Xiao Chong buried his head in his mouth and added food to him from time to time.
"Eat more, now is the time to grow up, eat more meat and vegetables."
"The shrimps are good and very fresh. Come and have two more!"
"Xiao Chong, why don't you eat big crabs? Your sister has eaten three of them. You can't eat all your portions. Hurry! Eat quickly too!"
Cheng Huan Chongshen knew that he had "annoyed" his parents and was very well-behaved and ate quietly.
Xue Ling urged: "It's seven o'clock, everyone eat faster. I'll send Xiaoxin to play chess later, so I have to enter the venue in advance."
"Yes!" Dad Xue reminded: "It starts on time at 8 o'clock. Xiaoxin must enter the venue at 7:30."
Cheng Tianyuan looked at his daughter with gentle eyes and whispered: "Get good, don't be nervous."
"Okay." Xiaoxin giggled, "You can't shout 'Come on'! No one who goes in to watch can speak loudly, otherwise the security guard will rush you."
"Don't worry, no." Xue Ling smiled and said, "You should do it well, let's cheer you up in your heart."
Everyone laughed.
Xiao Chong glanced at his sister and asked in a low voice: "Will you go to class tomorrow?"
"Of course!" Xiaoxin explained: "There is only one game. If you can compete for the championship and runner-up, you will have to compete next week. I will go back and go to bed early, and I will still be in time for class tomorrow."
"The most important thing in class." Cheng Tianyuan said calmly: "The final exam will be taken in two weeks, so you must pay special attention to it."
Cheng Huanchong shrank his head and ate quietly.
Xue Ling couldn't help but say, "Xiao Chong, your grades in the midterm exam are not very ideal. You have to review this final exam, and your grades can't be reduced anymore. You have just entered the first year of junior high school and have to lay a good foundation."
"Oh." Cheng Huanchong answered quietly.
Cheng Tianyuan, who was standing beside him, said in a deep voice: "Don't think about it, it's impossible."
Xue Ling was stunned and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? I've been behind for a while, but it doesn't mean that I've been like this all the time, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan took a deep breath and put the chopsticks down.
"His head teacher said that he has been addicted to comics every day recently, reading comics in class and drawing comics after class, and not even completing the homework assigned by the teacher. How can he get the grades well?"
comics?!
Xue Ling was a little stunned and turned to look at her younger son.
"Why...why are you obsessed with comics? When did it happen?"
Cheng Huanchong buried his head and dared not answer.
Dad Xue was also surprised and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? What's the painting? What? Xiao Chong wants to learn to draw?"
Xiao Xin said "Oh" long and explained: "The third brother has dozens of comics in his room! He also bought a dozen sets of comics last week, all of which are imported comics, which are very expensive!"
Cheng Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "What? I am dumb? I dare not act like this?! Ah?"
Xiao Chong shrank his neck and whispered: "I... I like comics very much. I started buying them last year, and as I watched them... I drew them myself. Someone in the next class learned comics, but I learned them from professional teachers.
I often go to him to learn.”
"I learned that I even spent time in class?" Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Then you don't have to study and go to school? You're a little offside in class and you can't finish your class homework. Do you think this is OK?"
"...No." Xiao Chong whispered in a low voice.
Dad Xue quickly became a peacemaker and said warmly: "Okay, okay, let the child talk well, maybe he has any difficulties."
"Dispute?" Cheng Tianyuan sneered: "Is it possible that someone forced him to do this? He will be thirteen years old in two months, and he is not a little brat. Didn't he know that he is a student now, and his main task is
Studying? If you don’t read books well, your grades plummeted, and your mind is full of those comics. You can’t even attend classes. I want to ask him what plans he is going to do. Should he drop out of school and do that comic next?!"
Dad's sudden loud voice scared Xiao Chong!
His eyes turned slightly red and he whispered: "...No...sure it's not."
Dad Xue felt sorry for the child, but he also understood the importance and dared not spoil him too much.
"Xiao Chong, please explain it to your parents quickly. Grandpa knows that you still like to study, right? You are just confused for a while, right? Hurry, don't be sad, explain it to your parents clearly."
Cheng Huanchong shed tears and wiped them away soon.
"I...I like comics very much. I want to learn comics and become a comic artist in the future."
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan looked at each other and were both surprised.
Xiaoxin was also shocked and asked: "Do you know what you are talking about? What is a comic artist? Are you a comic bookmaker?"
"Yes." Xiao Chong swallowed and whispered: "Since I first saw the comic, I have been fascinated by it. I like comics so much that I can't think of. Just show me comics,
I can stop eating or sleeping...that kind of love is the extreme love from the bottom of my heart. I know I still have to study now, but I... just can't control myself. I want to read comics, I want to draw comics."
Cheng Tianyuan rolled his eyes and asked back: "As long as you give you a comic, you can stop eating and sleep? Really?! If you don't eat for two or three days, you will starve to death!"
Cheng Huanchong was shocked and dared not continue talking.
Dad Xue secretly felt something was wrong and hurriedly coaxed him: "Xiao Chong, that comic book... cannot be eaten or drunk. The key is that it has seriously affected your studies now. You hurriedly apologized to your parents and said that you will not read it in the future-
—”
"No!" Xiao Chong suddenly became excited, his eyes red and said, "I love comics! The kind that I love super super!"
Cheng Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "What is 'love"?! Could it be that you want to drop out of school and do that thing? Does anyone watch it? Are you a student like you?! You are so furious that you don't want to study, do you have to harm other people?
Student?! You kid deserves a beating!"
Xiao Chong cried and thrust.
Xue Ling frowned, pulled a tissue and handed it to him.
"A man is not a child anymore. You can't cry casually. You are only thirteen years old now. You must focus on your studies in everything. You must not be careless. If you really like comics so much, your parents agree that you will be in the spare time.
Let’s do it, study during the winter and summer vacations, but not now. The most important thing now is to improve your studies and get the final exam well.”
"Really?!" Cheng Huanchong looked at his mother in disbelief and glared: "Mom... you didn't lie to me? Can you really learn?"
Xue Ling nodded: "As long as you have good grades in the final exam, my mom will help you find a professional cartoonist to be your teacher to tutor you. My mom always keeps her word."
"Really?" Xiao Chong stood up excitedly and grabbed Xue Ling's hand: "Mom! I-I can really go and learn?!"
"Yes." Xue Ling said indifferently: "The premise is that you do your studies well. Try to be among the top ten in the class next semester and strive to be among the top five at the end of the semester. As long as your grades are good enough, you can use your pocket money to buy comics.
I'll help you with extra money for learning comics. It's almost time to finish the period, check for omissions and take a good exam. During the summer vacation, you can go to a professional comic artist to study."
Xiao Chong thought about it seriously, and nodded quickly with a smile, "Okay! I will definitely study hard and take the exam!"
Cheng Tianyuan glared at Xue Ling, with complaints and confusion.
Xue Ling replied with a look of "being anxious" look.
"Oh!" Dad Xue suddenly said, "It's almost seven:15! Let's talk about Xiao Chong again! We have to go to the stadium immediately, otherwise we won't be able to catch up."
