Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 11 Who is teasing who?

"Brother Ang, what are you looking at?" My aunt led a few pretty cousins ​​to the door, because women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so they just looked around at the door of the ancestral hall, and happened to see Zhu Pingan looking at the top of the ancestral hall It is delicious, and it is undeniable that the cute and cute appearance of the white bear with a tiger head and a tiger brain is still very eye-catching.

  At first, Zhu Pingan didn't realize that his aunt was calling him. He had been listening to the long and the small and the short. The first time he heard someone called Angle, he didn't realize it for a while.

   "Brother An?" My aunt called again.

   Only then did Zhu Pingan realize that he was calling himself, Brother An, which sounds much nicer than Xiaozhu. In the Ming Dynasty, such names as brothers and sisters 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 "Dream of Red Mansions".

   "I'm looking to see if our ancestors will sit on the clouds and greet us." Zhu Ping'an turned his head and said formally.

   Looking for a job in his position, as a child, he can only play a good role as a child.

   "Pfft." The 8-year-old cousin of my little aunt's family couldn't help laughing, her pink hand was still pinching the handkerchief to cover her little mouth, "Isn't my little cousin a fool?"

  The pink pleated skirt worn by the little cousin, the skirt trembles slightly with the laughter, very beautiful, ignorant loli has just grown up.

  The 12-year-old eldest cousin of the uncle’s family waved her plain hand, flicked the little cousin’s forehead lightly, and said with a smile, “Say, how can the little cousin be stupid.”

   "Children's words are not taboo, the strong wind blows away." The aunt hurriedly poohed, and said, "Don't say that, Brother An is smart, and he will take the No. 1 Scholar exam in the future, isn't it Brother An?"

  My aunt teased Zhu Ping'an as she spoke.

  The children in the village are all dirty, and the children in the city don't have thick heads. It's rare to see such white and clean children.

   "Well, yes." Zhu Pingan thought for a while and answered seriously.

   giggling

  The cousins ​​laughed more happily, and even the aunt was amused by Zhu Pingan's serious appearance.

   It is estimated that in their opinion, teasing bear children is the most interesting.

Just a few people can tease Zhu Ping'an vigorously, especially my aunt is the most active. In the city, I can't tease other people's children at will, and my cousin is too old-fashioned, very similar to Dachuan brother, so I can't make fun , It's also meaningless to tease.

   "Brother An, my aunt asked you, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" The aunt squatted at the door with great interest and asked Zhu Ping'an.

   Is it true that adults in every generation will use this question to amuse children?

   In fact, which came first, the chicken or the egg, is an interesting question, and it is a logical proposition like a white horse or a non-horse. A chicken is a type of poultry and an egg is the eggs of this type of poultry. In terms of nouns, the chicken is defined first, and then there are eggs. From a physical point of view, if there is a chicken first, where did the chicken come from? It hatched from an egg, so it enters a cycle, whoever has it first, and whoever has it last, it is adults teasing children Games.

  It's boring to be teased by others, but it's another matter to pretend to be a bear to tease others. In fact, it is not the case in reality. In the early morning, you take your shiny pet dog for a walk, but you don’t know the psychology of the pet dog, "Oh, good morning, brother golden retriever, sister Erha, I’m here again for a walk. .”

  Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has almost become a habit of Zhu Pingan.

   Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

   "Grandma came first." Zhu Ping'an answered solemnly.

   poof

  A group of women laughed happily.

   "Why is there a grandmother first, Brother Ang?" asked the aunt.

  “Because grandma is in charge of both chickens and eggs. If grandma buys chickens first, our family will have chickens first. If grandma buys eggs first, our family will have eggs first.”

  My aunt immediately took a second look at Zhu Pingan, and was very surprised, because she had asked many children before, and almost every child was stunned by her. This was the first time she heard such an answer.

  My aunt vaguely felt that Zhu Ping'an might be unusual in the future.

The little cousins ​​were amused by Zhu Ping'an's words again, they are really silly boys, what does it have to do with your grandmother when you ask whether you have the chicken or the egg first, I can't help but feel that this tiger-headed little cousin is silly and funny The appearance, not to be outdone, amused. Why do people have two legs, why do ducks have two wings, and why can't they fly?

  Zhu Ping'an also cooperated and said some things that made them laugh, but there were ten thousand mud horses running in his heart.

   "Little cousin, why don't you ask us a question too." The little cousin nodded her head 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 grinned and nodded seriously.

   "Okay then." Zhu Pingan frowned, pretending to be thinking.

  Hearing that Zhu Ping'an wanted to ask questions, not only the cousins ​​were very interested, but even the aunt and grandma came to listen.

  You, a brat who just got rid of crotch pants, can you ask what level of questions, Zhu Pingan's fight for not wearing crotch pants was also told by Chen as a joke to his aunts and grandma, and they were so funny at the time.

   "Grandpa climbs a tree to pick strawberries. He can pick one basket in one day and two baskets in two days. How many baskets of strawberries can grandpa climb in three days?"

  Zhu Ping'an raised his head and finished talking about the question in a naive manner, with a look of racking his brains.

   A few little cousins ​​thought in their hearts. Seeing you racking your brains so hard, you thought it was a difficult question, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. That's right, counting to three is very difficult for you, but it shouldn't be any easier for us, okay?

   "Oh, it's so simple, just three baskets of strawberries."

   "Little 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.

  Look, this is the gap, another IQ crush.

   Zhu Pingan shook his head.

Huh?

  What, it's not right?

My cousins ​​didn’t understand, even my aunt didn’t understand. Picking one basket of strawberries a day, picking two baskets of strawberries in two days, picking three baskets of strawberries in three days, how could it be wrong? Did not master the addition and subtraction.

   "What's wrong." The 8-year-old cousin kept asking.

  Zhu Ping'an turned his head up 45 degrees, rolled his eyes, and spoke with the typical arrogance of a child.

   "Grandpa climbed a tree and couldn't pick a basket."

  After hearing this answer, several cousins ​​definitely quit, especially the little cousin said that it was impossible, saying that Zhu Pingan was acting recklessly.

   "What is it, how can I not pick a basket."

   "That's right, if you say grandpa is lazy or something, it's meaningless, little cousin."

   "It's not a good child's paper to play tricks."

   As a result, Zhu Ping'an's head was raised higher, looking very stinky.

   "Because strawberries are planted on the ground and there are no strawberries on the tree, so grandpa can't pick strawberries by climbing the tree."

  Hearing the words, several big and small **** looked at each other, speechless.

  Zhu Ping'an took the opportunity to slip away, put away his Buddhist attire, and hid his achievements and fame deeply, so he didn't want to be asked any more.
