Chapter 11 Who teased whom?

"Ang'er, you big-headed, what are you looking at?" The aunt led a few cousins ​​who were dressed up to the door. Because women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, they just looked at the door. They happened to see Zhu Ping'an looking at the top of the ancestral hall with great interest. The big-headed, white-skinned child was still very eye-catching.

At first, Zhu Ping'an didn't react that the aunt was calling him. He had always heard people calling him "Zhu'er" and "Xiao Zhu'er". It was the first time he heard someone calling him "Ang'er" and he didn't react for a while.

"Ang'er?" The aunt called again.

Zhu Ping'an then realized that she was calling him "Ang'er". This name was much better than "Xiao Zhu". In the Ming Dynasty, names like "Brother" and "Sister" were quite common in towns, but relatively rare in villages. How should I put it? It should be a fashionable name. I have seen this name when I read Jin Ping Mei before.

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

Do your job, as a child, you can only act like a child well.

"Puchi." The 8-year-old cousin from my aunt's family couldn't help laughing, her pink hands pinching the handkerchief and half covering her mouth, "Cousin, won't be stupid?"

The pink pleated skirt worn by the cousin trembled slightly with laughter, very beautiful, a young and ignorant girl growing up.

The 12-year-old cousin from my uncle's family waved her bare hands, flicked the cousin's forehead lightly, and laughed, "How can my cousin be stupid?"

"Children's words are innocent, and they are blown away by the wind." My aunt said, "Don't say that, An Ge'er is smart, and he will take the top exam in the future, right, An Ge'er?"

My aunt teased Zhu Ping'an as she spoke.

Children in the village are all dirty, and children in the city are not chubby. It is rare to see such a chubby, fair-skinned child.

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

Hehehe

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

It is probably the most interesting thing for them to tease the naughty children.

Several people teased Zhu Pingan with all their strength, especially the aunt. 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 it's hard to tease him, and it's boring to tease him.

"Ang'er, auntie asks you, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" The auntie squatted at the door and asked Zhu Pingan with interest.

Do adults in every generation use this question to tease children?

In fact, which came first, the chicken or the egg? This is an interesting question, and it is the same logical proposition as "a white horse is not a horse". The chicken is a kind of poultry, and the egg is the egg of this kind of poultry. In terms of nouns, the chicken is defined first, and then the egg. In terms of objects, if the chicken came first, where did the chicken come from? It was hatched from eggs, so it would enter a cycle. Who came first and who came later is a little game for adults to tease children.

It is boring to be teased by others, but it is another matter to pretend to be a naughty child to tease others. In fact, it is the same 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 Teddy, I'm here to walk the shit shovel again."

Playing the pig to eat the tiger has almost become Zhu Ping'an's habit of bad taste.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

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

Puff

A group of women laughed so hard that they couldn't help laughing.

"Why did your grandmother come first, An Ge'er?" asked the aunt.

"Because whether it was chickens or eggs, it was your grandmother who was in charge. If your grandmother bought chickens first, we would have chickens first. If your grandmother bought eggs first, we would have eggs first."

The aunt immediately looked at Zhu Ping'an and was surprised because she had asked many children before and every child was basically confused by her. This was the first time she had heard such an answer.

The aunt vaguely felt that Zhu Ping'an might be extraordinary in the future.

Several little cousins ​​were amused by Zhu Ping'an's words. What a silly boy. Asking you whether chickens or eggs came first, what does it have to do with your grandmother? They couldn't help but think that this chubby little cousin was silly and funny, and they also started to tease him. Why do people have two legs? Why can't ducks fly if they have two wings? And so on.

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

"Little cousin, why don't you ask us a question too." The little cousin nodded and thought of a more interesting idea to tease Zhu Ping'an.

"Sister, can I not ask?" Zhu Ping'an shook his little head and asked seriously.

"No, you must ask." The little cousin smiled and nodded seriously.

"Okay then." Zhu Ping'an frowned and pretended to be thinking.

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

What level of questions can you, a naughty child who just got rid of open-crotch pants, ask? Zhu Ping'an's struggle to not wear open-crotch pants was also told to the aunt and others as a joke by Chen, and it made several people laugh at it.

"Grandpa climbs trees to pick strawberries. He can pick one basket a day, two baskets in two days. So how many baskets of strawberries can he pick in three days?"

Zhu Pingan raised his head and finished the question, looking like he was racking his brains.

Several little cousins ​​choked in their hearts. Seeing you racking your brains, they thought it was a difficult question, but it was so easy. That's right. Counting to three is very difficult for you, but it can't be any easier for us.

"Oh, it's so simple, 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, looking like 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?

Several cousins ​​didn't understand, even my aunt didn't quite understand, one basket of strawberries a day, two baskets of strawberries in two days, three baskets of strawberries in three days, how could it be wrong, could it be that this little guy didn't even master addition and subtraction within three?

"Why is it wrong?" The 8-year-old cousin kept asking.

Zhu Ping'an raised his head 45 degrees, rolled his eyes, and his tone was also full of the arrogance of a child.

"Grandpa couldn't even pick a basket even if he climbed the tree."

Hearing this answer, several cousins ​​were definitely not happy, especially the little cousin who said it was impossible and said Zhu Ping'an was messing around.

"What? How could he not pick a basket?"

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

"Playing tricks is not a good child."

As a result, Zhu Ping'an raised his head even higher, looking very arrogant.

"Because strawberries grow on the ground, there are no strawberries on the trees, so grandpa can't climb the tree to pick them."

Hearing this, several little girls looked at each other and were speechless.

Zhu Pingan took the opportunity to slip away, and left after completing his work, hiding his merits and fame, and didn't want to be questioned again.
