    ?

    Thinking about it again, it seems that there is nothing urgent to deal with.  I looked at the time, it was past twelve o'clock.  I went back to the ward again and asked my sister to take my cousin out for lunch first.  Originally, I wanted my mother to go with me, but my mother's face was very heavy, as if she realized something, so she was determined not to leave her father even a step away.  I had no choice but to stay with my mother.

    Looking at my mother's haggard face, I was very heartbroken, so I said to my mother: "Mom, you can sleep for a while, I am here."

    Father still had a bad cough and needed to wipe up the thick bloody phlegm almost constantly.  I know that my father has not slept for three consecutive days, so I persuade my father to take a rest from time to time.  However, maybe it was because he was afraid that he would never wake up if he fell asleep, so my father kept holding on and refused to sleep no matter what.

    Not long after my sister went out to eat, I received a call from my father's second nephew, who is the child of my little aunt's family.  He is younger than me and is my cousin.  After asking clearly which ward my father was in, the cousin who ran the most to the hospital arrived soon.

    Father is most satisfied with his nephew.  Of course only now.  Originally, when all the nephews were young, my father didn't have much affection for my cousin.  Because my cousin was quite naughty and mischievous when he was a child, and his grades were not good.  Among all the nephews, this one was beaten and scolded by his father the most.  But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that this always mischievous guy would become the most emotional one among everyone when he grows up?

    The eldest nephew should be the most favored by his father.  Diligent and motivated, he was finally admitted to university and successfully found a stable job.  However, after getting married and starting a business, I never came to my house to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival.  We have a saying here that the uncle is the elder.  Therefore, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, in addition to greetings and blessings with the villagers on the first day of the new year, the first thing to go to is the uncle's house on the second day of the new year.

    Of course, with the deepening of reforms and the transformation of people's ideas and concepts, such traditional concepts and customs have been gradually weakened by people.  I remember that when I was young, I went out to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, and I had to walk for a whole morning.  At that time, regardless of seniority, almost every household attended.  Through the good wishes between each other, the warmth of the neighbors and the joy of the festival are conveyed.  Of course, when children go to pay New Year's greetings, they will give out candy.  At that time, the conditions were not very good, and most people only gave out two pieces of fruit candy.  But even so, after one morning, the big convenience bag in my hand will be filled with candies, which shows how many people I have to run to at that time.  Now, there are fewer and fewer people going out to pay New Year's greetings. Even if they go out, they only visit some close or close relatives symbolically.  If the current trend continues, I estimate that within a few years, the rural areas will celebrate the New Year in their own homes just like the cities.

    The ruthless abandonment of one's own traditional concepts and customs is undoubtedly the tragedy of the whole nation.  My father, however, was a stickler for tradition.  When my uncle was still there, as long as there were no special circumstances, my father would insist on going to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.  However, for the father, the sad thing is that when he insisted on visiting his uncle's house for New Year's greetings, his nephew hardly came to visit for New Year's greetings.  Among them, only one is different, and that is the second nephew.  Only this second nephew, who has never been favored by his father, still insists on coming to our house every year to pay New Year's greetings when no one else comes.  Therefore, the father's view of the second nephew is gradually changing.

    During the period when my father was hospitalized for esophageal cancer surgery, the second nephew went to the hospital the most frequently, and every time he came, he would bring various supplements.  As I mentioned before, on the day of my father's operation, the cousin who was waiting outside the operating room was my father's second nephew.  At that time, among his father's nephews, he was the only one present.

    Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect!  During the most painful period for his father, as long as he saw his second nephew appearing, he couldn't help showing a warm smile.

    The mistake of judging his nephew can be said to be the sorrow of his father.  But, is it only the father who is sad?  Those who are mischievous are not good, but those with excellent grades are definitely good.  This has become the mainstream standard for judging a child in our society today.  Why did this very unscientific method of evaluation become mainstream?  Isn't such a question enough to cause us to think deeply?

    I am not an expert, let alone an authority. What I say below is just some of my life insights.  It is very likely that it is a glimpse of the leopard, which is biased, but I still have a feeling that I can't vomit.  It seems to me that the bad standards of judgment which prevail in society at present are entirely due to the failure of education.  Although our country has long held high the banner of quality education, but how much can really be achieved.  After several reforms, but how many schools canHow about guaranteeing that you have completely got rid of the shackles of exam-oriented education?  Maybe, I just live in a small place, and what I feel is not the mainstream of the whole country.  However, here, from elementary school to high school, from school leaders to ordinary teachers, from parents to children, there are very few people who do not pay attention to academic performance.  The most frightening thing is that in the eyes of most people, all they see is their children's academic performance.

    Tutoring, tutoring.  In order to improve children's academic performance, not only parents, but also schools attach great importance to "tutoring".  Therefore, Jiangsu's "five strict" policy in the education sector in order to cooperate with quality education has suddenly become a laughing stock.  Anyway, in our high school, weekend school make-up classes have become the norm.  Why do schools have to make up lessons against the wind?  To put it bluntly, it is not to improve students' academic performance.  Although it violated the regulations, the starting point of the school leaders is to improve the college entrance examination scores, so as to win glory for the school and the local area.  Therefore, instead of being criticized and punished, such violations will be covered up and maintained by the higher authorities.  Over time, the entire high school has returned to the original reform origin of only pursuing scores.

    ?As a window of education, schools still pay so much attention to academic performance, let alone ordinary people?  Therefore, there will be only taking academic performance as the most important or even the only wrong evaluation standard.  But, is such an evaluation standard really good?  If it is really good, then the father's understanding of his second nephew will not undergo earth-shaking changes.  Wrong concepts and wrong standards kill not only the children's happiness, but more importantly, kill the children's development space and the future of the entire nation.  A nation that only pursues achievements but does not pay attention to others, and even ignores morality, is definitely a sad nation.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
