Chapter 102: Future Choice

Not only was Chaochao good at her studies, she was also beautiful. Most importantly, she was beautiful and even kind-hearted. Therefore, she had always been a hot topic in the village. Many people had already gotten matchmakers to talk to Xie Zhou, hoping that he would agree to an arranged betrothal.

However, Xie Zhou was not thinking about these. Compared to this small village, he hoped that his daughter could find a way out and explore the outside world. It would be best if she could make a name for herself in the big city in the future.

Firstly, it was education. As an experienced person, Xie Zhou’s first reaction was to let Chaochao go to a top-ranked high school in a large province. He knew that Chaochao’s academic results were outstanding, so it was not difficult for her to get in. As for her daily life, he did not lack that money now. He could completely afford it.

Hence, Xie Zhou told the two of them about his thoughts. The old man actually agreed with him. After all, the provincial capital was not like the countryside. All these years, he had taught Chaochao everything he knew. It was good to let the child go out and explore the world as soon as possible. However…

“No,” Chaochao objected.

This answer surprised Xie Zhou. Chaochao had always been very obedient. Why was she suddenly so resistant?

“Chaochao, listen to me. This is all for your own good…” Xie Zhou tried to persuade his daughter.

“No… I can just go to the high school in the county. Why must I go so far away?” Chaochao said resentfully.

“Why? It’s all for your future! There’s no room for discussion. You have to listen to me!”

“I don’t want to. If I go to the city, I won’t be able to see my friends. I don’t want to do this!” Chaochao looked like she was about to cry.

“You!” Xie Zhou panicked. He did not expect his daughter to be so immature in this aspect.

No doubt, her academic results were not bad, but Xie Zhou felt that the little girl should explore more of the world. She should not be cooped up in such a village. Although the village had gradually developed, the world was so big, and there was far more to explore than just this village…

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He subconsciously wanted to hit her, but the old man stopped him.

“What are you trying to do? Are you out of your mind?!”

The old man’s words immediately calmed Xie Zhou down. Indeed, he had been a little impulsive recently. He really hoped that Chaochao could have a bright future.

“Chaochao, are you willing to listen to Grandpa?” The old man said calmly.

“Yes…” Chaochao still listened to her grandpa. Over the years, one of the people she respected the most was her grandpa.

“Chaochao, do you think that you won’t be able to see your friends after you go to school in the provincial city?”

“Yes…” Chaochao nodded.

“Chaochao, I can understand how you feel, but the idiom Grandpa wants to tell you today is, ‘All good things must come to an end’. Do you understand?”

“But… I don’t want it to end…” Chaochao said sadly.

“That’s right, no one wants to. However, this is how life is. It’s a journey of constant loss and gain. It’s like a river. If it flows forward, it will take away countless things, be it people or things…”

“What if I just don’t want to lose these things?”

“Yes, of course you can do that. But from my experience, if you insist on doing this, not only will you fail to obtain new things, you will also lose a lot of things, many of which are even very important to you… Of course, the final choice is up to you. It’s just that Chaochao, if your father only holds on to those things from the past, he wouldn’t have been able to give you a good life. You have to know this…”

Although the old man told the girl a lot more later on, the amazing thing was that the girl surprisingly listened to everything he said.

Chaochao was thinking. In the end, after two days of pondering, Chaochao eventually came to her father and said solemnly, “Dad, I’ve decided. I’ll go to school in the provincial city!”
