BXBX NOVEL Chapter 374 - Little Girls Are Smart
In the bedroom of the Ye's house.
The three little girls were sitting with a worried and confused look on their faces as they pursed their lips while biting on the pencil while thinking.
It appeared like they were finding some cure for a rare disease.
But in fact, they were doing their homework.
"Mom, how do I do this problem?"
Xiao Ya asked while looking at Yuan Meng and crawled to her.
"Here, count the number of fingers for me first."
Yuan Meng nodded and then extended her palm to Xiao Ya.
"Hmm."
"One, two, three, ...ten."
The little girls counted all the fingers.
"Now tell me what is the first number you have been given?"
Yuan Meng nodded and then glanced at the book in Xiao Ya's hand.
"Mom, it's 9!"
The little girl exclaimed.
"Hmm."
Yuan Meng nodded and then closed her pinkie.
"Now, how many do I have?"
"It's nine."
The little girl quickly replied.
"Hmm. Now continued what do you have to do."
Yuan Meng nodded.
The little girl Xiao Ya was already bright for her age where children would barely be able to count numbers and she was able to do some simple math.
"I have to subtract 4 and then add 8 to it."
The little girl rubbed her chin and then nodded.
"Hmm, so now see, as I remove 4"
Saying that Yuan Meng removed 4 more fingers, now there were only 5 fingers of her right hand.
"Now we have left 5."
The little girls exclaimed.
Though she had been thought by her grandparents all this while and was able to do simple maths were easily the homework that her teacher had given yesterday was a lot troublesome.
"She had to add and then subtract or subtract and then add the numbers, making her confused as to what she must do first.
"Now you have to add 8 right?"
Yuan Meng was very patient while teaching even though she had a different method of using an abacus, she knew that Xiao Ya would be first more confused rather than do her homework with ease with this method.
As for the Abacus, Yuan Meng had thought of teaching the little girls after some time, when they didn't have much homework.
"Hmm."
"Now count with me as I add 8 more to the 5."
She removed all her fingers and continued.
"Xiao Ya, now just keep the number 5 in your mind and start counting."
"Ok, Mom."
The little girl nodded and stared at Yuan Meng's hand with wide eyes.
"Six, seven...thirteen."
The little girl then counted 8 more numbers as she saw the number of fingers.
"So the total number is 13."
The little girl's eyes shone with light as she saw how easy this method that her mom thought to her was when compared to her teacher's.
"Mom, you are the best, Teacher thought me for so long but I was not able to understand how to do it, but with Mom, I learned so quickly."
Xiao Ya exclaimed while staring at Yuan Meng with starry eyes.
"Hehe, that is because my Xiao Ya is smart and learns very quickly."
Yuan Meng chuckled and then patted Xiao Ya's head as she made her sit beside her as the little girl continued to do her homework without as much trouble as she faced before.
Meanwhile, in the other place on the bed.
Little Qiqi was writing in her notebook.
She seemed to have been writing the same words for quite a long time and it appeared like that was what the homework was about.
She continued to write the whole page, by now she had written about 2 pages already and Ye Qian would always glance at her face as she diligently wrote down the words.
By her side was Ning Wei who would help her pronounce the words properly before she started onto a new word.
Ye Qian understood that this was homework given to Little Qiqi by her teacher for increasing their vocabulary and their writing.
But Ye Qian's face was dark all the time the three girls did their homework.
And seeing his dark face Yuan Meng and Ning Wei would giggle while trying hard to not laugh out loud and disturb the girls who were doing their homework very carefully and ardently.
While next to Ye Qian himself was Little Jia, she was writing down the mathematical tables which made Ye Qian look at her with worry.
'How can the teachers be so cruel, Jia is just in class first and she had given homework to do mathematical tables?'
Little Jia had been also doing the same exercise just like Little Qiqi just that the subject was different.
Here while Little Qiqi had to repeat down the words a whole lot of times.
Next to Ye Qian, Little Jia had to write mathematical tables from 1 to 10 numerous times.
Ye Qian in fact felt sad for the little girls who were being forced to do such tedious homework.
"Hehe, Papa, doesn't need to feel bad, this is the homework given to everyone and it is still not that hard to do, it just takes a long time."
"But it is very helpful in later studies, I have seen the later syllabus where this will be very much needed to do the calculations."
Seeing Ye Qian's sullen face, Little Jia shook her head and pinched his cheek lightly.
"My little girls are really very smart."
Ye Qian chuckled and patted her head while giving a pat to the other two since they were also eagerly waiting for it.
Ye Qian sighed in his heart while looking at how quickly the girls went back to do their homework and understood that they were really diligent.
He decided to not disturb them and sat with his legs folded and started meditating.
There was no need for him to meddle in between their studies and that would only make them work for a long time if he were to cause disturbance to them.
