Chapter 200 It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish
Chen Shi and Shen Xue walked into Xiaobing's house. The living room in his house was very large and empty. Because it was too big, there was not much decoration. The furniture was only a refrigerator, a color TV and a sofa and coffee table. The rest of the place was empty.
Moreover, the floor is still cement and there are no tiles. The surrounding walls are painted with a layer of white paint, but I guess the paint is not very good and it is cracked in many places.
A group of people were sitting around the living room. Xiaobing's sister was cutting fruit for everyone to eat. She worked in the town and rode a motorized tricycle to and from get off work every day. She brought some things back to sell at home. Xiaobing's house was also a canteen in the village. His father My mother was doing this in the village at that time, and so were my grandparents. This seemed to be a profession that their family had been doing for generations.
Nowadays, the village is full of old people and children, with limited spending power, and the things they sell are all worthless things. The most important thing is that this canteen only opens after school. It can’t make much money, but it can make some money for electricity bills.
.
My sister also bought a gas stove and a water dispenser for her home. She carried the gas stove and pure water buckets from the town. She looked like a capable girl.
"Everyone, eat some fruit. We don't have anything to entertain you here. I'll take you to the town to eat something good tomorrow." Sister Xiaobing said.
"No, we just live here specifically, Xiaobing and Yaomei. I told the village chief just now that we are not a program team of Become Red. We are a program team that specializes in filming the local customs. Do you understand the local customs? That's it.
The kind that specializes in filming your daily life." Chen Shi said.
It is obvious that Xiaobing and Yaomei feel a sense of loss. They also imagine that they will be on TV and their classmates will see them on TV, and then they will become celebrities in the whole school. Especially after seeing those people from the same school on TV, they will come back.
The scenery is endless, and everyone envies the exchanged children for experiencing the colorful life in the city.
However, when they heard that Chen Shi was going to film local customs, these children were still very happy. After all, they could be on camera. Besides, becoming famous is not so popular now. Many Internet TV shows are popular. Although these children are not familiar with the outside world.
I don’t know much about it, but you can learn about it through your mobile phone.
The power of mobile phones is that people can quickly understand the outside world, but a lot of information has not been filtered. You let children like Yaomei and Xiaobing see the colorful world outside. In fact, it is also a temptation, making their minds no longer so simple. They
All I can think about is the colorful world outside.
"Children, do you want to go out? Do you want to take a look outside?" Liu Hui asked.
"I think so, of course I do, I want to go to Disneyland in Magic City," Yaomei said.
"I want to go to the Imperial Capital to visit the Forbidden City and climb the Great Wall," Xiaobing said.
"What about you?" Liu Hui asked Xiaobing's sister.
Sister Xiaobing was a little overwhelmed by the question. She was seventeen years old. She dropped out of school in the first year of junior high school and was now working. She didn't expect Liu Hui to ask her.
"Me, I'm going to work more to save some money, and then go to work in a big city and see the outside world," my sister said.
Liu Hui shook her head and sighed and said: "Do you want to know about your life in the future? Let me tell you, the money you earn from working outside is likely to be used by your family to support the family. This is understandable. After all, your parents
Gave you life.
But you know better than me here, including Yaomei. You are already ten years old. I have a general understanding of what you all heard from the village chief.
I am also a child in a rural area. I know that the idea of favoring boys over girls is deeply ingrained in some places, but adults don’t know the psychological harm that what they do may bring to children. For example, Yaomei, you are already ten years old.
Are you in fourth grade?
You know some things better than anyone else. Your brother was brought to the city by his parents, and you are here. You must feel aggrieved and even a little bit resentful, right? Your sisters are like Xiaobing’s sisters. We are talking about Xiaobing’s
elder sister.
When you go to a big city, your career options include being a low-level worker in a factory, being a good receptionist in a hotel or restaurant, or being a dishwasher and a waiter. But I heard that many hotels now require a minimum of a high school diploma. You will be in a
Working in a small circle day after day year after year.
The world you can see is also limited, because the group of people around you are basically in the same situation as you, and they can't give you many opportunities to broaden your horizons. Then after a few years, you go home, find someone to marry, and have children.
.
Nowadays, fewer people stay at home to take care of their children. You will go out to work hard with your spouse. With luck, you can earn some money through an opportunity to buy a house and take your children to live in the city.
But your children may not have been in contact with you for a long time. Living here by yourself is equivalent to being left alone. Your children may have basically the same life as you. This is sad, because your thoughts and vision are no longer there, and many of us don’t.
They will pay attention to children's mental health and educate them with the concept of producing filial sons through the stick.
It’s sad to be old. Because you don’t have any skills, you will probably have no survival skills after the age of fifty. Most of them will continue to do some hard labor. Because at this age, you will be eliminated by society quickly without any skills. This is the way this society is.
It’s cruel. When you get old, you don’t have any income and expect your children to give you money.
I originally thought like you, and couldn't listen to what others said. Until I left the countryside and encountered obstacles everywhere, there were people around me who went out like you young people today. They couldn't resist the temptation of the colorful world, and they didn't.
Those who are skilled can only sell their bodies and youth in exchange for money to squander, but this group of people will be very miserable and even miserable if they are free for a few years at most.
I also had this thought at the time, and all kinds of thoughts, but I met the noble person in my life. I have not seen this noble person for decades. For him, it may be a trivial matter, but for me
It's something that changed my life.
He told me that the only way out for children from poor families is to study. Reading is the fastest and most effective way to change their destiny. This has been the case in all dynasties. Only by reading more can you know that the world is not black and white. The knowledge you gain from books
You may not see the effect for a short time, but one day if you use it, you may change your life very quickly, not only for you, but also for your children and grandchildren.
Among the people who study hard with you, there will definitely be someone who will help you see further things. People who don’t want to learn are basically saying that learning is useless. As long as you study, it will be useful. This will make your ideological horizons become useless.
Same, this means that many people will call others nerds. In fact, they don’t want to continue chatting with you because they waste their brains and have to think about how to answer your questions so that you can understand them.
The noble man told me to go to school. He gave me a chance to study and helped me pay one year's tuition and rent. At that time, the college entrance examination had just resumed. He told me that in one year, I would not only
You have to study and learn to survive. You can do some part-time jobs to earn some money to pay your tuition for the coming year.
When I saved a year's tuition and paid it next year, I was told that the noble man had already paid my tuition and rent for three years. It was already too late for me to go to school. I only went to middle school when I was sixteen, but
At that time, people generally went to school late. Because of this turn of events, I completely changed my life. I later went abroad and lived abroad for a long, long time.
If it weren't for that noble man, I don't know what I would be like today. Children, remember, if you are not strong enough, how can you compare with the savings earned by generations of hard work?
The children in the city may have gained their current platform through the efforts of three or four generations.
People's thoughts, vision, behaviors and living habits are all left behind after generations of people have selected the best. You see those children in the city learning bad things and showing off everywhere. I can tell you that their parents
Or grandparents may have accumulated huge wealth because of a chance, but they have always believed that luck does not value the importance of study, and then at a certain point in time, big problems will arise.
This type of family would rather believe in burning incense and worshiping Buddha than in knowledge. A chance coincidence made them completely give up their values.
Most families in the city are full of learning atmosphere. Their children may have less time to play than yours. They have to attend various cram schools and interest classes. When these children grow up, they can rely on skills to make a living. Skills can make a living.
Eat it for a lifetime.
Maybe you will think I am verbose, but I want to say that after you go out now, I may be more cruel to you. Your thoughts, vision, and behavior may make you feel inferior and even think reversely, thinking that others look down on you for being a rural person. In fact, everyone
They are all rural people.
After all, the reform and opening up has only been around for a few years, and people in cities are all immigrants from rural areas, and they are all descendants of rural people.
At your age and family background, the only way for you to change your destiny is to read and study. If you really can't read, then learn a skill. This skill will definitely ensure that you can use it for a long time, instead of reaching a certain age.
It's useless.
I can't do anything for you, and I can't change anything. I can only do my best. I decided to set up an education fund here. As long as the children want to study and the children here want to study, I will provide free funding. I will also
There is a vocational education in town, and anyone who applies can come to class for free and learn various techniques. I can't help with anything else. This is what I can do."
I don’t know if Liu Hui’s long speech can be understood by these children. Anyway, Chen Shi knows that some people can understand it after listening to it once, and some people can’t understand it after listening to it. Apparently from the people present, only Yaomei’s eyes and
Others are different.
According to statistics, children who are less favored by their families have higher achievements because they work hard to prove themselves.
"Okay, let's play a little game to test everyone's reaction ability." Chen Shi quickly answered to break the deadlock. He didn't know why Liu Hui said this, but he could feel the conflict between Xiaobing and his sister.
and disgust.
Maybe they feel that they have heard enough of the truth, and people don't want to hear such harsh truths. In fact, they don't know that the more harsh things are the summed up by others who have suffered losses, but no one likes to hear harsh things.
What Liu Hui does is teaching people to fish is worse than teaching people to fish, but how many people like to hear this?
As soon as he heard that Chen Shi was going to play a game, Xiaobing immediately became energetic.
"Okay, now think of a random number from one to nine. Have you thought about it? Multiply it by two, add four, divide it by two again, subtract the number you thought of before, add five, and the reaction
Are you here yet? Is the last number equal to seven?" Chen Shi said,
