My Wife Spoils Me Too Much (MWSMTM)

Chapter 70

When Grandpa Ji looked at Ji Xiao Zhuo’s face then at Nuo Nuo who was counting with her fingers seriously, he thought Ji Xiao Zhuo didn’t like arithmetic and didn’t want to learn. He frowned with concern and patted on Xiao Zhuo’s shoulder, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how, but you need to put in effort. Look at Nuo Nuo using her fingers to calculate, you should also follow her example to get results.”

Ji Xiao Zhuo took a glance at Nuo Nuo’s well-behaved manner and sighed. Then he also extended his chubby fingers to start calculating and slowly wrote the answers down.

Grandpa Ji was satisfied when he saw that the answers were correct.

Tang Tang, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but cover her face. She moved closer to Ji Yan’s ear and asked, “Dear, are you doing it on purpose? Why haven’t you told grandpa that these two are very smart?”

Stealthily, Ji Yan put a finger on her lips to indicate to her to keep it a secret. He smiled and answered quietly, “Ji Xiao Zhuo has always flaunted his intelligence and never listened properly in class. He should experience what it’s like to be a good student.”

Tang Tang couldn’t help but laugh secretly. This person is too playful! Would grandpa beat him if he finds out later?

Recalling his daddy’s instruction, Ji Xiao Zhuo listened earnestly and used his fingers to act like he was working out the question before writing down the answer he already knew ahead of time. He thought to himself that he was being very earnest and obedient. But no matter how obedient he was, he was still a child. After doing sums up to 10 for half an hour, his patience broke down. He didn’t even use his fingers anymore and he was giving off a ‘there was no point to life’ feeling.

Tang Tang felt like she couldn’t bear watching anymore.

Tapping on the table, Grandpa Ji spoke sternly, “Xiao Zhuo, it has only been 30 minutes. The lesson hasn’t ended yet. You can’t be so impatient. You need to persevere and work hard to accomplish things, and not have a brief moment of enthusiasm! Look at how much better Nuo Nuo is! You can’t even compare to a girl?”

Ji Xiao Zhuo looked at Nuo Nuo like she was a little fool. He propped his face with his hands and said with grief, “Great-grandpa, it’s not that I’m being impatient but the things you’re teaching are too easy. Can’t you teach something I haven’t learnt before?”

In response, Grandpa Ji blanked. He looked down at the textbook in his hands and confirmed the textbook was correct and the contents were something children had yet to learn. How can this be too easy?

“You’re saying you know how to do these?”

Ji Xiao Zhuo swayed his chubby legs and nodded dispiritedly.

Grandpa Ji was in disbelief. He thought Xiao Zhuo was most likely thinking of a way to goof off. So he purposely asked a difficult question, “Then tell me what is 29+34?”

Without blinking, Ji Xiao Zhuo answered instantly, “63.”

Grandpa Ji blanked again. Seeing the little one gave the answer without thinking, he couldn’t help but straighten his back as he carried on asking, “Then, what’s 92+67?”

Ji Xiao Zhuo sighed and replied lifelessly, “159.”

Grandpa Ji wrinkled his brows. He didn’t think the little one wanted to goof off anymore. The little one really knew the answers! Grandpa Ji probed, “Tell great-grandpa where you have learned up to?”

After thinking for a moment, Ji Xiao Zhuo replied, “I’ve learned up to three figures mental arithmetic of multiplication and division. Then daddy went on a mission and stopped teaching me. How about great-grandpa teach me instead?”
