Chapter 278 You are the only little princess in our family
On the sixth day of the New Year, Xia Songlan started her return journey with her two children.
As a teacher, she cannot start school as late as the students, so she will go to school early to do some preliminary preparations.
As a doctor, it is even more impossible to take such a long vacation.
Even here, Xia Sumu worked around the clock to help her teach several classes, which allowed her to stay for a few more days.
The work in the emergency room was quite heavy, and Xia Songlan was afraid that Xia Sumu's body could not bear it, so she did not care about everyone's attempts to keep her and hurried back.
After returning to the capital, he only rested for one day before diving into his intensive work.
Xia Songlan sent the two children to their grandparents.
Grandpa treated her just like he did when she was a child, forcing Ning Ziqing to memorize prescriptions every day, learn about various herbs, and become familiar with their efficacy and properties.
Grandma took advantage of Ning Tianya and made her learn various musical instruments, mainly practicing the piano.
The two little guys' happy winter vacation was soon filled with activities arranged by the two old people, and they were not happy at all.
The children would complain to Xia Songlan that they had endless prescriptions to memorize and endless piano to play all day long.
Xia Songlan recalled the original owner's childhood experiences and shared them with the children with a smile, "Mom went through the same thing when she was a child.
Your great-grandfather always likes to say, "If you don't endure the most difficult things, you won't become a great man." Have you ever heard him say that?"
Ning Ziqing's bright eyes drooped, and he rolled his eyes in a cute way, "Great Grandfather said that yesterday.
Yesterday there was a prescription that called for five grams of Ligustrum lucidum, but I wrote it down as fifteen grams.
My great-grandfather slapped my palm for this and told me that I must be cautious when practicing medicine and must not be careless. Although it is only a few grams, a slight mistake can make a huge difference.
He also said that treating illness is like being a human being, one must value morality, learning, and skills. "
Xia Songlan smiled as she listened to her son's complaints in a childish voice, because these words were deep in her memory and the original owner had heard them more than once.
Ning Tianya also pouted her face and complained, "Grandma insisted that I learn the violin today, but I only want to play the piano.
She said that having many skills is always a blessing, and she also said that they are similar in nature, but I don’t understand what she meant by that.”
Xia Songlan hugged them, calmed the two children, and promised them, "When I have time this weekend, I will go and chat with my great-grandparents.
Ask them to lighten your workload.”
The little ones kept this in mind and asked Xia Songlan every day, "Mom, when will you rest?"
"Mom, you must remember to go to my great-grandfather's house and talk to my great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
It was the weekend and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Little New Year. It was a rare time for everyone to have a day off, so we made an appointment to go to my grandfather's courtyard to celebrate the Little New Year.
During the break after dinner, Xia Songlan tactfully expressed to her grandfather that she felt sorry for the children.
Grandpa blew his beard and glared, "Why are you so sad? Didn't you go through the same thing in the beginning?
I have said it many times, if you don’t endure hardship, you can’t become a superior person.
You are being lazy now, using being busy as an excuse and neglecting to come to study with me every week.
Remember, you must come to my place one day a week, just like before.
As the old saying goes, learning has no end, and the journey to learn is boundless and the journey requires hard work.
Don't give up studying or slack off on your studies just because you're a teacher.
You just started working last semester, and I understood that you were busy, so I didn't remind you. Starting from this semester, everything returned to the way it was before.
And you should start applying for a doctorate.
I hope you can report to Lao Chen next semester. I mentioned this to him during the Chinese New Year, and he is quite satisfied with your current performance. "
Xia Songlan never expected that she had come to plead for her daughter and son, but ended up getting herself involved.
Not only did I have to continue studying with my grandfather, but I also had to start applying for doctoral studies.
She sighed helplessly, but her grandfather heard it.
"Why? Are you dissatisfied with my age? Do you know how many people are lining up outside to learn from me?
It's just you and your mother, the older one uses work as an excuse to relax your studies, while the younger one just wants to play all day long."
Just then, grandma walked in. Xia Songlan hurried over, hugged her arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Grandma, grandpa scolded me again.
Oh, I’m so tired.”
Grandma pointed her index finger at Xia Songlan's forehead and said, "Who did Tianya take her personality from? She takes it all from you.
I just asked her to play the violin, and she acted like you, nudging her little head in my arms and acting coquettish.
When you were a child, you were alone, and your grandfather and I couldn't snatch you away, so we just let you practice the piano as a hobby.
But Tianya is different, you shouldn't speak for her.
Tianya is very talented and is the best talent I have seen in all these years. You cannot let your kindness ruin her life.
You should feel happy for Tianya. There are many talented children like her, but their talents are buried because their family conditions are not good enough.
There are also some people who have the family conditions but lack talent. Even if they are forced to study by their parents, no matter how hard they try, the results are minimal.
Our Tianya is different. We have everything going for us, the right time, the right place, and the right people. But if it were you, the dragging mother, the child would have been delayed.
You will regret it then."
Before Xia Songlan had the chance to plead for Ning Tianya, her grandmother's aura extinguished all her thoughts and words of pleas in the bud.
When he went to see the two children with his shoulders drooped in frustration, the children were very smart and could tell at a glance that Xia Songlan had failed.
Ning Ziqing pretended to be mature and patted Xia Songlan's arm. "It's okay, Mom. I have a good memory. It's just a prescription. It's nothing."
I'll tell you in secret, the homework my great-grandfather assigned me was not much at all. He only gave me one prescription every day, which I could usually finish in half an hour.
I just wanted to be lazy and go out and have fun.
Don't be sad, I will study hard. "
Ning Tianya nestled in Xia Songlan's arms, tilting her head back, "Mom, don't worry about me. In fact, I really like learning music from my great-grandmother.
I went to act like a spoiled child to you just because I wanted to be lazy.
And I found learning the violin quite interesting, and playing the violin while standing is much more comfortable than sitting down."
Xia Songlan felt deeply gratified when she saw these two sensible children.
But she pretended to pout in grievance and acted like a spoiled child to the children, "Mom, you are so pitiful, just now your great-grandfather asked me to come to his place to study every week in the future.
I have to memorize prescriptions like before, and from now on I will be classmates with little Ziqing."
The children, in turn, comforted Xia Songlan, speaking sweet words to her.
Xia Songlan was originally pretending to be aggrieved, but she felt so comfortable when being comforted by the two caring little darlings.
Later she called Ning Jingmo and told him about it.
I feel like I'm going backwards in life. Just a few days ago, I was still acting like a spoiled brat to my two children.
I felt so comfortable being comforted by them.”
Jing Jingmo said seriously: "No, I told you a long time ago that you are the only little princess in our family.
Of course, everyone will hold it in their hands.
When I'm not around you, just act like a spoiled brat in front of the two kids, as much as you can!"
