Chapter 399 The Underachiever
Wang Xiaojian said, "Listen carefully, what is three plus two?"
He saw peanuts in the plate, so he took out five peanuts and divided them into three and two.
He asked Xiaobao, "Now it's your turn to tell us."
Xiao Bao tensed up immediately: "I...I..."
They were too young and had never been exposed to arithmetic before. They felt that the unknown was too complicated and mysterious, which made them nervous and speechless.
Da Bao sat up straight and listened attentively.
Wang Xiaojian's vanity was satisfied.
He was often scolded at school, but here he is very successful and everyone admires him.
hey-hey.
He handed two peanuts to Xiaobao and then asked him, "How many peanuts are there?"
Xiao Bao said, "Two."
Wang Xiaojian then handed him three more peanuts: "Here are some peanuts."
Xiao Bao said, "Three."
Wang Xiaojian said, "If you add two peanuts and three peanuts, can you count how many peanuts there are in total?"
After Xiao Bao took the peanuts, he glanced at them a few times, then peeled one open and ate it right away, saying, "Four."
Wang Xiaojian: "..."
"No, no, who told you to eat them? You can't eat peanuts." Wang Xiaojian scratched his head.
He gave Xiaobao five more peanuts: "Now count how many peanuts there are?"
Xiao Bao blinked, then peeled open two more and ate them. He answered crisply, "Three."
Wang Xiaojian: "I already told you not to eat peanuts, you can't eat them."
Xiao Bao asked, "Mom said these peanuts are edible, so why can't we eat them?"
Da Bao nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, peanuts are edible. I love peanuts the most. My mom says peanuts are very nutritious and eating them can help you grow taller."
"I……"
Wang Xiaojian paused for a moment, then said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
He now finally understood why his teacher always looked so troubled when he saw him; it turned out that his teacher was truly exasperated when he answered incorrectly.
Wang Xiaojian decided that when he grows up, he will never become a teacher.
He sat down to prepare to eat with his two babies.
But at that moment, a piece of paper fell out of his schoolbag.
Da Bao immediately noticed the red number 17 on it.
"What is this?" Da Bao asked curiously.
Wang Xiaojian blushed when he saw his test paper: "No, nothing?"
After he finished speaking, he met two pairs of clear eyes.
Wang Xiaojian suddenly realized that they wouldn't understand it, so he coughed and said, "This is a test paper. It says 17 points, which is the score the teacher gave me."
Da Bao asked, "What does 17 points mean?"
Wang Xiaojian started rambling: "It means it's really good. Only the top students in the class can get this result. Others can't."
"Oh, I see."
Da Bao exclaimed admiringly, "So my brother's grades are this good!"
Xiao Bao clapped his hands: "Brother is awesome!"
Wang Xiaojian immediately exclaimed happily, "This is nothing, haha."
After they ate something for a while, the two babies pulled Wang Xiaojian to the yard.
Da Bao pointed to the rabbits in the yard and said, "Look, these are the rabbits we raise. This is the cage that Dad made for us. The cage he made is so beautiful."
Looking at the cage that resembled a house, Wang Xiaojian said enviously, "Uncle Huo is really amazing."
They not only brought them rabbits, but also made cages for them.
Da Bao asked curiously, "Can't your dad make a cage?"
Wang Xiaojian thought for a moment and said, "No."
Anyway, he had never seen his father make anything, so it must have been a very complicated craft.
Wang Xiaojian said, "They wouldn't allow me to raise rabbits either. Your parents are so kind; now they're letting you raise rabbits."
He's a bit older now, but he doesn't have any pets, let alone when he was a child. It would have been absolutely impossible for him to keep animals then.
Actually, he wants to keep some pets now, like big dogs or snakes, but Zhang Weihong would be the first to object.
Of course, he didn't know that if he kept a pet, he definitely wouldn't take good care of it, and in the end, Zhang Weihong would probably be the one to take care of it. That's why Zhang Weihong was so opposed to it.
The two played for a while longer. When it was time for lunch, Shen Zhixia wanted Wang Xiaojian to stay for lunch, but Wang Xiaojian declined.
The two babies saw Wang Xiaojian off, and Zhang Weihong happened to run into them as she went out.
Zhang Weihong immediately became unhappy and said, "Why are you bothering people after school instead of coming home? This is getting more and more outrageous."
Da Bao said, "Aunt Zhang, my brother is very capable, please don't scold him."
When Zhang Weihong heard Da Bao's soft voice, her demeanor changed completely, and she said in a more risqué tone, "How can you be so cute, so chubby?"
After saying that, she pinched Da Bao's cheek.
Xiao Bao said earnestly from the side, "Brother Wang Xiaojian got 17 points, which is a score that only excellent students can achieve. He is really amazing."
Wang Xiaojian almost jumped up, and he quickly blinked repeatedly: "No, stop talking."
Xiao Bao didn't understand any of this. He said, "Why can't we say that my brother is the best? Quickly take out your test paper and show it to Aunt Zhang. Excellent things are worth publicizing. That's what my mom said."
When Wang Xiaojian met Xiaobao's innocent eyes, he instantly felt powerless.
Zhang Weihong gritted her teeth and said, "You got 17 points?"
Wang Xiaojian: "..."
Why didn't you tell me you had an exam?
Zhang Weihong suddenly realized and said, "I was wondering why you didn't go home today. So you only got 17 points on the test, which is why you were hiding somewhere else. I wonder if you were planning to keep it from me forever."
Wang Xiaojian: "..."
After the door closed, Wang Xiaojian's screams could be heard.
Xiao Bao asked, puzzled, "He's so outstanding, why does Aunt Zhang still criticize him?"
After thinking for a while, Da Bao said, "That must be because Aunt Zhang's expectations of him are too high."
"So that's how it is."
When they got back, the two children shared the story with Shen Zhixia. They really didn't understand: "Brother Wang Xiaojian got 17 points. He's so excellent. Why is Aunt Zhang still dissatisfied?"
Shen Zhixia laughed hysterically after hearing this.
However, she also noticed that Wang Xiaojian's grades weren't very good and that he needed to work harder.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhixia looked at the two children and wondered if she should teach them some simple knowledge now.
What if we find out they're also academically weak after they start school?
