Chapter 193 Lu Mingnan's Sensitive Thoughts
Upon receiving the order to be freed, Lu Mingnan quickly left the place where he had been standing for a long time, served him the food that had been left for him, and carried a small stool out with his other hand, obediently sitting down!
Lu Yuanqing glanced at him, then looked away and turned to the other three smaller ones.
"You've been playing outside every day lately. Do you remember the words and numbers I taught you?"
There is a difference between top students and poor students.
One person isn't afraid of being caught off guard by a surprise test, while the other completely collapses at the mere mention of an exam!
So, after Lu Yuanqing finished speaking, he stared at them, wanting to see their performance.
Cheng Xiaobao: "Third Uncle, I remember everything you taught me!"
Lu Yuanqing nodded. This child sends a letter he wrote himself to his father every month. With this kind of practice, he shouldn't forget it.
Lu Mingbei: "Third Uncle, I remember them all! 1, 2, 3, ... 99, 100, look, I can count to one hundred!"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
Everyone just listened as she counted to one hundred!
Lu Mingzhong: "Third Uncle, I remember them all too. I can count to one hundred!"
Lu Mingdong was the first to vouch for him: "I believe that. Xiao Zhong was competing against someone just a few days ago!"
He happened to witness the inexplicable comparisons between children's families!
Don't let him listen to the counting again!
Lu Yuanqing nodded, he believed her!
I was originally planning to use this opportunity to my advantage!
Who knew he had such a good memory, so they didn't give him the chance!
Thus, although Lu Yuanqing was a little annoyed that he couldn't teach them a lesson, he felt more gratified.
Great, it seems these three won't be academic underachievers either.
This is such a great result!
Lu Yuanqing: "That's right, you mustn't forget the knowledge I taught you!"
"You must understand that your third uncle spent time teaching you, so you must remember the knowledge and not waste his time!"
"When you go to school in the future, it will cost you money. If you don't study hard, you'll only be letting the school benefit. You must remember to ask your teachers if you don't understand something. Don't give back the knowledge you've learned to the school. That would be such a waste of money!"
Lu Yuanbo/Lu Mingdong: "..." This idea? ???
The three little rascals said, "Okay, we definitely won't return it to the school!"
Lu Mingnan: "..." Was he the only one who wasted his tuition?
Is that why Uncle San blames him?
Thinking about it this way, I realize that I did make a mistake.
He shouldn't try to avoid going to school just because studying is painful.
His third uncle paid his tuition, and he's just wasting money!
Believing he had found the reason, Lu Mingnan readily admitted his mistake: "Third Uncle, I was wrong. I shouldn't have wasted my tuition!"
But he really couldn't concentrate on learning. As soon as he heard the teacher lecturing, no matter how much he tried to encourage himself, his mind went blank when he looked at the knowledge on the blackboard. Then he felt so painful and uncomfortable that he didn't want to sit in the classroom and just wanted to leave!
He felt that sitting in the classroom was torture.
Lu Yuanqing's lips twitched a few times, and he didn't know what to say!
"Do you think I'm punishing you for wasting your tuition? Do you really believe you made that mistake?"
"Hmm!" Lu Mingnan lowered his head and responded dejectedly.
He felt that he was stupid, couldn't learn anything, and always made his third uncle angry because of it.
He's probably the one who angered Uncle the most!
He didn't want to, but he really couldn't compare to his older siblings. They could get first or second place, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yuanqing's anger dissipated!
Was he pushing too hard? I often heard older generations say that studying is a person's destiny; some people study casually and become very successful, like Lu Mingdong, while others find studying a form of torture, like Lu Mingnan.
Lu Yuanqing understood that it was a matter of time, but to actually say that Lu Mingnan didn't need to go to school was something Lu Yuanqing never even considered; it was impossible.
Putting everything else aside, just considering that his siblings all went on to high school and university while he couldn't even graduate from elementary school, Lu Yuanqing couldn't even imagine what kind of consequences would follow.
Now that there is no compulsory education, it is impossible to graduate from junior high school without any obstacles.
Now, if an exam is required, it's a dead end!
Elementary school only lasts five years, and Lu Mingnan will be in second grade this fall. Given his current state, he's still a long way from middle school. He needs to catch up. How can we just let him be?
Lu Yuanqing shook his head, putting those possibilities that had not yet occurred out of his mind.
He said in a serious tone, "If you only think that I'm angry because of the tuition fee, then you're very wrong!"
Lu Yuanbo was also dissatisfied, "That's right, Xiao Nan, when did your third uncle ever think like this about tuition fees? Back when our family was struggling to make ends meet, your third uncle was still trying to find ways to get your aunt, your sister, and your brother back to school!"
Back then, other families would ask the production brigade to borrow grain, but their family asked the brigade to borrow money to register them.
They've already suffered so much, yet Lu Yuanqing didn't want to make their studies even harder. Is he really concerned about the tuition fees?
Lu Mingnan hung his head, and in the darkness, no one could see his tears falling.
He didn't want to cry.
Who in their family doesn't know how good their third uncle is?
He was just feeling down and his thoughts were all over the place. He felt that his third uncle used to like him so much, but just because he wasn't good at studying, it seemed like he didn't like him anymore!
He tried to comfort himself, telling himself that his most respected third uncle was not that kind of person, not like those teachers or family members who judge a person's worth by their grades.
When he wasn't in school, his third uncle doted on him!
But he hadn't felt this kind of love in a long time. All he knew was that he was last in his class, and his third uncle was very angry and his words weren't as kind as before!
Sometimes, he even felt that he was just not good enough and couldn't make him as happy as his older brother and sister.
My aunt got into university, my older sister got into a vocational school, and my older brother got into junior high school. During that time, my third uncle was always smiling. Whenever he saw someone on the street and they casually praised him, he would stop and show off, even though he was so busy.
The three of them would take turns praising her before leaving satisfied.
At that time, he hadn't started school yet, but he fantasized that if he were just as good at studying, his third uncle might include him when praising others next time!
However, the result seemed to disappoint Uncle San.
Because of his aunt and her family, when others saw him going to school, they asked him a few questions about his grades. They were probably waiting for his third uncle to say something, so he could praise him.
But when Uncle San heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he casually brushed it off.
Lu Mingnan was heartbroken for a long time after seeing this!
