237Many Whys(2/2)
"What's it like?" Could it be that my son saw something that others couldn't see?
Yao'er: "It's dead."
Zhao Yuanle: "When did you see it?"
Yao'er also recalled it and said, "Sanniang took me to celebrate the New Year. It was wrapped in cloth over there."
Zhao Yuanle was silent for a moment.
Yao'er said again: "Sanniang said it must be a girl."
Zhao Yuanle was silent for a while, and then let out a long sigh.
Yao'er saw that Zhao Yuanle was a little depressed, so he lowered his head and began to write according to the numbers on the paper, occasionally glancing at her secretly.
Zhao Yuanle adjusted his mood and continued to teach Yao'er addition and subtraction within ten, letting him do the math on his own fingers.
He learned these things very quickly and basically never had to be taught by Zhao Yuanle a second time.
Zhao Yuanle left some homework for Yao'er, and the first day's task was considered over.
