Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

This made Meng Jie, who had already adapted to the pace of education in Beijing, very uncomfortable.

But she was still very happy to be with her parents.

So, although she was somewhat of an oddball at school and had difficulty integrating into the group, she still maintained an optimistic and cheerful attitude.

And enrich their extracurricular time at their own pace.

Until her parents were called in because of this.

"Meng Jie is a very smart girl, and she studies very diligently. I have high hopes for her."

"Perhaps there were problems with your previous teaching methods in other places, causing her to spend too much time outside of class. If she could devote all her energy to her studies, I think she would definitely be a top student at Tsinghua or Peking University."

"Um, teacher." Zhiyi was also at a loss, not knowing how to explain to the teacher that they came from Beijing.

Furthermore, she has already made preparations to go abroad, and Tsinghua and Peking Universities are not Meng Jie's goals.

I tactfully conveyed my meaning to the teacher, and after a moment of silence, the other party's attitude became somewhat cold.

Zhiyi didn't pay any attention and took the child back home.

But in the following days, Meng Jie's mood suddenly dropped. "Meng Jie~"

That day, when Zhiyi came to pick up the child, she noticed that Mengjie's eyes were red.

"What's wrong? What happened? Tell Mom, and Mom will stand up for you."

"My teacher said that if I don't use my intelligence in the right way, I'm wasting my talent and I'll definitely not amount to anything in the future."

She also said that everyone should stay away from me so as not to be led astray and have their grades affected. She told everyone to study hard so that they could succeed and to learn from the diligent and hardworking classmates and take them as role models.

With tears welling in her eyes, Meng Jie choked out, "Mom, was I really wrong?"

Seeing her daughter's tearful, self-doubting expression, Zhiyi was so angry she felt like she was about to explode for the first time in her life.

His whole body was covered in goosebumps, like a hedgehog under attack, his hair standing on end.

Those bright, gentle eyes were filled with rage.

Where is your teacher, Ms. Fang?

The office door was violently pushed open, startling the teachers who were chatting.

Since I started working here, which parent has ever dared to come to my door in such a big fuss, questioning me as if I were accusing them of being nowhere to be found?

Teacher Fang, who was going to fetch water, happened to come from the corridor.

Upon seeing this, she immediately scolded, "What are you doing, Meng Jie's mother? What kind of attitude is this?"

"My attitude is this: I want to ask how your school educates children. Is it by punishing and discriminating against them to motivate them to improve? And how did you obtain your teaching qualifications?"

Ms. Fang was furious. She slammed the kettle she was holding down on the windowsill and shouted, "When have I ever attacked or discriminated against her? And what right do you have to criticize my teaching methods?"

"What right do I have?" Zhiyi laughed angrily. "As a citizen and a mother, why can't I question your teaching philosophy? What, are you some kind of saint who can't be questioned?"

"Good, good, good! No wonder this child does whatever he wants all day long and ignores what the teacher says. Turns out he has a good role model!"

“That’s right, I’m a good role model for my child.” Zhiyi said confidently, striding forward and asking domineeringly, “Didn’t you say that she doesn’t use her intelligence in the right way, wasting her talent, and that she won’t amount to anything in the future?”

"I told you, so what?" Teacher Fang retorted, her argument unconvincing yet defiant. "Was I wrong?"

Did she say something wrong?

Instead of using their intelligence for studying, they spend all their time thinking about extracurricular activities, doing crafts, playing games, playing musical instruments and reciting lyrics, as if they were taking exams on the Four Books and Five Classics in ancient times.

Will those things improve your grades? Will they help you get into a prestigious university? Will they make you a lot of money after graduation?

"I……"

Zhiyi was speechless; this was what angered her the most.

The other party was not deliberately targeting or discriminating against Meng Jie, but rather viewing the matter from a purely academic perspective.

They rejected Meng Jie's all-round development concept and scoffed at it, believing that she was neglecting her duties.

This left Zhiyi feeling helpless, angry, and inexplicably powerless.

Because they were worried that their daughter wouldn't be able to adapt to the environment, they specifically chose the school with the best recognized teaching quality.

Unexpectedly, this situation still occurred.

Therefore, she really shouldn't have refused Tongwei's arrangement back then. Did he foresee this day coming?

Having never truly experienced life at the bottom of society, Zhiyi's ideas are still quite idealistic.

She didn't understand how difficult it was for students from underprivileged backgrounds to strive for advancement, how fierce the competition was, and how much time, energy, and focus it would take to leap over the dragon gate.

In a time when the prevailing policy is to judge students solely by their academic performance, comprehensive education can only exist at the highest levels and is simply not applicable to other areas.

Even a provincial capital city with a decent economy still lacks the fertile ground to thrive.

Realizing this, Zhiyi suddenly lost the desire to argue with the teacher and calmly said, "Even if you don't agree with Mengjie's ideas, you shouldn't treat her by attacking, discriminating against, or isolating her."

She is exceptional, even more so than all the children you have ever taught; it's just that your narrow-minded perspective prevents you from recognizing this excellence.

After saying that, she took Meng Jie away without waiting for Teacher Fang to speak.

She needed to go to Qi Tongwei to complete the procedures and immediately transfer Meng Jie to an international school.

One can study diligently, even to the point of exhaustion, to make progress, and to strive for one's ideals.

But she hopes her child can grow up healthy, happy, and well-rounded.

The current situation means they no longer need to work so hard.

It was precisely because she had experienced the hardships involved that Zhiyi helped her child choose this path.

If she couldn't even provide a shelter for her child after a lifetime of hard work, then what was she busy with all those years, working tirelessly from dawn till dusk?

Chapter 891 The Pain of Growing Pains, the Opportunity to Break the Stalemate

"That's good. The education Meng Jie received was not universal. If we force her to integrate, things like today will happen again."

After finishing her call with her daughter and hanging up the receiver, Yingzi looked at her husband with a helpless expression, "It would have been better to let the child go out earlier."

"Young people have their own ideas, and besides, the child is indeed too young."

“They shouldn’t have taken the child away. The child was doing well here. Listen to what your daughter said. No matter what the teacher is like, they shouldn’t have bullied or isolated the child. What kind of teacher is that?”

"..."

Yang Jianguo remained silent. Many things don't happen overnight; today's situation is the result of a combination of factors.

If we want to change the status quo immediately, the national conditions simply don't allow it.

To catch up with the West's industrial progress of a hundred years in 20 years, it takes more than just workers to make sacrifices.

The entire country and all sectors of society are under tremendous pressure and burden.

When a country falls, the people suffer; when a country prospers, the people also suffer.

In particular, real estate served as a powerful driver of industrialization.

Even with Yang Jianguo's intervention and early intervention, the chaos was still difficult to contain.

The problem of pre-sales still exists in various places.

The only ones who can actually comply with the regulations and requirements set forth above regarding sales are probably the developers in the capital city, who have nowhere else to hide.

Except for Europe, which achieved industrialization through the Age of Exploration, skipping real estate.

In every post-industrial world, the starting point of industrialization is inextricably linked to the real estate industry.

Without exception!

The Miracle on the Han River in South Korea, the Showa era in Japan, and the American Dream in the United States all relied on the booming development of the real estate industry.

These countries have all experienced periods of devastating property market collapses.

When later generations look back at the so-called "old money," six or seven out of ten are related to the real estate industry.

This is the dividend of the times, and the beginning of the rise of a great power.

Initially, the government chose bicycles as its industry, and they also tried to obstruct the development of real estate as a pillar industry to drive comprehensive industrialization.

However, it was eventually discovered that even if everyone in the country owned a bicycle, it would still take hundreds of years to achieve industrialization.

At this point in time, the only high-value consumer good that can get everyone to actively participate in is housing.

Furthermore, it's not just the house price that generates profit.

It can also drive the vigorous development of hundreds of supporting industries. The various taxes and fees in the land, building materials, construction and sales processes generate extremely considerable profits.

With this money, it can be invested in infrastructure construction, urban renovation, transportation development, and related supporting facilities.

At the same time, it promoted the rapid industrialization of the entire society.

Although reality is harsh, real estate is indeed the best option for debt reduction needed for development.

When housing prices become too high, the government must get rid of the real estate burden, find a second pillar industry, and complete a second economic transformation in order to transfer the debt outward.

The company that will take over the business will either be in the shipping industry or the automotive industry.

Otherwise, the crisis of industrial overcapacity will instantly sweep across all levels, triggering a chain reaction of a complete economic collapse.

This is the only way for any country seeking development to achieve full industrialization.

The road was full of thorns.

Nowadays, Yang Jianguo can only turn a blind eye to the real estate farces that occasionally occur in various places.

In some places, it has even become the norm that as long as no one dies, people will be allowed to stay at home.

Labor pains are acceptable and unavoidable.

As long as we minimize the losses, we have already done our best.

This is also why Yang Jianguo gradually withdrew from real estate-related decision-making meetings. He was powerless to change or prevent it, so he could only choose to withdraw and avoid it.

However, this does not mean that he has completely abandoned his responsibilities.

Normally, the above process is an inevitable path for industrial development, requiring three or four generations to forge ahead, bearing heavy social pressure and debt, in order to complete the second transformation and enter the third stage.

At this time, after a long period of high pressure and a sharp decline in population, the benefits of transformation will truly reach all sectors and end up in the pockets of ordinary people.

However, there are exceptions.

For example, there was an explosive breakthrough in industrial technology.

picture--

Artificial sun.

If we can achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible and initially master the complete technology of controlled nuclear fusion, we can put it into commercial use and make the technology a reality.

Therefore, the Third Industrial Revolution will begin by disrupting the energy industry.

New energy sources, possessing advanced technology and holding an absolute monopoly, will reshape global capital.

At the same time, the huge profits generated will easily help the inland areas complete their industrialization process.

And it will directly propel industries toward the fourth economic transformation, which exists only in theory—

The new age of navigation.

Our goal is the stars and the sea, and that will no longer be just a slogan.

This is why Yang Jianguo was willing to risk falling into a coma in order to complete the 3D modeling and deduction in his mind.

These past few days, he has been busy proofreading and correcting the data on the letter paper.

"Are you going to be busy until the wee hours again tonight?"

"Ah."

Yingzi looked at him with some heartache, picked up her teacup and went to change the tea leaves for him.

Then, the person went out again, seemingly busy with something.

When he came back, he had a bowl of poached eggs in his hand. "Eat these to warm your stomach. I've already prepared the dough on the stove, greased it, and left it there. If you get hungry tonight, just pull it out and put it directly into the pot."

"Okay." Yang Jianguo took the bowl, looked at the five perfectly poached eggs inside, and said with a wry smile, "Are you planning to feed this to the pigs?!"

"I can't bear to use eggs to feed the pigs, so hurry up and eat!"

She knew Yang Jianguo's appetite better than anyone.
