Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 2223 Starting Line

Cheng Huanran shook his head helplessly: "If you are too busy, don't pick him up for the time being. Uncle and the others are not here. He has to work and take care of Xiao Xiaohu alone. How can he be so busy!"

"There's nothing we can do." Xue Yang joked: "Parents of our generation are the most anxious, bar none."

"Hey!" Cheng Huanran glanced at his younger brother and shook his head: "That's not me!"

Xue Yang chuckled and sneered: "No? Are you sure? Don't talk too much! You are not a father yet. When you become a father, you won't dare to say such things!"

Cheng Huanran puffed up his chest confidently: "Studying depends on talent, not the burden and anxiety of parents. I have told An An a long time ago that we should adopt an upbringing method that combines 'free-range' and 'Buddhist' education."

"Come on!" Xue Yang sneered: "I said the same thing before. Xiaoxiao also agreed. What happened next? Then she changed and started to become anxious. If I hadn't determined not to let the children come back this time, she would have planned to This semester, we have to enroll in more than a dozen interest classes and early childhood education classes. If we divide it up per child, there will be four or five classes."

Cheng Huanran was a little confused and asked: "Xiaoxiao... isn't it? When did she become like this? There are enough early education training classes, and everyone is still so young, so why are they anxious? How do they know what they are interested in? ?Take interest classes now? It’s too early!”

"There is no way." Xue Yang smiled bitterly: "She was frightened by other mothers and had to follow suit. She was afraid that her children would be lost at the starting line. Too early? They all wished that their children could start early! Elementary school Spending money on various IELTS and Mathematical Olympiads to get through the time. Not to mention being early, they are all eager to race against time!"

When Cheng Huanran heard this, he couldn't help but pity his nephews and nieces.

"Please give Xiaoxiao some advice. He's still young now, so there's no need to be so anxious."

Xue Yang sighed helplessly: "If I could have persuaded him, I would have persuaded him a long time ago. I even persuaded Xiao Huzi to come here a few days ago."

"Haha!" Cheng Huanran mocked: "You can't persuade your wife, but you can persuade your brother?"

Xue Yang shrugged: "No one can persuade me. Huzi is different from me. He has no one to discuss at the moment. He is both a father and a mother. The pressure is greater than mine. When you are under great pressure, you dare not relax. Come to think of it, I hesitated for a while, but finally decided to take Xiao Xiaohu over."

"It's all forced by the environment." Lin Qingzhi was looking through the picture album and joined their conversation with a smile. "He originally thought that the child would be healthy and not in a hurry to take him back. Who knows that after the online class is over, other parents are in a hurry He rushes to send his children back to school. If he doesn't send them, he doesn't dare to follow. As the ancients said, you don't worry about scarcity but about inequality. Nowadays, parents follow the trend of all kinds of chickens and spoil their children. In fact, they are afraid that their children will fall behind others. . If we lie down together, there won’t be such a thing.”

"Yes, yes!" Xue Yang seemed to have suddenly found a like-minded person, and said excitedly: "That's the reason! When Xiaoxiao lived in Xinyuan, she would at most send her children to early childhood education classes, and occasionally there would be one class a week, and occasionally Two periods. I think it’s good. It’s good for children to spend time with other children, learn to make friends, and play more educational games. But since she moved to the city center, she saw other parents around her making all kinds of chicken rolls. She became anxious about the baby. Especially after hearing how the family above us raised the baby, she became even more anxious."

"How to raise it?" Cheng Huanran couldn't help but asked curiously.

Xue Yang answered seriously: "At that time, they only had a little girl, about four years old, and there was another baby about to be born. Xiaoxiao said that as soon as the little girl was born, she hired a foreign nanny to take care of her, and she was a nanny with an authentic pronunciation, ensuring The child has two first languages. Also, the father speaks Mandarin and the mother speaks the hometown dialect, just so that the child can learn one more dialect at the same time. Now the little girl is learning two musical instruments, and also has to learn IELTS English, and she has to study for an hour every day Mental arithmetic, one hour of Mathematical Olympiad enlightenment, plus three interest classes.”

Cheng Huanran was dumbfounded.

Xue Yang continued: "The unborn child has also begun to struggle on the road to music. Every day I have to listen to various classical piano music, recite various Tang and Song poetry, and be influenced by various works of art. I hope that the child will be able to play piano as soon as he is born. You must be proficient in chess, calligraphy, and painting. Don’t doubt it, this is true. Now many parents are already taking the test for prenatal education. I believe that the next test will be for pregnant mothers and fathers. I don’t know what will be tested next? Will Grandpa even take the test? Grandma's genome is starting to get rolled up, right?" Lin Qingzhi chuckled.

Cheng Huanran said "Uh" and touched his nose.

"Maybe... this is too typical of an example. It should be just a special case and cannot represent everyone."

Xue Yang sneered: "Just wait, you will soon know how cruel reality is."

"No need." Cheng Huanchong walked in with a snack plate and a piece of mung bean cake in one hand to eat. "Talent is more important than anything else. Hard work is important, but it is far inferior to talent."

"Yes." Lin Qingzhi nodded in agreement: "IQ and talent cannot be changed at will. It may be more or less related, but it cannot be determined."

Xue Yang jumped up and snatched the dessert plate from Lao San's hand.

"It's not like today's people love to be evil! In order to make money, they will do anything to make money, and they will promote all kinds of things, such as improving IQ, the early bird catching the worm, and not losing at the starting line. Einstein's IQ is enough Is it high? Can his children inherit it? Is it possible that his IQ is the result of his parents rolling out chickens?"

Cheng Huanchong sat down, with half of the mung bean cake left in his hand. He stuffed it into Lin Qingzhi's mouth and took out a wet tissue to wipe his hands.

"Sane people shouldn't be confused by these. Since you know, you should give some advice to the second sister-in-law."

"But your second sister-in-law is irrational!" Xue Yang shrugged helplessly.

Cheng Huanchong chuckled: "The early bird catches the worm. What about the early worm? Being eaten by the bird? Some things cannot be changed, so it is better to be calm. Where is the starting line in life? Where is the starting line? How to decide? ? Where to start? But many times the finish line you think is just someone else’s starting point, and you may not reach someone else’s easy starting point in your life.”

"It's so heartbreaking!" Xue Yang muttered, "People like you must never become a teacher! Master Kong is a tireless teacher, but you are definitely a 'tireless destroyer'!"

Lin Qingzhi swallowed the cake in his mouth and smiled softly.

"The most fearful thing in life is the lack of hope. How can it destroy people's faith. Yang Yang is right. This is so heartbreaking."

Cheng Huanchong glanced at him and asked: "Did I make a mistake? Please! Let's take you as an example. Even if my second brother struggles for many more lives, he will have descendants, and grandsons will have sons, and sons will be born again - for how many generations No one can reach your starting line no matter how hard they work."
