My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

The aftermath of Le Bao's birthday party circulated in the kindergarten for almost a week.

After the birthday party, the first thing all the children who had visited Le Bao's house said to him was:

"Le Bao, can you celebrate your birthday tomorrow? We'd like to come to your house to play again."

"Le Bao, it's your birthday, I want to play a cake fight."

"Le Bao..."

The little guy also couldn't forget his birthday. As soon as he got home, he asked his grandpa, "Can I have my birthday tomorrow?"

Lu Jianguo patiently explained to her that she would not celebrate her birthday again for another year.

Is a year like tomorrow?

The little guy doesn't have a concept of a year yet.

"A year will only pass when you move up to the middle class."

"Is your baby going to the middle class tomorrow?"

Lu Jianguo: "..."

How was he going to explain this to the little guy who couldn't count?

"I'll celebrate your birthday again when you can count from 1 to 100."

Seeing that her father-in-law was also stumped by the little one's question, Shen Wanning stepped in to help.

"Mommy, baby can do it! Baby is so awesome!"

Shen Wanning: Where do you get your confidence? You're a primary school dropout who can't even count to 10.

"Then count for Mom. If you count correctly, Mom will celebrate your birthday tomorrow."

Shen Wanning was utterly confident that her chubby daughter was dreaming.

"1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8......."

Those present silently shut their mouths, their trembling shoulders revealing just how hard they were holding back.

Shen Wanning held her forehead with one hand, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

She probably wasn't this stupid when she was little, right?

So, still feeling a little uncertain, Shen Wanning immediately called her mother.

"Mom, was I smart when I was little?"

When Xiang Jia Hui heard her daughter's question, she was taken aback at first, then seemed to remember something and said with a look of reminiscence:

"You were so clever when you were little. Your older brothers were always being tricked by you. Back then..."

Shen Wanning's phone was on speakerphone, so everyone from the Lu family present could hear it.

Hearing her mother recount her glorious childhood deeds, Shen Wanning proudly raised an eyebrow at Lu Chenyue.

See? I was so smart when I was little. Le Bao must have inherited that from you.

Lu Chenyue patted her head with amusement, remaining silent to indicate his agreement.

You know, he was always the "model child" since he was a child, outstanding in every aspect.

Shen Wanning knew that Lu Chenyue couldn't be stupid, and she wasn't stupid either. But was this the legendary case of positives equaling negatives?

No, she has to get Le Bao's studies in order, otherwise he'll be helping the seller count the money even after being sold off.

Lu Chenyue thought to himself, "Your big, chubby daughter, apart from being bad at studying, is far more cunning than her peers in other aspects."

Without hesitation, Shen Wanning took out the early education textbooks she had bought and started teaching from the most basic counting.

Looking at his wife, who was in high spirits, Lu Chenyue couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm, so he quietly poured her some cooling herbal tea.

"Come on, Le Bao, repeat after Mommy: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10."

Tonight's task is to teach her to count to 10, which should be quite simple, Shen Wanning thought.

"1, 2, 3, 4..., 6, 8..."

When Le Bao counted to 4, Shen Wanning looked at her excitedly. She could already count to 4, so there shouldn't be any problem with the rest.

But as soon as Le Bao 6 was taken out of the oven, the light in Shen Wanning's eyes visibly dimmed.

"No, no, 4 should be 5, 6 should be 7. Let's start over. Listen carefully to Mom."

"..."

An hour later, Shen Wanning collapsed onto the sofa, trying her best to control her emotions. She took the herbal tea that Lu Chenyue handed her and drank it all in one gulp.

She finally understood what those videos online of parents breaking down while tutoring their children meant.

"Lu Chenyue, did we give birth to an idiot?"

Otherwise, how could a 3-year-old not be able to count to 10? That's very abnormal.

Lu Chenyue: No, really no, she's just a little less smart in that respect.

"No, we need to take her to the hospital for a checkup. If there's a problem, the sooner we find it, the sooner we can address it."

While he was still anxious about his daughter being mentally challenged, Wen Xian had already unleashed her shrewish temper.

"Count to me what 3 + 4 equals, now."

Lu Shulang was stunned by the shout and started counting on his fingers.

"How many are there?"

"Three."

"What does 3 + 4 equal?"

"6"

Wen Xian died.

She angrily scratched her hair, pointing the finger at Lu Feng:

"Come here, this is the good son you gave birth to."

After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.

Lu Shulang looked at his father with teary eyes.

Shen Wanning, who just said her daughter was an idiot: Maybe, possibly, this is a genetic mutation?

However, remembering her anger earlier, she also turned her anger towards Lu Chenyue, saying, "You decide what to do," before following him upstairs.

Now look what's happened; both of the Lu family's top figures are furious.

Lu Jianguo had already quietly gone upstairs when Shen Wanning said she would teach Le Bao. He couldn't bear to see his granddaughter being wronged, so he simply decided to avoid seeing it and getting upset.

Although he went upstairs, he kept his ears perked up, constantly watching for any sounds coming from downstairs.

In the hall, the two brothers, implicated by their wives, exchanged a helpless glance, resignedly sat down next to their respective children, and began patiently teaching them.

"Daddy, aren't you going to scold me?"

Le Bao, frightened by her aunt's fierceness, pouted. Her aunt had been too scary.

Lu Chenyue took a deep breath and said in the calmest tone:

"If you behave well, Daddy won't scold you."

Lu Chenyue patted the back of her head reassuringly.

"Daddy's fed up with you, Daddy's crying."

The sweet kiss from his little darling had Lu Chenyue charmed with his silver tongue.

He seemed to have forgotten what it felt like when the little guy's hand slapped his face.

In the hall, two powerful figures who usually wield great influence sat hunched over on the carpet, teaching the simplest math problems within the range of 10.

At 10:30 p.m., Lu Chenyue looked at his daughter, who was fast asleep in his arms, and then at his nephew, who was wiping away tears while doing his homework.

Are the Lu family's excellent genes going to be lost here?

Carrying his daughter upstairs, Lu Chenyue quickly washed her face, changed her into pajamas, and gently placed the child on the bed.

Shen Wanning didn't turn her head the whole time, because she was talking to Gu Nansheng about parenting, and the main part of it was naturally learning.

Upon learning that Yu Muchen was already self-studying the second-grade curriculum, Shen Wanning's already shattered heart was dragged out and crushed into dust once again.

"Lu Chenyue, let's ask Le Bao for a day off tomorrow and go to the hospital for a check-up."

Shen Wanning put down her phone and said to Lu Chenyue.

Lu Chenyue: "..."

I thought you were just saying it, but I didn't expect you to actually do it.

However, he dared not disobey his wife and could only comply.
