"This is not your fault. In fact, we are the ones who caused you sisters to quarrel."
Kwong Mei-wan smiled wryly: "We've been arguing for more than just a day or two."
Kuang Meiyu felt guilty and apologized to Er Ya and San Ya, even giving them her favorite earrings.
However, Er Ya and San Ya did not accept the money. San Ya smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. This is not your fault, and you were on my side just now."
“But you’ve been wronged by me while you were in my house. How about this, what pattern do you like? I’ll embroider a handkerchief for you.”
Even if you use the best materials to embroider it, it won't cost much. Er Ya and San Ya won't feel pressured to receive the gift. The main thing is that embroidering it themselves shows more sincerity.
Er Ya looked at her with admiration: "You're so amazing! You can even embroider handkerchiefs by yourself. I can't do that. My mother used to say she would find a female tutor to teach me, but I couldn't sit still, so she didn't let me learn. It's more interesting to learn arithmetic."
Sanya: "Arithmetic is boring. I think making money is more interesting. I want to make a lot of money like my mother in the future."
Yang Cui also learned arithmetic from her children. San Ya disliked studying the most. Every time she read, wrote, or learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, she would look bitter and resentful. San Ya and Yuan Qiu were quite talented in studying and were also very self-disciplined.
“Arithmetic? You mean abacus? I studied it for a while, it was so difficult,” Song Jiarong said.
Er Ya: "No, we didn't learn abacus. It's just arithmetic. We can quickly calculate 26 plus 78 equals 104 without using an abacus."
Song Jiarong and several other girls started counting on their fingers, but they didn't have enough fingers to calculate the exact number.
Kuang Meiyu was quite surprised: "You were able to figure it out so quickly!"
Mo Yalan said irritably, "You planned this all along at home, and you're just here to show off, aren't you?"
Sanya said angrily, "My sister is so good at math! My sister and my brother Qiuqiu never miss a math or word problem that my mother gives us!" Only she often fails.
Kwong Mei-yuk: "What are word problems?"
"Word problems are like this... For example, my family raised 132 chickens. A month later, we bought 187 more chickens. 39 died, 2 were killed, and 12 were given to my uncle. How many chickens do we have left now?"
The girls were shocked!
How can you solve such a complicated problem without an abacus? You couldn't even figure it out by adding up your fingers and toes!
Kuang Meiyu exclaimed in admiration, "Sisi, you're amazing!"
Mo Yalan scoffed, "I don't believe you can figure it out. Country bumpkins are all braggarts! Humph!"
