Zheng Jing scored 80% in English in the final exam, and then said he wanted to go to Hong Kong City to play. Seeing that his English score had improved, Zheng Jing didn't want him to go out to play. She said that he would be in the third grade of junior high school next semester and shouldn't always think about playing.
All the energy is focused on studies.
Hearing her words, Zheng Jing was very angry: "You promised before that you would let me go to Hong Kong City to play when I am 80% in the final exam. Are you keeping your promise?"
Sister-in-law Zheng said: "I am doing this for your own good. When you are admitted to college, you can go wherever you want to go. Your dad and I will prepare the travel expenses for you."
Zheng Jing was so angry that he went upstairs, but he was unwilling to give in. After thinking about it, he called Zheng Yuhao.
"You scored 80% on your English test? If you didn't lie to me, I would definitely take you to Hong Kong City."
"But my mother wouldn't let me."
Zheng Yuhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to your mother and she will agree. But it's not enough to improve your English scores alone. You also need to improve your scores in other subjects, so that you can go to key high schools and later enter key universities."
"
Zheng Jing said that she would try to get admitted to university, but would not dare to go to major universities.
Zheng Yuhao didn't want to put too much pressure on him: "You can choose one that you think you can get into college. You have goals and motivation. Of course, it's still early. You will only be in your third year of junior high school next semester. It's not too late to consider it when you are in high school.
"
"I know how to do it, uncle."
Zheng Yuhao called Sister Zheng and told her about going to Hong Kong City: "Sister-in-law, you must honor your promise to the children, otherwise they will not believe us in the future."
Sister-in-law Zheng said that Zheng Jing's Chinese and mathematics are relatively weak, and she wanted to ask the teacher to make up for him during the holidays: "Yu Hao, he will be in the third grade of junior high school in the second half of the year. He should focus all his energy on learning instead of always thinking about
Go play.”
Zheng Yuhao said unhappily: "Sister-in-law, what is the most important thing for us to do business is integrity. We all go back on our word in front of our children and have no integrity. How do you want them to treat others with integrity in the future?"
After a pause, he continued: "If Zheng Jing fails to enter college, he can still go back and inherit the family restaurant in the future. But if there is a problem with his character and he doesn't keep his word, no one will dare to be friends with him. Come back and take over the family restaurant.
Business, business will be bad."
Sister-in-law Zheng was speechless, and after a while she said, "Okay, I'll buy them tickets later."
Zheng Yuhao also said that he would make arrangements as soon as possible and then ask Zheng Jing to go back and make up classes. After this incident, he was not willing to take over the whole thing again, as it was not a good idea to save money and effort.
Zheng Jing and Ning Xuan both met Zheng Yuhao's requirements, but Pearl did not, so they only took the two brothers to Hong Kong City. Zheng Jing went home after playing in Hong Kong City, while Ning Xuan stayed in Yangcheng.
Brother Zheng was very surprised when he saw his son coming back: "Why don't you stay in Yangcheng?"
Zheng Jing said she didn't know and went upstairs.
Brother Zheng immediately called Zheng Yuhao and asked him why he sent his child back last year when he said he would stay in Yangcheng for tutoring.
Zheng Yuhao said: "Sister-in-law is worried. I can't bear the responsibility if the child learns badly. Brother, if Shitou cries, I have to comfort him."
Brother Zheng couldn't help but frown when he heard the beeping sound coming from the other side. When he went back in the evening, he asked Sister Zheng: "What did you tell the fourth child? The fourth brother didn't even dare to leave Dabao there to review."
Sister-in-law Zheng said: "Last year, several children were in Yangcheng, and I heard from my mother that Yu Hao always took them out to play. He will take the high school entrance examination next year, and I don't want him to waste time playing."
Brother Zheng was almost furious and scolded: "Is your brain flooded? So what if you play for a few days? Do you think how much Dabao has improved this year? On the contrary, you are forcing him to study every day. How will his grades be?
I can’t even get up there.”
The more he talked, the angrier he became: "The fourth child and his wife are willing to teach Dabao. That is our Dabao's blessing. If you interfere like this, he may not even be able to pass the college entrance examination in the future."
Sister-in-law Zheng said that she was also doing it for her children's sake.
Brother Zheng said: "I know you are doing it for the best of the child, but does Dabao accept your method? If Dabao listened to you, his English wouldn't always be 30 or 40 points before."
"If it comes to the restaurant, you know better than the fourth couple. But when it comes to educating children, they both graduated from normal universities, so we can't compare. If you really want your child to be good, you should let him stay with Pearl.
Next to Lao Si and Tian Lu."
After being scolded by Brother Zheng, Sister Zheng thought about it carefully and she was indeed anxious. She called Si Ya the next day to apologize.
Si Ya was not angry. She smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I know you are worried that your child will be playing wild and will not be able to concentrate on studying. Sister-in-law, in fact, this idea is wrong. Studying requires a balance between work and rest, and you should have fun.
You should read when you should be reading, otherwise you will be ineffective if you keep tensing your nerves."
"Sister-in-law, let me give you a very simple example. If you work in a restaurant, you are given a salary that is double or triple the current salary and you are asked to stay there all day long, all year round. Are you willing?"
Then I definitely don’t want to. I have a husband and children, and it’s not just work.
Sister-in-law Zheng asked: "Xiao Lu, did you often play there when you were studying?"
Si Ya said with a smile: "My eldest sister will let us play for three to five days during the summer vacation, and then she will take us out to play or go to a restaurant on Sunday."
"Can you calm down?"
"Okay, that's how I came here. Sister-in-law, Dabao is quite smart. As long as he is motivated to learn, I dare not say that a general undergraduate degree will be fine."
After hearing this, Sister Zheng regretted letting her son come back: "Xiaolu, do you think you should let Zheng Jing go to your place again?"
"Forget it now, running back and forth is quite tiring. Just find a good teacher for him at home."
Sister-in-law Zheng hired four tutors from Chinese Language and Mathematical Sciences and Chemistry to teach her all day long, which made Zheng Jing very irritable. When Sister-in-law Zheng asked him to study hard again, Zheng Jing threw away the book in anger.
They all tore it up and said that he would learn how to cook from Father Zheng after he stopped studying.
The next day he actually went to work in a restaurant, and Zheng's father and Brother Zheng were unwilling to go back even if they asked him to go back. With no other choice, Brother Zheng asked Zheng Yuhao for help.
Zheng Yuhao said: "Brother, then let him work in the kitchen without giving any preferential treatment. He was just an ordinary worker at that time. Knowing that money is hard to make, he might settle down and study."
"is that useful?"
"You'll know after you give it a try. Brother, please relax. Zheng Jing is not just going to college. Even if he doesn't pass, he can help you or do other things."
Brother Zheng still hopes that his son will study more: "It's not as good as before. Sometimes foreigners come to our restaurant to eat. We don't understand English and can't receive them well."
After the two brothers chatted, Brother Zheng went to Zheng Jing and said, "If you want to work as a part-time worker in a restaurant, that's your wish. However, you must live in the restaurant staff dormitory, and you will be paid like a restaurant worker."
"good."
After working for more than a month, he went back to school. After that, he no longer said that he was tired from school.
