The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 123 Twelve Points

"Oh, Huazi, you really surprised me." Li Huaide said with a smile: "It's okay that you have excellent skills, but I didn't expect you can also cook."

"It's just a home-cooked meal." Liu Hua said modestly, "I can't compare with Sha Zhu. He is a chef with a long tradition. I can only cook home-cooked meals."

"If you can cook the usual dishes well, that's the real test of your skill." Li Huaide said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, I'll wait for you to cook new dishes for me. I want to see what Hua Zi's specialties are."

Sha Zhu nodded, but asked in confusion: "Since you want to see Huazi's special skills, why do you let me do it?"

"Hua Zi is an engineer, so it would be a waste of his talent to ask him to cook for me. You are a cook, so it is more appropriate for you to cook. Of course, I don't look down on cooks, but the division of labor is different, and we are all equal."

The jeep dropped the two people off at the entrance of the alley. Sha Zhu followed Liu Hua carrying a lot of bags. Liu Hua was handsome and elegant, while Sha Zhu was mature and honest. It was like a rich young man taking a young boy shopping.

When the two men entered the gate, a paper plane flew from a distance and was about to hit Liu Hua's head, but he grabbed it.

There was no child in the yard. It was probably because the child had flown to the roof before and was blown down by the wind. Liu Hua was going to roll it up and take it home to use for lighting the stove.

But when he took a glance, he found that there were words on the paper, so driven by curiosity, he took apart the paper airplane.

It turned out to be a test paper with countless crosses and only a few ticks on it. Looking at the name column, the words "Jia Geng" were clearly written on it.

It turned out to be the widow Qin's son. Looking at the score again, it was twelve points. This was a math test paper. Liu Hua took a quick look at it and found that the ones with ticks were basically extremely simple addition and subtraction. The slightly more complicated ones were all crossed out.

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Bang Geng is simply an amazing person."

Sha Zhu frowned and asked, "Bang Geng, Shen Ren, what's wrong? Is he also imitating his grandmother's magic tricks?"

"No." Liu Hua handed the test paper to Sha Zhu and said, "Look, this is the test paper of this kid."

Sha Zhu took a look and said, "12 points. When I was in school, I didn't do so badly on the test. Although I failed, I could at least get around 40 or 50 points, and occasionally I could pass."

"This is not going to school." Liu Hua shook his head. "This is like throwing Widow Qin's money into the water. At least it makes a sound. This kid can only fold the test paper like a paper airplane. I tell you this. As long as you are willing to teach a dog with your heart, he can learn addition and subtraction within ten within three years. This is a great joke. Wow, wow, wow."

Jia Zhang was leaning against the door of their house at the moment, but it was blocked by a curtain. It was cold in the north in winter, and hanging a curtain at the door to block the wind also blocked Liu Hua's view.

She had originally heard Liu Hua praising his grandson as a genius, and was secretly proud of herself. In her poor opinion, Liu Hua should be the most knowledgeable and capable person in this courtyard.

Even such an educated and capable person praises his grandson as a genius, so their son Banggeng will definitely have a bright future and will definitely be a factory director.

But if he has never been to school, then he has never been to school. He has no idea what a turning point is, let alone a dramatic technique called reversal.

Just when she was feeling proud of herself, Liu Hua said the second thing, which directly trampled her pride under his feet and crushed it again and again.

Jia Zhang angrily put down the shoe pattern she was sewing. Qin Huairu sat on the kang to mend her son's clothes. Seeing her mother-in-law like this, she thought she was going to make trouble again, so she could only ask helplessly. "Mom, what are you doing again?"

Jia Zhang cursed in a low voice: "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

Qin Huairu said extremely aggrievedly: "I just asked you why, I didn't scold you."

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Liu Hua." Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "He actually said that my grandson is worse than a dog."

"Our terrier has been very well behaved these past two days. Did you mess with him?"

Since it belongs to someone else and it is the child's test paper, Liu Hua cannot just use it to make a fire. Out of respect for knowledge and the virtue of honesty, he should return other people's things to the owner.

"Qin Huairu." Liu Hua shouted from outside the door, "Qin Huairu, are you home?"

Jia Zhang was almost mad with anger. She picked up the broom and prepared to walk out: "He has bullied me to the point of being too much. I will fight him."

Qin Huairu grabbed him and said, "Mom, let's wait and see. Liu Hua is a big shot in our steel mill now. If I offend him, how can I have a good job in the future?"

"I know." Jia Zhang said angrily, "But no one has ever bullied others like him. Not only did he say bad things about our Bang Geng, but he even came to our house to make fun of us."

"No." Qin Huairu pulled Jia Zhangshi: "It should be a misunderstanding. He is well-educated and well-mannered. How could he bully an orphan and a widow? Besides, if he really wants to bully an orphan and a widow, everyone in the hospital is watching and will not let him go too far. Someone will pull out the sore."

Qin Huairu tidied her hair and lifted the door curtain: "Hua Zi, what's the matter?"

This shows Qin Huairu's scheming. Usually, only someone Liu Hua is particularly familiar with would call him Huazi. Qin Huairu was just trying to get close to him, and she has always called him that, even though Liu Hua has corrected her several times, she still doesn't change.

Liu Hua handed over the test paper and said, "This is your Bang Geng's test paper. This kid made it into an airplane and played with it. It probably flew to the roof and he couldn't get it down. A gust of wind blew it onto me just now."

Jia Zhang muttered in a low voice: "A piece of torn paper is not worth returning. You usually don't come to my house when I have good things."

No matter how quiet he was, he couldn't stop talking. Now the yard was very quiet. Liu Hua smiled and said, "This is not a piece of scrap paper. This test paper represents the extent to which your Banggeng has mastered his studies in the book."

Qin Huairu was only at the literacy class level. She looked at the bright red twelve points and asked in confusion: "Hua Zi, is this twelve points a lot or a little?"

"No, you don't even know if twelve points is a lot or a little. Don't you usually care about your good boy's academic performance?"

"I work all day and have to go home to take care of my family. How can I have the time to care about you?" Qin Huairu pretended to be pitiful and said, "And even if I wanted to care about you, I couldn't. I only learned a few words in the literacy class back then, and I can't even read the stupid books."

"Then I suggest you learn with your Bang Geng." Liu Hua said with a smile: "If you want to upgrade as a fitter, you won't go far without some basic knowledge. If you don't believe me, just look at this old man who has only primary school skills. He can't even pass the exam to become an eighth-level fitter."
