Chapter 85
"Xiaojun, you will be going to junior high school in September. Have you ever thought about studying seriously?"
"Second sister, what's the point of studying now? You can't even get into college. If you don't do well, you'll be criticized."
Xu Jun is twelve years old, which is the age when he is neither young nor young, and he has only a vague understanding of the society as a whole. I can see the surface, but I can't understand the inside.
The two siblings walked slowly. Xu Di wanted to persuade Xiaojun that studying was still useful.
"Xiaojun, although you can't take the college entrance examination now, you will be employed or join the army in the future. Being educated or not educated will make a difference."
"Second sister, I must finish high school and get a high school diploma."
"Xiaojun, having a high school diploma doesn't mean you have a high school education. With your current attitude towards learning, how much of the knowledge in junior high and high school can you master?"
Influenced by the current situation, most students nowadays just want to get a diploma and then find a job, take over a business, join the army, go to the countryside... There will always be a way to go.
“I, I…”
Xu Jun couldn't answer. He really didn't study hard.
There are students in their class who are good at studying. No matter what time it is, they just study hard.
“Xiaojun, if nothing else, you’ve always wanted to be a soldier.
But let me tell you, if you don’t have a solid cultural foundation, you will have no chance of development even if you join the army.
There are so many people in the army, what can you use to compete? In terms of hard work and perseverance, you are not as good as the rural soldiers. In terms of family background, you are not as good as those who came from military compounds. ”
Xu Di patiently analyzed it for him, and this is also the reality.
"Second sister, then I can't compare with the best, and I can't compare with the worst, right?"
Xu Jun was anxious. He didn't like studying at school, but he liked physical exercise and wanted to join the army after graduating from high school.
“Yes, the soldiers in the countryside are stronger than you physically, and the soldiers in the city have better background than you.
If you want to stand out, you must study hard and make yourself more educated than rural soldiers and more physically fit than urban soldiers. ”
Xu Di was trying really hard to trick Xu Jun into studying seriously.
In fact, the children of those military compounds have been participating in training since childhood and are also very capable.
While Xu Jun hasn't figured it out yet, he tricked him. When he graduated from high school, the college entrance examination would be resumed, so he had to try his best.
"Well, second sister, I think what you said makes sense. Then starting tomorrow, I will study hard."
“Why not start today?”
"Second sister, aren't I sending you home? Besides, this is my last playtime, I have to play well for a while, tomorrow I will lose my freedom."
Xu Jun's funny look amused Xu Di.
The brother and sister chatted and laughed and got off the bus.
"Hey, Chaoyang's wife is back. Is she your relative?"
"Aunt Yang, this is my brother. My mom brought me some things, but she was afraid I couldn't carry them, so she asked my brother to take me back."
Xu Di said hello and took Xu Jun upstairs.
"Grandma, I'm back."
"I'm back, are you tired?
Oh, Xiaojun is here! ”
"Hello, Grandma Qian. My mom asked me to send my sister back. These are the dried vegetables my grandma brought for me. Try them."
Xu Jun was talking to Grandma Qian with a smile on his face. He is quite good at talking.
"Come in quickly, stay in for a while, Grandma Qian will bring you something delicious."
"Grandma Qian, no need. I'm old enough and don't need snacks anymore."
Xu Jun was pulled by Grandma Qian to sit on the sofa, and Grandma Qian went to find something delicious.
Xu Di went back to his room to change clothes. It was a bit hot wearing a sweater and trousers in the house.
"Xiaojun, when you have nothing to do, come over and play. We have a small family, and it will be more lively with you."
"Grandma Qian, I will come here often in the future. I have already told my second sister that I will help him take care of the children in the future.
Grandma Qian, I'm not bragging. My eldest nephew is three years old now. When he was little, I changed his diapers.
Now, during the winter and summer vacations, my mother and sister-in-law go to work, and I am the one who takes care of Ping An at home. ”
Xu Jun is full of confidence that he will take care of the child.
"Xiaojun is so capable, he's such a good boy.
Come, have an apple. Here are some melon seeds and candies. Take whatever you want.
This is your second sister's house, don't be shy. ”
Grandma Qian kept asking Xu Jun to eat delicious food. This child is really adorable.
"Xiao Di, Xiao Jun is such a sensible kid. He even said he would help you take care of the kids in the future."
"Grandma, Xiaojun also told me about this. He said his second brother-in-law is defending the country and asked me not to worry. He will help me look after the children and protect me in the future. My brother may be small, but he is very strong."
When praised by his sister and Grandma Qian, Xu Jun felt a little embarrassed and his ears turned red.
"Eat more, Xiaojun, and grow taller. In the future, your nephews and nieces will still need your uncle's protection."
Grandma Qian happily gave food to Xu Jun and even invited him to stay for dinner.
"Grandma Qian, I won't stay for dinner. If I go home too late, my mom will be worried."
"It's only a few hours now. It's still early for dark."
"Grandma Qian, when I came here, I didn't tell her I wanted to stay for dinner. Next time, I'll tell my mom I want to eat here."
Xu Jun did not stay. He only left after Grandma Qian stuffed a bag of food into his mouth.
"Go slowly on your way home, go straight home, don't run off to play."
"I know, second sister, don't worry."
Grandma Qian was reluctant to let Xu Jun go.
"Oh, Xiaojun is so nice, he loves to talk and laugh, unlike Chaoyang, who has been serious since he was a child and doesn't like to laugh."
"Maybe I was a little scared because I was suddenly away from my parents. But after a while, I got used to it."
"That's right. At that time, I had to work and Chaoyang was in the nursery. After he came back, it was just the two of us.
I was busy cleaning the house, doing laundry and cooking, and I really didn't have much time to spend with him.
In fact, it’s not that I don’t have time at all, but I’m just used to raising children in that way.
When Chaoyang's father was young, I was strict rather than kind, and everything I did was just for the purpose of staying alive.
Later, when I came to Chaoyang, I felt that I was not very good at raising children. Xiaodi, tell me, after the baby is born, will I still be like this and unable to raise him? ”
Grandma Qian was a little worried. She felt that she had not been very successful in raising her son and grandson, two generations.
"Grandma, you think too much.
Dad was in a special situation at that time. He didn't even know whether he would be alive the next day, so how could he care about so many things?
The main reason for Chaoyang's childhood was that he suddenly left his parents.
Your generation has suffered a lot, and we should be grateful.
Moreover, you have taken such good care of Chaoyang. He is responsible and not too chauvinistic. He is tall and big, and except for not liking to smile, he is very good in other aspects.
As a human being, there must always be some shortcomings. Otherwise, if you are too outstanding, you will be envied. ”
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Grandma was so amused by Xu Di that she couldn't stop laughing.
"Xiao Di, you are really good at comforting people. When you said that, grandma instantly felt that she was great and not just an ordinary person."
"Grandma is not an ordinary person. She is from Class 2."
"Ha ha……"
Two people, sitting on the sofa, laughing happily.
Maybe because she is old, or maybe because she cares too much, grandma is very nervous about the upcoming baby, takes it very seriously, and is a little worried.
