209 Ten Thousand Whys Chenchen
The children had been playing in the yard for so long, Su Taotao was worried that they would get heat stroke, so she used a clay pot to cook some mung bean and kelp soup, and asked Fu Yuanhang to watch the fire while she went upstairs to rest for a while.
When she came down from her nap, the sun had already set.
Only Chenchen and Fu Yuanhang were left in the yard. Chenchen squatted on one side and muttered something in a low voice. I don't know what he was doing.
"Sister-in-law, Mumu and Dongdong have gone back. We all drank some mung bean soup, and I gave you a bowl of cold soup. Do you want to drink it now?"
Su Taotao touched Fu Yuanhang's head: "Thank you, Xiaohang, I am indeed a little hungry, I will go drink it now."
"Chenchen, what are you doing?" Su Taotao asked.
The child turned around and said: "Counting ants~~ Ants are moving~~"
After answering, he turned back again: "Oh no~~ Wrong, wrong~~ They are exactly the same~~ I don't know which one I counted~~"
Su Taotao: "..." Well, it's my fault as an old mother.
After drinking the mung bean soup, Su Taotao started to cook dinner.
Today, I bought fresh duck from the town, and Su Taotao planned to use it to make a three-cup duck.
After blanching the duck, start frying the sugar color. After the sugar color is fried, put the duck into the pot and stir-fry until the surface of the duck skin is slightly browned, then add more young ginger slices, add a cup of soy sauce, a cup of wine, pour in boiling water to cover the duck and simmer until cooked.
The so-called three cups duck is actually just sugar, soy sauce and wine.
In fact, the raw materials these days are good, as long as they are not mixed like Aunt Zhong, the white-cut ones are especially delicious.
Fu Yuanhang has been helping on the side, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva at the aroma.
When the duck meat was bubbling in the clay pot, Su Taotao couldn't help but sneak behind Chenchen to watch him count ants.
Chenchen has a good concentration. When he is doing something seriously, he usually won't be distracted. He didn't even notice Su Taotao walking behind him.
The child used his chubby little hands to count the ants one by one: "Five hundred and one, five hundred and two, five hundred and three~~"
Su Taotao: "..."
The child is really amazing. He is very good at summarizing the rules. After teaching him the theory, he knows how to apply it to other situations.
Su Taotao thinks it is time to teach him pinyin and recognize words. After recognizing words, he can start reading books.
Such a child with photographic memory and excellent memory will read widely and soar in the ocean of knowledge. No matter what field he serves in the future, he will benefit that field like Fu Zhengtu.
But at the same time, she is worried that this will deprive him of his childhood too early. Seeing that he is so happy squatting on the ground counting ants, Su Taotao really hopes that he can have a happy childhood like ordinary children.
What if I teach him to read too early, will he be so absorbed in books that he loses interest in other things?
Or if he learns all the knowledge at home, will he dislike going to school and not get to know other children of the same age?
Educating children is really a great subject. As an old mother, Su Taotao is worried and conflicted. She should first see what Chen Chen thinks, and then wait for Fu Zhengtu to come back and listen to his opinion.
Su Taotao looked at the time. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening. It was not completely dark yet, but the light was not very good.
Su Taotao walked to the opposite side of Chenchen and squatted down: "It's already very late, let's not disturb the ants from moving, okay?"
Chenchen looked up and saw layers of fire clouds hanging in the sky: "Ah~~ It's so late~~ Mom~~ What should we do if the ants can't finish moving after dark~~"
Su Taotao said: "It doesn't matter, they will be busy until they finish moving. Although each ant looks the same, they are actually different ants. They will work together and won't get tired."
Su Taotao didn't know if it was true, but it was theoretically true.
She put a grain of rice in her hand from the kitchen in front of the ant.
Immediately, several ants came forward, and one ant at a time, working together, they lifted the rice grains away in an instant.
"Wow~~" Chenchen clapped his little paws, "They are so timid~~"
Su Taotao touched the child's head:
"This is the power of teamwork. One ant cannot move something, but several ants or a group of ants can lift something that is much larger than themselves. This is why there is a saying that ants move elephants."
Chenchen had seen elephants in the zoo, and when he compared the small size of the ants, he was very shocked. He nodded and said he understood:
"Then mom~~ where do they move things~~"
Su Taotao said: "Chenchen, did you see the scorching clouds in the sky? This is also a signal from nature that it may rain soon.
The little elves in nature are very smart, The ants may sense that their nests are too low and in danger of being flooded by rain, so they move their homes to a higher place where they are not exposed to rain, and then store their food there. "
Chenchen was fascinated by what he heard, blinking his big round eyes: "The ants are so smart~~ Mommy, you are so smart too~~ How do you know so much~~"
Su Taotao took the child's little hand and took the opportunity to pull him up: "I read it from a book. Have you seen how many books there are in Daddy's bookcase?"
Chenchen nodded: "Yes~~"
"Mom only knows a very small part of our motherland and the world," Su Taotao pointed to the sky above her head, "and there is also space, the universe, the Milky Way... There are still many mysteries waiting for us to explore and discover."
Su Taotao continued: "When Chenchen was in the village before, he knew that there was a stream in the village with schools of fish swimming in the stream, that rice grows from seedlings, and that hens can lay eggs and then hatch chicks."
"Later, Mom and Dad took Chenchen to the zoo in the city, and Chenchen saw many animals he had never seen before."
"Later, when Chenchen came here, he discovered that the ocean was so big and blue, that there were seagulls flying over the sea, that he recognized many kinds of seafood, and that conches could hear the sound of waves.
He just saw ants moving."
Chenchen was fascinated by what he heard. Su Taotao continued,
"Later, Chenchen followed his parents to the capital, where he learned about elevators, sprinkler trucks, and Tiananmen Square. He also ate roast duck and fried soybean noodles that he had never eaten before, and smelled stinky soy milk, etc., right?"
Chenchen nodded thoughtfully.
"These are just a small and insignificant part of the ocean of knowledge. We can only learn about places we cannot go to from books. This is the importance of reading and recognizing words."
"Dad, Mom, and Uncle know a little more than Chenchen. In addition to walking more roads, they have also read more books."
Hearing this, Chenchen was very distressed. He pointed his finger at her and drooped his head: "But Mommy Su~~Chenchen doesn't know words~~I can't understand books~~"
In fact, not only Chenchen, but also Fu Yuanhang, benefited a lot from listening to Su Taotao's words.
He knows a lot of words, but he has not read many books. He plans to read more books in the future.
Su Taotao looked at the two children who were so well-behaved, and she didn't know whether she should say such a thing.
She picked up Chenchen and kissed his cheek: "It's okay, Chenchen is still young, he can do whatever he likes, and it's okay to learn to read and write a little later."
Chenchen shook his head:
"But Mommy~~
I still want to know why ants move~~
why the clouds in the sky turn red~~
why conch can hear the sound of waves~~
can grandpa not have to guard the lighthouse~~
can a fish be replaced to help him guard it~~
let grandpa go home~~
..."
Fu Yuanhang thought that his knowledge reserve was too shallow, and he couldn't even think of these questions, so he walked back to the kitchen silently.
Su Taotao: "..."
Su Taotao looked at the dust of ten thousand whys, she regretted it, she was so mediocre, why did she say these to such a smart kid!
