"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."

When she couldn't read slightly complicated characters, she went back and asked her mother, "Mommy, what is this?"

Xian Guiying, however, didn't say anything. She turned her head to look at Qin Gengxin. "Tell her."

Qin Gengxin looked at the paper before looking at his daughter. "It's green pepper."

"Oh, oh!" Before Qin Wenqian went to find the vegetable, she suddenly glanced at Qin Gengxin. She looked at her father for a long time, as if the feeling of having her father by her side was completely new.

In four years of her life, she seemed to have this feeling, but the impression was already unclear. At that time, the child thought that her father no longer wanted her, so she no longer wanted her father.

And even when her father was by her side, she would still look for her mother. And now, he was teaching her to read like her mother.

Qin Wenqian looked at Qin Gengxin for a while longer, then ran to buy a green paper. She bought fruits and vegetables, shrimp and jelly for children, and so on.

After they finished shopping at the supermarket, seeing the little girl was tired of going back and forth buying goods, Qin Gengxin immediately carried her in his arms.

Xian Guiying usually let Qin Wenqian sit in the shopping cart so that the child would not be too tired, so when she saw Qin Gengxin carrying the child, she said nothing. As they went to the counter to pay, Qin Wenqian suddenly saw chocolate on the display counter and immediately looked at her mother. "Mommy, I want to eat chocolate."

However, Xian Guiying said, "It's not on our shopping list today. It's out of budget, so we can't buy it."

Qin Wenqian immediately pouted and looked at Qin Gengxin anxiously. She hugged his neck and pouted for a long time before saying, "I.. I want to eat chocolate."

Seeing that his daughter had come to him for help, Qin Gengxin didn't wait for her to finish speaking and immediately took the chocolate from the display counter. Xian Guiying hit his hand. "Don't."

"She wants to eat. No matter how good her performance was just now, no matter how hard you tried to educate her, she was still a child after all. She still had to be rewarded." Qin Gengxin said.

However, Xian Guiying said, "Alright then. Qianqian, do you recognize the word 'chocolate'?"

Qin Wenqian only knew the wrapping bag and its color. She knew it was chocolate, but she didn't know the words, so she shook her head.

"Then wait until you know these words. I'll buy them for you later, okay?"

"Okay." Qin Wenqian nodded obediently.

Qin Gengxin was convinced.

He finally knew why the child this young could stay at home alone without crying or being scared. Moreover, the child was so sensible and didn't seem like a four-year-old child at all, and with a mother like Xian Guiying, the child could probably chat about life with people in their early twenties.

In the end, Qin Gengxin still secretly took out a box of chocolates and put it in the plastic bag when Xian Guiying was paying. She was looking at other things on the side, so she didn't notice it.

Actually, Xian Guiying saw it. She saw how Qin Wenqian lying on Qin Gengxin's shoulder, laughing at him. She saw Qin Gengxin whispering something to his daughter and secretly put the chocolate in the bag. It's just she didn't expose him.

A child was still a child, after all. If she hated you, she hated you. If she liked you, she liked you. But there was one small way that could buy her heart. Just like what Qin Gengxin had done just now.

On the way back from the supermarket and including when they were getting out of the car, Qin Wenqian was carried by Qin Gengxin. The child no longer struggled to get Xian Guiying to hug her.
