Chapter 742: Extracurricular Classes
Chapter 742: Extracurricular Classes
Huang Xiaochuan spent a total of five days in the Xiajiang area, and with the travel time, the trip took him a total of eight days.
When he got home, he found his son fiddling with his Leica 6 camera. Seeing that his son was completely engrossed, Huang Xiaochuan didn't disturb him. Instead, he asked Yu Xiang, "Where did you find this treasure of mine?"
While urging Huang Xiaochuan to take a shower, Yu Xiang answered his question: "The school organized extracurricular classes at the beginning of the new semester, and your son signed up for two classes at once, one for computer programming and the other for photography. I originally wanted to buy him a new camera, but then I thought that we had one at home, and you don't use it, so I found it and gave it to your son."
Huang Xiaochuan was incredibly surprised: "He didn't sign up for a chess class? This is unbelievable!"
Yu Xiang angrily punched the man: "What kind of father are you? Honestly, don't you think even your dad and my dad are no match for him? Who could beat him in the elementary school chess club? Besides, who says our son can only have chess as a hobby?"
"Hehe, I was being presumptuous!" Huang Xiaochuan quickly admitted his mistake.
"Hey? Where's our daughter?" Huang Xiaochuan looked around; it seemed the little girl wasn't home.
"My second sister took me out. She said she was going to buy some clothes for her and Liu Jin. Don't worry, someone is with us." Yu Xiang took the man's coat.
Hearing that someone had been arranged to go with him, Huang Xiaochuan finally felt relieved and went upstairs to take a shower.
After taking a shower and going downstairs, Huang Zeji was still fiddling with his Leica 6, occasionally raising the camera to practice focusing. It was only then that he saw his father return.
"dad!"
Huang Xiaochuan walked over to his son and patted his head: "When did you start liking photography?"
Huang Zeji's answer was reasonable and well-founded: "I saw a photography magazine in the school library. The photos in it were very beautiful. The magazine also said that photography is an art. Our teacher said that photography involves many branches of science, and we can also learn about art. It motivates us to keep learning and researching new things, and it can also keep our brains active and cultivate patience and attention."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded with satisfaction. He bought the camera because he really liked the Leica 6 and wanted to take more photos. But for a long time afterward, he didn't have time to play with the camera anymore. He never expected that his son would like it.
Huang Xiaochuan decided to teach his son the little photography knowledge he had: "Do you know what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are?"
Huang Zeji nodded, then added, "Dad, wait for me a moment, I'll go get something for you to look at!"
After saying that, he put down the camera and ran upstairs in a flash.
Huang Xiaochuan rarely saw his son being so proactive, and couldn't help but laugh.
The thing Huang Zeji took from his room was a photograph, which he had taken!
After seeing the photos, Huang Xiaochuan was greatly surprised and asked his son, "Did you take these?"
Huang Ze nodded.
"Not bad, not bad, really good, much better than mine. Looks like this camera has found a new owner." Huang Xiaochuan looked at the photos in his hand again and again, never getting tired of them. A second-grade elementary school student who had only been in a photography class for a few days could take such beautiful and artistic photos. If he didn't have talent, he definitely couldn't have taken them. Huang Xiaochuan himself felt that he didn't have such talent.
The idea of giving his son some pointers on photography was immediately forgotten by Huang Xiaochuan. Based on just these few photos, his son could be his teacher in photography. (The novel "1990 I'm Back" is described as having stunning writing and a captivating plot.)
Just as the father and son were discussing photography, Zeng Xia returned with Huo Xinyuan and Huang Ruiying. It seemed they had bought quite a lot on this shopping trip, as each of the three female bodyguards who accompanied them was carrying several large bags.
"Daddy!" The little girl rushed over to her father with a look of surprise and joy.
"Uncle!" Huo Xinyuan called out from behind.
"Little brother? When did you get back?" Zeng Xia asked Huang Xiaochuan with a surprised look.
Huang Xiaochuan replied, "I just got back a little while ago." Then he complained, "We still have plenty of clothes at home, why did you buy clothes for Xiaoduo again?"
"Oh my, you're a man, so it's hard to explain to you clearly. Have you heard this saying before?" Zeng Xia said confidently.
Huang Xiaochuan laughed: "Tell me about it, so I can broaden my horizons!"
Zeng Xia said with a smug look, "A woman's wardrobe can never be complete without a beautiful dress!"
Okay! Huang Xiaochuan admitted that this reason was very strong, so he no longer wanted to discuss this issue with Zeng Xia. She and Huo Miao, this couple, one can earn money and the other can spend it, so they don't spend much money anyway. Besides, girls should dress up nicely.
Seeing that her younger brother was no longer speaking, Zeng Xia turned to Yu Xiang and said, "Yu Xiang, I also brought you two outfits. Try them on quickly, and if they don't fit, we can exchange them."
"Oh! Why did you buy this for me?" Yu Xiang said politely as she took the clothes from Zeng Xia and held them up to herself.
Although Yu Xiang's clothes are all custom-made in Hong Kong, she occasionally buys a few items from shopping malls. After all, shopping is something every woman enjoys, so she naturally wouldn't refuse the clothes that Zeng Xia brought back for her.
Yu Xiang quickly went to her room to change into her new clothes. After coming downstairs, she made a point of showing them off to everyone: "How is it? Does it look good?"
Zeng Xia circled around Yu Xiang once, then said with certainty, "I knew as soon as I saw this outfit that it would suit you best, which is why I bought it."
Huang Xiaochuan wasn't interested in the two women's conversation. When he saw Yu Xiang and Zeng Xia discussing clothing, he felt extremely bored and turned to go upstairs to his study. Huang Zeji, like his father, followed him upstairs with his camera and photos, preparing to return to his room.
As the father and son went upstairs together, Huang Xiaochuan stopped and asked, "I heard from your mother that you signed up for two extracurricular classes? Can you manage them all? Won't it interfere with your studies?"
Huang Zeji hugged the camera tightly to his chest, thought for a moment, and then answered his father's question: "The teacher said that participating in interest classes can cultivate logical thinking and innovation, which will help my all-round development."
It has to be said that this reason was very convincing, leaving Huang Xiaochuan with no reason to object. His somewhat introverted son was more mature than other children his age, perhaps because he had loved playing chess since he was a child. He had a level of focus on everything that was beyond his years. Huang Xiaochuan had always worried that his son was not lively enough and that he would not enjoy a happy childhood. Now it seems that he had been worrying too much. This child clearly knew what he needed and what he should do. Huang Xiaochuan, as the father, sometimes couldn't believe that he had given birth to such a child.
"Okay! I respect your choice, but let's make it clear beforehand that if this interferes with your studies, you'll have to give up one of your extracurricular activities."
"Dad! Don't worry! I definitely won't let it interfere with my studies." Huang Zeji looked confident.
Seeing his son like this, Huang Xiaochuan naturally didn't say anything more.
