The irony of a neighbor’s father: “It’s useless to go to school. It’s not as good as my son’s not going to school.”

Wen|Gong Ziyi

During the years when my brother and I went to school, it was very difficult at home.

It is not easy for an ordinary rural family to provide for two college students. At that time, the relatives in my family looked down on my parents. My grandma even said to my mother: "How much money do you have, you have to let your children go to school. Your sister or sister is not richer than you, and they have to let your children go to school."

Once, my father gave me one. The uncle in the distance works, does not need money, the kind of help. People asked my dad if he had provided for two college students. My dad said, yes. As a result, the uncle immediately said: "What's the use of going to college? It's not as good as my son who didn't go to college after he came out. It's useless to go to school now, it's useful to earn more money."

My dad said nothing at the time. But when he got home, he told us that at that time he felt that he was pricked by the other party.

Yes, in the years when we were poor and my brother and I struggled to study, the relatives in our family almost looked down on us.

because we have no money.


After graduating from my brother and I, neither of them belonged to that kind of very powerful person. I didn't find a very good job either. They belonged to that kind of ordinary people.

I have asked my mother more than once, but I regretted letting me and my brother go to school. As a result, my mother said: "I never regret it. Because my child is completely free from manual labor. You no longer have to smash your sweat in half in order to make money like me and your dad."

Let his son go to school, he felt that he could not afford a college student. That brother has been working outside. When we were young, their family had a good time because all three members made money.

Now, my brother and I both bought a house and a car in the city, while he still works outside. We have seen it many times. He still looks down on us, and feels that if he is really capable, he should mix in first-tier cities. What kind of ability to go back home.

My brother and I both smiled.

In the past few years, we have hardly contacted each other. In those years, the low self-esteem he gave to me and my brother and even my parents, after all, slowly passed away in the precipitation of the years, and there is no more.


After 20 years, I heard the same thing again. A neighbor's father in

mother-in-law's house said something like this:

his brother's child went to college, but his child did not go to college. After his elder brother's child graduated, he had no house, no car, no savings, and he couldn't marry a wife. Although his child has never attended college, he has made a lot of money in the past few years, bought an RV, and married a wife. Now, his grandsons are on their knees. And his brother is still struggling to buy a house for his child.

His brother offered his child to go to college. After the child graduated, he still wants to buy a house and a car for his child to marry his wife.

He did not provide for his children to go to college, so he saved up all the money. His children didn't go to college and saved a lot of money, so instead they had everything.

So he came to the conclusion that going to school is useless, saving more money is the right way.

But I really want to tell him: Sooner or later, people will have those material things in . And you will never have the things, knowledge and vision that others have.


When your grandson asks you and your son homework, you are always speechless, otherwise you are complaining about the teacher, whether you let the teacher teach the child or let the parent teach the child.

But your brother's children can talk in front of them, and they can talk about poetry and artificial intelligence.

When your grandson wants to enroll in a cram school and cultivate his sentiments, you and your son will only think that learning those things is useless, just a waste of money.

But your brother’s child will accompany the child to study and progress together. He hopes he sees the wider world.

old man, do you know? How many parents regretted when they were adults because they did not cherish the opportunity to study. They not only value their children's education, but also start to learn by themselves, because they know that sooner or later this era will be an era of knowledge. The

era is changing, and now artificial intelligence has replaced artificial. Your son has no culture and livesIt's already very difficult. Every day I get up and go to sell fruits greedily, and no one has seen an online shop sell as many fruits.

And you still look so short, even complacent with yourself.


is really , we should never underestimate the power of knowledge and culture. Go to school well, let your children go to school well, and constantly improve yourself. Because the wheel of time is moving forward fast, every time you slack and ignorant, you may be submerged by the torrent of the times and become the worst group of people.
