Chapter 52: Don't be pitiful
Mrs. Liu's birthday banquet lasted for more than two hours, and it was not until the sun set in the west that the birthday guests left one after another, and Su Quan, Su Jing's uncle and nephew were also among them.
When he was in Juyou Building, Su Quan was always smiling, chatting and laughing with other guests, and after stepping out of the door of Juyou Building with his front foot, his face instantly sank and he didn't say a word. Feeling that his uncle's mood was not good, Su Jing also followed behind honestly, he felt that the unhappiness in his uncle's heart was related to his performance at the birthday banquet just now.
The two of them were silent, and went all the way back to Wanjuan Building - although Wanjuanlou is called a building, it is actually just an ordinary courtyard that is not much different from learning, but there is a two-story small attic in the courtyard, so Su Quan took this name.
Due to the birthday party, the school is closed in the afternoon, and the students go home to move freely, and there is no one in the whole courtyard.
Entering the living room and sitting down, Su Quan poured himself a bowl of herbal tea and drank it, and when he turned around, he saw Su Jing standing aside with his head down, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands restless.
Putting down the tea bowl, Su Quan stared at his nephew, feeling his uncle's fierce gaze, Su Jing's head hung lower.
After being silent for a while, Su Quan spoke, "Come here." He commanded.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Jing instinctively didn't want to get closer, but under Su Quan's intimidation, how dare he not do it? It took a few minutes to paced forward at a snail's pace, only five or six feet. The problem is that no matter how much he grinds, the distance between the two people is so far, in front of Su Quan, he can't play that kind of trick of two steps forward and three steps back, right?
"Reach out." Su Jing stood two feet away, and Su commanded expressionlessly.
Tremblingly stretched out his left hand and spread it out, Su Jing knew very well what would happen next - his uncle was indeed very knowledgeable, otherwise his father would not have let go of so many schools in Qingyun City, so he had to send himself to this remote and backward Meilong Town to go to school, but this uncle is still a person who adheres to the theory of 'strict teachers produce high apprentices', and he is never tolerant of the mistakes made by students, even if they are related to each other, they will not get the slightest preferential treatment.
Su Quan took out the ring ruler from the table - this ring ruler was almost exactly the same as Yuan Lang's, both in size and material, if it wasn't carefully inspected at this time, about nine out of ten people would mistake it for the same one.
"Smack", with a heavy blow, the ring ruler fell on Su Jing's palm, and the tears of the child flowed out instantly, but even so, Su Jing bit his lip tightly and didn't cry, because he knew that that the result would only make his punishment heavier!
Once, twice, three times, and ten blows, Su Quancai stopped, and then looked at Su Jing's left hand, which was already swollen.
Putting down the ring ruler, Su Quan took out another bottle of medicinal wine, poured some on Su Jing's wounds, and then kneaded and massaged vigorously to promote the exertion of the medicinal power and reduce swelling and stasis.
"Do you know why you were punished?" While healing Su Jing's injuries, Su Quan asked, he has clear rewards and punishments, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and faults must be punished, whether it is a reward or punishment, it is a means rather than an end, the important thing is to let the other party know the real reason.
"Hmm." Su Jing nodded.
"Say." Su Quan commanded.
"We lost the game." Su Jing replied.
"Do you feel wronged?" Su Quan asked.
"Injustice." Su Jing replied aggrievedly.
"Do you feel wronged when you are punished or do you feel wronged when you lose?" Su Quan asked.
"Lose to others." Su Jing replied - the so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, follow the second uncle to study, his thinking is greatly influenced by Su Quan, the so-called winner is the king, the loser is the coward, the game lost, lost the face of the second uncle, so it is a matter of course to be punished by the second uncle.
"Why do you feel wronged?" Su Quan asked.
"That kid cheats, he can't remember all the cards." Su Jing said angrily.
"Even if he cheats, do you have any proof?" Su Quan asked with a calm face.
"Uh, no." One sentence stopped Su Jing, indeed, the so-called cheating is just his personal feeling, and where is there any real evidence.
"Since you don't, why are you saying it? On that occasion, do you think anyone will be on your side and speak for you? Others will only find you pitiful. Do you want to be a pathetic person? Su Quan's voice gradually became stern.
"No, it's not." Su Jing shook his head and said.
"Poor people must have something to hate, you are still young, others will look at you with a tolerant attitude, your crying at the birthday banquet is only regarded as a small thing, laugh it off, but you will not always be a child, one day you will grow up, and if you are still like this then, no one will look up to you! You're a clown in front of others. Manly, big husband, if you win or lose, you would rather hate than pity, do you hear it?! Su Quan said with a serious expression.
"Yes, I heard it, I would rather be hated than pitied." Su Jing repeated.
"Well, the children can be taught." Su Quan nodded with satisfaction.
After all, he is two or three years younger than you, in fact, he lost to him, if you are indifferent, just like that Tian Qingyou, I will be very disappointed in you, because that shows that you are not self-motivated, no self-motivated person, no matter how much you learn, you are just a mediocre person!"
"But then again, it won't be your fault for losing to that kid this time, that kid I tried later, it's true that his memory is amazing, and it may be a bit exaggerated to reach the level of memorability, but it won't be bad, a simple memory competition, not only will you not be able to win against him, I'm afraid that even the best students in the first-rate academy in Qingyun City may not be able to do it. So, this time you lose to him, the second uncle doesn't care very much, the so-called ruler is short, the inch is long, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, memory is the part he is good at, losing to him, it's acceptable, but everything can be done again, today's game is an encounter, we don't know the root or the bottom of Tan Xiaotian, so we will be caught off guard. I know very well about the situation of learning boundless, with the child's qualifications, it will definitely become the object of old man Yuan's key training, and become the golden sign of learning boundless, Wanjuanlou and learning boundless competition for more than ten years, has been pressed by learning boundless, if this child is let out of the limelight, the status of learning boundless will be more stable, so, such a thing must not happen again! Su Quan Zhengse said.
