Is Chapter 279's calculation correct?
He casually asked a question, "Yaoyao, what is 246 plus 432?"
Nestled in her mother's arms, Yao Yao blurted out the answer in her childish voice without a second thought.
"This is too easy, 246 plus 432 equals 678."
"Daddy, did I get it right?" Yao Yao seemed surprised that her father would give her such a simple question. She blinked her beautiful almond-shaped eyes like a little kitten.
The entire response was so fast it was almost as if he hadn't thought about it at all.
But the result was correct.
Yao Yao is only four years old this year and has never formally attended school. She only attended a daycare center for a year. The daycare center is actually similar to a nursery. There are not many classes, and the children are mostly played together.
Most children this age can't even do addition and subtraction within 20.
Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui were taken aback, their gazes towards their daughter becoming more complicated.
Then the couple came up with several addition and subtraction problems within three digits, and even some multiplication and division problems within two digits.
Without exception, Yao Yao answered all the questions correctly, and she calculated them all in her head within three seconds.
This clearly shows that Yao Yao is indeed more sensitive to numbers than most children her age.
Before long, Yan Yan finished his drawing. He took it to Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui, pointed at the people in the drawing, and said earnestly with his little face:
"This is Dad, this is Mom, this is my sister, and this is me."
"I drew my family of four."
On this small piece of paper, a family of four appears vividly. Although some details are not quite right, you can tell who is who at a glance.
The four-year-old child had not received any professional training or learning, and no one at home had intentionally taught him these things.
It's already quite good that it can be drawn like this.
Even though Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui were laymen, they could see that their son had a talent for drawing.
Yao Yao's eyes sparkled as she hugged the drawing her brother had made. "Wow, brother is so amazing! Brother is the best!"
My brother drew her and my mother so beautifully, and my father is tall and handsome, standing next to her and my mother.
Yan Yan's face flushed slightly. He felt a little embarrassed after being praised by his younger sister. "My sister is also very good. She is great at math."
When my younger sister was in the nursery, she always got full marks on math problems. Other children might not even be able to finish, but she would pick up her pen and finish all the problems in a few quick strokes, and she would get them all right.
Although he also got a perfect score, he knew in his heart that he could also get a perfect score on a more difficult question if he put it in front of his sister.
Seeing this, Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou pulled the two children into their arms and hugged them, their hearts filled with thoughts of the children's future.
If the child had no talent and was only average, that would be one thing, but their child clearly had talent, so they couldn't let that talent go to waste.
However, the children are still young, and they cannot make choices for them. They can only guide them in this direction for now, and let them choose for themselves when they grow up.
The two children went to sleep at night.
As darkness fell, the sky gradually darkened.
The door closed.
Xu Sui lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Unconsciously, she rolled into Qin Yunzhou's arms, hugged his waist, and buried her head in the man's chest.
"Do you think we should find a teacher for the children?"
They were both first-time parents and knew absolutely nothing about how to educate and raise children; they could only learn by trial and error.
Qin Yunzhou thought for a moment, then shook his head. "The children are still young. Don't find them teachers yet. Finding teachers to teach them too many skills will only limit their thinking."
"Let nature take its course. There's no rush to find them teachers. Besides, even if we wanted to, there aren't many good teachers around here. It's better to let the two children explore their interests freely."
"However, we can also pay more attention to cultivating their talents in the little things in life."
Xu Sui thought about it and agreed. In this era, there weren't many good educational resources, especially since they were in a remote mountainous area where many teachers didn't even have a high school diploma and weren't very professional.
Instead of letting them teach the children, it's better to let them explore freely.
"Alright."
As they were talking, Qin Yunzhou unconsciously lowered his head and kissed Xu Sui's soft lips, his Adam's apple bobbing.
In the pitch-black night, he held his wife's soft, slender waist tightly, his deep, husky voice ringing in Xu Sui's ear.
"Sui Sui, are you feeling better?"
"Did you get hurt last night? I bought a box of ointment. If you did get hurt, I'll apply it for you."
Qin Yunzhou was in the prime of his life, young and vigorous. They had been separated for a long time, and as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Their separation had lasted for so many years, it was more than just a short one.
Last night was the result of his deliberate control; otherwise, it probably would have dragged on until dawn.
Even though it was under control, it still made the person faint.
Last night, the procedure was done in complete darkness, and Qin Yunzhou was worried about hurting the person, so today he specifically went to ask Shen Si to buy a box of ointment and also brought back a lot of family planning supplies.
Those family planning supplies should be enough for this month.
He happened to have a month-long vacation.
Thinking of this, Xu Sui couldn't help but glare at Qin Yunzhou. She reached out and pushed his chest, then rolled out of his arms and into the quilt, wrapping herself up tightly in the blanket.
"We need to be more restrained in this matter; we've already spent most of last night doing this."
"Too much indulgence is also bad; it harms your health."
"A maximum of three times in the future, I can't handle more than that."
Because it was a long-awaited reunion, Xu Sui had actually missed Qin Yunzhou, and she let him do whatever he wanted last night.
But this person is just too powerful and too fierce.
After three attempts, this person actually came again. He had already fallen asleep from exhaustion during the third attempt, but when he woke up, this person was still there.
He was even fiercer than when he last visited her in Beijing.
He almost broke several of her parasite supplies, nearly scaring her half to death.
After all, two children in the family are already enough; she doesn't want to have any more.
Having a baby not only costs money, but also takes a lot of energy.
Xu Sui now only wants to focus her energy on her work and doesn't want to have any more children.
