"Grandpa, grandpa, there is my brother Tiao Tiao in "Bamboo Wind", and my brother Chengcheng, why is there not me?" My five-year-old grandson asked me happily while looking through my anthology "Bamboo Wind".
"Oh, really, the printing factory printed it off, right?" I could only fool him. His grandma reminded me a long time ago that you wrote about Chengcheng and Tiaotiao in the book, but not about Happy. Be careful that Happy will complain about you when he grows up. When "Bamboo Wind" was published, due to the tight schedule and tedious review process, I was exhausted and did not bother to write about Happy. In addition, I really looked down on Xiao Happy, fearing that I would not be able to write about his unique personality.
What I’m wondering about is when did Kaixin become literate and can he accurately pronounce Zhufeng, Chengcheng, and Tiaotiao?
It seems that I have to write a pen specifically for Comrade Kaixin, otherwise this guy will come to me to settle accounts after he grows up, and he will really be left with nothing to eat.
His brother Liu Jinqi (Tiaotiao), his eyes narrowed like two curved moon buds when he smiled, looked quiet and delicate. But he has a tiger-like appearance and a carefree look. Although both brothers have fair skin, he looks whiter, with a different color all over his body. His eyes are bigger, and the corners of his mouth are curled up, exuding a foreign air, like a European doll. I joked to my daughter that you two children, one talented and one talented, are a pair of treasures given to you by God. You should cherish them.
’s happy birthday happens to be December 26th, which is an extraordinary day in China. I named him Liu Zeqi. His name is connected with his elder brother, and has both earth and water. I hope that his land will be nourished by the rain and dew of a generation of great men, and I hope that he can also get a little bit of the domineering power of the founding leader.
Kaixin is the second child. Because his daughter and son-in-law are busy with work and the pace of life in Zhengzhou is fast, no one has time to pamper him. Kaixin has not enjoyed the treatment of his brother Tiaotiao since he was a child, which actually strengthened his hands-on and adaptability. Kaixin has been eating by himself since he was a child. He just puts on his dining clothes and puts them in the dining chair. He grabs the food with his little hands and stuffs it into his mouth, leaving food everywhere. When the adults finish eating, he is also full, and his face is covered with colorful colors, like a costume actor with makeup. He is naturally good at eating and enjoys eating meat, eggs, and milk. After attending kindergarten on Puhui Road in Zhengzhou, his teacher praised him for eating with ease and eating quickly and cleanly.
Once I didn't have enough chicken legs, so I went to the kitchen and asked the chef for it. The chef liked it very much and said that this kid is really good. He ate from the restaurant to the kitchen and gave me another one as a gift. Not only does he have a good appetite, he is not picky about food, he has good digestion, he is active, and rarely accumulates food. Therefore, he looks like a tiger, is healthy, walks early, talks early, and is especially easy to take care of.
Kaixin has been very individual since he was a baby. He likes to play by himself. When he is happy, he will sing with great emotion and reach the peak of his voice. When he is sad, he will cry until the sky is dark and the sun and the moon are dim. Even as a "little baby", he can practice his voice like Daolang . He loves to talk and has a sweet mouth. He will talk to everyone he meets and will call you by your age. He is very popular and makes everyone happy when he meets him. Everyone in the community knows him and calls him "Pistachio", saying that he can play, make trouble and talk. As time goes by, Happy has become his name.
Don’t look down upon a happy person, but he has a lot of clever ideas. Kaixin likes to play with her brother Tiaotiao. The two children often fight so much that they make the house a mess and interfere with Tiaotiao's homework. In order to manage them, the daughter used a piece of bamboo as a ruler. Anyone who made a mistake would be slapped with the ruler and forced to stand at attention against the wall for 10 minutes. The ruler became a thorn in the eyes of the two children. They were happy and got into trouble that day. The daughter could not find the ruler anywhere. In the end, during the interrogation, it was discovered that Kaixin had hidden it.
After the summer vacation, Kaixin and Tiaotiao came back from Zhengzhou, and I discovered that Kaixin really had a lot of tricks. He wanted to eat ham sausage, but he was worried that he would not be allowed to eat snacks, so he said in a roundabout way:
"Grandpa, this ham sausage is almost past its shelf life. Let Tiao Tiao eat one and try it." It made everyone laugh.
I said: "You can eat it."
After he finished eating the ham sausage, he lured Chengcheng and said, "Guan Gong's sword is so fun." Chengcheng clamored and said, "I want to buy a big knife." I took the three children to the toy store and each bought a plastic sword. Kaixin said to Chengcheng again, "Guan Gong can also ride a horse and shoot archery." They were clamoring for bows and arrows, so I bought another bow and arrow for each of them. On the way home, Kaixin saw ice cream at the door of the roadside shop, and asked me if the ice cream was hot. I said if you want to eat it, let's buy some. "
My daughter said that she was happy to be able to read by herself. She was also interested in numbers and could help adults calculate accounts. I still didn't believe it. I only knew that when Tiaotiao was reading, he would pretend to sit with "Four-Five Quick Reading", "Four-Five Quick Calculation" or other books and flip through them. I always thought he was... I was looking at the picture. He was just over five years old. He was in the middle class of kindergarten. How many words could he read in the ant urine book? Hearing is false, seeing is believing. This time he came to my house and I wanted to conduct an on-site assessment on him. I randomly wrote 100 common words, one point for each word, but unexpectedly he read 96 correctly and scored 96 points. What is 7 plus 45? He stared and thought for a moment before saying, 82. I also asked how much 40 balls were for 3 yuan a ball, and he answered 120 yuan. It was really beyond my expectation. His parents were busy at work, and no one had ever deliberately taught him. How did he learn it?
In the evening, I was writing "Happiness", and my daughter sent me a video. I saw that Kaixin was reading Zheng Yuanjie 's fairy tale collection " The Legend of Pipilu ". He also said to the camera seriously: "Grandpa, be careful of the virus . "This guy is getting more and more excited as he talks. The mouse pulls the shovel - the big head is at the back. Haha.
It seems that little Happy is not only noisy and playful, but also likes to learn. He is also rough and fine, and he also has some talents. Could it be that a child prodigy is really going to appear among my grandchildren?
said With that said, December 26, 2022 is coming, just this text, written for Happy’s 6th birthday.
