It was obvious that Yangyang had never learned to write. He grabbed the branch like a door handle and drew a crooked number 6.
"You are so awesome!" Jiang Shiyue praised sincerely. He actually learned it after just one lesson?
"Let's do it again. This time, let's give a difficult one. Seven times six." Jiang Siyue said as he wrote the answer on the ground, missing the corner of Yangyang's lips that flashed up.
Yangyang drew the number slowly, but you could vaguely see that it was 42.
Jiang Shiyue was very surprised and asked a few more test questions. Yangyang actually got all the answers correct.
Jiang Shiyue was so shocked that she didn't know how to praise Yangyang except giving him a thumbs up.
"It seems that this is not difficult for you. How about we try something more difficult?" Although Jiang Shiyue was asking a question, she did not expect Yangyang to answer.
Who knew that Yangyang actually nodded.
Jiang Shiyue had always felt that getting a response from an autistic person was as difficult as winning the lottery. She excitedly hugged Yangyang and kissed his fair, tender face.
Chen Shanhe, who had returned home on time and wanted to take Yangyang to the toilet, watched this scene from afar and almost dropped his jaw in shock! His scrutinizing gaze fell on Jiang Shiyue.
She has really changed!
She had never held Yangyang since she gave birth to him. It was only after he coaxed her with money and clothes that she breastfed him for a while.
Jiang Shiyue didn't notice Chen Shanhe. She was so immersed in the excitement of discovering a little genius that she decided to go all out and taught Yangyang the mental arithmetic formula for multiplying ten by ten.
"Multiply the head by the head, the tail plus the tail, and the tail by the tail. For example, twelve times fourteen. You see, one times one equals one, two plus four equals six, and two times four equals eight. The result is one hundred and sixty-eight. If the sum of the two middle digits exceeds ten, you have to add one every tenth digit..."
Yangyang watched very attentively and listened very seriously.
Jiang Shiyue only explained it once again. After finishing, she looked at Yangyang and said, "Now let's compete again and see who can answer correctly?!"
"I'll come out."
Jiang Shiyue was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around and found that Chen Shanhe had appeared behind her without her knowing.
"It's unfair for you to be both the question setter and the answerer at the same time," Chen Shanhe said. "I'll be your referee."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
I was just teasing the child, and you're taking it so seriously?!
But she didn't say anything and just nodded.
"What is 15 times 17?"
Jiang Shiyue quickly wrote down a number and then looked at Yangyang.
Yangyang still held the branch and "drew" numbers awkwardly. The crooked 255s were "drawn" one by one.
Chen Shanhe glanced at the numbers at Jiang Shiyue's feet, his pupils slightly dilated in surprise.
He had seen Jiang Shiyue's handwriting, which was barely better than a dog's crawl. But these three numbers were very beautiful.
If personality can be changed at will, can handwriting be changed as well?
Jiang Shiyue didn't notice Chen Shanhe's gaze. She just excitedly picked up Yangyang and turned him around twice.
"You're amazing! You're the smartest kid I've ever met!"
"You're such a little genius. At least you're definitely gifted in math! If anyone calls you a little idiot again, you'll beat him up!"
“…”
Compared to Jiang Shiyue's excitement, Chen Shanhe and his son were much more indifferent.
Yangyang still didn't say anything, but his finger flicking gradually stopped when Jiang Shiyue picked him up.
Chen Shanhe was a bit frightened and didn't know how to react. According to Jiang Shiyue's test, Yangyang was not stupid, and seemed to have some talent in mathematics.
But the greater the surprise Yangyang gave him, the deeper the suspicion Jiang Shiyue gave him.
Even Jiang Shiyue surprised him more.
After a while, Chen Shanhe tapped the mental arithmetic formula on the ground with his toes and asked Jiang Shiyue tentatively, "Where did you learn this algorithm?"
Jiang Shiyue immediately realized that the original owner shouldn't be able to do mental arithmetic. She blinked and lied, "I've been thinking about going to college lately. I learned it from someone when I went to the city."
Anyway, the original owner had to go to the city every month, otherwise how would he spend the huge sum of thirty dollars.
Chen Shanhe hesitated and didn't expose her lie.
**
Saturday is finally here.
Jiang Shiyue was hungry, so he packed his clothes and put them on his back, ready to go to the city to find the black market.
The original owner, a top-notch person, hadn't considered returning before running away from home, and hadn't even considered what would happen if he failed. He even replaced all the food on the food register, leaving nothing behind.
Jiang Shiyue sighed and decided to go to the city today to resolve two incidents.
One is food coupons and the other is banknotes.
Jiang Shiyue took the extremely reluctant Yangyang's hand and walked towards the parking spot, coaxing him all the time.
"We agreed that if you answer correctly, I'll treat you to meat. I'll keep my word and take you to a restaurant for a delicious meal."
"You're only three years old. How long will it take you to grow old if you stay at home every day? Children need to go out more often to discover how wicked the world is."
"Don't be like your dad and bore people to death! Boys need to talk more and know how to talk so they can find girlfriends when they grow up!"
“…”
If it were an ordinary autistic child, Jiang Shiyue would not dare to take the child out for fear of an accident.
Autism is a social disorder.
Shan Yangyang is different. He has an extraordinary IQ, so he needs to be taught how to socialize normally.
Jiang Shiyue felt that if she did something right, Yangyang might open up his heart and live like a normal child.
Jiang Shiyue and Yangyang slowly walked to the parking lot, and the shuttle bus was already parked on the side of the road.
The sisters-in-law gathered in groups of three or four to talk, but when they saw her, they either fell silent or moved aside. Some of them even showed their disdain clearly by rolling their eyes at her.
Jiang Shiyue could only pretend not to see it.
It was all the original owner's fault, and she could only bear it.
Whether waiting for the bus or getting on the bus, Jiang Shiyue seemed to have her own barrier. All the sisters-in-law stayed one meter away from her, as if they would be contaminated by some dirt if they touched her.
After getting on the bus, Jiang Shiyue consciously held Yangyang on her lap to make room for an empty seat, but her sisters-in-law would rather stand than sit next to her.
Jiang Shiyue muttered softly, "It feels so bad to be isolated!"
Although she has no interest in ineffective social interaction.
When they arrived in Yincheng, Jiang Shiyue found that the bus was parked in a very particular way.
On the left is a more civilian commercial street, which has some ordinary shops along the street, such as grain stores, butcher shops, clothing stores, cloth shops, etc.
On the right are the city's more upscale consumer places, such as department stores, the Friendship Store that uses foreign exchange coupons, and movie theaters.
After getting off the car, the sisters-in-law split into two groups, one going left and the other going right.
Only Jiang Shiyue was holding Yangyang's hand, looking left and right, not knowing where to go. After thinking for a moment, he returned to the car door and asked the driver, "Comrade, do you know where there is a black market nearby?"
The driver's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. He glanced at Yang Yang with an almost horrified look, then looked at Jiang Siyue angrily but dared not say a word, warning her, "Sister-in-law, selling children is illegal!"
