Studying is so hard, so why bother forcing yourself to go on a road that is completely devoid of light and lead you to darkness?
As for sending his son to study in a private school, he was actually very hesitant. After all, in his opinion, studying was not necessary. However, because his neighbors had similar financial backgrounds, they had already sent their children to his uncle.
He was afraid that his child would fall behind when compared with other children, so he also sent his son to his fourth uncle. Even when his son was sent to his fourth uncle, he was already much older than his peers.
Already.
There was no way, the couple finally had a son, and of course they had to hold it in their hands for fear that something might happen to him. But the truth is, the son was quite happy when he came back from studying the Four Books on the first day, and on the second day he was quite happy.
On the 2nd and 3rd days, I was already unhappy. On the 5th day, I ran up to them and started to express my unwillingness to continue studying.
The reason why he hesitated and did not agree with his son's statement immediately was because he was thinking about the reason why he sent his son to a private school before. Similarly, he was worried that his son would be picked on by others when he played with children of the same age in the future.
He made fun of him, but his hesitation turned into his own. I still insisted on sending him to study, so this rare child who never had to cry since he was a child, well, he raised the golden bean
.
This moment can be regarded as a complete defeat for the grandfather of his family. The son whom he held in his hand and cried without even needing to cry, actually lost his golden bean because of studying. How can I bear this?
Of course, he immediately said that it didn’t matter if he didn’t study.
We just don’t study anymore. If we don’t study, we can still make money openly and openly. This way we can enjoy good food and drink, and we can have a certain status. So it’s not as good as those scholars who are officials, but at least it’s affordable.
We know it's in our hands.
Yes, in fact, this gentleman has always been indifferent to the fact that businessmen have a lower status than scholars in this society. After all, in his opinion, those guys who study hard will only say something that others cannot understand.
Apart from words, in fact, there are no other functions at all. There is no value at all, and there is nothing that can be done to make people free. Why do such people have a higher status than businessmen like them?
But there is no way, this is not something he can decide alone. Regarding his idea, I believe that there is widespread dissatisfaction among the upper body, but in fact, this is the social atmosphere. Reading is more respected than being a businessman.
Much.
Although he felt uneasy and unwilling, his grandfather soon persuaded himself in his heart. After all, he had persuaded him many times about this matter. No matter what, his family was rich, and he suddenly ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wore flexible silks.
I don't know how much better than those people who claim to have high status, but are actually just spending money and counting their days.
There was nothing he could do about it. He must have been very unskilled in reading when he was a child, but his parents forced him hard for a while because they wanted their son to become a successful man. Those days were so miserable, so uncomfortable, and so
Of course, my grandfather still remembers the torture in his heart
Clearly, when it comes to my son, it is something I don’t want to do, and I know the hard work involved. Looking at myself again, I have chosen my son from thousands of people, and of course I don’t want him to be wronged at all.
Naturally, he agreed to his son's request.
It is absolutely impossible to say that he has not regretted this incident. After all, after seeing that his son has gained a reputation for studying, he has gone out and is very respected outside. Not only can he
Even my son who was studying was receiving nursery rhymes, or was flattered and complimented unanimously by people who were similar to them. At that time, my grandfather felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He remembered that his son's husband once told him that his son still had a little talent in reading. If he worked hard and became a scholar, there should be no problem, but it would require a lot of effort on his part.
It took a lot of effort and hard work. At that time, I didn’t take this thing seriously.
He took the matter seriously and thought more about his son's suffering. He didn't want his son to endure such a hard work that ordinary people could not bear, so he gave up his son's study path. After all, being a scholar didn't mean much to him.
It was an amazing thing, after all, he had seen a lot of those poor scholars.
It sounds nice to those people who say they are scholars, but in reality, only they can know what their lives are like. More than once, he has seen the poor and impoverished scholars, each one of whom had to spend the few money they had at home.
He sells his belongings in a pawn shop to make a living. After all, in his opinion, he can't support himself if he can lift his hands but not his shoulders, and he has no main business to rely on. He really can't get on the stage, even if he passes the exam.
Scholar, so what?
It is because of this that when you know that your son's talent is limited, no matter how hard you try, he can only be a scholar. For a family like theirs, there is no hope at all.
The family does not have much land in Chu itself, so there is no tax exemption based on the reputation of a scholar. The most important thing for their family is that the income from the shops is enough to feed and drink for generations. From this point of view, he is fundamental
I don't worry about how my son will live in the future.
After all, as long as he accumulates a lot of family property for him, even if he does nothing in the future, he will be able to live a comfortable life just lying around and eating at home. The principle he has always pursued is to satisfy his son and satisfy him.
To live a life comfortably without worrying about anything is the greatest love a father can have for his son.
Of course, this has always been his belief, but it was only when his son had grown up and wandered around with nothing to do every day, and spent more time at home eating and waiting to die, that he felt a little regretful.
He didn't expect that he just wanted his son to live a smooth life, but he developed a lazy temper in his son who didn't want to do anything. Now his son lives a more relaxed and comfortable life than he does, and he has to go out every day
He went to various shops to check accounts and business conditions, and dealt with various merchants, hoping to get better prices and supply of goods. But as for his son, he really didn't do anything and just stayed at home.
