Those two young people still wanted to compete with him, unaware that they were already out of the running.
Jiang Chi laughed out loud, clearly in a good mood.
Even her voice softened considerably, "Come on, let's start by counting."
For a top student like him, teaching a child to count from one to ten is a piece of cake.
Half an hour later.
"...Count again, there are nine here, why did you stop counting when you got to seven?"
Chaochao obediently pointed to the row of little dinosaur toys.
"One, two, three, four... seven, seven... one?"
Jiang Chi remained expressionless: "Why is it 'one' again?"
That's strange, how come I can count from one to seven?
Chaochao was also puzzled: "Yes, why is that?"
Jiang Chi took a deep breath and exhaled, composed himself, and picked up the card to patiently explain to the little dumpling: "Look, after seven there are eight and nine, right?"
"The number seven is not the end of the single digits."
Chaochao nodded seriously, then suddenly asked, "Isn't that the Calabash Brothers~ Calabash Brothers~ Seven brothers on one vine~?"
"..." Jiang Chi readily agreed and spouted nonsense, "Actually, there are two more Calabash Brothers, who, like the Sixth Brother, have become invisible, so they haven't been discovered."
"Think about when the seven brothers rescued their grandfather from the demons. Didn't they manage to escape danger by chance several times? That's because the Eighth Brother and the Ninth Brother secretly helped them."
Chaochao stared wide-eyed, leaning back in admiration, her big eyes sparkling with worship. "Brother, you're so amazing! How did you know?"
“Because they told me.” Jiang Chi revealed a mysterious smile. “They might be right next to you. If you forget to include the Eighth and Ninth Brothers when you count, they’ll be sad.”
At this moment, the system viewed Jiang Chi as a charlatan, the kind who could become a birdman just by putting on a white coat.
The naive child was undoubtedly fooled by Jiang Chi's eloquent explanation. Upon hearing the heroic deeds of Eighth and Ninth Brothers, Chaochao sighed with slight bewilderment, "Eighth and Ninth Brothers are so pitiful. They did so many good deeds, but no one remembers them..."
"I know, brother!" After exclaiming, Chaochao started counting the little dinosaurs from the beginning, "One, two, three, five, six, seven..."
When the little dumpling reached seven, it paused for a moment before continuing to count: "Eight, nine."
I finally counted correctly.
If he still couldn't teach it, Jiang Chi felt he would be letting down the graduation certificate in his drawer.
The system set off fireworks in Chaochao's mind to celebrate Chaochao's first successful count to within ten!
Chaochao tilted her head, her mind a jumble of thoughts, a blank look in her clear eyes.
Why do I want to stop counting when I get to seven?
That was just now too. Why is that?
Chaochao frowned slightly as she pondered, but before she could figure it out in half a minute, she immediately gave up.
The little dumpling, sitting on the soft cushion, looked around curiously, its bright eyes blinking with curiosity, and its little hands tentatively touching everything in the air.
"Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother, are you there?"
"Chaochao got it right this time! Don't be sad, I'll tell Daddy, Grandpa, my brothers... and my friends about what you did!"
"You don't need to thank me." Chaochao grinned sweetly, then suddenly remembered something and whispered into the air:
"If you try to sneak a jar of candy from the third drawer of the snack cabinet in the living room downstairs, I'll take it..."
Jiang Chi: "..."
