Old Li listened to the advice and after arranging Li Yu's transfer to another school, he rented a small apartment in the community to live in temporarily and began to renovate his own house.
Since he couldn't find a job and had some savings, Lao Li bought the tools and materials himself and did it slowly.
After all these years of hard work, he is very familiar with every step of the decoration process and does it very skillfully without relying on others.
It took more than half a year before the house was renovated and ready to move in, and Li Yu had already entered the third year of junior high school.
Mr. Li doesn't have high expectations of him, and he won't force him to do things he doesn't like, nor will he enroll him in extra tutoring classes against his wishes.
It is entirely up to him to decide what his grades are. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Li Yu fails the exam, Old Li can still praise him with his eyes closed: "My son is awesome! How can this be considered a failure? This is a sign of a lot of room for improvement!"
It can only be said that Li Yu was forced by his father's high-pressure policy before, and studying has become an inertia, as if it has been integrated into his body. Under his father's indulgent education, he still maintained the proper level and was admitted back to the high school department of the city's No. 1 Middle School.
During this year, Lao Li also made several new friends and formed his own engineering team.
He returned to being the optimist he used to be. He had a very open-minded attitude towards life and did not have any high demands. He just wanted to have enough food and clothing and a little surplus to give to his elderly parents at home.
Then he would take this group of like-minded brothers to the furniture store to wait for work.
It would be better to say that they were waiting for work to come to them. Even if work came to them, he and his brothers would still have to consider whether they could take it, whether they should take it, or whether they wanted to take it.
The days passed quickly in leisure, and in the blink of an eye, Li Yu's college entrance examination was over.
Mr. Li is following the trend and wants to give his child a graduation trip.
The day after the exam, the father and son boarded the train with their bags on their backs. In half a month, they visited all the scenic spots, mountains and rivers in the southern Anhui Province.
In the last few days, they went to Suzhou City, and Li Yu immediately fell in love with the private gardens there.
I went in when the door opened in the morning and came out when it closed in the evening. I was still not satisfied, so I went again the next day.
Li Yu took the new phone his father bought for him, searched for a long time, and then handed it to his father: "Dad, I want to learn this!"
Old Li looked down and saw a few bold words on the page: "Landscape Architecture? A major in college?"
"Yeah!" Li Yuwawa's face was filled with longing. He told Lao Li on the phone about the information related to the major he had just learned.
Of course, Mr. Li supports his son's choice 100%.
At that time, there were still two days before the college entrance examination results were released. The father and son sat together in the Hefeng Pavilion and checked the relevant colleges and universities that offered this major. They also conducted a preliminary screening based on the results of previous mock exams and the score lines of the colleges and universities in previous years.
Li Yu's favorite university is in Suzhou, but when the scores came out, they were lower than expected.
Finally, I was admitted to the architectural university in this province.
Mr. Li has always remembered his son's disappointed expression. He was just short of that score. If he had been demanding of his son's grades during the three years of high school and urged him from time to time, would his son have achieved his wish now? But it doesn't matter, Mr. Li thought. If he fails to get an undergraduate degree, he can still get a master's degree.
To this end, he went out of his way to look up information and learn about the postgraduate entrance examination and enrollment situation of other domestic colleges and universities, with a focus on those in Suzhou, in addition to the prospects of this major.
When he was asked by his friends to go out for a drink, he still had printed materials with him and took notes while others were chatting.
The brothers came over to look, some of them didn't understand: "Brother, what are you reading?"
Those who know the situation said: "It's Xiaoyu University's major, I'm studying it now!"
"Not really," another person pointed at the key words and read, "Graduate student, application, acceptance rate, brother, Xiaoyu hasn't even started college yet, and you're already thinking about him taking the postgraduate entrance exam?"
"What do you know? The news says every day that academic qualifications are devalued. What am I doing... what do you call it? I'm preparing for a rainy day!"
"So, studying for a master's degree in China is meaningless. It's better to study abroad to get some experience. When you come back, you're called a 'returnee'. Look at those people. They're so popular when they're looking for jobs."
As soon as this joke was uttered, people immediately mocked it: "You haven't even graduated from high school, and you still have the nerve to say that graduate school is boring? If you have the ability, go and take the exam and see."
"I didn't say that. I just saw it while watching a video..."
Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, Lao Li took it to heart. After thinking about it, he held his mobile phone all day long.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that I had to go abroad! It seemed that no matter what I studied, if I went abroad to get some experience, I would have a better future after I came back.
He then took the time to consult with a study abroad agency to find out which schools are good and how much it would cost to go to different countries.
He did not listen to the one-sided story of one agency and visited several more agencies. After returning home, he used his son's computer to learn how to check online, and then came up with a "target amount" based on the standards for studying abroad in Europe and the United States.
In the next three years, he had only one task, which was to take on more big projects from Tao Huayu and save money! Tao Huayu was not a worthy person. Lao Li did not tell anyone about his plan and was vague when he asked him for help. But after that, whenever Tao Huayu had a money-making project, he would come to him first.
Finally, after saving enough money, Lao Li couldn't help but reveal his purpose to Tao Huayu at the dinner table.
Old Li's original plan was that he was afraid that Li Yu, with his personality, would not be able to take care of himself in a foreign country and would suffer, so he planned to go and accompany him. He also signed up for online courses to learn English secretly, and he studied so hard that he felt dizzy.
But since he met Liu Wangxue and others, Old Li could see a pleasing change in his son almost every time he saw him. Especially after he followed Wenxi to be a tour guide for a foreigner, he almost didn't recognize him when he came back.
He thought to himself, a grown man, how could he use the excuse of going to the kitchen to cook? His eyes secretly became wet.
And now, his son has received an invitation from a foreign brand to be a special designer.
Lao Li thought this was a great thing. It was a good opportunity for him to exercise in advance and also to adapt to life abroad in advance.
If there is no problem and he can handle it completely, then he doesn't need to accompany his parents to study. Most importantly, he doesn't need to learn English anymore! What a bird language, learning it makes him feel uncomfortable! "Xiaoyu, don't say anything else," Lao Li put some food in his bowl and told him to eat quickly, "You must not give up this job opportunity, you must grasp it.
My dad has inquired about it. Admission to foreign universities does not require exams but applications. It is best to have some letters of recommendation when applying.
This brand is so famous and reputable. If you do a good job in this job, and then ask the leaders there to write you a letter of recommendation, wouldn't it be much easier for you to apply for a graduate degree at a foreign university?"
Small fish profession
I didn’t check when I first wrote it, but today I learned that Landscape Architecture is the internationally accepted academic term.
This major has not been offered for a long time in our country. Different places have different translation methods, such as "landscape design", "landscape architecture", "landscape gardening", etc.
In 2011, our country decided to name this subject as "Landscape Architecture" (first-level subject) , so I changed the previous ones and corrected them.
