Chapter 232 This son, is he their child?

Some experienced women say, "It doesn't matter who you marry."

Yu Yan realized from her own experience that who you live with really makes a difference.

She and Shao Muyan had only lived under the same roof for a year, but the happiness and sweetness she felt in that year were something she had never experienced in her previous three-year marriage.

One evening, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan were watching TV in the living room. An interview with a female celebrity was being replayed on TV.

The host asked her how she felt about her current marriage.

She said, "He made me feel precious."

Yu Yan suddenly stopped.

The phrase "feeling dignified and precious" perfectly captures Yu Yan's inner feelings.

"What's wrong?"

Shao Muyan sat down next to Yu Yan and immediately noticed the change in her emotions. He leaned closer to look at her and found that Yu Yan's eyes were red and her nose was red as well.

He tensed up immediately and asked, "What's wrong?"

"husband."

Yu Yan hugged him, pressed her face against his, and said, "I love you so much."

After that summer, Shao Yun helped Xiang Chu skip a grade.

They skipped directly from the second grade of the affiliated primary school to the affiliated middle school. Naturally, they went through layers of tests and trials along the way. On their first day at the affiliated middle school, the two children became the focus of everyone's attention.

Yu Yan was even more so; all the teachers at her school knew that her family had produced two child prodigies, and they all came to congratulate her.

Yu Yan simply smiled and said thank you, though she couldn't express her unspoken suffering.

Neither she nor Shao Muyan actually intended for Shao Yun to jump so fast. It would be bad to "force growth" and not be conducive to the child's development.

The Shao family and the two elders of the Yu family thought so too, and the whole family even gathered together for a meeting.

"Are we putting too much pressure on our children?"

Chairman Shao couldn't help but reflect, "Is this elite education different from the elite education of the past? What do they learn?"

"Learn everything."

Shao Mushi leaned back on the sofa in a rather unserious manner. "When we were kids, we still had time to play. Now, kids are all so busy and demanding, they're more tiring than adults. It's exhausting."

Lin Miao patted his exposed abs, telling him to tone it down and sit properly.

Shao Mushi straightened his clothes and quietly said to Lin Miao, "We were right not to have children. Look how worried they are."

Lin Miao glared at him, telling him to shut up.

Shao Mushi played with the tassels hanging down from the hem of Lin Miao's top while listening to the chattering of the crowd.

"Times have changed."

Shao Muwen said, "Shao Jing was trained very hard by his uncle. Xiao Qiao and I felt sorry for him when we saw it, but if we said anything, the child would complain that we were nagging and hindering his progress."

He shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

Yu Wanqiao smiled gently, "Our children are all very opinionated. Our opinions don't count, so let's hear what Yunyun has to say."

After playing football with Shao Jing, Shao Yun was covered in sweat. After taking a shower, he immediately transformed from a bratty boy into a refined young master.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the two brothers walking over calmly.

Everyone says that every family cherishes their child, but I'm not bragging, but look at that appearance and demeanor, wow!

Shao Muyan briefly summarized the content and results of the discussion, and then handed the right to choose to Shao Yun, saying, "What are your thoughts? Tell everyone."

Although they are elders, they prefer to act as guides rather than rulers on their children's path to adulthood.

Parents and children are both interdependent and independent individuals, and should have an equal relationship.

In terms of educational philosophy, Shao Muyan and Yu Yan are completely in agreement, and both respect children's self-will and development.

Shao Yun looked at each pair of people, meeting their earnest and serious gazes.

These are his family members who love him and care about him wholeheartedly. They are always thinking of him and going to great lengths for him. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved.

He addressed each person individually, and only after everyone had responded did he say, "I've been thinking about skipping a grade for quite a while now. It's not that I'm in a hurry to grow up or take on any responsibilities. Maybe that was true before, but not anymore."

Shao Yun raised her lips and smiled, "I just think that elementary school is too boring. The teachers teach like they're coaxing children. Xiang Chu and I have already finished the junior high school curriculum. Listening to those addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and ancient poems about geese, geese, geese, with their necks bent towards the sky, I really want to sleep."

His heartfelt sentiments made everyone burst into laughter.

Shao Yun was much more mature than his peers from a young age, and they never expected that his reason for wanting to skip grades would be so simple and unpretentious.

"I was thinking, since I have the conditions and resources I have now, and I'm already at a higher starting line, why not make good use of them?"

Shao Yun said earnestly, "I know you don't want me to lose too much of the joy that comes with childhood at this age, but I don't think that kind of childish joy is really joyful. Xiang Chu and I have our own kind of childishness. Our joy may be different from other children's, but there's no point in comparing joy; it's only about yourself. I don't want to waste these years in a daze. I want to do scientific research, and I also want to do business."

He glanced at Shao Jing and said, "My brother said that if you have two dreams in life, you have to put in twice the effort as others. I'm ready for that."

She chuckled again. "Besides, I have Xiang Chu with me, a little follower, so I'm not lonely."

"..."

These words deeply moved the adults.

In just one year, Shao Yun has become able to converse and communicate with them in such a mature tone.

Not to mention others, even Shao Muyan and Yu Yan, who watched their son grow up day by day, were often surprised by his words.

But the world is never short of geniuses. The thoughts and ideas of geniuses are different from those of ordinary people and should be protected, rather than being forced to follow the conventional path.

But Shao Muyan and Yu Yan often looked at Shao Yun and fell into this kind of doubt: Is this little guy really my child?

And so, Shao Yun and Xiang Chu entered the affiliated high school and became the class's darlings.

Every time they come home from school, the two children can pull out piles of snacks, fruits, and milk from their bags, and are fed by their classmates until they are fair and handsome.

Another winter break has arrived.

That winter was exceptionally cold. At Nan Song's invitation, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan took their two children to the Rose Garden for a hot spring bath.

Shao Mushi and Lin Miao also came from the capital, and together they made it very lively.

The men and women are not in the same pool.

Nan Song's sisters-in-law all came. Yu Yan was soaking in the water, and her eyes lit up as she watched her sisters-in-law come out of the bathroom wearing swimsuits and bath towels.

"Doesn't it feel like falling into a spider's web?" Nan Song asked Yu Yan with a smile, raising his champagne glass.

Yu Yan shook her head and said sincerely, "It's clearly gone to heaven."

She's so beautiful!
