After the banquet, everyone gathered in the back garden to enjoy the cool weather and eat fruits.
Several old people sat in a circle under the tree, fanning their big cattail fans and chatting happily.
The boys all hid in the air-conditioned room to play, including the big boy who was already the "father" - Xiao Huzi.
Chen Xinzhi led Xiaoxin over and said to Zhu Achun: "Mom, Xiaoxin and I are going out to play. Let Duoduo accompany you back later."
"Okay." Zhu Achun smiled lovingly and patted the back of Xiao Xin's hand, "Xin'er, I just saw that you ate a lot of watermelon. You can't eat ice cream or other cold drinks later, otherwise you will easily get upset."
Xue Xin stuck out her tongue and snickered: "I just...was thinking about eating chocolate ice cream!"
"Let's eat it tomorrow." Zhu Achun said softly: "Don't eat too much cold food at night."
Xue Xin could only nod obediently: "I know, Auntie."
Chen Xinzhi glanced at her fondly and said warmly: "Mom, don't worry. I will supervise her and don't let her eat randomly."
The two of them walked to the back door hand in hand.
Mr. Chen, who was sitting outside the elderly circle, saw how intimate they were and couldn't help but pull Xue Zhilan on the side.
"Um...is Xiaoxin and Achun's younger son...that?"
Xue Zhilan was eating grapes and couldn't hear clearly. He asked: "Which 'that'?"
Mrs. Chen glared at him and pointed to a pair of jade jewels that were leaving not far away.
Xue Zhilan was slightly stunned, and it took him a long time to react.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaoxin will only be seventeen in a month or two, and she is still a student. How can she be in love? Tietou is her brother, and he only loves her as a little sister."
Mrs. Chen shook her head gently: "Why don't I look like..."
Xue Zhilan hummed: "Your presbyopia is serious again!"
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Chen held up her reading glasses and explained, "I wear my reading glasses every day now. I never take them off except for sleeping."
Xue Zhilan laughed: "There are too many degrees, right?"
Mrs. Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and called Xiaohan to come over and eat bananas.
Xiao Han had a dark face and complained: "Grandma, Xiao Yue ignored me! He even called me stupid!"
Mrs. Chen laughed and said warmly: "You should call him 'brother', he is older than you."
"No!" Xiaohan pouted: "I asked him to help me solve a Mathematical Olympiad problem, but he refused and laughed at me for being stupid. I will never pay attention to him again! He wants me to call him 'brother' - Men
None!"
"Why doesn't he?" Chen couldn't help but suggest: "Let's go, I'll take you to him. Where is the question? I'll ask him to help you."
Xiaohan shook his head: "No, a good horse never turns back to eat grass. I don't need him anymore."
Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "Little fool, that's not how this sentence is used."
"I want it!" Xiaohan pouted: "He's gone too far. Calling him a fool has already given him an advantage. I should just call him a fool just now. He studies this and that all day long and is not expert in any one.
He can’t even do the Mathematical Olympiad anymore—it’s totally different!”
Chen Shihu asked: "How is it possible? Xiao Yue's Mathematical Olympiad scores have always been very good, and he is very good at solving problems."
Xiao Han snorted disdainfully: "Today is different from the past. If he is really powerful, he should be a hero, not to mention brave in the past. It was before and now is now. Who stipulates that a top student cannot become a scumbag? Sooner or later he will become a scumbag!
"
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense." Ms. Chen lectured: "He is your brother after all. You are not allowed to cross the line to teach him and scold him."
Xiaohan pouted in grievance and stopped talking.
Mrs. Chen looked around and asked, "Where is Xiao Yue? Where is he?"
"Studying in the living room!" Xiaohan replied.
Mrs. Chen frowned: "Why are you studying again? Weren't you still studying before eating earlier? It's summer vacation, why are you working so hard in such a hurry? The child doesn't even have time to rest after meals!"
Her sudden loudness attracted Xue Zhilan's attention.
He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Chen said angrily: "Aren't we all Ah Huan and his wife? They force their children to learn this and that all day long, without stopping all day long, and they don't have any rest during the summer vacation. Just after they had eaten, they immediately forced their children to study again. Now.
But during summer vacation, you can’t even take a break and eat some fruit at night!”
Xue Zhilan glanced at her and made a hissing gesture at her.
"I'll talk to Ah Huan later."
Chen was still very angry and said: "I already said it earlier, but Xiaoyi couldn't listen at all. Children nowadays are really under a lot of pressure. They are either studying in school or attending remedial classes and interest classes.
On the way. Children don’t have summer vacation or winter vacation, not even weekends. When they were studying, did we ever force them like this? Yes? You can ask Ah Huan directly later and tell him the best method and encouragement.
The important thing is that you don’t have to do some messy things all day long. Children can play when they should play and learn when they should learn. Will they not get tired of cramming a lot of things for them all day long? Sooner or later, children will get tired of learning, and in the end it will be self-defeating.
"
Xiao Yue, the child, inherited the excellent genes of his parents, and his academic performance in various subjects has been very good since he was a child.
Such a smart and diligent child does not have to worry about poor grades in the future.
Besides, my children are still in primary school, so are they studying so crazily?
If you are so busy and stressed in elementary school, what should you do when you go to junior high school or high school?
"Yes." Xue Zhilan nodded: "You are right. It's okay. I will ask him personally later."
Ms. Chen sighed: "...We don't need to worry too much...Maybe they will agree with their mouths, but in their hearts they will blame us for meddling. After all, they are their children."
"I am sensible." Xue Zhilan frowned slightly: "Xiao Yue has lost a lot of weight this time, and his face is not very good-looking. The child's spirit is poor and his body is not good enough. How can he learn knowledge? Summer vacation is originally a place for children to escape the heat and play.
It’s a good time, but forcing children to study all day long, how much good effect can it have? I can’t see.”
Mrs. Chen finally felt relieved and whispered: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Xiaohan waved: "Grandma, I went to find grandma."
"Wait!" Mrs. Chen held her hand and lowered her voice: "Xiaohan, grandma wants to ask you something."
"You asked."
Mrs. Chen whispered: "Your mother...did you tell your grandma what to say?"
"No." Xiaohan shook his head.
"real?"
Xiaohan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Grandma, what exactly do you want to ask?"
Mrs. Chen shook her head hurriedly: "Nothing, nothing. I just wanted to ask your mother if she asked you to help deliver gifts to grandma."
"No." Xiaohan shook his head.
Chen's face looked a little strange, and Xue Zhilan on the side smiled warmly: "Today is grandma's birthday. Your mother must remember her birthday. She should prepare it secretly and ask someone else to give it to grandma. You are still young, so there is nothing you can do.
When buying a birthday gift for grandma, why not try your best to draw a beautiful card and send it to grandma to express your feelings."
"Okay!" Xiaohan jumped away.
Xue Zhilan glanced at Mrs. Chen quietly and whispered: "Talk too much!"
Mrs. Chen turned her face away in embarrassment.
