Chapter 19: Kids, you don't have to be so so obedient.
Lin Jian's new school is a public priority.
Having learned from the previous experience, this time Shen Ke before deciding on a school, deliberately formally consulting him once, Lin Jian seriously listened to him analyze the differences between different schools in the way of school and training focus, and finally said decisively: "I want to go to a school where all students are studying well."
Shen Ke couldn't help but smile.
This kid looks peaceful and quiet on the surface, but in reality, all that unyielding stubbornness is hidden in his sinews.
So finally selected the city's only provincial key elementary school, the school history of 100 years of magnificent, teaching heritage is deep and excellent.
After all, it is a famous school in the public general education system, in order to smooth the transfer, Shen Ke also specially for the small Lin Jian large sums of money ...... to buy a school district house.
There's no way that the ability to pay money is worthless in the face of absolute principles.
Shen Ke thought that Lin Jian would have to go through a period of adjustment when he entered such a top school, but it was not until Lin Jian brought him the report card of his first monthly examination for his signature shortly after the transfer that he realized that the boy was really a natural talent.
Although the elementary school exam scored full marks is not new, but for a transfer less than half a month, before the foundation is not dominant, and surrounded by top students around the child, can test not only the main subjects all full marks, even the secondary subjects are all A +, the age of the ranking of the first grade, it is a little bit unbelievable.
Shen Ke pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought that children from ordinary families are usually rewarded when they get first place in the exams, aren't they?
So he asked Lin Jian, "What do you want?"
Lin Jian didn't seem to understand, froze for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What wants what?"
After all, he had never had the opportunity to enjoy such benefits before.
Shen Ke smiled and pointed to his report card, "Having done so well in the exams, one is capitalized to make demands."
Lin Jian quietly looked at him for a moment, and suddenly shook his head, his tone too calm to be that of an eight year old: "Didn't you teach me that whether I study well or badly is my own business, and I only need to be responsible for myself."
Shen Ke lost his smile, "That's true, but--"
Lin Jian's expression remained unchanged: "Isn't going to school all about studying? Doing well on the exams is what you should do, so why should you be rewarded for just doing what you should do?"
Shen Ke immediately choked, thinking that you don't need to demand so much from yourself.
A long time, Shen Ke shook his head, voice with a laugh: "children, you do not have to be so obedient, your age ...... is not supposed to be tricky skin and bone tricky trouble time?" Afterwards and looked up and down a bit in front of this snow doll, can't help but begin to worry, "you have to be crazy the Tao tao, don't just focus on learning it, tsk, this in case later if become a little nerd ......"
Little Lin Jian's eyes were calm, just pointing with her finger at the side grades that got A+, and coldly shot back, "No, I'm well-rounded."
Shen Ke: "......"
Okay, you've got a high score, you're right.
Although Lin Jian said he didn't want anything, at the end of the semester, he received a gift from Shen Ke when he brought back his report card for being the first in his age group, the Star of Intelligence, the Star of Transcendence, and even a certificate of Excellence in Innovation. "At the end of the semester, he received a gift from Shen Ke.
A pedigreed Welsh pony miniature horse with a snow white body, gray tinted mane, and a gentle and intelligent disposition.
Upon meeting this new friend at the stables, Lin Jian stared incredulously in disbelief and froze for a long time before asking, "Is this ...... for me?"
"Yes, for you." Shen Ke laughed, "Now you can give it a name."
The corners of Lin Jian's mouth pursed lightly, and although he was already doing his best to control his expression, he was still betrayed a surprise by his bright eyes, and, not knowing what came to mind, asked, "How old is it?"
"Five years old, young stallion." Shen Ke said.
"Oh ......" Lin Jian murmured thoughtfully, "That's the younger brother ......"
Shen Ke: "......"
"Then call ...... just Lin Xiaobai!" Lin Jian tilted his head, exhaled a large cloud of white mist as he spoke, and flashed a pair of big black grape-like eyes as he asked, "Is it okay?"
"......" Shen Ke choked out a low chuckle, "It's really the same last name as yours ......"
White ...... What kind of simplified naming is this?
But ultimately still be naive and innocent defeat, horse farm staff to bring the lease contract, Shen Ke first signed a single, and in the horse nickname column stopped the pen, said Lin Jian: "your horse, you name, this you to fill in."
Lin Jian took the pen and neatly filled in the three words "Lin Xiaobai" in the project field.
Shen Ke's free time is really limited, so that day only let the coach of the stables holding "small white" slipped two laps, after dismounting Lin Jian is not yet finished, often review, Shen Ke can only promise him, winter vacation if there is time to bring him again.
At the end of the year, when all the money comes back and projects are wrapped up, Shen Ke starts to work at a pace that makes it difficult for him to come home once in a while.
The winter in the north is mostly cold and cloudy, and Lin Jian has been reading and practicing calligraphy in Shen Ke's study every day since the winter vacation. When he first saw Shen Ke's handwriting, he said he wanted to learn how to write with a brush.
Shen Ke started practicing calligraphy at the age of four, because as they say, "You can tell the age of a child by the age of three, and the age of seven by the age of seven", and his grandfather felt that he was too coarse and cold during his early years, so he wanted to immerse him in ink and brush. If we say that Shen Ke's character has become more calm and peaceful, we have to be grateful for all these years of being influenced by the fragrance of ink.
Lin Jian said he wanted to learn calligraphy, Shen Ke at first did not put in mind, after all, the practice of this matter is by no means overnight, ink behind the square inch to put much hard work, only they know, so only Song Zhi sent to the beginning of the penmanship posters, and did not worry much about their own.
Until a few days before New Year's Eve, when Shen Ke came home late at night, Lin Jian and Pei had already gone to bed.
Today he took the board of directors to review a year of financial statements, at the moment under the extreme fatigue but half sleepy and no, after a bath this want to study to look at the book brewing sleep, did not expect to be the long case on the thick stack of cooked Xuan shocked the eyes.
After casually flipping through the pages, Shen Ke couldn't help but smile at the bottom of his eyes. It is obvious that at the beginning Lin Jian even had difficulty in controlling the brush, and whatever he drew on the paper, whether it was a "date palm" or an "inverted 8", was all twisted and out of shape, but the further he turned it over, the more stable the brush became, and between the strokes of the brush and the staccato strokes of the brush, he already had the beginning of an upward trend.
Shen Ke Standing in the ink-scented study, I can't help but sigh in admiration. There is no teacher, no guidance, no matter whether it is learning to practice calligraphy or doing other things--
This kid, too, is too much of a relief.
