Chapter 2408 Find a job with more money, less work, and close to home
Hearing the old man ask about what happened at night, Xiaobai's eyes widened. The little elf knew the old man's intention immediately. He was waiting for her here. He obviously wanted to ask her, but he couldn't bear it.
Q, until now, I still exchange stories.
Xiaobai rolled his eyes, yawned secretly and said, "Old man, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep now."
Zhang Tan stood up and helped her open the window a little, and said, "Okay, if you feel sleepy, just go to sleep."
Xiaobai was a little surprised. Didn't the old man want to hear her talk about what happened tonight? Why didn't he ask? Didn't he insist?
Seeing that Old Man Zhang was really about to leave, she asked, "Old man, don't you want to hear what I said about my relationship with Liuli?"
Zhang Tan said in surprise: "Aren't you sleepy? Are you going to sleep? If you are sleepy, go to bed first. You can tell me what happened tonight."
Xiaobai said: "But I want to hear a story, the story you just told about the chicken."
"Would you like to hear the story tomorrow? Sleep first tonight."
"I don't, I just want to hear it. You tell me a story first."
"Aren't you really sleepy?"
"I can hold on for a while, and I'll tell you about me and Liliu."
Zhang Tan sat back down and said, "Then you tell me about you and Liliu first. After that, I will tell you the story. You will feel sleepy listening to the story."
"good."
Xiaobai began to talk about her love and hatred with Liliu tonight. After finishing the story, she asked: "Old man, am I too naughty? Grandma was angry today, saying that I have to love studying."
Zhang Tan said: "Grandma is right, you should listen to grandma more. Studying is very important, and happiness is also very important. Studying and happiness must be balanced. Didn't you and Liuliu write a composition tonight? It's about learning.
, I read it, and I think your writing is very good. Your understanding is very good and your ideological awareness is very high. I am very happy to see that you think so."
Can Xiaobai say that she was just telling nonsense?
She asked: "Old man, what if I still have trouble studying despite my hard work?"
Zhang sighed: "At least you won't be bad if you work hard. Moreover, I want to tell you that studying is not for grades. Grades cannot fully reflect whether a person is good or bad at studying."
When Xiaobai heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and her voice was a few decibels louder. She said, "Old man, I think so too! We thought of it together."
Zhang Tan said to himself, are you really thinking of getting together with me, or are you just trying to find a reasonable excuse for not studying?
Now that this issue has been mentioned, Zhang Tan plans to say a few more words.
After elementary school, Xiaobai's academic performance has not been very good, and he is at the upper middle level.
She is very smart, as clever as Liliu, but her test scores have never been top-notch. The two children are very playful and cannot calm down.
Zhang Tan felt that they could neither lose their motivation to learn nor lose their confidence.
So he thought for a while, organized his words, and continued: "What Dad wants to tell you is that studying and studying is not to compare with others, but to give people the right to choose, to choose what they like, which is meaningful and useful."
time work; rather than being forced to make a living doing work that you don’t like but can’t give up.”
Xiaobai seemed to understand, but still nodded and said: "It makes sense, old man, you know a lot."
Zhang Tan continued: "When a person's work is meaningful in his heart, he will definitely like it and will have a sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, it will be a kind of pain. When your work gives you achievement,
It’s dignity, it doesn’t deprive you of your life, so this kind of job is what people yearn for most. It’s not that there aren’t jobs close to home with more money and less work, but that many people don’t have the ability to do this job.”
"A job with more money, less work, and close to home?" Xiaobai muttered, "Old man, your current job is a job with more money, less work, and close to home, right?"
Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's true."
"Hahahaha~~~Old man, did you study very hard when you were a child?" Xiaobai asked. She was always interested in the old man's past and her eyes were bright.
Zhang Tan said: "I'm telling you the truth, but you can't tell it to others, including Xi'er and Xiaoxiaobai. If you can't do it, I won't tell you."
"I can do it, I can do it, old man, I swear!"
"No need to swear, I believe you. In fact, my academic performance was not very good when I was a child..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaobai burst into laughter.
In order to avoid the collapse of his image in his daughter's mind, Zhang Tan said, "But I work very hard, but I don't study for exams, so the test scores cannot reflect my hard work."
Xiaobai quickly answered: "Old man, I'm just like you, old man. I'm the same way. The test scores don't reflect my hard work."
Zhang Tan:→_→
Are you sure you're not making excuses for yourself?
Without waiting for Zhang Tan to give her a bowl of chicken soup, Xiaobai continued to ask: "Old man, your job pays more, has less work, and is close to home. When you die in the future... you retire, can I inherit your job?"
The little boy's eyes were rolling around and he was laughing. He almost said the wrong thing just now. I don't know if the old man could hear it.
Of course Zhang Tan heard it. He wanted to wait until he died so that he could inherit his job with more money, less work, and close to home. What a melon boy! A black-hearted little cotton-padded jacket!
Zhang Tan said angrily: "I'm afraid not!"
"What? You can't? Won't you give it to me?" Xiaobai's eyes widened and he almost said, old man, you are too stingy.
Zhang Tan said without conscience: "It's not that I won't give it to you, but I have promised Xi'er before that in the future I will give her a job with more money, less work, and a job close to home."
noob:"……"
The child looked unwilling.
Zhang Tan said: "If you are unwilling, you can go to Xi'er and discuss it with Xi'er."
Xiaobai thought for a while, sighed and said: "Forget it, just give it to Xiwa's little friend. She is stupid and will definitely be bullied in the future. The old man has more money and less things to do. I'll give it to a job close to home."
I don’t want her, I’ll find another one myself, I don’t believe I’m so smart and can’t find her? Will I not be able to find her?”
"You'll definitely find it."
"My dear, I think so too."
"But the premise is that you have to study hard."
"I will, old man, I can't let you and grandma down."
"You can't just talk, you have to do what you say. If your final exam score can be among the top ten in the class, I will promise you a condition. Whatever you want to do, as long as it is within my ability, I will satisfy you."
Xiaobai's eyes lit up and he sat up instantly, which shocked Zhang Tan. This reaction must have been too big.
"Old man, you must keep your word."
"It definitely counts. When have I ever spoken without counting?"
"That's not true. Come on, let's pull the strings. It's Coyotito who's lying to you."
"...Isn't there already a dog in Huangjia Village who calls my name?"
"...Ah, I'm so sleepy. I want to go to sleep. No more chatting. Good night. Let's go, go."
