"That's right, with that quota, you can be recommended to No. 48 Middle School! Our Jiangbei District is such a key school that can do well. If Xiaoman is asked to take the exam, he will be exhausted and won't be able to get in!"
"Isn't it just a matter of applying directly? Doesn't Xiaoman meet the requirements?"
Zhao Dong also found it strange that Xiaoman's sports performance was very good, especially table tennis. He even won the junior championship in a competition held in Jiangbei District.
If there is such a quota, then he must meet the conditions.
The sister-in-law was in a dilemma, "Hey, now those parents are trying to get that quota by squeezing their fiduciary relationships."
Mother Zhao simply put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Just tell me."
The sister-in-law ignored the look in her eyes and simply said: "Mom, if I can apply, I won't open my mouth to you! This quota is limited. Originally, with our family's conditions, Xiaoman would definitely be selected, but those who trusted us with the relationship were
The parents were squeezed out..."
Mother Zhao didn't speak, waiting for her next words.
The sister-in-law continued: "Mom, I heard from the boss that you have friends in the Education Bureau of Jiangbei District. Can you..."
"It goes without saying, I won't open my mouth like this."
The sister-in-law was stunned, "Why?"
"Then according to what you say, those children who can't get into No. 48 Middle School don't have to study anymore?"
"But......"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Xiao Man can get into No. 48 Middle School. That's his ability! If he learns to get something for nothing from an early age, what future prospects can he have?"
My sister-in-law rarely refutes her mother's ideas. This time she rarely opened her mouth, "Mom, you are right, but we can't let him lose at the starting line!"
Zhao’s mother disagreed, “If you can’t get into No. 48 Middle School, are you lost at the starting line? I don’t think so! Xiaodong didn’t get into the key points either. He still became a soldier and defended his family and country. How did he lose at the starting line?”
The sister-in-law turned her head and said, "I don't care, anyway, I don't want Xiaoman to be like his father in the future!"
Mother Zhao's voice became colder, "His dad, tell me, what happened to his dad?"
The eldest brother was about to interrupt, but was still half a step too late.
I heard my sister-in-law say aggrievedly: "His dad suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated. He didn't graduate from high school, and the leaders looked down on him! This time when he was promoted to a post in the factory, he clearly met the requirements, and he was better than others in everything.
It just happened to be brushed off!”
The eldest brother looked unhappy, "Why are you bringing this up? Come down as soon as you finish eating!"
Mother Zhao interrupted, "Ask her to sit down and say what you want to say!"
The sister-in-law's eyes were red, "I just feel that you are partial. If this is Xiaodong's matter, you will definitely take care of it immediately without opening your mouth. When it's our turn, I can't even beg you!"
After hearing this, Mother Zhao slammed the table.
Zhao Dong was stunned on the side. It was rare to see his mother so angry. He hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, "Mom, don't be angry. My sister-in-law didn't mean that."
The eldest brother also stared at him, "What are you looking at? Mom is just sick. Why don't you apologize to her quickly?"
Only then did the sister-in-law realize that her tone was too harsh and she quickly admitted her mistake, "Mom, I'm sorry, I..."
Mother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaodong is young and the boss let him go. That's what he should do. No one can fault him! As for the boss not being able to be a cadre, that's his own fault. Don't make so many excuses! And
, I don’t think there’s anything shameful about being a worker!”
The sister-in-law was so full of grievances that she couldn't speak out, but she couldn't refute, so she finally stopped talking.
Zhao Dong was in an awkward situation and couldn't open his mouth.
The eldest brother then advised, "Mom, don't let your anger break your body."
Mother Zhao nodded, and then gestured: "You two happen to be here. Let me tell you something. Boss, you will pack up a room for me in a while. I want to move here."
The sister-in-law was dumbfounded. My mother had always lived in Xiaodong, so why did she suddenly want to move here?
