After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Think about it, Lan Qing and Chen Baoni’s eldest son Lan Yeming is two years older than Zhou Sheng. He is twelve years old now and is just about to graduate from elementary school and go to junior high school.

After hearing Lan Xin's words, Lan Yeming didn't understand Lan Xin's mind, so he spoke quickly.

"I don't want to study."

"what?!"

When these words were spoken, not only Lan Xin was shocked, but even Lan Qing and Chen Baoni were shocked.

Although both he and his wife had not received many years of education and only attended elementary school for a few years and learned a few words, which was enough to avoid being illiterate, they still hoped that their son would have a bright future.

Now, when she suddenly heard that her son didn't want to study, Lan Qing wanted to break his legs.

"Why don't you want to study?" Lan Xin asked with a frown.

She raised her hand to stop Lan Qing from hitting her son. She had to understand what the child was thinking first.

"What's so good about studying? Didn't my uncle run away to Shanghai while studying? Zhou Sheng was the same, he ran away while studying. I don't want to study. I want to stay with my parents forever!"

The young Lan Yeming did not have too many complicated thoughts, but he had his own ideas and logic. He defined the two incidents that happened at home as being caused by studying.

After all, he had heard since he was a child that Uncle Lan Xin abandoned his aunt and cousins ​​because he was admitted to university, and his cousin Zhou Sheng had been a good student since he was young, and his teachers praised him for his great prospects, so he wanted to run to Shanghai to find his father and abandon his mother.

These things all have one thing in common, and that is because of reading.

So in the simple-minded Lan Yeming's mind, studying = becoming bad = abandoning his family. He didn't want to become bad, nor did he want to abandon his family, so he didn't want to go to school.

Lan Yeming actually had such ridiculous logic in his mind that Lan Qing and Chen Baoni felt both warm and touched.

You can say that he was naughty and disobedient, but his original intention was not to leave his parents. At heart, he is still a filial child, but it is difficult to praise him.

This kid is so stupid and has no brains.

Lan Qing and Chen Baoni are not the kind of parents who are afraid that their children's wings will become too big and fly away and never come back, so they decide to clip their wings.

Their original intention was for their children to have a good future, to be successful, and to bring honor to their Lan family!

"Silly child, what are you talking about? It's their fault. What does this have to do with studying? You better study hard. If you don't, I'll break your legs!"

Lan Qing, who was not good at speaking, waved his hand and used his usual threats to educate him.

"Why doesn't it matter?"

Lan Yeming said this with a pout, obviously disagreeing with Lan Qing's statement.

I guess deep down I still agree with my own logic.

Lan Xin felt somewhat relieved that she had discovered Lan Yeming's little thoughts. If she had waited for him to approve of the idea and take practical action, but not learn or resist learning, and only discovered it after a while, it would have been too late.

"Yeming, look after your aunt."

She was not angry and looked at Lan Yeming with gentle eyes.

Lan Yeming felt a little nervous and looked at Lan Xin with flickering eyes, fearing that what he had just said, mentioning his uncle and cousin, would hurt his aunt.

"Yeming, tell your aunt, will you be a bad boy? Will you be a bad boy who abandons his wife, daughter and parents?" Lan Xin asked him.

"I'm not!"

Lan Yeming spoke loudly without thinking.

He will not be like his cousin who doesn't want his parents, nor will he be as irresponsible as his uncle. He wants to be a man who stands tall and proud!

"That's it. You are you, and you can't become them. Why do you resist learning? Learning makes you a better person, broadens your mind, helps you learn knowledge, and lets you see the world. Why do you think that as long as you study you will become like them?"

"Is studying bad? There are so many people who study hard, have a promising future, and have the ability to contribute to society. Why do you want to learn from Zhou Rongxin and Zhou Sheng instead of these people?"

Lan Xin's gentle gaze penetrated into Lan Yeming's young and ignorant heart inch by inch, making him think from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that what my aunt said makes some sense.

He doesn't want to learn from Zhou Sheng and the others!

"But, but studying means leaving home. Just like my uncle, when he was in high school, he lived in the city and could only go home a few times a month."

Lan Yeming expressed his doubts and provided evidence.

"Children will always leave their parents, and fledglings will always spread their wings and fly high. As long as they don't forget where their roots are and where their parents are, they will care about them in their hearts, miss them, and come back often to accompany them." Lan Xin could only explain it this way.

"Yes, yes, we don't need you to accompany us all the time. When you grow up, just come back to see us more often." Lan Qing said.

"But I don't want to leave you." Lan Yeming said with his eyes lowered, his long eyelashes sweeping downwards, revealing a sense of fragility.

Before, his parents were not at home and went to Shanghai. That half month was the most terrifying half month for him. He couldn’t eat or sleep well, and he even didn’t want to go out to play. His younger brother and sister would cry in their sleep at night, saying they missed their parents.

He also misses his parents, doesn't want to leave them, and wants to be with them forever.

"Yeming, you have to understand that if you don't have the ability to study and go out into the world, and you stay at home with your parents, you should follow your heart and accompany them, or you should be forced to stay at home with them because you don't have the ability or the talent to go out."

Looking at Lan Yeming who lowered his eyes, Lan Xin tempted him patiently.

"I definitely want to accompany my parents from the bottom of my heart! It's not that I have no ability and can only stay at home!"

Children of this age are all arrogant and feel that they can do everything easily. They are full of fighting spirit. When Lan Yeming heard Lan Xin say that he has no ability, he was like a furious kitten.

"Then you should study hard and use your grades to prove that you really love your family. You still miss your family now that you have the ability. You are not useless and can only farm at home."

After Lan Xin finished speaking, she looked at Lan Qing and Chen Baoni.

"You guys have to work hard too. Currently, there are only high schools in the city. Yeming doesn't want to go home once a month like his younger brother, so you can move to the city. That way, it will be just like attending elementary school. You can go home after school to see your parents and family, and go back to the village to play with other kids during holidays."

If children roll up, then adults must roll up too.

Lan Xin's suggestion touched Lan Yeming's heart. He quickly clapped his hands and looked at Lan Qing.

"Yes, Dad, let's move to the city in the future. This way I don't have to live in the school dormitory and can go home every day."

Lan Yeming's words made Lan Qing's face tremble. He gritted his teeth and slapped his restless feet.

"What do you mean by moving to the city? I asked you to study and you put forward conditions, right?"

Is it that he doesn't want to move to the city?

He is just a farmer.
