"I'm full, I'm leaving."
During dinner in the evening, Tianxiu finished a bowl of rice in no time. With his mouth still full of food, he stood up and walked out while talking.
"You've finished eating already? Where are you in such a hurry to go?" the nanny asked loudly. Tianxiu didn't respond at all and just walked away. Zhu Wanling held Kang Siqi, who was about to leave, and said, "You better finish your meal first. Only after you finish your meal can you watch TV?"
Seeing that Siqi didn't leave, the other children no longer wanted to go to the living room to watch TV and just ate quietly.
The second sister-in-law sat in Tianxiu's original seat and said to the second brother, "Honey, I just looked at his homework book. That poor boy's Chinese composition only got more than 40 points."
"Forty points is so high?" Er Lao thought it was the composition on the test paper, but it was actually a composition for homework. If this kind of homework sheet has a composition question, it will be scored based on a 100-point system.
"You are so stupid. Forty points is high? Forty points is very bad." The old man mocked mercilessly.
The second brother started to be stubborn again, "That loser's essays are always like this, forty points is considered high for him."
"You shouldn't be like this as a father, right? You should supervise him." The second sister-in-law rolled her eyes.
At this time, A Yao said proudly, "I just had a flash of inspiration and thought of a great idea. We can play against him."
Couplets, commonly known as "Dui Ke", are the most widely used, most vital, most refined and most economical literary art in Chinese culture in social life.
The first line is called the upper couplet, and the second line is called the lower couplet. The two couplets in the middle of a regulated verse are parallel sentences, and there are also many parallel sentences in fu and parallel prose. For thousands of years, excellent couplets have emerged in an endless stream, becoming a treasure in the garden of the Chinese language, and are sought after by literati and loved by the public.
Er Lao thought about it and felt that this was a good idea to help Tian Xiu improve his literary accomplishment. He looked at Lao Dou and said, "Lao Dou, this is your strong point."
Obviously, he meant to ask his grandson for help. For the sake of his grandson, his grandson naturally had no choice but to do it. "Okay, no problem. In order to improve his Chinese, I can write couplets with him. Don't worry."
A Yao continued to add his suggestions, "Dad, when you teach him to make couplets, you must start from the basics and gradually move on to the advanced, because making couplets is easy to learn but difficult to master. First, you must cultivate his interest and inspire his enthusiasm."
"Okay, don't worry. Your dad can write a couplet in seven steps." The dad boasted to himself. Then he quickly finished his meal and went back to his room to get ready.
It wasn't until everyone finished their meal and came to the living room to watch TV. After watching half of the TV, my father came out of the living room and said, "Hey, come on, you're still watching TV? Can I teach you how to make couplets?"
"Couples? I don't know how to make them." Tianxiu said with a frown.
"It's easy to make a couplet. Grandpa was already making a couplet when he was your age." The old man waved his hands and said proudly, "Well, let me make a couplet for you to try."
"Then it will be very difficult for you to find a better solution." Tianxiu said so. The second brother and his wife looked at each other and laughed, which meant that Tianxiu could still be saved.
The old man sat down next to Tianxiu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with your IQ, there will be no problem. Come, I'll give you a simple one, listen."
"A knife is sharpened only after it has been sharpened." My father gave the first line of the couplet, and then explained: "A knife will only be sharp after it has been sharpened."
Kang Qirui couldn't help but frowned beside him. A Yao specifically told his father not to give a difficult question, but he came up with a question about sharpening a sharp sword. This was indeed too difficult. He thought Tianxiu would definitely not be able to answer it, but Tianxiu just thought for a while and smiled happily: "I'm right about lettuce coming from winter."
The old man was dumbfounded. He was about to criticize Tianxiu for what he said, but when he saw the second brother and his wife winking at him, he remembered that it was encouragement and education. He had no choice but to say, "Neat, neat! The number of words is just right. What do you mean by that?"
"We eat lettuce when we have hotpot in winter, so it comes from winter." Tianxiu said seriously.
"Okay, you're smart, keep it up." The old man laughed, and it was unclear whether he was really happy or just laughing helplessly.
My father asked the second question: "There is fish and meat for three meals a day."
"Eat the braised pork with rattan sticks." Tianxiu blurted out without thinking.
"East, south, west, north, and white in the center." Old Dou asked the third question. In Kang Qirui's eyes, the questions were getting simpler and simpler. He was afraid that Tianxiu would make another outrageous statement, and he couldn't praise him anymore, hahaha.
"Guangzongyaozu is so sloppy." Tianxiu replied.
Kang Qirui really couldn't hold back any more and burst into laughter, "Guangzongyaozu is so sloppy, ok, boy." The four brothers of Guangzongyaozu rolled their eyes at Kang Qirui. Among the five brothers, Kang Qirui was the only one who was not scolded by this sentence.
The two of them matched four or five pairs, and then Lao Dou couldn't match any more. He just had to interrupt the game by going to the toilet.
The second brother saw that his father had stopped playing, so he thought for a while and said, "My dear, Grandpa has a stomachache and can't play the matching game. How about we do an IQ test together?"
"Okay." Tianxiu was in high spirits. After being praised for a long time, he was full of confidence.
The second guy asked the first question: "Suppose we live on the 20th floor. When you go to school, you have to go downstairs and take the elevator. When you reach the elevator door, do you press the arrow pointing up or the arrow pointing down?"
When Er Lao asked this question, Kang Qirui, Zhu Wanling and others were all stunned. What kind of IQ question is this? Isn't this a common sense question? Anyone with a little common sense can answer it.
"Of course, press the downward arrow." Tianxiu looked at the second brother as if he was an idiot.
"Wrong!" The second brother said, "You should press the arrow up, because if you don't press the arrow up, how can the elevator go up? If the elevator doesn't go up, how can you take the elevator down?"
Tian Xiu shook his head violently and insisted, "There is no reason. Anyone who presses the arrow upwards must be a fool. There must be something wrong with their brain. They must be idiots."
When Er Lao heard that Tian Xiu had a different opinion from him, he was not angry. Instead, he said excitedly: "You also know that people who press the arrow upwards are idiots? Your uncle pressed the arrow upwards last time, hahahahahaha"
Big Brother Guang was watching the show quietly at the side, but when he saw the show happening to him, he quickly argued, "What? I just pressed the wrong button without realizing it. Of course I knew I should press the down arrow. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"No need to explain, explanation is just covering up!" Er Lao laughed. (End of this chapter)
