It was a very important conversation, and in a sense, it had a profound impact on Xiao Daqian's life.

Director Tang is a very talkative person, and he is also very measured, he asked his daughter to make a cup of tea for Xiao Daqian, seeing that the young man's hand holding the teacup was a little trembling, he wanted to laugh, the boy's cowardice or fear is not a defect, on the contrary, this is a kind of character and upbringing, at least from the perspective of the superior, it is correct to have expectations and respect for the world. He could observe the behavior of his daughter and Xiao Daqian after entering the door, and there was no ambiguity in the boy's eyes, which meant that between Xiao Daqian and his daughter, at least until now, there was absolutely no sign of love as the couple imagined.

Director Tang believes in his daughter very much, but this sensitive adolescent parents can't help but think about it a little more, almost every day when they talk about their classmates, Tang Aijun has to say how Xiao Daqian is, sometimes he is happy, sometimes he is angry, saying that he is ridiculously stupid, and the last time Xiao Daqian's cousin arranged work, the daughter begged for herself, saying that the woman was so pitiful and pitiful, she was Xiao Daqian's cousin Yunyun, this is not a difficult thing, Director Tang succeeded with a phone call, but he was worried that his daughter would fall in love too early. Confucius said: A gentleman has three precepts: when he is little, his blood is undecided, and his precepts are in color; and its strength, the blood is strong, and the ring is fighting; and his old age, the flesh is declining, and the abstinence is in it. Director Tang was afraid that his daughter would follow Wang Aimei's old path and meet someone who made her heart flutter at an inappropriate age, especially at this critical moment. Recently, Tang Aijun's academic performance has dropped a lot, and he is worried about this teenager.

Just looking at his current actions, Director Tang understands that he is thinking too much, but this does not affect his consideration of his daughter's future, this young man has a bit of his own shadow back then.

Director Tang is also a child from the countryside, he is the first batch of secondary school normal students after the founding of the country, first as a teacher and then into politics, he understands the shortcomings of people like himself, but also understands his own strengths: hard work and resentment listen to the party, but they are more or less pedantic. He sometimes thinks about his own path, and finds that there have been many turning points that have relied on his own exploration, there are right and wrong, but the general direction has never been a problem, maybe he has not taken shortcuts but has not experienced turbulent waves, and his education for children is also based on this point of view, first to be a person and then to become a talent.

After briefly asking Xiao Daqian's family situation, he heard that his parents were farmers, Director Tang nodded, he lit a cigarette, and then deliberately asked Xiao Daqian: "Will you smoke?" ”

Xiao Daqian waved his hands resolutely: "No!" No! ”

Director Tang took a puff and smiled: "You are right, smoking is harmful to health, Aijun doesn't let me smoke at home, alas, sometimes I am too tired, so I found such a way to relax for myself." Dagan, both of us are children from the countryside, and Aijun and his grandparents are also in the countryside. This sentence narrowed the distance between Xiao Daqian and him, and the young man nodded gratefully.

Tang Aijun stood up, took the cigarette case that his father had put on the table, and gestured with his hand: it meant that he could only smoke one. Xiao Daqian remembered his father Xiao Weidong's education model, he rarely had such an intimacy with his father, but his sister Xiao Aihua was prone to lawlessness, and Xiao Weidong was helpless, the relationship between father and daughter and father and son was completely different.

Director Tang decided to get straight to the point: "Aijun said that you are going to study medicine, do you have any ideas?" Tell me about it. I'll help you analyze it. ”

Xiao Daqian's hands were no longer shaking, Director Tang's series of actions just now made him relax a little, but he was still a little stumbling to answer the question, he knew that he should tell the truth: "My mother died of illness when I was ten years old, I think if I were a doctor, I could save my mother." That's why I wanted to study medicine. ”

Director Tang took a deep breath of cigarette, and a wave of sympathy filled his heart: This is a child who has no mother since he was a child, but he has never heard of his situation, and he can't help but look at his daughter. Tang Aijun hurriedly added: "Xiao Daqian's aunt is his stepmother. Dad, stepmom is very nice to him. ”

Xiao Daqian nodded vigorously, yes, his aunt is similar to his own mother, but I have to say that the death of his mother is the heaviest stone in Xiao Daqian's heart.

Director Tang took another puff of cigarette, and he said, "Dagan, I understand, you think that becoming a doctor can cure diseases and save people, right?" Is that how you understand the profession? I would like to ask you a question, is it important for you to be a doctor or to go to college? ”

"It's important to go to college!" Xiao Daqian did not hesitate, what he wanted to do most now was to change his identity, that is, to be admitted to university first, in fact, he repeatedly considered it when he was admitted to the primary secondary school two years ago, it was Jin Yunfei who used the term ideal to make him change, of course, it also has something to do with Jin Yunfei himself, Jin Yunfei never gave up on the journalist profession, and also helped him find the direction of a doctor, but no matter from which point of view, Xiao Daqian's real ideal is to be admitted to university, if there is no choice, then any career can be accepted by him.

That's right! Director Tang let the problem development idea enter his preset route, he nodded, the child can be taught! It's not that it's wrong to be a doctor wholeheartedly, but that kind of obsession is easy to make people go to extremes, he once wanted to be a teenager and resolutely study medicine, maybe he doesn't need to do much work, but if he just has more desire for the future, he can instill his own ideas. Director Tang said: "Yes, I also think that the university itself is the most important, we have the opportunity to choose first, and then we can choose!" Dagan, let me give you a brief description of my thoughts, of course, this also applies to the Patriotic Army. ”

The two high school students nodded, and Tang Aijun touched Xiao Daqian with his arm: "Drink tea!" Xiao Daqian snorted, his eyes staring at Director Tang tightly, as if listening to a teacher's lecture in class.

Director Tang said: "From the perspective of personal development, I don't think that career priority, of course, there are many people who are particularly passionate about a certain profession, but people are changing. Aijun once wanted to be a writer when he was a child, and later wanted to be a female tractor driver, and his dream was to become a female scientist in his first year of high school. Dagan, have you changed if you want to be a doctor? ”

Xiao Daqian thought about it, he didn't have a standard answer to this question, since he was inspired by Jin Yunfei to the concept of ideals, he didn't think much about it, his understanding of doctors is a white coat, as for the content of the work, etc., he just felt that he wanted to become a doctor, just like Jin Yunfei became a reporter. He shook his head a little dazedly.

Director Tang said: "Career is part of the ideal, but the most practical ideal is to change, just like you must be admitted to university. So maybe what you really want is not necessarily to be a doctor, but to be better. Therefore, applying for the exam is a kind of multiple-choice question of fate. ”

Although I didn't particularly understand it, Director Tang's words made Xiao Daqian feel like he was stunned, he was right, my ideal is to be admitted to university, not to be a doctor, so I have more choices to apply for the exam. So what are the options?

Director Tang's cigarette burned out, he obviously wanted to light another one, his eyes looked at his daughter, Tang Aijun didn't seem to see it, she whispered to Xiao Daqian: "Is my dad right?" ”

Xiao Daqian nodded, he still had hungry eyes, he wanted to listen to Director Tang, seeing that it was hopeless to ask for cigarettes, Director Tang had no choice but to cough and continue: "I think the highest stage of the university entrance examination is not what kind of major you choose, the most important thing is to let you have a better development in the future." Dagan, if there are two positions now, one is a doctor, and the other is working in the government like I am now, and doctors can be arranged, which one would you choose? ”

This is already secretly stimulating Xiao Daqian's desire for power, this is the test question of the director of the county party committee office, judging whether a person is a professional type or a power type, he feels that Xiao Daqian should be the latter, in this country, there are very few people who really seek professional development, especially those who have experienced the era before and after reform and opening up.

Xiao Daqian thought for a long time, and finally said: "I want to work in the government!" ”
