Chapter 43 What do you want to be when you grow up?
There were only a few teachers in the whole school, and they taught everything.
The math teacher teaches physical education, and the language arts teacher teaches music.
The lessons were taught in dialects with heavy accents.
The teachers were very strict; if someone misbehaved, beatings and scoldings were commonplace.
If someone makes a mistake, they are called to the office, given a lecture, and then confronted with books or folders.
When you get home and tell your parents, they'll grab your ear and yell at you along with the teacher, and might even beat you up again.
As for amusement park rides, don't even think about it.
The playground was just a muddy field, and it became full of potholes whenever it rained.
Even having two peeling cement pool tables is considered a valuable asset of the school.
More often than not, it was just a bunch of kids running around wildly, playing cops and robbers in the mud.
And the school they are about to attend is Poyang Street Primary School.
Compared to those, this is simply heaven.
Those who can get in are no longer ordinary members of the wealthy class.
Rather, they are the true privileged class.
That place, in a sense, has already transcended the scope of ordinary education.
That's a place where you cultivate connections and solidify your network from a young age.
From elementary school, to middle school, to high school, and even university.
Many of them are classmates along the same path.
That's what true childhood sweethearts are like, a perfect match.
Chen Lang couldn't help but think to himself.
If Liu Xiaoli had not divorced An Shaokang.
Liu Yifei's life path will likely be quite different.
With her grandparents' connections in the medical field, her father An Shaokang being a professor at Wuhan University, and the background of the Liu family.
Her future path will definitely be very different.
However, if that were the case, there might not have been that fairy-like sister later on.
She might marry into a wealthy family early on, or become the wife of a high-ranking official.
She devoted herself to her husband and children, leading a different kind of stable and comfortable life.
Every drink and every bite is preordained.
Who can say for sure which kind of life is a better life?
Of course, he couldn't say these things to Liu Qianqian.
She wouldn't understand even if I explained it to her.
He pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at the little girl in front of him who knew nothing about the future.
He could understand the resistance in her eyes.
They're both the same; they're naturally averse to crowds.
They have an almost obsessive dependence on familiar environments and rhythms of life.
Any sudden change requires a long adjustment period for her.
Simply reasoning with people won't work.
We must let her find the motivation to adapt to the new environment on her own.
Chen Lang changed the subject.
"daughter in law."
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Liu Qianqian was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect Chen Lang to ask this question suddenly.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"I want to dance on stage like my mom."
"I still want to play the violin."
Singing... is fine too.
Chen Lang thought to himself, "Whoa!"
It seems that her interests and hobbies have changed somewhat under my influence.
At least singing and violin were ranked very high in her list.
"Can I only choose one?"
Chen Lang pressed for an answer.
"Choose one, the one you most want to do."
Liu Qianqian lowered her head and twirled her two index fingers together.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Chen Lang with bright eyes.
"I like... playing house."
"I am your aunt, and you are Guo'er... you are Lang'er."
Chen Lang's mind was instantly filled with a flock of crows.
What the hell is Lang'er?
Also, the Yang Guo I know is the domineering CEO with disheveled hair and a wicked smile.
But... he can forget about it in this lifetime.
It seems that what she loves most deep down is acting, which makes things easier.
"That means becoming an actor."
Chen Lang explained to her with a confident tone.
"Dancing, singing, and playing the violin on stage—these are all forms of performance."
"Film these performances and put them on TV so that many, many people can see them."
"People who do this are called actors."
Liu Qianqian nodded.
"Yes, that's it."
Chen Lang continued to patiently guide him.
"Do you want to be a really, really great actor?"
"think."
She answered very decisively.
"It's not enough for us to learn at home on our own."
Chen Lang began to make empty promises to her.
"You must go to a professional school to study."
"I want to make lots and lots of new friends, learn with them, and grow together."
"That way you can learn more and become more capable."
"To go to a professional school, you have to go up step by step from elementary school, junior high school, and high school."
"Only by mastering these fundamentals can one get into the best university that teaches people how to be actors."
"By then, you can play any role you want."
"If you want to play the aunt, then play the aunt."
"If you want to play Qian'er, then play Qian'er."
"If you want to play the White Snake, then we'll lock Fahai up in Leifeng Pagoda."
Liu Qianqian was stunned.
She was clearly intimidated by Chen Lang's grand promise and was a little confused.
"This is so troublesome."
Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at Chen Lang warily.
"Then you have to stay with me forever."
"From elementary school to junior high school to high school to university, you'll be there for me."
"Don't leave me alone."
Chen Lang really wanted to say no.
He was even thinking that once he started elementary school, he would find an opportunity to skip directly to junior high or high school.
We're always so inseparable, holding hands feels like touching my own left hand with my right. I won't feel anything when we kiss anymore.
Besides, elementary school is full of little kids who can't even speak properly, what's the point?
Junior high and high school are different.
Girls in this age group are starting to develop.
Each one of them was youthful, energetic, and full of vitality.
He'll be a handsome young boy, mingling among a group of young ladies.
There's an older sister on the left and an older sister on the right.
How beautiful that scene would be!
Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Liu Qianqian's little face hardened.
She reached out and slapped his arm hard.
"Lang Ya Zi!"
This shout was clearly filled with anger.
Chen Lang shuddered, looking at Liu Qianqian's puffed-up face, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
He immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"I'll stay with you, I'll stay with you."
"You're my wife, of course I'll be there for you."
"From elementary school to university, and even when we're old, I'll be with you."
Liu Qianqian's expression finally brightened.
She snorted and turned her head to the side, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"That's more like it."
The little girl's mood was like the summer weather, changing in an instant.
One second the sky was overcast, the next it was clear and sunny.
She scrambled to her feet and patted her bottom.
"Then play with me now."
"What game are you going to play? Keep fighting, play the violin, or dance?"
Let's dance.
"Health exercises? Twisting your neck and wiggling your hips?"
"No, that one, play our signature piece."
Her eyes were bright, full of anticipation.
