Not all feelings between relatives are pure.
Everything that some elders invest in their juniors is regarded as an investment, a paid investment.
This is not to say that all family relationships are so cold, but it cannot be denied that such family relationships definitely exist.
Shi Qing forced a smile: "Qiao Nan, don't you think what you said is too scary?" She realized that it turned out that soldiers in uniforms in the army also had gray areas and a side that did not want to make progress. Now, Qiao Nan He also told her that there is still this ugly side between relatives. Shi Qing is like those people in the army who just learned English, and they are extremely poorly adapted.
"Scary?" Qiao Nan suddenly became happy: "I know you like reading books. I will only introduce you to one person's works. If you read all his works, you will know whether what I said is really scary. .”
"You mean Mr. Lu Xun's books?"
"Yes, it's his, go find it yourself." The content of the articles arranged in the textbook are very good. The really powerful content has never been included in the textbook, so you have to find it yourself outside of class.
Shi Qing is also a person who does what he says and doesn't like procrastination.
Qiao Nan only gave her advice that night. Early the next morning, Shi Qing ran to Shi Peng: "Dad, if you have time, find someone to buy some books for me."
"Book?" Shi Peng looked at Shi Qing with interest: "What kind of book do you want to read, liberal arts or science. It's true that if you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be dark. In the past, during your summer vacation, let alone After reading, you don’t even bother to do the homework assigned by the school. Making a good friend is indeed very important to you. "
Shi Peng actually doesn't care whether his daughter does her homework or not, but the most important thing is her attitude.
His daughter is smart enough to learn everything quickly and get good grades since she was a child. As a father, Shi Peng will naturally worry that his daughter's path is too smooth, which may not be a good thing for her.
"I want to read Mr. Lu Xun's novels and some psychological books about social relationships. You can also ask someone to buy me more."
"You want to read these books?"
"Um!"
Shi Peng's slightly cold palm reached for the warm tea cup: "Qiao Nan asked you to see it?"
"The advice she gave me." So it's up to her whether to look at it or not.
Shi Peng's eyebrows were a little solemn: "Are you sure you want to see it?"
"I want to see, Dad, I just realized that in this world, good grades do not mean everything. Being a human being is much more complicated than this." Being a human being is not like solving questions, especially science questions. There is only one answer, and it is not wrong. That's right: "Dad, I want to grow up, and I should grow up too."
“Growing up comes with a price.”
"But you can't protect me forever."
"..." After a long while, Shi Peng finally answered: "Okay, I'll have someone send you the books you need in the afternoon. There's always no harm in reading more books." Shi Peng compromised.
Shi Qing's eyes lit up: "Dad, thank you." Thank you for your concern and protection for me all the time, but I think I have grown up.
"I have grown up." Shi Peng sighed. Qingqing thanked him not only for the book, but also for his protection of her in the past.
Shi Peng's psychology is actually very simple. He hopes that his daughter can have everything he has never enjoyed before. What he didn't expect was that his daughter was so successful that she didn't need the protection of her 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, causing the spare pens Qiao Nan put on the table to bounce.
"Hey, your dad helped you move the library here?" Looking at the books as high as a hill, Qiao Nan's mouth twitched: "Even if you want to read them, there are only one copy. This is just a pile. Your dad I’m really not afraid that you will get tired of studying.”
"That is, we in the Shi family either don't want to do something, or we have to do it quickly. Anyway, the summer vacation is only a quarter over, and I have plenty of time. I will definitely be able to finish reading these books." Wait for her to finish. In these books, the first person she wanted to know about was not others, but her own family.
She had to think carefully about what her grandfather meant by being so partial to Qiu Chenxi.
"I support you mentally." Qiao Nan let go of the bounced pen.
Shi Qing put some of the books in front of Qiao Nan with a "pop" sound: "This is yours."
Qiao Nan glanced at it, it was all sociology and psychology: "I don't want to read these books."
"That won't work. We are all good friends and we have to share the joys and sorrows." An academic book like this is the most boring. She has to pull up a quilt and read it alone. How boring. Two people read it together. Only then is there strength.
Qiao Nan looked sideways at Shi Qing: "When did we become friends? Why didn't I know?"
"Don't you know now?"
"We share the joys and sorrows together. I have so much homework, can you help me share it?"
"Oh, you can do it much faster than me. When it comes to homework, I haven't done more than you. We really have to share the joys and sorrows, and it's you who helps me share the burden." Although, she never does this kind of summer homework. She feels that summer homework is That's just a waste of time.
Qiao Nan almost didn't want to slap Shi Qing on the face. Anyway, no matter what, the final result could not escape her being taken advantage of by Shi Qing.
Qiao Nan casually picked up a cup of books and flipped through them. Not to mention the quality of the paper, some of them were from foreign countries. They were no worse than the books that Zhu Chengcheng gave her. These books were probably hard to buy. : "I'm showing you this kind of book, can you understand it?"
Shi Qing's English scores are not bad, but having good high school English scores does not mean that she can understand original English texts. Even if she had just flipped through a few pages, she still had to hold a dictionary to get through it.
"By the way, this is for you." Shi Qing pulled out a book that was as thick as an ancient pillow and gave it to Qiao Nan: "Read it slowly, it doesn't matter if I don't understand it, as long as you can understand it. When the time comes, I All I have to do is ask you what is written in this book, and that’s it!”
"Niu, Jin, Zi, Dian?" Qiao Nan's face darkened. Shi Qing was planning to use her as a translation tool.
"Yes, this dictionary is not that easy to buy now. You should make good use of the 1995 version." Her father had donated everything in his private treasury.
"The 1995 version, OALD?" Qiao Nan had heard about it a little bit.
"What OALD? I'm not sure, you can see for yourself." Shi Qing didn't understand English beyond the outline, and she was even less clear about issues like the Oxford Dictionary version. Qiao Nan suddenly showed up with an OALD, which made Shi Qing a little panicked.
