By the second half of 2021, Xiang Nan had mastered the three major types of painting: oil painting, watercolor painting, and gouache painting, and he was very good at painting.

He even painted a watercolor portrait for each of the thirty students in Zhang Xueer's class, which the students and parents liked very much. They even wanted to sign up to learn painting from Xiang Nan.

Because, in June 2021, the Department of Off-campus Education and Training Supervision was formally established, announcing the end of the era of barbaric development of off-campus training institutions.

A large number of off-campus training institutions have closed down, leaving students with nowhere to go.

Therefore, parents want to sign up for interest classes, firstly, so that their children can learn more skills and improve their overall quality; secondly, they also want to find someone to watch their children. After all, the children get out of school at four o'clock, and they feel uneasy without an adult to watch them.

.

Xiang Nan naturally declined politely.

His net worth now exceeds one billion, and he would not be happy if he was allowed to be the king of children again.

Besides, he has already mastered Western painting, and now it’s time to learn other skills. He doesn’t have time to teach his children.

…

After mastering Western painting, Xiang Nan next learned to play musical instruments.

He wants to learn the violin.

Because he has felt since he was a child that people who can play the violin are particularly elegant.

However, the violin is one of the most difficult Western instruments. Although Xiang Nan can already play the flute, pipa, guzheng, piano, and guitar, his musical sense and intonation are very good.

But when I first started playing the violin, it still felt like I was sawing wood, and I couldn't even find the pitch.

Fortunately, they lived in a single-family villa, and fortunately Xiang Nan had the money to install a soundproof piano room for himself. Otherwise, if they lived in an ordinary building, they would have been visited by neighbors after practicing for only two days.

…

"Husband, why do you have to learn the violin?" Zhang Xueer asked with a smile.

In fact, Xiang Nan can already play the piano very well, and he can also play the guitar with style. If he can play these two instruments, he can basically travel all over the world.

"In life, you have to face difficult challenges." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Just because it is difficult, I have to learn even more."

Learning the violin takes a long time. In the real world, he would never waste two or three years just to learn an instrument.

But this is a mission world, and there is plenty of time. He has enough time to do what he likes.

Zhang Xueer nodded. She admired Xiang Nan's spirit of daring to take on difficult challenges.

…

In the second half of 2022, after a year of training, Xiang Nan was finally able to play the violin properly instead of sawing wood.

In the same year, Zhang Xueer finally succeeded in getting pregnant with his baby.

In 2023, Xiang Nan was able to play "Chaconne", "Sonata No. 9", "Capriccio 24" and other pieces recognized as the most difficult violin music, and thus successfully started his studies.

In the same year, Zhang Xueer also successfully gave birth to a baby rabbit.

After discussion between the two, they finally named their son Zhong Ming.

The so-called banquet with bells and cauldrons is a pomp of nobility. Moreover, the warning bells ringing also means people should reflect on themselves.

After the birth of her son, Zhang Xueer began to take maternity leave.

Xiang Nan took the opportunity to ask Zhang Xueer to resign and concentrate on teaching her son at home.

"My son can't live without you, and I can't live without you, so just resign." He suggested tentatively.

"But, there are still so many children waiting for me in the school." Zhang Xueer declined politely.

"Then your son is still waiting for you at home." Xiang Nan advised, "Look how pitiful he is. Can you bear to leave him at home? Don't you care about him?"

"Don't we still have you at home? Besides, we still have my parents and the confinement nanny, so I don't necessarily need to stay." Zhang Xueer waved her hand.

"How can a confinement sister-in-law take your place? Can she care about the child as much as you do?" Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Besides, you know that I am always clumsy. If the child is dropped by me,

, I choked, I caught a cold because of the cold, what should I do?"

"After all, you just want me to stay at home and be a housewife?" Zhang Xueer said angrily.

"What's wrong with being a housewife? With our current wealth, we can enjoy happiness at home. Why do you ask for trouble and have to go out to work?

Are other people's children more important than your own?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion.

It's understandable that they have to go to work in order to make a living. But their family is already very rich. After Xiang Nan's investment, one billion has turned into two billion.

Even in Jiangzhou City, a city full of multi-millionaires, Xiang Nan can be regarded as a figure at the top of the pyramid. He has more money than he can spend in two lifetimes.

"How can you say that? In my opinion, other people's children and my own children are all children." Zhang Xueer said plausibly, "I can teach dozens of children at school, but I can only teach one at home.

My child, can’t you tell which one is more serious?”

"No matter how well you teach those dozens of children, they are still their children. They will only call you [Teacher Zhang], but not [Mom]."

Moreover, if you don’t go to school, other teachers will replace you. However, you are Zhong Ming’s biological mother, can you be replaced? You can’t tell which is more important,” Xiang Nan retorted.

"I am the children's class teacher, and I am the only one who knows them best. If I were another teacher, could I take over my job? But Zhong Ming has you, my grandparents, and my confinement nanny. You can all do my job well."

"Zhang Xueer insisted,

"Zhong Yi, you have forgotten what you told me before. You said that your ideal is to teach and educate people, but now that you have money, you have forgotten all your previous ideals."

"You are really an angel educator~" Xiang Nan couldn't help but sarcastically said.

He neglected his own children in order to educate other children. This kind of behavior was difficult for him to understand.

…

In the following period, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer quarreled several times about work.

Zhang Xueer is not only busy with work at school, but also often visits students' homes, spending very little time with him and his children.

Xiang Nan felt that he and his son were being taken less and less seriously, and his mood was becoming more and more lost.

In order to cheer up and vent his grievances, he bought an adze, chisel, axe, saw, and a large amount of wood, and learned carpentry work at home.

Xiang Nan's uncle used to be a carpenter, building tables, stools, cabinets, beds, etc.

Around the new century, home-made furniture was no longer popular, and wives focused on modular furniture. As a result, his business had to stop, which was a pity.

Xiang Nan still remembered that when he was a child, he made a small car for himself out of wood. It was so fun to pull it up and twist it. So he wanted to learn the carpenter's craft and make it for his son in the future.

Therefore, he invited an old technician to come to his home to teach his craftsmanship.

After less than a year of study, he was already able to make furniture, carve wood carvings, turn beads, and make toys. He often posted his works online. Over time, he became a super Internet celebrity with more than one million fans.
