"Brother An, you are such a tough guy, what are you looking at?" My aunt led several beautiful cousins to the door. Because women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, they just looked around at the door. They happened to see Zhu Pingan looking at something above the ancestral hall. It's delicious, and the fair-skinned little boy with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain is still very eye-catching.
At first, Zhu Ping'an didn't realize that his aunt was calling him. He had been hearing the pig's length and the pig's short since he was wearing it. It was the first time he heard someone call him An Ge'er and he didn't react for a while.
"Brother An?" Auntie called again.
Only then did Zhu Ping'an realize that he was calling himself Brother An, which sounded much nicer than Xiao Zhi. In the Ming Dynasty, titles such as brother and sister were quite common in towns, but relatively rare in villages. How should I put it? It should be a fashionable title. I have seen this title before when I watched Jin Ping Mei.
"I was wondering if our ancestors would sit in the clouds and greet us." Zhu Pingan turned his head and said formally.
To find a job in his position, as a child, you can only play a good role as a child.
"Pfft." My aunt's 8-year-old cousin couldn't help but laugh. She held the showkerchief in her pink hands and half covered her mouth. "My little cousin is not stupid, is he?"
The pink pleated skirt worn by the little cousin, the hem of the skirt trembled slightly with laughter, was very beautiful, and the ignorant loli had just grown up.
The 12-year-old eldest cousin of my uncle's family waved her bare hand, flicked her little cousin's forehead, and said with a smile, "Hun, how can my little cousin be so stupid?"
"Children's words are unbridled, and the strong wind blows away." My aunt hurriedly sighed and said, "Don't say that, Brother An is very smart, and he will take the top prize in the future, isn't he?"
The aunt teased Zhu Ping'an as she spoke.
The children in the village are all dirty, and the children in the city are not as tough as a tiger. It is quite rare to see a fair and clean kid like this.
"Well, yes." Zhu Pingan thought for a while and answered seriously.
Giggles
The cousins laughed even more happily, and even my aunt was amused by Zhu Ping'an's serious look.
I guess in their opinion, teasing naughty children is the most interesting thing.
A few people can try to tease Zhu Ping'an, especially the aunt who is the most enthusiastic. In the city, you can't tease other people's naughty children at will, and the eldest cousin is too old-fashioned, very similar to Brother Dachuan, so he can't tease him. , it’s not interesting to tease.
"Brother An, my aunt asked you, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" My aunt squatted at the door with interest and asked Zhu Ping'an.
Do adults of every generation tease children with this question?
In fact, which came first, the chicken or the egg? This is a fun question, and it is the same kind of logical proposition as whether the white horse is not a horse. Chicken is a kind of poultry, and eggs are the eggs of this poultry. From a noun perspective, the chicken is defined first, and then the egg. Physically speaking, if the chicken comes first, then where does the chicken come from? It hatches from an egg. In this way, it enters a cycle. Who comes first and who comes last is how adults tease children. novel.
Being teased by others is boring, but pretending to be a naughty kid to tease others is another matter. In fact, it is not the case in reality. You take your shiny pet dog for a walk in the early morning. How do you know the psychology of the pet dog? "Oh, good morning, brother golden retriever and sister teddy, I am here to walk the poop shoveler again. .”
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has almost become Zhu Pingan's habit.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
"Grandma first." Zhu Pingan answered seriously.
Poof
A group of women laughed heartily.
"Why is there grandmother first, Brother An?" asked my aunt.
“Because whether it’s chickens or eggs, grandma is in charge. If grandma buys chickens first, our family will have chickens first. If grandma buys eggs first, our family will have eggs first.”
The aunt immediately looked at Zhu Pingan and was surprised, because she had asked many children before, and every child was basically confused by her. This was the first time she heard such an answer.
My aunt had a vague feeling that Zhu Ping'an might be unusual in the future.
The little cousins were amused by Zhu Pingan's words and giggled again. What a silly boy. Asking you which came first, the chicken or the egg, what does it have to do with your grandmother? They couldn't help but think that this little cousin with a tiger head and a tiger brain was so silly and funny. He seemed to be amused, not to be outdone. Why do humans have two legs? Why do ducks have two wings and why they can’t fly?
Zhu Pingan also cooperated and said some words that made them laugh, but there were ten thousand grass and mud horses running in his heart.
"How about asking us a question, little cousin." The little cousin nodded and thought of a more fun idea to tease Zhu Pingan.
"Sister, is it okay if I don't ask?" Zhu Pingan shook his head and asked seriously.
"No, you must ask." The little cousin smiled and nodded seriously.
"Okay then." Zhu Pingan frowned and looked like he was thinking.
When they heard that Zhu Pingan was going to ask a question, not only the cousins were very interested, but even the great aunt came over to listen.
What kind of questions can you, a naughty kid who just got rid of crotchless pants, ask? Zhu Pingan's struggle not to wear crotchless pants was also told by Chen as a joke to her aunt and the others, and she even made a few people laugh at that time.
"Grandpa climbs the tree to pick strawberries. He can pick one basket in one day and two baskets in two days. How many baskets can he pick in three days?"
Zhu Pingan raised his head and finished the question innocently, looking like he was racking his brains.
The little cousins made a sound in their hearts. Seeing you racking your brains so hard, they thought it was a difficult question, but they didn't expect it to be so easy. That's right. Counting to three is very difficult for you, but it shouldn't be easy for us, okay?
"Oh, it's so simple, just three baskets of strawberries."
"My little cousin is so stupid. Grandpa can pick three baskets of strawberries in three days."
Several cousins answered in unison, with expressions that the question was too simple and boring.
Look, this is the gap and the IQ crushing.
Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Huh?
What, it’s not right?
Several cousins don’t understand, and even my aunt doesn’t understand. They pick one basket of strawberries in one day, two baskets of strawberries in two days, and three baskets of strawberries in three days. How could it be wrong? This little guy can’t be less than three. You haven't even mastered addition and subtraction.
"What's wrong?" the 8-year-old cousin kept asking.
Zhu Pingan raised his head 45 degrees, rolled his eyes, and his tone was filled with the unique arrogance of a child.
"Grandpa climbed the tree and couldn't pick a basket."
After hearing this answer, several cousins must quit, especially the younger cousin who said it was impossible and said Zhu Ping'an was messing around.
"What? How can I not pick even a basket?"
"That's right. It would be meaningless if you said grandpa was lazy or something, little cousin."
"It's not a good boy to cheat."
As a result, Zhu Pingan raised his head even higher, looking like a fart.
"Because strawberries are grown from seedlings on the ground and there are no strawberries on the trees, so grandpa can't climb the trees to pick strawberries."
Hearing this, several young and old girls looked at each other, speechless.
Zhu Pingan took the opportunity to slip away, take care of the Buddha's robes, and hide his merits and fame, but he didn't want to be asked anymore.
