Chapter 203 My Dad Isn’t Great
The food was fragrant and hot. Wang Peihua took a basin of boiled fish and carefully placed it on the dining table. The aroma of garlic from the hot oil just poured out was very prominent. .
The appearance and smell of these dishes clearly show that the Secretary for Education has extraordinary cooking skills.
Combined with what Wang Hang’s mother said, he had not cooked for many years, and suddenly he was able to make these big dishes...
"Uncle Wang is a great cook and has a deep foundation." Li Yan admired it sincerely.
It's not a matter of worldliness. I was kind enough to invite you to dinner, and I cooked the food myself for the first time in a long time. The food was colorful and tasty, so I should give you a few compliments.
"Don't praise me. It takes my dad half a day to cook. He came back from get off work early today." Wang Hang dismissed it. "My mom can cook alone. Look, he can still cook." You have to bring an assistant."
Wang Peihua, who had just taken off his apron, just smiled and said, "Look at Li Yanduo, you know how to make trouble every day."
How come you guys. Do both husband and wife adopt a "look at others" approach to education? New Taipei Education Pill!
But it seemed that Wang Hang was used to this kind of suppression. He went to the table shaking his head, looking like he didn't care much.
Li Yan rarely eats at other people's homes, mainly because his family was very strict when he was a child, and another reason is related to the little fat man's family.
When he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, he went to Lin Zhiyuan's house to play. Li Chun and Chen Fengling came over at noon and they were busy with business, so he naturally stayed for dinner.
Because he was number one in the fourth grade, Lin Zhiyuan’s parents also took great care of their son’s outstanding classmates.
Just like a mushroom that Dad Lin enthusiastically picked up.
Li Yan is quite picky about her diet. She is not picky about only eating what she likes, but she will vomit after eating what she doesn’t like.
If you don't like this, there are all kinds of strange things, such as cabbage gangzi, large shiitake mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, large white radish, fried and softened garlic...
So at that moment he was very broken, such a delicious pot Braised Chicken with Mushrooms, why did you only put one mushroom in it?
Where is my chicken?
But as the saying goes, it’s hard to refuse kindness. As a child, Li Yan didn’t know how to refuse at all. She could only hold her breath and swallow the mushrooms with rice. As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
He chewed it a few times with his eyes closed and swallowed it into his stomach.
Then Father Lin was a little surprised when he saw Li Yan eating so quickly, and enthusiastically placed a larger mushroom on Li Yan's rice:
"It's rare that you like to eat mushrooms, eat more. ”
Since then, Li Yan herself has been very resistant to going to other people’s homes.
Actually, today’s Wang family dinner is the same. The table is all red, and there are three dishes without chili: one is braised cabbage, the other is tea tree mushroom soup, and the cold sweet and sour white radish. .
If Li Yan can't eat spicy food, he can only eat white rice today.
"Welcome Li Yan to be our guest," Wang Peihua smiled as soon as he sat down, "We are really lucky to have a student like you in New Taipei..."
"Old Wang, please stop being official," Yin Dan - Wang Hang's mother rolled her eyes, "We haven't eaten yet, please let the children relax."
"Okay, okay, okay," Wang Peihua picked up the chopsticks, "move your chopsticks... "
Before he finished speaking, Wang Hang stood up and stretched out his hand to pinch two pieces of beef in the distance.
Wang Peihua frowned imperceptibly, and immediately said in a brisk tone, "Li Yan, you are from Lincheng, right? Have you grown up in the city since you were a child?"
"Yes, my parents are the only ones in their family who came from the countryside to the city." Li Yan nodded, took a look at the food, and asked, "Isn't Uncle Wang a native of New Taipei?"
"No, I'm from Bazhou, an inland area." He finally reacted after saying this, "Hey, I neglected it, you can't eat spicy food, can you? Come on, come on, here are some that are not spicy..."
Wang Peihua picked up a bunch of cabbage with chopsticks.
“You can eat it, you can eat it, but I don’t eat cabbage.” Li Yan decisively declined.
“It sounds like your parents are quite ambitious.” Wang Peihua picked up the previous topic.
Is it really still an interview dinner? Li Yan glanced at Li Zhuowei next door. His attention was not on the meal at all. He was just like a student attending a lecture. He just took out a notebook to record.
“My parents are hard-working and willing to struggle.” Li Yan did not agree too much. "What do they do?"
You didn't know there were ghosts.
I didn’t expect that the first person to ask nonsense questions was Director Wang himself.
"They do business in the fruit and vegetable wholesale market."
"Are you usually busy?"
"Very busy."
"Then you were often at home alone when you were a child?" ”
“Yes.”
Li Yan glanced at Wang Peihua. He was obviously the person who led the questioning, but he kept picking up the food in his hands, acting like a normal person.
Is this probably also a required course for leaders within the system?
The dinner party is a place where many things are discussed. Now that things have been put on the dinner table, we cannot deal with them the same way as in the workplace or even in the conference room.
"I am very interested in one thing. You have been alone at home and your parents have no time to teach you. How did you learn like you are today?" Wang Peihua finally stopped using his chopsticks and asked what he wanted to know most. core issue.
Both Yin Dan and Li Zhuowei stopped using their chopsticks, but Wang Hang was still eating it in his mouth.
You can’t say it’s a reboot of the system, right?
Li Yan originally wanted to fool him into thinking that he was restricted from watching TV and going out to play freely, so he could only read books as an excuse. However, considering Wang Hang's future happy life, he still chose something more realistic. answer.
“I’m enlightened.”
Wang Peihua and his wife both glanced at their son who kept picking up the stir-fried beef.
"Enlightenment... This statement is quite mysterious." Wang Peihua smiled, and then suddenly sighed, "It seems that talent is indeed something destined, and even enlightenment comes sooner or later."
< br>
This sentence indeed sounds very much like a father who wants to learn parenting skills. Li Yan is a little confused about the meaning of Wang Peihua's meal.
"Actually, it's all about the desire to win." Li Yanduo said a few words, "The conditions you provide Wang Hang are definitely better than what my family gave me, so 'study hard. There will be a lot of good stimulation in the future, but it is actually not enough. In other words, relying only on external stimulation, whether it is positive or negative, will always make you tired."
Wang Peihua stopped completely. Chopsticks nodded, "Winning desire, Wang Hang, did you hear that?"
"You are also engaging in external reverse stimulation, which is the suppressive education of 'look at others'." Li Yan said bluntly, "It's not that it's not good. It's very effective for some people with passive personalities. You must know Wang Hang better than me, so I don't comment on this approach."
Put on the armor first, he doesn’t want to make a fuss.
"What do you mean," Wang Peihua pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, "do I need some endogenous motivation?"
"I think so, even if I want to get good grades in the exam to show off, or I am worried about regressing. It’s okay to be laughed at. Maybe it will be more effective than others telling you that if you study well, you will be laughed at, etc.”
“Ah Wei, record it”
< br>Li Zhuowei took out a notebook from nowhere and started writing.
"Oh dad!" Wang Hang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly put down the bowl, "Why can't you eat well? You have to preach and preach every day when you eat. It's rare that Li Yan came today and he ate half of the meal. Just ask, now you want someone to work overtime to help you cook and record for you... Wei Ge, Li Yan, let’s ignore him.”
Seeing that the director was angry, Li Zhuowei immediately smiled and waved his hand, "Oh, Xiaohang, what you are saying is that your father is the director of education and is always concerned about education in New Taipei..."
"Why is the director of education not the director? Yes, how big is the official?" Wang Hang was very impatient.
Wang Peihua’s expression at this moment is so complicated that it’s hard to describe, and if it’s photographed, it’s a classic textbook on psychology.
