After returning home, Yueyue kept in touch with the friends she made in country m. During the following winter and summer vacations, her mother did not help her and her brother sign up for summer camps. Instead, they asked their father to take them on a trip. When they went out with their father for the first time, Yueyue and her brother were a little nervous and scared. Because their father was stricter than their mother, but as soon as they got off the high-speed train, they were attracted by the scenery in front of them, the towering mountains, the buildings with ethnic style, the blue sky and soft clouds. Dongdong and Yueyue seemed to have returned to their happy hometown and spent these seven very pleasant days. These seven days were also the first time in Li Changhe's forty-two years of life that he experienced joyful emotions. It's different from the excitement when you break through a problem, and it's also different from the joy when you get married to your wife. This feeling of joy is unprecedented and different from anything before. Dongdong and Yueyue rely on him very much. They worship and trust him as their father, no matter how harsh he used to be. Li Changhe has to write down his wife's instructions every night in his notebook so that he can restrain himself from asking about his children's study status. For seven days, they did not discuss study, but during this seven-day journey, they learned more than before. He once heard colleagues complain that the children at home were crying and disobedient, and traveling with their children was a kind of torture, but Li Changhe did not feel this way. Dongdong and Yueyue's enthusiasm for nature made them not afraid of hard work and fatigue. Li Changhe suddenly discovered that in addition to their IQ, his children were also very tough, which was enough for them to face the wind and rain in their future lives.
When the father and son returned home, it was just in time for the weekend. Su Tang and Li Qiu, who had just returned from Thailand, prepared a real feast. The father-in-law and mother-in-law who were far away in Jiang City sent a lot of seafood. The father and son, who had just returned from a tourist attraction with ethnic customs, enjoyed a sumptuous seafood feast. The more he gets along with his children and the more he lets go of those so-called achievements, Li Changhe feels as if he is making up for who he was in a certain period in the past. He opened the notebook in the box again, thick black leather notebooks, seven in total, recording his thoughts from the age of six to eighteen. He saw his nine-year-old self reading countless books and questions every day when he woke up, and envied the children playing football downstairs. He wrote in his notebook that if he had children in the future, he would give them a childhood full of joy instead of countless numbers. In the last notebook, the eighteen-year-old myself started her junior year in college and won a meaningful award. His parents felt that he was mature enough and began to withdraw from his life. He wrote in his notebook that he would rush to his own life. Li Changhe stayed up all night, reading and re-reading his childhood diary, and said to his wife who woke up: "You are right, we just need to lay a good foundation for them, and their future life should be decided by themselves." The couple both tried to make changes. The blackboard in the living room would have some things written on it at first, but by the time Dongdong Yueyue graduated from elementary school, it had been idle for a year. Spring passed and autumn came, and the two children entered the second grade of junior high school in the blink of an eye. Every summer and winter vacation starting from the third grade of elementary school, Li Changhe would accompany his son and daughter to travel. In just a few seconds, they walked through grassland, saw snow-capped mountains, stepped across deserts, saw the sea, and tried various extreme sports such as skydiving and bungee jumping. But at the same time, they did not give up studying. Although the things in school were simple, their parents still asked them to attend classes step by step with their classmates. In their free time, their mother and godmother would take them to the library to read. In the quiet library, their reading volume increased rapidly. On Saturday and Friday, I will go to tutoring classes to study. On travel days, his father would explain relevant astronomy and geography to them. At night, his father would personally tutor them in Mathematical Olympiads. There is always a month during the holidays when they go to their grandparents to learn physics and chemistry. The two also participated in large and small competitions, and finally had the opportunity to walk during their freshman year of high school. From birth to now, the choice they face now is undoubtedly the biggest for Dongdong and Yueyue. Do I choose to go to college now or go after high school?
If they choose to go to college now, Dongdong and Yueyue always feel that they have missed something. If they choose to finish high school, they have already learned high school in the second year of junior high school. For them now, it is not difficult enough. Both of them prefer geography to mathematics. They don't know whether they want to explore mathematics like their father. Li Changhe has experience, and Su Tang has also searched for a lot of information. They are not like parents who desperately persuade their children to start the next journey as soon as possible. Instead, they analyze the pros and cons of each option from all angles, and then put the choice in their hands. Yueyue and Dongdong are very entangled. They like geography, but they are afraid that their parents' previous hard work will be in vain, and they are also afraid that their previous efforts and competitions will become a joke, so they dare not make a decision. They asked Su Tang blankly: "Mom, can we really choose by ourselves? Regardless of the consequences." "Okay, you are so smart, you must have plans for your future. Mom and dad can't always help you make decisions." Su Tang believed in his children. Over the years, her two children have traveled to more places than her, and have read more widely than her. They are also smarter than her, and have won medals in competitions at a young age. She didn't want to delay her children with her little knowledge other than medicine, so she hired a professional teacher to talk to her children. Li Qiu was in the Sahara when he saw the Genius Youth report. He saw Dongdong and Yueyue being recommended to the junior class of BGI. He couldn't restrain his excitement and immediately bought a ticket and flew back to China. When Su Tang opened the door, she was a little surprised to see Li Qiu, who had a dark complexion. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen her friend for half a year. As soon as Li Qiu saw Su Tang, he immediately asked: "Where are my two promising darlings?" Su Tang first pulled her friend in, poured her water, and then said, "It's unfortunate that you came back. You went to live with their grandparents. You'll be back in about two days." "You're in such a hurry, have you seen the report?" "Yeah, that's the University of Washington! I knew that Dongdong and Yueyue would definitely achieve something, but I think they both like geography more. I thought they didn't want to go." "Dongdong and Yueyue said that although they love geography more than mathematics, they only love it. Mathematics is more challenging." Su Tang also thought that the two children would choose geography. Li Qiu did not see the children. Although she was a little regretful, she was not sad. Instead, she asked excitedly when the two children would be reported. She wanted to send them off in person... As they talked, the two went to the mall to do some shopping and choose gifts for the children. Thank you everyone for your votes and support~
