“What are you looking at, tiger head, Brother An?” Auntie led a few flamboyant cousins to the doorway, because women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so they just looked at the doorway, just in time to see Zhu Pingan looking at the top of the ancestral hall, a tiger-headed white bear child is still very attractive to the eye.
At first, Zhu Pingan didn’t react to the aunt was calling himself, he had been listening to swine long swine short since he was dressed, the first time I heard someone call Ange’er a moment didn’t react to it.
“An Ge’er?” Auntie called out again.
Zhu Pingan only then reacted to be called himself, Ange’er, this name can be better than the swine, in the Ming Dynasty what what brother what sister what name is quite common in the town, in the village is relatively rare. How, should be a kind of fashionable name it, when I used to read Jin Ping Mei, I have seen this kind of name.
“I’m looking to see if the ancestors will sit on the clouds to greet us.” Zhu Pingan turned his head, rapping formally.
In his position to seek his duty, as a child can only act well as a child.
“Pfft.” Auntie’s 8 year old cousin one didn’t hold back her laughter, her pink hand still cupping her show handkerchief and half covering her mouth, “Cousin won’t be a stupid one.”
Cousin wearing the light-colored painting skirt, laughing between the skirt wind moving like moonlight, ignorant loli first grow up.
The 1 year old first cousin of the great uncle’s family waved her hand and flicked her cousin’s forehead, laughing, “Hun, how could my cousin be a fool.”
“Children’s words blow away in a gale.” Auntie busily pooh-poohed and said, “Don’t be like that, Ange’er is smart, and will have to take the Scholarship Examination in the future, isn’t that right Ange’er?”
Auntie then teased Zhu Pingan.
The village children are dirty, the city children and no tiger head, so the tiger head of the white bear child is quite rare.
“Uh, yes.” Zhu Pingan thought about it and answered seriously.
LOL!
The several cousins laughed even more joyfully, and even auntie was amused by Zhu Pingan’s serious appearance.
I guess in their opinion, teasing a bear child or something is the most fun.
A few people can vigorously tease Zhu Pingan, especially the aunt’s grandmother is the most energetic, in the city and can not freely tease other people’s family’s bear child, and the first cousin is too old-fashioned, very similar to brother Da Chuan, can not be teased, teasing is also meaningless.
“Ange’er, Auntie asks you, did the chicken come first ah or did the egg come first ah?” Auntie
asked Zhu Pingan as he squatted in the doorway with great interest.
Isn’t it true that in every era adults would tease children with this question all the time.
In fact, whether there was a chicken first or an egg first is a fun question, and it is a logical proposition of the same kind as the white horse is not a horse. A chicken is a fowl and an egg is the egg of such a fowl. Nominally, the chicken is defined before the egg. Physically, if there is a chicken first, then where did the chicken come from, it hatched from the egg, and so it goes into a cycle of who was there first and who was there second, a game of adults teasing children.
Being teased is boring, but, pretending to be a bear child to tease others is another. In fact, the reality is not it, early in the morning you hold the oil shiny pet dog walk walk dog, do not know the pet dog’s psychology, “Oh, good morning, I came to walk shoveling again.”
Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, this has almost become Zhu Pingan’s habitual bad taste.
What comes first, the chicken or the egg?
“Grandmother first.” Zhu Pingan replied in a serious manner.
Pfft.
A group of women laughed in delight.
“Why was there a grandmother first, Ange?” Grandma asked.
“Because Grandmother is in charge of both the chickens and the eggs; if Grandmother buys the chickens first, our family will have the chickens first, and if Grandmother buys the eggs first, our family will have the eggs first.”
Auntie immediately looked at Zhu Pingan one more time, thought it was strange, because she had asked a lot of children before, every child was basically confused by her, this is the first time to hear such an answer.
Auntie vaguely felt that Zhu Pingan might be extraordinary in the future.
A few cousins were again amused by the words of Zhu Pingan giggle, really stupid, ask you first chicken or first egg, with your grandmother has anything to do with, can not help but feel that this tiger-headed cousin silly fun look, also not willing to weaken the tease up. What people why have two legs, what duck has two wings why will not fly ah and so on.
Zhu Pingan was also very cooperative with some words that made them laugh, but inside there were ten thousand grass mud horses running.
“Cousin might as well ask us a question as well.” Cousin’s head came up with a funnier idea to tease Zhu Pingan.
“Sister, is it okay if I don’t ask?” Zhu Pingan asked as his head shook.
“No, must ask oh.” Cousin smiled cheekily and head seriously.
“Alright then.” Zhu Pingan furrowed his brows and made a thoughtful look. Hearing that Zhu Pingan was going to ask a question, not only were the several cousins interested, even the auntie came over to listen.
What level of questions can you ask a bear child who just got rid of his crotchless pants? Zhu Pingan’s fight to not wear crotchless pants was also told as a joke by Chen to the aunties and grandmothers, and at the time, it amused a few people enough.
“Grandpa climbed the tree to pick strawberries, one day can pick a basket, two days can pick two baskets, then grandpa climbed the tree for three days can pick how many baskets of strawberries ah.”
Zhu Pingan lifted his head naively finished the question, a look of racking his brain.
A few cousins in the heart cut a sound, look at you so racking your brains, thought it was a difficult problem, did not think it was so easy. Also oh, count to three, for you to be very difficult, but for us to simply do not even more simple, okay.
“Oops, so simple oh, three baskets of strawberries.”
“Cousin is so stupid, grandpa can pick three baskets of strawberries in three days.”
Several cousins answered in unison, with an expression that the question was too simple and boring.
See, this is the gap, again IQ crushing ah.
Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Huh?
What, it’s not even right?
Several cousins are very incomprehensible, even the aunt and grandma do not quite understand, one day to pick a basket of strawberries, two days to pick two baskets of strawberries, three days is to pick three baskets of strawberries ah, how can it be incorrect ah, it can’t be that this guy has not mastered the addition and subtraction of three or less, right.
“How can it be wrong.” The 8-year-old cousin kept pursuing the question.
Zhu Pingan’s head turned 45 degrees upwards, rolled his eyes, and his tone was characterized by a child’s arrogance.
“Grandpa can’t pick a basket even if he climbs a tree.”
Hearing this answer, a few cousins definitely quit, especially the cousin straight that call impossible, Zhu Pingan messed up.
“What? How is it possible that a basket can’t be picked.”
“That’s right, if you grandpa lazy or something it’s no fun oh cousin.”
“It’s not good to be a cheater.”
As a result, Zhu Pingan’s head lifted even higher in a very stinky manner.
“Because the strawberries are the ground seedling knots, there are no strawberries on the tree, so grandpa can’t pick strawberries by climbing the tree.”
Upon hearing this, the several big lolitas looked at each other in disbelief and were speechless.
Zhu Pingan took the opportunity to sneak away, matter of Buddha’s clothes to go, deep hiding, but do not want to be asked again.
