Chapter 246: Aunt, am I really a fool?

After seeing Chen Ping off, Lin Chuxia took advantage of the fact that no one was at home and put some more spiritual spring water into the water tank.

Because of Qin's father's physical condition, whenever it was convenient, Lin Chuxia would quietly put some spiritual spring water into the water tank to regulate Qin's father's body.

Over the past year, Qin's father and mother have indeed been in good health.

She drinks spiritual spring water on a regular basis and knows its effects best.

When I fought with those gangsters yesterday, the strength and skills I showed were even better than when I fought with Jia Liang and his gang a year ago.

There was a noise in the yard. It was Qin's mother who came back with Xiao Zhuangzhuang.

When Qin's mother saw that Chen Gongan had left, she asked a few questions casually and went to the backyard to feed the chickens.

Xiao Zhuangzhuang was left alone in the yard, with red eyes and a pouty mouth.

I was so happy when I went out just now.

"What's going on?"

Lin Chuxia likes children. Zhuangzhuang is strong and lovable. She really loves her nephew.

Zhuangzhuang didn't treat Lin Chuxia as an outsider either. He pouted and complained, "Niuniu and I were having fun just now, but Tiedan came over and took Niuniu away. He said he would go to primary school in two months, but he could count to 20 before he even started school. He said he was a child prodigy and that I couldn't count and was too stupid. He wouldn't let Niuniu play with me, and he also said stupidity is contagious, and Niuniu would infect me with stupidity if she continued to play with me."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Chuxia again, "Aunt, am I really an idiot?"

Lin Chuxia didn't answer but asked, "Does Zhuangzhuang think he's stupid?"

"I'm not stupid. My parents and grandma all say that I'm the smartest. Grandpa also says that I'm as smart as my uncle."

"Isn't that right? Little auntie tells you that stupidity is not necessarily contagious, but intelligence is inherited. Your uncle is so smart, and your father and he are brothers, so you must have the smart gene too."

When Zhuangzhuang heard this, his face suddenly lit up, "Then can I also go to college like my uncle?"

"Of course," Lin Chuxia nodded without hesitation.

Zhuangzhuang was happy for a while, but then his face fell again, "But I can't even count to 20, how can I get into college?"

Lin Chuxia knew that the little guy had suffered a setback today. If he didn't think it through, this hurdle would remain in his heart for a long time.

Reaching out and taking his little body into her arms, stroking his chubby little arms, Lin Chuxia gently reasoned with him.

"Counting to 20 is nothing. It's just that no one taught you. People can't be born knowing everything. If that's the case, why go to school? Tiedan must have been taught by someone to count to 20. So, auntie will teach you to count now. Let's not just count to 20, how about counting to 100? Do you have confidence?"

Xiao Zhuangzhuang's eyes suddenly widened and he nodded vigorously, "Yeah, I have confidence."

Zhuangzhuang is five years old this year and is usually taken care of by Qin's father and mother.

Qin's father was busy with work in the fields and Qin's mother was illiterate. In the final analysis, it was because Qin Han and his wife were busy with the bun shop that they neglected Zhuangzhuang's education.

Zhuangzhuang is a smart and clever child, and Lin Chuxia doesn't want the little guy to have any psychological trauma because of this.

I happened to have nothing to do today, so I just took out some paper and pen and taught Zhuangzhuang how to recognize numbers.

When Qin's mother came back from feeding the chickens and picking vegetables, she saw two people, one big and one small, under a big tree, counting something seriously.

Lin Chuxia recited a sentence and Zhuangzhuang followed suit. When I got closer, I could hear that he was counting.

Zhuangzhuang studied very seriously. After counting to 29, Lin Chuxia reminded him, and he could immediately count numbers above 30.

When it reached 39, Lin Chuxia reminded him again, and he continued to count numbers above 40. When it reached 49, this time without Lin Chuxia's reminder, he started counting 50, 51, 52...

After counting to 99, Lin Chuxia clapped her hands with a smile, "100, Zhuangzhuang, you are amazing. Your aunt only taught you once, and you can count to 100. You are really a little genius."

Zhuangzhuang widened his eyes in disbelief, "Is counting so easy?"

"Counting is not necessarily easy, but it is easy for Zhuangzhuang, right? So Zhuangzhuang is definitely not stupid."

Zhuangzhuang nodded in agreement, "Tiedan can't count to 20, but he still calls himself a genius. I'll go find Tiedan and compete with him in counting to see who is the idiot."

"Well, sure. We not only need to be able to count, but also to write. Auntie will teach you how to write now, okay?"

"Okay, I want to learn."

He wants to secretly learn how to count and write numbers to amaze all his friends.

Lin Chuxia first wrote down the numbers from 1 to 10 to teach him to recognize them, and then held his little hand and began to write.

Although his handwriting was crooked, Zhuangzhuang learned quickly and could write it in a short while.

Lin Chuxia had already expected this result.

Yuanbao will become smarter than ordinary dogs after drinking the spiritual spring water. Zhuangzhuang usually eats and drinks with Qin's father and mother.

It’s just that the concentration of the spiritual spring water in the water tank is low, so the effect may not be so obvious.

Mother Qin stood by and watched for a long time before she smiled and sighed, "Xia Xia, since you like children so much, you should consider having one with Yang Yang. Then I will help you take care of the child."

She already knew that Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang were using contraception as they had not gotten pregnant yet. She understood that Lin Chuxia was too busy with her business to have children, so she still hoped that they could have a child sooner rather than later.

Lin Chuxia looked at Xiao Zhuangzhuang writing seriously, smiled and nodded, "Mom, we will consider it."

She really doesn't have so many concerns about having children now.

Counting the days, Jia Yuanliang had been gone for more than a week. If she didn't go to the northwest, she would miss the opening of Jia Yuanliang's bun shop.

…………………………

In the city, Jia Liang came back from outside and the workers were already busy.

Their steamed bun shops all have a unified decoration style. Jia Liang makes sure that the shops decorated by the workers are the same as on the blueprints, and he comes to the shops almost every day to keep an eye on them.

After looking around, he didn't see the person he was looking for, so he called over to Feng Zhong who was busy at the side, "Where's Zhuzi?"

After Feng Zhong and Tian Jinzhu came here, they stayed in the hotel with him.

They had just arrived in the city and had not found a place to stay yet, so they said they would live in the bun shop so they could keep an eye on the workers and the progress of the project at any time, and also learn more from Jia Liang.

Tian Jinzhu had always been out of tune before, but after hearing what he said, Jia Liang suddenly felt like his child had grown up and become sensible, so he agreed.

Feng Zhong put down the work in his hands and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Someone came to see him just now. It seemed like he had something urgent to do. He went back to his room, got a bag and left. I asked him but he didn't tell me. He just said he was going back to Ancheng."

"Back to Ancheng? Something happened at home?"

Tian Jinzhu is also from Ancheng, but what could his family do to him? If not his family, who else could it be?

Feng Zhong shook his head, "I don't know."

"Okay, I got it," Jia Liang waved his hand and quickly called Feng Zhong, "By the way, did he tell me when the wood would arrive before he left?"
