If you pronounce a word correctly, you get one cent, and if you pronounce it wrong, you lose two cents...
Erdan's head was buzzing.
Let's round it up and not make it an even number. For example, if he read 300 words correctly, he would get 30 yuan, and for the rest he read incorrectly, he would have to deduct 40 yuan. So he would have to give his mother 10 yuan in change?
He can recite the multiplication tables backwards and can do math quickly.
So, I used the 12 dollars I earned from finishing the workbook to compensate...
Erdan took a breath of cold air!
So he worked as hard as a donkey for the whole afternoon and only earned two or three dollars?
Let him think about it, if he hadn't come up with these crooked ideas in the beginning and had been honest, how much money could he have made?
Oh, about twenty yuan.
Two or three yuan and more than twenty yuan...
The difference is quite a bit!
"Mom~" Erdan smiled, "Let's still count based on the original five points. I'm not greedy."
At five cents, he can still earn at least fifteen dollars!
Su Qinghu just smiled and said nothing.
That little bastard, is he playing tricks on her? He must learn this lesson.
Dadan was lying on the bed, and while Su Qinghu was talking, he calculated the numbers in his mind. After he finished calculating, he grinned.
Stupid!
Smart as a whim!
Let’s see if he dares to be greedy again in the future!
"Mom, is it okay?" Erdan asked cautiously, already beginning to regret it.
He was just playing around at first, but only now did he realize something was wrong.
It shouldn't be like that.
Su Qinghu smiled politely, "No, read it."
Erdan still wanted to fight for it, but when he saw that the smile in Su Qinghu's eyes had disappeared, he felt that the matter had become serious. He didn't dare to say anything more, opened his mouth, and was about to start reading.
Su Qinghu: "Wait a moment."
Erdan's eyes suddenly lit up. His mother must have loved him. She must have been trying to scare him just now!
Su Qinghu nodded her chin, motioning him to pick up the pen on the table.
Erdan took it, and Su Qinghu wiped his hair while saying, "Come closer and circle the words you don't know. If you think you know the words, read them again later and I will correct them. Remember to circle the words you read wrong."
I guess he will never forget these words.
Su Qinghu smiled and suddenly wanted to applaud herself. She was such a smart person!
Erdan didn't dare to say anything. He sat down obediently and nodded.
So, Su Qinghu wiped his hair while looking elsewhere casually.
Erdan looked at it and felt much more at ease. He struggled to circle the words he didn't recognize.
When encountering something that seems to be true but is not, I struggle to decide whether to circle it or not...
This situation lasted for seven minutes.
Su Qinghu also had fun for seven minutes. He had to read more correctly and read less incorrectly to maintain a balance between income and expenditure. Therefore, he would be very worried when he encountered a situation where he could probably read it correctly but was not sure whether he could read it correctly.
Erdan was really worried. As he was worried, he was calculating, wondering how many Chinese characters he should circle to get the same amount of money as he received...
"Are you ready?"
Su Qinghu saw that he only had a few words left and smiled, "Can you start reading?"
Erdan took a deep breath, as if he was going to burn his boats, and said, "That's it!"
He recited it carefully, paying attention to his mother's expression all the time, for fear that she would say something to him.
Once you pronounce it aloud, it means you are reading it wrong...
Scared, who will save him!
Where's my brother? Why is he still asleep? Can't you get up and help him, or give him some gestures to remind him?
Woo woo!
However, the reality is that Dadan got up and was hiding behind the door listening.
The beginning was fine, but the further he read, the more he was interrupted, so much so that Erdan started to get nervous.
It’s over, it’s over, the uncertain words may not be able to remain balanced!!!
Dadan's mouth twitched as he heard this behind the door. He couldn't believe that his brother was illiterate!
After reading the last word, Erdan's eyes were filled with tears.
Just now he was reading and calculating, and now...
"Have you figured it out?" Su Qinghu smiled, his eyes curved in delight. "How much money should I get?"
Once money is involved, this little guy's mental arithmetic ability will fly. She absolutely does not believe that he did not silently calculate, otherwise why would his expression be so broken?
Hahahahahaha~~
Erdan pursed his lips, then pursed them again, and almost cried out loud.
He used to think that he was unmatched in his studies and could do whatever he wanted.
Now, he felt like he was nothing! He couldn't even make money from his studies, which he was most proud of!
He wants to read a book, he wants to memorize the dictionary, woooooo...
"Forget it, let me do the calculation." Su Qinghu adjusted his facial expression, took a pen from the pen holder on the table, and then stretched out his hand, "Give me the paper in your hand."
Erdan pouted, handed the paper over, and read out the number. "I owe you two dollars."
"???" Su Qinghu raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this the number?"
Erdan said shamefully: "I'll make it even for you!"
Su Qinghu: "Puff!"
She smiled, and Erdan followed with a reproachful look.
"Ahem!" Su Qinghu cleared his throat and held back his laughter. "I don't mean to laugh at you. I just think—"
puff!
Meeting Erdan's gaze that said it would be better if he didn't explain, Su Qinghu wanted to laugh again.
Really, I still want to laugh!
"Just what?" Erdan said desperately, "Just think I'm stupid?"
Su Qinghu: "No, no, how can you be stupid? Think about it, you just finished reading those words and you calculated how much money I should be given. How amazing is that~"
Hahaha!
"..." Erdan was angry, "Laugh if you want to, I didn't say you can't laugh!"
"Hahahahaha." Su Qinghu pinched the paper and laughed so hard that the paper trembled. "Really, don't think too much, you are definitely not stupid."
Erdan: “…”
He was so angry and wanted to cry...
Seeing him trying hard to hold back his tears, Su Qinghu felt that she was a little immoral. After thinking about it, she couldn't come up with any good words of comfort, so she could only look at him innocently.
Erdan cried out, "Wow!" For the first time in his life, he began to doubt his own intelligence. "Am I... am I really not stupid?"
Su Qinghu was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that he hurt himself internally, and his face was almost distorted.
She: “…Not stupid.”
What should I do? Is she one of those parents who cheats on her child? Otherwise, why does seeing her child so sad make her want to laugh even more?
condemn!
She must strongly condemn her own behavior of gloating!
but,
puff!
"Wow!" Erdan suddenly broke down in tears. "You must think I'm stupid. If you didn't think I was stupid, you should have said I was smart!"
Su Qinghu: “???”
Ah, is it possible?
"You're very smart," Su Qinghu said. "At least your mental arithmetic skills are pretty good. You even figured out how much change to give me!"
Erdan cried even harder.
After working hard for an entire afternoon, I still have to look back for two dollars. Who wouldn’t be upset?
Dadan was sobbing as he listened behind the door. He looked up to the sky, sighed, and climbed into bed to sleep.
