Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

After Tao Huayu finished what he had to say, Qinglei's father anxiously asked about registration, wanting to send the child over quickly.

Tao Huayu said: "Usually, we apply for a full term of six months, but in Qinglei's situation, we only study for three and a half months."

Then he helped calculate the food and accommodation, the consumption of painting materials, and the tuition fees for cultural classes during the training camp, and said, "It must be at least 20,000."

When Qinglei's father heard the price, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time and hesitated in his heart.

The family sat together in the evening, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy, as if what was decided was not Tao Qinglei's fate, but the fate of their family.

Finally, Qinglei’s father gritted his teeth and said, “Learn!”

He figured out that there might only be one chance to have love in this life.

When he was Qinglei's age, he liked musical instruments. At that time, a male classmate in the class came over with a guitar on his back, and he followed suit and played a few guitars. He was fascinated by the sound that could be both deep and deep, as well as high and clear.

The only musical instrument store in town, the quality of the guitars was not very good, costing less than 200 yuan each. He wanted it, but his parents rejected him mercilessly.

Later, during the Chinese New Year, I saved up the New Year's money given by my relatives at home, as well as the pocket money given by the elderly when I helped my grandparents sell vegetables. I saved it for nearly a year and finally got more than 100 yuan. Later, his grandma secretly collected some for him, and then he bought the guitar back.

He didn't dare to take it home, so he hid it at his grandma's place.

That day, when he was holding his guitar and preparing to practice with the book given by his boss, his parents discovered him and asked him if he had secretly taken the money, and then forced him to return the guitar.

It's all because they don't have money.

Qinglei's father thought that his youngest son liked painting so much. At first, his family thought it was too expensive and didn't spend the money to send him to school, so he created the conditions to learn on his own. He was reluctant to spend even a dime of the pocket money he usually gave him, and he saved all of it to buy things for painting. Such a thick book, I drew one after another.

Qinglei's father vaguely felt that helping his son realize this dream was like going back in time and helping himself at that time.

Tao Qingxin now has some savings. He is not a selfish person. He doesn't want his parents to bear so much pressure after working hard for half his life, so he paid more than half of it and gave Tao Qinglei three thousand yuan in pocket money.

——After all, he is also someone who wants to save money for his wife, so he still has to keep some for himself.

After the money was ready, their family of four went to the city together to sign up Tao Qinglei.

First sign up and pay the fees. When school starts in a few days, you have to go to the middle school and talk to the class teacher. I don’t know if there are any procedures at the school. When the school gets it done, we will send him over for training.

The teacher who signed up had already been greeted by the boss, but she said something extra. Her original intention might just be to show the high-end and professionalism of the studio.

After completing the formalities, she sent Qinglei's family out with a professional smile on her face and said, "Generally, the advanced classes in our studio are not priced at this price. The tuition fee alone for one period is 45,000. Our boss is For the sake of Boss Tao, I give you such a low price."

She pointed to a painting hanging on the wall in the corridor: "These are all painted by students who have been admitted to Central Academy of Fine Arts, these are from China Central Academy of Fine Arts and Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, and these..."

After going out, the family of four came back to their senses after being exposed to the scorching sun.

Qinglei's father didn't say anything, just patted his youngest son on the shoulder.

Qinglei's mother told him: "Study hard! Do you know?" After returning home, the couple bought a bunch of things and took them to Tao Huayu's house to thank him.

Tao Huayu smiled broadly and said: "I really didn't expect that my face would be so useful, but in the final analysis, the studio owner is a nice person and cherishes talents. I see that Qinglei is a good seedling and I am willing to train him. If Qinglei really takes the exam, If you are on board, you are also promoting their studio, right?"

In fact, Tao Huayu got it in exchange for a discount.

When the boss wanted to renovate the villa, he originally wanted to go to him. He planned to leave all the hard and soft furnishings and appliances to him, so that he would not have to worry about it. Unexpectedly, Tao Huayu came to the door first, so I took the opportunity to ask him for a preferential price.

Tao Huayu was also generous and gave him a 92% discount on top of not overcharging. The conversion is almost equal to the amount paid by Tao Qinglei.

Of course, there is no need for people to know this. After all, he also made money from this order.

Qinglei's parents then went to Shen Nian'an's house to find Gu Qingyue.

After Gu Qingyue learned about these things, she and Shen Nianan sighed for a long time.

Now in Liu Wangxue's place, she said it again, still sighing: "So, at first, I only thought that Qing Lei's matter was a problem of poor information, but later I found out that it was not entirely the case."

Liu Wangxue thought about what she said and understood instantly: "Indeed, but this should be considered a result of the information gap."

"What riddles are you playing?" Tao Huaxin asked, "What's the information gap?"

Gu Qingyue explained: "It is a phenomenon of information asymmetry, which is quite common. For example, if you hear about a business that is very profitable, but the news may have passed by the time this information reaches you, if you continue You will most likely lose money if you invest.

For us, this kind of information is usually acquired passively, just like Qing Lei's choice of major. By the time he understands the whole process and joins the competition, others may have already reached the finish line. "

"But it is not an easy thing to actively obtain information." Liu Wangxue said, "You must have the ability to filter and process information to extract what is useful to you. The other most difficult point is how to Develop a sense of initiative to obtain information.”

"Correct answer!" Gu Qingyue said, "What I want to say is this question, a little thought triggered by Qing Lei's incident, so I went to the village committee for consultation during this period, and then visited the village.

I found that there are still quite a lot of children who drop out of school after completing nine-year compulsory education. Among those children who are currently in high school, very few have clear goals or plans for the future. After talking to them, I discovered that this confusion may not stem from myself, but from the unknown to the outside world.

Due to certain factors, I only know that I want to pass the college entrance examination, but what happens after I pass the college entrance examination, or what happens after I fail the college entrance examination? How should they develop? Some of them don't even have a vague idea of ​​these. "

This may be a phenomenon that will inevitably happen in a small economically backward county like Qiushui Town. If the economy is backward, relatively speaking, education will also be backward.

Liu Wangxue thought of the small county town in her hometown and heard Gu Xuelan say that people there still think that teachers, accountants, nurses and the like are the best choices. Even if the family's financial conditions are not bad, the choice of children's majors is cliché. Those categories.

It’s not that these industries are bad, but that society has developed to this day, and all walks of life are blooming, but these voices still have not broken down the barriers and spread.

She remembered that when she was in school, the elementary school teacher told everyone that it would be fine if they went to junior high school and they could play as they wanted. Then the junior high school teacher said the same thing, and the high school teacher said the same thing.

Some children really believe this, and when they get to college, all four years are wasted.

From elementary school to high school, no teacher has ever told children how to plan their lives, how to choose a career, and how to make effective efforts to achieve these goals.
