"Lily." Nana, a girl, was sitting on the bench on the back porch of Grande. "What is Uncle Logan going to do?" she asked, looking at Logan walking by with a shovel in his hand.
"Do bad things." The woman who was Root's secretary replied after looking at each other.
"What bad thing?" Nana asked.
Lily sighed and picked up Nana, "It's something bad that will give you nightmares at night." After entering the house, she went directly upstairs to hold the girl to bed.
"Let me see Adam." The girl in Lily's arms requested.
"Adam is asleep."
"I can wake him up~" Nana said matter-of-factly.
"The vampire will be unhappy." Lily looked at the girl in her arms, "And you know, I can't beat the vampire." The vampire here is Zach.
"It's not fair." Nana also looked at the woman holding her, "Why can Adam be raised by a vampire, but I can only be raised by a ghoul like you."
There is something to be said. Zach talked about solving the problem of Lily becoming a child kidnapper in the West.
Now the problem is solved ~ Zach not only eliminated Lily's legal problems in the west, but also went one step further and went to the Lying Quinn Orphanage. After a quick operation, he got all the necessary documents. Nana has officially become a Lily's daughter. Hence the phrase 'unfair' above.
These words obviously hit Lily, who stood speechless with the girl in her arms, curling her lips, "No child can choose who will be his parents, guardian, or provider. This has nothing to do with fairness."
Well. Lily had countless correct ways to establish Nana's values at this time, and Lily chose the one... correct, but the most difficult to understand.
Nana didn't know what she understood in her little head. After being quiet for a while, she tilted her head and said, "Then I hope Adam has a hard life."
Lily opened her mouth and said, "Nana, why do you say such things? Who taught you this?" She put the girl down and looked like she wanted to educate her seriously.
Nana had a normal expression, "No one taught me, that's what I think. Adam didn't choose to have a powerful guardian, but he could choose to live a life of pain. That's fair."
Children's brain circuits are not magical, but they tend to go to places that adults have forgotten. That place is called innocence.
"No." Lily said seriously, "The Nana I know is a kind and good girl." Don't take it seriously, this is just a common mistake most new parents make. They always think that they can make their children look like a certain way, "Not now This bad girl who curses others casually. I didn't teach you to curse others."
Nana rolled her eyes.
Lily was stunned for a moment, and then she was ignited. "That's enough!" She picked up Nana and strode towards her bedroom.
The door to the master bedroom opened, and Zach looked at Lily passing by, "Tell me, you won't physically punish a little human girl next to my room."
Lily looked back at Zach, "Did I teach you how to teach children?" Zach didn't need to answer, "I didn't. So I suggest you don't tell me what to do." After entering her room, she closed the door and turned Nana out. Put it down, "Corner, stand still!"
Nana looked at Lily for a while, tilted her head, and walked to the corner.
Lily took out a picture album that looked like a children's reference book, walked towards Nana in the corner, sat down cross-legged, and opened the picture album in front of Nana, "You know what to do."
Nana looked at Lily for another moment, this time glaring, and said, "I hate math!"
The picture book is about children's mathematics, and the page Lily opens is about single-digit addition.
"And you hate admitting mistakes."
Uh... This routine sounds a bit familiar.
Lily pushed the opened picture album in front of Nana, "Recite math or apologize for the mistakes you made. Choose one."
Nana clenched her little fists and spent a long time staring at Lily. Finally, "2 plus 3 equals 5..."
Lily frowned, this was not the result she expected. So, I raised my hand to turn the page. Subtraction.
While Lily was turning the page, Nana glared at Lily again, "I hate subtraction!!" Naturally, her tone became more serious.
Lily gave a look that said you know what I'm going to say.
Nana shook her little fist at her side, "6 minus 2 equals..."
Lily frowned and turned the page again. multiplication.
The atmosphere was tense.
A weak human girl and a not-so-powerful but not-so-bad ghoul stared at each other in this room.
"I'm sorry!" Nana gave up first.
The picture album in front of her was not closed. "I'm sorry for what?" Lily asked.
"I shouldn't roll my eyes at you, that's a bad habit!" Nana stared at Lily, her eyes motionless. It's so obvious that this girl has decided at this moment that in the future of her life, she will have to roll her eyes countless times to make up for this... haha, 'humiliation'...
So, this apology was predictably rejected by Lily, "No, this is not what you want to apologize for." Her finger was already pointing at 3 times 4 in the album, and she was moving, telling Nana with her actions that if you This is the punishment you face for not saying the apology I wanted to hear...
"I'm sorry!" Nana seemed anxious. Maybe the number exceeding 10 was her key point. "I shouldn't think that Adam's life should be fair!"
Lily frowned again. No, this was still not the apology she wanted. Looking at Nana's face, Lily seemed to feel that she had missed something important...
There was a knock on the door.
"Don't move." Lily gave the order and stood up to open the door. "Well, I told you to leave it alone..."
Standing at the door was Zach, waving his hand to interrupt Lily, "We don't care how each other educates our children." Zach's mouth curled up, "But we can learn from each other~" Zach's head crossed the crack in the door and faced the corner Nana waved her hand with a sullen face, and then continued to look at Lily with a smile, "I'm learning from you, well, what do you call 'it'? The 'choose one' method is perfect, whether you agree or not, I learned it. And you, you can learn from me a little bit..." Zach stepped into Lily's room, how should I explain the world to my children. "
Lily pursed her lips, her eyes speechless. Look at what the vampire said. Who can refuse this concept of sneaking in, this flattery
Lily waved her hand and let Zach go.
Zach sat across from Nana without closing the picture book. This was truly a lesson in learning the essence of Lily’s education method. The bad options should always be there as motivation.
"Do you really think life has to be fair for everyone?" Zach asked.
"yes!"
"Why?" Zach continued to ask.
"Because!" Nana paused, "It feels bad to be unfair!"
It seems like... it tells the truth.
"But things that make people feel bad." Zach flipped through the picture album in front of Nana, "It won't disappear just because you hate it." Zach also paused, "Most of the time, we can only keep it between two Choose one of the nasty things to endure.”
Nana lowered her head and after a while said, "What if I don't want to endure it?"
"Then I think Lily will keep you standing here."
Lily had something to say, "You must be sick! She is still a child, I didn't ask you to teach her how big this world is..."
Zach interrupted Lily before the expletive came out.
Nana, "Then I'm sorry, I shouldn't have cursed Adam."
Zach turned back and smiled at Lily, stood up, and left.
"Oh, by the way." He turned back after going out, "When Nana goes to sleep, go to the cemetery and help Logan. He is too slow for a human, and it will be bad if he is discovered by the security guard."
Snapped! Lily slammed the door.
