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

Lao Li listened to the advice and after settling the matter of Li Yu's transfer to another school, he rented a small apartment in the community to live temporarily and began to decorate his own house.

Anyway, he couldn't find any work now, and he still had some savings, so Lao Li bought his own tools and materials and started working on it bit by bit.

After years of hard work, he knows every step of the decoration very well, and he is very skilled in doing it, without having to rely on others.

By the time the house was decorated and ready to move in, it would be more than half a year later, and Li Yu had already been promoted to the third grade of junior high school.

Lao Li doesn't have high demands on him. He won't force him to do things he doesn't like, and he won't sign him up for some extra cram schools against his will.

It is completely up to him to decide what his grades will be. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Li Yu fails the exam, Lao Li can close his eyes and praise: "My son is awesome! How does this mean he failed? There is a lot of room for improvement!"

It can only be said that Li Yu was forced by the high-pressure policy before, and learning has become a habit, as if it has become a part of his body. Under his father's indulgent education, he still maintained his due standards and returned to the high school of the city's No. 1 Middle School.

During this year, Lao Li also made several new friends and formed his own engineering team.

He has returned to the optimist he was before, with a very open-minded outlook on life. He has no high demands, as long as he has enough food and clothing and a little surplus to give to his elderly parents at home.

Then he will lead this group of like-minded brothers to wait for work in the furniture city.

It is better to say that he is waiting for a job, but it is better to say that he is waiting for a job to come to him. Even if life came to his door, he and his brothers still had to weigh whether they could accept it, whether they wanted to accept it, or whether they wanted to accept it.

The days passed quickly and leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, Li Yu's college entrance examination was over.

Lao Li followed the trend and thought of giving his children a graduation trip.

The day after the exam, the two of them carried their bags and got on the train. Just like a quick tour, in half a month, I visited all the nearby scenic spots, historic sites, famous mountains and rivers in Wannan Province.

In the last few days, they went to Su City, and Li Yu immediately fell in love with the private gardens there.

Open the door in the morning and go in, and don't come out until it closes at night. Still not satisfied, I went there again the next day.

Li Yu took the new mobile phone his father bought for him, searched for it for a while, and then handed it to his father: "Dad, I want to learn this!"

Lao Li lowered his head and saw a few bold characters on the page: "Landscape Architecture? A major in university?"

"Well!" Li Yuwa's face was filled with yearning. He told Lao Li about the professional information he had just learned on his mobile phone.

Lao Li certainly supports his son's choice 100%.

At that time, there were still two days before the college entrance examination scores were released. The father and son sat in the Hefeng Pavilion and checked together the relevant colleges offering the major. They also made a preliminary selection based on the results of past mock tests and the scores of the colleges in previous years. .

Li Yu's favorite university is in Suzhou, but when the scores came out, they were lower than expected.

Finally, I was admitted to an architecture university in this province.

Lao Li has always remembered his son's disappointed expression in his heart. He was just a little short of a score. If he had set requirements for his child's performance and urged him from time to time during the three years of high school, would his son be able to achieve his wish now?

But it doesn’t matter, Lao Li thought. If you don’t have an undergraduate degree, you still have a graduate degree.

For this reason, he went out of his way to look up information to understand the postgraduate entrance examination enrollment situation of other domestic colleges and universities, focusing on those in Suzhou City. In addition, there were also prospects for this major.

When his brother asked him to go out for a drink, he still had the printed information on him, and he took notes while others were chatting.

The brothers came over to look at it one after another. Some of them didn't understand: "Brother, what scripture are you reading?" Those who knew the situation said: "Brother, I'm majoring in Xiaoyu University!"

"Not really," another person pointed at the key words and read, "Graduate students, application, acceptance rate, brother, Xiaoyu University hasn't even started yet, and you're thinking about him taking the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"What do you know? It's said in the news every day that academic qualifications are devalued. Brother, what is it called? Prepare for a rainy day!"

"In that case, studying as a graduate student in China is meaningless. It's better to study abroad and become a 'returnee' when you come back. Look at how popular those people are when they are looking for a job."

This joke was immediately ridiculed by the crowd: "You have never graduated from high school, and you still have the nerve to say that graduate school is boring. If you have the ability, go and take the exam."

“I didn’t say this, just watch the video and you’ll get it…”

Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, Lao Li took it to heart. After thinking about it, he held his phone and watched it all day long.

Finally come to the conclusion and go abroad! It seems that no matter what you study, if you go abroad to get rich, you will have a better future when you come back.

Then he took the time to consult with study abroad institutions to find out which schools were better and how much it would cost to go to different countries.

He didn't listen to what one agency said, so he visited several more. After returning home, he used his son's computer to learn to check online, and then came up with a "target amount" based on the standards for studying abroad in Europe and the United States.

He has only one mission for the next three years, which is to take on more big projects from Tao Huayu and save money!

Otherwise, Tao Huayu is a person worthy of friendship. Lao Li didn't tell anyone his plan, and he was vague when asking him for help. But after that, whenever Tao Huayu had any money-making projects, he followed him first.

Finally, after Lao Li had saved enough money, he couldn't help but reveal his purpose to Tao Huayu at the wine table.

Lao Li's initial plan was that he was afraid that a character like Li Yu would suffer if he could not take care of himself in a foreign country, so he planned to accompany him to study. He also signed up for online classes to secretly learn English, and he was dizzy after learning.

But since he came into contact with Liu Wangxue and the others, Lao Li could see a gratifying change in his son almost every time he saw him. Especially after following Wen Xi to work as a tour guide for a foreigner, he almost didn't recognize him when he came back.

He felt that as a grown man, how could he still use the excuse of going to the kitchen to cook, and his eyes got wet quietly.

And now, his son has received an invitation from a foreign brand to be a special designer.

Lao Li thinks this is a great thing, as he can exercise in advance and adapt to life abroad in advance.

If there is no problem and he can fully cope with it, then he does not need to accompany him to study. The most important thing is that he does not need to learn English anymore! What bird singing made him feel uncomfortable all over!

"Xiaoyu, there's not much else to say," Lao Li put some vegetables in a bowl for him and told him to eat quickly, "You must not give up this job opportunity, you must seize it.

Dad has asked about it. Not all foreign universities accept applicants, so it is best to have some recommendation letters when applying.

The reputation and credibility of this brand are so high. If you do this job well and ask the leader there to write you a letter of recommendation, wouldn't it be easier for you to apply for a graduate degree at a foreign university with half the effort? "

Xiaoyu's profession

I didn't check it when I first wrote it, but I just found out today

Landscape Architecture in English is an internationally accepted term for the subject.

This major has not been established in our country for a long time. There are various translation methods in different places, such as "landscape design", "landscape architecture", "landscape architecture", etc.

In 2011, our country only determined the name of this discipline as "Landscape Architecture" (a first-level discipline)

So I changed the previous ones and corrected them.
