Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Cancan graduated from elementary school and became a junior high school student.
During the entire summer vacation after sixth grade, he didn't stay idle; he stayed home and tutored Manman for the whole summer.
He's in the first year of junior high, and Manman will be starting first grade soon.
As a result, the siblings' relationship faced an epic test! After all, no matter who tutors them, they would break down.
She's very smart, but she's always getting distracted. And since it's her older brother, she can't study for long and has to pester him to play games or watch TV.
Cancan is very orderly; she wants to learn before she plays. Manman, on the other hand, doesn't like that. As soon as she puts down her pen, she wants to go downstairs to play.
The two started having conflicts.
When Wen Shuqiao returned home, she noticed something was wrong. Manman was sitting alone on the sofa watching TV, while Cancan was sitting at the dining table, expressionless, wearing headphones and looking at a tablet.
Normally, the brother and sister would play together.
Wen Shuqiao changed her shoes, and the two children only looked up at her, then glanced at each other before angrily returning to their TVs and tablets.
Wow, it seems there's quite a bit of conflict today.
Wen Shuqiao looked at her daughter, glanced at her mother with a slightly guilty look, and then sat up straight and watched the cartoon on TV seriously.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Speak, what's wrong?"
Manman glanced quickly at her brother and saw that he was still looking at the tablet intently. She pouted and said, "Brother is angry."
"I can tell why your brother is angry?" Wen Shuqiao said, "Your brother doesn't get angry easily."
Can Can has always had a good temper, and now that she's a bit older, she usually gives in to Man Man. If something can make Can Can angry, it must be something serious.
She hesitantly explained why she didn't want to study, saying, "But I just wanted to watch cartoons today! I didn't say I wasn't going to study..."
Wen Shuqiao understood the whole story. She turned her head to look at Cancan again and caught the look in his eyes. She realized that after looking at him, she was staring at the tablet with a serious expression.
Wen Shuqiao understood. She said to Manman, "Brother also told you that after you finish writing that page of Chinese characters and learning a poem, you can watch cartoons. You still put down your pen, which hurts your brother's feelings a little."
“I know…” Manman lowered her head: “But I just want to watch cartoons, I don’t want my brother to be angry.”
Wen Shuqiao said, "He turned down invitations to go out with his friends so he could tutor you properly. Your brother definitely hopes his sister can be as smart as him, right?"
Manman nodded, then looked at her brother. Without Wen Shuqiao needing to say anything more, she walked to the dining table in her slippers.
"elder brother."
Can Can only glanced at her: "What?"
Manman took his hand and said, "Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry," Can Can said. "Weren't you going to watch cartoons? Why are you coming to see me?"
Manman quickly followed the lead: "Cartoons aren't as good as my brother! I love watching my brother!"
Can Can's lips curled up slightly as he withdrew his hand: "Don't give me that!"
Manman hugged his arm again, pouting sweetly, "Brother~ Brother~ I'm sorry~ I won't do it again next time~"
Wen Shuqiao also walked to the dining table and said, "You've spent the whole summer tutoring your sister, you haven't had any time to rest yourself. How about this, I'll hire a tutor tomorrow to help your sister, and you can also take some time to go out and have fun with your friends, okay?"
She and Shen Jia had planned to find a tutor from the beginning, but Can Can volunteered, and since Manman always listened to her brother, they let them have their way.
Unexpectedly, this tutoring session caused problems.
Can Can looked down and saw Man Man's pitiful look. It was always like this, and this trick never failed her.
He sat with Manman on his lap, and Manman happily gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
Can Can said, "Don't kiss me, it's all your saliva!"
Manman ignored her and gave Cancan a kiss on the other cheek.
Now it's all right, the saliva is symmetrical.
Can Can: ...
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, you two, Dad will pick us up to go out for dinner later. We're having crayfish tonight!"
With a cheerful "Yo!", she exclaimed, brimming with energy, "Brother, brother, I'll peel shrimp for you tonight! Okay? Please forgive me then, okay?"
Can Can pinched her cheek: "See if you're sincere."
The brother and sister had a way out and made up.
Can Can casually remarked, "There's no need to find a tutor. I can continue tutoring. I'm not so bad as to get angry with a child."
He completely forgot that he himself was not an adult.
Manman exclaimed, "Ah! You still have tutoring...?"
Can Can glanced at her, and Man Man immediately said, "Okay, okay... I definitely won't let my brother down!"
Can Can then patted her head with satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad! You're prepared. Let's practice our spoken English together!"
As he spoke, he put away his Bluetooth earphones, and the foreign language lessons he was watching were also transmitted to his ears.
His face was filled with utter despair, and even his large eyes had lost their sparkle.
She...she's still a child...
She doesn't need to read abcd yet...
Waaaaah, I should have known better than to apologize to my brother now. I should have waited until she was done playing before apologizing!
Wen Shuqiao watched her daughter's expression, which looked like she was about to cry but was still forcing a smile. She secretly smiled for a while, then took a picture and sent it to Shen Jiazhou.
[Shen Jiaju: Hahahahahahaha]
