The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

What's more, building water conservancy projects is not a matter of a day or two. If we want to repair the waters of Fengying and prevent floods and water disasters from happening again, we have to continue to build water conservancy projects, and this construction will take ten to eight years.

There was only one talent like Hong Zhekai in the whole Dalang Kingdom, how could he not respect him? And Hong Yunrang called him little grandpa, how could he not care about the official career of this child, studying hard for more than ten years, wasn't it for his own ambitions? What was there for Wan Lianxing not to understand? He had no better choice than to accept this matter.

Wan Lianxing looked at the sensible Hong Yunrang and said, "Go take your brother out to play. Your brother can't sit still here anymore." Upon hearing that, Cheng Youning jumped down from the stool and followed Hong Yunrang out. At the same time, all the family members of the Hong family who were standing here were also sent out.

Hong Yunrang touched Cheng Youning's head and asked, "Do you miss me?"

Cheng Youning said crisply: "Yes, I came here just to see my brother."

Hong Yunrang said: "Brother misses his younger brother too."

Cheng Youning said, "Then why don't you come to Fengying City to see me? Don't tell me that my brother has to study hard every day, study hard books?"

Hong Yunrang asked, "Doesn't my brother study every day?"

Cheng Youning said: "I will be lazy if I have to. I haven't studied seriously for more than half a year."

"My brother used to study very hard. Why has he become slack in the past six months?" Hong Yunrang seemed to care about Cheng Youning's studies more than Cheng Youning's parents.

Seeing this, Cheng Youning had to explain, "I'm working hard now, but my master has been accompanying my grandfather to fight in the border. The mansion has replaced more than a dozen teachers for me, but they all drove away because of me. So, I have the opportunity to be lazy." Cheng Youning said this with a little joy and happiness.

Hong Yunrang disagreed: "Why is my brother so naughty? You should respect your teacher and not disobey him. My brother is smart and is at a good age to study hard. You should not slack off."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Youning quickly said, "Brother, I have learned my lesson. I will not dare to do it again in the future."

At this time, a child ran up to Cheng Youning and Hong Yunrang. He put his face close to Cheng Youning and smiled, "Who are you?"

Cheng Youning thought this man looked silly. He looked at Hong Yunrang and said, "Brother, who is this man?"

Hong Yunrang smiled and said, "This is my younger brother Hong Yuncong."

Cheng Youning saw the child was plump and had a round belly, so he asked casually, "How old are you?"

Hong Yuncong smiled and said, "Haha, I'm nine years old, how old are you?"

Cheng Youning said: "Six years old."

"You are so tall!" The child looked at Cheng Youning with envy.

Cheng Youning has always been proud of his height. Upon hearing this, he straightened his back so that he would look taller.

After Hong Yuncong looked at Cheng Youning, he looked at the people around him. He pointed at Qiao Rong and asked, "Who is he?"

Cheng Youning said: "He is my book boy Qiao Rong."

"How old is he?"

Cheng Youning said: "He is six years older than me."

"Six years old? How old is that?"

When Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong showed a little astonishment, they saw Hong Yuncong counting on his fingers, counting back and forth several times, and then asked Cheng Youning: "Is your book boy ten years old?"

Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong were silent after hearing this. Hong Yuncong stretched out his fingers again and said to himself, "Didn't I count correctly?" He counted again in a hurry, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he knew the answer to a puzzle: "I know, Qiao Rong and I are the same age, both nine years old."

Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong were completely stunned, not knowing what to say, because something that could be calculated by mental arithmetic, but the child in front of them couldn't figure out the correct answer by fiddling with his fingers back and forth, what a 'weird guy'!

After looking at the reactions of the two people in front of him, Hong Yuncong scratched his head and said, "Still wrong?" Everyone watched him stretch out his hands again and fiddle with them, looking very serious. This time he only counted once and said confidently, "Ten years old, he must be ten years old."

Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong reached a silent agreement, and neither of them intended to speak. Doesn't this guy have a good memory? He knew that "ten" was wrong, so why did he calculate "ten"? Doesn't he know what the answers he said were?

"Still not right?" This time Hong Yuncong looked a little anxious. He looked at Hong Yunrang and said, "Brother, how old is this guy?"

Hong Yunrang, who was very gentle, stretched out his hands and said to Hong Yuncong, "Brother, lend me your hands. Please count carefully."

Hong Yuncong's chubby little hand counted back and forth on Hong Yunrang's hand three times, then he looked up and laughed: "I finally understand, he is thirteen years old."

Hong Yunrang said, “Count carefully again.”

"Isn't that right?" The kid Hong Yuncong completely lost his patience. He looked at Qiao Rong and asked, "How old are you?"

Qiao Rong's face had unconsciously become serious, because in his opinion, this man had been fiddling with his fingers for so long that he should have guessed it right even if he was confused. How could he not be able to calculate it correctly? "I'm eleven years old."

Hong Yuncong laughed when he heard this, and said shamelessly: "My calculation is almost right, not much different."

At this time, Hong Yunrang couldn't help but reach out and touch his head and said, "You have to work harder and study hard with the teacher."

"Studying is meaningless. My brother doesn't want to study."

Cheng Youning was puzzled. He asked Hong Yunrang: "Is this man really your brother?"

Hong Yunrang nodded and asked with a smile, "Don't you think so?"

Cheng Youning was also a smart kid, so he didn't call Hong Yuncong silly in front of the two people. He said tactfully, "One is fat and the other is thin, so they don't look very similar. But if you look closely, they do look a bit similar."

Hong Yunrang explained, "He doesn't study hard and doesn't like to use his brain. Usually he is rarely allowed to meet guests. Today, the maid didn't keep an eye on him."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see what was wrong with this guy. Cheng Youning was not stupid, so he just didn't expose him.

Hong Yuncong said foolishly: "The maids can seldom watch me because I can climb through the windows." While speaking, Hong Yuncong pinched the little tiger on Cheng Youning's waist with his little hands, and then said to Cheng Youning: "Give me this little tiger."

Cheng Youning didn't know how to respond, so he looked at Qiao Rong.

Qiao Rong said, "This purse was given to my young master by his wife who was not yet married. It is very precious and cannot be given away."

The child refused to let go and looked determined to keep it. No matter what Hong Yunrang said, Hong Yuncong wouldn't listen.
