Chapter 39: The Daughter Is a Treasure
Cheng Jia'an was stunned for a moment, his heart seemed to be stabbed by a needle, and he looked up in shock and asked, "Jiang Shui, why do you think so?" Your studies have never been bad, and you still have a good chance of being admitted to university in the future......"
Cheng Jiangshui's cheeks were actually full of bitterness and sadness.
Sunshine Avenue is not reluctant to go, but it is blocked by the mountains, and it is helpless to break people's intestines.
Responsibility and reason both told her that this precocious eldest daughter was probably the best choice for this family!
She turned her head slowly, but her expression had changed to indifferent: "Dad, don't you say that in fact, I also know what the situation of our family is, it has not been easy for our family over the years, we have to save money, we have to raise our four children, and we have to help those relatives in our hometown from time to time." ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Jiangshui looked at the gray hair in distress and quietly appeared, the wrinkles of the years had climbed up to the corners of his eyebrows, and his father, who was overstretched by the burden of the family all the year round, was older than his peers, and his heart was full of pity and respect, and even his voice became choked.
"How many years have you and your mother not worn new clothes? Occasionally eat some meat, you all pull it into our bowl, hide in the kitchen, gnaw on the leftover bones we eat, eager to crush the bones and swallow the water, and my mother lied to me that this can replenish calcium...... Mom is eager to spend a penny as two cents, and the clothes are torn and repaired, dismantled and altered, and even if they are decayed, they have to be cut off and made into rags...... Usually, I saw it, and during this time, my mother asked me to manage the family's accounts, and I could better understand the difficulties here. ”
Cheng Jia'an lowered his head gloomily, his daughter's words made him feel a burst of bitterness in his heart, and he was also full of relief.
Who says these kids are muddled and confused all day?
They all saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. Gratitude is not spoken, but the words that come out of your mouth are the most superficial and hypocritical.
No matter what, the future of the child is crucial.
According to Cheng Jia'an's original intention, as long as his daughter has this heart, then he will smash the pot and sell iron to meet her wishes, he doesn't want his "little padded jacket" to leave any regrets in life. As for where the next two sons should go, they can only wait until the ship arrives at the dock to figure out how to turn around.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I really didn't expect my daughter to be so straightforward, directly rejecting the bright future, and then saying such words that made me feel ashamed.
The Cheng family calmed down and comforted Cheng Jiangshui: "These are not nothing!" Let the children worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, isn't that treating parents as decorations? Difficulties are temporary, you can come over, you don't have to worry about this. ”
Cheng Jiangshui shook his head gently, with a hint of resoluteness on his face: "Dad, I can't pretend not to see it when I see it!" If that's the case, it's going to be even harder for our family. Jiang He must go to college when he is big, he studies well and loves to read, it is a pity not to go to college. Jianghai will also go to school in a few years, how can our family support all three children to go to college in the future? ”
"Hey!" Cheng Jia'an sighed sadly, and his heart was gloomy. Reality is reality, no matter how tough you are, you can only raise your hands and surrender in the face of the cruel reality.
For a while, the self-blame for his incompetence and the guilt for his children came to his heart, and he laughed at himself: "It's all because your parents don't have the ability to do this, so that you children will also suffer." ”
Cheng Jiangshui's eyes began to be a little red and swollen, she squatted down, gently held her father's pale and rough hand, choked with tears: "Dad, don't say that, my son doesn't think the family is poor." To have your parents who give everything to their children like this is not a bitter thing for us, but a blessing. ”
Cheng Jia'an stretched out his hand tremblingly, stroked his daughter's black hair, looked at her sad and resolute eyes, and said with relief: "Jiang Shui, it's really rare that you can be so sensible!" But children, it's really unclear whether being sensible is a good thing or a bad thing, it's a lot of burden on parents, but it's not a fair thing for you after all. ”
"Dad, whether it's fair or not is another story. Since God made me the eldest daughter of this family, then I have to take on this responsibility, isn't my mother my role model? ”
Cheng Jiangshui's voice revealed an unyielding thought, and he said solemnly: "Besides, I don't believe that I can't be admitted to university, and I will be inferior in my life." ”
Cheng Jia'an watched Cheng Jiangshui silently, and for the first time he noticed that this daughter who was delicate and delicate in appearance, soft and soft, but her body was tall and strong, and she was not inferior to a man's steel and iron bones and tough meridians.
In a trance, the figure in front of me was not the flip board of Li Xiulan when she was young......
The road is made by people, but sometimes the temperament is forced out by the road! In the face of such a daughter, should I be relieved or sad?
Cheng Jia'an frowned gloomily and said: "Jiang Shui, I know you are a good boy, you have to think well, people's choices in this life are very important, and sometimes even more important than hard work!" If you choose the right road, it will be smooth sailing, and if you choose the wrong one, there will be many ditches and bumps. ”
Rubbing the back of his father's hand, Cheng Jiangshui pretended to be a bamboo in his chest, and said happily: "Dad, I have already thought about it, I will go to vocational high school after graduating from junior high school." Our homeroom teacher has told me that the health school on the side of our group is very good, it is close to home, and you can become a doctor when you come out, which is also a skill. ”
"What?" Cheng Jia'an was stunned and asked in surprise, "What?" Do you want to study medicine too? ”
"Hee-hee!" Cheng Jiangshui smiled brightly, like a spring breeze blowing willows: "Yes, isn't this just a good time for a woman to inherit her father's business!" ”
Cheng Jia'an frowned, and asked a little helplessly: "Then, do you want to study which subject?" ”
"Didn't you say that clinical is the basic skill, in addition to this, I also want to learn gynecology!"
"Gynecology? How did you think about studying gynecology? Cheng Jia'an was a little confused.
"I'm a girl!" Cheng Jiangshui blinked playfully, and said with a slight teasing smile: "Besides, I studied gynecology, so I won't need you to deliver babies in the future, hehe!" ”
"Nonsense! None of them are on the right track! ”
Cheng Jia'an rolled his eyes suddenly, and pretended to be annoyed, but in his heart, he secretly cheered for his daughter's maturity and stability and Zhou Xiang's thoughts.
There is a specialization in the surgical industry, and Cheng Jiangshui's choice of gynecology is indeed appropriate.
Take the health center of the group field as an example, there is no female doctor, and the daughters-in-law in the group field are thin-skinned, and they generally avoid medical treatment when they have minor illnesses and disasters, and they are thinking about how to use medicine in private. When I really don't have a trick, I come to the clinic with a red face and a shy answer, but this kind of gynecological disease can be treated by myself? If you meet a few bold aunts who are arrogant and unashamed, your face will be redder than those shy little daughters-in-law when you say them. This job is really a bit difficult for the big man, so it seems that the female doctor in the future is still quite popular.
Moreover, her daughter's choice is indeed the best choice made based on the practical difficulties of the family.
How can I not feel proud and proud to have such a well-behaved and sensible child who makes great choices?
Cheng Jia'an was both sweet and sour in his heart, and sighed faintly: "Hey, my daughter has really grown up, and she knows that she loves her parents...... Child, I have wronged you! ”
Cheng Jiangshui's tears were aroused again in an instant, and he gently leaned his pretty face on his father's thick thighs, and choked up with his mouth: "Dad, I'm not wronged!" ”
