Chapter 234: Progress Step by Step
In order to teach Qin Xiangsong well, Qin Yi specifically told Qin Xiangnuan to spare a carriage, a small one would be fine, so that he could teach Qin Xiangsong carefully.
Qin Xiangnuan naturally met his request, but still asked for an empty carriage to reduce the bumps so that he could better concentrate on studying.
"Uncle San, you don't have to be like this." Qin Xiangnuan looked at Qin Yi's guilty expression and couldn't help but want to dispel his concerns. "If you don't mind, Beibei and I would also like to practice calligraphy in this car."
"That's definitely a good thing," Qin Yi said. "This way Song'er will have a companion, and I think he won't be so resistant."
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and nodded. The reason she thought of this was to fulfill the request of Old Madam Qin.
No matter what, Qin Xiangsong is still a junior of the Qin family. Old Lady Qin loves him equally and wants him to become a better person.
Although Qin Xiangnuan doesn't like Qin Xiangsong very much, she is willing to enhance the relationship between "family" with him because he is still a minor and has room for reform.
Old Madam Qin advised, "Nuannuan, you are the most sensible of the children. Although your cousin is the eldest, he is not as calm as you. The blood relationship between you children cannot be changed."
At this point, Qin Xiangnuan guessed what Old Lady Qin meant. Sure enough, Old Lady Qin said, "I think you two should be the closest. You can help each other if something goes wrong in the future."
Qin Xiangnuan would not go against Madam Qin's expectations, but she also did not want to associate with people of bad character, so she wanted to see Qin Xiangsong with her own eyes and make sure that he behaved in a way that pleased her.
The "private school" exclusively for the Qin family was established in this way. Qin Xiangnuan was able to study quietly in a noisy environment, but Qin Xiangning was not able to do so.
"Third Uncle, my brother read it wrong!" Qin Xiangning complained to Qin Yi with a pout.
Qin Yi's brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be enduring it. When Qin Xiangning pointed it out, he hit Qin Xiangsong's books with a ruler.
"Read carefully!" Qin Yi said sternly, "If you continue to sing like a song, I will hit you!"
After Qin Yi's anger yesterday, Qin Xiangsong seemed to be immune to it instantly. Today, he was not afraid of Qin Yi anymore. He said with his neck stiff, "That's what my teacher at the private school taught me."
"You're talking nonsense!" Although Qin Xiangning was the youngest, she also insisted on going to a private school for a while, but she saw that most of the students were boys, so she stopped going after a few days.
Qin Xiangsong didn't know that, and because he was older than Qin Xiangning, he thought he knew more. "You are talking nonsense, you are ignorant!"
At this time, Qin Xiangnuan sneered and looked at Qin Xiangsong casually, which made him frightened.
"You are not good at studying, but you are very particular about your choice of words." Qin Xiangnuan said softly.
Qin Xiangsong was most afraid of Qin Xiangnuan. He couldn't explain why, but he was just afraid. Qin Yi looked at him and sighed softly as he saw that he didn't dare to contradict her.
"If you don't listen to me, I will let your elder sister deal with you." Qin Yi relied on Qin Xiangnuan's power to intimidate Qin Xiangsong.
"I'll study hard, Dad, please don't let her..." Qin Xiangsong said as he stole a glance at Qin Xiangnuan. When he met her gaze, he quickly lowered his head, stopped talking, and went to study obediently.
Qin Xiangning understood correctly this time and praised him with great satisfaction, "Brother, you have learned it."
Qin Yi smiled and said softly to Qin Xiangning, "Beibei, you're awesome. You helped your brother correct his mistakes."
After hearing this, Qin Xiangning curled her lips and curved her eyebrows, as if she had eaten honey.
"This is Beibei's reward." Qin Xiangnuan withdrew her gaze from Qin Xiangsong's head and gave her a chocolate with a smile.
Although Qin Xiangsong lowered his head, he did not miss this scene. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but flatten, and his voice gradually faded.
Qin Yi glanced at the top of his head, with a look of worry between his brows.
"If you perform well, you will also be rewarded." Qin Xiangnuan said this lightly without naming anyone.
But everyone knows who he is talking to.
Qin Xiangsong looked up suddenly in surprise, "Really?"
"I'm not like you. I will do what I say." Qin Xiangnuan said this without raising her head.
But Qin Xiangsong was no longer dissatisfied at this time. He started reading with a smile and his voice became louder.
Qin Yi was not very satisfied with his performance, but he had no better strategy to deal with Qin Xiangsong's inattention at this time. Between being tempted by a piece of candy and not studying seriously, Qin Yi had to solve the latter first.
Regardless of the means used, Qin Xiangsong did read the book today, and Qin Yi checked it out and gained something.
"You've only completed half of it today." Qin Yi frowned and said, "You need to work harder tomorrow."
Qin Xiangsong already felt that he was very good. In the past, he had never been so hardworking. So when Qin Yi said that, he didn't take it seriously.
"Are you listening to me?" Qin Yi noticed his absent-mindedness and knocked him on the head with a book.
"Why did you hit me?" Qin Xiangsong accused, covering his head.
Qin Yi scolded, "You didn't finish your homework, so you deserve a beating! You don't respect your teacher, so you deserve a beating even more! I was being lenient, but you're the one who's dissatisfied first."
Qin Xiangsong was unhappy. He thought he had done a good job, but Qin Yi did not praise him and even beat him. Moreover, Qin Xiangnuan did not give him any chocolate.
"Why don't you say anything?" Faced with Qin Xiangsong's silence, Qin Yi asked.
Qin Xiangsong lowered his head and muttered, "No matter what I do, it's wrong. What else can I say?"
But Qin Yi didn't hear clearly, so he pushed him and asked him to raise his head.
"A man should be upright and take responsibility for his actions." Qin Yi said, "What have you become now?"
"Third Uncle." Qin Xiangnuan interrupted him at the right time and whispered in his ear, "Forcing things to grow is not advisable. You need to be like flying a kite, loose and tight. You can't keep forcing him."
Qin Yi's brows furrowed when he heard this. He felt that Qin Xiangsong had already grown crooked, and if he relaxed any further, he would be unable to be brought back.
What's more, Qin Xiangsong didn't take him seriously at all, so Qin Yi felt that he couldn't let up.
"Nuannuan, Third Uncle knows the limits on this matter," Qin Yi said. "You and Beibei should get out of the car first. I'll talk to Song'er."
Qin Xiangnuan raised his eyebrows. He thought that anyone who couldn't achieve their goal in one go was no exception, and Qin Yi was no exception. He was so disappointed with Qin Xiangsong that he wished he could see a complete transformation in Qin Xiangsong as soon as possible.
Although the measure may not be right, Qin Xiangnuan would not say it clearly at this time. Firstly, it would be useless, and secondly, it would not be the right time.
"Okay, Uncle San, we'll go down first." Qin Xiangnuan smiled and turned around to call Beibei.
Qin Xiangning happily put away the books, walked to Qin Xiangnuan, and gave Qin Xiangsong half a chocolate when he passed by him before getting off the car.
"Brother, big sister said you've made progress and deserve a reward." Qin Xiangning said seriously, "But you didn't finish your homework today, so it will be reduced by half."
When Qin Xiangsong saw the chocolate, his eyes lit up for a moment, but then he realized there was only half a piece, and his face fell.
