But to his surprise, Su Xu just arrogantly said, "My son, of course he's smart!"
"Tsk." Liu Nian rolled her eyes. "I thought you had actually discovered something."
Su Xu said, "I found out before that Da Bao is somewhat smart, but I wouldn't call him a child prodigy."
Su Xu used to always give Da Bao a few cents. There were numbers on the money, and Su Xu would point them out to him. Unexpectedly, Da Bao recognized them.
Being able to keep his own money and know exactly how much he had saved gave Su Xu a new perspective.
Unexpectedly, Liu Nian told him today that Da Bao might be a child prodigy.
"What about the other two children?" Su Xu looked at Erbao and Sanbao.
Sanbao is throwing sandbags, Erbao is chasing Sanbao all over the yard, and only Dabao is quietly reading a book.
He would occasionally look up, frown at his noisy younger siblings, shake his head, and complain that they were too noisy.
Liu Nian said, "The other two children, well, they're just ordinary children."
Su Xu put his arm around Liu Nian's shoulder and said, "It's fine, as long as they can grow up healthy."
Zhang Suzhen kept saying she wanted to take her eldest child to school, but in the 1980s, the village kindergartens didn't accept children over three years old.
"The child is still young, it's fine for him to play for a few more years." Liu Nian felt sorry that her child had to be locked in school to study from a young age, losing his childhood.
But Da Bao looked at Liu Nian with a serious expression and said, "Mom, I think learning is really interesting."
He shook his head again, looked at Erbao and Sanbao and said, "I really don't understand why Erbao likes older girls, and why Sanbao likes punching and kicking. I think reading books is more fun."
What else could Liu Nian say? The son had already said that he loved learning and that learning was more interesting than playing.
"Let's get ready, Mom will take you to kindergarten in a few days!" Liu Nian rubbed Da Bao's little face, and Da Bao smiled with his lips pursed.
The news that Da Bao was a child prodigy spread, and Yang's wife was very upset when she heard it.
I don't know if the Yang family is cursed, but they have only had one son for generations. She tried for several years and finally had Yang Peng, their only child. After that, she never got pregnant again.
Therefore, Yang Peng was given high expectations. Other people's children are child prodigies, so his child must be one too!
This Mrs. Yang is quite ruthless. Before dawn, she dragged the child out of bed and said, "Sweetie, let's get up. Mommy will teach you to read!"
“Da Bao already knows so many words, you can’t fall behind him.”
Yang's wife had some complaints about Liu Nian because Liu Nian was able to give birth to three children at once, while she had struggled to keep Yang Peng alive. Liu Nian couldn't compete in quantity, but Liu Nian's quality must have surpassed theirs.
Yang Peng could barely open his eyes. He rubbed them and whimpered as he tried to get into bed, but his wife slapped him on the back and said, "Get up right now! You're so spoiled!"
Yang Peng, with red eyes and sobbing, was still dragged out of bed by his wife.
"It's been chaotic since the beginning of the morning. Can't you just shut up for a bit?" Yang Dazhi muttered as he rolled over. "Don't you even know what your kid is made of? We didn't even finish elementary school together, and you expect him to be a prodigy? That's ridiculous."
Sister Yang glared at him, "What's wrong? Why is my child dying? Shut up!"
Under the intense supervision of Sister Yang, Yang Peng learned to recognize a few characters.
Then she started showing off, taking Yang Peng around the village and saying, "I don't know who Yang Peng took after, but neither Dazhi nor I like to study, but Pengpeng loves to study."
Yang Peng said, feeling aggrieved, "I don't like studying; you're the one who forced me to."
As a result, he got a slap from Aunt Yang. "What nonsense are you talking about? Come here, Pengpeng, tell your aunties which characters you've learned?"
Liu Nian and Da Bao also looked over.
