Maybe I can't have normal youth
Chapter 3 People who live for others
Graduating soon...I really envy those who can study abroad.
My biggest dream since I was young is to be able to travel around the world.
Studying abroad is the first step towards this dream.
So I always dream that I can go.
But, I can't.
I have received the admission notice from the Institute of Biology. I will continue to study protein structure immediately after graduation.
"You have to work hard to get into a good high school." Mom said.
Yes I did it.
"Look at our family, Bai'an, how good it is. We don't need to take care of it, and I read and study consciously every day!" Mom likes to chat with neighbors in the neighborhood every day.
"Oh, then you must be well-educated! Look at our Doudou, you know how to play games all day long! Hey, I told him how many times it was useless, I just didn’t listen, my grades were a mess. what!"
Then a smile appeared on mother's face.
——"Mom, this summer my classmate asked me to go to Japan to play." I begged when the second grade was about to end.
——"How can you do that? You play too hard! You are the other way round! What should I do if this delays your second-model exam after the beginning of school? At that time, the key high schools will not be able to pass the exam. Where can I put my face? Playing with that classmate, she will only hurt you!"
"You have to work hard and get admitted to a good university." Dad said.
Yes I did it, in the endless nagging of mom and dad.
"Well, it's great. But don't be satisfied with this little achievement. Keep going up and win glory for the Zhao family!" Although Dad taught earnestly on the surface, the proud look on his face could not be concealed.
"Very well, your daughter is the most promising person in the Zhao family. You are good at teaching!" Grandpa patted his father on the shoulder at the birthday party and said, "As my eldest son and granddaughter, after the real estate under my name, you will Genus."
Then a smile appeared on Dad's face.
——"Dad, I want to be a pastry chef in the future." I was the first to tell my dad after my second year of high school succeeded in getting my most desired career.
——"Are you joking with me? Bai An, how could my daughter read it from a key high school to go to college? Hahaha laughed." Dad agreed and laughed a few times, but more than crying Still ugly.
——"There is no difference between colleges and universities. One is technology-based research and the other is knowledge-based research. And no matter what kind of talent is needed by society."
——"There is no difference? You and I said there is no difference? Don't you even know this? Don't you laugh anymore, okay, Dad, I can't stand it! If you really go to college, we can get Grandpa's Legacy?!"
"~ You must have a sitting face when you sit, and a standing face when you stand! The legs must be close together, the steps must not be too large, and you must take small steps.
Yes, I did it now.
It took me a long time to finally develop this habit.
"Your daughter, I look like a little lady! It's not like our daughter, who doesn't listen to her, she always likes to cross her legs, it's ugly!"
This is the neighbor in room number ten again?
"Our daughter and daughter have no other advantages, but they are very obedient! Only obedient children can pass on all the things left by our ancestors." Grandma happily touched my head and said.
Then grandma's face also burst into a smile.
——"Grandma, I really want to go to a hobby class! I want to go to hip-hop." In the ignorant stage of Xiaoshengchu, grandma wanted me to learn a talent.
—"Hip-hop? No! How can you learn such a mess?"
——"It's not a mess, it's so handsome! Grandma, look!" Then I showed my grandmother my little accomplished spacewalk after training for a long time.
——"It's ugly, it's ugly! You twisted like an earthworm.
——"Calligraphy, Guzheng, and ink painting can only choose one of these three. I am proficient in each of them. You are my niece, and you will naturally like these things as much as I do."
"Bai An, my little Bai An~" Grandma called me kindly, "Wait for you to find a good job in the future and stabilize. I will find a good husband to marry again, and grandma will rest assured~"
I haven't been able to do this yet.
But maybe it's coming soon.
"What if I don't want to get married?"
"Silly boy, what are you talking nonsense? How can girls not want to get married? Marriage is the fate of every woman. Where can I get my children and grandchildren if you don't marry? I don't have any old ladies in the community!"
"It's just that I think maybe it's hard for me to really like others."
"Never talk nonsense! Hurry up! Pooh! Pooh!" The granny's face gradually showed dissatisfaction, "Besides, it's actually not possible for everyone to really find someone you like to live with. Who can do it? We are together. You, go to school at ease. When you work in the future, grandma will introduce you to the young man!"
Then grandma's face showed a relieved smile.
——"Grandma, grandma, I want to go abroad and settle in Europe!" I said when I was amazed by the Prague Astronomical Clock on TV as a child.
——"Going to die! Silly boy, how can you run so far by yourself."
——"I must be capable in the future! I can do it."
— "No, it's dangerous. Will you marry a foreigner by then? Absolutely not! And if you leave me, grandma will be so worried. Girls don't need to be so independent, I think, wait for you to meet When you get to the person you like, I will marry and live with peace of mind. Grandma, my biggest wish is to see you get married and have a fat baby."
"Granddaughter, my good granddaughter~" Grandpa talked to me separately after I was admitted to the university. "I heard that your university has a lot of scientific research achievements and cooperates with many biotech companies."
"Let's see if you can develop a biological research and development direction in the future? I heard that what target cell technology is particularly useful in the field of cancer? Granddaughter, look at it or you will develop in this direction, in this field. Get to know someone."
"But grandpa, I want to study abroad after I graduate."
"Study abroad? Impossible! You have to do what I said! Why study abroad?!"
"I want to see the culture of other countries, and I want to learn more..."
"Look at the culture of another country? Learn knowledge? How can I have the time to wait for you! Is the culture of another country more important than your grandfather's living a few years longer! It's not a shameful offspring!"
—— "Grandpa, I want to be a chef in the future!" I said to the grandpa who came to take me home when I was still in kindergarten.
——"Why do you want to be a chef?"
——"Because I think that if everyone eats the food I cook and then thinks it is delicious, I will be very happy!"
— "No ambition! What about your other classmates!"
——"Many of them want to be scientists, how is that possible."
——"Then you should also want to be a scientist! Don't think it is impossible, be a little ambitious! You have to explore the secrets of human cells, and then find a way to prolong life."
— "Huh? That's boring, I want to be a chef!"
——"No! I said you have to be a scientist and you have to work hard to be a scientist. Bai An, you are happy if you listen to your grandpa."
None of the students who said to be scientists when they were young have done it.But I, who had never had this idea, will soon become a scientist in the eyes of the public.
I have never felt how powerful these three words are, how out of reach.
But I did work hard for it.
Mom won the honor, Dad won the right to inherit, grandma won the face, grandma won company, and grandpa won contacts.
And I got everyone's smile.
I practiced Guzheng with calluses on my fingers, key high schools, key universities, and I looked at the admission notice from the Institute of Biology in my hand.That's enough, it still seems to be a good milestone.
