Chapter 98 Mommy~~I've grown up~~
Su Taotao looked incredulous. Didn't they start learning this in elementary school? Otherwise, they would have to wait until they were in the middle or senior classes of kindergarten, right?
She hasn't even taught Chen Chen how to count, and she doesn't even know how to add or subtract. And yet Mr. Fu is so "crazy" that he starts teaching the child to recite the multiplication table?
After a while, a childish voice floated from the bathroom: "One one equals one, one two equals two, two two equals four..."
Su Taotao: “…”
As a mother of ordinary qualifications, she simply could not keep up with the pace of this talented father and son.
"Xiaohang, how old were you when you learned the multiplication table?"
Fu Yuanhang, who was hanging clothes, thought for a moment and said, "My teacher taught me this when I was in the second grade of elementary school. My mother didn't teach me in advance."
Su Taotao lazily lay on the bamboo chair and sighed, "Do you think your brother has gone insane?"
Fu Yuanhang shook his head and said, "No, Chenchen is much smarter than me. He remembers everything I teach him. I asked him and he said it was fun. If he doesn't like it, he will refuse."
Chenchen is not the kind of kid who accepts things submissively. On the contrary, he is very opinionated and has his own ideas. If he doesn't like something or is unwilling to say something, he would have spoken up long ago.
Su Taotao thought about it and realized that Chenchen was just following along and had no idea what the words meant. He probably thought he was playing games with his dad and was enjoying it.
"Xiaohang, how about you? Have you adapted to the life in the new school?"
Fu Yuanhang: "The classmates are all very nice and the teachers know a lot."
He likes the current learning environment very much. Ever since Su Taotao stood up for him last time, basically no classmates have come to pick a fight with him.
Occasionally, some classmates would say something sarcastic to him, but he would not take it to heart.
He and Mumu have their own small group. They go to class together, study, play ball and games, and live a happy life.
Su Taotao: "What about homework? Are you keeping up?"
She and Fu Zhengtu both tacitly agreed that the time before summer vacation was a period for Fu Yuanhang to adjust, and they would not put any pressure on him. If he couldn't adjust, he could just repeat the fourth grade in September.
Fu Yuanhang nodded: "I can keep up. Mumu studies very well. Several classmates who get along well with him also study well. They all lend me their notebooks."
Fu Yuanhang was smart. When he was in the village, he always got the first place in the exams.
Although what he learns is a little shallow, the learning methods are the same and the content is also the same. He thinks learning is not difficult as long as you listen more, write more, practice more and remember more.
Su Taotao said, "That's fine. If you have any questions, you can ask me or your brother. It's not that we don't value your studies, but you are self-disciplined and eager to learn. There is really nothing for us to worry about."
Fu Yuanhang smiled and said, "I know, sister-in-law."
Is sister-in-law worried that he is jealous that his brother only teaches Chenchen and not him?
If they kept watching him study every day, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Su Taotao added, "Get your painting tools ready. I'll take you to see Master Tang this weekend. Although Master Tang doesn't charge tuition, you must be polite. I won't say more. Study hard and make the most of this opportunity. When you talk about this opportunity in the future, you will be grateful and proud."
Fu Yuanhang held his head high and said, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely do it."
Su Taotao rubbed his head and sighed, "You and Chenchen are both so well behaved. My temper is of no use at all."
Other people’s children often make their mothers so angry that they jump up and down and have high blood pressure, especially boys. But these two in their family are more obedient and less troublesome than the other.
Another carefree child came out of the bath, smelling fragrant all over, and came to his mother to let her smell him.
"Mom~~ Baibai only took a bath~~ once~~ doesn't it stink~~"
Su Taotao said: "It is too small to bathe often. We can bathe it more often when it grows up."
Chenchen held Baibai in his arms and walked to the corner of the wall on his short legs, letting it lean against the wall: "Kesu~~ Mommy, look~~ Baibai has grown up~~"
That's where Su Taotao recorded the heights of her two children. Just a few days after they moved in, she drew a scale for each of them to see how much taller they would grow in a year.
On Chenchen's birthday, Su Taotao measured him again. In fact, he had not grown taller in just a few days. In order to make the child happy, Su Taotao drew a picture for the sake of politeness and said that he had grown taller.
I don't know when Chenchen also drew one for Baibai. It's only been a few days and it hasn't grown taller, but now it is hunched over and can cover the line. The smart kids say it has grown taller.
Su Taotao picked up the charcoal pencil beside her, made a rough sketch, and said, "When Baibai grows to this size, you can take a bath more often."
Chenchen looked at Baibai, then looked at the line, and said "Ah~~", expressing his disappointment.
But the child was not discouraged. He touched the white dog's head and told it to eat more so that he could take a bath with it in the future.
Su Taotao: "..." She couldn't accept the fact that the child took a bath with Baibai.
Forget it, I’ll think of a way to fool you later… Uh, no, explain it.
"Mom, have I grown up yet?"
Su Taotao looked at the scale that had been drawn a few days ago and suddenly didn't know how to describe time to the children.
All I can say is: "I will have grown up by the time the Mid-Autumn Festival comes."
"Ah~~" the child blinked, "Then I know that I can win one in the lottery for the Autumn Festival~~"
Su Taotao: “…”
Chenchen’s bedtime activity has changed from listening to stories to memorizing multiplication tables.
Under the indescribable gaze of his uncle, the child recited the Three Character Classic and a few lines of the multiplication table before falling into a deep sleep.
Fu Zhengtu was not that "crazy". He just tested Chen Chen's ability by asking him to recite a few lines. He found that Chen Chen's memory was better than he thought and he could remember anything he asked him to recite.
But the child had never learned such complicated things as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and actually pointed with two chubby fingers and asked him: "One plus one equals one~~Daddy~~One 1~~and another 1~~Why is it still 1~~It should be 1, 2~~"
Fu Zhengtu: “…”
"This is the mnemonic of the multiplication table. One plus one equals two, but one multiplied by one still equals one."
The child frowned, not really understanding.
Fu Zhengtu could only say: "You will understand when you grow up."
This is why Chen Chen asked his mother if he had grown up. At that time, Su Taotao was talking about ideals and life with Fu Yuanhang and did not hear it.
Fu Zhengtu reflected on whether he should develop a systematic enlightenment plan for Chen Chen.
Then I thought that Chenchen is still young, and his wild imagination should not be restricted too early. It is better to combine education with entertainment, so that he can be nourished with knowledge without realizing it and have a happy childhood at the same time.
After all, Chenchen always thought that he was playing a game with his father. In his eyes, memorizing was the same as playing chess, folding airplanes, and playing with spinning tops with his father.
Fu Zhengtu and Su Taotao have the same educational philosophy, but Su Taotao is from the 21st century, while Fu Zhengtu is actually a person of this era.
I can only say that Mr. Fu’s educational philosophy is very advanced.
