Little brat

Half a year passed quickly, and Su Hao had grown a little taller. From his original three - year - old height, he had reached the height of a three - and - a - half - year - old.

Su Hao thought this was definitely unreasonable. Over the past year or so, he had been very careful about a balanced and rich diet. He should have grown taller and stronger, shouldn't he?

"Where did all the meat I ate this year go?"

He even suspected that the "The Strongest Infant Nutrition Formula in History" recorded in the Marble Space was a hoax, but the words "recommended by experts" marked below should be reliable, right?

Su Hao put aside his thoughts and glanced at Wu Yuntian sitting beside him. Since Su Hao mentioned learning martial arts to him half a year ago, he had been going out early and coming back late. Su Hao didn't know what he was busy with. Every night when he came back, he could barely say two words to Su Hao. After a hasty meal, he would go to sleep.

That night, after having dinner, Wu Yuntian was about to get up and leave. Su Hao quickly said, "Father, what about teaching me martial arts as you promised? Half a year has passed. When shall we start?"

Wu Yuntian paused, as if he had just suddenly remembered this matter. He looked at his son and said slowly, "Oh, that. Let's start tomorrow. Meet me at the threshing ground early tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Su Hao nodded firmly, his eyes shining brighter and brighter in the light of the fire.

Early the next morning, Su Hao came to the threshing ground in the small stockade, which was specially used for drying grains. He didn't see his father, but he saw a little girl around four years old leading two little boys walking towards him. The little girl had two pigtails that jumped up and down. She had a delicate appearance, with round and bright eyes. It was obvious that she was a beauty in the making. The two little boys seemed to be at least five years old, a head taller than her. They were chubby and sturdy. At the moment, they were following the little girl's lead, like two little followers.

As soon as Su Hao saw these three little kids, his temples started to ache faintly. Little kids were the most annoying.

The little girl was called He Qingqing. She was the daughter of He Jianyong, the leader of the Chashan Outpost, that is, the captain of the garrison soldiers' team at the Chashan Outpost. Captain He Jianyong had great prestige in this area. He was a man of his word. One could imagine how special his daughter's status was. No one would not give this little girl some face. Moreover, He Qingqing herself was sweet - looking and cute, and she was very articulate. She was really a beloved figure in the small stockade, highly regarded by everyone.

In front of adults, He Qingqing was a well - behaved girl, but among a group of little kids, she played the role of the big sister.

The two followers behind her were also the sons of the soldiers at the Chashan Outpost. The taller one with a runny nose was Lu Hongtao, and the chubby and white one was Li Cunzhi. These two had some ulterior motives. They hung around He Qingqing every day, obeying her every word. They looked like sycophants. Were they trying to develop a childhood sweetheart relationship?

With these two, Su Hao estimated that in a few years, they would end up with nothing.

"Xiangwu, what are you doing? Come on, let's go catch fish in the brook!" He Qingqing walked up to Su Hao, acting like a little grown - up.

Su Hao immediately shook his head and refused, "No, go ahead. I won't see you off."

He Qingqing put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Wu Xiangwu, how dare you refuse me? Do you believe I'll ask Nose - Tao and Fatty to beat you up?"

Lu Hongtao, the one with a runny nose, and Li Cunzhi, the fatty, immediately took a step forward, their eyes full of provocation and eagerness. This kid Wu Xiangwu was very slippery. They had never beaten him before. They were really looking forward to it.

Su Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and said fearlessly, "Miss Qingqing, I'm not refusing you. It's just that I never play with idiots. If you want me to play with you, you need to prove that you're not idiots first."

The three of them were so angry by Su Hao's words that their faces turned red. Nose - Tao and Fatty were about to step forward to teach Su Hao a lesson, but He Qingqing stopped them. She wrinkled her cute nose and retorted, "I'm not an idiot!"

The two little followers immediately echoed.

"Neither are we!" "Nor am I!"

Su Hao nodded in agreement and said, "I can see that. But you need to prove it. Have you thought about the question I asked you yesterday?"

He Qingqing immediately said proudly and loudly, "Of course. Such a simple question can't stump me."

Su Hao looked at her in disbelief and said, "Really? Then I'll ask again. What's 5 + 7?"

He Qingqing quickly answered, "12, it's 12. Am I right?" Then she folded her arms proudly, waiting for Su Hao to praise her.

Su Hao looked at her in surprise and praised, "Oh, not bad, Miss Qingqing."

"That's right! Since I've proved I'm not an idiot, come on, play with us!" He Qingqing invited eagerly. She desperately hoped that Su Hao would join her and become her brainy follower.

Su Hao shook his head again and said, "Although you've answered it, so much time has passed. This doesn't count."

He Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why doesn't it count? Then what should we do?"

"As usual, I'll give you another question. If you can answer it, it proves you're not idiots, and I'll play with you."

He Qingqing said hesitantly, "You can't make it too difficult."

Su Hao nodded.

He Qingqing added another condition, "No arithmetic questions."

Su Hao still nodded.

Then He Qingqing wrinkled her nose and said nervously, "Okay, ask then!"

"Listen carefully. The questions I ask are very simple, and you should know the answers." Seeing that the three of them were listening intently, Su Hao cleared his throat and said, "So, what kind of person can't see a doctor when they're sick?"

He Qingqing rolled her eyes and immediately replied confidently, "This is easy. I know. It's bad people. Doctors won't treat bad people when they're sick."

But Su Hao shook his head and said, "Wrong, but you're getting close to the correct answer."

"Wrong? Then what is it?"

"You have to figure it out yourself."

He Qingqing turned to ask Nose - Tao and Fatty, "You answer."

Fatty stammered and couldn't say a word for a long time. Nose - Tao just kept sniffing his nose.

"You two idiots." He Qingqing stamped her foot in anger. She guessed a few more answers, but all were rejected by Su Hao. She was so anxious that she was almost in tears. Finally, she glared at Su Hao fiercely.

"Wu Xiangwu, you wait for me. I will figure it out." With these harsh words, she left.

The two little followers were shocked and said, "Qingqing, aren't we going to catch fish?"

He Qingqing replied, "No. Only idiots go fishing."

Nose - Tao was at a loss. He turned to Fatty and asked, "Fatty, are we still going fishing?"

After Fatty replied "idiot" to Nose - Tao, he chased after He Qingqing and shouted loudly, "Qingqing, wait for me. I'll think with you."

Nose - Tao turned around, glared at Su Hao fiercely, and then ran towards He Qingqing, shouting, "Me too, me too!"

"Phew~ They're finally gone!" For Su Hao, dealing with little kids was even more difficult than dealing with a thesis. If it were his younger brother Luo Chaoxin in his previous life bothering him like this, he would have taken action. But now, with his thin arms and legs, he couldn't win a fight. If he could, he definitely wouldn't waste his breath.

...

A moment later, Wu Yuntian suddenly appeared beside Su Hao and asked curiously, "What kind of person can't see a doctor when they're sick?"

Su Hao was left speechless. What was an old man like him doing getting involved in this kind of question for fooling kids?
