The world of film and television begins from childhood

Although the couple has no requirements for their child's intelligence, if they can choose a smart one, why not do it?

"Little Ming, how old are you this year?"

Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Guofu warily: "Uncle, why are you asking so many questions? You don't want to adopt me, do you? If that's the case, I think it's better to forget it. I live well here, but I don't want to be adopted."

Although Zhou Guofu seems to be a good person, human hearts are unpredictable, and the welfare home has a director who truly loves him, so he does not want to be adopted.

He didn't expect that Zhou Chen guessed his purpose just by asking a casual question, which made Zhou Guofu feel that Zhou Chen was even smarter.

"Don't you want mom and dad and a loving family?"

"Do not want to."

Zhou Guofu was choked and speechless, and he found Zhou Chen more and more interesting.

He took the initiative to talk to Zhou Chen for a while, but found that Zhou Chen was indifferent. He didn't care and left with a smile.

After Zhou Guofu left, Zhou Chen packed up his things and returned to the classroom.

He had acted so cold just now, but this middle-aged man was still patient enough to talk to him, which showed that he had a good personality and temper.

But what does this have to do with him?

Zhou Guofu returned to the classroom and saw his wife Sun Yi still talking to the children, so he did not disturb her.

After waiting for a while, the female teacher took the children away, and then Zhou Guofu walked over and asked his wife, "How is it?"

Sun Yi looked embarrassed and whispered, "It's good to have one, but it's a girl. I want a boy."

She also lived in an era where boys were favored over girls. She herself did not favor boys over girls, but she wanted to adopt a child for the sake of her husband. She wanted her husband to have a descendant so that he would have grandchildren to be with him when he was old.

But if she raises a girl, she would be more worried about the future.

"Gender is not important, what matters is eye contact. If you think it's suitable, it doesn't matter if it's a girl."

Zhou Guofu knew what his wife was thinking and comforted her in a low voice.

Sun Yi was still hesitant: "Let me think about it."

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Sun, why don't we go to my office to talk?"

After meeting the child, Xie Yajing somewhat understood Sun Yi's attitude, but she still politely invited the two.

"it is good."

The three of them returned to the dean's office. Xie Yajing asked first, "Teacher Sun, what do you think of those children just now?"

There was hope in her eyes. She really wanted them to choose one. It was not because she was afraid of the burden, but because she wanted these poor children to have a home and parents.

If she stayed in the orphanage, she would always be an orphan. She knew very well how difficult it was for orphans to survive.

Sun Yi had already thought it over. She said, "Xiao Xi is a good kid, but to be honest with the dean, I still want to adopt a boy, so..."

Dean Xie looked disappointed, but still nodded in understanding: "Teacher Sun, I understand. They are children from our welfare home. They are not destined to be with you."

Sun Yi looked apologetic and decided not to talk about this matter anymore.

But Zhou Guofu suddenly asked, "Dean Xie, can I ask you about a child?"

Hearing Zhou Guofu's words, Xie Yajing and Sun Yi looked at him in surprise.

Xie Yajing didn't know what Zhou Guofu meant, but she nodded and said, "Mr. Zhou, please go on."

Zhou Guofu: "I just saw a little boy in the yard. His name is He Xiaoming. Can you tell me about him?"

"Xiao Ming?"

When Dean Xie heard the name, his face changed slightly. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhou, what do you want to know?"

Zhou Guofu said: "I think this child is very compatible with me, so I want to learn more about him. If he is suitable, we are willing to adopt him."

Sun Yi looked at her husband in shock. They had been to so many welfare homes, but she was basically the one who made the decisions. This was the first time she heard her husband talk about wanting to adopt a child.

But now Dean Xie was right next to her, so she couldn't ask directly. She just waited for Dean Xie's narration with a puzzled mood.

Xie Yajing was in a very uneasy mood at this moment. She never expected that Zhou Guofu would actually talk about Zhou Chen.

In fact, Zhou Chen also met the requirements of the Zhou couple, but she had not put Zhou Chen's information in before because she had never thought of letting them adopt Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen had been sent back once, so she didn't want the child to be stimulated again.

More importantly, the time she spent with Zhou Chen made her discover that Zhou Chen was different from others. She was surprised by his intelligence and cleverness, and he was also very sensible, so much so that she gradually treated Zhou Chen as her own child.

When she said she wanted to send Zhou Chen to school, she wasn't just saying it casually, but she really wanted to do it.

She felt that Zhou Chen was so smart and would have a bright future as long as he studied hard, so she wanted to do her best to help Zhou Chen study.

If someone else had asked, she really didn't want Zhou Chen to be adopted. But thinking of the status and position of the Zhou couple, if Zhou Chen could stay with them, it would definitely be better than staying in the orphanage.

"Xiao Ming is just six years old this year, and he has no relatives. But to be honest with you, Mr. Zhou, Xiao Ming was adopted once before."

"Adopted?"

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi were both stunned. Zhou Guofu asked, "What about him now?"

Xie Yajing: "Later, he was returned by his adoptive family."

Zhou Guofu frowned and asked, "Why?"

"The family that adopted him said that Xiao Ming had mental problems and did not meet their adoption criteria, so he was returned to the orphanage."

"Is there something wrong with your intelligence?"

Zhou Guofu showed an expression of disbelief; he simply couldn't believe his ears.

Is that child mentally challenged?

Can someone with intellectual disabilities beat him at Go? Can someone with intellectual disabilities converse with him fluently? Can someone with intellectual disabilities show maturity far beyond that of children of the same age?

"Thank you, Dean. I just spent some time with Xiao Ming, but I didn't see any intellectual problems with him."

Xie Yajing smiled bitterly and said, "That's what the adoptive family says."

Zhou Guofu immediately understood the problem: "What do you mean?"

"Since Mr. Zhou asked, I won't hide anything. The adoptive family said Xiao Ming had intellectual problems, but according to Xiao Ming himself, the family actually wanted their own child. We don't know what happened, so they ended up sending him back on the grounds that he had intellectual problems."

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi both heard some kind of answer from Xie Yajing's tone. It was obvious that Dean Xie did not think that there was anything wrong with Xiao Ming, but just thought that it was an excuse for the adoptive family.

Sun Yi also became interested, so she asked Xie Yajing, "Dean Xie, can I see this child?"

She still trusted her husband's vision, but no matter how much she trusted him, it was not as real as what she saw with her own eyes.

"Okay, but before that, you should take a look at Xiao Ming's information first."

Xie Yajing took out Zhou Chen's information from the office drawer and handed it to Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi.

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi took the information and started reading it. The information showed that Xiao Ming was sent to an orphanage when he was a little over one year old. It could be said that he grew up in an orphanage since he was a child.

There is not much content in the actual materials, just some simple things.

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi finished the review quickly, and finally Sun Yi said, "Dean Xie, please let us see the child."

"Okay, I'll go and bring him over now."

Xie Yajing stood up and walked out of the office, leaving only the Zhou couple in the office.

Sun Yi asked, "Husband, have you seen the child? How is he?"

Zhou Guofu replied: "I played Go with him. You know, I have never beaten him. This little guy is incredibly smart."

"really?"

She knew that her husband liked to play Go, but it was unbelievable to hear that he was defeated by a six-year-old child.

"If he is as smart as you say, why was he sent back by the family that adopted him? Does he have other problems?"

Zhou Guofu: "I don't know if there are other problems, but there are definitely no intellectual problems. This little guy is very interesting. You will know when you see him."

If even Zhou Chen, who defeated him, has intellectual problems, then wouldn't he be mentally retarded?

Xie Yajing had already found Zhou Chen by this time, and told him that the Zhou couple wanted to see him.

"Aunt Dean, I don't want to go, and I don't want to be adopted. I'll just stay here."

Zhou Chen directly expressed his thoughts. He really didn't want to be adopted.

Xie Yajing did not follow Zhou Chen's wishes this time, but advised: "Xiao Ming, the uncle and aunt who came to adopt this time are different from the uncles and aunts in the past. If possible, I hope you can leave the welfare home with him."

"why?"

Zhou Chen didn’t quite understand. He could feel that the dean really liked him. If that was the case, why did she let him leave? Are there really such selfless people who would be happy when they see others happy?

Xie Yajing said softly: "I hope you can have a bright future. The welfare home cannot give you this, but Mr. Zhou and Teacher Sun can do it. You have to behave well later, understand?"

"But, Aunt Dean, I don't want to leave you." Zhou Chen said sincerely.

Xie Yajing smiled and said, "If you really remember my kindness, then work hard and be recognized by them. When you have a promising future, you can help Auntie maintain the welfare home. This will be the best reward for Auntie."

In the welfare home, even if she could help Zhou Chen, she would definitely not be as good as the Zhou couple. If Zhou Chen could please them, they could give Zhou Chen the greatest care.

But it was impossible for her to focus only on Zhou Chen. The most important thing was that she felt that the couple was reliable, so she wanted Zhou Chen to perform well.

"I will try my best."

Seeing Xie Yajing's resolute attitude, Zhou Chen did not refute, but just responded weakly.

In fact, there is not much difference for him between staying and being adopted. The main problem is that the adoptive family must suit his ideas and not be involved in all those messy things all the time. He doesn't want to go to a family where everyone is in chaos.

"Don't be like this, let's go."

Seeing Zhou Chen sighing like a little adult, Xie Yajing laughed. This child always acted like a little adult, which made her feel very interesting.

Zhou Chen followed Xie Yajing to the office and met Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi again.

When Zhou Chen came in, Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi's eyes fell on him, especially Sun Yi, whose eyes were full of scrutiny and curiosity.

She had just heard her husband Zhou Guofu talking about Zhou Chen, saying that Zhou Chen was different from ordinary children, and expressed his desire to adopt Zhou Chen. This made her even more curious and she wanted to see what was different about Zhou Chen.

When she saw Zhou Chen's expression and eyes, she clearly noticed something different.

The children from the welfare homes she had met before, when they looked at her, their eyes were full of expectation, desire and nervousness...

But this child did not show any tension or fear, nor any desire or expectation, only calmness.

Yes, it's calm.

This surprised Sun Yi even more. How could a child be so calm when facing strangers?

"Little boy, what's your name?"

Sun Yi, who found it interesting, squatted down, looked at Zhou Chen, and asked softly.

Zhou Chen didn't want to respond, but Xie Yajing said softly: "Xiao Ming, Auntie is talking to you, what did I just say to you?"

Zhou Chen had no choice but to answer: "Auntie, hello, my name is He Xiaoming, I am six years old, I like playing Go and daydreaming. Auntie, do you want to adopt me?"

"Uh?"

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to say so much in one breath and even asked if she wanted to adopt him. This made her not know how to answer.

Zhou Guofu watched this scene with a smile. He had just experienced how powerful this little guy was. Seeing his wife's appearance, he found it very funny.

"Xiao Ming, if your uncle and aunt want to take you home, are you willing?"

"I don't want to."

Zhou Chen's answer made Zhou Guofu embarrassed again, and Xie Yajing stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Mr. Zhou, Teacher Sun, Xiao Ming was adopted once before and then sent back, so he rejects it in his heart. In fact, Xiao Ming is a very obedient child, not naughty at all."

"Xiao Ming is also very smart. Although he is only six years old, he already knows a lot of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. He can also recite pi, and can recite hundreds of digits in one breath."

"Xiao Ming, come and recite a passage about pi to your uncle and aunt."

Faced with Dean Xie's request, Zhou Chen had no choice but to start being controlled by Pi.

"3.14159265358..."

Chapter 400 Ode to Joy, Like the Stars

"..."

Zhou Chen recited very quickly. In a blink of an eye, he had memorized more than a hundred digits without even pausing.
