Chapter 63: Talking Meetings (Part II)
“…… Okay, that's all for today. Please bring your parents back to your class and carry out our theme activities! ”
The [Speech Meeting] activity officially began after Mr. Sun's general truth.
Chen Tao followed Qiao Yingzi to the corridor outside her classroom, sat on a stool with Song Qian, and waited patiently in the order arranged in advance.
Huang Zhitao stood by the parapet, looking at the scenery downstairs, and his mood was a little depressed.
Many of my classmates' parents, even if they are divorced, came to participate in the event today.
And she only has her uncle Pan Shuai.
"Taozi, if you have anything to say, you can tell me~"
Qiao Yingzi was very smart and saw her best friend's thoughts, so she walked over to make her happy.
"I talk to you every day, where do you have anything to say now?"
As he spoke, Huang Zhitao was about to tickle Qiao Yingzi.
"Don't, don't, I have something to say to you~"
Qiao Yingzi immediately begged for mercy.
"What nonsense, I don't want to be your mother."
Huang Zhitao blurted out.
“……”
Qiao Yingzi was speechless for a moment, and said in her heart that you had better not learn from Sister Lin, otherwise we two good sisters really have nothing to do.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Tao walked into the empty classroom.
For this event, most of the tables, chairs and benches were moved to the corridor, and only three soft chairs were placed in the middle of the classroom.
The three of them sat on it, their backs to back, and no one could see the other.
And in front of the three moving chairs, three vertical mirrors were placed, and the words "Know the family, speak freely; Listen with affection, move with your heart] these four words...... The intention of this arrangement is obvious, that is, to let people see their own hearts.
To be honest, the idea of this event is really good.
But if you think about it carefully, there are dozens of families in a class, even if each family only talks for ten minutes, I am afraid that this afternoon time is not enough.
But if it's only ten minutes, or even less, how deep can we talk about?
It's just a formality.
As soon as Chen Tao thought so, Li Meng stood at the door and reminded: "Qiao Yingzi, hurry up with your parents, there are still many parents waiting outside!" ”
Qiao Yingzi snorted and said to Chen Tao and Song Qian:
"Sit down, let's finish quickly, don't delay the other parents' time."
Chen Tao sat comfortably on the chair.
Song Qian also sat down, the expression on her face was quite serious, but she was a little nervous in her heart, not knowing what her daughter would say.
Qiao Yingzi struggled again and again before she said seriously:
"Dad, Mom, since I was a child, I don't have to worry about your learning, and I have always listened to you. Later, you divorced and asked me for my opinion. At that time, I already vaguely knew that even if you were reluctantly together, you would not feel happy, so I did not object. Besides, it's useless for me to object, you certainly won't listen...... But, I really don't want to see you divorced. ”
Chen Tao hummed and comforted:
"In general, no child wants to see their parents divorce...... Yingzi, I can understand your feelings. But there are some things, it just happens so irrevocably, it can make you feel painful, it can make you very difficult to accept. But when you wake up, you have to slowly learn to accept it, and then pick yourself up and move on. ”
Qiao Yingzi is already an adult, and her EQ and IQ are quite high, Chen Tao naturally will not treat her as a child like Song Qian.
Therefore, he will say some things very directly, lest this girl still have any unrealistic fantasies, and then there will be more pain.
Song Qian pursed her lips and didn't want to talk about this topic:
"Yingzi, about this matter, let's talk about it later, let's talk more about you now."
Pursing her lips, Qiao Yingzi stubbornly said:
"Mom, in fact, I know very well that you have paid a lot for me, and you have worked very hard over the years, so I am very grateful to you, and I will not expect you to remarry my father. I just hope that my father can be happy, and I also hope that you can give me more trust and less blame. ”
Song Qian nodded: "Yes." ”
Qiao Yingzi continued: "If you can, I hope my mother can support me to take the NTU. ”
This girl finally has a showdown.
Song Qian was a little puzzled: "Nanda? Isn't it the university in Jinling? ”
Qiao Yingzi snorted, and said in a trembling voice:
"Yes, I want to go to Jinling and study astronomy at NTU......
Song Qian couldn't help but stand up, and her voice became louder:
"The universities in the capital are not much worse than the relevant majors of Nanjing University, right? Why do you want to go to school there? Besides, how can any of our children in the capital want to run out?! ”
Chen Tao said reasonably: "What you said is not right. The children in the capital will go abroad if they have the conditions, which is much farther than going to Jinling! ”
When Song Qian heard this, she immediately turned the gun and said to him dissatisfiedly:
"Yingzi wants to be admitted to NTU, did you pick it up? If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense to Yingzi! ”
Chen Tao did not immediately refute, but looked at his cheap daughter.
In the final analysis, Song Qian is not the only one who needs to change.
Qiao Yingzi also had to make a change.
Chen Tao was not interested in convincing Song Qian again and again so that Qiao Yingzi could continue to be her mother's good daughter.
Qiao Yingzi had to make up her mind first, say her true thoughts, and show her firm attitude......
"This parent, please don't leave your seat, and don't use this attitude to interrupt the child's speech, which violates the original intention and rules of our Speak Up Event."
Before Qiao Yingzi could say anything, the teacher in charge of this activity pushed the door in and showed her attitude.
"Okay, sorry, I see."
Song Qian didn't insist, but sat down obediently.
After the teacher left, she said coldly:
"Qiao Weidong, I don't care what you say to Yingzi, anyway, I will never agree to her going to school in Jinling."
Chen Tao closed his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Qiao Yingzi had no choice but to explain to Song Qian:
"Studying the universe has been my dream since I was a child; Admission to NTU for the astronomy major is also my own goal, and it has nothing to do with my father. ”
Song Qian is still willing to believe this.
But...... She was very dissatisfied with Chen Tao's attitude:
"Qiao Weidong, your daughter is going to school in Jinling, so you don't have any opinions?"
Chen Tao smiled and said: "As long as Yingzi's idea is reasonable and feasible, then I will support her." Not to mention NTU, even if it is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology thousands of miles away, as long as she can pass the exam, then I support her to study abroad. ”
What Qiao Weidong would not agree to is not a problem at all in Chen Tao's place.
'Still studying abroad?' What should I do if she stays abroad to work in the future and doesn't come back?! ’
Song Qian categorically refused: "It's useless if you don't support it, Yingzi has to listen to my mother." ”
PS: Don't worry, everyone, the foreshadowing is just in place.
