Chapter 11: Nursery Rhymes and Guessing Puzzles

Grandma Tang continued to read: "The second nursery rhyme is called "Moonlight", and the above introduction is a Hakka nursery rhyme. Moonlight, Xiucailang; Ride a white horse and cross the lotus pond; Outside the lotus pond, leeks are planted; Leek flowers, marrying a family. There is a pond at the door of the in-house house, and the raw carp is eight feet long; The carp is a school in her belly, and she is a boxy school. ”

"Ahh It's a nostalgic nursery rhyme! As soon as Grandma Tang finished reading, her granddaughter Yaya immediately made a surprised sound, "It reminds me of catching loaches by the pond when I was a child, and my grandmother took her ears and pulled her home to study." ”

"So you're going to have that experience too!" The same sigh was made by Qin Sen, who grew up in the countryside.

Hearing the interaction between the two of them, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly showed a look of longing, and the memories of their respective childhood popped up in their minds, and they felt that there were endless things to say.

Liu Hang spoke next, he said: "When I was a child, my grandfather was very strict, and he wanted me to be a criminal policeman, but my personality is slow, no matter what I do, my grandmother will worry about it, and so is my homework, except for liberal arts, other subjects are not good." So I was often chased all over the yard by my grandfather. At that time, although complained, but really happy, our family lived in a bungalow, a large yard with chickens, ducks and dogs, those dogs at night as long as a stranger passing by the door will yell and make noise to my homework, but as long as grandpa roars, these little guys will not squeak, so ah, our family is now grandpa's first chair, in charge. Liu Hang said with a happy expression.

Liuqiao Puben on the side wanted to scold him a few words, but when he saw his expression, he swallowed the words back, who doesn't love his own grandson? No matter how angry he is, as long as he feels happy, of course the old man is sweet in his heart.

Before Liu Hang's voice fell, Meng Qi'er immediately picked up: "I don't think I was happy at all when I was a child, my father was in business and often traveled between various cities. My mother was a dancer, but in order to be with my father, she gave up the opportunity to go abroad, so she can't let go of her original dream, so she has to be a dancer. But what I like is painting, but they don't support it, and they don't even let me apply for art universities. Speaking of which, the originally lively and lovely girl rarely showed a lonely look.

Meng Qi'er continued: "And I have never been in the same school for more than a year, for the sake of my father's business, my mother took me everywhere to transfer schools, every time I go to a place, there are no friends appearing, I should leave again, whew..., sometimes I really envy those friends who can live in the same place all the time." ”

It turned out that the eldest lady of the rich family also had a lot of troubles, and everyone didn't know what words to use to comfort her, and after a few seconds of pause, Yaya said: "Our family is relatively wealthy, but I lived with my grandmother when I was a child, and I don't have much impression of my grandfather, because he passed away when I was nine months old, and my grandmother has always pulled me to grow up." My grandmother was a great person, she was already an associate professor at the university before she was thirty years old, and she also founded her own early childhood education center, which was very famous in our city. ”

"I grew up living with my grandmother at school or in an early education centre, and she was so busy that she didn't want to leave me to someone else's care, so she took me with her everywhere. I'm now in high school at the same school where my grandmother taught, and I'm graduating in a year, and I'm going to go to college because almost half of my peers there are my friends. Yaya had a proud smile on her face, which were two completely different expressions from Meng Qi'er.

Then everyone recalled their childhood, and this nursery rhyme extended the topic for everyone to talk about for more than twenty minutes, until it was Wen Manman's turn, she hesitated slightly, and suddenly turned around and asked Yun Yeyao: "Mr. Big Star, what were you like when you were a child?" ”

"Me? … I lost half of my childhood, so I can't tell you exactly what it looks like, and if I find that half one day, I'll be happy to tell you if you still want to hear it. Yun Yeyao lowered his head and said, memories were a mixture of happiness, sorrow, pain and happiness for him, so he didn't want to say more.

In the whole table, only one person was slightly moved by this, and showed a puzzled expression, and the others did not think of anything because of this, nor did they pay attention to that person.

"That sounds so profound! I don't understand. ”

"What about you? Xiao Man. Yun Yeyao asked rhetorically.

"I don't have much to say, I was born in a very ordinary family, my parents are working-class, everyone knows, doesn't it sound new at all?"

"No, I dream of having such a family." Meng Qi'er immediately pursed her red lips and retorted, which suddenly diverted everyone's attention, so everyone began to urge Grandma Tang to continue reading.

Below is an accompanying anagram, the riddle is a verse: A river of clear water to ride the wind. Type a word.

This time, Yun Yeyao first spoke: "'Jiang' and 'Qing' remove the water is the two words 'work' and 'qing', 'work' plus the word 'one' in front, it can be a 'king' word, maybe this word is next to the word king, grandma, do you have an answer there?" Am I right? ”

"No, only the mystery." Grandma Tang turned the book back to Yun Yeyao to read, and there was indeed only a mystery.

Xia Hong, who was on the next table, interjected, "Can 'multiply' be metaphorically the 'X' of multiplication?" ”

"Maybe." Lian Fan next to her immediately responded, but the expression on the boy's face was not so sure.

"If it's the 'X', I can roughly guess," Xia Tomato continued, "Isn't the 'X' in the last wind the 'few'?" 'Wang' plus 'several' is a 'Ji'. ”

"So what does that 'clear' mean?" Tao Muqing asked.

Liu Qiaopu, who had been in a state of observance, may have been impatient with these topics, and continued: "Even if it means 'clearing', 'Jiang' clears 'water' and gets 'work'." ”

Unexpectedly, in one sentence, Grandma Tang, who was separated by two positions, immediately praised and said: "The old man is still smart, in fact, 'clear water' here means to clear water." ”

Hearing Grandma Tang say this, Liu Qiaopu almost took a sip of coffee on the table, but fortunately he took it back in time, and coughed twice as a response to 'praise'.

At this time, the wall clock on the wall had struck seven o'clock in the evening, and the maid in black came out of the room and said to the people, "Supper is ready, do you want to go and eat some?" ”

Yanagihashi Pu still stood up on behalf of everyone, and he replied to the maid with a debt: "Thank you for your kindness, but we have already eaten at the restaurant outside just now, huh...... Could you please help us get some hot water, thank you. ”

"Okay, I'll get it, I'll take everyone to the guest room after dinner, and please don't be too loud when you chat, the owner here is afraid of noise." The maid said plainly, just like a live-in maid. There was no expression on the thin face.

"Okay, definitely," Liu Qiaopu immediately said, "Thank you so much, and, please ask where the bathroom is?" ”

"I'm going out of this door and go all the way to the right and turn right." After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and entered the door, and Yanagihashi Pu also sat back in her original seat.

The door where the maid enters and exits is the door that says 'Leads to the guest room and the second floor' on the door sign.
