not sure that I will be admitted to a prestigious university. Moreover, do you know why I only filled in the university of Danbei University? Because if you go to college for four years in a foreign country, the time is too long. My mother is not in good health, I don't feel at ease, I don't want to leave Danbei, I want to stay by my mother's side all the time......" Xiao Ding's voice choked, this is his true words, and it is also another explanation for the reason why he does not repeat.
Bai Changshan was speechless, deeply moved by his son's words. Xiao Ding's filial piety has always been something that his father is proud of, and he can reprimand his son for not repeating his studies because he is unproductive and unmotivated, but this reason makes him unable to refute. Zhang Xiulan listened to her son's aggrieved and heart-warming words, and also wiped away her tears.
"Since you've thought about all of this, and your mother agrees, then I don't care." After being silent for a long time, Bai Changshan finally let out a long sigh, slowly stood up and returned to the room.
