Chapter 424 How to teach children
Lu You looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a three-head-tall child standing on the steps in front of me, with a delicate figure and a small schoolbag on his back. He was raising his short hands and waving them continuously.
Xiaoshu?
Did I sleep too long at noon and have hallucinations?
Lu You closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
When he opened his eyes, a three-headed little girl who looked like Lu Jingshu had already come to him.
A pair of small hands tightly grasped Lu You's trouser legs, raised his little face, and his eyes sparkled with bright light.
"Brother, long time no see!"
"Xiao Shu!"
Lu You bent down and picked up Lu Jingshu, pinched her smooth face, and said in surprise: "It's really you! Why are you in my brother's school?"
Lu Jingshu turned around and pointed, saying, "Mom said to bring me to find my brother!"
Shen Yuyin walked towards the two of them leisurely. She was wearing a beige windbreaker, a white shirt and a black long skirt. Her deceptively young face and the aura of a wealthy woman that she had cultivated over the years attracted the attention of many people around her.
"Mom, when did you come to the capital?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu You seemed to hear the sound of countless glass breaking.
Well, it turns out that everyone likes young women!
Shen Yuyin crossed her arms, as if checking if there were any missing items. She looked Lu You up and down and replied, "I came here by plane yesterday."
"You didn't even tell me you were coming."
"Will it be useful to tell you? You said you wanted to go to class."
Lu You thought about it carefully, and it was true!
Last Saturday, Shen Yuyin sent him a message on WeChat asking if he was free on Wednesday and Thursday.
Lu You replied with two words, "No", and said that he had classes all day and was very busy.
"Okay, it's my pot."
Lu You looked behind Shen Yuyin, then glanced around and asked in confusion: "Just the two of you? Where's Dad? Isn't he here?"
"The branch company is holding a National Day event, and your father is there to support the event."
"National Day activities? What are they for?"
"It's nothing. We just invited a few first- and second-tier celebrities to sing on stage, and then drew prizes at the end. It's just a welfare for employees."
"Could the prize pool for the lucky draw be filled with electronic waste that the mobile phone manufacturers can't sell?"
Shen Yuyin heard the teasing in Lu You's words and replied calmly, "No, our family only does practical things. If we want to give gifts, we will give money or gold bars."
Lu You:?
“Can the president’s son attend the event?”
Shen Yuyin sneered and sarcastically said, "You are just a freeloader and you don't generate any income for the company. How can you be qualified to snatch employee benefits?"
"You've hurt my pride a little."
It has to be said that the traces of time are most vividly reflected in children.
In the past, Lu You could carry Lu Jingshu and walk around the street for half an hour without feeling tired. But now, after just chatting with Shen Yuyin for less than five minutes, his arms already felt slightly sore.
As a last resort, Lu You put Lu Jingshu back on the ground, rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshu, is the food in the kindergarten delicious?"
"Ok!"
Lu Jingshu nodded repeatedly and said, "It tastes better than what mom makes!"
Shen Yuyin's face darkened and she said angrily, "Lu Jingshu! You are not allowed to look at your phone tonight!"
Lu Jingshu trembled all over and went behind Lu You like a frightened chick seeking protection from its hen, using Lu You's legs to shield her face.
"If you don't want to watch it, then don't watch it. I'm sleeping with my brother tonight!"
"It's useless to look for your father, why are you looking for your brother? I have the final say in family matters!"
Lu You looked up at the sky, not daring to interrupt.
Sister! It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that this woman has too much power in her hands!
Suddenly, Lu You noticed that there was a blue spring rope tied to the small schoolbag that Lu Jingshu was carrying, and the other end of the rope was on Shen Yuyin's wrist.
"Mom, why did you put a leash on Xiaoshu? It's like walking a dog."
"You said it?"
Shen Yuyin raised her left hand and explained, "This is called an anti-lost rope. As the name suggests, it prevents your sister from getting lost."
Lu You frowned and said, "Isn't that too much? Children are naturally lively. You lock Xiaoshu up like this, which not only suppresses her nature, but also shows disrespect for her."
Shen Yuyin pulled Lu Jingshu back, took out a children's water bottle from her schoolbag and stuffed it into her hand.
With a "pop", the bottle cap was opened by Lu Jingshu, and an extremely elastic rubber straw stood up.
Lu Jingshu immediately bit the straw and quietly sipped the warm water in the bottle.
Seeing Lu Jingshu drink, Shen Yuyin then said: "I hope you understand one thing, liveliness within the rules is called nature, and liveliness without restrictions is called willfulness.
As for respect or not, let me ask you a question. When you were a kid, you went out on the street just like Xiaoshu. I took you out by surprise. Do you still remember it now?"
Lu You lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Not to mention his memories from when he was three years old, he had even forgotten most of his memories from elementary school.
Snoring——
Lu Jingshu shook the cup vigorously a few times and shouted, "Mom, there's no water!"
Shen Yuyin patted her head and said, "Put the kettle back into your schoolbag."
"Oh!"
Lu Jingshu unfastened the safety buckle on her chest, took off her schoolbag with difficulty, stuffed the water bottle back in, zipped it up, then clumsily put the schoolbag on her back and fastened the safety buckle again.
This set of movements is easy for an adult, but it seems a bit difficult for a three-year-old child.
Lu You vaguely understood something.
"Are you teaching Xiaoshu to follow the rules and do her own things?"
Shen Yuyin nodded slightly and said, "To be precise, it is to cultivate her worldview. A three-year-old child has not yet formed the most basic worldview. Talking about respect with her is purely self-satisfaction and has no practical significance."
Lu You understood Shen Yuyin's approach and didn't say anything more.
However, Shen Yuyin did not always keep Lu Jingshu confined to her surroundings.
When the three of them came to an open space where three or four children were playing, Shen Yuyin took off Lu Jingshu's schoolbag and let her play freely.
Seeing Lu Jingshu successfully join the children's group, Lu You smiled.
"As a mother, you know how to handle things very well!"
Shen Yuyin smiled slightly and said, "Every failure makes one wiser. With the lesson of the big account being wasted, the small account will naturally avoid many detours."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Shen Yuyin did not answer. She walked to an empty bench and sat down to rest.
Lu You sat next to her, took out his phone, took a photo of Lu Jingshu playing, and sent it to Tang Wan via WeChat.
【Husband: photo.jpg】
[Husband: I haven't seen Xiaoshu for more than a month. She has grown a lot.]
Just when Lu You thought that Tang Wan was in class and he would not receive a reply, and was about to put away his phone, the VX message notification tone belonging to Tang Wan slapped Lu You in the face.
[Ai Fei: Looking at the background, it seems to be our school? ]
[My beloved concubine: Xiaoshu has come to the capital? ]
[Husband: You play with your phone in class, right? ]
【Husband: I caught you! 】
[My beloved: You actually caught my fish! ]
[My beloved: Wait for me! ]
After that, Lu You sent several messages, but they fell into the sea and there was no reply.
Shen Yuyin glanced at Lu You and asked calmly, "Are you chatting with Wanwan?"
Lu You covered the phone with his backhand and asked, "How do you know?"
"cut!"
Shen Yuyin sneered and said disdainfully: "Your mother is an experienced person. It's hard for her not to know when she sees your silly smile!"
Lu You pressed his hands on his face and rubbed it a few times, suppressing the emotions surging in his heart because of Tang Wan, and forced himself to return to normal.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why are you coming to my school?"
"To visit my son! What else?" Shen Yuyin said as a matter of course.
Lu You pointed at his expressionless face and said, "Do you think I believe you?"
Seeing that he couldn't fool the other party, Shen Yuyin had to answer truthfully.
"Have you ever heard anyone talk about my grades in high school?"
Lu You shook his head and said, "No, but I don't think it will be any better."
Shen Yuyin slapped Lu You on the shoulder and continued, "My grades are not that good, but they are not bad either. I can be ranked in the middle level in the class."
Lu You then kindly reminded: "There are also differences between schools and classes."
Originally, Lu You had half a sentence in mind, "I am a student in the rocket class of senior year and I can easily get into the Nine Schools Alliance", but he saw Shen Yuyin's eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.
Lu You wisely swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said respectfully: "Please continue."
Shen Yuyin retracted her gaze and said, "There was a girl in my senior year class who had very good grades. It was said that she was guaranteed a place in a top university, aiming for a 211 university, and dreaming of a 985 university."
"This level is considered a very good achievement? Then wouldn't I be a genius for all time?" Lu You couldn't help laughing.
"If you interrupt me again, I'll twist my head off. Do you believe it?"
Lu You immediately closed his mouth and made a zipper gesture, indicating that he would not interrupt anymore.
"That girl is plain-looking and arrogant. She relies on her achievements to look down on other students in the class and looks down on others all day long."
Lu You thought of a saying, "a half-full bucket of water makes a clanking sound", which was the most appropriate way to describe this kind of person.
"It just so happens that although your mother's grades are average, I am quite pretty, kind-hearted, broad-minded, friendly, and very popular among my classmates."
Lu You covered his chest and turned his head away, coughing twice with an unnatural expression.
Lu You believed her looks and beauty, but as for the rest, he just felt sick. It was pure lies.
Shen Yuyin ignored him and continued, "So, that woman regarded me as a thorn in her side and opposed me everywhere. She even kicked my table when she passed by to get water.
The most outrageous thing is that every time the test results are released, they will come to me and ridicule me, saying that I can only study in a technical college in the future, have no qualifications to enter a university campus, and will become someone's mistress after graduation. "
The story is very cliché, but when Lu You thinks that it happened more than 20 years ago, it seems normal to him.
"That person dared to say such words to disgust you. Doesn't he know what Grandpa's family does?"
Shen Yuyin explained: "The Shen family motto is to keep a low profile. Almost no one in the class knows my background. Besides, that girl, firstly, is unpopular and can't unite with other classmates to fight me. Secondly, she doesn't have the courage to attack me. She just talked a little bit, but I didn't dare to tell my family."
Lu You nodded to show his understanding.
In the final analysis, this was a grudge between the two of them, and the dispute was only verbal, far from alarming the family.
"But the most important point is that I feel that using power to suppress others is less fun. The most satisfying way to get revenge on someone is to crush her in the field she is best at as an absolute winner. That's what it feels like!"
As if talking about something happy, Shen Yuyin's face blossomed into a bright smile, half proud and half relieved.
"Judging from your expression, your revenge has been successful?" Lu You guessed.
"Ha ha!"
Shen Yuyin could no longer restrain her laughter, she laughed loudly and said, "That woman has a son who is three years younger than you. He took the high school entrance exam this year, and I don't know what kind of shit luck he had, but he barely made it into the city middle school.
For fear that others didn't know, she had mentioned it in the class group every now and then since she received the admission letter in July, and also asked if anyone's children needed tutoring. It made me laugh to death.
I didn't want to talk to her at first, and just wanted to be a diver. But guess what happened? BYD was bragging about his son in the group again at noon today, and he also tagged me, saying that there was a class reunion on National Day, and asked if I would come. "
Lu You’s mind had already emerged the smug expression on Shen Yuyin’s face when she saw the message.
"And how did you respond?"
"Not long ago, I took a few photos of the scenery of your school and sent them to the class group along with your admission letter and the trophy, medal, and certificate of honor from the math competition, and told that woman by name.
I'm at Capital University, planning to visit my son, and I can't go to the class reunion. If your son can't keep up with the high school courses, I can lend you the unsold notes at home without any grudges.
It has been almost an hour since I sent the message, and more than 20 people have privately messaged me, asking me how to teach my children, and that woman is like a corpse sinking to the bottom of the sea, not even a bubble has been raised. "
It must be said that Shen Yuyin's return of favor was indeed refreshing, and Lu You's blood boiled a little after hearing it.
After all, who doesn’t like to be slapped in the face, especially in the face of an enemy?
"I was wondering why you came to my school without saying hello. It seems like you came to visit me as a coincidence, but the real reason is that you are using me as a tool." Lu You teased with a half-smile.
Shen Yuyin raised the corner of her mouth and said without any shame: "In terms of deeds, not heart, no one is perfect in terms of heart. Anyway, we have met, and the purpose of the visit has been achieved. Who cares if it is incidental or not."
Lu You smiled but did not refute.
Life is full of confusion, and there is no need to delve into many things.
Delving too much into it will only lead to overdoing it and end up trapping yourself.
Lu You was happy that Shen Yuyin came to see him, and he felt that this was enough.
The autumn wind blew, ruffling the hair of the mother and son.
The sound of children playing came in waves, and time seemed to slow down.
At this moment, Lu You didn't think about anything, but simply enjoyed the tranquility with his family around him.
a long time.
The red sun sets in the west, and its light gradually fades.
Shen Yuyin suddenly said, "Son, it's been a month since school started. Have any other girls confessed to you?"
Lu You came back to his senses and asked, "Is this your first day meeting me? Apart from classes and necessary exercise, I rarely leave the dormitory. Which girl can confess to me?"
"What about the class?"
"There are no normal girls in my class."
Shen Yuyin: ...
"I couldn't tell for a moment whether you were praising or belittling the girls in your class."
Lu You pondered for a moment and replied, "For them, it would be more practical to learn more about Xi rather than spending their time on me who already has a partner."
"They deserve to be admitted to Capital University!"
Lu You took out his phone and checked the time, then stood up and said, "Let's go, there are still fifteen minutes until six, it's time to pick up Tang Wan after class."
"Okay, ask Xiaoshu to come back, I'll call your dad and ask him to drive us to dinner."
"what's for dinner?"
"I don't know. I'll listen to your father's arrangements."
