Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Taiping Mountain, a garden full of fragrance.

After breakfast, Wu Youde called all the children in the family over. He is now the father of 21 children.

The oldest one, Wu Qionghua, is now 19 years old.

The youngest, Wu Ping'an, is just 6 years old.

In the huge flower hall, a large group of people were standing. Wu Youde sat in the upper seat, and all the children were standing.

Wu Youde picked up the teacup and took two sips. Then he put it down, looked around at the children, and said calmly, "Have you seen the news in the newspapers these days?"

"I see. Dad, you are talking about little Li Xiaolin, right?" Wu Qionghua was the first to answer.

Wu Youde nodded slightly and looked at the others.

"Dad, I watched it too. I didn't expect that I could fall in love on the Internet. It's really amazing..." said Wu Taoyao.

Wu Chenxing said: "Dad, I saw it too."

Bai Chengyu also nodded, "Dad, I know about this."

"Dad, I saw it too."

"I heard it all at school, Dad."

"Dad, did you watch the news? Is this true or false?"

"It must be true. It's in the newspaper, so how can it be false?"

"What's impossible?"

"Let Dad tell you. Dad knows everything!"

"You two are overthinking it. Is this something you made up? It must be true. I've met several friends at night recently, and we usually get along well."

"Male and female?"

"Why are you asking this? When making friends, it's enough to look at their character. Why do you care whether they are men or women?"

"Hahahaha... As soon as I heard you say that, I knew it was a girl! Dad, Jingzhi is in a premature love relationship, I'm going to tell Sanniang!"

"I didn't, Wu Qingyuan, stop talking nonsense!"

"You don't have any, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

It would have been fine if more than twenty half-grown children didn't speak, but once they started to speak, it was a big deal. The noise was deafening, with people shouting and yelling, and it was as noisy as a vegetable market.

"Shut up, everyone. Be quiet."

Wu Youde's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, and the noisy hall became quiet in an instant.

Wu Youde frowned and looked around at everyone, "What are you all arguing about? What did I teach you? The truth does not lie in the loudness of the voice!"

Although his words were a bit harsh, the children were all smiling. It was obvious that they were not afraid of him in their hearts. This also indirectly showed that they had a good relationship between father and son.

After a pause,

Wu Youde added: "Today's topic is this matter. Let's talk about what we have seen from this matter..."

"The same rules, still two hours. No talking, just writing. Bring it to me when you're done."

"let's start."

As soon as he finished speaking, the children who were standing in a neat row suddenly dispersed, went to the tables on both sides to get paper and pens, and then found a place to start thinking.

This is the Wu family's current routine, once a month, but the time is not fixed.

It's called monthly exam.

This test was not about book knowledge. Wu Youde never tested the children's academic performance. He tested things other than academic performance.

For example, last month,

He asked all the children to analyze the current industries and decide which industry will have the best prospects, which industry will be declining, and which industry will be neither good nor bad in the next ten years.

Everyone expresses their own opinions, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

Write whatever comes to your mind, but just make sure it's not random writing.

As for the month before last,

He asked all the children, what do you think is your best aspect? What do you think you can improve on? What do you think is your worst aspect?

And the month before that,

He took a handful of hybrid rice seeds and asked all the children, what is this?

……

The topics of each monthly exam are different.

It seems like a wild imagination or randomly fabricated, and sometimes it even makes people feel completely confused and baffled.

Wu Youde's purpose in doing this is that he wants to use these tests again and again, based on different questions and different things, to try to understand the temperaments of these children as much as possible and find out where their upper limits are...

Only by understanding your children as much as possible can you make better arrangements for them in the future.

Make their lives more exciting and happier!

Indeed, with Wu Youde's current status, it would be easy for his children to do whatever they want, just lie down.

Doing business?

The resources that the Wu family now controls are immeasurable and unfathomable. Even for Wu Youde himself, it is difficult to figure out how much money he has and how many companies he owns!

Directly and indirectly, the number is countless!

The Wu family is now a small enterprise, so it is more appropriate to call them a chaebol...

Therefore,

For the Wu family, if they want to do business, it is as easy as drinking cold water. No matter which industry they want to engage in, they have huge connections and resources and can get whatever they want.

Apart from doing business, the remaining options are politics and military service.

These two paths are also very simple for the people of the Wu family!

Which country's politics do you want to follow?

Mainland, Kowloon, Singapore, Eagle Country...

Choose any of these four places and we’ll arrange it for you in minutes!

Join the army?

This works too!

It’s no different than being in politics!!

But even so, Wu Youde still wanted his children to live a comfortable and happy life.

He can't give you these two points.

Because everyone's life is managed by himself.

……

Not long after,

A faint sound of writing began to be heard in the flower hall. Wu Youde's hearing and eyesight were much better than those of ordinary people. He found the owner of the sound immediately.

Wu Chenxing.

This is his eldest son, born to Chen Xueru. He has been calm and quiet since he was a child. While his other brothers and sisters were climbing trees and digging bird nests, he sat beside them and read comic books.

Now that I have grown up, I have become more calm.

After a while,

Wu Taoyao also started writing, lowering her head and holding the pen to write on the paper, but after writing for a while, she would look up, looking around, left and right.

When she noticed Wu Youde's gaze, she looked up and smiled at Wu Youde, then raised her hand and said that she was a little thirsty and wanted to drink tea.

Wu Youde waved his hand and she ran out smiling.

This girl has a very lively personality, but her personality is different from Wu Qionghua's.

Wu Qionghua is a big sister with a tough personality. She doesn't like being restricted, dares to think and do, and dares to take her brothers and sisters to do things together. If something goes wrong, she will take the responsibility herself!

Wu Taoyao simply likes to play, likes to enjoy herself, and is a little clever. Just like her mother Qiao Yue, she also likes to act coquettishly and cutely with Wu Youde.

Wu Youde really liked this clever girl.

It didn't matter that Wu Taoyao ran out. Soon, some people raised their hands and said they were thirsty, or they wanted to go to the toilet, and some were hungry.

Hungry?

Wu Youde's face suddenly darkened, and he frowned at Wu Qingyuan and angrily said, "If you are hungry, hold it in and eat after you finish. If you don't write seriously, you won't have lunch at noon."

"..."

Wu Qingyuan shrank his neck, chuckled and said nothing.

This is the son of Li Hongli, the seventh child in the Wu family. Like his mother, this guy loves to wield swords and sticks since he was a child. Climbing trees to rob bird nests and going to the river to catch crabs are all piece of cake for him.

Besides loving to play and make noises, the only thing he loves is eating.

He is not picky about food, and he doesn't just like to eat meat. He likes to eat everything, as long as it is edible, no matter whether it is meat or vegetables, whether it is steamed buns or rice, or even fruits.

He accepted everything and ate it all.

This eating habit is quite good, so he became a little fat boy. He has been fat since he was young and he is still fat now that he grows up.

to this end,

Wu Youde often reminded him to control his food intake, saying that eating too much was not good for the body.

But every time this kid shouts he’s hungry, he’s really hungry.

When you are hungry, you have to let people eat. It’s not like the family can’t afford food…

resignedly,

Wu Youde urged him to practice martial arts. This guy did not resist and learned it very enthusiastically. In his words, after learning martial arts, he would be able to beat anyone when he went out in the future and no one would dare to provoke him.

This made Wu Youde both angry and amused...

So they gave him tasks, such as how long he had to practice martial arts every day, how many times he had to punch, how many times he had to swing the sword, etc.

Over time,

All the fat on his body turned into tendon meat, making him strong and sturdy.

Wu Youde retracted his gaze and waved his hand, "Qionghua, Luyi, Qinghe, Jinyu, you guys go and come back quickly."

Wu Qingyuan, Wu Yifeng, Bai Chengyu, Wu Chenliang, Wu Taoyuan, Wu Jingzhi and others were speechless about their father's behavior of only allowing his older sisters to go out for some fresh air.

But there is nothing we can do...

There's nothing we can do about it, since they are all men.

My father has always favored girls over boys since I was a child. If Wu Taoyao did the same thing, at most she would be lectured, but if she did it herself, she would be punished by standing, kneeling, practicing martial arts, and not being allowed to eat.

How unfair...

Wu Qingyuan turned his head to look at Wu Jingzhi next to him. Wu Jingzhi curled his lips at him and turned back to write his own work.

You want me to be the first to come forward?

No way!

Wu Qingyuan sighed, and continued to think over the table, pondering the love story of Xiao Li and Xiao Lin. What can we see from this?

Can I find a girlfriend through the Internet in the future?

Or does dad want me to have more access to the Internet?

But chatting is so boring, with you talking back and forth. If you spend that time on chatting, you might as well play Minesweeper, which is more fun!

……

As time goes by,

Wu Taoyao, Wu Qionghua and others who had gone out for some fresh air came back one after another, and the flower hall gradually returned to silence.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

Wu Qionghua handed in his paper first, Wu Qingyuan second, and Wu Taoyao third...

On the contrary, Wu Chenxing, who was the first to start writing, stood up and handed in his paper after half of the others had handed in theirs.

Handing in the paper does not mean the end of this monthly exam, it only means half of it is done.

"It's all gone."

Wu Youde waved his hand, and the group of children dispersed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

After dinner that day,

Outside Wu Youde's study, a group of children gathered again. They were sitting, standing or lying in the yard. Some were reading, some were chatting, and some were playing games.

Laughing and having fun.

In the study,

Wu Youde was sitting beside the tea table, tea was brewing on the table, incense was lit in the room, the atmosphere was quiet and the fragrance was lingering.

"Qionghua, where did this idea come from? Why did you think of this?"

Wu Youde looked at his eldest daughter who was sitting opposite him and asked with a smile. While speaking, he personally poured a cup of tea for her.

"Thank you dad~"

Wu Qionghua took it with a smile, and then said: "I often chat online recently. The Internet is really magical. People who don't know each other and are far away can still talk to each other."

"Another thing is that when facing a very special stranger, you can be carefree and say whatever you want, without worrying about what will happen if the other person finds out."

“So I thought…”

"Is this addictive? Because chatting online is so fun, I can't help but want to chat on it every day, let alone other people."

"Dad, do you also think what I said makes sense?"

Wu Youde smiled and nodded.

The eldest daughter wrote that through this incident, she saw that in the future more and more people would go online and experience online dating. She felt that for some people, this would become an addiction.

All I think about every day is chatting online. I don't do anything in the real world. I don't study or work.

She thinks this is not good!

As a person who has experienced this, Wu Youde certainly knows all this, it’s internet addiction!

Chat software has just come out, and large-scale stand-alone games have not yet appeared. Currently, there are only a few pre-installed games in Pangu Computer's Hongmeng system.

Solitaire, Minesweeper, Connect the Dots.

That's it.

If large-scale crash-prone games and online games come out, the number of Internet addicts will increase exponentially...

Seeing him nod, Wu Qionghua's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Dad, you think what I said makes sense, right?"

"Well, that makes sense."

Wu Youde smiled and gave a positive response.

After a pause, he smiled and said, "The addiction you mentioned does exist. I call it Internet addiction. The Internet can bring convenience and entertainment to humans, but it can also wear down people's minds."

"It's really good that you can see this kind of trend now. It surprises me!"

"It means you used your brain today!"

Wu Qionghua pouted her lips with a smile and said angrily, "Dad, what are you talking about? When did I just do it perfunctorily in the monthly exam? I always wrote it seriously!"

"Ah."

Wu Youde smiled and nodded, "Not bad, keep it up."

Wu Qionghua rolled his eyes and asked again, "Dad, is there no way to avoid this kind of Internet addiction? This is the disadvantage of the Internet."

"No."

Wu Youde shook his head. "It's just the beginning. The current Internet is still very barren, a desert. The Internet will gradually prosper in the future, just like Kowloon today."

"By that time, the disadvantages of the Internet will increase, and almost everyone who goes online will be affected by it. This is inevitable!"

"Since we enjoy the convenience and happiness, we must naturally bear its drawbacks..."

Wu Qionghua frowned and thought for a moment, "Dad, this is what you said, everything has two sides, right?"

"Ah."

Wu Youde smiled and nodded. This eldest girl was actually very smart, but she often used things in the wrong places.

immediately,

He changed the subject and said with a smile: "Qionghua, you will be 20 next year. What are your thoughts on the future?"
