Chapter 545 Pulling a quilt
Not all the feelings between relatives are pure.
Some elders regard everything they devote to the younger generation as an investment, a paid investment.
It is not to say that all family affection is so cold, but it cannot be denied that such family affection definitely exists.
Shi Qing forced a smile: "Qiao Nan, don't you think what you said is too terrible?" She realized that the soldiers in the army who were wearing military uniforms also had gray areas and a side that was not enterprising. Now, Qiao Nan told her that there was such an ugly side between relatives. Shi Qing was one of those who had just learned English in the army and had poor adaptation.
"Terrible?" Qiao Nan suddenly laughed: "I know you like reading. I only introduce one person's works to you, and you read all his works, then you know whether what I said is really terrible or not."
"Are you talking about Mr. Lu Xun's books?"
"Yes, it's his, go find it yourself." The chapter contents arranged in the textbooks tend to be too good, and the really amazing contents have never been put in the textbooks, and you have to find them outside of class.
Shi Qing is also a person who says what he does and doesn't like to procrastinate.
Qiao Nan raised her opinion to her late that night. Early the next morning, Shi Qing ran to find Shi Peng: "Dad, if you have time, ask someone to buy some books for me."
"Books?" Shi Peng looked at Shi Qing with interest: "What kind of books do you want to read? Science books or science books. It's true that people are swayed by the company they keep. In the past, you didn't even bother to do homework assigned by the school, let alone read books, during the summer vacation. It's really important for you to make a good friend."
Shi Peng didn't really care whether his daughter did her homework or not, but the most important thing was her attitude.
His daughter was smart enough. She felt that she learned quickly and got good grades no matter what she learned. As a father, Shi Peng would naturally worry that his daughter's road would be too smooth, which might not be a good thing for his daughter.
"I want to read Mr. Lu Xun's novels, and some psychology books about social relationships. Ask someone to buy me more."
"You want to read these books?"
"Yes!"
Shi Peng's slightly cool palm stretched out for the warm teacup: "Did Qiao Nan ask you to read them?"
"She gave me her suggestion." So it's up to her whether to read it or not.
Shi Peng's brows were a little serious: "Are you sure you want to read it?"
"I want to read it, Dad. I just realized that in this world, good grades don't represent everything. Being a human being is much more complicated." Being a human being is not like doing a question, especially a science question. There is only one answer. It's not wrong, it's right: "Dad, I want to grow up, and I should grow up."
"Growing up requires a price."
"But you can't protect me forever."
"..." After a long time, Shi Peng replied: "Okay, I will ask someone to send the book you need in the afternoon. It's always good to read more books." Shi Peng compromised.
Shi Qing's eyes lit up: "Dad, thank you." Thank you for your care and protection for me all the time, but I want to grow up.
"She has grown up." Shi Peng sighed. Qingqing thanked him not only for the books, but also for his protection of her.
Shi Peng's mentality was actually very simple. He hoped that his daughter could have everything he had never enjoyed. What he didn't expect was that his daughter was very hardworking and did not need the protection of the elders. Perhaps, this was his greatest blessing.
In the afternoon, Qiao Nan was still working hard. With a "bang", Shi Qing threw a thick stack of books on the table, and the pens that Qiao Nan had placed on the table bounced up.
"Hey, did your dad move all the books from the library here for you?" Looking at the books piled up like a hill, Qiao Nan's mouth twitched: "Even if you want to read, you should bring one book at a time. There's a pile of books here. Your dad is really not afraid that you will get tired of studying."
"That's right. We are from the Shi family. We should either do it or do it quickly. Anyway, only a quarter of the summer vacation has passed. I have plenty of time. I will definitely finish reading these books." After she finished reading these books, the first person she wanted to understand was not someone else, but her own family.
She had to think carefully about what her grandfather meant by being so partial to Qiu Chenxi.
"I am supporting you spiritually." Qiao Nan put down the pen that had been ejected.
Shi Qing put several books in front of Qiao Nan with a "pop": "These are yours."
Qiao Nan took a look and saw that they were all about sociology and psychology: "I don't want to read these books."
"No, we are all good friends and we have to share the joys and sorrows." Academic books like these are the most boring. No matter what, she would have to pull a blanket to read them. It would be so boring to read them alone. It would be more interesting to read them together with someone.
Qiao Nan squinted at Shi Qing: "When did we become friends? How come I didn't know?"
"You don't know now?"
"We share the good and bad times. I have so much homework, can you help me share it?"
"Hey, you finish it much faster than me. When it comes to homework, I don't do as much as you do. If we really share the good and bad times, you should help me share it." Although, she never did this kind of summer homework, thinking that summer homework was a pure waste of time.
Qiao Nan almost wanted to slap Shi Qing in the face. Anyway, no matter what, the final result was that she was taken advantage of by Shi Qing.
Qiao Nan picked up a book and flipped through it. Not only was the quality of the paper very good, but some of the books were from foreign countries, not inferior to the books Zhu Chengqi had given her. These books were probably hard to buy. "Can you understand this kind of book?"
Shi Qing's English grades were not bad, but having good English grades did not mean that she could understand the original English book. Even if she just flipped through a few pages, she still had to hold a dictionary to understand it.
"By the way, this is for you." Shi Qing took out a book that was as thick as an ancient pillow and gave it to Qiao Nan: "Take your time to read it. It doesn't matter if I don't understand it, as long as you can understand it. When the time comes, I just need to ask you what is written in this book, and I'll be done!"
"Niu, Jin, Zi, Dian?" Qiao Nan's face darkened. Shi Qing was going to use her as a translation tool.
"Yes, this dictionary is not so easy to buy now. It's the 1995 edition. You should make good use of it." Her father contributed everything in his private library. "
The 1995 edition, OALD?" Qiao Nan had heard of it.
