Chapter 1155: Breaking the Shackles
"Dad, why don't we go back?" A boy of fifteen or sixteen lowered his head, reluctantly being pulled by the arm by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was in his fifties at first glance, but he was in his forties on closer inspection. He was wearing old clothes, but they were well washed. Regarding his son's retreat, he exerted a little more strength in his hands, "There is nothing to be afraid of being ashamed now, as long as you don't be ashamed in the future. Otherwise, you will be like your father and me, and be ashamed for the rest of your life."
The father and son stood in a queue and moved slowly, waiting to see the staff at the front. The honest middle-aged man showed the most humble smile and said, "I heard that this school has free admission places...."
People in front and behind the line looked at the father and son with strange eyes, and the staff impatiently pulled out a registration form without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "Fill in the information and go to the room on the left to take the test. But don't hold back." Too much hope, only those with high IQs will be admitted for free."
"Thank you, thank you." The middle-aged man thanked him repeatedly, filled out the registration form and went to take the test.
Before the father and son could walk away, sarcastic remarks spread from the surroundings.
"Another wishful thinking, are there so many people with high IQ these days?"
"It doesn't look like a smart person to see that child shrinking his head, and his father has no possibility of that inheritance."
"If that kid has a high IQ, then why do we spend money to buy a house and get a degree? Some people just can't see the reality clearly."
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy's head drooped even more after being stimulated by these words, and he almost turned around and ran away. But he was still pulled closer to the test room by his father. The people queuing up must keep the discussion heated, and some people laughed in a low voice: "Maybe other people's children can succeed? High IQ and no label."
However, less than half an hour later, both father and son walked out dejectedly like eggplants beaten by frost. Followed by a foreigner who comforted them, he said in half-baked Chinese: "Don't be discouraged, you still have other ways to work hard."
It’s okay not to mention this comfort, but it’s as uncomfortable as a needle prick in the heart. The heavy footsteps of the father and son were like pouring lead, and when they left, they had to accept all kinds of whispered jokes and mocking eyes from other people in the queue.
"Dad, you are really good. I said a long time ago that I am not a high IQ, but you still insist on pulling me here. If I can't get into this school, I won't go to it. I can study hard when I go back." The boy is still low. With his head down, his face was hot, and he couldn't stand the excitement and even started to blame his father.
"I know what kind of crappy school you are in now. I don't want you to go to the society after a few years without learning anything. You can't spend your whole life. I hope you can go to a university.
Have a decent job and marry a good wife. "
After a few words, the father and son lost energy to continue speaking. The only way for the bottom of society to break out of their own shackles is to provide a child to study. But now the competition for studying is also fierce, and it is difficult to even study without good economic conditions.
Breaking away from the crowd, the father and son walked back along the road with their heads drooping. They really didn't know what to do? Even if you try hard, you can't find the direction to work hard. This is where the despair at the bottom lies.
Just as the father and son were about to catch the bus home, suddenly a signboard at a construction site on the side of the road attracted the attention of a middle-aged man. He hurriedly asked the person behind the sign, and after a while, he happily yelled at his son.
"Son, Dad, I have found a job. The basic salary is more than 3,000, and overtime pay is not included. 'Radiation Trade' established a real estate subsidiary company and wanted to build its own construction team. I told the recruiters that I could do everything, and they let me Be a foreman."
Facing his father's ecstasy, the boy also smirked in a daze. But the middle-aged man quickly gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back, and we will also buy a house to enter the school."
The boy immediately asked, "Dad, where do we get the money to buy a house?"
"There are more than 40,000 yuan at home, and I borrowed 20,000 yuan from your uncle, which should be enough for the down payment." The middle-aged man obviously took out all his family assets.
"But isn't that money going to treat my mother?" The boy said weakly.
The tone of the middle-aged man also sank, but he still said firmly: "I'll go home and tell your mother that her treatment is going slowly. I believe your mother will agree.
The people in the construction team also told me that as long as I work hard and do well, I might earn six to seven thousand or even tens of thousands a month. It is now said that 'Wasteland Trading' is a good company, their boss is generous and never treats people badly. "
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes in an instant, and the middle-aged man reached out to pat his son's back and only said lightly, "Don't cry, you will be laughed at." The father and son once again held each other's hands and walked towards the school. This time, the father and son came back with their heads held high, which also attracted everyone's attention.
The middle-aged man returned to the workbench where the admission application was processed, and the staff member who had just seen them said impatiently: "There is only one application for free admission, so how can you make trouble repeatedly?"
But this time the middle-aged man straightened his chest, and said in a neutral manner: "Please give me an application form for buying a house and enrolling in school. We are willing to pay for our children to enter the school."
Behind the middle-aged man, the boy no longer lowered his head. It's just that his neck is a little stiff, but he maintains a high-spirited posture.
Applying for admission is a one-stop service. In addition to schools, real estate, and bank staff who are responsible for mortgage loans.
The middle-aged man handed over his family status, savings status, annual income status and the construction team work certificate he had just applied for, and a young girl was in charge of reviewing them.
"Uncle, you are on the right track." The young girl smiled slightly.
"What? What's the right way?" The middle-aged man didn't know why.
"Go to the construction team to find a job. Not many people know about it now. You have seized the opportunity. Our bank is willing to give loans to the employees of the 'Wasteland Trade', and the interest can be discounted. Because their income is high and stable, I have done several today, and the supervisor passed them all at once.”
The young girl's words made the middle-aged man smile with joy, just like picking up a treasure while walking. The girl continued: "It's the right way to try to send children to Radiation Middle School. Don't look at the fact that many people are scolding, but this school is really good.
I don't know how the teachers in this school teach? My cousin didn't like reading in the past. But only two months after entering, his academic performance has risen sharply, and his body has become much stronger. His mother is now posting photos of her son in Moments every day, she is very proud. "
What the girl said made the middle-aged man laugh even more from ear to ear. But when he finished laughing, he turned around and slapped his son on the head. His loving father disappeared immediately, and he said with a straight face, "You have to study hard when you enter school. If your grades are not good, I won't slap you to death."
When the young girl heard this, she immediately smiled slyly at the young man, and said, "Study hard!"
Looking at the beautiful face of the big sister in front of him, the boy's face turned red from laughing, and his heart beat several times. He thought to himself: If you can marry such a beautiful sister by studying, you really need to study hard.
