Chapter 252: Mountaineering (2)
This time, there was a warm fire in front of him.
Sitting beside him was his parents and sister, mother looked worried, while father was full of serious face.
After a moment, my father spoke:
"If you want to take the college entrance examination, I won't stop you, but you also need to know that family is in trouble now."
"Your mother and I are in poor health, and your sister is not married yet, so we still rely on us to support her. So even if you pass the exam, we really don't have the money to support you in the big city to study in college."
"You can only rely on yourself, do you know? The city is not like our countryside, and it is not easy to get a bite. I heard that the children of the Wang family were unable to stay in the city after they passed the exam, and this year they came back to farm."
"We all support you if you want to study and contribute to the country, but you also have to see that we can't afford this power!"
The moment his father finished his words, a huge flow of information suddenly surged into Ye Zhou's mind.
This time the information flow is different from the past. It is not only information, but also extremely complex emotions.
Fear, hesitation, fear of difficulties, inferiority, cowardice
These emotions were extremely real in Ye Zhou's mind. At this moment, he truly felt the emotional fluctuations that made him shaken - even though he knew that he was in the simulation, he was unable to resist this fluctuation.
Yes, my father has to be right.
I am just an ordinary child from a rural background. Even if I have some talent in studying, so what? Can I pass the college entrance examination and get into the college entrance examination?
Our competitors are not just these children in the countryside, but all candidates from all over the country!
They are different from themselves. They have lived in much better living conditions since childhood than themselves. They have never tire of reading the textbooks countless times. They are just an introductory book for them and have not understood the problem they have not understood after thinking about it. It is as simple as usual for them.
Why do you think that you can be stronger than them?
Impossible.
To take a step back, even if I really have a great fortune and have achieved a good grade in the college entrance examination that I just recovered, and was admitted to the college entrance examination, what should I do next?
Go? What money should I use? Do I exchange the harvest of my parents’ hard farming at home for money and then let them starve?
No, not just that.
Even if the state bears the expenses, it is said that Dali has to pay at least 30 kilograms of grain every month, and their family cannot make up these 30 kilograms of grain.
If I go, will I really starve to death in the city?
Will it?
A city with no relatives, no support, bizarre and indifferent.
I have never been to a city that I have never really learned about its true appearance.
Perhaps, giving up is the best choice.
Perhaps, I should stay in the small mountain village honestly and farm with my parents, and my life will probably get better and better in the future?
Such thoughts emerge one after another, and Ye Zhou was almost losing his position and said, "I won't go."
But at a moment, a thunder suddenly flashed through his mind.
He had no choice but to go, this was his only chance.
The choice he wants to make is definitely not just as simple as affecting the fate of a family.
At this moment, or at that moment in history, the decisions he made will greatly affect the entire Huaxia's progress in the field of quantum computing.
Although from this point of view, he has not yet figured out how the impact occurred.
"I have to go!"
Ye Zhou replied firmly.
My father sighed deeply and continued to speak:
"Then go. I know that you won't be willing to go and try it out, but you have to remember that if you really can't survive, come back, and we still want you to support you!"
Ye Zhou nodded silently.
He didn't know the experience of the identity master he was imitating, so he didn't have the confidence to make a bold statement like "I will definitely make a name for myself."
My mother had nothing to say, but just stood up and packed her luggage for Ye Zhou.
"Mom, I'll do it."
Ye Zhou spoke with some difficulty.
At this time, his mind was still constantly impacted by complex emotions, concerns about his parents, responsibilities to his family, and attachment to his hometown.
These emotions were intertwined, and even though he had made a decision, the decision was not firm.
Perhaps just a small disturbance will make his emotions collapse again.
And this disturbance came very timely.
The door of the room was knocked, and the only mountain village teacher in the village came in.
"Teacher Li, you're here to sit down."
Ye Zhou looked at the man wearing glasses, and the other party also happened to look at him.
After a moment, he spoke:
"Ye Zhou, I know you want to take the college entrance examination and want an opportunity to make a name for yourself, but I also have one such opportunity."
"The county art troupe is expanding its enrollment. They need calligraphy teachers, mainly to participate in activities in the Youth Palace and teach children in the Youth Palace to write."
"The salary is very high - several times higher than what I am now, and it is a very respectable job, and you can reach a lot of people through those kids."
"Your handwriting is very good, I think I should try it."
"Do you understand what I mean? You don't have to rely on studying to make a name for yourself."
Hearing this, Ye Zhou was stunned.
He knew that Teacher Li was right.
Not only because of his memory in the simulation, but also because of his foresight looking back from history decades later.
In this era, a young man with culture and calligraphy, as long as he approaches the art troupe, almost nothing can be developed well.
What you don’t need to contact with is the children in the Youth Palace. What family backgrounds do these children who can enter the Youth Palace have? You don’t need to know.
This is indeed an opportunity, and a great opportunity.
If this path really develops, is it important whether to read or not?
On the one hand, we have to go to a foreign land and struggle to survive in a strange city; on the other hand, we can get a salary immediately to subsidize our household income, and there are also excellent development opportunities.
I'm afraid that for any rational person, he will know which side to choose.
However, Ye Zhou is not a truly rational person.
He is an idealist.
He wants to do bigger things, to achieve greater results, to be a scientist, to do research, and to completely change this country and the world.
The only question is, can you do it yourself?
Contradictory and chaotic thoughts intertwined in Ye Zhou's mind, and gradually, an illusion seemed to appear in front of him.
What he saw was no longer this cramped hut, but in his childhood, he had climbed the mountain covered with ice and snow.
However, the mountain now is composed of all negative thoughts, all obstructions, and all desires for utilitarian pursuits.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a stable and peaceful life, and it is likely to be rich.
Behind the mountain is the wider and more profound world he pursues.
His ideal is behind the mountain.
But if he wants to realize this ideal, he must first climb over the mountain in his heart.
Want to climb a mountain.
Ye Zhou hugged his head, and at this moment what he felt was 100% real pain.
The pain caused by choice.
He is climbing a mountain.
He was climbing extremely slowly and extremely difficult.
The obstacles on this mountain were eliminated by him one by one with absolutely rational thinking, and what supported his will was a kind of emotional idealism.
Responsibility to the family? This does not conflict with one's own pursuit. Even after achieving something, he can take this responsibility better.
Being attached to your hometown? People always have to grow up and always have to wander.
Fear of strange cities? He asked himself, even if he sacrifices his life for his ideals, why should he be afraid of a city?
Another choice? No, that has never been his choice, he has never been willing to accept it.
After a long time, Ye Zhou finally raised his head.
His eyes were extremely bright.
"I'm going to the college entrance examination, I'm going to count, I'm going to physics, I'm going to do research."
"I want to change this country, and then let our country change this world."
"Dad and Mom, I just can't be filial at this time, not that I can't be filial forever."
"Your son is an eagle, and the eagle is destined to fly over the snow-capped mountains. Now, the mountain is here."
Looking at the complicated eyes of everyone opposite, Ye Zhou felt relieved.
He climbed this mountain.
