"You continue teaching your sister, pfft! Don't worry about me. Cough! I'm going to wash the vegetables, I'll cook something delicious for you guys in a bit."
Grandma Wang quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and hid in the kitchen. She knew that if she continued to cause trouble there, her grandson would probably just quit.
“…Watch me count for you this time, 1, 2, 3, 4…10, see? That’s how you count. Only by adding your fingers like this can you count.” Wang Gousheng looked at Sisi seriously, hoping she would understand what he meant.
"...What does that mean?" Ye Si looked at Wang Gousheng's left and right hands, then at her own, and felt that these aliens were a bit strange. Why did they like to wave their fingers so much for no reason? And they even gave each of them a name.
“...It’s for arithmetic. For example, if you are one person, then including me, you are two people.” Wang Gousheng pressed his temples, pointed at Sisi and raised one index finger, then pointed back and forth between Sisi and himself, raising his index and middle fingers.
"Two? Isn't it...2?" Sisi frowned as she looked at Wang Gousheng, completely confused. One minute he said the middle finger was 2, the next he said the index finger and middle finger together were 2, and now he said the index finger and middle finger together were 2. How was it pronounced? Why were there so many ways to pronounce it?
"...Two means 2!!!" Wang Gousheng was furious. He really wanted to strangle Sisi right now.
"What are you yelling about!" Sisi rolled her eyes at Wang Gousheng, turned around, and ignored him.
"..." Wang Gousheng took a deep breath and decided to ignore this silly girl. He turned around and went back to the inner room to continue reading.
Although Ye Si didn't understand why aliens liked to play with their fingers, she still tried her best to fit in.
Coconut began to examine the fingers carefully. There were ten fingers in total, and each of them had a name. There was also one, no, two fingers that had two names.
Coconut felt that Wang Gousheng had missed something. Since the right index and middle fingers are called both 2 and two, then the left index and middle fingers cannot only be called 7, right?
The diligent and studious Ye Si got off the kang (heated brick bed), put on her shoes, and went into the inner room to continue asking Wang Gousheng about another name for 7.
"Get out!!!!!"
Grandma Wang, who was cooking in the kitchen, was startled by her grandson's angry roar. She had never seen her grandson so angry before.
Wang Gousheng never cried or laughed from a young age, and he rarely responded to his family's attempts to amuse him.
Grandma Wang was pleased that Mei Si could provoke her grandson's temper; children need to have some energy.
But it seems I've gotten too angry.
"What's wrong? Gousheng, you can't yell at your little sister like that, what if you scare her?" Grandma Wang quickly went into the house, hugged Sisi, and stroked her fur, afraid that the child would be frightened.
Grandma Wang underestimated Bu Yaoren's courage. How could Ye Si be frightened by Wang Gousheng, who was as thin as a tree branch?
Coconut Silk felt provoked and decided to teach Wang Gousheng a lesson.
Grandma Wang hugged Sisi and comforted her for a long time, but when she didn't hear Sisi crying, she felt a little strange.
Grandma Wang let go of Sisi and looked down, only to find that the child hadn't shed a single tear and didn't seem frightened at all.
"Sisi is so brave! Grandma Wang will teach your brother Gousheng a lesson right now. Gousheng, what's wrong with you? How can you scare your sister like that as her brother?" Although Grandma Wang couldn't understand why Sisi was so brave, it didn't stop her from praising her courage.
Wang Gousheng regretted it as soon as he shouted at Sisi. How could he, a grown man, argue with a little girl?
Is it because his life has become too peaceful that he's lost control of his emotions? That won't do; he needs to change!
"It was my fault, I won't do it again."
"Sisi is fine, so let it go this time. Gousheng, you need to be kinder to your little sister. She's still young and doesn't understand anything." Seeing how sensible her grandson was, Grandma Wang decided not to say anything more.
"Um."
"If you don't like teaching, then don't teach. You can read your book! I'll watch Sisi." Grandma Wang felt that it might have been a mistake for her to let her grandson teach Sisi to count. No matter how mature her grandson usually seemed, he was only 2 years old. He himself was still a child. How could he have the patience to teach another even younger child?
Grandma Wang led Sisi directly to the main room, no longer disturbing her grandson while he was reading.
Coconut actually wanted to duel with Wang Gousheng right now, but Grandma Wang was there, which prevented her from making a move.
I discovered this when I was at my grandma's house. People here would stop others from dueling, regardless of why they were dueling.
Coconut doesn't like being disturbed when she's dueling, so she decides to challenge Wang Gousheng when he's not being watched by any adults.
"Sisi, you're really something, making Gousheng so angry. Now Gousheng won't talk to you anymore, so you can play with this old woman!"
Grandma Wang tapped Sisi's little nose and said.
"If you don't understand anything, just ask me. Don't go looking for your brother Gou Sheng."
Coconut Silk ignored Grandma Wang; all she wanted to do now was fight, and she didn't want to think about anything else for the time being.
Grandma Wang waited for a long time, but Sisi didn't ask any questions. She checked the time and realized it was time to cook.
"You stay here and play quietly. Grandma Wang will go and make you something delicious. Don't bother your brother Gousheng, okay?" Grandma Wang went into the kitchen and started cooking quickly. The ingredients were already prepared and ready to be put into the pot.
Coconut knew that these people needed time to cook, and this time would be perfect for a duel.
Ye Si quickly got off the kang (heated brick bed), pushed open the door, and rushed into the inner room.
"Fight!" Ye Si remembered that the people here called duels "fighting."
