Chapter 20 Ideals and Money

Hearing their son's answer, Lin Guowen and Yang Rong were stunned.

For a family of three in 2017, an income of 50,000 yuan was already considered the entry-level annual income of a well-off family, and for their family, it was obviously a lot of money, especially since Lin Guowen himself was a city official. He is a stock-level cadre in a certain bureau, and Yang Rong only teaches in a primary school in Jincheng. The combined salary of both parties is not high.

For Lin Xiao, this 50,000 yuan is obviously the largest income he has earned on his own since he was born almost 18 years ago. He can actually withstand such temptation, especially when they promise that he will only go there to study. Yes, there is still a monthly subsidy of 1,500 yuan.

You know, after the school rewarded Lin Xiao with 2,000 yuan last time, he happily accepted it, especially when he heard Lin Guowen said that the money was at his own disposal.

So, this confused the couple even more.

Of course, Lin Guowen also wanted to know what Lin Xiao thought about his son's thoughts.

"Xiaoxiao, are you sure? Neither your mother nor I want this 50,000 yuan. This 50,000 yuan will be yours from now on." Lin Guowen said.

Hearing what Lin Guowen said, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, but he soon became entangled again. Fifty thousand yuan, he had never seen his bank card balance reach 5 digits in his life.

But he finally said: "I won't go. Anyway, I believe I can make more money in the future."

"Haha, very good, very ambitious." Lin Guowen praised, and then said: "But dad wants to know why you don't want to go."

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm used to being in Jincheng."

"If you are used to being in Jincheng, you won't be able to easily earn 50,000 yuan in the future. Can you not go out just because you are used to being in Jincheng?" Lin Guowen shook his head: "As a man, you must have the ability to cultivate your family, govern your country, and bring peace to the world. Planning, and you are so smart, are you willing to stay in Jincheng from now on? The world is so big."

Father Lin smiled and said, "So, this shouldn't be the real reason, right?"

Lin Xiao scratched his head and said: "Okay, actually I am...well, I don't want to leave you yet, and I still have so many friends and classmates."

"This reason doesn't work either. When you go to college, don't you have to leave me and your mother? If you go to Xijing now, you can experience life alone in advance and learn how to communicate with your roommates. And you have friends and classmates here. After going to a new place, won’t you be able to meet more friends and classmates? Don’t you have more friends and classmates? You need to make more friends. You should have heard this sentence, right? ."

Lin Guowen looked at Lin Xiao's look and shook his head: "Forget it, you have your own considerations, and I support your choice."

Yang Rong also rubbed her son's head and said softly: "Mom also supports you."

Lin Xiao listened to his parents' words, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, actually I want to stay here, but I just feel that... the education in our province is unfair, and even ordinary high schools like ours cannot get it. Some better resources, so now I can at least help our school get some attention. If possible, as a student of Jincheng Middle School, I will become the provincial science champion next year. This can also help the school improve the situation, at least in the future. We can get some better sources of students or something.”

In getting along with Ding Ping, he has always seen Ding Ping's helplessness about the imbalance of education. For example, when he entered the provincial team in the league, he could only be rewarded 2,000 yuan, while in other schools, he could be rewarded casually. For tens of thousands of dollars, schools like those in Xijing can directly offer him these generous conditions.

Therefore, he chose to stay at Jincheng High School. In this way, at least he did not add another drop of oil to the phenomenon of educational imbalance. He also hoped, or believed, that this situation would disappear in the future.

When he heard his son's words, Lin Guowen was immediately moved. He didn't expect that his son could actually have such ideals and beliefs.

Such ideals and beliefs can already be called noble. This is what Lin Guowen, a party member, has always warned in the process of educating Lin Xiao.

People can do it for money, but there must be something in their hearts that is higher than money. It can be faith or ideals, but in short it must not be money. When this kind of thing conflicts with money, you should give up money.

He laughed, patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, and said cheerfully: "Okay, a real man should do something and not do something, Xiaoxiao, dad is proud of you."

Yang Rong's eyes were even redder. She covered her mouth with one hand, touched her son's face with the other hand, and said, "As expected of my mother's son, he has a lot of potential!"

Lin Xiao chuckled, lying in the arms of his parents, and then said: "Then... I lost fifty thousand yuan this time, can dad make up for it a little bit?"

Lin Guowen was startled, then laughed and scolded: "You kid, you've blackmailed me!"

…

Afterwards, Lin Xiao still received a reward of two thousand yuan from her father.

His father also officially responded to the school in Xijing, saying that Lin Xiao was unwilling to go.

A total of four schools contacted Lin Guowen, the High School Affiliated to NPU, Xijing Middle School, Gaoxin Middle School and Tieyi Middle School.

Among these schools, the High School Affiliated to Western Polytechnic University offers the best conditions. Of course, other schools also offer tens of thousands, and other benefits are similar.

When they learned that Lin Xiao had rejected the invitation, these schools naturally subconsciously thought that other middle schools had given better conditions, so some schools also inquired how much other schools would give, and they were willing to give more. As a result, they learned from Lin's father's words It was learned that Lin Xiao rejected all invitations from their schools.

This makes these schools a little unbelievable.

Why did Lin Xiao reject them?

They basically knew about Lin Xiao's family and the situation of Jincheng Middle School, so it was completely impossible for them to refuse them all.

However, there was nothing they could do about this situation. It was impossible for Lin Guowen to tell the reason why Lin Xiao didn't go. It might make people in these big cities laugh. You, an ordinary student with no background, could still Can you cope with the general social environment?

Of course, after knowing that other schools had not succeeded, the people in these schools were relieved, as long as their bitter rivals had not succeeded either.

So, this matter was finally over.

…

The time came to the Saturday of the first week after the midterm exam. This day was November 4th. There was only one week left before Lin Xiao went to Xijing to gather.

However, on this day, the senior students of Jincheng Middle School held a parent-teacher meeting.

At every parent-teacher meeting, a parent of a student will be invited to the stage to talk about how to raise their children.

The parents of the invited students are naturally the parents of students with good academic performance.

And this time, Lin Xiao's parents were also invited without any surprise. Yang Rong happened to have time, so she came to attend the parents' meeting.
