Chapter 1253 1255【Three views are inconsistent】
By the second half of 2021, Xiang Nan had mastered the three major types of painting: oil painting, watercolor painting, and gouache painting, and he was very good at painting.
He even painted a watercolor portrait for each of the thirty students in Zhang Xueer''s class, which the students and parents liked very much. I even want to sign up to learn painting from Xiang Nan.
Because, in June 2021, the Department of Off-campus Education and Training Supervision was formally established, announcing the end of the era of barbaric development of off-campus training institutions.
A large number of off-campus training institutions have closed down, leaving students with nowhere to go.
Therefore, parents want to sign up for interest classes, firstly, to let their children learn more skills and improve their overall quality; secondly, they also want to find someone to watch their children. After all, the children get out of school at four o''clock, and they feel uneasy without an adult to watch them. .
Xiang Nan naturally declined politely.
?He is now worth more than one billion, and he would not be happy if he was allowed to be the child king again.
Besides, he has already mastered Western painting, and now it’s time to learn other skills. He doesn’t have time to teach his children.
…
After mastering Western painting, Xiang Nan next learned to play musical instruments.
He wants to learn the violin.
Because he has felt since he was a child that people who can play the violin are particularly elegant.
??However, the violin is one of the most difficult Western instruments to play. Although Xiang Nan can already play the flute, pipa, guzheng, piano, and guitar, his musical sense and intonation are very good.
But when I first started playing the violin, it still felt like I was sawing wood, and I couldn''t even find the pitch.
Fortunately they live in a single-family villa, and fortunately Xiang Nan has money and installed a soundproof piano room for himself. Otherwise, if you live in an ordinary building, your neighbors will come to your door even if you haven''t practiced for two days.
…
“Husband, why do you have to learn the violin?” Zhang Xueer asked with a smile.
In fact, Xiang Nan can already play the piano very well, and he can also play the guitar in a decent manner. If he can play these two instruments, he can basically travel all over the world.
“Life is about difficult challenges.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “Just because it is difficult, I have to learn even more.”
?Learning the violin takes a long time. If he were in the real world, he would never waste two or three years just to learn an instrument.
?But this is a mission world, and there is plenty of time. He has enough time to do what he likes.
Zhang Xueer nodded. She admires Xiang Nan''s spirit of daring to take on difficult challenges.
…
In the second half of 2022, after a year of training, Xiang Nan was finally able to play the violin properly instead of sawing wood.
In the same year, Zhang Xueer finally became pregnant with his baby through his efforts.
In 2023, Xiang Nan was able to play the most difficult violin repertoire such as "Chaconne", "Sonata No. 9", and "Capriccio No. 24", and thus successfully started his studies.
In the same year, Zhang Xueer also successfully gave birth to a baby rabbit.
After discussion between the two, they finally named their son Zhong Ming.
??The so-called "dinner meal" with bells ringing and cauldrons ringing, is the pomp and circumstance of aristocrats. Moreover, the warning bells are ringing, which also means that people should reflect on themselves.
After the birth of her son, Zhang Xueer began to take maternity leave.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to ask Zhang Xueer to resign and concentrate on teaching his son at home. "My son can''t live without you, and I can''t live without you, so just resign." He suggested tentatively.
“But, there are still so many children waiting for me at school.” Zhang Xueer declined politely.
"The son is still waiting for you at home." Xiang Nan advised, "Look at how pitiful he is. Can you bear to leave him at home? Don''t you care about him?"
“Don’t we still have you at home? Besides, we still have my parents and a confinement nanny, so I don’t necessarily have to stay.” Zhang Xueer waved her hand.
"How can a confinement sister-in-law take your place? Can she care about the child as much as you do?" Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Besides, you know that I have always been clumsy. If the child is dropped by me, , I choked, I caught a cold, what should I do?”
“After all, you just want me to stay at home and be a housewife?” Zhang Xueer said angrily.
“What’s wrong with being a housewife? With our current wealth, we can enjoy happiness at home. Why do you ask for trouble and have to go out to work?
Are other people''s children more important than your own? Xiang Nan asked in confusion.
It is understandable that you have to go to work in order to make a living. But their family is already very rich now. With Xiang Nan''s investment, one billion has turned into two billion.
Even in Jiangzhou City, a city full of multi-millionaires, Xiang Nan can be regarded as a figure at the top of the pyramid. The money in hand can''t be spent in two lifetimes.
"How can you say that? In my opinion, other people''s children and my own children are all children." Zhang Xueer said plausibly, "I can teach dozens of children at school, but I can only teach one at home. Child. Can’t you tell which one is more important?”
“Those dozens of children, no matter how well you teach them, they are still their children. People will only call you [Teacher Zhang], not [Mom].
Furthermore, if you don’t go to school, there will be other teachers in the school to replace you. However, you are Zhong Ming''s biological mother, can you be replaced? You can''t tell which one is more serious. Xiang Nan retorted.
"I am the children''s class teacher, and I am the only one who knows them best. If I were another teacher, could I take over my job? But Zhong Ming has you, my grandparents, my confinement nanny, and you can all do my job well. Zhang Xueer insisted,
"Zhong Yi, you have forgotten what you told me before. You said that your ideal is to teach and educate people, but now that you have money, you have forgotten all your previous ideals."
“You are really an angel educator~” Xiang Nan couldn’t help but sarcastically said.
In order to educate other children, you neglect your own children. This approach is difficult for him to understand.
…
In the following period, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer quarreled several times about work.
?Zhang Xueer is not only busy with work at school, but also often visits students’ homes, leaving very little time to spend with him and his children.
Xiang Nan felt that he and his son were being taken less and less seriously, and he felt more and more disappointed.
In order to cheer up and vent his grievances, he bought an adze, chisel, axe, saw, and a large amount of wood, and learned to do carpentry work at home.
Xiang Nan’s uncle used to be a carpenter, building tables, stools, cabinets, beds, etc. for people.
Around the new century, home-made furniture was no longer popular, and married women focused on modular furniture. As a result, his business will have to stop, which is a pity.
Xiang Nan still remembers that when he was a child, he made a small car for himself out of wood, and it was so fun to pull it up and twist it. Therefore, I wanted to learn the craft of carpentry and make it for my son in the future.
So he invited an old technician to come to his home to teach him the craftsmanship.
After less than a year of study, he was already able to make furniture, carve wood carvings, turn beads, and make toys. He often posted his works online. Over time, he became a super internet celebrity with more than one million fans.
After replacing all the furniture in the villa and even replacing his son''s toys with solid wood, Xiang Nan also learned the art of woodcraft.
