60s: I have a store

Chapter 64 Mathematical Genius
After chatting with the third uncle for a while, Zhou Yimin left.

"Boss, look at this peanut oil, it's so good! There's not even a trace of residue." The third aunt said happily.

This pound of oil is enough for their family to use for a long time.

At present, almost every family is short of oil. Zhou Yimin's gift of one pound of oil is more valuable than one pound of meat, because one pound of meat cannot produce that much oil.

"Well! This oil may have been filtered, so use it sparingly." The third uncle nodded.

No matter what kind of oil it is, it is too difficult to buy it now.

"It seems that Yimin is closer to our family and prefers to ask you for help when he has something to do." The third aunt's vanity was also satisfied.

The third uncle laughed and scolded: "Of course he would ask me for matters concerning the factory! For matters concerning the courtyard, he would definitely ask the second uncle."

After all, Zhou Yimin lives in the Central Courtyard, and the affairs of the Central Courtyard are under the jurisdiction of the second uncle.

Just like when Zhou Yimin was renovating his house, he went to his second uncle’s house.

The third aunt was not convinced: "Isn't the first uncle also from your steel plant? Why doesn't Yimin go to him? Go to our family."

"This is a matter of the workshop, and it's not convenient for the old man. Who else can he turn to if not me? You must not tell others about what I said just now. What will the old man think of Yimin if he hears it?" The third uncle was speechless towards his wife.

Don't cause trouble to Yimin.

"I'm not the kind of person who gossips." The third aunt muttered.

The third uncle didn't reply to her. He said, "Your wife, don't you know yourself? You're not a gossip, but you're also a loudmouth. To be precise, all the women in the courtyard are of the same character."

After Zhou Yimin returned home, he took out another 2 kilograms of mutton and took it to Huang Suqin's house.

"Just come and eat, why are you bringing meat? Take it back later." Huang Suqin scolded.

How hard is it to buy meat now? Her family also knows this very well, so they naturally won't cook the two kilograms of mutton that Zhou Yimin brought. In that case, is it her family's treat or Zhou Yimin's treat?
"Auntie Huang, in this weather, it will go bad if we leave it tomorrow. Let's stew it quickly!" Zhou Yimin said.

Then, put the mutton into the basin in the kitchen.

"You kid..."

Shengli and Shengyi put on new clothes, which made them look much better. Although they were injured, they were very happy that they could finally escape from that devilish home.

From now on, they will also be children who are loved by others.

When they saw Zhou Yimin, the two brothers called him "Brother Zhou".

Zhou Yimin took out two White Rabbit milk candies again and gave one to each of them.

"Eat it! This is delicious."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

At this time, Cheng Siguang came back with a roast duck. In order to buy this roast duck, he left work early, but he still came back now.

"Yi Min is here? Sit down, sit down, sit down! Why are you being so polite to me?"

Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "I'm not being polite. This isn't my first time here."

"Haha! That's good, that's good!" Cheng Siguang laughed.

It can be seen that he is in a very good mood. Now, the only worry has been solved. Shengli is sensible and has made it clear that he will take care of his aunt and uncle in the future, recognize them as his godfather and godmother, and is willing to change his surname to Cheng.

How can I not be happy?

Although he is not a biological child, at least he is related to his wife by blood, which is more reliable than adopting one from outside.

Besides, after these two days of contact, he basically understood the personalities of the two children. Their greatest characteristic was that they knew how to be grateful and were people worthy of cultivation and trust.

"Uncle Cheng, can the two brothers go to school?" Zhou Yimin asked.

Especially Shengli, he is so old now, will the school still accept him?
"Shengyi is fine. If it's Shengli..."

"Godfather, I don't have to go to school. I will also work to support the family." Shengli shouted immediately, having changed his words.

Cheng Siguang felt comforted after hearing this. He patted Shengli's head and said with a smile, "You are still young. You don't need to support the family for the time being. Study hard. Godfather has already talked to Teacher Wang from the next door courtyard. He will go to the school to help plead for him. Don't worry!"

Zhou Yimin knew that it might not be as simple as just talking about it?

Asking someone to do something for you probably meant paying a lot of money. However, Zhou Yimin didn't point it out in front of the children.

"Shengli, listen to your godfather and study hard. Maybe you can become a cadre in the future." Zhou Yimin said.

Shengyi was still worried about being disliked, so he quickly said, "Godfather, Brother Zhou, I will study hard. My brother is also very good. He is better at math than other people in the village. If you don't believe me, you can test my brother."

Originally, Cheng Siguang didn't take it seriously and just gave him two or three simple math problems to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Seungri gave the answer in seconds.

This scared Zhou Yimin.

He couldn't help but ask a question: "What about 25 times 25?"

"Is it 625?"

About three seconds.

Cheng Siguang's eyes lit up as he discovered something incredible: his godson seemed to be a math genius.

Just now, he couldn't do mental arithmetic that fast on Zhou Yimin's problem. Could it be that he was so fast because of his new brain?
He asked another more difficult question.

"What about 123 times 123?"

This time, Shengli pondered for about 5 seconds and gave the answer 15129.

Cheng Siguang was still calculating by himself, and this time he couldn't do mental arithmetic, so he had to take out a pen. It took him about 10 seconds from the beginning to the end.

The answer is correct.

He was really shocked.

He quickly called to his wife in the kitchen: "Suqin, Suqin!"

Huang Suqin was cutting mutton! She came in with a kitchen knife: "What's the matter?"

"Let me tell you good news. Shengli is a math genius. He is a math genius! What a pity, such a pity! It would have been better if he had discovered it earlier." Cheng Siguang felt very excited and a little sad.

If it is discovered and cultivated early, it will definitely be successful.

Now that I’m a little older, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.

He believed that with Shengli's ability and talent, the school would not be able to refuse him. Cheng Siguang knew very well that there was no school that didn't like geniuses.

Some geniuses were even invited by the principal himself.

He has to ask for leave tomorrow and take Shengli to school in person. The school must provide targeted training. Maybe his family can produce a mathematician.

Then he really brought honor to the family.

At this moment, Cheng Siguang was actually a little grateful to his wife's scumbag brother-in-law, thanking him for his great assist and good son.

"Really?" Huang Suqin was a little confused.

Zhou Yimin smiled bitterly: "He is better at math than Uncle Cheng and I."

When Huang Suqin heard this, she became so happy that she became incoherent.

Who could have thought of this?

She just wanted to raise two children to provide for her old age, but accidentally raised a math genius. In the future, I don't know how many people will envy her.

"Old Cheng, Shengli must be sent to school. There can be no delay!"

"I know, I know!" Cheng Siguang walked around happily.

"I'll go find Teacher Wang and explain it clearly." Saying this, Cheng Siguang was about to go out.

Anyway, it’s just the next yard, not far away.

Zhou Yimin: "Uncle Cheng, why not invite Teacher Wang over for dinner."

Teacher Wang was also his former teacher and he was familiar with him.
