Chapter 257 Difficulties and Help in Learning

Ruan Xiaofeng, the child of Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan, is now in the third grade of primary school. However, he has encountered many difficult problems on the road of learning.

On a quiet night, Ruan Xiaofeng sat at his desk as usual, but his childish face was now full of worry, and the pencil in his hand was scratching randomly on the homework book without any clue. Lin Yanan came over quietly, patted his thin shoulder gently, and asked softly: "Xiaofeng, why do you look so sad?" Ruan Xiaofeng raised his head, his clear eyes were full of distress, and he muttered: "Mom, these math problems are like a chasm that is difficult to cross. I can't do it no matter how hard I think." Lin Yanan leaned over slightly, looked at the questions carefully, and then sat down slowly beside him, with determination and patience in her eyes: "Don't worry, baby, mom will help you to solve these problems."

Lin Yanan picked up a pencil, her expression focused and serious, while explaining, she carefully wrote the steps to solve the problem on the paper. "Xiaofeng, look, for this problem, we have to carefully analyze the conditions given in the problem first." Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, "Here it says that a number multiplied by 5 plus 3 equals 28, so the first step is to subtract the added 3, and then divide the number obtained by 5, and we can calculate this number." But Ruan Xiaofeng's mind was like a naughty little bird, flying away from the homework book from time to time, and his eyes always unconsciously glanced at his favorite toys placed aside. Lin Yanan keenly noticed his little action, frowned slightly, and his voice unconsciously raised a few points: "Xiaofeng, be serious! Don't be distracted when studying!" Ruan Xiaofeng was startled by this sudden severity, his body shook violently, and he quickly retracted his wandering eyes and focused on the homework book again.

Lin Yanan continued to explain patiently, with beads of sweat gradually seeping out of her forehead, but Ruan Xiaofeng was still confused, and his half-understanding made Lin Yanan even more anxious. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and tried to keep her voice gentle: "Come on, Xiaofeng, mom will explain it to you again in detail."

Just then, Ruan Jianan came back from get off work. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Lin Yanan's slightly tired but still patient voice coming from the room. He gently pushed the door open and walked in with steady steps. Seeing Ruan Xiaofeng's listless and absent-minded look, Ruan Jianan walked quickly to his side, stretched out his broad palm, gently touched Ruan Xiaofeng's head, with an encouraging smile on his face, and said: "Son, you can't be careless or slack in your studies." Then, he turned his head and looked at Lin Yanan, his eyes full of understanding and care, "Yanan, don't be too anxious, we have to find a way to stimulate his interest in learning, so that we can solve the problem fundamentally."

On a sunny weekend, Ruan Jianan brought Ruan Xiaofeng to the Science and Technology Museum, which was full of mystery and novelty. As soon as he stepped into the door of the Science and Technology Museum, Ruan Xiaofeng was like a cheerful little bird, deeply attracted by the dazzling variety of novel exhibits in front of him. In an exhibition area simulating space, the bright star models seemed to be flashing mysterious light in the dark. Ruan Jianan pointed at the models, his eyes full of expectation, and said to Ruan Xiaofeng: "Son, do you know? In the vast universe, there are countless amazing mysteries waiting for us to explore and discover. Mathematics and scientific knowledge are like magic keys that can help us open the door to these mysteries." Ruan Xiaofeng's bright eyes were wide open, full of curiosity and yearning, as if he had been immersed in the endless mysteries of the universe.

They came to a physics experiment display stand, where the experimenter was demonstrating an experiment on mechanics. Ruan Jianan seized the opportunity to explain the principle in layman's terms. Ruan Xiaofeng listened attentively and with great interest, blinking his eyes from time to time, and asked curious questions: "Dad, why does the ball roll like this?" Ruan Jianan smiled and patiently answered: "This is because of the force, just like the problems you encounter in your studies, as long as you can find the right method and direction of force, you will be able to solve them."

After coming out of the Science and Technology Museum, Ruan Jianan took Ruan Xiaofeng to a cozy bookstore. In the children's book section, Ruan Jianan carefully selected a children's book about science that was rich in content, vivid and interesting. The father and son found a quiet corner, sat on a comfortable sofa together, and began to immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge. Ruan Xiaofeng leaned obediently in his father's warm arms, pointed at the colorful pictures in the book, and asked curiously: "Dad, what is this?" Ruan Jianan smiled and his eyes were full of love, and replied: "This is a microscope. It allows us to see very small things that cannot be directly observed by the naked eye."

When they returned home with a lot of harvest, Lin Yanan was busy in the kitchen, preparing delicious fruits for the family. Seeing the serious and focused look of the father and son, she couldn't help but reveal a gratified and satisfied smile on her face. "Xiaofeng, did you have fun in the Science and Technology Museum today?" Lin Yanan asked with concern while putting the cut fruits on a plate. Ruan Xiaofeng was so excited that he danced with joy and said loudly: "Mom, it's so fun! I learned so many new knowledge!"

It was time to do homework again. This time, Ruan Xiaofeng was no longer procrastinating and reluctant like before. Instead, he took the initiative to sit down at the desk, focused and thinking seriously about the questions. Lin Yanan came over quietly. Seeing his change, her eyes were full of surprise and praise. She smiled and said, "Xiaofeng is great. You study so seriously and attentively. Mom is so proud of you." Ruan Xiaofeng raised his head, a bright smile on his face, and said, "Mom, I think studying is actually quite interesting now. It doesn't give me a headache like before."

In the following days, Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan worked together to develop a scientific and reasonable study plan for Ruan Xiaofeng. Every day, they would take out their precious time to accompany Ruan Xiaofeng, study together, and make progress together. They no longer just explained the questions monotonously, but made the study more colorful and interesting through various interesting games and vivid experiments.

Once, in order to help Ruan Xiaofeng better understand the concept of multiplication, Lin Yanan used colorful candies as props and cleverly arranged them into different arrays, so that Ruan Xiaofeng could intuitively feel the meaning of multiplication. Ruan Xiaofeng happily tasted the sweet candies while learning knowledge with great interest. The joyful scene was like a warm painting.

Another time, Ruan Jianan brought Ruan Xiaofeng to his yard, and the father and son took a ruler and carefully measured the length and height of various objects. Ruan Xiaofeng was concentrating on operating the ruler, his face flushed with concentration and excitement, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he didn't notice it at all, and was completely immersed in the joy of learning.

With the careful guidance and patient company of his parents, Ruan Xiaofeng gradually overcame the difficulties in his studies and his grades improved significantly. In the final exam, Ruan Xiaofeng ran home like a gust of wind with the report card full of excellent scores, his face flushed with excitement, and he shouted loudly: "Mom and Dad, I got the fifth place in the class!" Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan heard the good news and hugged him tightly in their arms, their faces filled with happiness and pride.

"Son, keep it up! As long as you maintain your strong interest in learning and work hard, you will definitely do even better in the future!" Ruan Jianan said encouragingly.

Ruan Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, with a determined light in his eyes, "I will, Dad!"
