Chapter 162 Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage
Although it is winter vacation, the clever kids have already started urging their parents to study hard. You can't overtake on a curve, but you can speed up during the winter vacation.
Aunt Zhong's family welcomed her younger sister who was twelve years younger than her.
Her sister's daughter, her little niece Yutong, is almost twenty years younger than her daughter Cai Yunyun.
Cai Yunyun has been a social animal for several years, and her little niece is still a carefree fifth-grade child. Her biggest worry during the holidays is that she will not be able to finish her homework.
Aunt Zhong's sister had to go out urgently for a day, so she sent Yutong to be taken care of by Aunt Zhong for a day, mainly to supervise her doing her homework.
Aunt Zhong, Cai Yunyun and Yutong, the old, middle-aged and youngest, looked at each other.
Yutong came with her winter vacation homework.
But looking at Yutong's reluctant expression, you can tell that the little girl doesn't want to do her homework, but her mother insists that she take it with her.
No matter how old a person is, when they meet a child younger than themselves, they will automatically show indiscriminate concern: "Have you finished your homework? How much is left?"
Facing the question of death raised by Cai Yunyun, Yutong pouted and sat on the stool, spreading out "Happy Winter Vacation", "Sister, please stop talking, I still have a lot to write."
Yutong just finished one question and shouted, "It's too difficult. I really can't do math problems. I don't want to do homework."
"What question do you not know? Let me take a look." Cai Yunyun was full of confidence and strode behind Yutong.
"What's so difficult about elementary school math? Let me tell you, isn't it just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division? What's so difficult about it?" The moment she saw the question clearly, the words were stuck in her mouth.
"Given that chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, there are 17 heads and 42 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are there?"
"Isn't this just chickens and rabbits in the same cage? It's not that difficult. I can solve it in seconds using an equation!"
Yutong covered her exercise book and protested, "Sister, the teacher said we can't use equations."
"You can solve it without using equations. Let me tell you how to solve this problem..."
The phone rang suddenly, and Cai Yunyun's face changed immediately after answering the call.
"The six-day work and one-day rest written in the contract turned out to be false. The truth is that the boss just called and the workers went to work immediately."
"Mom, you help Yutong with her homework. I have to work like a slave in the company."
Cai Yunyun was in a bad mood because she was forced to work overtime on her day off. She said sourly, "You guys, a college student and an elementary school student, have winter vacation to rest, but I am a company animal and don't need to rest."
Cai Yunyun couldn't bear to see them being so idle, so she assigned them tasks and made sure they were all busy.
"Yutong, I want to see you write at least 5 pages when I get home from get off work today, otherwise I will complain to your mother."
After that, he turned around and told Aunt Zhong: "Mom, watch her and make sure she does her homework well."
"Hurry up and finish the winter vacation diary for your writing class. I'll come back to check it in the evening."
"I've taken the TV remote control. You two are not allowed to play with your phones. I'll be watching you from the surveillance camera. Just do your homework."
Before leaving, she worriedly reminded Yutong:
"If you have any questions, be sure to ask your aunt. She is now a top student at the senior citizens' university. A simple math problem will not be difficult for her."
After Cai Yunyun left, Aunt Zhong and the chickens and rabbits in the same cage looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Sister Yunyun, you think too highly of me. I really can't do it." Aunt Zhong pushed Yutong's homework back, saying she could not help.
"Auntie, don't you teach these things at your senior citizens' university?" Yutong asked curiously, as she was interested in everything other than homework.
"Our school is different from yours. We can learn whatever we want to learn." Aunt Zhong was very proud when she talked about the senior citizens' university.
"Our school offers dance, music, fine arts, e-sports, intangible cultural heritage and planting classes. We also teach how to use mobile phones. There is so much to learn."
"The food in our school is also super delicious. There are sweet and sour pork tenderloin, shredded pork with fish flavor, boiled shrimp with garlic sauce, pearl meatballs... so many dishes, all super delicious."
Yutong swallowed her saliva. All she heard was that the food was delicious.
"Aunt, can I switch schools with you? The food in our school is not tasty. I don't like it."
"You can't change it, so you'd better hurry up and do your homework." Aunt Zhong just wanted this child to finish her homework quickly. If Yutong didn't finish her homework, both of them would be scolded.
"Aunt, I really don't know how to put chickens and rabbits in the same cage. Can you help me again?" Yutong looked at Aunt Zhong pitifully.
"I'll try, although I may not get it right." Aunt Zhong tried hard to recall how to solve this kind of problem.
She became more and more confident as she spoke. "I'm telling you, what I said is absolutely right. I'm very confident that this answer must be correct."
Yutong looked at the answer and hesitated: "But... I think the number I calculated is not right."
"It's 100% correct, believe me." Aunt Zhong waved her hand and pulled Yutong to explain a few more questions. Yutong was skeptical, but she didn't know how to do it, so she copied down the answers Aunt Zhong calculated.
After a day's work, Cai Yunyun went home and was completely confused when she saw the answers calculated by the two people, one big and one small.
"You calculated 13.5 chickens and 4.2 rabbits?"
"Why is there still a half-baked chicken? What does this 0.5 mean? 13 chickens and 1 chicken leg?"
"And this rabbit. There is less than a quarter of the rabbit left. There are still some rabbits in this cage that are whole and some that are small."
Aunt Zhong and Yutong both lowered their heads and accepted the scolding quietly.
"And this question, you calculated that the brother is 6 years old and the sister is 10 years old? Think about it yourself, is this reasonable?"
"I asked about Grandpa's walking speed. Did you calculate 500 kilometers per hour?"
"Oh my god, was the old man taking a high-speed train or a rocket for his walk? Sparks must have come out of his toes, right?"
Cai Yunyun, who was so angry that she laughed, sat on the chair with a gloomy face, while Aunt Zhong and Yutong stood in the corner.
Uncle Cai, who had just returned from fishing, was in a good mood and greeted them: "I told you that I caught a big fish today."
No one responded. Uncle Cai looked up and found the scene quite awkward. He didn't know what was going on, so he quietly put down the bucket and followed suit to stand in the corner.
"Hey, old man Rocket is back from fishing. Didn't you bring half a chicken and a quarter of a rabbit? It's really eye-opening." Cai Yunyun said sarcastically. As expected, no matter who helps her with her homework, she will go crazy.
……
On the other side, Aunt Xu was flipping through her precious silk scarf and asked her daughter, "What kind of clothes do you think this scarf will go with?"
"Don't worry about the scarf for now. You can write this year's Spring Festival couplets when you have time."
Aunt Xu frowned: "I've already told you, I don't know how to write Spring Festival couplets."
"Didn't you learn calligraphy in school?"
"Learning calligraphy doesn't mean I can write Spring Festival couplets! The two are completely different things. I'm just getting started and can't write Spring Festival couplets."
