Chapter 144: 7600 words(1/2)
Jiang Xi and I were also full, so our family of three took them back to our community with their mother and daughter.
We just came here today and Jiangdong hadn't played much, so with Tongtong, the two of them were very excited to play on the pirate ship.
I was responsible for watching the children at the playground. Because the community was big, I was still a little worried about leaving the children here to play alone.
Jiang Xi accompanied Tongtong's mother to walk around the community. When she finished transferring, she looked unsatisfied and envious.
"It's so great. It's like a paradise. Oh, I have no regrets in this life to live in such a community. No, I must live in it."
Jiang Xi smiled and said nothing. When it was dark, we took Jiangdong home. Tongtong thought it was rare to come once, so she said she would play for a while.
This incident is a small episode, and we didn't care much about it.
The quality of life in the family after that was very different.
In addition to the 24-hour security guard guard and outsiders really can't get in, we also feel the quality of first-class properties in Nanjing.
For example, if a wild dog accidentally enters the community, send a message from the property owner group and take a photo of the dog, the security guard will immediately drive the wild dog out on an electric bike.
It has to be mentioned that there is actually a police station in the community. Good guy, it looks safe.
One day, someone in the owners' group sent a message saying that his four-year-old child was missing. This was a big deal. The staff of the entire community helped to find it together. The most dedicated were the property staff and security guards. The surveillance video was immediately retrieved, but no suspicious people were found, nor did they see the children leaving the community.
So everyone started looking in the community, but as a result, they found a child under a tree. Because the child was having too much fun and tired, they found a comfortable tree leaf to sleep on it.
It was a false alarm, but at the same time, everyone was very satisfied with the performance of the property. I felt that it was safe and safe to play in the community!
Also, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, if there is noise in the neighbor's house, send a message from the owner group and tag the person in charge, and immediately send a security guard to check it. Then the security guard carefully observes and searches. He can always find the target person and then knock on the door to warn him.
Perhaps because the property is responsible, people living in this community will restrain themselves even if their quality is not high. Otherwise, if everyone has high quality, if someone has poor quality, someone will be highlighted.
Therefore, in this community, there will never be yelling in the middle of the night or moving in the middle of the night. Even if the noise is loud on the weekend, someone will complain that security guards will come to the door.
Sure enough, high-end communities are good!
We lived here for a month and felt a sense of tranquility and harmony!
Because he was still in the summer vacation, Jiang Xi only signed up for Jiang Dong to two interest classes, dance and art. Therefore, Jiang Dong didn’t feel the pressure of learning and lived a relatively comfortable life.
However, after living in the community for a long time, another problem was discovered. The parents in this community were very well educated, with a lot of masters and doctoral students. At the same time, these people also care about the education of their children.
One day, Jiang Xi went out to throw some garbage, and when she came back, her face turned a little pale, and she said in horror, "It's so terrible, so terrible!"
I was scared by her appearance and asked, "What's wrong with my wife? What's the terrible thing happened?"
Jiang Xi looked at me, sniffed and said, "I just chatted with the parents of two neighbors at the door for a while, and I was almost scared. What should I do?"
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious?" Did something big happen?
Jiang Xi looked at me blankly and said, "The two mothers talked about their children's situation to each other. One of them said that her daughter had passed the Cambridge Fe exam in the third grade of elementary school. Our Jiangdong? She hasn't even recognized the twenty-six letters?"
I said, "Don't be so anxious. Isn't Jiangdong only in the second grade?"
Jiang Xi looked speechless, "What do you mean is that Jiangdong can pass Cambridge Fe by the third grade? Will English be copied and pasted into her mind?"
Me, "...", our daughter probably doesn't have that special ability.
"What's even more terrifying is..." Jiang Xi continued, "Who lives opposite our house, the mother said that her child is now in the second year of junior high school and has finished all the courses in the second year of high school. Damn, it's so scary!"
"Wife! Let's not compare with others!" I could only comfort her like this.
Jiang Xi looked sad, "The children in this community are all academic masters. When I meet any one, either the class monitor or the study committee member, I have a premonition that when Jiangdong and Dongxi were in Qiaobei, they could still be a mid-level student. When they arrived here, they might be a real poor student!"
"Oh, wife, don't be too anxious. She is still young now and will be better at studying in the future. Besides, you see, didn't you graduate from elementary school? Didn't you not go to junior high school or high school? Didn't you still have a good life?"
Jiang Xi immediately looked like she was about to cry, "Oh, my god, don't use me as an example in the future. It's because you always say that Jiang Dong found another reason to not study hard, and she always criticized me for this matter, 'Don't you just graduated from elementary school? I promise I can graduate from elementary school too!' Oh! I'm so angry! My liver hurts!"
As she said that, she patted her heart. I was so funny that I couldn't help laughing by her appearance. Then I carried her into my arms and rubbed her head and said, "Wife, if you leave it to me for Jiang Dong to study, don't worry about it. I promise to let her get a first-class exam!"
Jiang Xi looked at me with unconscious eyes, a little unloyal, "Can you guarantee that nothing! Last time I asked you to tell your child an Olympiad problem, and it was obvious that a single formula could solve the problem, but you made x addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for her. She is a second-grade child. Can she understand your x equation? You two questions were not correct, but the quarrel was quite awesome. In the end, I, a graduate of elementary school, explained that question to her and couldn't count on you at all!"
I basically do not deny the sentence she sighed at the end, because every time I take the river to do homework, I feel like an earthquake happens at home.
Maybe I don’t know how to use the thinking of primary school students to explain questions to her, but she doesn’t understand it when using the thinking of college students.
"Well! I don't have time to take her homework now. I have to hurry up and write it. Today the editor urges me, so I have to sign up for her, Mathematical Olympiad, Chinese, and English! "
"Wife, if you sign up for so many classes, Jiang Dong will be very tired and expensive!"
Jiang Xi looked at me squintedly and said, "All the students in the class have applied. Only your family's child does not. What do you think will your child be like?"
"Report! Wife, if you want to report it!"
So, Jiangdong was originally having a lot of fun in the community every day, but Jiangdong was still obedient. Her mother signed her up for three extra classes and attended classes for ten days a day. Although she was a little tired, she still insisted.
One day when I was sending her to class, she asked me, "Dad, is it okay if I don't go to these classes?"
I patiently explained to her, "Daughter, you see that other people's children are all eligible. If you don't, you will become the one with the worst grades."
Jiang Dong lowered his head, and after a while, she said, "Dad, why did you and mom give birth to me? It would be great if you didn't give birth to me. If I hadn't come to this world, I wouldn't have to study so tired, and I don't like reading at all."
For some reason, when I heard Jiang Dong say this, my heart suddenly felt sore.
I reached out and held Jiang Dong in my arms, trying to comfort her tired young heart with fatherly love.
I still remember that readers were tired when I was a child, but they felt really different from what I feel now. At that time, I could play crazy after finishing my homework every day. Parents didn’t care about our studies at all, so parents didn’t have that much pressure. Children just need to complete the teacher’s homework well. Whether the remaining grades are good depends on the children themselves. In fact, it feels that way.
But now times have changed, and everyone is fighting for various cram school classes. A child who has never attended cram school and wants to compete with the children who have attended cram school in the system. If you may still be able to compete in a short period of time, or even have a chance of winning, but... if you fight a protracted battle, the children who do not attend cram school will be scored when the important exam comes.
I remember a relative in my family. She said that her child attended cram school all year round and kept the scores in the top five in each exam. The other child did not attend cram school and studied very hard. He did not score 100 points in small unit tests, and kept the scores in the top five every time, but...
Once the period is mid-term or important exams during the competition, the child will fall outside of ten.
Why? Because in the last additional questions of important exams, there will always be one or two difficult questions that the teacher has not explained before. The purpose is to increase the students' scores. Otherwise, if everyone works hard and has good grades, they will not be able to find out who have outstanding grades.
It is difficult for the child who has never been to cram school to do the questions correctly based on his own strength.
Therefore, Chinese parents have to sign up for cram school for their children if they have some ability. Although it is useless for some children to make up for it, everyone is still trying their best to make up for it.
It's like a mule and horse tied up in a carriage, a fat horse and a thin horse, a strong and weak horse, all have to run forward with exhaustion, and the same goes for children, otherwise they must accept the actual results of being lost.
Some people can accept being left behind with pleasure, while others are unwilling to give up until the last drop of blood.
This is a kind of sorrow! But the hopes of thousands of families must be found and rise from this sorrow!
When I saw Jiang Dong’s expressionless face, I knew she must be very unhappy. As his father, I really want to say: My daughter is not going to cram school, but! I can’t!
Not to mention that going to school is a must for every child, how can you gain knowledge if you don’t go to school? After a child who doesn’t go to school becomes useless, she will only gain short-term happiness. In the future, she will have most of the hardships in her life. She will wait for her because she has not studied hard.
Society has changed, and it is not as good as Jiang Xi. What's more, Jiang Xi just learned less compulsory education. In her past thirty years of life, she has been constantly learning new knowledge every day and applying it to real life anytime and anywhere.
In this world, not everyone can do this, and live their life so easily. Even Jiangdong and Jiangxi's daughter, I don't have the confidence to live as open and free as Jiangxi in the future.
So, I thought about it for a while, and said to Jiang Dong with a smile, "Daughter, mom and dad work hard to enroll you in various classes. I hope your grades can get better..."
The daughter lowered her head, her eyes were a little red, and she muttered in a low voice, "I have worked very hard, but my grades are not very good, a bit bad! Dad, do you think I am born stupid? Am I like my mother? I can't hear this, otherwise she might want to beat me up?"
I touched her head and said gently, "Every time my mother said she wanted to beat you, did she beat you?"
Jiang Dong looked at me and shook his head, "She couldn't bear to beat me up, she just scared me!"
"Yes! She loves you, right?"
"Yeah!" Jiang Dong nodded, "I know, my parents love me very much. Thinking of this, I feel quite happy!"
A smile gradually appeared on her originally low little face.
I continued to say to her in a gentle tone, "My mother and I are responsible for making money to enroll you in classes. Your responsibility is to study hard. However, daughter, parents will only watch you study hard because the child has poor self-control. When he was young, his parents needed to watch him. But parents won't force you to have good grades? Do you understand?"
Jiang Dong looked at me with big eyes, "Don't you understand very well, it means that I have poor grades, won't you criticize me?"
"The key point is that you study hard. If you study hard, your grades will not be too bad. If you study hard, even if you can't get one of the best exams, we won't blame you. But if you deliberately don't study hard, we will blame you, because children who don't study hard will easily become people who are not serious in the future. Such people will find it difficult to succeed in anything they want to do!"
"Oh! Dad, I understand a little bit, that is, I want to be a person who is serious about doing things and studying hard..."
"right……".
Before I could finish my words, she confirmed again with concern, "I've tried my best. Even if I don't get good grades, you and your mother won't criticize me, right?"
"Of course, in the eyes of our parents, you will be the best if you try your best!"
Jiang Dongdong finally showed a long-lasting innocent smile on his face.
"Dad! Thank you! My mood is getting better now!"
"You're welcome to my daughter!"
"But Dad! Can these things you said represent your mother's ideas? I'm a little worried that my mother's ideas are different from yours. What if my grades are not ideal and my mother scolds me?"
"Daughter, I will convince your mother!"
"But, you are not as good as your mother's eloquence. Nothing you said before seems to have convinced your mother. You are convinced by your mother."
I,"……".
"Daughter, you have to have confidence in me!"
"Dad, I don't have confidence in you!"
"I have a trick!"
"What trick?"
"I won't tell you this for now, just say, does your mother like me?"
To be continued...
