Novel "Jackie Chan" 55 - Komatsu narrates: Once again choose my life path

The next morning, my dad threw me a copy of the "College Admissions Professional Guide", which included all majors in all universities, as well as the analysis of the employment prospects of each major by education experts, and he asked me to study it at home today, calm down and think about it for myself, come up with a choice, and then talk about it after work in the evening.

I took the information, scratched my head worriedly, and said, "I hate the choice the most in my life, and you have made it for me." ”

Dad said, "No, you have to be interested in any major, how can you learn well if you are not interested?" Only you know what you're interested in, and we can't choose for you. Besides, we chose for you, and if you don't like it in the future and have to blame us, we won't do that stupid thing. ”

In the evening, the family meeting continued.

My father had a good temper this time, and asked me in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "After thinking about it for a day, what are the results?" ”

I leaned on the sofa with a sad face, my head resting weakly on my shoulder: "After watching it for a day, I was dizzy, and I didn't think of any results." I look at any major, but it doesn't seem to be a good fit for me. ”

Dad said angrily: "If you want to choose a major where you don't have to do anything, and someone will give you money while lying in bed, then you definitely don't." ”

My mother hurriedly warned my father: "Speak well today, don't be sarcastic and hit my son." ”

Dad immediately straightened his attitude, adjusted his mood, and spoke again: "Well, how about we adopt the elimination method?" Delete the majors you don't like, and the rest is not the one you like? ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's try it." ”

Dad asked, "Majoring in politics?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't like politics." ”

Dad asked again, "Major in administration?" ”

I shook my head again: "I don't like to manage people." ”

Dad asked again: "Major in theatrical performance?" ”

I rolled my eyes: "I don't like to show my head." ”

Dad asked all the way according to the table of contents of the "Professional Guide", and I didn't like it. I know that my father is unhappy, and I want to quickly set a major, but this thing can't be improvised, this is a major event that determines the path of life for a lifetime.

Finally, my father seemed to remember something and said to me, "Komatsu, haven't you always paid attention to your advantages?" ”

Over the years, my father criticized me all day long and never praised me, so when he talked about my advantages, I was very happy, sat up straight and asked, "Dad, what advantages do you say I have?" ”

Dad smiled and said, "When your grandmother was alive, she always said that you had a good brain, remember?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, I can memorize almost all the villain books that my grandmother read to me." ”

Dad said: "If you can memorize villain books, you can memorize legal provisions and cases, and I think you are eloquent, quick to respond, and good at finding faults in other people's ...... language." ”

Mom hurriedly interjected: "That's right, find fault with my speech all day long!" ”

My dad slowed down and said to me in an infectious tone, "You know what? Someone with your qualities is the most suitable lawyer for you! ”

I widened my eyes and asked, "Really?" Is law right for me? ”

Dad said, "Absolutely!" I'll give you an analysis, oh, your weakness is mainly English, in the international trade major, English is the main subject, in the past you have been using your weaknesses to spell other people's main courses, so you were wiped out when you took the exam. If you study law, foreign language is a secondary course, you can make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to your advantages of good memory and good argumentation, and use your strengths to fight for the main course of the law major. Maybe if you're not careful, you'll be able to become a top student. ”

I stood up excitedly: "Okay, then I'll study law, and you can wait for your son to be a barrister!" ”

In the days that followed, there was a relaxed atmosphere in the house.

Wei Xiaozhu's hospital bed has been vacated, and Wei Shijie and his wife insist on staying in a small hotel near the hospital, saying that it is convenient to take care of the children, and it is too hard to live in my house every day. My father felt that what they said was reasonable, so he drove them to the "commune health center" in Changping County, went through the hospitalization procedures, and paid a hospitalization deposit of 8,000 yuan for them. Mr. and Mrs. Wei Shijie are very grateful, and I think it is good for relatives to help each other in this way.

The notice of admission fee payment from BDO University has also been sent, which means that I can pay the fee and register immediately, and the overall situation of my re-enrollment has been decided, and there will be no more surprises. Although I can't go back to the international trade major I originally studied, it's a bit of a pity, but as long as I have something to study and I'm still a college student, then I'm very content.

The situation is clear, and my mood is much better than the previous days, I no longer always lock myself in the house, and I can often chat with my parents and discuss some issues.

That night, my mother and I were arguing about a topic discussed on the Internet, and no one could convince anyone, and just when my father came home from work, I hurriedly pulled the "united front": "Dad, you're back, my mother and she are so confused now, I can't discuss the problem with her." ”

Mom smiled and said, "Don't be a sycophant, your dad may not support you." ”

Every time my mother and I argued about an issue, my father basically played the role of a judge, first listening to the arguments between the prosecution and the defense, gradually forming his own opinions, and finally making a concluding speech to decide whether he won or lost. As soon as my father opened his mouth, he said that "the final judgment is not allowed to be appealed", because he has strong logical thinking and has more knowledge than us, so we all obey his ruling.

The issue we are arguing today is whether an event said on the Internet is completely true or not, and the premise of the discussion is: if this thing is true, what should be seen.

It is said that there was a candidate in the field who plagiarized an article by someone else in last year's college entrance examination, and this essay got a full score, which was originally a very proud thing, but I didn't expect someone to hang this article on the Internet. All of a sudden, the whole country was able to read this great work, including the original author himself, who found out that his work had been plagiarized, so he reacted violently, exposed the truth of the matter on the Internet, and asked the school to deal with the student. At this time, the student has been successfully admitted to a certain university, and if this matter is serious, the student's future is over.

Mom's point of view is that if you want to advocate justice, cheating should be punished, and the author did the right thing.

My point of view is: it is not easy for a person to be admitted to university, and this little thing should not ruin the student's future, and be kind.

After listening to our respective views, my father thought for a while and said to me: "If the matter is big, it will naturally have a serious impact on this student, but you can't just care about the future of this student, have you thought about it, because of his plagiarism, he achieved a false high score, and was admitted to a school that he could not have been admitted to, does it mean that there is an innocent student who could have been admitted to that school, and it is because of this plagiarism and cheating incident that the innocent student was squeezed down by the plagiarist, The result will affect his whole life. Is this kind? Is it fair? ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about this. ”

Dad said, "If the student who was squeezed out was you, would you still excuse the plagiarist?" ”

My mother was happy: "If you hear it, I know that your father's point of view is the same as mine!" ”

I retorted unceremoniously: "Forget it, how rigorous my dad's logical analysis is, of course I'm convinced." You didn't think about these questions at all, if your opinion is the same as my dad's, why didn't you say these things just now? ”

Mom said, "What I was thinking in my heart was the same as what your father just said, and I just couldn't say it for a while." ”

I stopped pestering my mother, turned my face to my father and asked, "Dad, it's really wrong to plagiarize other people's articles, but I still think that author is too much." It has already happened, and even if the school finally expels the student, the so-called victim student will no longer be able to enter the school, wasting a valuable place. So I thought, let this student admit his mistake and forget it. It's not easy to get into a university, and you can't ruin someone's life. ”

Dad said solemnly: "Some things can be forgiven, and some things cannot be forgiven." For example, if you accidentally break my beloved antique, I feel distressed, but you didn't mean it, it's not a moral problem, and I can forgive you; I can't forgive you if you lie and deceive people, and if you do not cause any loss. This is a matter of principle, and it has nothing to do with being kind or not. For the student who cheats, I think this matter must give him a heavy lesson, if he is easily let go, he will enjoy the fruits of cheating, experience the fun of cheating, and go to society in the future, once there is a suitable opportunity, he will repeat the mistakes of the past, such as plagiarizing scientific and technological achievements, defrauding others of honor, telling lies, making false accounts, and giving perjury...... In that case, this person will be even more likely to go to prison, and at the same time, it will also cause great harm to society. You say, which ending is better? ”

I sighed: "Unlucky candidate, you have no choice but to admit it!" ”

Mom was obviously very pleased with the relaxed atmosphere of the conversation between me and Dad, and with a happy smile on her face, she happily announced, "All right, this is the end of the debate." Adjourn and eat! ”
