“读书,读书,每天读书,烦死了,干脆捡废铁去得了!”当我听到9岁的表弟不耐烦地嚷出这句话时,想起了父亲讲的那个故事。那一年父亲上初二,原本成绩优异的他,说不清为什么,成绩忽然像坐着降落伞一样滑下来。这着实给了自尊心极强的父亲一个沉重打击,他一连好几天把自己锁在房间里,整日不出来。结束“闭关”以后,父亲好像突然想明白了一些什么,于是向奶奶提出自己不打算继续读书了,他想像那个年代的许多温州年轻人一样,出门去闯荡一番,去挣钱。奶奶当场就瞪圆了眼,骂道:“我们家三代都是文化人,你倒好,说不读就不读了?想都别想!”野 “Reading books, reading books, reading books every day, getting bored, and simply scrapping away iron!” When I heard my 9-year-old cousin pull out this sentence impatiently, I remembered the story told by my father. In that year, his father was on the second day. He who had achieved excellent results could not tell why. The results suddenly fell down like a parachute. This really gave a hard blow to his father, who was very self-respecting. He had locked himself in the room for days and he wouldn't come out all day. After the end of “retreat,” his father seemed to suddenly want to understand something, so he told his grandmother that he did not intend to continue reading. He imagined that many Wenzhou young people of that era went out and went to make money. Grandma squinted on the spot and scolded: “We have three generations of cultural people in our family. You're fine. If you don't read it, you don't read it. Don't think about it!”
