Uncle Ran Away with the Pig (1)

Jiang Xiaoman was plucking and playing with some foxtail grass by the roadside while ruminating on the multiplication formula that Teacher Tang taught today.

“One time one is one, one time two is two, one time three is three…”

Jiang Xiaoman was repeating them with her cute and crisp milky voice.

Yu Wencheng stood behind her for a while. Before Jiang Xiaoman could notice he was there, he suddenly asked her, “How many is three times three?”

Jiang Xiaoman was surprised. Her mind was jumbled up and she loudly answered, “Three times three is seven!”

Yu Wencheng laughed out loud, then squatted down and asked her. “What are you playing?”

Yu Wencheng came alone this time. Without the two big guys behind him, he looked a lot kinder. Jiang Xiaoman still remembered him so she was not afraid. She held up the foxtail grass and said, “I’m playing with this.”

“Are your grandma and uncle home?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go home to find them.”

Jiang Xiaoman hesitated for a while, then obediently took him home since she thought that he was not a bad person. In reality, even without her leading the way, Yu Wencheng still remembered the way to the Jiang family home.

As she walked and skipped around, the tiger hat hanging on her head swayed around, and she fixed its position when it was about to fall.

Yu Wencheng saw that she was not afraid of strangers and talked to her as he walked.

“Your name was Xiaoman, right? What grade are you in this year?”

“I’m not in one yet.” Jiang Xiaoman counted with her fingers. “Teacher Tang said that I should’ve gone to a small kindergarten class, but there aren’t any in our town so I couldn’t. ”

Yu Wencheng was surprised.

He knew that the conditions here were not that good. The roads hadn’t been repaired yet, but he didn’t think that there wasn’t even a kindergarten here.

And in such an environment, they were still able to raise such a clever and beautiful child. At this moment, Yu Wencheng began to seriously think whether he should also temporarily move here to live. This little girl was so lively, maybe after getting along with his son for a while, some of it would rub off on him.

The environment nurtures people. Yu Wencheng was not superstitious, but he had tried all kinds of scientific solutions for the sake of his son, and they did not work.

Yu Wencheng mumbled and asked, “Do you know how to do multiplications before even going to school?”

“Yes.” Jiang Xiaoman was especially proud. She tilted her head and said, “Not only can I do multiplications, but I also know about negative numbers!”

Yu Wencheng was stunned again.

Just how old was she? How did she learn it? He asked, “Is this also something your teacher taught?”

“No, I learned it myself.” Jiang Xiaoman smiled and explained to him. “I originally had six yuan, but I owed a friend one thousand yuan, so my balance became -994.”

Jiang Xiaoman only knew this one negative number.

Ever since she borrowed points from the system, she had been thinking about how to pay them back and turn the negative numbers into positive again. The balance was now -922, and the system told her that it would take a long time to pay back.

Yu Wencheng was speechless and gave her a thumbs up while smiling, “Little girl, you’re amazing.”

Being praised, Jiang Xiaoman was naturally very happy. She ran up as if she was flying and rushed into the house, shouting, “Grandma, Uncle, we have a guest!”

Jiang Xing was still acting like he was half-dead, but when he saw that Yu Wencheng had come again, he instantly became full of spirit.

“Mr. Yu, hello Mr. Yu. This… what brought you here this time?” Jiang Xing burst into tears when he arrived and eagerly took Yu Wencheng’s hand. “Mr. Yu, I’ve been thinking about it after you left last time. I’m just a vulgar person. Compared to my niece, I’m not that noble.”

So he didn’t mind if he smacked him with money. Really.

Yu Wencheng also smiled. “I’ve also been thinking about it ever since I went back last time. This time, I’m here to talk to you about cooperation.”

Yu Wencheng thought about it all night after he went back the other day, and poured all his heart into it.
