On the way back from the cemetery, Wu Feng sat in the back of the battery car.
"Dad, you came back just in time today. You arrived home just when we were preparing to eat at noon."
"If I hadn't received the news that you were definitely coming back, I would have thought you were letting me go again."
Wu Guoan said with a smile while riding the electric scooter: "After all, it's so far away. We have to catch a plane and transfer to a car. It's not easy to come back."
"Xiao Feng, I told you before that I asked you to transfer to Jiangxia. How do you think about it?"
"After all, your mother and I both work there, so it's not an option to leave you alone at home all the time."
"When you get there, although we are still busy with work, at least we can see each other often."
"It's not like this. If I leave you in my hometown, I might not be able to see you even once throughout the year."
In fact, Wu Guoan and the others had the idea of transferring Wu Feng to another school when he was in junior high school.
But my mother was still alive at that time and insisted on staying in Zhongnan.
It has been several years since his mother passed away. Wu Guoan and his wife will mention this matter to Wu Feng every time they come back.
But the effect was not very good, and Wu Feng was not very willing to transfer to another school.
Sure enough, after hearing Wu Guoan's words, Wu Feng's head shook like a rattle.
"If I don't go, I won't go."
“It’s good to be in Zhongnan.”
He has lived with his grandma since he was a child, and he knows how much his grandma likes it here.
Although grandma has left now, Wu Feng has not completely let go.
Therefore, he was very resistant from the bottom of his heart to transferring to the distant Jiangxia.
And now that he has met Teacher Xu and the group of classmates in the class, Wu Feng doesn't want to leave even more.
Wu Guoan shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, if you don't want to transfer to another school, don't transfer."
"But you will take the college entrance examination next year. You will eventually leave Zhongnan to go to university, right?"
“Didn’t we all agree to choose science subjects when we were choosing arts and science subjects?”
"Why did you choose liberal arts after all?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to build cars, airplanes, and rockets when you grew up?"
“You didn’t study physics or chemistry in high school, and then transferred to college?”
Wu Guoan and his wife were very surprised that Wu Feng chose liberal arts.
Although they are away from Zhongnan all year round, they still take time to care about their son's academic performance.
When my mother was still alive, my son studied very well, especially in science subjects such as mathematics and physics.
But with the death of his mother and the return of his father, his son seemed to be a changed person.
I even gave up my favorite science subject.
What happened in the middle?
Could it be related to father's return?
Because the subject selection happened last year, and Wu Guoan and the others haven't been back for more than a year, so they still haven't figured out the reason.
After hearing his father's words, Wu Feng shrugged.
"No more, I plan to switch to liberal arts and become a teacher."
Wu Guoan's hands shook, and he almost hit the curb on the side of the road while riding his electric scooter.
"Xiao Feng, you...do you really think this way?"
Wu Guoan and the others felt very guilty for Wu Feng after not being around him all year round.
Therefore, they always adopted a very gentle attitude towards Wu Feng's education, and never beat or scolded Wu Feng even once.
As for his son's sudden idea of becoming a teacher, Wu Guoan had never heard his son mention it before.
Wu Guoan, who was riding a battery bike, felt guilty.
He gradually understood his father's mood back then.
The couple simply quit their jobs and came back to be with their son?
Wu Guoan and the others couldn't do it either.
Although the world would turn around without anyone, they are not the indispensable and absolute pillars of the unit.
But Wu Guoan and others are still unwilling to give up if they can engage in a job that is meaningful to the country and the people.
In this case, the only one who owes the debt is the son.
My father must have had similar thoughts back then, right?
Wu Guoan thought in his heart.
Wu Feng smiled easily, "It's possible, I haven't thought about it yet."
His heart is actually very complicated.
If he really wanted to give up his own preferences, he wouldn't be able to do it in a short period of time.
Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have given away all the precision models in the room.
As for being a teacher?
That was an idea that Wu Feng came up with accidentally after Teacher Xu took over Class 9.
Wu Guoan nodded and said: "Xiaofeng, you still have to think carefully about the industry you want to engage in in the future, and don't be anxious."
"But if you choose liberal arts instead of science, you are still a little too impulsive."
"What did you think last year?"
Wu Feng chuckled and said, "I didn't think much about it. I just thought science was not interesting, so I chose liberal arts."
Seeing that Wu Feng was unwilling to say anything, Wu Guoan did not pursue the question any further.
…
Boom, boom, boom.
After dinner in the evening, Wu Guoan knocked on his father's door.
After entering the room, Wu Guoan himself pulled a stool and sat down.
"Guoan, is your work going well?" Wu Weizheng asked with a smile.
He is a very strange person.
Be confident and calm in your professional field.
But when I returned to Zhongnan and dealt with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, I became cautious and unable to start.
Such a strong contrast sometimes makes him feel helpless.
In between, there is guilt towards my family, and also the unfamiliarity of not living with my family for a long time.
Wu Guoan smiled and nodded, "Dad, our work is going very smoothly."
"It's been hard for you to take care of Xiaofeng at home these past few years."
Wu Weizheng smiled and said: "Xiao Feng is smart and has strong hands-on skills. He doesn't need me to do too much at all."
"On the contrary, sometimes I even end up being a disservice."
Wu Guoan shook his head, "Dad, don't say that."
"Xiao Feng doesn't understand some things, don't blame him."
"I don't blame him."
Wu Weizheng shook his head calmly, "I know he hates me in his heart and hates that I didn't even come back to see Xiaolin for the last time."
"dad……"
The father and son in the room fell into a brief silence.
"Dad, when Xiaofeng was choosing subjects last year, he chose liberal arts, do you know?"
Wu Guoan's words broke the silence in the room.
"Why."
Wu Weizheng gave a rare sigh and showed a wry smile.
"It's my fault."
"I also realized it later. I didn't think much about it at all."
Wu Guoan was startled.
How could this be blamed on my father?
"Xiaofeng may have heard his grandma say some things about me in the past."
"For a while, he even took the initiative to ask me for advice on study problems."
"I thought he wanted to take the initiative to ease the relationship between us, so I didn't think too much about it. I answered whatever he asked."
"But later I found out that he was planning to use those science problems to make things difficult for me and embarrass me."
"In the end, I answered his difficult questions, which actually embarrassed Xiaofeng."
"Hey, it wasn't until he chose liberal arts that I finally realized that I should have pretended to be dumb when faced with the difficulties he faced."
"He originally hated me as a grandfather, but then he discovered that all his difficult problems were solved by me one by one."
"He couldn't get angry, so he chose liberal arts willfully."
