Chapter 10 I want to be a chef!
"Why don't you get up... You just go out to play all day long. You can't even get into college, how dare you play?"
The curtains were drawn open, and the sun poured into the room.
My mother's angry voice reached my ears, and Wang Longfei, who was still sleeping, was startled.
"Mom..."
Wang Longfei got up helplessly and looked at his mother with a headache.
This treatment is really getting worse and worse.
Just after the college entrance examination, my mother either made delicious food or took me out to eat to make up for it.
She also gave me enough pocket money and let me go out to play every day.
She was afraid that she didn't have enough money to spend.
But the good days didn't last long, and she didn't like me anymore, finding fault all day long.
When the college entrance examination scores were announced yesterday, it was as if she had completely changed.
My mother didn't want to pay attention to Wang Longfei and left the bedroom directly.
Wang Longfei also knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to speak, and ran to wash up with a mess on his head.
After washing up.
Wang Longfei sat down at the dining table.
"How can you still eat with such a low score?"
Mom glanced at Wang Longfei, but still went to the kitchen to serve porridge for Wang Longfei.
Wang Longfei smiled awkwardly, and then he saw his father was there.
Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock.
"Dad, why aren't you at work?"
Father Wang Junhai pushed his glasses: "Today is Saturday. If you don't go to school, don't you even know what day it is!"
Wang Longfei smiled, it's true.
Wang Junhai drank the last mouthful of porridge, patted Wang Longfei on the shoulder, and whispered: "Okay, don't be too stressed..."
"Your mother is in a bad mood, you should go along with her and don't make her angry."
"You also know your mother, a sharp tongue but a soft heart, it will be fine in two days!"
Wang Longfei nodded quickly.
Of course he would not blame his own mother.
Mom was really good to him. During the three years of high school, she tried her best to make delicious food for him every day.
She was afraid that he would be hungry or cold.
She was very considerate.
I feel really sorry for my mom for getting such a low score.
But what can I do if I really can't learn it?
When the teacher teaches every day, I seem to understand it.
But when I take the exam, I find that I still don't know anything.
Without saying a word, my mother came over with porridge.
Her face was still not very good, and she glanced at Wang Longfei: "Repeat the year, repeat another year, no matter what, you have to go to college!"
Hearing this, Wang Longfei, who had just served the porridge, suddenly looked bitter.
He didn't want to experience the third year of high school again.
Looking back on the entire third year of high school, it seemed that there was only study.
Every day there were thick homework, endless papers to write, and endless tutorial books to read.
Everything seemed pale, without any color.
He didn't want to go through it again.
He looked at his mother with some confidence: "Mom, I don't really want to repeat the year!"
Hearing this, his mother's eyes suddenly glared.
But at this moment, Wang Junhai hurriedly pulled his mother to sit down: "Okay, my wife, if the child doesn't want to repeat the year, then don't repeat it. The pressure is too great, and the grades may not be good after repeating the year!"
"It's okay to go to a junior college. You can upgrade to a bachelor's degree in the future, which is also full-time. It's the same when you find a job."
After hearing this, the mother calmed down a little. After thinking for a while, she nodded: "It's not impossible, then find a better major!"
"Programmers make a lot of money now, so go and learn computer science!"
"Also, I saw on the Internet that the country wants to develop chips, and the salaries of chip developers have increased. There is a shortage of talents, so it's okay to learn microelectronics!"
Wang Junhai on the side gave a thumbs up: "My wife, you have a good idea!"
And Wang Longfei felt a little warm in his heart.
My mother didn't understand these things at all, but now she can say them as soon as she opens her mouth.
It's obvious that she has been concerned about her future and has checked a lot of things.
However, Wang Longfei is not very interested in these.
He didn't dare to look at his mother. While drinking porridge, he whispered: "Mom, I don't really want to learn these. I want to learn cooking..."
Cooking?
Hearing this, the mother, who had just calmed down for a few minutes, stood up immediately: "Are you stupid? What future can you have as a cook? What can you achieve in the future?"
"No!"
"You either repeat your studies or apply for a promising major."
"No discussion!"
Wang Longfei felt helpless when he heard his mother's firm refusal.
He also knew that being a chef had no future.
But he didn't have any ambitions.
He didn't want to fight in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
He liked Tianhai City, and he just wanted to be an ordinary person here, like his parents, and live a quiet life.
"Mom, I don't want to be a programmer, and I don't want to fight in a big city. I just want to stay at home, find an ordinary job, stay with you, and get together with friends when I have nothing to do!"
My mother was quite strong, and Wang Longfei didn't dare to argue.
But this time, Wang Longfei still spoke his mind.
This time, my mother's face turned pale with anger.
"Look at other people's children, they are either going abroad or taking the postgraduate entrance examination, or working in a big company in a big city!"
"Why are you so useless?"
"You... I'll beat you to death..."
The mother was obviously furious and had already started looking for a weapon.
Wang Junhai hurriedly grabbed her and then comforted her: "Wife, wife, calm down first..."
"Long Fei grew up under our eyes, and he really doesn't have any big ambitions."
"But this can't be said to be a bad thing."
"Look at those who have gone to big cities. They either live in shared apartments or in partitioned rooms of a few square meters, and can only eat greasy takeaways."
"If you really buy a house and get married in a big city, your parents will have to spend their entire lives to help pay the down payment. They will have to travel thousands of miles to take care of the children in the future, and they may even be looked down upon by their daughter-in-law."
"And those who went abroad saw the scenery, but their children never came back. They didn't see anyone for several years. It was like raising a child in vain."
"Look at Lao Chen from my work unit. His children went abroad more than ten years ago, and they would squeak when meeting people. But what about now? He drank and had dinner with us several times, and they all said they regretted sending their children abroad. After more than ten years, they have become After seeing each other twice, it’s no different than having no children.”
"If the child has this kind of filial piety, it doesn't matter if he is willing to stay in Tianhai City, at least he will always be with us. He will have good food and housing, and will not suffer."
"In the future, when my children buy a house, house prices in Tianhai City are low, so we can help, right?"
"When the child gets married, it won't be a big problem if he and his daughter-in-law don't get along. They won't live together anyway. But if you live in a big city, can you afford two houses to live in separately?"
Wang Junhai has been adept at persuading his wife for so many years.
And Wang Longfei’s mother really listened this time.
indeed.
It is good for children to have a future.
But I flew too high, too far away from my parents.
If it is true that we can only see each other once a year, or even not once in several years.
It's a little hard for my mom to accept.
After looking at Wang Longfei for a few times, my mother sighed and waved her hand: "Forget it, I don't care about you, just go and study wherever you want. But you have to upgrade from a junior college to a bachelor's degree, and then take the civil service exam locally."
Wang Longfei nodded quickly and cleared the table obediently.
Wang Junhai also followed him into the kitchen and asked, "Which college do you plan to go to to study cooking?"
Hearing this, Wang Longfei replied without hesitation: "Xingchen Vocational and Technical College!"
This is the school he saw on TikTok.
Wang Junhai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't pay much attention.
Just a warning: "Your mother hasn't completely calmed down yet, so you should be good in the past two weeks and take the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes after dinner to make your mother happy..."
Wang Longfei nodded quickly and turned on the faucet.
Wang Junhai nodded with satisfaction and went out to watch TV series with his wife.
…
Wang Longfei was halfway through washing when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why do you wash dishes when you want to make your mother happy?
You know, dad has always been the one who washes dishes at home...
It seems that I have been tricked by my father again...
