16 Chapter 16
Gu Jingchen is busy with affairs, and it is rare to sleep until dawn. After getting up, he dyed Shen Qing with pillar incense, pushed open the door and walked out of the pantry, and smelled a warm and inviting aroma of food.
The house was very quiet, except for the faint sound of cooking utensils colliding in the kitchen, and the pale golden sunlight in the early morning spilled in through the window sashes, illuminating the ordinary and warm atmosphere of fireworks in the room.
Gu Jingchen's expression was soft, he stood in place and stopped for a while, then raised his feet and walked in the direction of the kitchen. Within a few steps, a dwarf figure appeared out of nowhere, clinging to his calves and sliding slowly in front of him.
Shen Xun sat cross-legged on the head of the robot vacuum cleaner with a bag of milk in his mouth, sliding forward while slapping the mount twice from time to time to adjust the direction in real time according to the obstacles.
Originally, when he was a dog, he was small and lightweight, and the robot carried him with ease, running around while sucking up dust and mopping the floor. But he is now a human figure, no matter how light it is, there are dozens of pounds, which is a bit difficult for sweeping robots that are not designed to be "loaded". The two electronic eyes were pressed to a red glow, almost clinging to the ground, and the disc-shaped shell was overwhelmed, spilling a tooth-sore creaking sound along the way.
This scene fell in Gu Jingchen's eyes, and it was really indescribable.
Shen Shi'an walked out of the kitchen with a casserole, saw Shen Xun's eyebrows twitch, and lifted him up with his back erection neck: "How many times have you said that don't ride it again, do you come to sweep the floor if you ride it?" ”
He looked up at Gu Jingchen again: "Morning, breakfast is ready to eat." ”
"Morning peace." Gu Jingchen replied, his eyes fell on Shen Xun as if he wanted to say something, he paused and didn't speak, turned around and walked into the bathroom to wash.
After breakfast, Mr. Gu was leaving. Shen Shi'an was not surprised, the higher his position, the busier his affairs, with his current status, it was already rare to be able to find time to come over and stay overnight.
However, before leaving, Shen Shi'an still had something to discuss with him: "It's been so long since the car accident, and my side has been safe and sound, even if someone really wants to do something to me, maybe they have already given up the plan, I think the bodyguard can be removed?" He was grateful to Wan Fan and the others for their dedication, but being watched and followed anytime and anywhere was not a pleasant experience. What's more, he can't be closely protected for a lifetime.
"She doesn't do anything to you now, it's because she's too busy to take care of herself." Gu Jingchen sneered, and several cold lights flashed under his eyes.
Shen Shi moved with peace of mind, and heard the meaning of his words: "Something happened to Mrs. Gu?" ”
Gu Jingchen showed a very obvious disgust for the three words "Mrs. Gu": "I don't know what stimulation I was given a year ago, I was confused all day long and said that there were evil ghosts who wanted to harm her, screaming and crying every night, making the house restless, going to the hospital and not finding out the problem, and seeing more than a dozen psychiatrists to no avail." Later, I heard that I felt that I had been lowered by someone, and now I am hiding in a temple in Southeast Asia, asking the master to solve the problem. "Heh, if you do too many bad things, isn't it easy to bump into ghosts?
Shen Shi'an was a little surprised: was lowered by someone? What kind of trouble is this?
Shen Xunzi next to him slipped and drank a bag of milk, burping along the way.
"The bodyguards are not in a hurry to withdraw first," Mr. Gu said: "Wait a few more months to see, the situation in the capital has been more complicated recently, and the Qin family may have some big moves." Don't worry, after half a year at most, I promise that she will never dare to make any more decisions about you. He will become the ruler of the Gu family, and he has made it clear that he only recognizes Shen Shi'an's son, and he must also prevent the other party's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry.
Shen Shi'an agreed and sent Mr. Gu to the door. Gu Jingchen looked at him and then at the children who were following him, and after thinking for a moment, he said again: "An An, raising children is not an easy matter, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are more important education issues. You are still young, you are busy with your studies, and this child is about to reach the age of kindergarten, how can you take care of it alone? If you agree, I can bring him back to the capital first, provide him with the best educational resources and living conditions, and then send him back when your career is stable after your studies are over. ”
As soon as Shen Xun bared his fangs, a warm palm pressed on the top of his head. Shen Shi'an shook his head: "I appreciate Mr. Gu's kindness, but he is my son, and I have the obligation to raise him with my own hands." ”
The dog was picked up by his own hands, and it was because of him that he became a man. In any case, he has to personally ensure that the children can live a normal life in this society.
Mr. Gu seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of Shen Shi'an's words, thinking that he meant something to imply that he was an unqualified father, and his eyes showed a little bitterness. Forced to smile: "That's fine." If you have any difficulties, just tell me. ”
Shen Shi'an nodded: "I will." After a pause, he stepped forward and gave him a very light hug: "Have a good trip." ”
This hug made Gu Jingchen's mood much better, and he didn't let Shen Shi'an send it, so he took the elevator downstairs by himself. The assistant had already led someone to park the car downstairs and wait, and before getting into the car, Gu Jingchen asked Wan Feng, who came out: "That child named Shen Xun, is it really An An?" ”
Wan Feng shook his head: "I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be." That day, Mr. Shen went to the mall by himself, and when he came back, he took a child with him, which seemed to have been picked up by Mr. Shen after being abandoned. ”
Speaking of this matter, it is actually a dereliction of duty for him and Fan Guoping: as a bodyguard for 24-hour close protection, the two of them didn't even know when Shen Shi'an went out that day. Wan Feng is confident in his own ability, and he is also confident in Fan Guoping, it is almost impossible to avoid the detection of the two of them and go downstairs alone, but this incident did happen. There is such an omission, no matter what the reason is, it is a little unspeakable shame to stand in front of the employer at this time.
However, Gu Jingchen didn't care about this, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he got into the car: He said, with the genes of the Gu family and the Shen family, the children born should not be the same, with underdeveloped brains.
Shen Shi'an rejected Mr. Gu's proposal to raise the child on his behalf, but the other party's words reminded him of one thing: Shen Xun is now a human being, and if he wants to survive in this society, he must receive the corresponding education.
It's just that the child has a temper that wants to bite people at every turn, how dare Shen Shi'an send him to the kindergarten. After thinking about it, I can only teach myself for the time being.
During the Spring Festival, most of the shops were closed, and it was not easy to find a few on the Internet that could be shipped normally, and after careful comparison, I selected a few sets of preschool teaching materials. Shen Xun's biggest problem at present is that his words are slurred and his speech is ambiguous, so Shen Shi'an decided to start from the basics and learn pinyin first.
Considering that he has not been a human for a long time after all, it is estimated that boring learning is not acceptable, and it is better to educate and entertain. So in addition to textbooks, Shen Shi'an picked out a few comic books and storybooks for him, as well as several sets of easy-to-use Lego bricks. In the end, he bought himself a few more professional books on text code decipherment—he still wanted to try to find a way to read the exercise books during the holidays.
The delivery arrived a little faster than he expected. Shen Xun leaned close to Shen Shi'an, and as soon as the express box was opened, he quickly took out a box of building blocks from it, put it in his mouth and bit it, feeling that it was not tasteful, so he threw it back with a lack of interest.
With the teaching materials, and then moved out the small desks and blackboards that had been prepared long ago, and the paper, pencils, and erasers were placed neatly in turn, Shen Shi'an cleared his throat: "The little sunflower class has officially started." ”
The teaching progress is quite smooth. Although the child looked a little stupid, he didn't expect that he was actually very smart, and his learning speed greatly exceeded Shen Shi'an's expectations, and it only took less than two days to memorize all the initials and finals. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Shen Shi'an probably wouldn't have imagined that just over a month ago, he was still a fluffy, coquettish, and little milk dog that bit holes in his trouser legs when he was angry.
Unfortunately, the gratifying teaching process soon encountered obstacles.
Shen Shi'an took a deep breath and secretly warned himself for the twenty-third time: Don't worry, he is still a child, children learn things slowly, they have to be patient and teach well, and if they teach more times, they can always learn. Then he pointed to the pinyin in the textbook and said, "Come, read this word again." ”
The child sat upright, looked cute and well-behaved, and said with a milky voice: "m-i-force, f-eng-hum, force!" ”
It's the same thing when you think it alone, and it's a thousand miles away when you think it together.
"Wrong! What is the power hum, is the force hum a word? How many times have the same word been wrong? You look at the picture behind this, how can two bees of such a big one mispronounce ......" Shen Shi'an bit his back molars and tried to tone as lightly as possible: "I just taught, mi, the tongue hangs in the air and pronounces it with the lips, bees, buzzing bees, bees that sting and swollen a bag, remember?" Easing his emotions, he pointed to the next pinyin: "Read this word again." ”
The child looked at it: "h-ua-hair, h-u-fu, d-ie-butterfly, fafu butterfly!" "It's a word.
The corners of Shen Shi'an's eyebrows jumped, and the palm hanging on his right leg was loose and tight: Don't worry, don't worry, the child is young, and he has just learned, it is normal to make mistakes, and he can't be killed.
Why didn't he know that teaching children would be so torturous?
Grinding his teeth, he corrected it carefully word by word, and then squeezed out a smile with his best efforts: "Come on, think about how I taught you before, you must be able to be so good." Come on, how do you read this? ”
"x-i-ao-small, s-ong-fierce, sh-u-xu," Shen Xun scratched his face: "Little fierce Xu!" ”
Shen Shi'an closed his eyes and took a deep breath, held back his breath, stood up suddenly, rushed to the kitchen to pick up two kitchen knives, and chopped the meat filling left and right for half an hour.
When my nerves finally relaxed, I looked at the incomparably smooth minced meat on the cutting board, and my heart moved, and I suddenly had an idea.
Strode back to the desk, picked up the pen and wrote two words on the small blackboard and annotated pinyin, "Come, try again, read it right, let's eat this at noon." ”
Shen Xun's eyes instantly focused, and this time he read it quickly: "h-ong-red, sh-ao-burned, r-ou-meat, braised pork!" k—ao—roasted, j—i—chicken, t—ui—legs, grilled chicken thighs!! ”
Shen Shi'an let out a long sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl: he knew it.
Strike while the iron is hot, quickly pick up the textbook and continue to ask him: "How to read this?" ”
The child's tone is full of words: "d-a-big, x-i-several, g-ua-eight, big eight!" ”
“……”
Shen Shi'an pinched the corners of his forehead, feeling that he was an exhausted old father.
