Bao'er was lying on the table, and Li Xu was teaching her how to read the words on the booklet.
This was a children's book that was full of childlike interest. It used a few words to tell an interesting story. It was very suitable for a four-year-old child like Bao 'er. Obviously, it was a book that was specially designed for learning Chinese.
Although the Korean Education Department had been struggling with the issue of restoring the use of Chinese, many Koreans were actually willing to let their children receive Chinese education.
Chinese was the language used by the Korean nobles, and many of the historical works in Korea were written in Chinese. Korean period dramas could not avoid Chinese characters. If you opened an ancient book, it would be full of Chinese characters.
In Korea, before graduating, students had to take a Chinese character test. Generally, students were required to know at least 1000 traditional Chinese characters.
Of course, knowing Chinese characters did not mean that they knew Chinese. It was just that there were many places in Korean that required Chinese characters to express their meaning.
"This name is Nian Qing."
"Qi Yin ~ ~ ~" Bao'er could not speak clearly.
"It's not Qi Yin, it's Qing." Li Xu patiently corrected her.
"Qi Yin ~ ~ ~"
"No, it's Qing, Qing, Qing."
"Qi, qi, qi, qi."
Li Xu: "???"
Qi Chan's power was indeed everywhere. But why did she have to appear here?
Li Xu sighed and looked at the little girl sadly. "Forget it, let's take it slow. We still have a lot of time."
Seeing that Li Xu was not in a good mood, Bao'er came up and kissed Li Xu. Li Xu immediately smiled and became energetic again.
It had to be said that teaching Bao'er to read Chinese characters was not an easy task. No wonder it was said that parents who helped their children with homework would get angry easily.
For the entire day, Li Xu and Bao'er read the booklet noisily. In the end, he finally taught Bao'er a short story made up of ten Chinese characters. He was going to give Kim Jin-hee a surprise when she came back.
At around five in the afternoon, the door opened. Kim Jin-hee came back.
"Aunty, Aunty is back." The little girl happily went to the entrance to welcome her.
Li Xu trailed after him slowly, his mind spinning crazily.
In the morning, Sister Jin-hee kissed me and then ran away. What was the meaning of this? Should I ask?
However, when he saw that Kim Jin-hee looked a little haggard, Li Xu felt a little uncomfortable. He immediately threw away the messy thoughts in his mind.
"Sister Jin-hee, are you crying again?"
"No." Kim Jin-hee laughed at herself. "I cried yesterday, but I can't cry at the memorial service today. I'm really not a good actress."
Li Xu comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Being sad once is enough."
"Aunty, Bao'er can read now," the little girl said proudly.
"Yes, yes. I've taught Bao'er how to read. Come and take a look." Li Xu gestured for Kim Jin-hee to sit at the table.
Flipping open the booklet, Bao'er snuggled into Li Xu's arms. Li Xu gave the little girl an encouraging look.
"Bao'er, repeat after me."
"Okay," the little girl said crisply.
Li Xu pointed to the first word on the first line. "Down."
Then, Li Xu did not stop and pointed to the second word. "Rain."
Then he pointed again. "Up."
Bao'er immediately read, "It's raining."
Li Xu looked at Kim Jin-hee proudly and pointed to the second word on the second line. "It's raining."
"It's raining." Bao'er repeated.
"The frog is wearing a straw hat."
"The frog is wearing a straw hat."
There were only three lines in the story, and the little girl read it word for word.
"Haha, that's great," Li Xu happily patted Bao'er's little head and said, "Let's read it together."
Then, Li Xu pointed to the first word on the first line and did not look up. Bao'er just followed his finger and read it.
"It's raining. It's raining. The frog is wearing a straw hat."
When Li Xu pointed to a word, Bao'er would read it in one go. The little girl did not stop at all.
"See, Sister Jin-hee, Bao'er can recognize these words." Li Xu beamed.
Kim Jin-hee found it interesting. "Bao'er, you really can recognize these words?"
"Of course." The little girl raised her head high.
"Then can you read it to Aunty again?"
"Okay."
Kim Jin-hee stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the three words at the beginning of the story. The story was called "It's raining."
Bao'er immediately said, "It's raining."
Li Xu was very pleased and patted Bao'er's little head encouragingly.
Kim Jin-hee then pointed to the first line of the story. Bao'er continued, "It's raining."
Li Xu: "???"
Kim Jin-hee smiled slightly and pointed to the three words on the second line. The little girl continued, "The frog is wearing a straw hat."
Li Xu's mouth twitched. Did this little girl not know how to count? Didn't she feel that something was wrong after reading these three words so many times?
Kim Jin-hee then pointed to the three words on the third line.
The little girl froze and said with a bitter expression, "Why is there more? Bao'er has already finished reading it. "
Li Xu looked at Kim Jin-hee helplessly. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After all this time, the little girl still didn't know how to read at all. She had only memorized the few words Li Xu read to her without missing a single word. She didn't even know how to read the title.
Looking at Li Xu's helpless expression and Bao'er's troubled little face, Kim Jin-hee chuckled softly.
"Hey, Sister Jin-hee, what are you laughing at?" Li Xu didn't understand.
"That's right. Aunty, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at Bao'er? " The little girl was still thinking about the last few words of the book when she saw Kim Jin-hee laugh and started to denounce her.
"It's nothing."
Although she said it was nothing, Kim Jin-hee didn't try to hide the smile on her face.
The little girl and Li Xu looked at each other and then stared at Kim Jin-hee in a daze. They didn't know what she was so happy about.
In the evening, the three of them ordered takeout. Li Xu fulfilled his promise and treated the little girl to pudding.
The little girl ate the pudding and was so happy that she completely forgot about the mess she had made when she was learning to read.
After dinner, Li Xu got up and said goodbye. The little girl hugged his leg reluctantly.
"Uncle, don't go, okay?"
"Uncle still has something to do. I'll come back to see Bao'er in a few days, okay?"
"Okay," the little girl answered sullenly.
Li Xu squatted down and patted Bao'er's little head. "If Aunty drinks again in the future, call Uncle."
"Okay, okay." The little girl nodded her head vigorously.
"Sister Jin-hee, I'm leaving now." Li Xu got up and looked at Kim Jin-hee.
"Why don't you leave tomorrow?"
Li Xu quickly shook his head. If he stayed any longer, he would really make a mistake. He realized that he might not be as determined as he thought.
Kim Jin-hee took a step forward and Li Xu subconsciously took a step back.
He still remembered how Kim Jin-hee had sneakily attacked him in the morning. He was afraid that Kim Jin-hee would suddenly attack him again.
Kim Jin-hee didn't care. She walked in front of him and reached out to straighten his clothes that were slightly wrinkled because of Bao'er's grabbing.
When his clothes were completely straightened, she smiled.
This smile made Li Xu a little confused.
