Due to epidemic prevention and control, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer did not stay at their parents' house for too long, and drove home after putting down their gifts.
On the way, Zhang Xueer, who was flipping through her phone, suddenly said, "Hey, look, Huanhuan's mother just sent a WeChat message to the group, and Huanhuan has disappeared."
"What do you mean by missing? Did you get kidnapped, or did you run away from home?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion upon hearing this.
"Huanhuan's mother said that Huanhuan left a note saying that she was going to the bookstore. But she didn't see anyone when she went to the bookstore. Now she doesn't know where the child has gone." Zhang Xueer explained, "Oh, I don't know if he got lost or was It’s really worrying that someone has been abducted.”
Xiang Nan hurriedly advised, "Don't worry, the whole country is now on lockdown, and there are traffic jams at every intersection. You can't take the child out even if you kidnap him. Human traffickers are not that stupid. In my opinion, the child should be able to walk by himself."
Zhang Xueer nodded and thought it made sense, "Actually, Huanhuan has been under a lot of pressure in the past six months. Her mother is now similar to Ziyou's mother. They are both crazy chicken babies, forcing the child to have no smile at all. She will It’s not weird to run away from home.”
"Then where can she go? For this child, where is the place she wants to go most?" Xiang Nan speculated, "That's where she should be right now."
"By the way, she likes to sing and dance. She has told me many times before that she hopes to participate in a singing competition, but her mother is worried that it will affect her study and has always disagreed." Zhang Xueer guessed, "Will she go there now? ah?"
"Let's go over and have a look." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Check online. Where is the singing competition held?"
Zhang Xueer nodded, clicked on her phone to check, and then Xiang Nan drove the navigation and searched all the way there.
After getting there, far away, I saw a child standing in the rain at the entrance of the theater.
When Zhang Xueer saw her, she immediately got out of the car, "It's really Huanhuan, she's really here."
"You'd better notify her mother to pick her up later." Xiang Nan grabbed her and said. "This is a good opportunity for mother and daughter to reconcile."
Zhang Xueer thought about it, nodded, and then called Nan Li, "Huanhuan's mother, we have found Huanhuan. She is now at the entrance of Yihai Theater in the city center. Come here quickly."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhang. I'll be there right away." Nan Li said excitedly after hearing this.
Ever since her daughter disappeared, she had been looking for her everywhere, and she was so anxious that her heart almost broke. Now that I heard that I found my daughter, I wish I could have wings on my side and fly there.
…
Half an hour later, Nan Li finally arrived at Yihai Theater. After parking the car, she ran towards her daughter.
When Huanhuan saw her coming, he immediately turned around and ran away. Nan Li was so frightened that he ran two steps quickly and caught her in his hands.
"Huanhuan, please don't run away, okay?" she cried, grabbing her daughter.
"Why are you looking for me? You don't want me at all!" Huanhuan also cried.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why doesn't mom want you?" Nan Li cried.
"The one you want is not me at all. You just want a child who studies well." Huanhuan complained, "You like me when I study well. You hate me when I study poorly. You force me to memorize words. , forcing me to do exercises, forcing me to take tutoring classes.
I just don't like these. I just like singing and dancing, but you just don't let me do what I like. You want a daughter like Mi Tao, but I am just an ordinary child. "
"Mom is forcing you for your own good. You will understand this when you grow up." Nan Li cried.
"You always say you are doing it for my own good, but you never care about what I really want. I don't like doing questions, memorizing words, and taking tutoring classes... But you just refuse to listen to me. ." Huanhuan retorted, and then added, "If I die, will you miss me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you want to do!" Nan Li was startled and shouted immediately.
"I started to have a fever last night. I felt unwell and had a stomachache. I checked online and found that it was ****." Xia Huanhuan explained.
When Nan Li heard this, she quickly ran forward, held her daughter in her arms, and touched her forehead, "Silly child, you don't have a fever. Are you on your period? You will also have this reaction when you are on your period. Pneumonia is If you have a cough, it’s not pneumonia if you don’t cough.”
"Anyway, please leave me alone. You also have Chaochao. Chaochao is smarter than me and will definitely study better than me in the future." Xia Huanhuan pushed her away.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you really have pneumonia, your parents will not ignore you." Nan Li cried, "Mom will not let anything happen to you even if she dies."
Hearing what she said, Huanhuan was finally moved and hugged her mother.
…
Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer watched from a distance, and they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw mother and daughter finally reconciled and drove on the road.
"Look at what the education involution has done to the children now," Zhang Xueer sighed.
"Actually, our society has always relied on two sets of standards to operate. What operates in society is social Darwinism, where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive.
In school, absolute fairness is promoted. All students, regardless of differences in IQ, EQ, personality, or hobbies, receive the same education.
Therefore, children who come out of school often have to be severely beaten before entering society. In order to prevent their children from being beaten too badly, parents choose extracurricular tutoring. I hope my child can win early.
Key junior high schools, key high schools, key universities...this way the chance of success will be greater. Xiang Nan smiled and said, "So essentially, it's not educational involution, but social involution."
Now in our country, programmers over the age of 35 will be unemployed. People in their 70s and 80s simply cannot find a job. But if you go abroad and look around, you will find programmers in their 50s and 60s everywhere. The old man in his seventies or eighties still sticks to his post.
In the final analysis, China's labor force is too abundant, but its per capita resources are too few. If you want to survive, you have to compete. If you want to live well, you must climb up.
This kind of involution is inevitable and inevitable. Just relying on one or two knowledgeable people cannot turn the overall situation around. Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
"Anyway, it's a good thing that Huanhuan's mother realized her mistake and stopped going crazy." Zhang Xueer was stunned for a while, then smiled.
She admitted that Xiang Nan was right. But if a parent stops the chicken baby, she will be very happy.
"It's just a temporary lack of success. In three years, it will be the high school entrance examination. After the high school entrance examination, it will be the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, it will be employment. After employment, it will be marriage and childbirth... It will be difficult to pass." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Unless, Admit from the bottom of your heart that your child is a mediocre child, otherwise the chicken baby will never be avoided."
After hearing this, Zhang Xueer couldn't help but nod.
I’m already in this situation when I’m promoted from primary school to junior high school. What should I do if I take the high school entrance examination or the college entrance examination? What should I do if I find a job after graduation? What to do about marriage, what to do about having a baby... I really don't have enough worries.
