After dinner, Song Yu and Su He looked at each other and said, "Nianqing, there's something Mom and Dad want to discuss with you and ask for your opinion."

"What?" Song Nianqing asked.

There is no rule in their family that one cannot talk while eating. They just talk about trivial matters casually during the meal.

Like this, talking about it after eating is to avoid affecting appetite by talking about it.

That also shows that this is not a trivial matter.

Song Yu said: "Your academic performance is relatively low, but you have many specialties and your abilities are quite good. You will soon be entering high school, and after the college entrance examination, you will go to university.

If you want to go to a prestigious school, you'll probably have to go through special recruitment. Your father and I have discussed that you can go through the special recruitment channel, and then you'll have to identify a specialty to prepare for the exam.

Another option is to study abroad directly. The requirements in this regard are relatively low abroad, and you will not be under as much pressure.

This is our idea, and we would like to ask for your opinion.”

Song Nianqing listened to Song Yu's words quietly throughout the whole process. Although he frowned slightly, he did not interrupt Song Yu.

Song Yu was waiting for her answer. Song Nianqing thought for a long time and asked instead, "Mom, do I have to go to a prestigious school? What if I don't excel in academics and don't have any special talents?"

You, you will be disappointed in me?" Song Nianqing hesitated for a long time and finally asked the question, expressing the worry that had been pent up in her heart for a long time.

But when Song Yu heard her words, he was shocked. He and Su He looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Song Yu exclaimed: "Baby, why do you think so?"

Song Nianqing took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked directly into Song Yu's eyes and said, "Isn't it? From childhood to adulthood, you have been particularly concerned about my grades and hired so many teachers for me? But I just can't learn.

You asked me to learn a special skill, and when I won a prize, you smiled with joy. If I didn't even have a special skill, wouldn't you be very disappointed?

You and dad are both so amazing, but I didn’t inherit any of your talents.”

As she spoke, the grievance in her heart finally came up.

Over the years, her parents never showed disappointment in front of her.

But she couldn't help thinking that she was so mediocre. Although her parents didn't say it in front of her, they might be thinking about it in their hearts.

After hearing what the child said, Song Yu immediately denied it loudly and firmly: "Of course not, no matter whether you win the award or not, no matter whether you are a genius or not.

Your father and I don’t necessarily want you to go to a prestigious school. We just want you to stand higher while we can still help you.

As for hiring a tutor for you, it is just because we hope that you can do your best and leave fewer regrets, rather than doing nothing and then complaining in the future that you should have tried more.

Divide life into stages, and each stage has things that should be done.

Just like building a house, only by taking solid steps one can build a solid house.

You have worked hard at every stage and have become who you are today.

We just don’t want you to regret it later.”

Song Nianqing was touched, but she still hesitated: "But my grades..."

"It doesn't matter. Our decision is not to force you to choose one of them. We just give you the choice. The final decision is in your hands." Song Yu said.

"Then, what if in the future, the choice I make is not what you are satisfied with..." Song Nianqing was interrupted by Song Yu before he could finish his words.

"It's your own choice, why do you need us to be satisfied? We are just your parents. You are neither a puppet nor a program. You don't need to live completely according to our ideas." Song Yu said.

"It doesn't matter if I don't inherit your business?" Song Nianqing asked.

Song Yu laughed dumbly when he heard this: "Why do you have to inherit our business? I chose to study medicine just because I like it. As for your father, when he retires, the company can be handed over to professional managers.

All you have to do is do what you want to do.

Your father and I only ask for your happiness, health, and safety." He paused and added, "And don't do anything illegal."

Song Nianqing looked at Song Yu and then at Su He.

Su He immediately expressed his opinion: "I think the same as your mother."

At this moment, Song Nianqing felt relieved and enlightened.

"Mom and Dad, thank you, I love you so much!" Song Nianqing hugged Song Yu.

Song Yu's eyes were full of love. This was the child she had carried for ten months.

She watched her grow up little by little, pouring all her love into her, how could she not wish her the best.

However, it was not until he went to bed at night that Song Yu realized what was going on. He looked confused and puzzled.

Su He came in after finishing his business. Seeing Song Yu's expression, he walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Yu raised his head, looked at Su He, and said, "Where did our educational direction go astray?"

"Hmm?" Su He asked.

Song Yu said, "Why else would Nian Qing think that?"

She reflected deeply and realized that she had always considered herself to be an open-minded and qualified parent.

I never restrict my child's development and I never act arbitrarily. How could Nian Qing think that I just want her to have good grades?

Every time Nianqing took an exam, even though the teacher told her to focus on academic subjects, she never said it in front of her daughter.

Because she really feels that grades are nothing compared to her daughter.

She has already found a famous teacher to tutor her child and confirmed that her child does not have any talent in this area, so she is not worried about it.

She is no longer worried, but the child is worried instead.

Su He understood Song Yu's thoughts and said, "This may be the complexity of human nature."

"Why is human nature involved again?" Song Yu asked.

Su He said: “Even if two people go through the same thing, from the beginning to the end, their final experience will be different.

It’s like training a killer, it also goes through the process of hundreds of people fighting, and it also perseveres to the end.

But some people emerge stronger, while others wither and never get back on their feet.”

Song Yu murmured Su He's words in his heart, thought for a moment, and nodded, "As expected, practice is the only way to test the truth. No matter how many parenting encyclopedias and child psychology books you read, you can't predict human nature."

Su He smiled and said, "But fortunately, our daughter hasn't deviated too much."

Song Yu was shocked and said, "Fortunately, she said it directly, otherwise we would not know what she was thinking. If it had not been channeled, it would probably have become a shadow."

"No." Su He said.

"Why are you so sure?" Song Yu asked, having just been talking about the fickleness of human nature.

Su He said, "Because she knows that we who love her will definitely get out of this difficult situation even if we are in trouble for a while."
