Chapter 43: The Trick of Literacy
Although there are doubts in his heart, Su Quan does not intend to pursue it on this occasion, one is that he is really immoral to compare with a five or six-year-old child with his age and identity, and second, since Mrs. Liu has agreed, if he asks questions, then even if he proves himself right in the end, it is equivalent to offending Mrs. Liu, he is not so stupid.
But then again, if he didn't say anything at all, wouldn't it be regarded as Yuan Lang having the upper hand in this fight in the eyes of others? The problem of birthday ceremony is not big, although calligraphy and painting have the same origin, but after all, there is still a difference, no matter how high Yuan Lang's Shoulian praise is, it does not mean that his own paintings will lose to him, as for Tian Qingyou to get the love of Old Lady Liu, it is nothing, a few people in the town don't know what Tian Dayi's fat son looks like, and he gets love by being stupid and cute, which is the talent of the juggling team clown, and it is just a smile, and it is not worth boasting about at all.
However, this kid named Tian Tian is different, and I don't know what kind of shit luck Yuan Lang this old guy has taken, picking up such a treasure, not to mention whether his father is the so-called holy hand of the Great Zhou Painting Altar is true or false, just look at the series of actions when congratulating on his birthday just now and the process of answering with Mrs. Liu, this child is indeed very smart - although not as long as Yuan Lang, Su Wu is also a school teacher with more than ten years of teaching experience, whether the child is smart or not, he can judge by intuition.
"Hehe, the so-called tiger father has no dog, no wonder he is so smart at a young age, but then again, do you recognize these words you just read?" Su Quanyi folded the fan in his palm, and asked with a smile - with his years of teaching experience, the literacy of five or six-year-old children is not new, but the words used in the Caishou Lianzhong are by no means something that children of this age can learn, he can't directly say that this child is not as smart as it seems on the surface (that would make him too lacking), so he knocked on the side, ostensibly caring and asking, but in fact, it made this child show his true face.
"Recognized." Tan Xiaotian nodded and replied.
"What?" Su Quan's expression was stunned - this was much more than he expected, his eyes involuntarily looked at Yuan Lang, but he found that the other party's reaction seemed to be very surprised, what the hell is going on? In order to win the jackpot and get the favor of Mrs. Liu, it is not strange for Yuan Lang to come up with the idea of having the two children read out loud when he offered the birthday couplet, but is it necessary for him to deliberately teach these four children these fourteen words? The fact that he came forward to find Zhu'er was his own temporary idea, no matter how scheming Yuan Lang was, he could not have expected this situation. Besides, if Yuan Lang is really able to pinch and calculate, and he can pick bones in eggs, then why should he let Tian Dayi's son be a helper? With Tian Qingyou's intelligence, I'm afraid it's difficult to learn the seven words of the next link in two or three days, right? If that's not the case, isn't that the kid bragging?
Su Quan's observation was not wrong, Yuan Lang was also very surprised to hear Tan Xiaotian's answer, this morning, he just taught Tan Xiaotian to read Shanglian again, and then the main energy was used on Tian Qingyou, Tan Xiaotian learned "Hundred Family Names" under the teaching of Qiu Ju, and it is not surprising to know some of the seven words of Shanglian, but it is impossible to teach the words "rare", "respect", and "longevity", but Tan Xiaotian replied very calmly "I can recognize it", what if Su Quan broke the casserole and asked what to do?
"Hehe, okay, then let me ask you, what does this word read?" Seeing the change in Yuan Lang's expression, Su Quan was sure that his guess was right, this child was just reckless, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart - it was normal for a five- or six-year-old child not to know those words, but it was not really known to know it, that was another matter, the so-called teacher must have his apprentice, when the disciple's love to brag, what about the teacher? He signaled the subordinate who took the Shoulian to unfold the upper link, and asked with a folding fan pointing at one of the words.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Tan Xiaotian - not everyone could see that Su Quan's move was secretly competing with Yuan Lang, and most of them thought that he was teasing children.
"Well, thin." Tan Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and replied loudly.
"Ha, this kid is so smart!" The exclamations suddenly rang out, because Tan Xiaotian actually answered correctly.
"Uh, what about this?" Su Quan was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly pointed to another word to determine whether the other party was blinded by luck.
"Honorable." This time, Tan Xiaotian answered more cleanly.
The admiration was even more lively, and even Su Quan had to admit that this child's performance was by no means blinded by Meng Neng.
"Teacher Yuan, congratulations, it is really enviable to be able to accept such a good seedling." Turning around and bowing to Yuan Lang, Su Quan sighed - no matter whether Tan Xiaotian was 'sharpened by Yuan Lang in battle, unhappy and light', after receiving the invitation from Liu Fu, he was suddenly taught, and at the age of five, it only took one day to memorize these seven words, and it was definitely not something anyone could do, he was really red-eyed!
"Hehe, thank you, I'm still confused." Yuan Lang returned the salute, "Every day, I only asked you to memorize the upper couplet in the morning, and I didn't teach you the words on the couplet, why do you recognize those words?" Yuan Lang also asked curiously.
"Uh" After listening to Yuan Lang's words, everyone was also very strange, with Yuan Lang's character, he said that if he hadn't taught, he must have not taught, but it is also a fact that Tan Xiaotian recognizes the words on the link, what is going on?
"I read it in order, there are seven words in total, the first word is 'from', the last word is 'longevity', just now Mr. Su refers to the fourth and fifth words, that is, 'rare' and 'respect'." Tan Xiaotian replied truthfully.
This answer made Su Quan feel like he had been slapped on the head - it turned out that this kid didn't really know those words, but answered according to the position of the words he was referring to on Shoulian, in other words, if that person from Liu's mansion only half-expanded Shoulian, maybe Tan Xiaotian's answer was that the donkey's lips were not the right one's mouth.
"Uh, haha, so that's it, haha, what a smart kid." Understood the reason why Tan Xiaotian answered correctly, everyone laughed, and Old Lady Liu even clapped his hands again and again, and praised again and again - to be honest, if Tan Xiaotian really knew those seven words, his admiration was certainly admiration, but he would not be too surprised, after all, it was only seven words, and it took most of the day to memorize by rote, most of the smarter children could still do it, but Tan Xiaotian found another way to find a way to use the order of words to recognize words, and this method was obviously not taught by Yuan Lang, in the eyes of Old Lady Liu, This ability and awareness to draw inferences is far more important than how many words you know!
