Chapter 704 - Shopping In The Supermarket (1/2)

”It means having no money.” Qin Wenqian blinked at him, then looked at Xian Guiying. ”Mommy, isn't that right?”

Xian Guiying smiled and patted her daughter's head. ”There are many different meanings. You will find out about them when you are an adult. ”

”Ugh …” Qin Wenqian pouted. ”I'm already four years and four months old.”

As she spoke, she raised her finger, ”Mommy, this is three, this is four. Look, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven ~”

When the child counted to ten, Xian Guiying asked, ”Spoiled girl, why don't you count to hundred and show daddy how brilliant you are.”

Obviously, although the child was unwilling to call Qin Gengxin 'daddy', she still had a little bit of expectation. For example, the first time she would count to ten. However, without the encouragement and hug from her father, the child would be quiet.

Of course, Qin Gengxin didn't know the child would be able to learn to count. However, when he saw that Qin Wenqian could count to ten fluently, he felt that his daughter was very smart and great. Hearing Xian Guiying's words, he sighed emotionally and said, ”It seems like I really missed a lot of wonderful things during my daughter's growth.”

Xian Guiying looked at him. ”Do you know how many simple English words and Chinese characters your daughter knows now?”

”She's only four years old, and she can already read?” Qin Gengxin was stunned.

Xian Guiying said with a smile. ”We'll go to the supermarket later. Actually, I just read about this kind of educational method from some parenting materials. It's really effective. You'll know right away when you see it.”

Although she knew that Qin Gengxin knew little about his daughter, he was very nervous and wanted to be closer to the child. However, every time he tried to approach her, Qin Wenqian would timidly push him away.

Seeing Qin Gengxin nodding his head, Xian Guiying asked the waiter to bring a pen and paper for her and start writing something on the paper.

Half an hour later, after the family of three had finished their dinner, they walked to a large supermarket nearby. Xian Guiying handed the paper in her hand to Qin Wenqian and said, ”Go buy something. If there is something you don't know, ask daddy.”

”Oh.” Qin Wenqian took a slip of paper and saw the names of various items her mother had written on it. When she turned around and saw her father pushing the cart, she felt safe and went straight into the supermarket.

Qin Gengxin looked at Xian Guiying hesitantly. ”She's only four years old; how would she know what to buy?”

Xian Guiying just smiled and didn't say anything, just ordering him to follow the child.

Qin Wenqian walked to where the fruit was sold. She looked at the paper in her hand and then saw an apple on the shelf. She then checked the label on the apple before saying, ”Apple, check.”

In the blink of an eye, Qin Gengxin understood. The child knows the apple, but not the word, so it was better to take the child to the supermarket to find out things by drawing a picture. The child would enjoy the fun of shopping like an adult and even be able to recognize the words quickly.

Seeing Qin Wenqian picking the apples by herself, many adults in the supermarket looked at Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin with envious faces. Qin Gengxin didn't think his daughter was so smart. He wanted to hug her, but Xian Guiying pulled him back. ”Don't bother her. She hasn't finished shopping yet.”

After putting the fruit in the shopping cart, Qin Wenqian walked in the other direction. She seemed to have learned a lot of simple words under this kind of education. In a supermarket, all items have English letters, and at the bottom, there was pinyin.

It was likely that Xian Guiying would bring her daughter to this supermarket frequently because Qin Wenqian was very familiar with every section of items.

Looking at the child's figure running back and forth in the supermarket, Qin Gengxin unknowingly became lost in thought. His eyes were staring at the child's figure as she ran around in all directions.

Qin Wenqian looked at what was written on the paper and sweetly said, ”Auntie, can you choose something fresh for me?”

”Thank you, auntie! Goodbye, auntie.”
