Chapter 7, Returning Home
Perhaps it is true that the angry youth are not suited for studying politics
After getting off the car, Qin Yuanqing looked at the bungalow, a hint of moisture appearing in his eyes; this is his home, his old home
The private car driver, being an old acquaintance, immediately started the vehicle after reminding everyone to sit properly
Once they have lost it, they can no longer experience such happiness again, no matter how much money they spend
Qin Yuanqing's favorite is Zhang Yining, who won the women's singles and women's doubles championships at the Beijing Olympics. Coupled with her victory at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Zhang Yining became the first double Grand Slam champion in the history of China, famously known as the 'Great Demon King'. Even at the Tokyo Olympics, held more than a decade later, Zhang Yining remains a frequently mentioned figure.
It is known that mathematics problems in the humanities are considerably simpler than those in the sciences
If it were now, it would have long been drowned in saliva
"Yuanqing, you are back!" exclaimed Mom and Dad with delight upon seeing Qin Yuanqing
Moreover, he possesses a golden finger, equipped with a unique black technology academic system that is unparalleled in the world! As long as he works diligently, even if he does not become a scientist, he can still become a great entrepreneur
Dad, Mom!" Qin Yuanqing called out emotionally upon seeing his parents awake
They met in the first year of junior high school when they participated in an English competition together. Song Dandan is the class monitor of their class
In the past, he did not understand, but later after watching a video in which a professor from Fudan University spoke about philosophy and mentioned 'dependent origination and emptiness', Qin Yuanqing realized that a home only exists with the presence of parents; once the parents are gone, the home is dissolved.
However, it is important to note that over the years, the flying man has won countless international honors for China. He has broken world records, demonstrating to the world that people of Asian descent can also soar. He has instilled confidence in countless Chinese individuals and has reshaped the world's perception of China.
Mother, I have already finished eating; I just returned after dining in the town.
By a stroke of luck or misfortune, Qin Yuanqing found himself seated right next to Yang Yuqing, who, due to her relatively slender figure, occupied the middle seat
Qin Yuanqing was filled with guilt and regret upon reflection. His father had once been the most carefree man in the village, living without the need to work, having enough to eat and wear, and even playing mahjong in the evenings. However, everything changed after he said, 'Dad, I want to study. Are you willing to support me?' His father completely transformed, waking up earlier than the roosters and going to bed later than the dogs. He rented over ten acres of land and worked tirelessly in the fields with his mother, all to provide for his education. This was all a result of his own words, 'Dad, I want to study. Are you willing to support me?'
The outcome is that one goes to university, with all the pressure resting on the parents. Although the tuition fee is only 3,600 yuan, the total expenses including accommodation and living costs add up to a considerable amount over the year. Especially during those years when the situation was not favorable, when the weather was not conducive, and agricultural product prices were low, the parents' hard-earned income for the year was even less than 50,000 yuan, yet they never hesitated to support me.
Celebrate the championship, encourage after the defeat, and continue to strive next year
The magnanimity of such a great nation is unmatched by present-day China
"How has your studying been during this time? Is life difficult? You are all alone in the city, so make sure to take good care of yourself..." His mother expressed various concerns and inquiries about his well-being, but Qin Yuanqing did not find her talkative at all; on the contrary, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction in his heart.
One complains about low wages and high living pressures, wondering why they cannot live as easily and freely as people in Europe and America. However, it is important to recognize that their parents' generation endured even greater hardships and exhaustion, facing a level of despair that is hard to imagine. At that time, the per capita income in China and America was vastly different. Their parents had the strength and desire to earn money, but there were no opportunities available to do so
Qin Yuanqing stood quietly at the door without opening it, gazing at his parents. He recalled a song titled "Mother in the Candlelight" and the song "Father" by the Chopstick Brothers
Sports stars such as Yao Ming, Guo Jingjing, and Zhang Yining have become subjects of heated discussion among the public. Yao Ming, known as the 'Giant of Huaxia' and 'Mobile Great Wall of Huaxia', Guo Jingjing, the 'Queen of Diving', and Zhang Yining, the 'Demon King', each possess nicknames that resonate throughout Huaxia.
Qin Yuanqing wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Since he has been reborn, how can he live an ordinary life? How can he be content with mediocrity? A true man should live a life of grandeur and passion
Those who are annoyed by their mother's nagging will never realize that this is also a form of happiness
The three girls were in the car eating bread and drinking milk, but each of them was eating very delicately, taking small bites, which made Qin Yuanqing, who was accustomed to seeing people eat heartily, feel somewhat uncomfortable
My parents have embodied this saying, so every time Qin Yuanqing writes about the greatness of maternal love, he has never forgotten that paternal love is also great
Qin Yuanqing felt a deep sense of discomfort in his heart. He clenched his fists and silently vowed to study hard, so as not to disappoint his parents again
Upon seeing, Qin Yuanqing realized it was Song Dandan, who was a top student during middle school, consistently ranking among the top three in exams and often securing the first place.
When it comes to politics, it is an everlasting pain for Qin Yuanqing. In fact, he has a greater inclination towards the humanities, but due to scoring only 45 points in politics during the division of arts and sciences, coupled with the fact that the politics teacher was also the homeroom teacher, he was subjected to a severe reprimand from the homeroom teacher. Ultimately, Qin Yuanqing fell into despair, abandoned the humanities, and chose the sciences.
No problem! Since the other party has already brought it up, Qin Yuanqing always feels embarrassed to refuse and gets out of the passenger seat
A few days ago, they had a phone conversation with Qin Yuanqing, who mentioned that there would only be a three-day holiday for National Day, and that he would not be returning.
"It's nothing, just a small matter!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile, and then got onto the back seat
Regardless, it is not without its advantages; both girls perform well in politics, scoring in the nineties out of 100.
Unbeknownst to them, the car had already exited the highway and soon arrived at Yangjia Village. The three women were all from Yangjia Village, and the driver first dropped them off at their home before finally taking Qin Yuanqing to Qinjiacun.
Thank you. Song Dandan got out of the car, moved to the passenger seat, and quietly expressed her gratitude to Qin Yuanqing
"I get motion sickness, can I switch seats with you?" A very small voice came through
Indeed, parents do not owe us anything, yet we continuously demand from them, incessantly asking for more. Meanwhile, parents give selflessly without expecting any return.
However, by the time she reached high school, things were different. Song Dandan's grades could only place her in the middle tier. Later, she chose the humanities, as the sciences, particularly physics and chemistry, could be detrimental to girls who were not adept at logic, potentially killing countless brain cells. This could lead to significant hair loss every day, and even the possibility of premature baldness.
Have you eaten? If not, Mom will cook for you. Mother held Qin Yuanqing's hand, her face filled with a joyful smile
It is important to note that mathematics, whether in the humanities or the sciences, is always scored out of 150 points
However, he did not expect that the sports star most favored by the three girls was not Yao Ming, but the 'Flying Man' Liu Xiang. Unfortunately, at this Beijing Olympics, Liu Xiang, who was injured, withdrew from the Olympic competition midway due to his injury. Even now, there is still significant controversy, and many people criticize Liu Xiang
Unfortunately, at this time, although China has already become the world's third-largest economy, surpassing Japan either this year or next, it will become the world's second-largest economy. However, long-term insecurity, coupled with the widespread promotion by public intellectuals in the media, has left the Chinese people still lacking in confidence. Unlike the Tokyo Olympics, where regardless of Sun Yiman's withdrawal, Lu Yufei's mistakes and falls, or the table tennis team's defeat leading to Japan winning the gold medal, Chinese athletes tearfully apologized to the nation, the media and ordinary people only felt sympathy for their girls, encouraging them to keep going, rather than blaming the athletes for losing the gold medal. Regardless of Sun Yiman's withdrawal, Lu Yufei's mistakes and falls, or the table tennis team's defeat leading to Japan winning the gold medal, Chinese athletes tearfully apologized to the nation, and the media and ordinary people only felt sympathy for their girls, encouraging them to keep going, rather than blaming the athletes for losing the gold medal.
He also hopes that during the college entrance examination, guests will fill the house, and his parents will joyfully set off fireworks
Qin Yuanqing can only admire those who can achieve high scores in political exams. In fact, Qin Yuanqing is very concerned about current affairs and is also very proficient in history. However, for some reason, every time he takes a political exam, he feels that he has answered very well, but after the teacher grades the papers, it always ends in tragedy
Mother passed away from lung cancer after 15 years, leaving Qin Yuanqing in deep self-reproach. After his mother's death, Qin Yuanqing felt as if something had been lost in the family, and since then, he rarely returned home
However, Father Qin Yuanqing also felt guilty, as he was still burdened with significant pressure even after turning 60. Whether it was renovating the house or handling the monetary gifts, he had to bear the pressure himself, unlike others who could already enjoy their twilight years.
The result of my own stubbornness led to an obsession with novels, causing my scores in the college entrance examination to plummet, failing to even reach the cutoff for first-tier universities. My own willfulness made me unwilling to continue my studies, while my father had to persuade me earnestly.
It is precisely with this sentiment that Qin Yuanqing prepared his essay for the college entrance examination, titled "This is Also a Form of Happiness," in which he infused his own reflections.
After finishing the exam, the car finally got on the highway, and the topic of conversation among the group shifted to the Beijing Olympics, the breathtaking opening ceremony, and how the athletes from China brought glory to the nation, ranking first on the medal table and achieving the best results in history
Yes, this year during the National Day holiday, the first and second year high school students will have a seven-day break, but the third year students have a special arrangement, with only a three-day holiday, resuming classes on October 4
Tomorrow marks National Day, yet the sun is still harsh at this moment. His parents are sleeping on the lounge chairs, with the electric fan blowing. At this time, their home has not yet been equipped with air conditioning, and the heat seeps through the floorboards, permeating the room, making it sweltering.
No matter how poor one may be, one must not skimp on education; no matter how difficult life may be, one must not let children suffer
Heroes who bring glory to the nation deserve recognition and appreciation
After the three women finished eating, they began to discuss the recent examination. Song Dandan and Yang Yuqing talked about the liberal arts, while Qin Yuanqing engaged in the conversation intermittently. He noticed that the two women's scores were indeed not very good, especially in mathematics, which was simply disastrous, as even achieving 90 points seemed somewhat difficult. It was normal for students to score around seventy or eighty points when faced with slightly challenging math problems.
