Although the Zhuang family and the Wu family are neighbors, they don't have much contact with each other. Huang Ling and Song Ying are closer, almost like biological sisters.
In fact, both Huang Ling and Song Ying looked down on Wu Jianguo's wife Zhang Amei because Zhang Amei treated Wu Jianguo's daughter and son badly.
Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei are a reorganized family. They each have children, and they have no children of their own after marriage.
Zhang Amei's biological daughter Zhang Min does not have to work, but Wu Jianguo's daughter Wu Shanshan has to do housework.
Huang Ling once saw Wu Shanshan queuing up to buy meat on a cold day, while Zhang Min was reading at home.
Whenever the Wu family has good things, Zhang Amei always sticks to her biological daughter first, while Wu Shanshan and her younger brother Wu Xiaojun can't even get any scraps.
Even when Wu Shanshan came to visit relatives as an adult, Huang Ling helped take care of her. Zhang Amei didn't even want to take care of her, and even disliked Wu Shanshan.
Huang Ling and Song Ying are both soft-hearted people. When they see what Wu Shanshan is going through, they will always help. Wu Shanshan is also very grateful to them.
Wang Gang's sense of Wu Shanshan is good or not, and his normal contact is limited to borrowing review materials.
Wang Gang didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, but Huang Ling was unexpectedly enthusiastic.
"You want Shanshan to go to a technical secondary school, why not study textiles? As the child of a cotton mill employee, she will be assigned to work in the factory after graduation." Huang Ling said to Wu Jianguo.
"There is only one quota for employees' children per family. How can we get enough quota for our three children?" Wu Jianguo wondered:
"What I mean is that Shanshan's academic performance is good. It should not be difficult to find a job in the future. The places in the factory will be reserved for her younger siblings."
Huang Ling glanced at Zhang Amei and instantly understood what she was thinking.
"The quota is reserved for Xiao Min, right?" Huang Ling snorted coldly.
Zhang Amei didn't blush and said without a beating heart: "Shanshan has not been interested in textiles since she was a child. On the contrary, Xiao Min is more talented."
Huang Ling's anger was rising, and Wang Gang interrupted: "Uncle Wu, I think the cotton spinning factory has not been doing well recently, and there may be changes in the future. If Shanshan goes to a technical secondary school, it is best to major in accounting or go to a health school."
From God's perspective, Wang Gang knew that with the advent of market economy, the accounting profession would be very popular. Even if he could not enter a public institution, he would not have to worry about finding a job.
On the contrary, cotton spinning factories will get worse and worse, and studying textiles will definitely be a big pitfall.
Looking at the neighbors, Wang just reminded him.
"The normal school is very good. I will become a teacher in the future. Like Teacher Zhuang, I will be stable and respected." Wu Jianguo said happily.
Zhuang Chaoying has been a teacher all her life, so she naturally knows that the trend is changing and does not agree with Wu Shanshan studying in a normal school.
"Old Wu, if you listen to me, the first choice for majors is accounting and health schools. The educational requirements for teachers will become higher and higher in the future. Now I have to go to school outside to study and increase my academic qualifications. It will definitely not be enough for me to be a technical secondary school student.
"
Wu Jianguo asked confused: "What do you mean, you can't become a teacher after studying in normal school?"
Wang Gang explained: "My dad didn't mean that. The technical secondary school education is too low. After graduation, I will be a primary school teacher at most. It is difficult to even teach in an urban primary school."
On the contrary, there are huge gaps in accounting and health schools, so you won’t have to worry about finding a job in the future.”
?Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.
?To be honest, the two of them had limited knowledge and could not understand what Wang Gang and Zhuang Chaoying said.
"After studying accounting, I will only be able to work as a cashier or accountant after graduation. It will not be easy to find a job!" Zhang Amei said worriedly.
"Go to medical school and work as a nurse. It's also a job of serving people. My Shanshan's academic performance is very good, so there is no need to do that kind of job."
?Wu Jianguo wants to save some face. Today's nurses are not like in the past. There is basically no division of labor between nurses and caregivers. In addition to taking care of patients, they also have to carry urinals and wash bed sheets. The work is very intensive and the income is not high. It is very hard.
?Wu Jianguo didn't want his daughter to serve others, but as soon as he said these words, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling's faces fell.
?"Uncle Wu, my aunt is also a nurse." Wang Gang reminded.
?Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei reacted and quickly added: "Old Wu is stupid, he means that if he goes to a medical school, it will not be easy for him to enter the hospital after graduation."
Zhuang Chaoying looked much better and nodded: "It's really not easy to get into the hospital. My sister was able to get in because she passed various assessments. The hospital prefers experienced nurses. Those who have just graduated are usually assigned to the health station."
?Wu Jianguo finally said: "Let Shanshan study in a normal school! It would also be good to be a primary school teacher in the future."
?Huang Ling interjected: "I think you should ask Shanshan in advance what major she would like to study."
?Zhang Amei said nonchalantly: "What does a child know? Lao Wu and I make the decision for her."
?Wu Jianguo also said: "Anyway, there is still time, so I can mention it when the time comes."
?Wang Gang frowned, feeling it was inappropriate, but thinking that it was a family matter after all, he didn't interrupt.
?"Wu Shanshan has such a pair of parents, she doesn't know what kind of evil she has done in her previous life."
"Okay! Say less." Zhuang Chaoying was afraid that Wu Jianguo wouldn't go far enough to hear.
?Huang Ling snorted coldly: "Am I wrong? Shanshan's grades are obviously very good. She skipped two grades in elementary school and is fully capable of taking the high school entrance exam. But Lao Wu insists that she go to a technical secondary school and come out early to make money."
?Wang Gang advised: "Mom, don't be filled with righteous indignation. Uncle Wu's choice cannot be wrong. After all, their family's financial situation is really tight. They have to pay tuition for high school. Whether they can be admitted to university is full of uncertainty. It is safer than technical secondary school."
?If Shanshan wants to study in the future, she will still have a chance."
Huang Ling sighed and said, "Only by going to college can you change your life. Why doesn't Lao Wu understand?"
?Wang Gang smiled and said: "Everyone has different perceptions. Uncle Wu and Aunt Zhang may think that the income of technical secondary school students and college students is about the same, so it is better to attend classes for two more years."
Zhuang Chaoying smiled and said: "Tu Nan is right. For example, the forestry worker next door is a top student of Jiaotong University, and he only gets more than ten yuan more than ordinary workers every month. Maybe Lao Wu thinks that going to university is useless and there is no need to waste time."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!? "Zhang Amei is partial. She only cares about her daughter and doesn't care about Wu Shanshan's future." Huang Ling was still a little aggrieved.
?Wang Gang shook his head and said: "This is normal. What mother is not worried about her children? If she really cares about Wu Shanshan more than Zhang Min, that would be strange."
"Okay! Don't talk about other people's affairs. Hualin will come over later and she will bring us some antipyretics from the hospital." Zhuang Chaoying said.
"Hua Lin is interested. I mentioned to her last time that Xiao Ting is weak and prone to colds and fevers. She immediately got some antipyretics." Huang Ling said with a forced smile.
"Pengfei's grades have improved a lot recently, and Hualin is very happy." Zhuang Chaoying said with a smile.
?Huang Ling said worriedly: "Pengfei's grades have improved, but he is still in the middle and lower reaches of the class. When he enters junior high school, I don't know if he can keep up."
Zhuang Chaoying sighed and said: "Pengfei's foundation is too poor. I usually give him extra tutoring when I have time. Tunan will take the college entrance examination soon, so don't waste his time."
"Of course." Huang Ling turned to Wang Gang and warned: "Son, you will review after dinner. Xiaoting and the others will ask your dad to help with their homework."
?Wang Gang said: "I have finished reviewing. Now I can enter the examination room."
?Zhuang Chaoying warned: "Review again after you have finished reviewing. I heard that the questions in this year's college entrance examination are very difficult. Don't take it lightly. By the way, what major do you want to choose?"
?Wang Gang said: "I heard that Fudan's law major was just rebuilt this year."
?Zhuang Chaoying hesitated and said: "It has just been rebuilt, and the teachers are not qualified enough! How about applying for the history department?"
?Wang Gang shook his head and said: "I am more interested in law, and as the first generation of students after reconstruction, isn't it interesting?"
