Chapter 448 But being a teacher is great
When the hot summer comes, the children rush towards their own future.
Tuanan was assigned to work at the Municipal Planning Bureau.
Hongbin was assigned to work at the Municipal Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
Zheyu was assigned to work at the Provincial Water Resources Department.
Xingyan entered the postgraduate study stage.
Xiaoting, Dongzhe and Pengfei completed the college entrance examination smoothly, and all three performed normally.
Xiaoting and Dongzhe had clear goals. After estimating their scores, they applied to Fudan University. Xiaoting applied for economics and Dongzhe applied for chemistry.
The parents sat together and held a meeting regarding Pengfei's aspirations.
Since I can’t get a bachelor’s degree from Pengfei, I’m choosing a suitable school among the technical colleges now.
Zhuang Hualin wanted him to go to a normal school.
Pengfei looked at Huang Ling eagerly.
Huang Ling understood and said, "Hua Lin, Pengfei doesn't want to be a teacher."
"But being a teacher is good! Pengfei, look at your uncle, he has winter and summer vacations..." Zhuang Hualin wanted to persuade him.
"Let's listen to what Pengfei says first." Huang Ling patted the birch forest.
Hualin could only shut up.
Pengfei wanted to speak but didn't dare to. He looked eagerly at Huang Ling. Huang Ling nodded at him. He then cleared his throat and said:
"I actually want to learn business, like commercial economics and marketing. I'm particularly interested in that. I want to run a big business like Aunt Huang in the future..."
Huang Ling immediately opened the notebook, found a page, and pushed it in front of Pengfei, saying, "Then choose one from these."
Pengfei was stunned.
Huang Ling already knew what he was thinking and had already planned it for him.
However, she also knew that Zhuang Hualin might object.
Sure enough, Zhuang Hualin immediately objected:
"Pengfei, why do you want to learn business? Look at your parents. Neither of them is cut out for business. You definitely aren't! Besides, the job you'll be assigned after college can't be in business..."
Halfway through her conversation, Xiangdong tugged at Zhuang Hualin and interrupted her: "Don't be impatient, speak slowly."
Zhuang Hualin then realized something was wrong and quickly apologized to Huang Ling:
"Sister Ling, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with doing business. I just think Pengfei isn't cut out for it. He's not as smart as you..."
Huang Ling smiled and shook her head:
"Don't say that. Pengfei is very smart. Look at Xiaoting and Dongzhe. We always listen to their opinions first. Xiaoting wants to develop in the financial industry in the future, and Dongzhe wants to open a daily chemical factory to research anti-aging cosmetics for me and his mother.
Pengfei is grown up now, it's normal for him to have his own ideas. He's eighteen, so don't treat him like a child. Think about when you were eighteen, you went to Guizhou, doing farm work and studying at the same time, right? If there is anything, you have to make your own decisions."
Zhuang Hualin frowned. It was indeed true, but at that time she wanted someone to help her make the decision, but there was no one.
Now, Pengfei is different, he has his own help to make the decision.
"Mom, but if I study at a normal school, I will definitely become a teacher, but I really don't want to be a teacher! I'm not suitable to be a teacher!" Pengfei wanted to fight for it.
"Aunt, I think you should study a major that you like. How can you learn well if you don't like it? My brother said that every semester's test scores are counted and used as an important indicator for job assignments. This means that if you want to be assigned to a good unit, you have to be at the top of the class every time. You said that Brother Pengfei doesn't even want to be a teacher, so how can he learn well?"
Xiaoting also helped to persuade him. She knew Pengfei very well and knew what he was thinking.
"Yes, yes, aunt, Xiaoting is right." Xiaoting could only nod in agreement after hearing Dongzhe's words.
Pengfei looked at his brother and sister with gratitude.
"Hua Lin, I think you should listen to the child! After all, a college graduate is also a cadre, as long as he is assigned a good job. I don't quite understand, Sister Ling, see if I am right. Pengfei just mentioned studying business or something, and I heard the word business. Is there a chance to be assigned to a unit like the Commercial Bureau?" Xiangdong asked.
"Xiangdong is right. There are many counterpart units, including the Commercial Bureau, Foreign Trade Bureau, material systems of various state-owned companies, department stores, food companies, import and export companies...even banks and credit unions are possible." Huang Ling was well prepared and spoke eloquently.
When Zhuang Hualin heard this, he seemed to relax a little.
Originally, she thought that being a teacher was indeed a good profession, as it was respected and had plenty of vacation time, and she did not consider Pengfei's preferences.
She thought that every child would listen to their parents' arrangements and had no plans for work. As long as they could be assigned, they would be fine. They would not have any preferences. However, she did not expect that after being with Huang Ling, due to Huang Ling's words and deeds and independent training, the children all had their own ideas, and they were usually accepted.
"You'll be doing your job for the rest of your life, so it's better to choose what you like. Besides, with Pengfei's current achievements, we have options, so there's no need to compromise," Huang Ling added.
Song Ying also attended the meeting, but she didn't say anything. Dongzhe signaled her with his eyes to try to persuade them, so she cleared her throat and said:
"The new college student in the cotton mill's planning department is studying this, and I've watched Pengfei grow up, and I don't think he's suited to being a teacher. He earned an average worker's monthly salary in just a few weekends with Lin Dongzhe. He has the talent.
Besides, being a teacher is tough! Not to mention Dongzhe's class teacher, he has high blood pressure, chronic pharyngitis, back problems, and shoulder strain. Oh, and lung disease, too, from all that chalk dust! He's got a lot of ailments, and this job is no match for sitting in an office.
Dongzhe looked at Song Ying approvingly. She is worthy of being the deputy director of the trade union! Every word she said hits the nail on the head.
The mother was most worried about her child's health. As expected, Zhuang Hualin immediately responded:
"That's right. Apart from high blood pressure, my brother also has all the other problems."
"Your brother is only in his forties. It's not time yet. Let him teach a few more senior classes and see how it goes. Also, look at your brother. He never rests and plays every day during any winter or summer vacation. He always has other things to do!" Song Ying said immediately.
Zhuang Hualin nodded thoughtfully.
"Just listen to your sister Ling! Every year, so many people ask her to help fill out their applications, but she's unwilling to do so because it takes a lot of brainpower, and her brain is worth a lot of money. And you still object." It was Zhu Xiu Yu who made the final conclusion.
Although she had experienced Hongbin filling out the application form, she had no idea at the time, so she just believed whatever Huang Ling said. In the past few years, she had been running the Suihualou business, and her horizons had broadened and she understood more things. She knew that Huang Ling's choice was the best for Pengfei, so she didn't say anything and just made this summary.
"It's okay, there's no rush. There's still time. You can go home and discuss it carefully. Pengfei, explain the school and major to your mother. I've written it all down in my notebook."
Huang Ling didn't want them to regret it. She knew that this was indeed the biggest thing for Zhuang Hualin.
The four of them went home together.
Along the way, Pengfei started explaining while holding the notebook given by Huang Ling.
The three elders listened attentively.
When I walked to the door of my house, I saw Zhuang Chaoying waiting there.
"Uncle." Pengfei called.
Zhuang Hualin came forward and said, "Brother, you're here. The scores are out. I was just thinking of giving you a call!"
"It looks like you did well in the exam." When Zhuang Chaoying saw Zhuang Hualin's expression, he knew that he must have done well and was very happy.
"Sister Ling said that the college line is definitely a good option." Zhuang Hualin said happily.
"You...just came back from her place?" Zhuang Chaoying asked.
"Yes! Sister Ling gave a lot of suggestions, and we are discussing it!" Zhuang Hualin said directly. She didn't know about the unpleasantness that Zhuang Chaoying had with Tuanan and Hongbin when they were filling out their applications.
But she saw Zhuang Chaoying look at Zhu Xiu Yu, and the expressions on both of their faces were unnatural.
