Shen Qiqi looked at her children's faces still with childish smiles, and her heart moved.
The children have made great progress in their studies recently, and Xiaohua's emotional problems seem to have cleared up. It's time to consider their major life events.
She cleared her throat, her tone carrying a barely perceptible excitement, "Children, have you ever thought about what you want to do when you grow up?"
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly froze, and the air seemed to be paused.
Xiaohu and Xiaohua looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion: "Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?" They looked like internet-addicted teenagers who had just returned from an internet cafe without an internet connection.
Old Mrs. Lu was happily cracking melon seeds, but when she heard this, her brows instantly frowned into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
In her opinion, it is good enough if children can read well. Why think about so many unnecessary things?
Do you still want to go to heaven?
"Mom, the children are grown up now, it's time to think about the future." Shen Qiqi looked at Mrs. Lu with a smile, that smile seemed to say "Don't worry, the best is yet to come."
Lu Qing's son, Xiaohu, scratched his head and looked at Shen Qiqi with a confused face, "Mom, I... I just know to study hard, I don't know anything else." There was a hint of depression in his voice, like a poor child who was tortured to death by the exam.
Shen Qiqi's heart tightened. This child studies very hard, but he is still a novice in thinking!
She looked at Xiaohua, hoping that Xiaohua could bring her a little surprise, but she found that Xiaohua's eyes were blank, and she didn't know which parallel universe her mind was wandering in.
The entire living room was so quiet that only the sound of Mrs. Lu cracking melon seeds could be heard. "Crack, crack," like a death warrant, made Shen Qiqi frown, as if to say, "Is this old lady doing it on purpose?"
"Oh my God, these two kids are so confused, one more than the other!" Shen Qiqi complained crazily in her heart. It seems that the road to career planning is long and difficult!
She decided to throw out a bait and see if she could catch anything.
"How about this, kids? Let's talk about the interesting aspects of various professions and see if there's any direction you're interested in?"
Xiaohu and Xiaohua still looked at her in confusion, like two little deer lost in the depths of the forest, their eyes filled with helplessness and confusion about the future.
Mrs. Lu put down the melon seeds impatiently, her tone tinged with displeasure, "What are you doing? The child is still young, worrying about him for nothing!"
Shen Qiqi looked at Old Lady Lu, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Mom, you can't say that. Early planning and early preparation will help you win at the starting line!"
After saying that, Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing and gave him a meaningful look. Then, she looked at the two children again with an intriguing smile on her lips: "Children, do you really not want to know, besides studying, what else is more interesting in this world?"
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi, vaguely feeling that she seemed to be brewing some plan again. He nodded slightly, indicating that he would fully support her.
"Mom, this era has changed. Now it's popular to win at the starting line! Think about it, if you wait until they grow up before considering it, the opportunity will be gone!" Shen Qiqi opened her eloquent tongue and persuaded Mrs. Lu earnestly.
Mrs. Lu remained unmoved. She blew her beard and glared, "What starting line? I never thought about it so much before. I still raised your father. Isn't he doing well now?"
"Mom, this is a different time! Look at how fast society is developing now. If we don't plan early, how will our children compete with others in the future?" Shen Qiqi said while secretly winking at Lu Qing, asking him to come out and help.
Lu Qing received the signal, immediately cleared his throat, and said to smooth things over: "Mom, what Qiqi said makes sense. Society is indeed different now. It's a good thing to give the children a direction as soon as possible."
Although Mrs. Lu still felt a little dissatisfied, since her son had said so, she couldn't refute him and could only hum and agree.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu no longer strongly opposed it, Shen Qiqi immediately struck while the iron was hot and began to instill the importance of career planning in the children.
"Let me tell you, I know a sister who wanted to be a doctor since she was a child, and now she's the director of a major hospital! And there's also a brother who loved tinkering with machines since he was a child, and now he's run his own company. That's amazing!"
Xiaohu and Xiaohua were originally confused, but when they heard the examples Shen Qiqi said, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wow, really? Are they very rich now?" Xiaohua asked with admiration.
"Of course! So, we should still have dreams. What if they come true?" Shen Qiqi said with a smile, not forgetting to throw a coquettish glance at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing smiled helplessly. This girl really has a lot of clever ideas.
"Mom, look how interested the children are now! It's better to let them think about what they want to do than to let them study all day long, right?" Shen Qiqi continued to persuade Mrs. Lu.
Although Mrs. Lu was still a little skeptical, she saw the smiles on her grandchildren's faces and could not say anything else. She could only wave her hand and said, "Okay, okay, you young people can do whatever you want. I don't care."
Seeing that Mrs. Lu finally gave in, Shen Qiqi was secretly delighted. It seemed that this first step was successful!
She smiled mysteriously and said to the two children, "Since you are all interested, then what's next..." Lu Qing looked at the sly smile on Shen Qiqi's face, and suddenly a premonition came to his mind. This girl must be planning something big again.
"Next, we're going to play a game!" Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously, took out two pieces of paper and two pens from her pocket, and quickly handed them to Xiaohu and Xiaohua. "Write down all your dreams! Whatever you want to do, whatever kind of person you want to be, write it all down!"
