Xie Yan gently shook her head, her gaze both gentle and firm, her tone indeed very soft, "No need, Yangyang is not stupid, it's just that compared to the two little geniuses Chaochao and Tangtang, he doesn't stand out as much."
He paused slightly, his eyes filled with affection, "But he's still just a child."
Children should act like children, laughing and playing to their hearts' content, enjoying the carefree life that comes with their age.
Yu Yuehui was still somewhat worried and couldn't help but say, "But Teacher Yang has very high expectations for him, and I'm afraid he might be disappointed."
Xie Yan patted her head and said, "You underestimate our son. That kid has a strong ability to self-regulate!"
Perhaps because he grew up in Xiliu Village and experienced a different world, Yangyang is incredibly good at self-regulation. At the last thank-you banquet, I overheard him telling others how happy he was. He said, "Compared to others, I already have so much. What does it matter if I'm not a little genius?"
"I can't expect all the good things to happen to me, can I?"
"Let's leave our brilliant minds to those who need them more!"
After listening, Yu Yue hugged Xie Yan with some guilt, saying, "Since graduating, I feel like I've been getting busier and busier, and it seems like I've missed out on my child's growth."
Xie Yan hugged her back, smiling as he pinched her cheek. "You're the pillar of our family. Do you see any other family's pillar staying home with the kids every day?"
Aren't we all just working hard outside?
"The kids are so proud of you!"
"You have no idea that your son has been bragging to everyone that his mother is a researcher, and all the kids in his class envy him!"
"Chaochao and Tangtang are very proud of you; you are their role model."
Yu Yuehui pinched Xie Yan's face back with her hand, "Well, we should also thank Mr. Xie for his sacrifice, right?"
"With you helping me stabilize the rear, I can focus on my research without any distractions."
"Everyone in our research institute envies me for having such a good husband."
Xie Yan was not one to be modest. Upon hearing this, he immediately straightened up and coughed twice very solemnly. "Thank you for your recognition, Ms. Yu. I assure you that I will continue to work hard in the future. I wonder how Ms. Yu plans to reward such a good Mr. Xie?"
Yu Yuehui pretended to think about it seriously and said in a serious tone, "Since Mr. Xie has requested it, Ms. Yu has decided to steam his favorite vermicelli and tofu buns for him tomorrow and add lots of fried pork fat."
Xie Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "You're off tomorrow?"
Yu Yue nodded.
Xie Yan hugged the person tightly and rolled around on the bed happily, "That's great!"
"Ms. Yu, I'd like to receive another reward!"
Staring into Xie Yan's murderous eyes, Yu Yuehui understood everything. She chuckled softly, but the laughter quickly stopped, leaving only her rapid breathing.
Two hours later, Xie Yan held Yu Yuehui and lay down on the brand-new sheets again. Xie Yan spoke softly about the changes in each of the children in the family, "We can accept with joy that our child is a genius, and of course we can also accept that he is an ordinary person."
"After all, geniuses are always a very small minority in this world."
"Our Yangyang is obedient and sensible, has a sunny and cheerful personality, and a strong sense of self-awareness, which is already very good."
"Besides, even if he just lives a normal life in the future, we have enough ability to make him live a happy and comfortable life."
"In that case, why not let the child live a little easier?"
This was the first time Yu Yuehui had heard such a viewpoint. She couldn't help but look at Xie Yan with amusement and said, "Everyone else is single-mindedly hoping that their son will become a dragon, but you, on the contrary, are doing the opposite."
Xie Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he said, "That's why I say I'm a very open-minded parent."
"Besides, I don't really agree with the traditional idea of hoping that one's son will become a dragon and one's daughter will become a phoenix."
"If our children are willing to work hard, we will naturally give them our full support; if they are not willing, they can still live a fulfilling life as ordinary people."
How many children in their past lives developed depressive tendencies because they were forced to work too hard by their parents?
He gently put his arm around Yu Yuehui's shoulder and continued, "And look, our family's current assets are enough for the children to live on in the future, as long as they don't squander them."
"Wealth is something that you only need enough of; there's no need to pursue accumulating it like a mountain."
Yu Yue laughed and slapped Xie Yan, "You make it sound like our family are millionaires!"
Xie Yan looked up. "Isn't that right?"
He owns houses and gold in the capital!
Yu Yue chuckled, "Yes, yes, you are~" Her voice was full of barely suppressed laughter.
Under Xie Yan's guidance and example, Yangyang gradually stopped being as afraid of grades as before.
In every class, he listened attentively and always completed his homework meticulously.
Perhaps because he's less stressed, the little guy's grades have improved quite a bit, and he's now hovering between 20th and 25th place. Although he's still in the middle of the class, he's very satisfied with his grades.
Seeing Yangyang's serious attitude towards learning, and recalling what she had said at the thank-you banquet, Teacher Yang stopped focusing so much on Yangyang's grades.
As Yangyang grew older, he gradually stopped enjoying running around and playing outside as much as he did when he was a child, and instead developed a strong interest in exploring all sorts of things.
He said he wanted to discover his own talents and started trying to learn a lot of things.
Although he only dabbled in some areas, only learning them to a certain extent and not becoming an expert, his knowledge was very broad. It could be said that he could dabble in any field.
Time flies, and Yu Yue returned to university. With her outstanding professional skills, she went directly into the research institute.
Fortunately, she had previously expressed her desire to join the research institute, and Xie Yan had already purchased a house near the institute.
In the past two years, Xie Yan has bought a lot of houses. In addition to the two he had before, he bought two more. One of them is about to be demolished because a commercial street is going to be built there. The other one was also demolished and left in a dilapidated state by some previous residents. Xie Yan applied for a complete renovation and turned it into a five-story villa with one bedroom, one living room, kitchen and bathroom. He plans to rent out this house in the future.
As soon as Yu Yue graduated, Xie Yan's family began to move.
Besides Chaochao and Maodan, who are already in high school, Yangyang and Tangtang are of middle school age and naturally entered the middle school near the research institute.
This school is almost entirely filled with the children of researchers, and there are actually a few child prodigies among them.
Tangtang met a genius boy who was just as intelligent as she was here.
