209 One Hundred Thousand Whys Dust

The children had been playing in the yard for so long that Su Taotao was worried that they would get heatstroke, so she cooked some mung bean and kelp soup in a clay pot and asked Fu Yuanhang to watch the fire while she went upstairs to rest for a while.

By the time she closed her eyes, the sun had already set.

Only Chenchen and Fu Yuanhang were left in the yard. Chenchen was squatting on one side, muttering to himself, no one knew what he was doing.

"Sister-in-law, Mumu and Dongdong are back. We all drank some mung bean soup and gave you a cold bowl. Do you want to drink it now?"

Su Taotao touched Fu Yuanhang's head: "Thank you, Xiaohang, I am indeed a little hungry, let's go drink 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 and said, "Oh no, that's wrong. They are exactly the same. I don't know which one I counted."

Su Taotao: “…”Okay, it’s my fault as an old mother.

After drinking the mung bean soup, Su Taotao started to cook dinner.

Today, Su Taotao bought some fresh duck from the town and planned to use it to make three cups duck.

After blanching the duck, start frying the sugar color. After the sugar color is done, put the duck into the pan and stir-fry until the surface of the duck skin is slightly browned. Then add more young ginger slices, 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 three seasonings: sugar, soy sauce and wine.

In fact, the raw materials these days are good, and as long as they are not mixed like Aunt Zhong, the boiled pork will taste especially good.

Fu Yuanhang was helping on the side the whole time. The aroma filled the air so much that he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

While the duck meat was bubbling in the clay pot, Su Taotao couldn't help but sneak behind Chen Chen to watch him count ants.

Chen Chen has a very good concentration ability. 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 rules. After I teach him a theory, he knows how to apply it to other situations.

Su Taotao thought it was time to teach him pinyin and Chinese characters. After learning Chinese characters, he could start reading books.

Such a child with a photographic memory and extraordinary 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 just like Fu Zhengtu.

But at the same time, she was worried that this would deprive him of his childhood prematurely. Seeing how happy he was squatting on the ground counting ants, Su Taotao really hoped that he could have a happy childhood like an ordinary child.

What if we teach him to read too early, will he become so absorbed in books that he loses interest in anything else?

Or if you learn all the knowledge at home, will you dislike going to school and not get to know other children of your own age?

Educating children is really a great science. 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 Chen Chen and squatted down: "It's already very late, let's not disturb the ants moving, okay?"

Chenchen looked up and saw layers of scorching clouds hanging in the sky: "Ah~~ It's so late~~ Mom~~ The ants can't finish moving before dark, what should we do~~"

Su Taotao said: "It doesn't matter, they will be busy until the move is complete. Although each ant looks the same, they are actually different ants. They will work together and won't get tired."

Su Taotao actually didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was theoretically true.

She put a grain of rice 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 hands, "They are so disgusting~~"

Su Taotao touched the child's head:

"This is the power of teamwork. One ant cannot lift something, but a few ants or a group of ants can lift something that is much larger than themselves. This is why we say that ants can lift elephants."

Chenchen had seen elephants in the zoo, and when he compared the size of the ants to elephants, he was shocked and nodded to show that he understood:

"Then where did they move the things to?"

Su Taotao said: "Chenchen, did you see the fire clouds in the sky? This is also a signal from nature that it may rain soon.

The little fairies in nature are very smart. The ants may sense that their nests are too low and are in danger of being flooded by rain, so they move their homes to higher places where they are not exposed to rain and store their food there. "

Chenchen was fascinated by what he heard, blinking his big round eyes: "Ant is so smart~~Mom, you are also so smart~~How do you know so much~~"

Su Taotao took the little boy's hand and took the opportunity to pull him up: "I read it from a book. Have you seen how many books there are in dad's bookcase?"

Chen Chen nodded: "I see~~"

"Mom only knows a very small part of our motherland and this world," Su Taotao pointed to the sky above her head, "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, he knew that there was a stream in the village with schools of fish swimming in it, that rice grew from rice seedlings, and that hens could lay eggs that would hatch into chicks."

"Later, Mom and Dad took Chenchen to the zoo in the city, and Chenchen saw many animals he had never seen before."

"When Chenchen came here later, he discovered that the ocean was so vast and blue, that there were seagulls flying over the ocean, that there were many kinds of seafood, and that conches could hear the sound of the waves.

I just saw ants moving.”

Chen Chen 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 noodles, which he had never eaten before, and smelled stinky soy milk, etc., right?"

Chen Chen nodded thoughtfully.

"These are just a tiny, insignificant part of the ocean of knowledge. We can only learn about places we cannot visit from books. This is the importance of reading and learning to read."

"Mom, Dad and my uncle know a little more than Chen Chen. Besides having walked more roads, they have also read more books."

After hearing this, Chenchen was very distressed. He pointed his finger at her and hung his head: "Mom, Chenchen can't read and can't understand books."

In fact, not only Chen Chen, but also Fu Yuanhang benefited a lot from listening to Su Taotao's words.

He knows a lot of words, but he hasn't read many books. He plans to read more in the future.

Su Taotao looked at the two well-behaved kids and didn't know whether she should say such words.

She picked Chenchen up and kissed his cheek: "It's okay, Chenchen is still young, he can do whatever he likes, and it's okay for him to learn to read and write a little later."

Dust Shaker:

"Kesu Mama~~

I still want to send it. I already know why ants move~~

Why did the clouds in the sky turn red?

Why can conch shells hear the sound of waves?

Can we not have him guarding Grandpa's lighthouse?

Can you change a fish to help him guard it~~

Let Grandpa go home~~

..."

Fu Yuanhang, who thought his knowledge was too shallow and couldn't even think of these questions, walked back to the kitchen silently.

Su Taotao: “…”

Su Taotao looked at the Ten Thousand Whys Chenchen and she regretted it. She was so mediocre, why did she say all these to such a smart kid!
