Feng Haidong waited quietly until his parents-in-law had finished having breakfast with the two children.
After finishing his meal, Feng Qifan rushed to his father without even wiping his mouth, eagerly anticipating his father's comments on his essay.
It was his younger sister, Lu Yue, who reminded him: "Brother Fanfan, you're so dirty! You don't wipe your mouth after you eat."
Feng Haidong said, "That's right, how can you be so unhygienic? Even your younger sister knows to wipe her mouth after eating. Go wipe your mouth and wash your hands, then come and listen to me."
Feng Qifan immediately said, "Okay, okay."
Seeing her brother run to wash his hands and wipe his mouth, Lu Yue immediately shouted that she was full, jumped off the chair, and quickly caught up with her brother.
Soon, Lu Yue's voice came from the bathroom of her parents-in-law's house: "Brother, help me wash my hands, and wipe my mouth with a towel."
Then Feng Haidong saw that his son was indeed holding a basin for his sister to wash her hands, and he even used a towel to wipe the water off her hands and carefully wiped her mouth.
When the brother and sister returned after washing and drying themselves, Feng Haidong gave his son a thumbs-up as encouragement.
"Fanfan is doing a good job. He's starting to act like a big brother. He knows to hold the basin for his little sister to wash her hands and he even wipes her hands and mouth for her."
Grandma said as she tidied the table, "Yes, Fanfan has really grown up now. He knows how to take care of his little sister."
Feng Qifan stood there grinning foolishly after being praised.
Feng Haidong then asked his son to bring over a stool to sit down.
Feng Qifan went to get a stool and sat down in front of his father.
Seeing this, Lu Yue also moved her own small stool and sat down next to her.
Seeing that both children were seated, Feng Haidong began to seriously talk to his son about which parts of his composition needed to be revised.
"Your composition is okay overall, but you only wrote about your father's business. You didn't highlight the key points or write about your feelings about seeing your father's hard work. The way you wrote it now makes it seem like a diary entry."
Therefore, you should focus on writing about one thing your father did in business, and you can gloss over the rest. Finally, you should also write about your own feelings after observing your father's business ventures.
Feng Haidong summarized some problems with his son's writing and then carefully guided his son on how to write.
Feng Qifan sat in front of his father, listening very attentively to what his father was saying.
Lu Yue, who was sitting next to him, was also listening very attentively.
When Lu Chengzong and Lin Guojin saw their two children listening attentively to their son-in-law's lesson, they immediately smiled at each other.
The elderly couple found the scene quite amusing.
Under Feng Haidong's guidance, his son quickly understood how to change.
Feng Haidong then asked his son how he wanted to change.
While listening to my son's narration, I also gave him some suggestions for revision, corrected some of his mistakes, and ultimately opened up his thinking and guided him to a better writing direction.
After giving him some general guidance, Feng Haidong said, "Alright, go and revise your essay now."
Upon hearing her uncle say "It's done," Lu Yue immediately stood up and said, "It's done? Uncle, let's go then. Let's go to your restaurant and find Sister Xixi."
When Feng Haidong heard the little girl stand up and say that, he was stunned.
Then Feng Haidong and his parents-in-law exchanged a glance, and everyone laughed together.
Feng Haidong held his little niece's hand and asked, "Yueyue, do you want to go play with your older sister Xixi?"
Lu Yue nodded: "Yes, yes, Uncle, let's go find Sister Xixi."
Lin Guojin asked with a smile, "Isn't it good to play at home with your brother, grandma, and grandpa?"
Lu Yue turned to her grandmother and said, "But my brother has to do his homework. Grandma and Grandpa are both adults. Yueyue wants to play with her friends. Sister Xixi is the same age as Yueyue."
Feng Haidong laughed, then looked up at his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
He could tell that his parents-in-law wanted their child to stay home and play, as they were afraid that having Feng Haidong go with them would interfere with their morning work.
Feng Haidong looked at his parents-in-law and said, "Mom and Dad, how about this, I'll take Yueyue to the store first. If Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia bring their daughter, I'll bring both children back together."
With his parents-in-law's consent, Feng Haidong then looked at his little niece and asked, "Yueyue, your uncle will take you to see if your sister Xixi has come. If she has, your uncle will take you and Xixi to your grandparents' house to play, okay?"
Lu Yue nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll bring Xixi to Grandpa and Grandma's house to play."
Feng Haidong said, "Okay, let's go now and let my brother stay home and write his composition."
Lu Yue nodded again, then turned to her brother and said, "Go, Fanfan! Uncle and I are going to pick up Xixi. We'll come back and play with you."
Feng Qifan said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I can't play with you guys today; I need to revise my essay."
Lu Chengzong said, "It's okay. After you finish your essay, you can take your sisters out to play."
Feng Qifan said, "Grandpa, I need to revise this composition a lot."
When Feng Haidong heard his son say this, he encouraged him, saying, "Make sure you revise it properly. If you do, Dad will take you to the newspaper office and let Uncle Fang Yong take a look. Maybe we can get you published in the newspaper again."
Upon hearing his father's words, Feng Qifan immediately perked up: "Really? Dad, you're taking me to the newspaper office?"
Feng Haidong said, "Of course, but the premise is that after you make the changes, you can meet your father's requirements."
Feng Qifan nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I will definitely make the changes carefully."
After saying that, Feng Qifan took his composition book, went into his aunt's room, and lay down on the desk to start revising it carefully.
Seeing his grandson's serious expression, Lu Chengzong said, "Fanfan's attitude towards learning has really become very serious now."
Lin Guojin said, "This is all thanks to the excellent education in Haidong."
When his parents-in-law praised him, Feng Haidong said, "It's not that I'm the one who raised him well. It's mainly because he's grown up and now knows he needs to study hard. It's because he's willing to work hard himself."
Lin Guojin said, "Haidong, I've been a teacher for so many years, and I think your way of educating Fanfan is really good."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Mom, you flatter me. This is actually a method I heard you mention before: we should encourage children more and guide their independent learning ability, instead of always discouraging their enthusiasm."
Lin Guojin nodded and said, "Yes, these are very important in educating children, but not every parent can do them well."
Feng Haidong said, "So I am also trying my best to teach Fanfan well."
Lin Guojin said, "It's already very good now."
Feng Haidong said, "Thank you for your affirmation, Mom."
Then Feng Haidong said goodbye to his parents-in-law, took his niece with him, and headed out to his crayfish restaurant.
Lu Yue held her uncle's hand, the little girl's face beaming with joy.
As Feng Haidong held his little niece's hand and looked down at the happy little girl, he suddenly had a feeling that perhaps he could also hold his own daughter's hand like this someday.
