He knows how to infuriate people.
He deliberately left the rest of his sentence unfinished and then turned and ran away.
"Hey! This little brat." He's quite cute, but why does he speak like ice crystals?
Of course, the group was just puzzled, and none of them took Sui Sui's harsh words to heart.
These days, mastering abacus calculation is much more useful than mastering math, physics, and chemistry.
If you're good at planning, it's easier to find a job.
Therefore, the prestige of abacus competitions is self-evident.
I heard that there are over a thousand participants in the youth group alone this time, making the competition extremely fierce.
Unless she gets in through connections, a baby like her wouldn't even be able to pass the initial screening.
Sui Sui, who ran away after making those harsh words, was clearly aware of this as well.
The little fist clenched and unclenched repeatedly.
If only he had known, he should have joined the abacus group like his sister.
With him by her side, her younger sister wasn't so scared anymore.
With this feeling, Sui Sui was listless all day long.
The first person to notice that something was wrong with him was Jiang Si. Usually, when he came back from the Children's Palace, he couldn't help but share with his family what he had learned at school that day, or how many chess pieces he had lost to his deskmate.
But today is unusually quiet.
She would occasionally speak, but she would always ask the same question: "Mom, when is my sister coming back?"
"It should be soon. Your father has already gone to Uncle Zhuo's house to pick her up."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of a key turning came from outside the door.
Sui Sui's movements were so fast that they were almost blurry. When the door opened, he saw his younger sister smiling with her eyes crinkled, and he immediately bent down, picked up her little cotton slippers, and squatted down.
"Little sister, quickly change your shoes."
These are all part of the siblings' daily routine, and Zhao Zhao is already used to them.
"Thank you, brother."
Are you tired today?
As they were talking, Sui Sui had already taken the little abacus from her younger sister's arms.
Then she pulled her younger sister to the living room, where she poured water and washed apples.
Completely forgetting that Huo Tingzhou was standing at the door, waiting for his son to help him get his slippers.
With no other option, Huo Tingzhou had to change into it himself.
"What's wrong with him?" Huo Tingzhou asked, puzzled, as he went into the kitchen.
When he comes home, even if his son forgets to bring him slippers, he will immediately call out "Dad!"
I didn't even give him a glance today!
Huo Tingzhou even reflected on the spot, wondering if he had done something wrong recently and neglected his son.
"I don't think so." Jiang Si glanced at the brother and sister in the living room. "He was fine when I took him to the Children's Palace this morning, but he's like this now that he's back."
She paused for a moment, then added, "I was just about to ask him when you all came back."
The siblings' conversation continued at this moment.
Zhao Zhao shook her head and said she wasn't tired.
Then, with a terrifyingly strong expression, she said, "Brother, Uncle Zhuo taught me multiplication today. Quickly give me a test!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingzhou quickly interrupted, "Zhaozhao, come wash your hands and eat first. You've been studying all day; your brain needs a rest too."
When I went to pick her up from the Zhuo family, she refused to leave.
Sui Sui was also worried that her younger sister was working too hard and that her body wouldn't be able to handle it. "Let's eat first. After you've eaten, your brother will test you, okay?"
Zhao Zhao is an obedient and good child. Upon hearing this, she immediately went to wash her little hands.
When I sat down at the table, there was already a bowl of rice piled high in front of me.
Rice is served every year.
Not only did he serve rice to his younger sister, but throughout the entire meal, he kept putting her favorite dishes on her plate.
Their attentive attitude made even Zhao Zhao realize something was wrong.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Zhao felt that her brother was being a little too nice to her today!
Sui Sui lowered her head, rummaged through the rice in her bowl, and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, you eat quickly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou exchanged a glance.
After dinner, Jiang Si took Zhao Zhao to take a bath.
Huo Tingzhou went to Sui Sui's room, and the father and son had a conversation that was typical of men.
No matter how smart Sui Sui is, she's still just a child. Her heart was completely opened up by her father's few words of coaxing.
He was worried that his sister would be sad if she couldn't answer the question.
He was also worried that others would laugh at his sister.
After understanding the whole story, Huo Tingzhou patted his son's head.
"My sister enjoys the process. She doesn't care what others say or whether she wins or loses."
"And you made a very good point."
Upon hearing this, Sui Sui raised her head.
Huo Tingzhou said, "It's amazing that my sister has the ideas and courage to challenge herself at this age!"
While affirming his daughter, Huo Tingzhou also praised his son.
"You were great too. You bravely stood up for your sister today. You're a responsible and good older brother!"
Sui Sui blushed as she was praised, "Dad, I will try my best."
He wants to strive to become stronger and follow in his sister's footsteps!
At this time, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou were unaware of this.
A fierce competition between the brother and sister has quietly begun.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the day before the competition—
