Xia Feng looked at Xiaorou, who was still sobbing, and rubbed her little face.
"Our Xiaorou was too nervous this time, so she made a mistake. But our Xiaorou is very brave to dance on such a big stage. She is great."
When Xiaorou received Xia Feng's praise, her face suddenly seemed to be covered with a thin layer of blush, and she didn't know why she stopped sobbing.
"Our Xiaorou had a little problem this time, but the teacher said that it wasn't Xiaorou's fault that she couldn't get the top two spots. Mom will prepare a small gift for you tomorrow. Can you bring it to your classmates to apologize?"
Even if Xiaorou didn't want to this time, she did make a mistake that affected the entire program, so she should apologize.
Xiaorou couldn't help but nodded.
"Does Xiaorou like dancing? Does she want to learn dancing from the teacher?" Xia Feng asked again.
This time Xiaorou hesitated again, twisting her fingers and opening her mouth but unable to speak. Xia Feng waited quietly, she believed Xiaorou would tell her.
"But... our family doesn't have money, and dance lessons are very expensive."
She secretly asked her classmates at school, and they said they wanted a lot of red bills, and she didn't want to embarrass her mother.
In the past, grandma and aunt often snatched the money from mom's hands, and then mom would cry secretly when she was cooking alone. She didn't want her mom to be sad, so she didn't ask for anything. It was already very hard for mom to raise them.
Xia Feng felt that it was her dereliction of duty for forgetting to tell the child that the home was different now than before.
But at the same time, I don’t know what to say about the child’s current situation. Everything a child experienced in childhood cannot be changed so easily. It is said that many people spend their entire lives healing their childhood.
Xia Feng took Xiao Rou into his arms and patted her back gently.
"Xiao Rou, we are no longer in the village. Mom is rich now and can give you a better life.
You can eat whatever you want and have whatever you want.
Money matters won’t be something you, a child, need to worry about in the future. You just need to grow up happily, so that your mother can be happy.”
"But Xiaorou is very happy to be with her mother, brother, and grandparents."
The child is so sensible, it makes people feel distressed.
"Xiao Rou is so sensible, Mom will feel distressed. Mom hopes Xiao Rou can be more willful, lively and bold, and tell Mom whatever she wants. This way, Mom will also feel that she is great."
"Mom, do you want Xiaorou to become like Sister Xinxin?" Xiaorou suddenly looked up and asked.
Xia Feng lowered his head and looked at the child. "Of course not. Xiaorou is Xiaorou. She will always be my favorite daughter and will never become anyone else."
Xiaorou's clear eyes curved into crescents, reflecting Xia Feng's figure.
"So, now Xiaorou, tell your mother if you want to learn dance?" Xia Feng rubbed the loose hair on her forehead.
Xiaorou still didn't dare to speak, but looking at Xia Feng's encouraging eyes, she whispered, "I want to..."
"Have you forgotten what your mother just said? Now I'll ask you again, Xiaorou, do you want to learn dancing? Tell me loudly." Xia Feng continued to encourage.
"I do!" Xiaorou said out loud.
"Okay, then our Xiaorou can choose her own teacher, okay?" Xia Feng applauded.
Xiaorou smiled and nodded vigorously, her little face full of satisfaction.
Xia Feng's eyes turned, "When brother comes back, let's ask them if they want to join the interest class?"
"Okay, okay."
When Yong'an and Xiaojing came back, Xiaorou and Xiafeng asked them if they wanted to take interest classes, and the two children looked at each other.
They only know that the food they eat now is better than before, but they don’t know the specific situation. Moreover, they still live with their grandparents, so they dare not say anything about it.
"Don't worry about the money. Our family can easily support you in studying any of your interests, so just ask."
Seeing that the two children were silent, "Xiaorou has decided to learn dance."
"In addition, I decided to study and participate in adult education training."
Xia Feng's words made the three children look at her. This was the decision Xia Feng had just made. The three children were uneasy mainly because they did not have any visible source of income, which made them feel uneasy.
At the same time, if you study with them, you can also set an example.
It seems that raising children is really not easy, and this is when the three children are relatively obedient.
Another thing is that if Xia Feng really wants to start a company in the future, it would be a fantasy if he can't even read a single word, which would make everyone feel strange.
"You are all learning and making progress, and Mommy also needs to learn and keep up with you."
"Great, great. I can study with mom now." Xiaorou jumped for joy.
As for Yongan and Xiaojing, they also accepted the news quickly. They were equally happy and relieved. As long as they did not become a burden to the family, it would be fine.
It’s just that they have been envious of their classmates’ talents in the past few months, but they don’t know what to learn for the time being.
Xia Feng asked them to wait and see before making their choice.
When Xia Feng told Lu's father and mother the news, they were both very happy.
"Okay, okay, you all go study, and then your parents and grandma and grandpa will pick you up after school."
They didn't mention it before because they were afraid that their three children would not be able to keep up with their studies because of the interest classes, so they planned to bring it up later.
As for their daughter wanting to study, that was a surprise. Their daughter was already in her thirties and had worked hard to come home. They had thought that even if their daughter did nothing in the future, they could guarantee that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
But they are also happy that she has the courage to start over, so that their daughter will not be too out of touch with society in the future.
In the end, Yongan chose the piano and Xiaojing chose the guitar. For the time being, they each chose only one and will choose the others later when they have more energy.
In this way, the four members of the family were busy studying for more than half a year.
However, over the past six months, the country has been affected by a large-scale external economic crisis, which has led to a reduction in working capital and a break in the capital chain of some small and medium-sized enterprises, leading to their bankruptcy and closure.
As a result, commodity prices fell, and the real estate industry was naturally affected, with housing prices falling by as much as 20%.
But everyone has no money in their pockets, and even if the prices are lowered, business is getting worse day by day.
Lian Lu's hotel business was also affected. With the economic downturn, the hotel business naturally plummeted.
Fortunately, the Lu family had a strong financial foundation and had not expanded blindly before. In addition, Lu's father and mother hurriedly suspended the expansion, which stabilized the situation.
As a result, the old couple of the Lu family are not so busy, and even the eldest and second brothers Lu spend more time at home.
As for sister-in-law Leqin's flower shop, business was too bad and it was closed for a while, so the Lu family was quite safe during this period.
But when there are too many people, conflicts are likely to arise.
