Chapter 232: Psychological Shadow
Xue Ying couldn't imagine Xue Jing's words, after all, the third lady was a housewife, gentle and elegant, and Xue Qi was a rigid and cold bureaucrat in her impression, and the two of them couldn't be connected with the word "naughty". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But she doesn't plan to get to the bottom of it: "Your injuries haven't healed yet, why did you run out again?"
Xue Jing jumped off the chair, saluted dignifiedly, and then said, "I came to apologize to Sister Ying, yesterday my second sister said that to you in public, I'm really sorry." ”
Two people have come to apologize for this incident, but the person who should really apologize is probably not apologetic at all. Xue Ying touched Xue Jing's head: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to apologize." Since you're here, let's have some snacks, Aunt Shunzi's craftsmanship is good. ”
"Sister Qiaoya has already let me taste it, it's really delicious. Without Liao Yunxi by his side, Xue Jing's behavior was much more stable, and he looked like a little adult.
Xue Ying thought he was very interesting: "You like sweets? Then I'll cook for you another day, okay?"
Xue Jing's eyes widened and beautiful: "Sister Ying can also make pastries?"
"Of course, Aunt Shunzi's dim sum making is still instructed by me. Xue Ying pulled him over and sat down, "Just say what you want to eat, I'll make it for you, it's guaranteed to be delicious!"
Xue Jing nodded.
"You don't want to go to school, is it because the master and others often compare you to your second sister?"
Xue Jing's excited little face suddenly dimmed, although he didn't answer Xue Ying's question, but his expression already said everything.
Xue Ying suddenly became a little angry. This Xue Yao relied on the identity of a traverser, relying on plagiarizing the achievements of others to greatly succeed in the prestige of a "genius child", she has won countless praises, but she has also set a wrong benchmark for others.
The girls of her time were overshadowed by her, and even her own brother was affected by it. Children at this age are the time to be competitive, and the most taboo is to be compared with better people, no matter how open-minded Xue Jing is, he will inevitably be told all day long "How was your sister back then, you are her younger brother, how can you be like this", it is inevitable that there will be a shadow in his heart.
It's not that Xue Jing himself is not good enough, it's not that he doesn't work hard enough, but when he comes up with the example of "Xue Yao", no matter how high his talent and hard work are, it will be in vain.
Every time I go to the school, I have to bear that kind of pressure, Xue Jing is still so young, and the result of not knowing how to solve it is passive truancy, and truancy leads to being unable to keep up with homework, and when it is compared, the damage becomes greater and greater, forming a vicious circle.
Just thinking about it, Xue Jing gently pulled down her sleeve. Looking up, Xue Jing's innocent eyes were full of pleading: "Sister Ying, can you keep this secret for me?"
"Didn't you tell the third lady about this?"
Xue Jing shook his head, and then emphasized: "I like the second sister very much, she is my idol!"
"I know, but it has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, whether you worship your second sister or not, you have to let the third lady know the reason why you skipped class, and keeping silent will only make her more worried. ”
Xue Jing lowered her head: "But if the second sister knows, she will be sad." She loves me so much, but I feel uncomfortable because others say good things about her, it's so undeserved. Sister Ying, am I a bad boy?"
Xue Ying was very sure: "Of course you are a good boy. If you don't say it, you don't want your second sister to be sad, and you don't want your mother to be embarrassed by this matter, do you?"
Xue Jing nodded.
"But just endure it, how uncomfortable you are!"
Xue Jing shook his head vigorously: "I already know that I am wrong, so I will definitely correct it in the future." I promise never to skip classes again. I will study hard, even if I am not as good as my second sister. ”
"Who said that you are not as good as your second sister, haven't you heard that everyone has their own strengths? I admit that your second sister is very good at poetry and songs, but she is only mediocre in terms of scriptures and righteousness, isn't she?"
"The second sister doesn't plan to participate in the scientific examination, it's normal for the Jingyi policy to be bad, right?" Xue Jing couldn't help but argue.
"Is it because you don't plan to participate in the scientific examination so you don't have a good policy, or because you are not good at it, you don't take the road of scientific research?"
Xue Jing puffed out his mouth angrily: "Don't say bad things about the second sister, my second sister is a genius!"
"I don't deny that she is a genius, but as I said, everyone has their own strengths, and even geniuses have shortcomings. It's unfair for others to compare her talent with you, and it's even more wrong for you to think that you will never be as good as your second sister. Even if you are not as good as your second sister now, as long as you study hard and keep improving, one day you will surpass her in some way. ”
Xue Jing's eyes faltered slightly.
"Besides, it doesn't matter if there is no way to surpass her, people's biggest opponents are themselves, not others. ”
"What does that mean?"
"You're still young, you'll understand in a few years. ”
"But, what if the master says that I can't compare to the second sister?"
"If he likes to talk, let him say it, could it be that he was better than your second sister when he was as old as you? Maybe he couldn't compare to you back then! You just think he was jealous that you have such an excellent sister, and the next time you encounter that kind of situation, you will follow and praise your second sister, praise him better than him, and let him have nothing to say!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Xue Jing's face, which had been depressed.
"And you can look at it from a different angle. With such an excellent role model as your second sister, you can have goals and fighting spirit when you are desperately catching up, which is a good thing for your progress, right?"
Xue Jing nodded, and then smiled proudly: "I am so lucky to have such a powerful second sister! In the future, others can say whatever they like, they want to have such a powerful sister to compare, hum!"
"That's right, come, I'll reward you with a piece of lotus pastry!"
Xue Jing happily ate the snack, and after a while, he came over and asked, "Sister Ying, have you ever been to school?"
Xue Ying nodded: "It's been a few days, but for some other reasons, it's always been intermittent." It's a shame for me. ”
"So, can I ask you any questions in the future?"
"Of course, I can't guarantee that I will be able to answer you, but if you have a question, you may have an unexpected surprise. As the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang!"
"Who is Zhuge Liang?"
"Well, a very smart guy. By the way, Dong Xun's schoolwork is doing well, so let's discuss it together, okay?"
"Okay, good!" Xue Jing was happy, and his whole little face was glowing, "I can also learn martial arts from Sister Qiaoya!"
"Then you are always welcome to come. But," Xue Ying raised her index finger, "You can't skip class again!"
Xue Jing raised three fingers: "I promise!"
