Due to epidemic prevention and control, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer did not stay at their parents' house for too long, and drove home after putting down their gifts.

On the way, Zhang Xueer, who was flipping through her phone, suddenly said, "Hey, look, Huanhuan's mother just sent a WeChat message to the group, and Huanhuan has disappeared."

"What does missing mean? Have you been kidnapped, or have you run away from home?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion upon hearing this.

"Huanhuan's mother said that Huanhuan left a note saying that she was going to the bookstore. But she didn't see anyone when she went to the bookstore. Now she doesn't know where the child has gone." Zhang Xueer explained, "Oh, I don't know if he got lost or was taken. It’s really worrying that someone has been abducted.”

Xiang Nan quickly advised, "Don't worry, the whole country is under lockdown, and there are traffic jams at all intersections. You can't take the child out even if you kidnap him. Human traffickers are not that stupid. In my opinion, the child should be able to walk by himself."

Zhang Xueer nodded and thought it made sense, "Actually, Huanhuan has been under a lot of pressure in the past six months. Her mother is now similar to Ziyou's mother. They are both crazy chickens, forcing the child to have no smile at all. She will It’s not strange to run away from home.”

"Then where can she go? For this child, where is the place she wants to go the most?" Xiang Nan speculated, "That's where she should be right now."

"By the way, she likes singing and dancing. She has told me many times before that she hopes to participate in a singing competition, but her mother is worried that it will affect her study and has always disagreed." Zhang Xueer guessed, "Is that where she went now? ah?"

"Let's go over and have a look." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Check online, where is the singing competition held?"

Zhang Xueer nodded, clicked on her phone to check, and then Xiang Nan drove the navigation and looked all the way there.

After arriving there, far away, I saw a child standing in the rain at the entrance of the theater.

When Zhang Xueer saw her, she immediately got out of the car, "It's really Huanhuan, she's really here."

"You should inform her mother to pick her up later." Xiang Nan grabbed her and said. "This is a good opportunity for mother and daughter to reconcile."

Zhang Xueer thought for a moment, nodded, and then called Nan Li, "Huanhuan's mother, we have found Huanhuan. She is now in front of the Yihai Theater in the city center. Come over quickly..."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhang. I'll be there right away." Nan Li said excitedly after hearing this.

Ever since her daughter disappeared, she had been searching everywhere, and her heart was almost broken. Now that she heard that she had found her daughter, she wished she could have wings and fly there.

…

Half an hour later, Nan Li finally arrived at Yihai Theater. After parking the car, she ran towards her daughter.

When Huanhuan saw her coming, she immediately turned around and ran away. Nan Li was so frightened that she quickly ran two steps and caught her in his hands.

"Huanhuan, please don't run away, okay?" she cried, grabbing her daughter.

"Why are you looking for me? You don't want me at all!" Huanhuan also cried.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could mom not want you?" Nan Li cried.

"The one you want is not me at all, you just want a child who studies well." Huanhuan complained, "You like me only if I study well. You hate me if I study poorly. You force me to memorize words. , forcing me to do exercises, forcing me to take tutoring classes.

I just don’t like these things. I only like singing and dancing, but you just don’t let me do what I like. You want a daughter like Mi Tao, but I’m just an ordinary child.”

"Mom is forcing you for your own good. You will understand this when you grow up," Nan Li cried.

"You always say you are doing it for my own good, but you never care about what I really want. I don't like doing questions, memorizing words, and taking tutoring classes...but you just refuse to listen to me.

." Huanhuan retorted, and then asked, "If I die, will you miss me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you want to do!" Nan Li was startled and shouted immediately.

"I started to have a fever last night. I felt unwell and had a stomachache. I checked online and found out it was ****." Xia Huanhuan explained.

When Nan Li heard this, she quickly ran forward, held her daughter in her arms, and touched her forehead, "Silly boy, you don't have a fever. Are you on your period? You will also have this reaction when you are on your period. Pneumonia is

If you have a cough, it’s not pneumonia if you don’t cough.”

"Anyway, please leave me alone. You also have Chaochao. Chaochao is smarter than me and will definitely study better than me in the future." Xia Huanhuan pushed her away.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you really have pneumonia, your parents will not ignore you." Nan Li cried, "Even if my mother dies, she will not let anything happen to you."

Hearing what she said, Huanhuan was finally moved and hugged her mother.

…

Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer watched from a distance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw mother and daughter finally reconcile and drive on the road.

"Look at what the education involution has done to the children now," Zhang Xueer sighed.

"In fact, our society has always relied on two sets of standards to operate. What operates in the society is social Darwinism, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.

In schools, absolute fairness is implemented. All students, regardless of differences in IQ, EQ, personality, and hobbies, receive the same education.

Therefore, children who come out of school often have to be severely beaten before entering society. In order to prevent their children from being beaten too badly, parents choose extracurricular tutoring. They hope that their children can win early.

Key junior high schools, key high schools, key universities...this way the chance of success will be greater." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "So essentially, it is not education involution, but social involution.

Now in our country, programmers over the age of 35 will be unemployed. People in their 70s and 80s cannot find a job at all. But if you go abroad and look, there are many coders in their 50s and 60s. 7

The eighty-year-old man still sticks to his post.

In the final analysis, China's labor force is too abundant, but its per capita resources are too few. If you want to survive, you can only compete. If you want to live well, you must climb up.

This kind of involution is unavoidable and inevitable. Just one or two insightful people cannot change the overall situation." Xiang Nan waved his hands.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that Huanhuan's mother realized her mistake and stopped going crazy." Zhang Xueer was stunned for a while, then smiled.

She admitted that what Xiang Nan said made sense. But if a parent stopped the chicken baby, she would be very happy.

"It's just a temporary lack of success. After three years, it will be the high school entrance examination. After the high school entrance examination, it will be the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, it will be employment. After employment, it will be marriage and childbirth... It will be difficult to pass." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Unless...

Admit from the bottom of your heart that your child is a mediocre child, otherwise the chicken baby will never be avoided."

After hearing this, Zhang Xueer couldn't help but nod.
