"you say."
"My little Meili has never liked studying since she was young. She only likes singing and dancing. So I sent her to learn dancing when she was five years old. But she can't dance for the rest of her life. At least she has to go to a technical secondary school so that she can find a job after graduation..."
Xiao Xiaocui sighed.
"But that girl has trouble even going to middle school. We even found a teacher to give her extra lessons, but it still doesn't help her improve her grades. She can't learn anything! Aunt, I just want to ask, I heard there are special dance academies, or universities, is there a future in such a university?"
"What do you mean by future? Can she find a good job? Make a name for herself? It's very difficult to learn dance and become a professional. Only a few people can succeed. To be specific, it depends on the child's talent. I'm not a professional, so I can't give you too much advice...
But I'm telling you the truth, since you can make money and provide for your children, why not let her try the path she likes? No matter how hard this path is, her passion can offset many of the difficulties. "
Xiao Xiaocui listened thoughtfully.
Si Xian asked, "Sister Xiao Cui, what kind of dance did Meili learn?"
Xiao Xiaocui replied: "I started out learning some kind of folk dance, and later switched to ballet."
Sixian: "No matter what kind of dance it is, the teacher is the key to artistic things. If Meili wants to go down this path, you have to plan well for her."
Xiao Xiaocui nodded, "I understand, I'll think about it..."
There were three tables for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and luckily our house was big enough to accommodate three tables.
Xiao Mancang sat at the very top, with Xiao Zheng and Xiao Tiechui beside him. The children took turns to toast Xiao Mancang and say auspicious words.
Of course, Xiao Mancang can't smoke or drink now, so the cup is filled with tea.
Fireworks were blooming outside, the TV was broadcasting the joyous Spring Festival Gala, and I was surrounded by my children and grandchildren.
Xiao Mancang had an unforgettable year.
After the Chinese New Year, Xiao Mancang no longer wanted to stay and insisted on leaving.
He pulled Xiao Zheng aside and said, "Tiezhu, I have not achieved much in my life, but I am lucky to have a good son like you. Although you have not been by my side these years, I have enjoyed all your blessings.
In my hometown, no matter where I go, people look up to me. No matter who holds a banquet, they always invite me to sit at the head of the table. In the old days, only the gentry could enjoy this treatment! And your second brother and his wife take such good care of me, isn’t it also for your sake…”
Although Xiao Tiechui is stronger than Xiao Tieniu, if he had not pleased Xiao Zheng, he would at most be like most other sons in the village, providing his father with food and treating his father's illness to the best of his ability. How could he treat Xiao Mancang like an old man and serve him so carefully like he does now?
Xiao Mancang was very clear about this.
"Son..." Xiao Mancang's cloudy eyes were filled with tears, "Dad has lived to this point in his life, I am content."
"Dad?" Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Mancang blankly.
Xiao Mancang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You are so old now and you already have a granddaughter. I won't nag you about anything. I just hope you can take care of your health, don't overwork, and don't get sick."
......
Xiao Mancang left.
Xiao Zheng sat there with his head down, and after a long while he spoke, "Wife, I think Dad may know that he is seriously ill."
An Hua was surprised for a moment and asked, "Do you have any basis for this?"
He shook his head, "Feeling."
Xiao Zheng stretched out his hand, put his arm around his wife's waist, and let out a long sigh.
Since then, Xiao Zheng has paid more attention to the situation in his hometown.
Fortunately, Xiao Mancang didn’t know whether it was because of his good mentality or the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, but he dragged his cancer-stricken body and actually passed the age of 80.
