Three years later.
Si Yuan held up a crystal clear red candied haws and was eating it with relish. While eating, he expressed his thoughts: "The candied haws made carefully by myself is delicious. The sugar coating is crispy and sweet. The hawthorn fruit inside is sour and sweet." It’s appetizing, and the seeds are removed and raisins are stuffed in. When you eat it, the refreshing taste of hawthorn and the soft and sweet taste of raisins are combined, it’s just..."
"Suck~" A sound of slurping came from the side, and Si Yuan glanced over.
I saw a little boy with three heads and a carved body, his big black grape-like eyes staring intently at the candied haws in his hand. Every time he ate a candied haws, the little boy's eyes followed. When I heard his description of the candied haws, I couldn't help but salivate.
Si Yuan took another bite of a candied haws. Hearing the crunching sound of the sugar coating breaking in his mouth, the little boy finally couldn't help it anymore. He licked his lips and reached out to grab the corner of Si Yuan's clothes: "Dad, ah Dad, can you give me one?"
Si Yuan lowered his head slightly and looked at his cheap son Xiao Changqing who was standing on tiptoe grabbing the corner of his clothes. He shook the candied haws in his hand in front of his eyes and said in a long voice: "No - okay -"
Xiao Changqing's eyes suddenly turned red and she burst into tears: "I want to eat candied haws on a stick! Mom, dad won't let me eat candied haws on a stick!"
Seeing his son crying, Si Yuan quickly ate the remaining candied haws in a few mouthfuls without any worry, leaving only a bare bamboo stick. Then he sat down on the ground and fake-cryed loudly: " Wow wow wow! I want to eat candied haws on a stick too, madam, son, he is grabbing my candied haws!"
Xiao Changqing was simply stunned. Looking at his father sitting on the ground in front of him, rubbing his face and crying loudly, he was so shocked that he forgot to continue crying.
Yu Yan was summoned by the shouts of one big boy and one small boy one after another. Yu Yan walked behind Si Yuan and said angrily: "Okay, okay, Chang Qing is a child. If he cries, you cry too? Are you thinking this?" Dad doesn’t set a good example for his son either!”
Si Yuan immediately stopped talking, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said with a smile: "If I cry, Changqing will stop crying. I am not sensible, so Changqing is sensible, right, little Changqing?" "
Xiao Changqing, who was just over two years old this year, couldn't understand what his father meant. He threw himself into his mother's arms and whispered to her: "Mom, I won't eat candied haws. I will also take tomorrow's candied haws." Give it to Dad, Dad cried so sadly just now, he must really want to eat another candied haws."
Listening to Xiao Changqing's heart-burning words, Yu Yan couldn't help but recall Si Yuan's previous conversation with her when she was educating her children.
——“When a child is ignorant, educating him not to speak harshly will affect the parent-child relationship. He must learn to be friends with his children, and parents must also learn to show weakness to their children, so that they can grow up.”
Then she watched dumbfounded as her husband, who was in his twenties, competed for snacks and toys with his son who had just learned to walk and just learned to talk. He looked childish and bullied children.
However, Yu Yan later discovered that Si Yuan's seemingly unreliable approach actually made his son much smarter and more sensible than ordinary children at a young age.
For example, when it comes to candied haws, Yu Yan is worried that her son has bad teeth, so she only allows her son to eat one candied haws a day, which is the kind of small candied haws made by the family chef himself with only two or three fruits on a bamboo stick.
After Xiao Changqing finished eating his own piece of candied haws, he became greedy for his father's big candied haws and insisted on eating it. However, after Si Yuan's outrageous operation, Xiao Changqing not only stopped making noises but also wanted to eat it. After eating the candied haws, he is also willing to give his share of tomorrow's candied haws to Si Yuan.
The filial piety reflected in this made Yu Yan feel anxious. Logically speaking, such a young child should be ignorant and do not know how to be filial to his parents. He should do things based on his heart, but her son has known filial piety since he was a child.
Yu Yan hugged her son's soft and small body and asked gently: "Really? But after giving tomorrow's candied haws to daddy, Changqing won't have any candied haws to eat tomorrow."
Xiao Changqing especially likes to eat candied haws. Si Yuan and Yu Yan were worried that the candied haws bought outside was not clean, so they asked their own chefs to make it at home. It was an improved version that tasted better than the candied haws from outside. Xiao Changqing liked it even more. .
Xiao Changqing thought that he would have no candied haws to eat tomorrow, and he felt a little embarrassed and depressed. However, he still looked back at his father who was sitting on the ground, sniffed and said, "It doesn't matter, Changqing." You can still eat candied haws on a stick the day after tomorrow, so give it to dad, dad looks so sad, he must really want to eat candied haws on a stick."
Xiao Changqing himself knows what it feels like to be particularly greedy for candied haws, so even if he doesn't have any candied haws to eat tomorrow, he still wants to share his candied haws with his father who is particularly greedy for candied haws.
Si Yuan stretched out his hand to take Xiao Changqing from Yu Yan's arms, smiled and rubbed Xiao Changqing's fair and tender face with his straight nose, and said happily: "Wow, Xiao Changqing is very fond of Dad. That’s great, Dad likes Xiao Changqing so much!”
Little Changqing blushed, raised his hands to cover his face in embarrassment, and whispered: "Changqing also likes daddy very much!" Although this daddy often competes with him for delicious food and toys, he still likes daddy very much. .
Si Yuan asked with a smile: "What about grandma? Does Xiao Changqing like grandma?"
Xiao Changqing replied loudly without hesitation: "I like it! I like my mother-in-law too!"
Yu Yan's smile was so sweet that it touched her heart.
Si Yuan suddenly asked Xiao Changqing seriously: "But what should I do if my mother-in-law doesn't have candied haws?"
Xiao Changqing was immediately asked, yes, he gave tomorrow's candied haws to his father, so what should grandma do if she doesn't have candied haws?
Xiao Changqing scratched his head and said in a sweet voice: "Then, let me give my candied haws the day after tomorrow to my mother-in-law."
Si Yuan stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of his face: "Then, Chang Qing, you won't be able to eat candied haws on a stick for two days."
Xiao Changqing pursed his lips. He wanted to cry when he thought that he would not be able to eat candied haws for two days. However, he looked at his father in front of him and then at his mother next to him. He couldn't eat candied haws, and he didn't want to make his parents sad.
He whispered with red eyes: "If I can't eat it for two days, I won't eat it. But can you not let me see my father and mother eating candied haws? I can't help but want to eat it when I see it..."
Yu Yan was so moved by her son's childish and cute words that she hugged him. She couldn't help but kiss her son's cute face twice: "Why is my grandma so kind? I really like her so much!" "
Yu Yan was originally like all parents of this era, reserved and solemn, and her love for her son was reserved and not overt.
But when his son was just able to speak, Si Yuan's behavior was more unrestrained. He could hold his son if he wanted to, kiss his son if he wanted to, and he could say to his son anytime, anywhere, "Daddy loves you, daddy loves you so much", so When my son first learned to speak, the first words he said were "I like my father" and "I like my father".
This made Yu Yan very jealous, and then Yu Yan also abandoned the lady's reserve and dignity, and began to imitate Si Yuan, kissing and hugging his son, and often confessing that he liked him and loved him, so that his son could clearly feel it. , Grandma loves him no less than Dad.
Xiao Changqing, who grew up in such a loving environment, naturally became a sensible child who did not hesitate to express his love for his parents.
So at this time, Xiao Changqing, who was faced with the news that his mother-in-law said he liked him, responded happily: "Changqing also likes my mother-in-law, I like her very much."
Yu Yan was so happy that she waved her hand and said: "Then let the kitchen make three more sugar haws today, one for each of us, no need for Xiao Changqing..."
Before Yu Yan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Si Yuan: "Changqing, this is my mother's reward for your willingness to share tomorrow's and the day after tomorrow's candied haws with my father and mother. Changqing is a good and filial boy. , my father and mother were very happy, so I decided to give Xiao Changqing a reward."
Yu Yan originally wanted to say that Xiao Changqing would give her and Si Yuan their share of the candied haws tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but was interrupted by Si Yuan. She just glanced at Si Yuan and did not continue.
Because she found that Si Yuan looked unreliable, but in terms of educating children, all kinds of coquettish manipulations were much more effective than her educational methods.
As long as it was for the benefit of the children, Yu Yan was not unable to accept Si Yuan's unconventional education methods.
Xiao Changqing didn't think so much. When he heard Si Yuan say that this was a reward for him, he was immediately overjoyed. He cheered and applauded: "That's great, thank you, Mom!"
Si Yuan asked the chef to make three small candied haws on a stick and delivered them to him. Then Si Yuan pointed to the three small candied haws on a stick and asked Xiao Changqing: "Do you know who these three candied haws on a stick should belong to?"
Xiao Changqing looked at the three small candied haws, thought seriously for a while, then picked up a small candied haws from the tray, handed it to Si Yuan's hand, and said: "This is my candied haws for tomorrow, for my father."
Then he picked up the second small candied haws, and handed it to Yu Yan: "This is my candied haws the day after tomorrow, for my mother-in-law."
He held the last candied haws in his hand, looked at it cherishedly, and couldn't bear to eat it: "This is the reward my mother gave me today."
Si Yuan smiled and touched little Changqing's head, and said happily: "Changqing is so smart, he didn't make mistakes."
After the child finished eating this small candied haws, rinsed his mouth, rubbed his eyes and was taken to take a nap by the nanny, Yu Yan looked at Si Yuan and asked: "Why did you stop me just now and didn't let me finish what I said?"
Si Yuan chewed up the last candied haws, swallowed it, continued to sit lazily on the ground, and said, "Do you want to make up for Chang Qing's extra candied haws for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"
Yu Yan asked: "What's wrong? Changqing is so filial and sensible, but it's just two candied haws, are you still reluctant to part with it?"
Although Si Yuan has not gone out to work or entered a casino in the past three years, he has also accepted invitations from some friends to attend some banquets. There are always activities such as cockfighting and horse racing at such banquets. Every time Si Yuan can Returned with a full load.
So their family is not short of money at all now, and it can even be said that they can't spend all the money for the time being.
Of course, Si Yuan would not be reluctant to part with the two candied haws. He explained: "No, what I want to say is that you can't replace the two candied haws with Xiao Changqing in this direct way. If you do this every time, it will This gave Xiao Changqing a misunderstanding - as long as he shows filial piety, he can get more things. If things go on like this, he may not be filial for the sake of filial piety, but be filial for the sake of gain."
Yu Yan frowned slightly: "If that's the case, then you emphasized before that you rewarded him with a candied haws because of his filial piety?"
Si Yuan said: "He is filial to us with two candied haws, and we reward him with one candied haws. Does he think that his filial behavior can obtain more benefits? The reward of this candied haws just tells him that his behavior of being filial to his parents is What is correct is what we like and praise. Children's filial piety cannot be taken for granted. If it makes children feel cold, they must be praised and rewarded appropriately. Only by recognizing them can they be more motivated."
Yu Yan looked thoughtful.
Si Yuan continued: "As for his share of candied hawsers tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there is no need to give him. It is also a good thing for children to eat less candied haws."
Yu Yan said a little embarrassedly: "But Changqing likes to eat candied haws so much. Isn't it bad to let him watch us eat while he drools with greed?" She would feel sorry for her son.
Si Yuan said: "Then we will share half of the candied haws with him tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then tell him that it is because my father and mother love him that he is willing to share his favorite candied haws with him. Teach the children to learn to share..."
Yu Yan suddenly understood after hearing this. She looked at her husband with a smile and joked: "My husband said before that he might not understand anything when he became a father for the first time, and he was worried that he would not be able to raise a good father. But now he has to educate his children." He knows more than me."
Si Yuan sighed slightly: "Because of the situation, there is no other way..." After all, he can't become someone else's cheap father and then raise his child crookedly, right?
The system bubbles to refresh the sense of presence: [The host should thank me more. If it weren’t for the various parenting scriptures I collected, how could you know so many parenting scriptures? 】
Si Yuan: […Thank you for your parenting experience. It’s so expensive in the mall and I can’t afford it. 】
System: [...] I took a look at the purchase records in the mall and found that, as always, only the product 'World Affinity' had been purchased, and Si Yuan had not purchased anything else at all.
So, did the host think up the parenting tips on his own? Didn’t I say that I have never been a father and don’t know anything about educating children?
Si Yuan said calmly: [Maybe it's because I'm a genius. 】A true genius is one who has no flaws in any aspect, even in raising children.
