Chapter 410 This is called talent

The next morning, when the whole family got up to have breakfast, Lin Xiangxi, with his eyes still hazy, came close to Lin Xiangnan.

"Sister, did you feel that the cicadas we caught yesterday were so energetic and chirped so loudly?"

Lin Xiangnan glanced at his face and asked, "Didn't you sleep well?"

“Somewhat.”

"That's right, you didn't sleep well. Because I released a cicada outside your window yesterday, haha~" Lin Xiangnan laughed particularly arrogantly.

The one who did the bad thing was Lin Xiangnan, but Lin Xiangxi condemned Gu Zhenhua, "Brother-in-law, you bully me too!"

The room he slept in was on the second floor, and the height was there. Lin Xiangnan must have come up with the bad idea, but it was definitely Gu Zhenhua who executed it.

Gu Zhenhua also smiled and calmly explained, "Your sister said she wanted to share happiness with you. I think your sister is right."

"Happy, I am very happy. I can even dream of cicadas chirping in my dream when I am half asleep." Lin Xiangxi's eyes were full of resentment, not smiling at all.

Hu Meili was holding the bowl and chopsticks, watching the three of them arguing there, with a look of slight disgust. They were so grown up, yet so unstable.

The two children at home can’t learn from them.

Summer vacation has just begun, but Hu Meili has already made up her mind to give Dabao and Xiaobao an intensive summer vacation and has arranged a lot of tutoring classes for them.

By the time Lin Xiangnan learned the news, Dabao and Xiaobao had already been taken to a day's class.

The state of being out for a day of playing is different from that of being out for a day of studying. When Lin Xiangnan came home from get off work and saw the two children were clean and sitting at the desk doing their homework, she knew something was wrong.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me before sending your child to cram school? And you scheduled so many classes." Lin Xiangnan suggested, "Mom, you can cancel the class and just pick two subjects that your child likes to learn."

"I paid the money, not you. Why are you in such a hurry?" Hu Meili said firmly, "No refund."

"Mom, if you do this, your children will lose their childhood." Lin Xiangnan said seriously, "The summer of childhood should be spent catching cicadas, not doing summer homework."

She didn’t catch the cicada well in her childhood, so now she is focusing on a summer of doting and fulfilling her children.

But Dabao and Xiaobao’s mentality is completely different from what Lin Xiangnan thought.

Seeing that Lin Xiangnan wanted to drop their class, Dabao and Xiaobao immediately begged for mercy, "Mom, please~ please~ don't drop our class. We want to learn."

"Huh?" Lin Xiangnan was shocked. This scene was totally different from what she had imagined.

Hu Meili rolled her eyes at her and said, "See, the child is willing to learn it!"

"Now I know." Lin Xiangnan's momentum weakened involuntarily.

Hu Meili stood on the moral high ground and pointed, "Humph! You two were unreliable before, and you are unreliable now. If I didn't take care of the two children myself, I would not be able to let go. I have a few books here, I will find them for you, you two must read them carefully for me."

"I didn't say that I wouldn't cultivate my child's talents and specialties. I just don't want him to work too hard..." Lin Xiangnan muttered softly.

When Dabao and Xiaobao heard this, their expressions immediately became serious and they said firmly: "Mom, we are not afraid of hardship or fatigue!"

Lin Xiangnan quickly responded, "Okay, okay, mom knows."

Hu Meili strongly disagreed with Lin Xiangnan's attitude towards educating children, and introduced several books she bought to Lin Xiangnan one by one.

"Learning Mathematics with Children", "Waiting for You at Harvard", "Four-thirty in the Morning at Peking University", "Reading Changes Destiny"...

As you can tell from the title of the book, it’s all about teaching how to roll children.

"Mom, you should read less of this kind of stuff." Lin Xiangnan didn't want to read the text after seeing the title. Genes not only determine a person's beauty, but also their IQ. Hard work is not the decisive factor. Sometimes, even if you study too hard, you may not get good grades. It's better to live happily.

"I didn't read it much. I couldn't concentrate. I wanted to sleep after reading a few pages."

Hu Meili said confidently: "But you need to observe more and learn more from other parents' experiences."

"I'll take the book to my room." Lin Xiangnan secretly made a face as he turned around with the book in his arms, "If you don't read it, I won't read it either."

Hu Meili enrolled her child in classes with a pragmatic approach. In addition to academic subjects, Hu Meili also carefully selected physical education classes for physical exercise.

In the past two years, the women's volleyball team won gold medals in the Olympics. Volleyball is a popular event, and the first thing Hu Meili thought of was to send her children to learn volleyball.

After a few classes, Hu Meili asked her coach, "Do you think our children can win an Olympic gold medal?"

The coach hesitated, "The two children have excellent physical fitness, but it's just that the gold medal is not something that everyone can get. They still need to practice more..."

The two children have been spoiled since they were young and have never suffered any loss. They are fine at home, but a little overbearing outside. When their tempers rise, they are not willing to listen to the coach's words.

Moreover, the two children are able to endure hardships, but under the influence of Lin Xiangnan, they never endure unnecessary hardships and just rest when they are tired.

The tenacious scene of crying while insisting on training is totally inappropriate for Dabao and Xiaobao.

At dinner, Hu Meili informed us, "Your talent for volleyball is still not high enough! I have discussed with Dabao and Xiaobao and will take them to football lessons next week."

Lin Xiangnan did not hold back on what the two children agreed to. Instead, he offered some advice: "In the summer, you can try swimming and table tennis. In the winter, you can try ice and snow sports such as figure skating and short track speed skating. These can both exercise your body and allow you to have fun. If you feel tired, you can go to Aunt Hua to practice calligraphy and Chinese painting, or learn a musical instrument..."

Anyway, just play and you will always find something you like.

In fact, Dabao and Xiaobao are quite talented in mathematics, but if all their energy is put on studying, they will get tired of studying sooner or later. It is better to use the time for tutoring to play and combine work and rest.

Guessing that Hu Meili's strategy was to study a course for a while and then switch if it didn't work out, Lin Xiangxi couldn't help but ask, "What can you learn in such a short time? You can tell whether you have talent after just a few days of study?"

"Of course I can see it. Talent is like a light bulb shining brightly in the middle of the night."

Hu Meili didn't mention anyone else. She pointed at Lin Xiangnan and said, "Your sister only graduated from high school back then. She wasn't even a college student. She just played at home every day and was not serious. But when she went to Factory 132 and didn't do anything yet, the leaders of Factory 132 insisted on keeping her. It was so difficult to find a job back then, but the leaders of the factory managed to find a position for your sister halfway through. What is talent? This is talent!"

Lin Xiangxi was convinced by this example and kept silent.
