After listening to this, Gu Qi's eyes fell on the eldest sister.
"Ah Xuan, do you want to study at the Teachers' College?"
Gu Xuan didn't even raise his head and ate his meal slowly: "I don't want to."
Chen Xingling and Gu Qi looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to speak anymore.
Li Ying felt a little unwilling and said, "The policy is relaxed this year, and I don't know what will happen in the future. The teachers all say that the Normal College is good. If I miss it, there will be no such opportunity in the future. I can't have it even if I want it now. What should I do?"
The youngest son also wanted to go to university, but after a few years in the countryside, his knowledge was wasted and he could never pick it up again.
The teacher said that when it comes to studying, you have to do it in one go and start studying once you pass the exam. After all, the current policies are still very confusing, and you are lucky to find a loophole to exploit.
Gu Miao rolled her eyes and muttered, "It's better to have a place to study than not to have one, right? Besides, normal school students don't have to pay much tuition, and they can even get subsidies."
"Yes, yes!" Li Ying agreed, "The tuition fee is not that high, and you can save a lot of money in a few years. You also get meal tickets and living allowances every day, which are also money."
It is not Li Ying's style to not take advantage of an opportunity. Moreover, this opportunity is not a small one, but a big one.
Unexpectedly, the other four had no interface.
Li Ying glared at her youngest son and whispered, "This is a good opportunity, why don't you try to persuade your sister?"
Gu Yi felt quite helpless and smiled bitterly: "Mom, you think so, but Ah Xuan doesn't think so. She is the one who is reading, not me. What's the point of my approval? Ah Xuan has to like it herself!"
Zhao Xiaoxing ate her meal quickly, suppressing her sense of existence to the lowest level.
Her mother-in-law already disliked her, and if she started to argue with the old lady, she would probably be scolded.
Gu Qi nodded in agreement: "That's true. If Xuan doesn't like it, it's not good to force her."
Li Ying secretly felt unwilling and glanced at her eldest daughter.
"You really don't like it? Wait! Xuan, do you know what a teachers' college is? Why don't you want it? What do you want?"
Gu Xuan shook his head: "It's not a normal college anyway."
"What's wrong with being a teacher?" Gu Miao glared at her sister and said, "It's good to have a job, be respected, and scold students!"
Gu Xuan said calmly: "If you think it's good, you can take the exam later. Anyway, I don't want it."
Gu Miao stopped talking awkwardly.
Li Ying gnawed on the chicken and sighed in a pretentious manner.
"This is a big family, old and young, with not many people making money, but many people who need to spend money. College is so expensive, but none of them know how to save money for the family, nor do they understand how hard it is for a man to make money outside."
Chen Xingling immediately understood the sarcasm in her words and looked at Li Ying with open eyes.
"Mom, I insisted on going to college. I can pay for my tuition myself. There's no need to spend the family's money."
Li Ying looked at her with disdain and asked, "Where did you get your money? Did Aqi give you the rest of his salary? Is it your money if he gave it to you?"
In her opinion, the money her son earns belongs to the family and it is not her daughter-in-law's turn to hoard it or spend it.
It was fine like this before, but now that she, the mother-in-law, is here, she has to make the decision.
"Mom!" Gu Qi said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Xingling stared at her mother-in-law and said confidently, "I earned all my money myself, and part of it was given by my parents. I'll give most of Aqi's salary to you to take care of my family, and keep the rest with him. If you don't believe me, ask him!"
Gu Qi said in a deep voice: "Mom, isn't it normal for my wife to spend my money? If you weren't always like this, Xing'er wouldn't have to be afraid to spend my money."
Li Ying didn't dare to look at her eldest son's cold eyes, and seeing Chen Xingling's frank look that "did not tolerate any objection", she stopped talking awkwardly.
"I... am I not advising Ah Xuan to think more about the family? I am not talking about Hu Zi's mother, please don't misunderstand me. I am saving some money for this family, isn't it?"
Gu Xuan slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks, his expressionless face was expressionless.
"If there is not enough money at home and you want me to go to school, then I will go to school."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Ying showed a happy expression, as if she saw a ray of hope.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you dislike the teacher training major? If you don't like it, there's no need to force yourself. Your family will not be short of money to pay for your tuition."
He now has an extra special allowance from the province, which gives him more than a dozen yuan a month.
Even without the help of his younger brother, it should not be a problem to support his two younger sisters in their studies.
Chen Xingling agreed, "That's right. Once you make a choice, it could be a lifelong thing. Unless it's a major you really like, don't make an impulsive choice. Your big brother and big brother can support you, so you don't have no choice."
Jia Shuanghua chose to major in education because her education background was not high, and her mother and her cousin fiance all hoped that she could become a teacher in the future.
Ma Dali chose this major mainly because the tuition was not high and he could receive some allowance every month to support his life. His family was extremely poor and he had two younger sisters who needed to go to school, so tuition and living expenses became the biggest problem for the family.
To be honest, Ma Dali had no choice but to do this.
But Gu Xuan's situation was different, her family was relatively well-off, far from that level. Gu Qi and Gu Yi were more than enough to support her, so there was no need for her to choose a major she didn't like.
Gu Yi licked the corner of his mouth and asked with concern: "Ah Xuan, what do you think you like? You must have a clearer goal, right? You can't just study for the sake of studying, you should set a goal for yourself."
Gu Xuan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Li Ying was a little anxious and whispered, "You don't know yourself, right? Then why not try the teaching profession? It's good for girls to be teachers, it's stable, right?"
"I don't like it." Gu Xuanyi answered immediately: "I don't know about other things, but I really don't like being a teacher."
Gu Qi nodded gently: "Ah Xuan is not suitable to be a teacher."
My sister has been cold and quiet since she was young.
When she was a child, many people thought she was dumb because she could stay silent all day long. She was so well-behaved that many people thought she had a mental problem.
Even if you don’t have to be eloquent as a teacher, basic expression and communication skills are still necessary. Otherwise, how can you teach and communicate with students!
People who are good at talking can communicate well with others even if they don't have to be very knowledgeable.
But for someone like my eldest sister, even if she is well-educated and has brilliant literary talent, it is impossible for her to stand on the podium and give lectures confidently, because she is born not to do that.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Li Ying still didn't want to give up. After all, money was a big deal, so she couldn't give up easily. "If it doesn't fit, I can change it, right?"
Gu Xuan remained silent.
Chen Xingling couldn't stand it any longer and said, "You must be very careful when choosing a major. Studying a certain major means that your future career is closely related to this major. Being a teacher is a lifelong job, and you can't change it at any time. Unless you really like it, don't try it. When the position is fixed, you don't have the futile idea of whether to do it or not, and you will be in a dilemma. It's better to determine what you want as soon as possible and move in the direction you like. For many people, work is a lifelong event, more important than life events, so you must be cautious and cautious."
"Yeah." Gu Qi glanced at his wife approvingly and said softly, "Your sister-in-law is right. If you don't really like something you want to do for the rest of your life, it's hard to stick with it. If you really don't like it, there's no need to try."
"I understand." Gu Xuan nodded gently: "I... I like the kind of job where I can work quietly by myself."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then began to think hard.
It's no surprise that she likes this kind of work.
But where to find such a job?
Gu Miao secretly suppressed a smile: "Alone? And need to be quiet? What kind of job is that?"
Li Ying frowned: "Where can you find such a job? Is it possible?"
"Maybe." Chen Xingling explained: "Some research-type jobs are similar. Repeat your studies first, and then choose your major later."
Gu Xuan nodded.
