Chapter 1501 Children's Education
Zhou Ya went to Yanjing on a business trip. It was impossible for her brother to be the only one busy organizing the charity dinner during the summer vacation. Under normal circumstances, the Runyu Foundation would also host the work from beginning to end.
Because the final donation will be donated to the Runyu Fund, basically every similar charity dinner will be followed up by the Runyu Fund.
Not only the follow-up during the preparation before the event, but also the night of the event, as well as the use of charity funds after the event, will be detailed and regularly announced.
So although the whole process is already familiar, the whole work is still very complicated, so Zhou Ya will be very busy for a while.
For example, although my brother came forward to notify Xiangjiang, Zhou Ya would definitely do the follow-up work. At the same time, here in the mainland, as the proprietress of Haina Company, she naturally does all the work.
So she went to Yanjing on a business trip, and Yang Dongxu could only come to spend the weekend with her son Wen Chen.
Compared with when smartphones came out, older children like to stay at home and play games. Today's children prefer to run outside.
After all, you can watch cartoons and stuff at night, but usually you stay in the kindergarten during the day during class, but you can't go out to play.
So after breakfast, Yang Dongxu drove and took his son out for a walk. And it is different from other parents who take their children to Animal Eye, aquarium, or amusement park on weekends.
He and Zhou Ya also take their children to these places, but they don't go there too often, basically only once every month or two. Maybe it's a child's birthday, or maybe Yang's father and mother come over more often.
Other times, weekend outings are more about parent-child activities, such as going to the park to get in touch with nature, or taking the little ones fishing, learning to swim, etc. while learning and playing.
In addition to these, Yang Dongxu, a father, also has some other weird projects, such as getting up early in the morning to go shopping with Cui's mother and asking Xiao Wenchen to follow him.
Instead of going to any high-end fresh food supermarket, he went into the somewhat dirty vegetable market and let Wen Chen watch Cui Ma bargaining with the stall owner.
See how fish are killed, how chickens are de-feathered, what all kinds of seafood look like, and what the price of vegetables is.
The purpose of doing this is not to let Xiao Wenchen know these things. There are young people in the countryside who have known these things for a long time.
The main purpose is to make Xiao Wenchen familiar with the atmosphere of this market, know what dishes are at what prices, and what the raw materials of delicious meals are, and know what they are and why.
Otherwise, the child will think that abalone is naturally cooked and can be eaten by putting it in a bowl, which would be fun.
In addition to the vegetable market, he will also take Xiao Wenchen to the elderly park to watch the elderly practice swordsmanship, play chess, and play the erhu.
Sometimes Yang Dongxu also asked Xiao Wenchen to perform his martial arts in front of others. It was not about nourishing the energy inside and outside.
Just doing some kung fu routines, performing in front of others to exercise your little one's courage, and being applauded and praised by uncles and uncles can also cultivate your little one's self-confidence.
Zhou Ya's goal in raising children is to master the necessary knowledge, so it is definitely necessary to study in this university. If possible, it is also important to study for a master's degree and a doctorate.
At the same time, necessary etiquette and proper self-cultivation need to be cultivated little by little and cannot be careless. At the same time, in addition to professional knowledge, it is okay to not be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you must understand it.
There is no requirement for piano level 7 or 8, but you must be able to play it, or at least know how to play it.
In short, you must learn to be good at things that require specialization, and you must know what they are without specialization.
Yang Dongxu's training of his son is much simpler and rougher, with one purpose - to be down-to-earth.
Zhou Ya worked hard to raise his son's upper limit and give him the ability to dominate.
Yang Dongxu trains his son to strengthen his lower limit and at the same time sharpen the little guy's temperament. Let his character become more tenacious and have the willfulness to resist setbacks.
If the business there fails, or even the family becomes poor, Xiao Wen can eat a Manchu-Han banquet and green vegetable steamed buns.
Yang Dongxu would not care about Zhou Ya's harsh treatment of his son, but he would lead his son to be lazy. Zhou Ya turned a blind eye to the roadside stall where Yang Dongxu took Xiao Wen to eat without being disrespectful, and occasionally even ate with him.
Yang Dongxu felt that this way of raising children was good, and he planned to discuss it with Bai Qian and train his children this way in the future. As for her daughter Tangtang, that’s all.
It's okay to let her two brothers suffer the hardships. When Tiankong grows up, her brothers will help support her. She just needs to be responsible for her happiness and that's it.
In the morning, Yang Dongxu took Xiao Wenchen to the flower, bird, fish and insect market and saw a lot of flowers, birds, fish, insect and pets.
I have never brought my children here before because they are too young and want everything they see, but I am not good at raising pets.
Today I brought Xiao Wenchen here because Yang Dongxu was going to buy a turtle for him to raise. His hometown had cats, dogs and so on. Those are all Xiao Wenchen’s playmates.
It's so rare every time I go home, so I won't buy this one. Rabbits and the like are too troublesome, fish die easily, and the same goes for birds.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu thinks that the turtle is very suitable. One is that this thing does not run around and can be fed by setting up a small fish tank.
The second thing is that this thing is so strong in life that it will not starve to death even if it is not fed for ten and a half days.
The only reason why he planned to buy a pet for Xiao Wenchen was because Yang Dongxu decided to cultivate his sense of responsibility, so he definitely couldn't buy one that would die easily.
Otherwise, the child doesn't know how to keep a pet. If it dies within a few days after being brought home, wouldn't that be a nuisance for the child?
"This one, I want this one. I don't want the small turtle. I want this big turtle."
After entering the pet market, they only looked at it but didn't buy it. They strolled around and played for a whole morning. Before leaving to find a place to eat, Yang Dongxu asked the little guy to pick a turtle to take away.
Little Wenchen was having a lot of fun. Originally, Yang Dongxu thought he would choose those colorful little turtles with flowery shells.
After all, the small body and bright shell can easily attract the attention of children. As a result, after a selection, little Wenchen went against the trend and fell in love with a turtle the size of a bowl.
It was not a precious turtle species like the golden coin turtle, but an ordinary turtle. He could still see such turtles in the mansion of his hometown when he was a child. He also caught a few of them to make soup.
In the past few years, the price of wild turtles has been rising. The turtles in his hometown have almost been caught to extinction. Only occasionally can one or two small ones be seen in the hands of those fishmongers who catch eels or loaches.
"You have good taste, my dear guest. This turtle is imported from abroad."
The pet shop owner was delighted when he saw the child liked the turtle. He said it was imported from abroad.
"Dad, this turtle looks like the one Uncle Xiaowu gave me to eat. Didn't Uncle Xiaowu say that the eel was caught in the hole by the people who put the cage in it? Doesn't the one in the hole mean it's imported from abroad?"
The pet shop owner was interrupted by Xiao Wenchen before he finished speaking.
The pet shop owner, who was originally going to fool people with the high price of the turtle, was a little stuck.
"All turtles are the same. The hole is the same as the one you dig for crabs. If it's not in the hole, it's imported." Yang Dongxu laughed and rubbed his son's head.
Then he took a look at the turtle in the basin, "The color of the turtle shell is a little light, and it feels too tender. Is it raised in a farm? Well, this shell is a turtle, not an old turtle. Give me a fair price and I'll buy it."
Hearing this, the boss, who was originally preparing to forcefully continue to touch it, suddenly got stuck. Or he met someone who knew the goods.
This turtle is really raised at home, and it is not a pet, but raised in a pond. The owner of the pond is a turtle owner, and I don't know how this thing got mixed in.
When delivering goods to a nearby restaurant before, he happened to see it and bought it to see if he could sell it as a pet.
As a result, it has been in the store for several months, and there are several people asking, but no one has bought it. Because this thing is too unfeatured compared to some colored turtles or red-eared sliders, and the price he asked is a bit high, many people shook their heads and said no after asking the price.
"It seems that the boss is also a person who knows the goods, so 1,000 is better." Although I didn't see what brand of clothes Yang Dongxu and Xiao Wenchen were wearing.
But both adults and children have extraordinary temperaments, even if the conversation between adults and children can tell that they may be from the countryside.
But who says there are no rich people in the countryside?
And their conversation does not sound certain that they are from the countryside. What if there are relatives in the countryside at home and they encounter wild turtles when they go to the countryside to play?
Who doesn’t have a few poor relatives?
So the pet shop owner believes in his own vision more, and feels that the father and son exude nobility, so he starts with 1,000.
If Yang Dongxu hadn’t seen the door of this turtle, based on the temperament of his father and son, the pet shop owner was ready to ask for 10,000.
"You really dare to ask, 1000 yuan can buy a pure wild turtle for stewing soup. This thing is the same price as the farmed old turtle, 35 yuan per catty in the vegetable market, and it is freshly killed and processed.
So since the child likes it, it would be inappropriate not to buy it. 200 yuan is the fixed price. I won't bargain with you. If you agree, I will buy it. If you don't agree, forget it."
"No, this is a pet, how can it be priced the same as the food? You watched the child pick for a long time and then fell in love with this one, which means that the child and this turtle... cough cough cough... It means that the turtle is of good quality. I think the child really likes it, so I'll give you a 30% discount and 700 yuan."
"Let's go, find a place to have lunch, Dad will order you a big turtle." Yang Dongxu didn't waste any words and pulled Xiao Wenchen away.
Although the child just chose a pet, it's a bit weird to eat a big turtle for lunch.
But Yang Dongxu doesn't care about this, and Xiao Wenchen doesn't care about this just like his father. The reason why this turtle was chosen is that this turtle looks very similar to the wild turtle that Xiaowu gave to the Yang family to eat during the Chinese New Year.
The turtle also went into little Wenchen's stomach, and he drank two bowls of soup.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, I'll sell it to you at a loss." The pet shop owner saw that Yang Dongxu was so neat and tidy.
The child was not like other children he had seen, who would cry and make a fuss when they heard that adults would not buy it. Instead, he was more interested in eating a big turtle for lunch, which made him a little dumbfounded for a while, and he quickly stopped Yang Dongxu who was about to go out.
