From the rural love, many children and good fortune

After hanging up the phone, Xie Guangkun began to wonder, "I don't know if Yongqiang can pass this test, but since the Third Wife said so, let's give it a try."

He turned around and went to find Xie Yongqiang and told him exactly what Qi Santai had said.

After hearing this, Xie Yongqiang felt nervous. He was actually very afraid of failing the exam and being embarrassed, but he didn't dare to tell Xie Guangkun directly.

So he avoided her gaze and made an excuse, saying, "Dad, I haven't been feeling well lately and I don't have the energy to prepare for the exam."

Upon hearing this, Xie Guangkun widened his eyes and said, "Not feeling well? I think you are just making excuses! Yongqiang, this is a rare opportunity, how can you give it up so easily?"

Xie Yongqiang pursed his lips and whispered, "Dad, I don't want to be a cadre. I want to start a business like Li Tian."

Xie Guangkun said anxiously: "Start a business? Are you the same as Li Tian? Do you have money?"

Xie Yongqiang bit his lip and replied stubbornly: "Dad, I don't want to take the exam anyway, so don't force me. Otherwise, how about I collect mountain products with you?"

Xie Guangkun looked incredulous and stamped his feet in anger: "You kid, you went to college and want to buy mountain products from me, how can you be so useless!"

Xie Yongqiang stopped talking, turned and went into the room, slamming the door shut.

Xie Guangkun was so angry that he yelled outside the door: "Think about it carefully. If you don't seize such a good opportunity, you will regret it in the future!"

Xie Guangkun was anxious and decided to gather everyone together for a family meeting.

In the evening, the whole family gathered in the living room.

Xie Guangkun sat in the middle with a gloomy face. He spoke first, "I called you all here today because of Yongqiang's job. The third wife gave Yongqiang the opportunity to take the civil service exam. It's such a good way out, but Yongqiang is stubborn and doesn't want to."

Yongqiang's mother whispered, "The child is grown up now and has his own ideas. We can't force him."

Xie Guangkun glared at her fiercely: "What do you know! Can we let him do whatever he wants?"

Xie Lan hurriedly said, "Dad, don't be angry, let's slowly persuade Yongqiang."

Pi Changshan also echoed: "Dad, Yongqiang may not quite understand the benefits of this."

Xie Guangkun raised his voice: "Benefits? Need I explain? Civil servants have stable jobs, good benefits, and you can also be proud when you tell others about it. If Yongqiang passes the exam, he will be able to hold his head up high in the village in the future."

Xie Yongqiang sat in the corner, head down and silent.

Xie Lan walked up to Xie Yongqiang and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Yongqiang, listen to me, taking the civil service exam is really a good choice."

Xie Yongqiang raised his head and said stubbornly: "Sister, I don't want to live a life that I can see the end of at a glance. I want to make my own way."

Pi Changshan then advised: "Yongqiang, your brother-in-law works in a school and knows how difficult this job is. Without a formal organization, you are restricted in many ways. If you can pass the civil service exam, it will be different."

Xie Yongqiang retorted: "Brother-in-law, everyone pursues different things. I don't want to give up my dream for the so-called stability."

Xie Guangkun slammed the table and said, "Dream? Can your dream be used to make a living? Starting a business is not that easy, do you think it's just playing house?"

Xie Yongqiang also became excited: "Dad, I know it's difficult to start a business, but I am willing to try. Even if I fail, I won't regret it."

Seeing that the father and son were getting more and more excited, Yongqiang's mother quickly said, "Stop arguing and talk nicely."

Xie Lan said: "Yongqiang, you are a college student, you can't collect mountain products with your father. You can't go to college for nothing. It's not easy for your father to support you to go to college."

Xie Yongqiang was silent for a while, then said, "Sister, I know you are all doing this for my own good, but I am really not interested in taking the civil service exam. I just want to collect mountain produce with my father and set up an agricultural and sideline products company."

Xie Guangkun snorted coldly: "Buying mountain products from me? An agricultural and sideline products company? What can you come up with? It's nothing but nonsense."

Pi Changshan thought for a moment and said, "Yongqiang, how about this? You should first try to prepare for the civil service exam, while at the same time not delaying your planning for starting a business. If you pass, you will have many options; if you fail, you can focus on starting a business. What do you think?"

Xie Yongqiang hesitated for a moment and did not answer. He was still afraid of being embarrassed if he failed the exam.

Xie Guangkun quickly said, "Changshan's idea is good, Yongqiang, just listen to me this time."

Xie Yongqiang still shook his head: "Dad, I don't want to take care of both sides. In the end, I won't be able to do anything well."

The family was once again caught up in an argument, each expressing their own opinions. The atmosphere was tense and solemn.

After a while, Xie Lan said, "Yongqiang, just think of it as a way to reassure your father and give it a try. If you really pass the exam, it won't do you any harm."

As soon as Xie Lan finished speaking, Pi Changshan immediately said, "Yongqiang, your sister is right. Just give it a try. Don't let everyone down."

Yongqiang's mother also advised: "Son, everyone is doing this for your own good, so don't be stubborn."

Xie Guangkun raised his voice even more: "Look at you, you don't even have this much courage, and you still say you want to start a business. I think you are just afraid of being embarrassed if you fail the exam!"

Pi Changshan rolled his eyes and said mockingly, "Yongqiang, you are afraid to take the test, aren't you a coward? You are a grown man, but you don't even have the courage to try?"

Xie Yongqiang glared at Pi Changshan angrily: "Brother-in-law, why do you say that? I'm not a coward, I have my own plans!"

Pi Changshan curled his lips: "Do you have a plan? I think you are afraid of facing failure and dare not take this step."

Xie Yongqiang was so angry that his face turned red: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing this, Xie Lan quickly pulled Pi Changshan and said, "Say less and don't add fuel to the fire!"

Yongqiang's mother also said anxiously: "Stop arguing and talk it over."

Xie Guangkun interrupted at this time: "Changshan is right, Yongqiang, you are too cowardly!"

Hearing Xie Guangkun's words, Xie Yongqiang's face turned red instantly.

He stood up suddenly and said loudly, "Okay! I'll take the test! I'll prove to you that I'm not afraid of failing!"

For a moment, the living room fell silent.

Xie Guangkun was stunned for a moment, then said: "That's right, son! Prepare well and don't let us down."

Xie Yongqiang sat down angrily and stopped talking.

From that day on, Xie Yongqiang began to prepare for the exam intensively.

I get up early every day to recite and do exercises, and then review until late at night.

But he was always holding a grudge in his heart, and the pressure was growing.

During the preparation process, Xie Yongqiang would often become anxious and restless because he could not solve a difficult problem or because he got unsatisfactory results in a mock exam.

He was afraid that he would fail the exam as everyone said, and he felt nervous and anxious.

Seeing her son working so hard, Yongqiang's mother said distressedly, "Yongqiang, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best."

Xie Yongqiang just nodded silently and continued to study hard.
