Education Is Very Important

Chapter 43: Education is Important

After seeing his children and wife off in the morning, Wang Yue arrived at the company and started working. This felt somewhat new to Wang Yue, and as he absorbed memories while diligently working, his attitude was extremely earnest.

After all, the design work he specialized in at So Young wasn't on such a large scale. Later, when he pursued his doctorate, it was mostly theoretical, and at most, he assisted his professors. He had never led a project himself, so he didn't dare to be careless.

At noon, while going to lunch, he happened to run into Xia Junshan. Looking at his dark circles, Wang Yue said, "Brother Xia, why are you so exhausted? What happened?"

"It's all my good father-in-law's doing. He wants two people who hate each other to form a loving family!" Xia Junshan drooped his head in frustration.

"If I remember correctly, your father-in-law's other daughter is his stepdaughter, right?" Wang Yue asked in disbelief.

"Yeah!" Xia Junshan listlessly picked at his food.

"Didn't you say the old dean was quite shrewd? It's already difficult enough for your wife to face her stepmother who broke up her family, and now she has to be loving with her stepsister!" Wang Yue quickly took a sip of honey ice city to calm his nerves.

Seeing that someone could finally listen to his complaints, Xia Junshan sighed, "So, the slightest spark ignites everything, and it ends unhappily. I spent half the night comforting my wife last night!"

"Brother Xia, are you kidding me? What kind of comfort did you give to look like this today!" Wang Yue chuckled, looking at Xia Junshan's dark circles.

"You're talking about me, but aren't you the same!" Xia Junshan retorted. However, he was a rather proud person, and his thick skin wasn't as thick as Wang Yue's now. After his teasing, Wang Yue remained unfazed, like an unmovable mountain.

Seeing that he couldn't win against this guy's shamelessness, Xia Junshan quickly changed the subject, "Yan Peng's son is quite amazing. Yesterday, he recited Pi to a very long decimal place."

"Even the most precise instruments don't need that much, do they? I felt it was excessive when I memorized it to the fourteenth decimal place. Does a primary school student need to go that far? Is he participating in a competition?" Wang Yue asked Xia Junshan.

"He's just showing off, thinking his son's grades are good, which makes my daughter look stupid!" Xia Junshan said resentfully.

"If his grades are good and he can contribute to science and technology for the country and its people in the future, I'll admire him. But from the sound of it, Yan Peng's wife is doing this for a good job in the future. And having a good job is just for earning money and enjoying life, which the Yan Peng family can already do! Why go through all this trouble?" Wang Yue's logic was impeccable, leaving Xia Junshan speechless.

With Yan Ziyou's background, he should have been able to enjoy his childhood. But he had to compete with ordinary people on that single-plank bridge according to his mother's requirements. This young man has potential. "So, do you think Tian Yulan is exploiting Yan Ziyou?"

"No! It's that guy Yan Peng who is exploiting Yan Ziyou!" Wang Yue disagreed, shaking his head.

"What does this have to do with Yan Peng? Is it because he can't control his wife?" Xia Junshan was a bit confused. He thought Wang Yue was helping him condemn Tian Yulan.

"No, Yan Peng is the only child in his family, with such a large family business. As a result, Yan Peng is just coasting along and can't shoulder the family responsibilities. This directly leads to Yan Ziyou having to be outstanding enough to bear everything that Yan Peng should have borne." Wang Yue's viewpoint made Xia Junshan thoughtful.

"The way you put it, it does seem to make some sense!" Xia Junshan gestured for Wang Yue to continue.

"Have you ever seen the elders of a wealthy family let their daughter-in-law manage their son like the Yan family? This is just Yan Peng's parents not wanting to admit their failure in education, nor do they have the confidence that they can raise their grandson to be talented, which is why they tacitly approved Tian Yulan's current unique position." After speaking, Wang Yue began to eat, his movements elegant and swift.

"Aren't you indirectly calling Yan Peng useless? I have to tell him about this. It's a shame he said you were a good person last time!" Xia Junshan looked like he had caught Wang Yue in a mistake.

"Go ahead. I'll tell him you insulted their family's Tian Yulan!" Wang Yue hit the nail on the head.

"Fine, you're ruthless!" Xia Junshan knew that it was okay to talk about Yan Peng, but talking about his wife was not something that could be easily brushed aside. Thus, he stopped talking and focused on his meal, which had cooled down while he was talking.

That evening, when Xia Junshan returned home, he relayed Wang Yue's words to his wife, Nan Li. Nan Li also felt that Wang Yue's words made sense. It was all Yan Peng's fault for not managing his wife and constantly bothering her. Men and women always have different perspectives.

Back home that evening, while his wife was cooking, Wang Yue accompanied the two children, helping Yuan Yuan with her homework while handing building blocks to Xiao Tuantuan and playing with him.

The parenting skills he learned after more than ten years of busy work at So Young were not learned in vain. Wang Yue thought this to himself, feeling no shame but rather pride.

After coaxing his wife and children to sleep, Wang Yue finally turned on his home computer and returned to his old profession, editing games, preparing to create the game "Glory" and then buy the copyright.

There was no rush for this; he could take his time. If the money in hand wasn't enough, he would learn from other transmigration players and make a fortune with Bitcoin first, Wang Yue thought gleefully.

To allow his family of four to enjoy life with ease, Wang Yue was really giving it his all. The main reason was his dissatisfaction with their current living environment. It wasn't that he himself was uncomfortable, but he felt sorry for his wife and children. Moreover, he wanted to bring his parents over, and then he and Wan Wan could live as freely as they did in So Young.

In their current home, when Tuantuan spread out his toys to play, there was no floor space to step on, and Yuan Yuan had to take out her stuffed animals one by one. Recalling the children's large rooms in So Young, Wang Yue felt incredibly motivated to work as a programmer this time.

After continuously working hard day after day, Wang Yue's dark circles became more and more severe. Xia Junshan, who hadn't seen Wang Yue for a few days, was greatly surprised when he saw Wang Yue from afar one day.

"Wang Yue, you need to take care of your health. We're not young anymore. Go to bed early at night and don't bother your wife too much!" Xia Junshan's words touched Wang Yue at first, but the latter half made his mouth twitch.

"Don't worry, my body is strong. I can work for a few thousand years without any problem. You should worry about your parent-teacher conference tomorrow. I heard Huan Huan failed her math exam." Wang Yue didn't hold back either, directly and painfully provoking the doting father.

"I'm doing it to give Huan Huan a happy childhood. Grades aren't everything," Xia Junshan still insisted stubbornly.

"Your daughter is a smart child, but her foundation is too weak. She can solve it by hiring a tutor in college; there's no need to enroll in cram school," Wang Yue offered a suggestion enthusiastically.

"Hire a tutor?" Xia Junshan was a doting father and would listen to anything that was good for his daughter.

"Yes, one tutor can handle Chinese, Math, and English. At least let's get through the primary to junior high school transition," Wang Yue didn't remember when the policy for this transition changed in this world, so it was better to improve her grades just in case.

"Did you hire a tutor for Yuan Yuan too?" Xia Junshan wanted to learn about parenting from Wang Yue.

"Brother Xia, intelligence is a good thing. You should carry it with you often and not forget it!" Wang Yue felt helpless, finding it difficult to communicate with this guy when it came to his daughter; his intelligence seemed to go offline.

"What do you mean? Oh, oh, your wife is a teacher!" Xia Junshan covered his face and walked away. He needed to discuss this with Nan Li.

Seeing that he had finally left, Wang Yue took advantage of the noon break to catch up on sleep. He was older now; he wouldn't be like this if he stayed up late programming like he used to.

Perhaps he should learn from President Li and put some wolfberries in his thermos?
