Chapter 1088: Chapter 1088: Xiao Tian the Genius

She remembered yesterday when she was distributing candy with Xiao Wen, they roughly divided it by the number of people; she didn’t actually know how many pieces there were, just that every household got about the same.

Xiao Mutou raised his head and replied in a childish voice, “I knew how many pieces were in each pile when you were dividing them.”

Gu Qiaoqiao widened her eyes in amazement, “How did you know that?”

“I watched with my eyes and added them up in my head,” Xiao Mutou said matter-of-factly.

The others didn’t say anything but looked at the little boy with loving eyes.

Ling Nan and Xiao Wen didn’t really mind, but Gu Qiaoqiao was genuinely a bit shocked. My God, this is a genius like Chang Qing.

It’s said that close relatives marrying can sometimes produce foolish children, but sometimes the children are extraordinarily smart, and clearly, Xiao Mutou belongs to the latter category.

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly asked, “Xiao Mutou, how old are you this year?”

“Sister Qiaoqiao, I’m nine years old this year…”

“Nine years old, do you go to school?”

“I go to school…”

“What do you know?”

“I can recite the ‘Three Character Classic’ and the ‘Hundred Family Surnames’ backwards…”

Xiao Mutou added another sentence.

Gu Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, knowing the ‘Three Character Classic’ and the ‘Hundred Family Surnames’ doesn’t hurt, but even if you can recite them backwards, what’s the use?

This child needs to go to school.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked around, the living conditions at the Old Clan Leader’s home are fine, why not send the child to school?

Then she remembered their first child who didn’t survive, could it be because they’re worried?

After all, there’s no primary school here, children have to go outside the mountains to attend school.

If they go into the mountains, they can’t return the same day, so they would have to stay outside, probably at a town primary school without lodging for the children.

Besides, the Old Clan Leader clearly doesn’t have a profound view on education; otherwise, he wouldn’t have an Old Scholar teaching the children things.

In this regard, it’s different from Great Grandfather, like Ling Nan.

When Ling Nan first came to Gu Garden, he only knew some characters, but was still quite lacking.

Great Grandfather specially made some plans for Ling Nan, firstly letting him attend night school, which has already been arranged, and Ling Nan was actually happy about it, knowing after coming to the big city that being uneducated is looked down upon and inconvenient, especially since he lives in Gu Garden.

So, Gu Qiaoqiao asked, “Clan Leader Grandpa, why don’t you send Xiao Mutou to school? It’s such a pity for a child with such a good memory not to attend school.”

“Actually, we also want to send him to school, but it’s really inconvenient, and besides, this child wasn’t very healthy when he was younger, and we’re not at ease. We’ll send him to school when he gets healthier.”

“The child is already nine years old this year, in a few more years, kids his age will have graduated from primary school.”

Gu Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

Beside her, Xiao Mutou looked up at Gu Qiaoqiao and whispered, “Sister Qiaoqiao, I want to go to school, after going to school, I can learn so many things and read so many books, I like it…”

Gu Qiaoqiao patted Xiao Mutou’s little head and then took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket, stuffed them into his hand, and said to him, “Go and share these candies with your two little partners.”

Some things aren’t appropriate to say in front of children.

Xiao Mutou obediently took the candies, happily ran out, and then three children divided them one piece at a time.
