At that time, it was not like later when cardboard boxes were everywhere. Feng Guizhi thought for a while before she thought of something that matched what the kids had said - the shape of shoes.
A thing specially used for making shoes, it can be made in just the right thickness.
Thinking that there were two children at home, Feng Guizhi didn't feel sorry for this one. She went back to the house to find it and gave it to the younger ones.
Yuanbao, Wenjie, and the others were delighted when they saw it: "That's fine, thank you grandma~!"
"You're so nice, hehe."
The little ones were delighted and surrounded Feng Guizhi, saying nice things to her, their little mouths as sweet as honey. Feng Guizhi smiled and said, "Okay, I've given you the food. Go play, and I'll go cook."
Yuanbao nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "Grandma, we'll show you something really...really amazing later. We can't show you anything now, I'll call you when it's ready."
"Yes, yes. Okay, we'll call you again." Wenjie, Yunduo and the others also agreed.
Feng Guizhi smiled and shook her head: "Okay, wait for me."
Seeing Feng Guizhi enter the kitchen, the children took the shoe pattern and cut it in half with scissors. This way, two people could practice together instead of waiting for just one person.
Soon everything was ready, and the children began to practice enthusiastically. One by one, everyone got a turn, even Baoya.
They kept practicing until dinner time, but the little ones still hadn't succeeded. Only Bowen and Boyu managed to hold on for two seconds longer. However, with their previous successes, the little ones didn't feel discouraged and kept trying.
"Bowen, Yunduo, what are you guys doing gathered together? Hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner." Chen Xiuxiu came out of the kitchen with the dishes and shouted when she saw a few children gathered together by the well.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, the younger ones had to stop.
"Let's stop here for today. There will be plenty of time later, so let's practice slowly." Bowen was afraid that his younger brothers and sisters would feel disappointed, so he comforted them.
"Well! We'll continue tomorrow." Yuanbao said affirmatively, clenching his fists.
The same goes for the other little ones. Now is the time when they are most excited about this. In particular, they feel from the bottom of their hearts that this is amazing, so they are particularly persistent, which just overcomes the depression of not being successful.
"Wash your hands and come inside to eat.
”
The younger ones put down their cups of water, washed their hands, and went into the main room one by one.
Even after dinner, Feng Guizhi hadn't heard the children mention the matter, so she guessed it hadn't been successful yet. She put on a smile, but didn't mention it first.
After getting up the next day, the adults in the family had breakfast and went back to work, but the children did not run outside today, but buried their heads and continued to practice.
Song Jianye went to work with Engineer Deng again, while Feng Guizhi stayed home to take care of Tiantian. Actually, Bowen and Boyu were all home now, so Feng Guizhi felt relieved to leave Tiantian with them. However, thinking that the family didn't need those work points, Feng Guizhi simply stayed home, taking care of Tiantian while also tidying up the house.
Although children from poor families have to grow up early, if she had a choice, Feng Guizhi would rather give her younger sisters more happy time than take care of her younger sisters before she grows up.
Feng Guizhi sat in the main room, a cool mat spread on the floor where Tiantian was happily playing with a toy. She had some free time, so she used some cloth to sew a schoolbag for Yuanbao.
Yuanbao is six years old this year. By September, he will be able to go to school with his brothers Bowen Boyu and others.
The sun was rising higher outside, making the ground hot and soon enough, people were sweating profusely. The area around the well was no longer suitable for them, so the children were forced to move to a shaded corner to continue their practice.
Outside, cicadas chirped incessantly, but the courtyard was peaceful and harmonious. Feng Guizhi's cloth bag was gradually taking shape. She glanced at the sky, figuring it was almost noon and time to make lunch.
She lowered her head to put away her needlework. At this moment, she heard a few children shouting happily from the yard outside: "Success... Success~!"
"Wow, wow, wow, third brother also succeeded."
"Fifth brother, Sixth sister, you should try it too."
"Almost there, almost there, we were just a little bit short, we're almost done!"
"I, I, I... I want to try it too. You all know how to do it, so I have to practice hard too."
Feng Guizhi felt that what they talked about yesterday was about to succeed, and with a smile on her face, she also became happy.
Bowen and Boyu have basically mastered it and have successfully completed two
Three times, but sometimes I still fail. Wenjie and Wenzhi both succeeded once, and Tianen and Yunduo succeeded halfway, holding on for two or three seconds.
So, seeing that his older brothers and sisters were almost able to learn it, Yuanbao became anxious and started practicing quickly.
He thought: Now he and his younger sister, Xiaobao, are the only ones who haven't succeeded. But he's the older brother, and Xiaobao's younger sister is still young. It's understandable that she hasn't learned, but he, as the older brother, can't do that. And what if Xiaobao learns before him? How can he still be a big brother?!
After lunch, in the afternoon, the little ones asked Yuanbao and Baoya to practice, and the others took turns.
Then, after practicing two or three times, Baoya gently loosened her hands and the water in the teacup did not pour out.
"!!!" Yuanbao was shocked and felt greatly hit.
"Wow, Xiaobao sister succeeded!" Yun Duo praised Baoya. "Xiaobao sister, you are so amazing! I haven't even learned it yet."
"Sister Xiaobao is awesome!" Wenjie and Wenzhi gave Baoya a thumbs up in admiration.
"Awesome... Awesome, even better than brother...brother..."
Baoya felt embarrassed by the praise and her little face turned red. I don’t know if it was because of shyness or the sun, but she looked so cute with her red face.
Bowen also praised Baoya. Although he was the first one to learn it, he was much older than Baoya. Baoya, who was only four years old, could do it, which was already better than many people.
Then, he looked at Yuanbao who was hit hard and said with a smile: "Yuanbao, you have to work harder."
Yuanbao's face was wrinkled, as bitter as a bitter melon. He felt that he was not worthy of being Baoya's brother, and he could not compare with Baoya in anything.
After being depressed for two seconds, Yuanbao cheered up again. He thought, although he couldn't compare to Xiaobao, could he be better than Tiantian? He wasn't the worst!
Yuanbao glanced at Tiantian who was sitting on the ground playing, regained his confidence, and continued practicing.
Bowen saw that Yuanbao's expression was a little off, and he was a little worried. Just when he was about to comfort him, he saw that Yuanbao was fine again. The words that were on the tip of his tongue were suddenly stuck in his throat.
Forget it, it seems Yuanbao no longer needs his comfort.
......
"Grandma, grandma, come here quickly, come here quickly." When the sun set in the afternoon, Yuanbao in the yard ran towards the main room while calling Feng Guizhi.
Feng Guizhi wipes off Tiantian
With his hands covered in dust, he responded, "What's wrong?"
"Grandma, come and see, we have something to show you." Yuanbao ran to Feng Guizhi and pulled her to walk out.
"Okay, okay, let me put on Tiantian's shoes first."
After Feng Guizhi helped Tiantian put on her shoes, she took her out. The sun was about to set, and although the temperature was still quite high, it wasn't as hot anymore.
Feng Guizhi followed Yuanbao to the well, and waited for the powerful things they said they would show her.
"Grandma, look at us. We are scooping water from the water tank." Yuanbao said, and together with Wenjie and Yunduo, they filled the water. The three of them performed "No Leakage" for Feng Guizhi.
Feng Guizhi watched quietly. Tiantian, who was next to her, took her hand and leaned on her legs, also watching their performance with her eyes wide open with curiosity.
Cover with paper, flip the cup, and then let go. Except for Yuanbao, who paused for only two seconds before spilling the water, Wenjie and Yunduo both succeeded. However, precisely because of his contrast, it seemed even more realistic and impressive.
This was the first time Feng Guizhi had seen this, and she was really surprised, but after all, she had lived for decades, so her reaction was not too big.
But looking at the expectant eyes of the children, Feng Guizhi was still surprised and said, "This is really strange. This piece of paper can actually stop the water from leaking out?"
"Who did you learn this from? What kind of magic trick is this?"
"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen it. It's really strange."
"This is what Brother Yibei taught us." Although it was successful, but not completely successful, Yuanbao was still very happy. When Feng Guizhi asked, he quickly said, "Hey, this is not a magic trick. Brother Yibei said it's physics knowledge~!"
"Grandma, do you remember the 'atmospheric pressure' we talked about last time? The water didn't leak this time because of the 'atmospheric pressure'." Wenjie also said.
Then the younger ones explained the principle to Feng Guizhi again. They were so excited that they danced with joy.
Feng Guizhi listened with a smile, feeling somewhat relieved. With Shen Yibei around, the enthusiasm for learning among the younger ones was aroused, which was a good thing.
"Grandma, do you think physics is amazing?"
"Brother Yibei also told us about 'gravity'. Do you know what 'gravity' is? It's..."
Feng Guizhi:
"Okay, Xiaobei is amazing, and my grandchildren are amazing too. I'm counting on you to be successful and provide for me in my old age."
"good!"
......
This "watertight" trick alone kept the children entertained for several days. Not only did they perform it for the adults at home, they also performed it for other children in the group, which drew a series of exclamations. Everyone watched with their mouths open and their jaws almost dropped.
"What is this? Yuanbao, what did you do? Why isn't the water leaking out?"
"Is there rice paste stuck on this piece of paper?"
"This is amazing! I want to learn it too! I want to learn it too!"
The little ones all raised their heads, feeling very proud, and deeply felt the benefits of being educated.
After a few happy days, the children went to the back mountain and learned some interesting physics knowledge from Shen Yibei, which made them more interested in physics.
July is over in a flash, and August is still hot as always.
That afternoon, Feng Guizhi had just put the sleeping Tiantian into the inner room. After coming out, she went into the kitchen, where Chen Xiuxiu and Yang Yulan were busy preparing dinner.
When Feng Guizhi saw Yang Yulan, she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten: "Oh, right..."
The author has something to say: Yuanbao raised his head and said confidently: Although I can't compare with sister Xiaobao, I can compare with Tiantian!
