"Sister Dena." Donald shouted to Dena, who was sitting quietly reading a book on a bench in the small garden, as he walked over to her.

Dena gently closed the book and turned her head as she reached out and stroked her long pale blonde hair, which had been ruffled by the cool evening breeze, and frowned her slender eyebrows slightly at Donald.

"Donald, Mom told you to come to me, right? Why, you and your mother also sided with each other? Dena stared at Donald dissatisfied.

"Sister......" Donald dragged out his voice and crouched down in front of his sister. Originally, Donald was already a lot taller than Dena at this time, but this squatting down was a little shorter than Dena who was sitting, and coupled with the long tone, it suddenly reminded Dena of those things when they were children. She knew that it was just a little trick Donald wanted to soften her. Still, she felt her heart soften.

"Well, Donald, you're not a kid anymore. Stand up and sit here. What did Mom tell you to tell me? Dena's tone softened.

"Dena, what does Mom want me to say, don't you know yet?" Donald stood up, straightened his ironed formal suit, and sat down beside Dena.

"But sister, my mother's worries are not without reason. Do you think, when did she see a girl who traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to the other side of the earth to study? She's probably never heard of this kind of thing, right? Donald was careful to explain the reason for their mother, Catherine. Because he knows that his sister has always been not in tune with his mother. Mom always wanted to train Sister Dena to be a "real lady", and from a very young age, she continued to train Dena in all kinds of "talents and skills necessary for a lady". But on the other hand, as a young lady of the MacDonalds, it is unlikely that Dena will learn nothing and understand nothing but "the skills and skills that a true lady should have" like the other "ladies". For those "ladies", it is enough to have "natural intelligence, gentle temperament, and outstanding looks". This was not the case with the MacDonalds, whose rule was: "Use women as men, and men as animals." ”

And when it comes to Dena, she is even more tragic than the men of the MacDonalds. Because what the men of the MacDonald family need to learn, she has to learn. What the men of the MacDonald family don't need to learn, she has to learn too. Donald and Greystone only had to study Chinese, math, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, and physical education. But what about her? In addition to these, she also has to learn instrumental music, vocal music, ballet, and ...... In short, Dena felt that since she was seven years old, her family had been raising her as an animal.

Of course, a person should be well-rounded, and Uncle Scrooge is the best example of this. He was the best businessman, the best chemist, one of the best physicists, the best ...... But Uncle Scrooge couldn't play the piano, he couldn't do a 360-degree spin on his tiptoes, and he couldn't even eat crispy bones without making a sound. However, Dena has to know all of this.

Finally one day, Dena couldn't take it anymore. One night when she was twelve, Dena climbed over the fence with a homemade rope ladder to prepare for home. The result, of course, was caught by the guards as soon as he got out of the wall. And there were some dangers in between, and if it weren't for the quick reaction of the guards, Dena would have almost been bitten by the pit bulls held by the guards. However, the operation proved to be exceptionally successful. Because of this incident, Dad, who has always listened to his mother on "small things", clearly stood up in support of Dena, thinking that Catherine had given Dena too many tasks, and this situation must be changed. Dena's learning content must be lightened.

Catherine also agrees to reduce the burden on Dena, but the couple argues over what to reduce. Carroll believes that lady education can be reduced, but Catherine insists that lady education not only cannot be reduced, but also needs to be strengthened, but some physical and chemical knowledge or something, roughly know a little bit.

"What's the use of learning these things so well? Could it be that our family Dena will have to go to the real yàn room to do research in the future? A basic understanding is sufficient. Catherine said.

However, the final decision on this kind of matter is not in the hands of the couple. I have to ask Scrooge about this. And Scrooge's statement turned out to be:

"Lady education or something will be canceled completely, forget it. Anyway, it doesn't matter if our daughter is a lady or not. In the current situation of our family, there is no need to consider the possibility of letting Dena go out and marry. So, why do you want Dena to learn so much of the mess of a lady's education? Dena's talent in mathematics and physics is good, and with such a heavy learning task, her math and science scores are still better than Donald and Greystone. Although Donald works hard, his head is not too bright, and sometimes he can't control his temper. Greystone's talent in mathematics is not even as good as her mother's, but his ability to express himself is good, and he will probably be able to hand over the media to him in the future. As for Little John, and Little Mary, they are still too young, and their talent in this area is not yet obvious. Judging from the present, the responsibility of presiding over the Dashi yàn room in the future is likely to be borne by Dena. So, if you're a lady or not, don't worry about it. ”

The notion that "a lady is not a lady, there is nothing great" will certainly not be supported by Catherine. But after hearing that Dena might take over the big room in the future, Catherine decided not to object too much. This department can already be regarded as the core of the MacDonald consortium in a large way. Scrooge was willing to make a possible future move to put the department in Dena's hands, an arrangement that even exceeded Carroll and Catherine's expectations. If Scrooge was willing to hand over such an important department to Dena, then he would definitely be able to treat the next generation of children fairly. But Catherine still said:

"But Dena always has to get married."

"If we were to put such a responsibility on Dena, it would be impossible for her to marry into another family that was compatible with us in the future. It is impossible for us to marry such an important family member into someone else's family. So, it is impossible for Dena to get married. Scrooge smiled, "She can only marry a husband in the future." ”

Since then, Dena's life has been much better. However, after canceling most of the "lady education", Catherine still beat the drum in her heart when she saw that Dena was becoming more and more like a female man.

Today, both Dena and Donald have completed secondary school. (In the eyes of Dena and Donald, Uncle Scrooge is usually very amiable, but when it comes to education, he becomes extremely harsh and harsh.) In fact, the education of the successor is never particularly easy, even in later generations. Nowadays, many people think that basic education in Europe and the United States is very easy, but in fact, whether it is the United Kingdom or the United States, for those elite private schools, the learning burden is very heavy, and there is actually no difference between those key high schools in the rabbit country. Last year, a middle school in the lighthouse country is famous for its high percentage of students attending Ivy League, and there were several incidents of students committing suicide because of too much pressure on their studies. Thanks to Scrooge's intervention, Dena and Donald certainly got the best education, and of course the most stressful education. So much so that by the time Dena and Donald were sixteen years old, they had already completed their pre-college education.

"Education must be a combination of classroom and social life." This was Scrooge's point of view, and because of Scrooge's dominant position in the family, his opinion naturally rose to the will of the family. So every year Scrooge arranges for the children to go on a so-called social experience. For example, I went to the factory under the control of the MacDonald consortium, and worked in the real yàn room, and the company worked for a while. In this way, they can have a more perceptual understanding of society and the operation of the enterprise. This will be of great help to take over the business in the future.

Of course, the MacDonald's children are also essential for the necessary safety guarantees. But if you have a group of bodyguards behind you all day long, then this social experience has no meaning. Because everyone will know that there is something wrong with the origin of this temporary worker.

Therefore, hiding your identity is the best protection. In fact, the MacDonald family has been exposed to the media much less over the years. In the past, Scrooge, who had the most exposure, appeared a lot less, and his name hardly appeared too much, except for some articles published in some scientific magazines from time to time. And Carol and Dorothea are also much more low-key than before. As for his children, they will not appear in any media. Even, the people outside, even the second generation of the MacDonald family, how many people, how many men and women, do not know. And there are many companies under the MacDonald consortium, so it is particularly convenient to arrange their "social practice".

After high school, Scrooge planned to spend a year at McDonald's businesses before attending the University of Cleveland. But Dena said that she wanted to leave the United States and go to Europe, or even go to Europe to go to college.

"Uncle Scrooge, I think the University of Göttingen is very good right now. It's no worse than the University of Cleveland. Especially in mathematics and physics, he has always been at the forefront of the world. So I wanted to go around Europe on my own and end up studying at the University of Göttingen. That's what he said to Scrooge at the time.

The idea was supported by Scrooge, but Catherine was very much against it. In her opinion, a girl who travels to Europe by herself, or even goes to Europe to study at a university, is simply ...... It's just that Dena, who has the support of the biggest big boss, can already ignore her mother's opposition. Therefore, Catherine can only use the guò curve to let Donald persuade her sister.
