Chapter 57: Chapter 56 Chen An’an’s Learning Issues

Chen An’an couldn’t play casually anymore.

She obediently followed Bai Xin into her two-story children’s room.

The room was beautifully decorated and spacious.

Bai Xin believed that there was always a reason why kids didn’t like studying, like how she could always come first because she truly wanted to be first.

The daughter of the uncle’s family was different; she seemed completely unaware of the importance of studying or even the idea of wanting to learn.

If her mindset wasn’t fundamentally changed, even the best teachers would be useless.

Actually, a good teacher mainly works to ignite students’ desire to learn.

Only then can they become self-motivated to improve.

If they can’t even do that, the good will always be good, and the bad will always be bad.

This was precisely the current state of domestic education.

She decided to start with a psychological approach.

“An’an, can you tell the teacher what your dream is when you grow up?”

Chen An’an was confused. Shouldn’t the teacher be teaching her how to do homework?

Why was she asking these questions?

She honestly replied, “I want to be a scientist when I grow up.”

“Why do you want to be a scientist?”

“The teacher said scientists are very powerful.”

So it was the teacher’s idea, not her genuine dream.

At the age of six, a child’s thoughts are quite changeable; if one can stay firm, they would definitely be very promising when they grow up.

Just like her, the academic tyrant.

“An’an, being a scientist requires very good grades.”

Bai Xin persuaded gently; Chen An’an let out a light ‘oh’, looking discouraged.

Being a scientist was out of reach, but she could still be a foodie.

“Teacher Bai, my dad often scolds me, saying if I don’t work hard, I’ll end up just being a landlady when I grow up. Is being a landlady a very scary job?”

Indeed scary. Just leave it to me, let’s swap.

Bai Xin took a sharp breath. The uncle’s daughter really needed more than simple psychological tactics.

No matter how bad, she’d still end up in Rome when she grew up.

A landlady, isn’t it just idling every day, sending a message in the group.

That person, pay your rent today.

That person, if you don’t pay your rent, I’ll kick you out.

Living such a life was genuinely boring.

But she was willing to be bored.

Bai Xin coughed twice, her mind whirling as she explained, “Being a landlady is indeed tiring, even harder than being a scientist.”

Chen An’an asked, “Doesn’t that require even better grades?”

“No, you just need to have hands.”

Let’s go back to your homework. If we keep this up, I fear my moral compass might collapse.

Bai Xin was still very optimistic and humorous when teaching others.

Chen An’an liked her classes very much, just not the other discussions.

The biggest issue for the daughter of the uncle’s family currently was not understanding the significance of learning.

It was difficult to explain. She couldn’t just say become an academic tyrant like me and you could earn a million a year when you grow up.

If she did, they would be utterly baffled.

A million a year, is that a lot of money?

Just a small house in my family is worth tens of millions.

It’s quite embarrassing.

Most people are taught to study hard and be successful when they grow up.

Bai Xin was already a bit puzzled, being born in the uncle’s kind of family, what exactly does success even mean?

No matter how bad, they would still have houses given by their family.

This life only required them not to start businesses, not to gamble and not to use that “thing.”

The money was destined to be endless.

So for them, what did they need to be successful for?

Being too successful can lead to wanting to start a business, and if a rich second generation starts a business, it is likely to backfire.

No matter how big the family enterprise, handing it over to those who never lived at the grassroots, whatever they learned would inevitably be an illusion, just a mirage.

The chances of succeeding were absolutely less than one in a hundred.

Rather than that, it’s better to live a secure and carefree life.

Bai Xin decided to have a good chat with the uncle about this issue and to resolve the confusion in her heart.

After all, she was an actress, and what is the most important thing for an actress?

That’s acting skills.

And the so-called acting skills are not just a few external expressions.

It is about being able to precisely grasp the inner world of the character, that is, the psychological logic of the character.

Only then, even a casual blinking of an eye or a simple gesture of lifting a hand to smoke could demonstrate exquisite acting skills.

Otherwise, it would be overdoing it.

Take Chen An’an, for example, playing this kind of rich heiress, suddenly throwing in some inspirational expressions like “I want to strive, I want to work hard.”

Wouldn’t that be quite out of character?

It definitely would be.

Because she fundamentally lacks the need to make an effort.

She doesn’t even consider it.

She started to understand why Zhao Liying was directly chosen by the uncle as the leading role and even supported with a lot of resources.

The reason might be very simple: she came from a rural area and had been an extra in the ensemble for six years.

Having encountered a wide variety of characters, she naturally could empathize with these characters’ psychological states.

On the contrary, if there is a lack of social experience and life traces, the characters portrayed will just be hollow and insincere.

This is also a common problem with current popular stars.

Having finished a class, Song Yanxi had already prepared the meal.

Her family could afford a nanny, but there was no need for that.

Preparing meals three times a day was the responsibility of the wife.

If a woman didn’t even cook at home, where would a man feel the sense of returning home?

Then home would just become a hotel.

Bai Xin observed carefully and constantly pondered.

Life is truly full of lessons everywhere.

Chen An’an was, and Song Yanxi even more so.

Chen Pingsheng brought her chopsticks, “Try my wife’s cooking; she was once the best cook in our village for miles around.”

Three dishes and one soup, life was relatively simple.

It would be a pity if Song Yanxi didn’t become a star, Bai Xin thought she was too beautiful.

That demeanor, completely like the most beautiful bright moonlight.

Even after having a child.

“Uncle, I found that An’an is particularly smart, she just doesn’t know the purpose of studying?”

“You noticed it too.”

Chen Pingsheng said, “When she was little, her grandparents would often tell her to study hard when she grew up so she could be successful. Later, as my family gradually prospered, this little one realized we had everything and suddenly became complacent.”

“As if she didn’t need to strive anymore, even somewhat decent grades plummeted in the first grade.”

Just as staying good requires a long persistence, becoming bad needs only one reason.

At the moment, it was clear that Chen An’an had found that reason to let her grades worsen.

“What should she do then?”

“What can she do?”

Chen Pingsheng continued, “Actually, her mother and I have discussed this issue. Currently, Chen An’an’s key problem is still that she hasn’t found her true interests. Studying needs motivation, and interests are that driving force.”

“Only when she finds what she truly loves will she dive into it head-first.”

It seemed to make sense.

Bai Xin nodded, the uncle’s approach to education was quite unique.

The main focus was on cultivating interests.

If she liked all sorts of plants, let her plant them at will.

If after a few years she still liked it, she could pursue agricultural projects when she grew up.

If she liked dancing,

That definitely wouldn’t happen, her physique already ruled her out.

Playing the piano, painting?

It was very obvious none were her own passion.

When she grew up, whatever she liked doing, she should just do it, as long as she doesn’t go down the wrong path.

That’s parental love.

In the end, they would give her what she most wanted when they were capable.
