Chapter 195: Chapter 195: If You Get Sick
No matter how self-disciplined a child may be, they definitely don’t want their childhood to be filled entirely with studying.
Without a doubt, this is the request of their elders at home.
And a parent who truly loves their child will generally respect their wishes. Even if they think the child lacks judgment and want them to attend interest classes, they wouldn’t go so far as to fill all their spare time. Adults need leisure time, let alone children who lack self-control?
For a kindergarten child, it’s enough to cultivate one extra artistic skill.
Gu Chi didn’t ask further.
He could satisfy his curiosity or criticize as an outsider, but if Yi Kai’s elders learned of this matter, they wouldn’t criticize him; they would only blame or even punish Yi Kai, indirectly reprimanding him.
"Miaomiao will practice later, do you want to watch?"
Yi Kai looked at the study machine with some hesitation.
This was a daily task to complete. To be precise, his father said that on the show, he needs to work harder than at home.
Usually at home, if his father was too busy or he pleaded with the nanny, he could skip studying for a day or two, and the nanny wouldn’t tell his father.
But on the show, he must perform well.
Both he and his brother received this task.
However, he really wanted to see Miaomiao practice. The kids here were quite friendly.
At this moment, Gu Jiujiu’s voice came from outside the door.
"I want to practice too! Miaomiao, teach me!"
The tone was cheerful and lively, unlike Gu Jiujiu from yesterday when they first arrived.
Soon after, the voices of the twins also rang out.
Gu Chi smiled and patted Yi Kai on the shoulder, "Do what you want to do, or you might miss out and regret it."
Yi Kai couldn’t help but run out.
Gu Chi turned off the study machine.
Meanwhile, the early risers made a big fuss over this matter.
One side believed that Yi Kai’s parents had taught him well, very self-disciplined, with a clear schedule from morning to night, no time to get into trouble or watch TV. When he grows up, he will surely be an outstanding person.
The other side thought that Yi Kai’s childhood was filled with studying, which wasn’t good for his mental health. Even if a person with poor mental health becomes an outstanding figure in a field, they are prone to issues.
[Cultivating a child should start early, Yi Kai will thank his parents in the future]
[It’s not about not cultivating, but arranging too much without any breathing space. Adults can’t stand it, let alone children]
[He’s not doing these things because he likes them, but because of parental demands. Do you know what that means? He’s being pushed forward by his parents. Once there’s a day his parents can’t watch over him, he’ll have a severe backlash]
[I remember such a case, where someone from kindergarten to high school had a packed schedule, good grades, multi-talented. Of course, it wasn’t his choice; it was the parents’ choice. When he went to college and the parents couldn’t manage him immediately, he suddenly deteriorated, which was a pity]
[Stop competing]
[Is aspiring for your child to succeed considered competing? Shouldn’t my child be like you young people who do nothing?]
[You can tell these young people don’t have children, they don’t get it]
[Yeah, my child just joined a dance interest class, once even insisted on practicing with an injured leg, and performed in front of relatives during New Year, which made me proud. All my efforts weren’t in vain]
[Same here, my son’s grades are excellent; he can also play the piano. From elementary to high school, every time I attend a parent-teacher meeting, people ask me how I cultivate my child. Well, how do I do it? Except for school time, all other time is for enrichment classes and interests classes, so there’s no time for mischief]
[...These ’parents’ in front, are you really doing this for your own sake or for the child?]
[I’m unmarried and childless, but I used to be a child. I don’t want today’s children to go through what I did. You only have one childhood, and it’s not filled with studying that grants a future. If you never experience happiness, does such a life have meaning?]
Miao Mu also noticed the debate about education in the livestream, but he didn’t pay attention.
A thousand households have a thousand parenting experiences, and as long as it’s a parenting show, it’ll eventually fall into the ’education’ whirlpool.
He can’t afford to provoke the audience, so he doesn’t care.
Tuanzi began to practice the horse stance, noticed her friends gathered around, and asked with interest, "Do you want to learn? You can practice the horse stance together."
Her little mouth babbled, "Exercising the body makes eating and drinking better..."
Pausing, she added, "And learning better."
Several children mimicked her horse stance and shared their experiences of being sick upon hearing this.
Gu Jiujiu said sadly, "Food doesn’t taste good, and my nose is all stuffed up."
Ai Tanbo added, "And I have to get shots. My sister is really scared of shots."
"No, I’m not!" Ai Fengyi pushed his brother.
"It’s you who’s scared of shots, crying every time!"
Tuanzi watched them bicker with a smile and noticed Yi Kai not speaking, so she asked, "What about you?"
She was a bit surprised, "Have you never been sick? That would be amazing!"
"No, no, I’ve been sick too."
Yi Kai carefully recalled, "Being sick isn’t good because it’s hard to learn when you’re sick."
His father didn’t allow him to stop studying because he was sick.
But when sick, his head was dizzy, his eyes couldn’t see clearly, his nose was stuffed, and eating was tasteless.
Even if he spent several times more effort, it was hard to achieve the usual study results.
Doing poorly meant criticism.
Yi Kai nodded seriously, "Being sick is not good at all."
Tuanzi: "..."
Her big puppy eyes widened, "You had to study when you were sick? How scary!"
She recalled her own experience.
"When Miaomiao was sick, she could skip practice. Whatever she wanted to eat, her master would make it. Even if I snatched my master’s roasted chicken, he wouldn’t say anything, nor would he chase Miaomiao around the mountain with a broom."
The good thing about being sick is that you can act freely, and the master won’t blame you. The bad thing is, her Qinggong was not as good as before, once falling from a branch into the master’s arms, like a sheep to the slaughter, boo hoo.
"In short, being sick is not good."
Tuanzi cheerfully said, "If Yi Kai brother gets sick, Miaomiao will surely hold you down, stop you from studying, and even make you something delicious."
The little boy was stunned, then blushed, "No need to make something delicious."
Just not having to study while sick would be wonderful.
Gu Jiujiu immediately raised her hand, "I’ll hold him down, and Miaomiao can cook."
The twins excitedly said, "We can wash rice and vegetables!"
They quickly planned what they would do if Yi Kai got sick.
Yi Kai scratched his head innocently, "But I’m not sick."
The kids burst into giggles.
"We’re just saying, imagining!"
Yi Kai also lifted his little head to imagine.
