Chapter 247 Brother, I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination (Chapter 2 is here)
"Zekai, why did you come back so early?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai said: "My grandpa was unwilling to go to the hospital. I stayed at home, and he used crutches to chase me away. What do you think I can do?"
"Hey, let's talk about it later." Luo Xiyun had no better way.
She said: "Now that you are back, I will go to work. Mr. Qi just called me again."
"Oh, then go ahead." Xia Zekai didn't go to the company. He wanted to take a rest and be quiet.
Things at home and in the factory came together and made his head explode.
He didn't need to worry about his family for the time being, so Xia Zekai put his mind aside and considered how to solve the problem at hand.
After all the calculations, in the final analysis, money is still the word.
…
While Xia Zekai was thinking about how to make money, brothers Xia Yunfei and Xia Yunhui both made time. Xia Yunhui drove his Focus and took his eldest brother and his father back to his hometown of Xiazhuang.
While in the car, Xia Weiguo's eyes began to turn red. He sat there silently and didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
The two brothers were sitting in the driver's seat and co-pilot in front respectively. Xia Yunfei blamed himself very much. He said: "Yunhui, we haven't paid much attention to the affairs of our hometown in recent years. This is wrong. When we go back this time, no matter what happens."
So, I have to persuade grandpa to take a look."
"We can't let my uncle and his family bear the burden of money. We'll see how much it costs and we'll share it equally."
"Well, let's take a look at the specific situation!" Xia Yunhui was not blindly optimistic.
Xia Weiguo remained silent.
Xia Yunhui didn't drive slowly. Where there was no speed limit, he just stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
That's it. When we arrived at Xiazhuang, it was already three hours later, and it was almost dark.
Xia Weicheng didn't expect that his eldest brother and his two nephews would come back that same day. What a big deal!
"Brother, why are you back?" Xia Weicheng greeted.
Xia Yunfei and Xia Yunhui both shouted: "Uncle."
Seeing Zhou Yinghong come out of the house, they shouted again: "Auntie!"
"Hey, Yunfei, Yunhui, you are back." Zhou Yinghong pointed at Westinghouse and said, "I can't persuade your grandpa anymore. You can persuade me to give it a try. During lunch, I stewed the vegetables until they were pulpy.
He still can't swallow it."
When Xia Weiguo heard this, he hurried to the West Room.
Brother Xia Yunfei came to see two brand new air conditioners in the yard. They looked like they had just been installed. Then they thought that their cousin had just returned to Qicheng, so they knew that they should have been installed by his cousin.
If it were their second uncle and second aunt, they would definitely be reluctant to spend this money.
…
"Dad, can I not go to kindergarten tomorrow?" When Xia Zekai was cooking in the kitchen, Tongtong suddenly said this.
Xia Zekai thought something was wrong with her, so he quickly looked back: "Tongtong, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Tongtong shook his head: "No, I just don't want to go to kindergarten."
This is a big problem. Could it be that the female bully was bullied in kindergarten?
Xia Zekai lowered the heat a little and simmered the meat in the pot slowly. He came to the living room, looked at Tongtong, and asked him: "Tongtong, why don't you want to go to kindergarten? Did someone bully you?
"
"No, they don't dare, I just want to play." Tongtong stumbled and explained the reason.
Today when a group of children were playing in the class, one child mentioned his experience of playing on the trampoline at the weekend, which really attracted a lot of attention, and Tongtong also wanted to play.
Xia Zekai thought something had happened, but he didn't expect the reason to be so simple. He said, "Tongtong, we have to go to school tomorrow, but dad promises you that when you have a break in a few days, dad will take you to play on the trampoline."
"Dad also promised you that in 10 days, he will take you to the capital. There are so many fun places there, including the Forbidden City and the Great Wall!" Xia Zekai also extended his hand to make some gestures.
It's a pity that you are playing the piano to a cow.
Tongtong asked him with big confused eyes: "Dad, where is Gudong?"
"It's the Forbidden City. There are many, many houses there, and they're so beautiful inside." Xia Zekai couldn't even describe it, and Tongtong didn't have that concept in his mind.
This time she knew that her father would take her out to play in a few days, so she was happy and didn't mention that she didn't want to go to kindergarten tomorrow.
Then I ran to the bedroom to tell my sister the good news.
Xia Zekai went to the kitchen to continue looking at the pot.
When Luo Xiyun came back in the evening, Xia Zekai told her about going to the capital next week.
"Daughter-in-law, see if you can take two days off. Let's set off on the 13th, attend a Weibo press conference on the 14th, and then spend the two days on Saturday and weekend shopping around the capital." Xia Zekai explained his plan.
Luo Xiyun frowned and said, "It's not necessarily easy for me to ask for leave. Let's see first. If it doesn't work, then you can take them both with you."
Luo Xiyun also wanted his two daughters to see more of the world and broaden their horizons.
Xia Zekai shook his head: "How can that be okay? If you want to go, just go together. You can ask for leave first. Just say that there is something urgent at home and you have to go back. If you don't give me leave, you won't work. How rare!"
Boss Xia started to pay attention to his wife.
Luo Xiyun slapped him in the face and then said, "Let's talk about it again!"
After Xia Zejiang came back from work, he saw that his brother had come back, so he quickly asked: "Brother, why did you come back so quickly? How is our grandpa?"
"What a stubborn old man. He said he wouldn't go to the hospital. I kept the money at home and let my parents slowly persuade me." Xia Zekai was really helpless about this matter.
Xia Zejiang also knew his grandfather's temper, and he was a bit unbiased.
"Brother, I don't really want to take the postgraduate entrance examination." Xia Zejiang suddenly uttered this sentence while eating.
It shocked Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun in the living room. Yatou and Tongtong were competing with a bunch of toys on the foam mat, and they couldn't understand what the second uncle meant.
"Why don't you take the exam?" Xia Zekai didn't notice, and his voice was a bit stern.
Luo Xiyun also asked: "Zejiang, if something happened to you, tell your sister-in-law."
"Brother, sister-in-law, nothing has happened to me. I am sober now and I know what I am talking about." Xia Zejiang was a little excited. He said, "I just feel that I am useless. This kind of thing happened to me at home.
I can't help at all."
"No one can help me, and I don't have any money. I just continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination. What's the use?" Xia Zejiang expressed his self-denial.
He had only been thinking about this matter for the past few days. After thinking more about it, he felt a little depressed. He felt more and more that he might as well graduate early and go to work early to make money. At least he could help with money by then.
It seems that he is useful.
Although Xia Zekai teases his younger brother from time to time, he really cares about his younger brother's schooling.
After hearing his brother express his thoughts, Xia Zekai asked him: "Even if you graduate from a bachelor's degree, what kind of job do you think you can find?"
"Let me tell you first, I don't want you here." Xia Zekai said.
Xia Zejiang was very confused. In fact, he didn't know.
Although he usually works as a summer job, tutoring and tutoring, it is a part-time job while still going to school. He can earn hundreds or thousands of yuan, which is extra income. He will be very happy.
Happy.
If he doesn't go to school anymore, he won't be able to accept it if he is asked to earn so little.
Especially during the past two days when wages were being paid at Jingtong Food Factory, he learned from other people that his leader Zhang San had seven to eight thousand a month.
Xia Zejiang also found out from others that high-income leaders like his were not the only ones in his brother's small factory. Several department leaders had the same salary, which shocked Xia Zejiang.
Did he know that most of his graduated senior brothers and sisters were looking for jobs that paid more than 1,500 yuan a month, and some only paid around 2,000 yuan, but he worked for his brother for two weeks and earned 2,200 yuan?
, what is this concept?
This kind of situation gave him the idea that "reading is useless".
Xia Zekai didn't know this. If he knew, he would definitely regret that he dragged his younger brother to work with him during the summer vacation and gave him a wrong sense of values.
"Brother, if you don't want me, I'll look for you in another company. After all, I'm still a full-time undergraduate student at Jida, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find a job." Xia Zejiang said this very arrogantly.
Xia Zekai then asked him: "You think you are awesome, right?"
"Zejiang, now that you have graduated, how much money do you think you can earn with your ability?"
"You graduated early, how can you help your family? Your parents don't have to pay for your tuition? You don't have to worry about your living expenses anymore."
"Go out!"
"coward!"
"Zejiang, you are evading responsibility. It's just you. If I don't tell you, you won't be able to do anything big even after you graduate."
"What's going on here? Our grandpa is sick. If ten or twenty years go by and our parents also get sick, will you still have to die and survive?" Xia Zekai became more and more angry as he talked.
Brothers don't live up to expectations.
Xia Zejiang's face turned red when he was told that, and Luo Xiyun couldn't stand listening anymore. She shouted: "Zekai, please stop saying a few words and let Zejiang think about it again. The postgraduate entrance examination is a must."
"..." Xia Zejiang was dumbfounded. What kind of consideration is this?
Luo Xiyun also said: "Zejiang, do you feel that your grandpa is ill and the family will spend a lot of money. If you continue to go to school and continue to increase the burden on the family, do you feel bad?"
These words almost captured Xia Zejiang's inner thoughts, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Luo Xiyun continued: "Zejiang, let me give you the simplest example."
"For example, at the foreign company I worked for, I passed the Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate. As soon as I joined, I applied for a job as a department manager. I earned more than 10,000 yuan a month. I also got a year-end bonus and many other benefits."
"There are many graduate students who have just entered our factory. As long as they are in the corresponding majors, even if you have no practical experience before, you will be assigned the minimum technician position when you come. A few of them can only be three to four thousand a month."
"Graduate students with some work experience are basically assigned engineer positions, with salaries ranging from five to six to seven to eight thousand a month. Even senior engineers can earn more than ten thousand."
"Our factory has many undergraduates. At most, they can be assigned as technicians or used as reserve talents. The salary is not more than 3,000, and those with junior college degrees are only around 1,800."
"Tell me, which one do you think is better now?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zejiang suddenly stopped talking. What his brother said was too false, but what his sister-in-law said was very real, so he hesitated.
