Chapter 17 I Don't Like Backdoors

"You hold the pen incorrectly, like you're holding a knife. If someone knows you're writing, they'd think you're going to stab someone."

"Be gentle, you're using the pen like a knife. You've scratched the table."

"Wrong, wrong, the character kang has water underneath it, not xiao."

"Dot, dot, this is a dot, not a horizontal line."

"You'll be in first grade when school starts, and you can't even write your dad's name properly."

"You are not only an ugly girl, but also a stupid girl."

……

Time flies, and it is 1993, when Liu Jing is tutoring Xixi.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Grandpa went out for a walk while grandma, sister Li and aunt were making rice dumplings.

As for Teacher An, he remained unmoved and sat on the sofa holding a newspaper.

Liu Jing practiced martial arts in Yandu for a year. When he paid tuition for the second year, the training class stopped accepting him.

In a euphemistic way, they say there is nothing left to teach.

The truth is, Liu Jing beat up the students in the training class several times in the name of sparring. Some apprentices couldn't stand the repeated sparring and simply dropped out of the class.

The training class was afraid that if it continued, it would lack students, so they let him graduate early.

In the past year or so, besides practicing martial arts, he also had other things to do.

I go to the set of "Three Kingdoms" once a month, and occasionally follow my aunt or sister Li to visit Zhang Min on the set. All of this is to reduce my bubbles.

Now the entertainment energy has exceeded 19718 points again, a total of points. If it weren't for the daily consumption, it would have exceeded points long ago.

The box office of "Once Upon a Time in China" was 3800 million Hong Kong dollars, and it also brought Liu Jing more than a thousand points of entertainment.

Aunt Liu has more things to do. She has training for the "Three Kingdoms" crew, rehearsals for "Chu Yun" at the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater, and she also has to perform in various places frequently.

My aunt is even busier. Her business in the United States is taking off, and she has had less time to return home in the past year.

The day before yesterday, the filming of the childhood Liu Chan scenes was completed, and there were not many scenes left for Sun Shangxiang.

If he wants to hang out with the Three Kingdoms crew often in the future, Aunt Liu may not take him with her.

Several parents agreed that children cannot stay on the crew for a long time, as it is not good for their growth.

He dropped out of the training class, and Xixi successfully graduated from kindergarten.

The little girl was greatly inspired by Liu Jing. She did not clamor to play during the summer vacation, but quietly previewed the first grade primary school courses at home.

In the past year, Liu Jing has completed self-study of primary school courses and has also learned a lot of junior high school courses.

Unfortunately, his photographic memory can help him memorize things, but it can't help him understand theorems, axioms, word problems and various formulas.

Liu Jing has a serious imbalance in his academic performance in junior high school.

He didn't understand why the pool was draining and filling up at the same time. Who would be so idle as to do such a thing?

He also didn't understand, one was this speed, the other was that speed, when would they meet, when would they overtake each other. What's the point of calculating it? You can still make a bicycle.

What he didn't understand even more was that when calculating the area of the shaded parts of various figures, who could calculate the area of his shadow?

Wow…

He was complaining about the current education system and the little girl couldn't stand it anymore.

Xixi threw the pen on the ground and shouted angrily, "Dad, I don't want wood to teach me, I want you to teach me."

Teacher An has always been strict in educating his children, and Xixi is quite afraid of her father.

But compared to fear, a sharp tongue is more frustrating.

You can't win after fighting, and you can't win after arguing.

Xixi wanted to slap herself twice. She was free before and was looking forward to this guy coming back soon.

After waiting for so long, this guy really came back. "What's wrong?" Teacher An said in a gentle voice, as if he didn't hear Liu Jing's sharp tongue just now.

"He...he always slanders me, and you guys don't do anything about him." Xixi stomped her feet and suddenly realized that her brother had returned home. Her good days seemed to be over.

"Liu Jing, your sister is not as smart as you and is a bit dumb. You should be more considerate of her and be more patient with her." Teacher An is very patient.

Xixi's face turned black. Her father's tongue was not poisonous, but it was more hurtful than that of a poisonous tongue.

"I don't want to read it anymore." Xixi's face darkened and she threw down the book. "Mom, I want to make zongzi too."

Teacher An looked confused and asked Liu Jing, "What happened to her? You two are teaching and learning at the same time, aren't you all fine?"

"Women, no matter how old they are, are always so unreasonable." Liu Jing picked up the pen on the ground. He was so sloppy at such a young age. He learned it from his aunt.

"Oh!" Teacher An shook the newspaper, sighed, and agreed deeply.

A family of six, half male and half female.

The old man is aloof from the world, the little devil can't attract firepower, and it's difficult for Teacher An.

He was even wondering at this time, would it be more difficult when the girl grew up?
He glanced at the three adults and one child who were wrapping rice dumplings. It was a rare moment of harmony for them.

"My condolences." Liu Jing also sighed.

Teacher An's nose was crooked and his glasses almost fell off. No wonder the sister-in-law made suggestions and often wanted to jump into the river because of Liu Jing's anger.

What's even more distressing is that this child is polite, hardworking, and not mischievous, so you can't find any reason to teach him a lesson.

"Liu Jing, you are one year younger than Xixi. She will go to elementary school after the summer vacation. Do you want me to use my connections so you can go to the first grade with her?" Teacher An asked.

"No need, I don't like taking the back door." Liu Jing refused directly.

Primary school students are not much more mature than kindergarten children. If he has the time, he might as well study at home and have some freedom.

"Next year, next year is fine." Teacher An didn't mind. He was relieved when the child was at home alone. On the contrary, he was worried when the child was outside.

"We have to abide by national regulations," Liu Jing added.

Teacher An was too lazy to argue and warned, "Liu Jing, elementary school is not like kindergarten or training classes. You should behave yourself in school and don't let the school persuade you to drop out again."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Liu Jing was very confident.

"Hehe..." Teacher An smiled with a forced smile.

Liu Jing was very proud, "This time in the martial arts class, I followed the rules. I was not asked to drop out, I graduated early."

"Yeah! You are so right." Teacher An wanted to roll his eyes. How could he have the nerve to say that.

"Uncle An, I heard a while ago that the old man wanted you to switch to diplomatic work. Why did you refuse?" Liu Jing asked when he saw that the time was almost right.

"I don't like taking backdoors." Teacher An responded.

"Don't use your connections, they will expire. The old man can still make some use of his remaining energy, but in a few years, when his old comrades-in-arms pass away, it will not be as easy as it is now if you want to get in there. You are still young, less than 40 years old, which is the prime of your life. Lying down and living a retired life is really a loss. A man with power is more attractive than a man with money, and more confident than a man with talent." Liu Jing rambled on and on.

Teacher An frowned when he heard this, "Who told you these words?"

No matter how gentle Teacher An was, he couldn't help but feel angry.

What does "salted fish" mean? What does "retirement" mean? He is a French professor and is usually very busy with work, and it is all serious work.

He seriously suspected that these words were said by that somewhat eccentric sister-in-law.

"Do I need someone to tell me these things? It's common sense, isn't it? Sister Li's career will become more and more brilliant. She is inherently strong-willed. When she becomes more capable than you, you will suffer even more and you will not suffer enough humiliation. If a family wants harmony, you must be stronger than her, otherwise she will fly away." Liu Jing advised earnestly, if you don't become a high-ranking official, how can I realize my dream of becoming a second-generation rich?

Looking at this whole family, you are the one with the most hope.

Sister Li is not cut out for this job, and my aunt is even less so.

"You're still so young, you should just worry about yourself." Teacher An looked at him as if he were an alien. This child was truly a monster, and his sister-in-law could not have imagined that he was so evil.

"Alas! This family has to break up without me. I'm doing this for our family. I don't want to be homeless again..." Liu Jing had a sad face, which was partly acting and partly real.

Teacher An was shocked, and then his heart was moved. While he was thinking, someone knocked on the door, "Wenqiong, kid, are you home? I'm Wang Jing. Happy Dragon Boat Festival. Zhang Min and I are here to see you."
