Chapter 1623: You are your parents' treasure, but you are not everyone's sun

~8 min read 1,416 words

Flying Speed Chinese.

Shi Youxuan told her daughter: "Not everyone is supposed to like you; if someone likes you, we are happy."

"If others don't like us, we just like ourselves..."

Yueyue couldn't take it; she couldn't bear this grievance and burst into loud tears with a "waa."

At this moment, Sheng Hanyu came back from outside carrying a hoe.

Under normal circumstances, he would take a shower and change his clothes first after returning before going to keep the children company.

But Yueyue was crying, so he hurriedly put down the hoe and went to hug Yueyue.

As a result, he was shunned: "Daddy is so dirty, so smelly."

Yueyue covered her nose in disgust.

He had no choice but to go shower and change clothes first, then emerged from the bathroom feeling fresh and clean, asking his wife: "How did you upset Yueyue? She is so cute, how could you bear to?"

Shi Youxuan:...

It seems that it is not just Yueyue who has a problem in this family.

She said to her husband: "It wasn't me who upset her; Yueyue was rejected by a little boy she likes at kindergarten, and she came back looking unhappy."

After hearing this, Sheng Hanyu frowned: "Who?"

"Who is so blind? They don't even like my daughter; are their eyes blind?"

Shi Youxuan was speechless again.

Sheng Hanyu was still indignant, even wanting to go to the kindergarten to ask the principal who that boy was and how he was admitted.

Daring to dislike his daughter—expel him!

Shi Youxuan said: "I find you really ridiculous. You don't care about the boys at all, but you pamper your daughter to death. Shi Ran has been pampered by you into being self-righteous and won't listen to any opinions."

"Now you want to pamper Yueyue like this again? Can you live forever? You have the ability to shield her from the wind and rain now, but what about when the child grows up and you are old? Can you protect her for a lifetime?"

"We'll talk about the future later; anyway, as long as I can protect her now, I won't let my daughter suffer."

Shi Youxuan said: "Be reasonable. Now it's someone else's child who doesn't like your daughter, and your daughter likes them. The other child has done nothing wrong; on what grounds are you expelling them?"

Sheng Hanyu said: "I don't care. Anyway, he made my daughter unhappy, so I will make sure he has no kindergarten to attend."

"Do I need to ask on what grounds if I want to expel someone? Just on the grounds that I own the kindergarten."

Shi Youxuan:...

She was completely speechless.

She couldn't count on her husband; he pampered his daughter to the point of having no bottom line.

Shi Youxuan decided to educate her daughter herself.

Eating fruit after dinner.

She walked in carrying a plate of apples, washed clean, with water droplets still on them.

The bright red apples looked very appetizing and carried a sweet fragrance, but their sizes were very uneven.

Some were big, some were small, some were ugly, and some were good-looking; they were very easy to distinguish.

She let Yueyue take one first.

Yueyue loved eating apples very much and naturally took the biggest and reddest one in her hand, but just as she was about to eat it, her mother snatched it away!

Yueyue was very unhappy; she put her hands on her hips and questioned her mother: "You are very impolite, why did you grab my apple?"

Shi Youxuan asked: "Is your name on it? On what grounds do you say it's yours?"

Yueyue was unconvinced: "I got it first, so it's mine."

"The teacher said we must respect first-come, first-served."

"Oh, so we're talking about first-come, first-served, are we?"

Shi Youxuan said: "I bought this apple, I saw this apple first, and I was the one who washed it, so naturally it should be mine."

Yueyue was a bit unhappy, but she still picked up another one, looking at the biggest and reddest one in her mother's hand, then looking at the one in her own hand...

She felt very aggrieved.

"Adults grabbing food from a child, shame on you."

Shi Youxuan took a big bite without hesitation.

She smacked her lips while eating: "So sweet, so delicious."

Yueyue was unhappy: "Can you not smack your lips when you eat?"

"I want to, that's none of your business."

Yueyue pouted, wanting to cry.

At this time, her father came in, and she immediately complained: "Daddy, look at her, she grabbed my apple and is smacking her lips."

His little daughter had been wronged; if this were anyone else, he would absolutely not let it go.

But the person who wronged his daughter was his own wife, so his daughter would just have to be wronged; there was no help for it, he couldn't afford to offend this person either.

He said to his daughter: "Baby, that one is too big and you can't finish it; eating this one is the same. Stay away from her, don't provoke your mother; I don't dare to talk back to her either."

Yueyue:...

Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to educate her daughter: "You are unhappy because you didn't get the best, right?"

"Mm."

"But have you thought about it? There is only one 'best'; if you are happy, others might be unhappy."

"Everyone wants the best, but it doesn't mean everything good should be yours. This world is very fair; good things should be shared by everyone in turns. You can be happy if you get them, but you shouldn't be angry if you don't. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yueyue: "The big apple is very sweet, isn't it? You are very happy!"

Shi Youxuan:...

No, this education attempt failed.

The principles she spoke of were somewhat profound; it was normal for Yueyue to be unable to understand them at her young age, and she had been too eager for results.

She decided to be more straightforward: "Qiaoyi is good-looking, and if you like him, others will too; he can like you, or he can choose not to."

"Likewise, there are many children in kindergarten who like you, but you don't like everyone who likes you, right?"

Yueyue nodded earnestly: "That's right, Zimeng in our class likes me, but I don't like him."

"You see, this world is very fair; you should lose some things when you gain others, instead of everyone having to revolve around you. You are Mom and Dad's treasure, but you are not everyone else's sun."

"Mm!" Yueyue seemed to understand, but not quite; at any rate, she stopped crying.

The next day.

Yueyue went to kindergarten happily, remembering what her mother said, and no longer pestered Qiaoyi to play.

She didn't take the initiative, but Qiaoyi felt unhappy instead.

He took the initiative to bring his toys to Lele's side and said condescendingly: "I can play with you."

Yueyue glanced at him: "No need, I have other friends to play with."

After Yueyue changed her attitude, Qiaoyi started following Yueyue around instead...

After school in the afternoon, Yueyue returned home and said to her mother very happily: "Mom, go wash some apples; there should be big ones and small ones."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, just go wash the apples, hurry up and go wash them."

So Shi Youxuan washed a large basin of apples, in every color.

There were red ones, green ones, big ones, small ones, good-looking ones, and ugly ones!

Lele took the smallest apple and kept it for herself.

She then took the largest apple to give to Grandpa, but Grandpa doted on his granddaughter so much that he refused to eat it and insisted she eat it!

She then gave the big apple to Grandma, but Grandma was also reluctant to eat it and wanted to save it for her!

Yueyue brought the big apple back to show off to her mother.

"I understand what you meant now. Look, I gave the big apple to Grandpa, but Grandpa didn't want it; I gave it to Grandma, but Grandma didn't want it either; in the end, this apple is still mine."

"At kindergarten, I ignored Qiaoyi, and Qiaoyi took the initiative to come play with me. Mom was right, there's no need to rush, all the good things will be mine!"

Shi Youxuan:...

That was not what she meant.
