Hit his pain point.

His eyes were somewhat dim, and his voice was dim as well. "It was indeed my negligence in the past. I seldom asked you."

When this sentence was transmitted, the other side fell into dead silence.

He immediately changed the subject, "Since you live outside at night, don't hang out with your friends too late, and don't get into fights."

After a pause, he continued, "...Let's go back to the villa after school tomorrow night."

Originally, he wanted to talk to Tong Huaimu about tutoring. After all, Tong Huaimu had a conflict with Jian Yan because of tutoring, and he should mediate between them...

But he himself was in a very awkward situation at the moment, so instead of making things more awkward, he decided to wait until tomorrow to talk face to face.

long time.

Only then did I hear the boy reply, "Got it, hang up now."

Tong Ruixiao said "hmm" and hung up the phone. The question was still echoing in his mind, and he couldn't recover.

"Mr. Tong?"

"Mr. Tong?"

It wasn't until Jian Yan called him for the second time that he pulled himself out of his thoughts, "What's wrong?"

"I have a question, which may be a little presumptuous." She hesitated.

He put his phone aside and listened to her, "Just tell me, I'll answer everything I can."

Jian Yan didn't expect the other party to say this. If it was someone else, it might be a rejection, but when Tong Ruixiao said it, it must mean that he was taking it seriously.

"Mr. Tong comes from a family of scholars. How did he come up with the idea of ​​working in the e-commerce logistics industry? Was it his family's request?"

She checked his background and found that his family was middle class. Both his parents were still alive and lived in Jincheng. His mother was a famous university professor in Jincheng, and his father was a writer in the Writers Association.

Although she had never met his parents since she came here, judging from his upbringing, his parents were definitely of good quality.

I just can’t understand how a cultured family can produce a descendant of a wealthy businessman?

Tong Ruixiao shook his head gently, "Not really. The two elders actually hoped that I could achieve something in academics, but I didn't like it. By chance, I went into business with my uncle."

"It was very risky to go into the sea business at that time. It was not a stable career. I dropped out of school and went there, which was seriously against my parents' wishes. They were so angry that they almost broke my legs."

He couldn't help but smile when he said this.

She continued, "Were they hard on you?"

"Pretty harsh."

Tong Ruixiao recalled his childhood, "More than ten years have passed, and my impression of my childhood has become vague, but there are two things that I still remember vividly."

She was very interested and listened quietly while holding her hand warmer. His voice was suitable for telling stories and made people relax.

"One thing is to be beaten, and the other is to be scolded."

"I was beaten when I was eight or nine years old. I was naughty at that time. My mother asked me to practice calligraphy. If I didn't practice well, I wouldn't eat. My neighbor's classmates asked me to fly a kite, so I sneaked out, thinking I could sneak back through the dog hole, but my mother was waiting for me in front of the dog hole. When I got back, she beat me severely with a paperweight. After that, I learned my lesson and never went out before completing the task."

She thought for a moment, "It's really strict."

"My mother has always been strict, and her students and their parents are happy with it. Maybe it's because 'strict teachers produce excellent students'?"

He spoke in a light tone.

"What about being scolded?" Jian Yan asked with interest.

"I was scolded in my senior year of high school. I was tired of doing exercises all day long in high school, so I skipped homework at night and stayed up late to write code. But my father caught me during a surprise inspection. He was furious and scolded me for being rebellious, saying that I was a failure and a disgrace to the family. I seldom shed tears, but I cried my eyes out that night. I didn't understand what was the point of learning all that."

Tong Ruixiao felt it was a bit shameful to talk about these things in his childhood, so he just maintained his composure on the surface.

"I myself was pushed around by my family when I was little, with almost no breathing space, and I don't want my own children to have the same experience."

Jane Yan sighed:

"You lacked the space for self-growth in your childhood because of your parents' strict treatment, so you want to give Xiao Mu a relaxed environment so that he can live an easy life."

The man did not deny it. "I rarely ask about Xiao Mu's schoolwork. It is indeed because of those not-so-good memories from childhood."

She murmured in a low voice, "Experience determines choice, people are like this..."

Coming back to her senses, she looked at him seriously, "Even so, too much is as bad as too little."

He asked in return: "Is too much or too little?"

"Everything has two sides. Being too strict will lead to control, while being too lenient will make the child feel that you don't care about him at all."

"Only by grasping the principle of moderation can we create a suitable growth environment for children."

"specifically is?"

"Be strict when necessary and be lenient when necessary, combining firmness and flexibility."

She seemed to feel that what she said was a bit empty and mostly theoretical. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Although the theory is brief, the actual operation still depends on the situation. We need to analyze specific problems specifically."

"I don't think you look like a graduate student in chemical engineering at Yanda..."

This sudden sentence made her heart skip a beat.

What do you mean?

He looked at her puzzled expression with eyes wide open, and the corners of his eyes widened with laughter. "It seems more like philosophy."

She laughed along, but her heart felt like she was on a roller coaster, with ups and downs. She thought to herself that this person's punctuation was really annoying.

He used a joke to cover up his previous gaffe, "So Mr. Tong thinks my point of view is biased?"

"No," Tong Ruixiao said seriously, "I think what you said makes sense. I will reflect on and change some of my previous practices."

She smiled and said, "Mr. Tong must have been a student that the teacher liked very much when he was in school."

When she was still teaching painting in the studio before her death, she liked students who listened to her advice and corrected their mistakes in time. Even if the other person was not smart, they could feel that their attitude was correct.

It's comforting.

He thought about it carefully, and helplessly spread his hands, "I don't have any impression. Why do you say that?"

"Because I listened to your advice."

"It's okay to do poorly. Teachers are most afraid of students who stick to one path and refuse to listen to advice."

He was silent.

teacher?

Did she always put herself in the position of a teacher?

So he is... her student?

Not a husband, but a student?

He couldn't help laughing.

It was a bit absurd, but also a bit reasonable in its abstractness. Naive and bizarre ideas, I really don’t know what was in her head.

Jian Yan didn't know that the man who looked serious on the surface was secretly complaining in his heart.

If she could hear his inner voice, she would definitely sneer at him coldly. She was not naive.

Those who can define her based on just a few words from her are truly naive...

"Speaking of Xiao Mu's studies, I think tutoring is necessary," the woman said firmly, "He is unwilling to do worse than others in the exam, which means he cares about his grades. If he learns on his own, it will be very slow. It will be much better if someone helps with targeted tutoring."

Tong Ruixiao: "But didn't he just make you very angry? Do you still want to teach him?"
