Chapter 424 - Debate on Children's Education

Qin Buyu concluded: "So, this is a Phoenix man?"

"Yes, he's a Phoenix man, and a scumbag." Shi Feiye grabbed Qin Buzhu's arm and looked up at him cutely. "You are different from him, but you play very well. I like the song very much."

Qin Buzhu's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "Thank you for the compliment, little fairy. I am honored."

Shi Feiye was also touched by his cuteness, and she raised her head and kissed him: "You're welcome, hehe."

"So, you've decided to let your child learn the guqin in the future?" Qin Buzhu offered sincere advice:

"The fingering and notation of the guqin are somewhat different from those of other classical instruments. If a child learns the guqin, then learning other instruments later on will still require practice and a different feel, and it won't be much easier."

"Didn't you say before that learning this would make it much easier to learn other instruments?"

"It will be much easier, but it's still very difficult." Qin Buzhu said seriously, ignoring his previous slip of the tongue.

"Oh, but wouldn't it be wonderful if he could play as well as you do in the future? With you as a ready-made teacher, we wouldn't have to look for one everywhere. It would be a win-win situation."

The more Shi Feiye spoke, the more he felt it was a good deal:

"Spend your parent-child time playing the piano. If he likes it, then let him choose one of the many Western instruments. We don't expect him to become a musician anyway, so just learning enough is enough."

Qin Bu Ru was silent for a moment. If it was a son, it would be fine. But if it was a daughter, especially a well-behaved daughter like Shi Feiye, he estimated that he could not be strict with her at all. Moreover, if he forced his daughter to practice piano every day, was he really sure that this could still be a "parent-child relationship"?

Shi Feiye shook Qin Buzhu's arm and said pitifully, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"No..." Qin Bulu blurted out the words instinctively, and he sighed inwardly after saying it. He couldn't refuse Shi Feiye's request at all.

"Really? That's great! Then, when you have time, play it for me. No, play it for the baby. That way, when the baby is born, he or she will naturally have a liking for the guqin, just like when I was a child, I insisted on learning the guzheng as soon as I heard it."

Qin Buzhu was surprised: "Huh? Guzheng? You can play Guzheng?"

"Well, I learned it for three years in elementary school, and then I practiced it here and there. It was just a hobby. After I graduated from college, I bought a piano worth over 10,000 yuan. I would practice it when I was in a good mood. That's how it is."

Shi Feiye felt embarrassed even as she spoke. This was purely an amateur hobby, and her playing was very average:

"Anyway, it's definitely different from you who have a master as your teacher. I just play blindly."

Qin Buzhu pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that Mr. Yuan once had a guzheng worth five million that was unsold. I contacted him and asked him to send it over. Since you can play it, you might as well play it when you have time. It would be good for your mood."

Shi Feiye felt a little embarrassed: "If a guitar can be auctioned for five million, it must be very good. The best guitar I played before was only eighty thousand. With my skills, I can ruin a guitar worth five million. Forget it."

"How can you say it's a waste? It would be a waste if the guitar was just left there unused. Besides, if you keep it now, you can play it for fun when you're free. If your child likes it in the future, you won't have to look for it everywhere."

"Oh, yeah..." If it's for the child, then that's fine, but "Isn't it a bit exaggerated to give a child a piano worth five million to practice on?"

Qin Buzhu looked at Shi Feiye and said with certainty: "Our child deserves all the best things."

"Yeah, that's right. I shouldn't think it's a waste. Our children deserve the best."

Shi Feiye reminded herself again not to cling to her old petty-bourgeois mentality. Practicing on a good piano is definitely different from practicing on an ordinary piano. A piano with good sound quality really makes people enjoy playing it.

"But knowledge also needs to be learned. You need to start learning the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand Character Classic early on. If it's a boy, I hope he can be as outstanding as you, with a gentlemanly air."

Hearing Shi Feiye's disguised praise, Qin Buzhu's smile deepened: "What about the girl?"

"If I were a girl, I would want to be like A Ke, ethereal and ethereal. I love that feeling the most."

Qin Buzhu's mind flashed with Zhang Kezhi's indifferent look, as if he didn't care about anything. The smile on his lips began to fade.

"That otherworldly temperament isn't so good. If a child doesn't understand anything, they'll likely suffer when they grow up. I think someone like you who has positive values, is positive and sunny, kind and cute, and hardworking is great. People will like you. Or someone who's a little spoiled, soft and adorable like a little princess, making people want to pamper them all the time, is also good."

Shi Feiye strongly disagreed with Qin Bulu's opinion:

"Although A Ke seems otherworldly, she has her own principles and perseverance. She is also very capable. Not only is she skilled in martial arts, but she is also well-versed in crime-solving knowledge. She can play the pipa and read various classical books. I think being like her is great."

"Okay, but it's not easy to cultivate that kind of temperament. We'll see when the time comes. What if my daughter is a very lively child? There's nothing we can do about it."

That being said, Qin Buzhu was determined not to let his daughter become like Zhang Kezhi.

What he wanted was a cute and adorable little girl like Shi Feiye, not a daughter who had a sullen face all day and only wanted to do all kinds of dangerous things.

Although he respected his daughter's hobbies, he felt that even if he had a very strong heart, he would not be able to bear it when he thought about his daughter struggling to survive in various dangers.

If Sun Quanzhang knew that Qin Buzhu disliked Zhang Kezhi's personality so much, he would have to have a good argument with his second brother. He used to think that girls who were out of touch with the world were not good, but when he really met one, he could only say - it smells so good.

Not everyone can remain pure in this flashy world. It takes someone with strong principles and willpower. If Sun Quanzhang really had a daughter like that, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

It's a pity that he hasn't even gotten Zhang Kezhi, the woman he's destined to be his wife, so he shouldn't think too much about anything else.

"Oh, that's right, let's see when the time comes." Shi Feiye also found that he was thinking too much:

"But prenatal education still needs to be done. If you have nothing to do in the evening, come home early. We can play the piano for the child, read to him, and spend more time with him."

"Okay, no problem. I'll leave things to others if I can."

Qin Bulu readily followed Shi Feiye's advice and didn't tell her that he had already cut down on all the work that could be cut down, otherwise how could he have so much time to spend with her.
