Chapter 42: Ash's lie
At the dinner table, the little girl was sullen and holding the rice bowl, Qin Wanyu looked at her husband with puzzled eyes, this girl was still happy when she went out, why was it wrong when she came back, could it be that the date was not going well? Or did the husband finally can't hold back his stupidity and ruins the girl's date?
Thinking of this, Qin Wanyu quietly reached out and pulled her husband on the side, glanced at Li Chenghua in the direction of her daughter, leaned over to the root of his ear and asked softly, "What's wrong with Pei Pei?" Did you do something? ”
Li Chenghua felt wronged, the little girl was slapped in the face for her own affection, why did his wife's first reaction be that he was making trouble? His character is so discredited! Li Chenghua looked at his wife with a wronged and aggrieved expression, and his wife's reaction back to him was still suspicious!
- Do you want to tell the little girl about her shame? Li Chenghua looked at his daughter's obvious stinky face at the dinner table, and struggled repeatedly in his heart.
Although his sister bribed him with an ice cream a few days ago not to mention her dating in the presence of his grandmother, Li Peizhi, a small capitalist who was instilled by Mr. Li's education since childhood, has long kept in mind an iron law of business: all agreements that only have verbal promises instead of being settled on paper are likely to be overturned!
What's more, his sister was so stingy that she wanted to buy him with an ice cream for less than a dollar, and the other day he didn't mention his sister's date in front of the old lady was not because he was really bought by an ice cream, but because he thought that if the old lady knew about it and stopped it, then he wouldn't be able to get dating experience from his sister! The little capitalist Li Peizhi's little abacus in his heart is the essence of Di Ligula! Now that his sister has come back from watching the movie, he doesn't need to keep it a secret for his sister, so-
"Sister, can you tell me about the movie date with Jimmy tonight, is the movie good, and have you made an appointment to watch it together next time?" The bear child did not hesitate to betray his sister at the table in the presence of the old lady.
"Why doesn't this kid talk at all! When the father's heart is slandered.
"It's going to be bad! The old woman asked me for a while, do I pretend not to know, or pretend not to know, or pretend not to know! The old man lowered his eyes and muttered to himself in his heart.
"Stinky Ash doesn't talk about credit at all, wait, and I'll clean you up when no one is there for a while!" The little girl who was betrayed by her brother looked angry.
"It looks like these two children will definitely fight after dinner, which really makes me cāo's heart! Qin Wanyu pressed the sudden jump of the forehead.
"Hee-hee, I can watch my sister and brother fight again in a while, it's so fun! The youngest Li Peihao rolled his eyes around, looking at his sister for a while, and his brother for a while.
"What date? Who is Jimmy? Sure enough, the old lady asked, and looked at the silent crowd at the table with a surprised expression.
The old lady first looked at her baby granddaughter, but saw the little girl staring at the eldest grandson with fiery eyes with an expression of eagerness to pounce on her grandson, and then turned her head to look at her wife.
Li Chenghua saw that the only newspaper on the table was used as a shield by the old man's hands and feet super quickly, so he had to stand up and play haha at the old lady: "Mommy, Jimmy is Pei Pei's classmate, and their family is a neighbor of ours, and the two children play well, so they made an appointment to watch a cartoon together, or I went with them." Ash! You kid, you really are! Listen to the wind and rain! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know! As he spoke, he glared at his eldest son, and then smiled at the old lady, "Mommy, what kind of date is a child's appointment to watch a movie together, it's not like this at all!" ”
After listening to the explanation, the old lady looked at the crowd in the restaurant suspiciously, feeling that it didn't seem to be very credible, and saw that the eldest grandson had lowered his head at this time and bowed his head in silence, and "hummed" at her son, "I don't listen to your explanation, Xiaozhi, you come!" His eyes stared at his eldest grandson.
Xiao Zhi weighed it in his heart, raised his head, and saw the warning look from his sister opposite, and hurriedly showed a coquettish look to his grandmother: "Grandma, our school recently assigned an extracurricular task, let's write a movie review, I also made an appointment with my classmates to watch the movie together in a few days, I just asked my sister how she plans to write after watching it." I have to say that Ash is also a spirit, quietly paving the way for his first date.
The old lady let out an "oh", seemed to let down her vigilance, picked up a few chopsticks and put them in the bowl of her eldest grandson, and then asked curiously: "Didn't your school always hold a reading club and let you write your feelings after reading, why do you ask to watch a movie now?" This old beautiful school is really messy! ”
Xiao Zhi held the rice bowl and made up a lie without changing his face: "Milk-you don't know that our primary school homework is like this, let us hold a reading club to write after reading all day long, and the recess test often tests our usual reading, recently many students have reacted to our student union, saying that watching movies is more intuitive than reading books on paper, so our student union applied to the school, and asked students to watch more movies in addition to reading, such as this small exam, I changed all my extracurricular homework to a movie of my choice, and then wrote a review and handed it in. ”
Ash's lie was simply justified when he opened his mouth, and he fooled the old lady all at once.
Of course, the reason why the old lady believes Ash's rhetoric so easily is related to the American elementary school education system and an incident that happened a few years ago.
First of all, let's talk about the education system of Lao Mei: primary education is a five-year system, and the requirements for graduates' mathematical ability are limited to the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and in terms of writing, it is only required to learn to write formal, informal, and correspondence between friends.
It seems that the American education community regards children as mentally handicapped, but in fact, the education method of American primary schools pays more attention to cultivating children's observation skills, expression skills, hands-on skills and interpersonal skills.
For example, teachers often organize students to observe some small animals, such as frogs, butterflies, chickens, mice, etc., to understand the life evolution process of these small animals, and then educate children about the structure of the human body and how people should maintain good health.
In addition, in the Boy Scout Summer Camp during primary school, teachers will teach children how to use guò maps, photos, charts and other objects to explain the different climates in different parts of the world and some geographical knowledge.
The amount of extracurricular reading required by elementary school students in the United States is also very alarming, and the average fifth-grade graduate has at least 1,000 books (generally referring to children's publications) throughout the course of elementary school. There are also some handicrafts in the usual homework, so that children can give full play to their imagination and hands-on ability.
In China, a seven or eight-year-old child's schoolbag weighs almost ten pounds, coupled with the amount of homework every day, which can be called cramming education. If parents in the United States ask to use the same set of standards for primary education in China to educate their children, first of all, it is absolutely impossible for the American education community to pass it, and secondly, the American child protection agency can not care whether you have the right to educate your children freely as a parent, and it will definitely be a court summons to come directly to the door, and the crime is child abuse! Strict zhòng point will deprive parents of custody!
(To be clear, the author is not a teacher, so I do not comment on which of the two education systems is better or worse.) )
The lord of Pei County, like other children from Lao Mei families, started elementary school at the age of eight, and at that time, the bear child Xiaozhi was rolling around at home and making noise to go to school with his sister, so Li Chenghua had to sacrifice the trick of school donations, and sent his eldest son Xiaozhi to the same class as Pei Peinian in primary school. The sisters and brothers are definitely highly intelligent, and they both feel that the school's education is too simple, so they often take the homework assigned by Mr. Peng to school to do it.
Once, because the father and son of the Li family were busy with work, Mrs. Li went to the school to attend a parent-teacher meeting on behalf of the child's parents. Because of the old ideas and old ideas, the old lady has long been unaccustomed to the education method of Lao Mei Primary School, when the principal asked her to talk about the children's family education, the old lady bluntly complained to the principal, saying that the school does not want to educate the children well but takes the children to play all day long, and also said to the principal with righteous words that if their children are naughty, they should be beaten and scolded!
Because of this, the Li family almost attracted a lawsuit! After the principal sent the old lady away, he immediately contacted the children's education institution, suspecting that the Li family's parents were abusing children! After the father and son of the Li family learned about it, they hurriedly offered the almighty lawyer Ranson and a check for 5,000 US dollars for the donation of the school library, which smoothed out the bad impact caused by the old lady's wrong words, and also made the two children recommended by the children's educational institution to participate in the internal test of the Mensa Club, and the final result was that the IQ of the two children exceeded 200, and they became senior members of the Mensa Club at a young age.
It has only been a year since that incident, although Li Zhoufangmei has refused to go to school to attend the children's parent-teacher meetings after the incident. However, the old lady still remembers the time she saw a big-character poster at the entrance of the teaching building, which read: "Reading is an essential part of everyone's life!" In addition, the two children often ask their families for money to buy some school-designated publications, so when Ash mentioned the topic of reading clubs and movie clubs, the old lady had no doubts about its authenticity.
In this way, because of the lie that his younger brother Xiaozhi made up for it, the county lord of Pei escaped from the old lady smoothly.
gave her younger brother a look of "count you as a kid", the little girl put down her chopsticks and said to everyone at the table: "I'm full, I have to watch the movie tomorrow, I'll go upstairs and go back to the room first." Then he slipped back into his room.
Note: Mensah's English name is "Mensa", which is the name of the world's top IQ club. The Mensa Club has more than 100,000 members in more than 100 countries and regions around the world. There are generally 30 questions in the Mensa test paper, and 23 questions are answered correctly, which translates to an IQ of 148, which is the standard for joining the Mensa Club. The Mensah test is generally based on the aspects of attention, observation, logical thinking, imagination and memory, and makes a comprehensive assessment.
