Zhang Zhong never thought of letting Pengpeng become a great painter. Parents' expectations for their children should first be that they be happy, and secondly, that they should have a healthy and good outlook on life.
As for what is a healthy and good outlook on life, Zhang Zhong believes that the most basic bottom line is not to cause trouble to other people in this society. As for whether she will be cheerful and lively, or gentle and demure in the future, Zhang Zhong will support her unconditionally.
Everyone hopes that their child will become a person that everyone loves, but this hope should not turn into pressure imposed on the child.
Just as she is learning to paint now, it is just because she likes it, and for no other reason.
Zhang Zhong remembered what he heard from the fairy tale king Zheng Yuanjie when he was on Earth.
It was on a program where a farmer's father forced his daughter to draw, and did not even allow her to receive normal compulsory education. He spent all day at home learning to draw.
But Zheng Yuanjie disagreed with his approach, because the child actually didn't particularly like drawing, nor was he particularly talented. It was better to send him to school first and then consider other things.
The father asked Zheng Yuanjie: Then why did your son stop studying when he was a teenager and started writing books?
Zheng Yuanjie answered this: Because my son has seen me sitting at my desk writing and reading books since he was a child, and he has been influenced by me subtly. His current knowledge reserve has the ability to do this.
There is really no need to be deliberate when it comes to a child's growth. All parents have to do is to do a good job for themselves first. As long as they do a good job for themselves and their children follow suit, everything will be fine naturally.
Sometimes, children are like a mirror for parents. Parents can always see themselves in their children. If children are naughty, irritable, and disobedient, the first thing parents need to think about is whether they are usually like this, and then look for other options.
reason.
Instead of focusing on making his daughter a master, Zhang Zhong felt that he should be grateful to Pengpeng. Speaking of which, he did not teach her much, but he gained a lot of valuable things from her, which were the basis of both his and her life.
Something I have never gotten in my entire life.
"Dad, do my paintings look good?"
Zhang Chong came back to his senses and showed a gentle smile to his daughter, "Of course she looks good."
"But, I think my drawing is a bit ugly. I wanted to make Maomao's nose smaller, but it got bigger as I drew it. Then I didn't dare to draw the eyes..." Peng Peng muttered.
road.
Zhang Zhong couldn't help but laugh a little, haha, this girl has quite high demands on herself.
"It doesn't matter, maybe Maomao just wishes she had a big nose?"
Peng Peng tilted his head and said in surprise, "Is that so? Doesn't it think its nose is too big and ugly?"
Zhang Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows, maybe it just likes it like this. Everyone... or pigs, have their own favorite things, which may be different from others, but there is nothing wrong with it."
Pengpeng nodded as if he understood, and then focused his attention on his painting again, "Yeah, after Dad said that, I don't feel so ugly anymore."
Xu Yuhan tutored the other two children for a while. When she had time, she came over and said with a smile, "Pengpeng is quite talented. She has a good imagination and a strong memory for colors. Most of these things are innate."
.”
Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, Teacher Xu. I'm sorry to trouble you today."
"You're welcome, Dad Zhang. Since Pengpeng is my student, I have to do my best. By the way, when will you come over tomorrow? I can make arrangements in advance."
Zhang Zhong thought for a while and said, "Let's stick to this time, Pengpeng, can we come over again tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, okay." Pengpeng's eyes were still staring at her paintings, with a narcissistic look on her face. As for the high demands just now, she had already forgotten them.
Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "Okay, today's class ends here. Just put Pengpeng's tools here. It's quite troublesome to carry them around."
"Ah? Can't you take the big box home?" Pengpeng said with some reluctance.
Zhang Zhong said, "Don't bring the big box. We are coming tomorrow anyway. Can I take Pengpeng to buy clothes?"
"All right."
Zhang Zhong pulled his daughter to stand up and said to Xu Yuhan, "I'll say goodbye today. We'll come back tomorrow morning, Pengpeng, and see Teacher Xu again."
"Goodbye, Teacher Xu."
"Well, goodbye Pengpeng."
After coming out of Meng Mu's small building, Zhang Zhong took his daughter for a stroll in the shopping mall. It was already eleven o'clock, and the shopping mall was already bustling with people.
Zhang Zhong went straight to the children's clothing area on the fourth floor and bought some clothes with Pengpeng.
It only cost one thousand yuan to sign up for Pengpeng's "VIP" painting class, but the two clothes cost more than one thousand yuan. I also bought shoes, socks and accessories for two to three thousand yuan.
Pengpeng showed a lack of interest in clothes at first, and Zhang Zhong thought she really wasn't interested in clothes, because she didn't look at clothes much when she came to the mall last time.
But when Zhang Zhong noticed her expression as she looked at those beautiful dresses, he knew that this girl was restraining herself. A child of four and a half years old already knew how to restrain herself. Zhang Zhong had never thought of it before.
It may also be that the situation at home was not very good before, and her mother would definitely not buy very good clothes when she bought them, and she would feel something after a long time.
Since his daughter liked it, Zhang Zhong didn’t think too much and waved his hand: swipe my card.
Money is a bastard, I will make more after spending it.
After buying the clothes, Pengpeng hugged the bag of clothes tightly in her arms, and the expression of joy that she had restrained before finally burst out on her little face.
There was still some money left, so Zhang Zhong also bought two pieces of clothing.
The clothes he wore before were all from five years ago. They were not shabby, but they were not very decent, and they no longer fit his own taste.
He originally planned to buy a smartphone, but he put it on hold for the time being because he still had some money left to buy something for his parents, and in the end he still had two to three thousand yuan left.
He no longer knows how to budget carefully, and he also knows that he should keep some rice in the rice vat at home.
The daily expenses at home cost money. In the past, it was always the parents who were responsible for the expenses. He has never fulfilled his obligation as a son. From now on, he will start to take over the burden of the family from the shoulders of the parents.
But there is no need to rush. Anyway, after the royalties come out in a few days, the temporary dilemma at home will be completely resolved, and all that remains is for the family to move into Dahusi.
The current house has to be squeezed into the same room as my father, which is really cramped. Moreover, it is not my own home after all. It doesn’t matter if I rent a house by myself. However, the elderly have different ideas. In their eyes, only a house that belongs to them can be safe.
