127. Teaching

Seeing that the three people came back safe and sound, Wang Qiaoniang was very happy and hurriedly prepared breakfast for them.

Breakfast is Sophora japonica rice.

In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the locust flowers are fragrant, but by now the locust flowers have fallen.

However, farmers will pick sophora flowers in April and dry them, so that they can eat them until autumn.

Sophora flower rice is simple and delicious. Dip the sophora flowers into the flour, stir in the flour, sprinkle with some salt and steam it in a pot.

Wang Qiaoniang made garlic paste to go with the rice, which goes best with Sophora japonica rice.

Not long after it has been served in the pot, the water vapor is hazy, and the unique fresh aroma of Sophora japonica fills the air.

Heidou waited patiently at the door while holding a bowl of sea that was bigger than his head.

Wang Qilin asked: "Didn't you have dinner just now?"

Heidou was shy: "I'm not full, I can eat more."

Wang Qiaoniang said with a straight face: "Why do children eat too much?"

Wang Qilin waved his hand: "Sister, what you said is wrong. Children need nutrients for physical development. As long as they don't last, they must eat as much as possible. At least they must be full."

He stretched out his hand to tuck Heidou's braid, and Heidou sat down cutely, tying it casually.

After the sophora flower rice came out of the pot, Wang Qilin stuffed a large bowl of black beans and asked kindly: "Are there enough beans in Zhugu?"

"That's enough, that's enough." Heidou was so excited that he almost shed tears.

My uncle is so kind to me, but I used to think he was a bad person. Why am I so stupid?

He held the ocean bowl and ate happily, burping until he was full.

Wang Qilin went to the house to unpack and took out the big meat buns he bought in the county: "Sister, the pot is empty? Then heat up the buns. There will be minced garlic. We will eat the buns later."

Looking at the snow-white plump buns, the happiness in Heidou's heart disappeared little by little.

"I can still eat." He said silently to himself.

But I still couldn't help it, and cried loudly:

I could eat one, two, one, two big buns, but now I can only eat the next one!

After dinner, Wang Qilin took his eight cats for a walk in the countryside.

When he came back, he saw Heidou playing by himself at the door again, and he suddenly felt sad.

He remembered that Heidou couldn't count when he came back in the morning, so he said: "Heidou, come here, uncle will teach you to learn. From now on, if you have nothing to do, just learn by yourself, and then you won't be alone."

Heidou shook his head, Wang Qiaoniang took off her shoes skillfully, and Heidou nodded hurriedly.

Teaching must start simple. Wang Qilin decided to teach him literacy first:

"One is one, you see, a finger, an uncle, a meow, a black bean, and a mother, this is one."

Ba Miao nodded: "Meow."

Heidou pretended to be smart: "One, this is one, one finger, one uncle, one eight meow..."

"Two is two, you see, two fingers, two hands, two eyes, two ears."

"Two, this is two, two fingers, two hands, uh, is it two or two?"

"Two means two!"

"Yes, two means two!" Heidou nodded vigorously.

"Very good, Black Bean is very smart."

Heidou showed a smart smile.

"Next is three, three fingers, three trees, three, three of us."

Heidou nodded: "Three, this is three!"

Wang Qilin took out three silver bahts and put them in front of him: "How many silver bahts are here?"

Heidou looked at Yin Baht blankly, then looked up at him again.

The eyes are very innocent.

Wang Qilin was helpless: "Don't look at me, look at the silver baht and count it."

Black Bean: "Is it a genus? Oh, it belongs to the genus, the bean belongs to the dragon!"

Wang Qilin rolled his eyes: "Who asked you about your zodiac sign? I asked you to count the silver baht!"

Heidou looked up at him again, silly and sweet.

Xu Da burst out laughing when he saw it, and the two lumps of flesh on his chest trembled with laughter.

Wang Qilin clenched his fist and his knuckles cracked. Heidou was so frightened that his liver trembled: "Uncle, Dou can't do it."

"Counting, it's so simple, why can't you know it?" Wang Qilin pointed at the silver baht and said, "Didn't I teach you just now?"

He took out a silver baht: "How many are these?"

Heidou said firmly: "One."

Wang Qilin's face looked a little better and he added another question: "How many are these?"

Heidou said firmly: "Two!"

Wang Qilin smiled: "Clever!"

He added again: "How many are these?"

Heidou said firmly: "Two!"

Wang Qilin suddenly exploded: "What two? Wasn't it just two?"

Heidou said: "Just now it was two, now it is two, one, two, two, what you taught Dou just now."

Wang Qilin said: "One, two, three, two is two, do you understand?"

Heidou suddenly said: "So that's it."

"How many are there now?"

Heidou stretched out his fingers and counted the silver baht: "One, two..."

While counting him, he secretly looked at Wang Qilin.

Wang Qilin smiled and nodded to encourage him.

"One." Heidou put his finger on the third silver baht, "One, two, one, one, two, one, two is two!"

Wang Qilin was stunned: One-two-one, why don't you leave it here for me to goose?

He said: "How many silver bahts is this in total?"

Heidou pointed again and counted: "One, two, one."

Wang Qilin went crazy and shouted: "Stop counting, there is no one, two, one, just one, two, three. How many silver bahts is this?"

Ba Miao couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked up and tapped each silver coin with his paw, and then shouted: "Meow meow meow."

The depression in Wang Qilin's heart suddenly disappeared. He happily picked up Ba Miao and kissed him: "The cubs are so smart, yes, three of them!"

Heidou suddenly said: "Three, yes, three!"

Wang Qilin looked at him suspiciously: "Can you count?"

Heidou nodded seriously.

Wang Qilin went to get three more eggs and asked, "How many eggs are these?"

"Three!" Heidou didn't even look at it.

Wang Qilin breathed a sigh of relief and finally taught him to count to three: "Come on, count it for me."

Heidou pointed at the eggs: "One, two, one!"

Wang Qilin turned his head and Heidou asked him: "Uncle, what are you looking for?"

"Where's the broom?"

Heidou said hurriedly: "No brooms, not three, but two, two means two! Did I guess right this time?"

Wang Qilin was stunned: "Guess? You guessed?"

He couldn't understand his nephew's stupidity. He was already three years old. Why was it so difficult to recognize numbers?

It was Xu Da who comforted him: "Don't scare him. Will you be able to count when you are this old? Even the children of the scholar's family can't count at this age."

Wang Qilin thought about it for a while. It was true that when he was more than three years old, he would only dream about the earth and cry loudly, but he seemed to be unable to do anything else.

He took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and showed three fingers with a forced smile: "Heidou, what is this?"

Heidou said: "Three!"

"Very good, come and count them for your uncle."

"One two one!"

"Fuck you, if anyone asks me to teach them how to count in the future, I'll break their legs!" Wang Qilin stretched out two fingers fiercely: "Two!"

Heidou stretched out his fingers timidly and counted: "One, two, two fingers, two means two, two fingers! Uncle, right?"

Wang Qilin was stunned for a moment and had to answer: "Yes."

Heidou comforted him and said, "Uncle, don't be angry. You can learn from Dou."

Wang Qilin picked up three more stones and placed them in front of him: "Count these for me."
