Chapter 2956: Slight Ripples
In the top floor, everyone was packing their luggage. For Vincent and Amanda, who were often taken around, this was already a skill they were familiar with.
Zhang Yan had just started, and they had already packed their own suitcases.
And, as before, Vincent was holding a list and helping his sister check the carry-on luggage she had to bring. Compared with his sister who was a little careless, he was really very careful.
But it seemed that Amanda's carelessness was her cover. When Feng Yiping went in, he happened to see Vincent holding a document bag and asked her with some laughter, "Forgot again?"
"I forgot again," Amanda said nonchalantly.
The nanny on the side was also helpless. I had clearly put the bag you "forgot" in when I checked just now. How did it run under the bed? Did it grow legs?
Seeing Feng Yiping coming in, Amanda immediately jumped over, "Dad," she hugged Feng Yiping, "You're back!"
Feng Yiping glanced at his eldest son who was holding a bag of information, and gently rubbed his eldest daughter's head, "You all promised me that you must not neglect your homework."
The bag of things that his daughter didn't want to bring was her textbooks and the extracurricular books that the teacher told her to read.
It was okay when they were in kindergarten. Asking for leave at that time would not delay anything, but now they are all in elementary school. Although the pressure of American elementary school students is really not worth mentioning compared to that in China, it is not good to let them play carefree now.
For this reason, they not only brought that bag of books, but also a tutor with them.
Feng Yiping did not cultivate them to have multiple hobbies from an early age like many parents in China. What they are learning now is mainly language, in addition to English and Chinese, there are also Spanish and French.
But we know that the process of learning a language is not just about language, it also includes the understanding and learning of the corresponding culture and history, so the pressure on these two children is really no lighter than that of elementary school students in China.
It's just that the attitude and level of the teachers who tutor them are both top-notch.
In addition, the two children are not without hobbies. They probably received a lot of praise from Feng Yiping when they were young. Amanda still likes painting.
Although most of the time, she is more naughty than her brother, sometimes she can really calm down, sit in the room, and paint for hours.
Feng Yiping's appreciation level in this area is still average. He is not sure how much water there is in the "very good" evaluation of those teachers and experts, but he is very pleased that his daughter can do something so actively.
Vincent, who likes robots, often communicates with Rubin. Now he not only likes robots, but also has been writing some small programs with Rubin. In this regard, Feng Yiping believes that Rubin's evaluation is real, "very talented!"
But this should be more in the category of skills, so Feng Yiping believes that his son's hobby is playing the violin.
However, every time he sees his son playing the violin and thinks of him standing in the spotlight in a tuxedo in the future, he is really worried. How many girls will cry and shout for trouble?
Because the violin is too close to the entertainment industry, Feng Yiping is even more worried. If this guy, with such looks and such a family background, has some real skills, how many female stars and models will be waiting for him to get his hands on in the impetuous entertainment industry?
For this reason, Feng Yiping has discussed seriously with Ma Ling several times, thinking about whether he should be authoritarian and let him not like this hobby.
But the gap between the two different cultures came out. Ma Ling, who usually has strict requirements for Vincent, is very permissive in this regard. She firmly stated that Vincent's wishes should be fully respected in this regard and must not be interfered.
As for what Feng Yiping is worried about, she thinks it is a bit funny and thinks that it is not a big deal at all. It is consensual. What's the big deal?
As long as his son has a sense of "safety", it's fine.
Feng Yiping really envies American children because he has received some education like "don't look at what is indecent" since he was a child, and the concept that "dating without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism" is also subtly influenced.
So he plans to marry the mothers of several children one by one - you can't be a hooligan, right?
He has always been a good and obedient child.
At this time, Amanda, who was indirectly criticized by him, laughed twice, "No, I studied very hard. Do you want to see the emails sent to me by the teacher? They all said that my homework was done very well."
"Your homework is nothing," Feng Yiping said, "Do you remember the homework of those classmates in the school you went to?"
The two guys were immediately afraid.
It was not the first time for both of them to go to the children's school under Jiasheng. When they knew that children of the same age had to concentrate for at least an hour every night after returning home to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and the amount of homework would increase accordingly with the increase of age, they were a little bit unbelievable.
It seems that American high school students are more relaxed than domestic primary school students.
It should be mainly for the purpose of keeping themselves away from such fear. For the first time, they protested against their father's behavior, believing that it was wrong for students in all Jiasheng schools to have such a heavy academic burden.
Feng Yiping was also helpless about this.
Although there are some calls to reduce the burden on children in China, most parents still feel that teachers are irresponsible if they do not assign homework to their children, or if they do not assign enough homework to their children.
More importantly, the current education system is like this. If the schools under Jiasheng do not take exam-oriented education seriously, they do not take the future of those children seriously, so they have no choice but to follow the trend.
What Feng Yiping can do is to prevent teachers from forcibly assigning their own work to parents.
Vincent stuffed his sister's study materials into her suitcase and ran over to hug his father, "Dad, will mom come?"
Feng Yiping saw that his daughter glanced at her son, and the meaning in that look was very complicated.
This seemingly carefree daughter is more understanding than her brother on some things.
Feng Yiping was very relieved to have a woman like this.
This girl is such a devil, why do we need to worry about her suffering when she grows up?
He also rubbed his son's head and said, "Mom is very busy at work in the United States and will not be specifically responsible for such things now."
Amanda held her brother's hand and said, "This is in China, so Chinese companies should also be responsible for these things,"
Feng Yiping immediately felt that his daughter was very considerate, "Yes,"
In fact, after he and Zhang Yan got married, when he was in the country, the United States would definitely not come over. This was their respect for Zhang Yan.
"Now that you have cleaned up, how about you go take care of your brothers? Aunt Zhang is still cleaning up," - of course he would not force the children to call the mothers of other siblings mom.
Vincent happily agreed, "Okay,"
Amanda muttered, "There aren't that many nannies..."
"I heard it," Feng Yiping said.
She immediately said, "Hehe, you're kidding, Dad,"
…………
In the bedroom, there are still a lot of clothes on the bed, mainly Zhang Yan's. The children's clothes should be left to the nanny to pack.
"You want to take away so much?" Feng Yiping asked.
"Take them all away," Zhang Yan said, "I am very conscious, lest you bring others back and there will be no room."
Feng Yiping:......
Can I say that there are enough rooms here that you don’t have to worry about this problem at all?
There are really enough rooms here.
For example, their current bedroom is actually not the original master bedroom, but a guest bedroom that has never been used.
Feng Yiping understood the reason for Zhang Yan's insistence. The first person to move into the original master bedroom was Huang Jingping.
"do you need my help?"
"No need," Zhang Yan slowly packed sets of clothes while humming a tune, "It's also a kind of joy to pack clothes one by one like this."
Feng Yiping really felt that he and they were indeed creatures of two planets. Not only buying clothes, but packing clothes was also a kind of happiness?
Looking at those clothes, do you still feel a sense of accomplishment?
"Then I'll go see the children,"
"Well, go ahead...wait a minute," she stopped Feng Yiping, "When are you going to divorce me? Who will marry you next? Isn't it Jingping?"
"Did she say she would be the last to marry you?"
"I suddenly feel that something is wrong. They insist that I be the first to marry you. It seems to be a sign of respect and recognition for me. But why do I feel that the last person to marry you is the best?"
"Because she doesn't have the pressure to divorce you... Hey, where is the person?"
Is there anyone else in the bedroom? Feng Yiping had already rubbed oil on his soles and slipped away...
