Chapter 314: The Truth
"Fei Fei, how can you bite my brother? You see, I bit my brother's tongue. Ji Ran hugged Fei Fei and asked while coaxing.
Fei Fei giggled, and the smile was particularly beautiful.
Ji Ran was coaxing Fei Fei, and Ji's mother also came to the room, looking at Xiaobao with a bitter look on her face at this time, she looked at Ji Ran strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
Ji Ran said with a smile, "Xiaobao wanted to kiss Fei Fei, but Fei Fei bit her tongue. ”
Ji's mother also laughed when she heard this, "My sister is still young and ignorant, don't be like a little sister when you are a big brother." ”
Xiaobao grimaced, and made a grimace at Feifei, "Bad girl, my brother won't kiss you in the future." ”
In the afternoon, Xiaobao went to the classical literature tutoring class, Wu Han, as usual, worked overtime to tutor Xiaobao after class, because Xiaobao's godmother Li Chaonan is Wu Han's current girlfriend, so Wu Han also takes special care of Xiaobao, and does his best to tutor Xiaobao, and Xiaobao is talented and intelligent, and makes rapid progress.
"Teacher Wu, you just read a wrong word, the sentence just now should be 'the power of the hand to bind the chicken', you read it as 'the hand has no power to fight the chicken', that word is the binding of the bondage." Xiaobao corrected.
Wu Han smiled and shook his head, "That's right, in classical Chinese, this idiom is called the power of the hand without the power of the chicken, because in ancient Chinese, the fight and the binding are fake words, and the two can be used interchangeably, so the ancients sometimes wrote the power of the hand without the power of the chicken as the hand without the power of the chicken, but the pronunciation is pronounced, which means 'to describe a person who is weak and weak, and he can't even beat a chicken', not 'a person can't even tie a chicken'." The meaning of the latter does not make sense. ”
Hearing this, Xiaobao nodded thoughtfully, "Oh." I see. ”
"Some of the meanings of ancient and modern Chinese are not much different, but some are very different, such as 'dumb like a wooden chicken', this idiom comes from the "Zhuangzi Dasheng Chapter", the story is:
King Qi Xuan loves cockfighting, a man named Ji Yuzi. It was specially trained for King Qi Xuan's cockfighting. Ten days later, King Qi Xuan asked Ji Yuzi if he had trained well, and Ji Yuzi replied, 'Not yet. This chicken looks menacing on the surface, but in fact it has no confidence'.
After another ten days, King Qi Xuan asked again, and Ji Yuzi said, "Not yet." Because as soon as it sees the shadow of another chicken. I immediately became nervous, indicating that I still have an aggressive mentality. ’
After another 10 days, King Qi Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and asked again, but it still didn't work, because Ji Yuzi thought that the chicken was still a little bright-eyed, and his momentum had not disappeared. After another 10 days like this, Ji Yuzi finally said that it was almost over. It's a bit of a dumbfounded, unmoving, and looks like a wooden chicken. It means that it has entered the perfect spiritual realm.
King Qi Xuan put this chicken into the cockfighting ring, and as soon as the other chickens saw this 'dumb', they turned around and fled.
"Dumb like a wooden chicken" is not really stupid, just look stunned, but in fact has a strong combat effectiveness, it seems that the wooden fighting does not have to attack at all, so that the other fighting cocks flee from the wind.
Therefore, the earliest meaning of 'dumb like a wooden chicken' is not a derogatory term, but a positive word, which describes it as very imposing, very high, and can reach the realm of surrendering without a fight, but now the meaning of 'dumb like a wooden chicken' has completely changed, it is about a person who is cowering and cowardly, and is stunned and stunned because of fear and fright, like a wooden chicken. Wu Han then explained.
Xiaobao listened attentively and nodded frequently, "Teacher Wu, since the ancient and modern meanings of Chinese are different, which one should you learn?" ”
Wu Han said with a smile, "You should learn both, only if you know the origin and development process of every idiom and every Chinese character, you can really understand the Chinese language, you must know that our Chinese nation is a historical country with a history of civilization five years ago, our culture is broad and profound, the sages integrated the broad wisdom in it when they created words, so if you want to better understand our culture, inherit and carry forward our culture, you need to make great efforts and hard work to understand ancient and modern Chinese characters and idioms." Only in this way can we be a real cultural scholar, lay a solid foundation on the road of literature, and go further and longer. ”
"Well, thank you, Mr. Wu, I see." Xiaobao nodded seriously.
After Wu Han tutored Xiaobao for a while, he sat on the chair opposite Xiaobao and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Xiaobao, do you know where your godmother's house lives?" ”
When Xiaobao heard this, he looked at Wu Han strangely, "Teacher Wu, you have known my godmother for so long, don't you know where my godmother lives?" ”
Wu Han smiled a little embarrassedly, indeed, as a couple in love, they have known each other for a few months, but they don't even know where the other party lives, which is indeed incredible.
"Xiaobao, if you know, tell the teacher, okay? Another day, the teacher will buy you chocolates to eat. Wu Han smiled and seduced.
"My godmother lives in my house and is with Fei Fei." Xiaobao said.
"Fei Fei? Who is Fei Fei? Wu Han asked strangely, "Oh, by the way, it's your sister, right?" ”
Xiaobao smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
"Oh, I see, it scared me, I thought it was your godmother's child." Wu Han breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiaobao looked at Wu Han strangely, Fei Fei is my godmother's child? Don't Mr. Wu know yet?
Xiaobao was just about to explain, when he saw his mother standing at the door of the classroom to pick him up, Xiaobao smiled and beckoned, packed up his schoolbag, and said to Wu Han: "Goodbye, teacher!" And he ran to the door.
Ji Ran nodded with a smile with Wu Han, said a few polite greetings, and left the school.
After Wu Han learned the news that Li Chaonan lived in Ji Ran's house, he thought about wanting to go to Ji Ran's house to sit down, and at the same time to understand Li Chaonan's life, because when the two were together, Li Chaonan always deliberately avoided some of her own problems, especially in life, she seemed to have always been very sensitive, as long as it touched on her private life, Li Chaonan usually took an evasive posture, which made Wu Han very helpless, so in the past few months, Li Chaonan's understanding of Li Chaonan was limited to eating every day. Look at the movie or something, there is no further development at all.
Wu Han felt that it was time for him to take another step, on the road of love. Men should take the initiative and be bold, if they rest on their laurels and follow the rules, I am afraid that they will be regarded as cowards and despised by women, so. After Wu Han made up his mind, the next evening, he carried the gift prepared in advance. went to Xiaobao's house.
Wu Han's sudden visit caught Ji Ran a little off guard, she didn't know that Wu Han would come to the house suddenly, but. Wu Han came. can't ignore others, Ji Ran had no choice but to let Wu Han go home, and at this time, Li Chaonan was playing with Fei Fei, Wu Han heard Li Chaonan's voice, and glanced towards the bedroom, it didn't matter, there were actually two children in the room. Li Chaonan hugged one, and there was another on the bed.
Wu Han couldn't help but feel a little strange. Does Xiaobao have two younger sisters?
Even now that family planning is liberalized, and the government has tried out the policy of having two children alone, but at most, there can only be two? Why does he have three children at home? Or is it that Ji Ran is married for the second time, and Xiaobao is brought by her ex-husband's family?
"Teacher Wu, you drink tea!" Ji Ran made a cup of tea for Wu Han, Wu Han smiled and said thank you, but his eyes still looked in the direction of the bedroom from time to time, and at this time, Li Chaonan in the room also seemed to see Wu Han, the two looked at each other, Li Chaonan's heart beat a little, and said in his heart, "Why is he here?" ”
Wu Han saw Li Chaonan, and Li Chaonan couldn't hide from him, so he had to put Fei Fei on the bed and walked out of the room.
"How do you know I'm here?" Li Chaonan asked strangely.
Wu Han smiled shyly, "I inquired." ”
Li Chaonan's heart tightened, "Who are you asking?" ”
"With Xiaobao." Wu Han saw that Li Chaonan was asking questions, so he said it truthfully.
Hearing this, Li Chaonan's heart chuckled again, and he actually forgot Xiaobao's link, in fact, earlier, Li Chaonan wanted to tell Xiaobao not to tell Wu Han where he lived, for fear that Wu Han would come over, but, after thinking about it, Xiaobao is just a child, and Wu Han probably can't talk to a child, so he didn't tell Xiaobao.
However, it was such an oversight that allowed Wu Han to take advantage of the loophole and find his home.
"Isn't it inconvenient? Or I'll go back first. Wu Han looked at Li Chaonan's somewhat displeased look, and got up awkwardly to leave.
Where is Ji Ran willing to let people come to the house with things from afar, how can they not let people have a cup of tea before leaving? was about to stay, Wu Han had no choice but to sit on the sofa again.
Since it was the first time to come, Wu Han was still a little nervous, and a trace of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Superman, don't keep a straight face, accompany others well." Ji Ran whispered to Li Chaonan.
"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll bring you fruit." Ji Ran said with a smile, and immediately went to the kitchen.
After Ji Ran walked away, Wu Han sat stupidly with Li Chaonan for a while before asking, "That kid just now was very cute, and he was very affectionate with you." ”
Wu Han said tentatively, and at the same time, carefully observed Li Chaonan's expression.
Li Chaonan thought that Wu Han knew the situation, so he didn't hide it, "That's my daughter Feifei." ”
Hearing this, Wu Han was stunned and looked at Li Chaonan in surprise: "Your daughter? ”
"What? Didn't Xiaobao tell you? Li Chaonan asked.
Wu Han didn't seem to hear Li Chaonan's words, he was stunned for a long time, his head was blank, and the words 'That's my daughter Feifei' kept echoing, and at the same time, he kept asking in his heart, "Why does she have a daughter?" How did she have a daughter? ”
Looking at Wu Han's collapsed expression, Li Chaonan knew that this relationship was probably going to collapse in advance, and most of the things about going home for the New Year were going to be in vain, but this was also expected by Li Chaonan, Li Chaonan was a very rational woman and would never put her fate on others.
Before Wu Han came, Li Chaonan had thought that if Wu Han didn't go home with him for the New Year, Li Chaonan would take Fei Fei back to his hometown and have a showdown with his parents and grandparents, because he had his daughter Fei Fei, so Li Chaonan was no longer fighting alone, maybe his parents and his grandfather would look at his daughter Fei Fei and allow her to continue to stick to the waiting in her heart and her dedication to true love.
