Chapter 414: Teaching Students in Accordance with Their Aptitude

Maomao: "Yes, Xiaoyu doesn't like it."

He Yuxiang lowered his eyes and didn't say whether to let his sister study or not. He just attended the class quietly.

Maomao scratched his head, not understanding what he was thinking.

He Yuxiang was silent all day, and only asked Xiaoyu on the way home from school: "Don't you want to learn English?"

"right."

"Why? Weren't you very happy when Maomao taught you before?"

"Because you didn't even ask for my opinion!"

"So, are you willing to learn English?"

"No."

Xiaoyu shook her head frantically.

He Yuxiang wanted to get angry, and his tone became cold and hard: "Why don't you want to? Learning English can help you translate, teach, and maybe even participate in the Canton Fair. Don't you want to know English like your aunt?"

Xiaoyu quietly moved away from her brother and refuted his words: "Aunt didn't ask me to learn English."

"You learned it because your aunt asked you to?"

“No.”

"He Yuting!!!"

He Yuxiang was angry and a little aggrieved. He snorted coldly and ignored his sister.

So when He Yuan and Chen Qing returned home, they saw the brother and sister in a cold war. At the dinner table, Chen Qing asked them what was going on.

Xiaoyu was in a much better mood than his brother, so he told him the whole story.

Chen Qing asked He Yuxiang: "Why do you want Xiaoyu to learn English?"

He Yuxiang replied coldly: "Because learning English is good!"

Chen Qing saw that he was angry, but she was not annoyed. She said in a gentle voice: "You are right. Learning English is good, especially for ordinary people like us. Learning a skill can bring many more opportunities. What's more, Xiaoyu is smarter than other children. She may become better in the future because of English. So you are considering her future and want her to become better, right?"

He Yuxiang looked at his aunt in surprise. He thought his aunt would scold him directly, but she was unreasonable. At this moment, he suddenly wondered if he was too strict with Xiaoyu?

But what my aunt thought was actually similar to what he thought.

So he nodded confidently.

Chen Qing continued, "So when you were teaching Xiaoyu English, how did she learn?"

“Very bad…”

No matter how boring the class is, my sister can concentrate on it, but in his English class, her eyes are wandering.

He Yuxiang lowered his head in frustration.

Chen Qing patiently coaxed: "Have you ever analyzed why Xiaoyu is unwilling to learn?"

"Because she hates studying."

"Yes, she hates studying, but when Maomao taught her before, she studied very well, didn't she? So if you really want her to study, you have to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, because learning itself is not fun, and people's energy is limited. We have to try our best to explore her interests. Also, if you want to add more tasks for Xiaoyu, you should think from her perspective. It is not good to force her to study by giving her snacks. She will feel that she is missing something. You can set rewards or ask her what she wants."

"I……"

He Yuxiang suddenly thought of Maomao.

Before, Maomao was tired of studying, and he also treated Maomao in an interesting way.

But that’s because Maomao’s academic performance is poor.

His younger sister was firmly ranked first in the grade and should be able to learn it just by studying it, so he didn't consider her thoughts at all.

There are also snacks for my sister, and teaching according to her aptitude.

He Yuxiang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at his aunt. Was his aunt also teaching him according to his aptitude?

He likes to have a little power in his hands, so his aunt would let him be the head of the family.

He liked doing business, and his aunt never restricted him even though she thought it was a bit dangerous.

He likes to save money, so every time his aunt gave him the living expenses, she would let him do whatever he wanted with it instead of thinking that the money had been saved and should be returned to her.

Like now, he forced Xiaoyu to learn English, and the aunt did not say who was right or wrong between him and his sister, but gave them a thorough analysis.

He Yuxiang pursed his lips: "I understand, I will discuss it with my sister."

Xiaoyu also replied: "I can discuss it with you."

He Yuan felt like he was in class and the road to learning was long.

Fortunately, he is good-looking and was noticed by Chen Qing. He is grateful to his parents again.

He Yuan picked up some food for Chen Qing.

Seeing that he looked shocked, Chen Qing also picked up some food for him.

He Yuan's eyes curved and his smile became very beautiful.

Chen Qing: “…”

She wants to report it.

He Yuan was seducing her.

The couple were being affectionate with each other at the dinner table, and after the two siblings finished their meal, they moved their benches to the front yard to sit and chat.

He Yuxiang asked his sister directly: "What will it take for you to be willing to learn English?"

Xiaoyu raised a finger: "You can't threaten me with my snacks."

He Yuxiang: “Okay.”

Xiaoyu raised her second finger and said, "You have to reward me with two fried dough sticks every week."

He Yuxiang: "Okay, but you have to drink herbal tea after eating."

Xiaoyu nodded frustratedly and raised a third finger: "You can only study for half an hour a day. You can't chat with me about English the rest of the time."

He Yuxiang thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Xiaoyu mustered up the courage to raise her fourth finger: "Don't call me stupid or say I'm a slow learner."

He Yuxiang: “…Okay.”

If He Yuxiang breaks the rules, he needs to buy fried dough sticks for Xiaoyu for five days. If Xiaoyu doesn't study well, he needs to make up an hour of class in the evening.

After the negotiation was completed, the two drafted a contract for the proposed cooperation, and under the 'serious' witness of their aunt and uncle, the two siblings wrote down their names.

The contract is made in duplicate.

Xiaoyu was finally satisfied.

He Yuxiang sighed.

It’s so tiring to teach children.

He took a shower and went to bed early, then went back to his room to rest tiredly.

The next morning, Xiaoyu kept her promise and studied English with her brother for half an hour.

Then the family of four set out to look at houses.

The house was introduced by Tian Mengya, but she gave birth to a child last month and is currently in confinement, so it was Lin Chongping who accompanied them to view the house.

The group met at the bus stop, took the bus for about 20 minutes, and walked for more than 10 minutes before Lin Chongping stopped in front of a house and took out the key to unlock it: "The house is quite old, because the family has been with the army, and the house has not been maintained for three years. They are also short of money recently, and they thought the house in their hometown is useless, so they asked us to sell it."

He pushed open the door.

It made a teeth-grinding crunching sound when it was pushed open.

Chen Qing followed him in and glanced at the wall. The wall was made of blue bricks. It was not very high, but the top of the wall was covered with dead vines.

The courtyard is not big, it is rectangular in shape, the ground is compacted dirt, and there is a hand-operated iron well in the corner of the courtyard.

The well platform was made of cement, and the well mouth was covered with a crooked stone slab, but there was a lot of moss around the well.

Chen Qing reminded the two children not to run to the well to avoid falling.
