Chapter 308 It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Aijun was not admitted to Northern Provincial Experimental Middle School because of a difference of 2 points. He was depressed and hid in his room and didn't want to go out. When people in support of the army and strengthening the army invited him to play basketball in the gymnasium, he covered his head with a quilt and ignored them.
When Junhua found out, she walked in and yelled, "Aijun, you idiot. What's so special about the Provincial Experimental Middle School? The Provincial No. 1 Middle School isn't bad either. Gao Weizhe and I are both top students from the Provincial No. 1 Middle School and we can still get into a good university. Don't you want to be our alumni?"
Gao Weizhe said: "My dear brother Aijun, Junhua is right. School is not important. What is important is to study hard. The process is not important. The most important thing is to get into your ideal university."
Junhua said: "What's so good about the Provincial Experimental Middle School? Once you get in, you're just a learning machine under the strict supervision of the teacher. You don't have any freedom at all. Even if they invite me to go, I won't go."
Yongjun said, "Aijun, don't feel inferior. Qiangjun and I ranked last in the provincial experimental middle school in terms of our admission scores. There is nothing to be proud of. I am worried that I can't keep up."
Junhua pulled Aijun's quilt and said, "Aijun, as the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Just be a "head of a chicken" in the No. 1 Middle School of the province. Don't be depressed anymore. It's useless to be anxious and blame yourself."
Qiangjun said, "Brother Yongjun, how about we ask Dad to help us transfer to the Provincial No. 1 Middle School to study in high school, so that the three of us don't have to go to school separately."
Aijun threw back the quilt, got out of bed and said, "The reason I'm unhappy is that I don't want to be separated from my brother Yongjun and my brother Qiangjun. Now I've figured it out.
You two go to the Provincial Experimental Middle School, and I go to the Provincial No. 1 Middle School. The teaching models and methods of the two schools are definitely different. When the time comes, we can communicate with each other and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. Wouldn't that be better? Hehe."
Qian Yizheng stood outside the door, listening silently to the children's conversation, feeling deeply gratified. The children were growing up day by day and each had their own thoughts, opinions, and action goals.
"Children, I heard your conversation. Mom is very happy from the bottom of my heart. To celebrate my son's success in the high school entrance examination, how about rewarding him with a free trip to five cities in East China?" Qian Yizheng said lovingly.
Support the army, love the army, and strengthen the army, all shouting: "Good, mother is great."
Junhua asked: "Mom, is there a place for us sophomores? I really want to go!"
Qian Yizhen said, "Yes, yes, yes. When you are all on summer vacation, we will go together. However, there is a mission, and a travel diary is required. Before you leave, write a detailed travel guide and give it to me."
When Junyan, Junge, Feiyan, Feixiang, Boxiang, Bowen, Xiangxiang and Ganggang learned that there would be a tour to five cities in East China during the summer vacation, they were not willing to be left behind and resolutely signed up.
Qian Yizhen called Zhang Meijuan, the manager of Minzhen Enlightenment Company, and asked her to notify the travel agency to arrange the children's summer vacation tour to East China.
Wang Min called Qian Yizhen and said, "I'll take advantage of the children and take them on a tour of East China during the summer vacation. I've also spent a lot of money to buy a high-end camera so I can take good travel photos for the children, hehe."
Qian Yizhen said: "That's great. I feel more at ease with you, the "chicken leader", leading the children on the trip. Hahaha."
Support the army, love the army, and strengthen the army. Under the guidance of tour guide Zhang Rui, a detailed travel plan and route map were developed, and the children also prepared their travel bags early.
Summer vacation is coming soon, and the children are finally looking forward to the day of group travel. For safety reasons, Cui Qinghe was asked to participate in this trip, first as a co-pilot to ensure driving safety, and second as a bodyguard to ensure the safety of accommodation, attractions, etc.
At seven o'clock in the morning, a tourist bus stopped in front of the Chen Mansion. The tour guide Zhang Rui called the children to get on the bus. Junyan, Junge, Feiyan, Feixiang, Boxiang, Bowen, Xiangxiang, Ganggang and Maomao happily climbed onto the bed.
Cui Qinghe, Junyan, Gao Weizhe, and the people who support the army, love the army, and strengthen the army carried the large and small bags and the children's luggage onto the bus. Grandpa Lu Kaipu and grandma Chen Yalu stood hand in hand outside the gate of the Chen residence, watching the children board the tourist bus with great envy.
Wang Min, wearing sportswear and sneakers, looked full of energy. She got into the car, opened the window, waved to her relatives at the door of Chen's house and said, "Goodbye." The children also followed Wang Min's example and waved goodbye out of the window.
Professor Jiang Yuhan said to Qian Yizhen: "Wang Min is becoming more and more insightful as she grows older. She has found her own hobbies and interests."
Qian Yizhen said: "Yes, the ancients said that there are only three things in the world: your own business, other people's business, and God's business."
Grandpa Lu Kaipu continued: "My own affairs refer to those matters that are directly related to me, including responsibilities, obligations and decisions. When dealing with my own affairs, the key is to learn to let go and look at things in a broader perspective. Many times, we are too obsessed with our own affairs, which leads to unbearable pain.
Master Hongyi pointed out, "The reason why people suffer is that they are too obsessed, unwilling to let go and unwilling to accept loss." Therefore, when facing your own affairs, you should do your best, but you must also learn to let nature take its course, be calm when you gain, and be indifferent when you lose. "
Grandma Chen Yalu took over the conversation and said: "Other people's affairs refer to those things related to other people, including other people's lives, decisions and choices.
When dealing with other people's affairs, it is important not to interfere. Everyone has their own destiny and choices, and we cannot make decisions for others or change their lives.
As Master Hongyi said, "Other people's affairs are ultimately theirs. We can care about them, but we can't interfere too much." Respecting other people's choices and decisions and letting them experience and grow on their own can reduce unnecessary troubles and conflicts. "
Uncle Chen Haoyu smiled and said while leaning on his cane: "Things of God refer to those things that we cannot control and change, such as weather changes and unexpected events.
When dealing with God's affairs, the key is not to worry or interfere. Master Hongyi emphasized, "For God's affairs, do your best and leave it to God no matter what the result is." Accept the things that cannot be changed, focus on the parts that you can control, and keep a calm mind. "
Professor Jiang Yuhan said with emotion: "You three elders have reached the level of perfection in your understanding of life. I admire you very much. I must learn from you, hehe."
Professor Jiang Yuhan raised his left hand, looked at his watch, and continued, "I have to go back to the palace to pack my luggage. I will go to Beijing tomorrow to take care of my daughter-in-law Yuan Daoqin as she gives birth. Three elders, Yizhen, I will go ahead. Goodbye."
As the tour bus drove away from the ancient street, tour guide Zhang Rui began to explain the itinerary and precautions of the tour, with special emphasis on the importance of paying attention to safety issues.
Yongjun began to read out to everyone the detailed travel routes and attractions, as well as the knowledge points of each attraction, and asked everyone to listen carefully, observe carefully after arriving at the attractions, accumulate materials for writing diaries and essays, and complete the homework assigned by parents and teachers.
The detailed routes, attractions and schedule are as follows:
