Minglin City, south of the city, look back at the restaurant.

This is the restaurant opened by Wu Fangming and Chen Xiufang. They moved from the north of the city to the south of the city eight years ago. After several years of careful management by the couple, the business has already entered the right track.

Wu Chen also grew from a little baby to a rather handsome boy. He is 1.3 meters tall, with black hair pulled up in a small bun, and a pair of big black eyes flickering, with an innocent look.

When Wu Chen was five years old, the couple hired a gentleman to teach him how to read and write.

But the husband didn't teach for a few years, so he said goodbye and left.

Later, several gentlemen were invited in succession.The couple felt strange, so they left the husband who was about to leave to ask what happened.

The teacher said with a face full of shame: "Young Master Ling is extremely talented, so-and-so, I really don't have much talent and learning, and if I continue to teach, I'm afraid I will mislead my disciples."

Wu Fangming said hastily: "Mr. is too modest. Mr.'s knowledge is several times better than mine. Quanzi is an eight-year-old child. Is there a truth that Mr. cannot teach?"

After speaking, he took out a purse and stuffed it into the gentleman's hand.

The husband quickly refused: "I'm really not self-effacing, I'm leaving! I'm leaving! Stay." After speaking, he ignored the couple's persuasion and left.

Don't leave any extra money?The couple looked at each other in dismay, thinking in their hearts, this is probably because that kid Wu Chen is too naughty.

Wu Fangming bared his teeth: "Look, you're just used to it! How many is this? Who will dare to teach him in the future? Is it possible that he will really be a waiter in this restaurant in the future?"

Chen Xiufang muttered: "Maybe it's just that this gentleman is so ignorant that he can't teach Chen'er! Besides, why not inherit his father's career?"

Wu Fangming rolled his eyes, pointed at Chen Xiufang with his finger, threw off his sleeve and said bitterly: "A woman's opinion! I want to see what this kid is capable of!" After speaking, he walked towards the study angrily.

Chen Xiufang hurriedly said: "Chen'er is still a child, you should tell him well. Do you hear me?"

Wu Fangming turned around and said, "It's a loving mother with many failures!"

Seeing Wu Fangming's angry face, Chen Xiufang hurriedly followed.

The couple pushed away from the study room and saw Wu Chen lying on the table reading a book concentrating on it.Seeing that serious look, Wu Fangming's anger has subsided a lot.

A little black dog ran to the couple with its ears drooping, shaking its head and tail, rubbing against the couple intimately, and purring.

The little black dog is exactly the little black dog brought back by the couple eight years ago.Eight years have passed, and Wu Chen has grown to a height of about 1.3 meters, while the little black dog still looks like a puppy, and it seems that he has not grown up at all.

The couple didn't care, some pet dogs never grow up.But this little black lived quite a long time, far exceeding the lifespan of ordinary pet dogs.The couple attributed all this to the fact that the little black dog ate well.After all, they run restaurants.

Seeing that Wu Fangming didn't move, he didn't speak.Chen Xiufang couldn't help but secretly glanced at her husband, and seeing her husband's complexion softened, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then coughed and called, "Chen'er."

Wu Chen raised his head and was startled: "Father, mother, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Wu Fangming couldn't help getting angry: "Why do you say? Tell me honestly, why did your husband leave again? Did you deliberately make things difficult for him? Did you make him leave?"

Wu Chen was taken aback: "Leaving again?" Then he stood up: "Oh! He just left. I just told him not to teach me those childish things, so he left angrily. It can't be my fault, can it?" After finishing speaking Spreading his hands, he seemed helpless.

Wu Fangming frowned slightly and said "Oh": "Then tell me, what do you want to learn? What is not childish stuff? Biography? Unofficial history? Ranger? Do you think those things are useful?"

Wu Chen hehe said: "Father, look, I have read all the books on your bookshelf. In my spare time, I read unofficial histories, rangers and so on. You also allow it. I am talking about the things taught by those gentlemen. I really know it. If I don’t let them teach me, I can save a lot of money, right?”

Wu Fangming snorted: "No shame! The books on my bookshelf contain the classics of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Have you really finished reading them? Do you really understand everything?"

Wu Chen said helplessly: "If you don't believe me, you can test me. However, I got all the answers right, so don't hire me any more gentlemen, just buy me books, okay?"

Wu Fangming was very happy: "Okay! As long as you get the answer right, I will do what you want!"

Wu Chen's eyes lit up: "What you say is what you say! Mom! You have to testify for me! Don't let dad play tricks!"

Chen Xiufang watched the father and son quarreling with a smile. Hearing this, she gave her husband a sideways look and smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you pass your father's test, mother will definitely testify for you!"

Wu Fangming glanced at Chen Xiufang, turned his head and hummed and asked: "Then I ask you what Buddhism cultivates? What does Taoism cultivate? What does Confucianism cultivate?" He intentionally asked a difficult question to test Wu Dust, so that the little guy knows what the sky is high and the earth is thick!

Wu Chen thought for a while: "Buddhism cultivates the relationship between man and heart. Taoism cultivates the relationship between man and nature. Confucianism cultivates the relationship between people."

Wu Fangming was silent after hearing this, thinking about it carefully, the knowledge of these three schools is really like this.However, he did not believe that at Wu Chen's age, he could sum up the original intentions of these three theories in a few simple sentences.Maybe this little guy extracted these few sentences from that book, and it's not necessarily true.It seems to be a difficult question.What's the deal?

Wu Fangming walked to the bookshelf and took out a book casually: "Can you recite this book?"

Wu Chen glanced at the cover, and then he memorized a book of nearly [-] words and finished it.Wu Fangming was shocked, and Chen Xiufang was also stunned.Can this little guy really recite it?

Wu Fangming still didn't believe it, and took out another copy casually.Ask Wu Chen to memorize according to the specified chapters.Wu Chen complied without any mistakes.One book, two books, three books, memorizing by chapter, memorizing by paragraph, memorizing backwards, memorizing sequentially, Wu Chen made no mistakes.

The study room became quiet, only the sound of Xiao Hei sweeping the floor with his tail flicking from time to time.

Wu Fangming was not overjoyed, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes. He looked at Wu Chen and said calmly: "Although you can memorize these books, do you understand the truth in the books?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and then said honestly: "Some understand, some vague."

Wu Fangming nodded: "That's right. Although you have a good memory, you still can't keep up with your understanding, and your knowledge is still insufficient. It's not for nothing that you can be called a gentleman. Learning things and doing knowledge are not just memorization. Memorize it by rote. You have to understand its meaning, understand its reason, and do what it does, and then you can truly learn the knowledge. As a human being, you must be humble. The so-called three-person walk, there must be my teacher, that’s the truth.”

Wu Chen thought for a while: "Father, what Buddhism cultivates is the relationship between people and the heart. Then why does the Buddha still want to cast down demons? Is it Weixin or Weiwo? Why does Confucianism cultivate the relationship between people and people? High and low? Taoism cultivates the relationship between man and nature, why does it still need to enter the world? Is nature important? Or people? Why is what this book says different from reality?"

Wu Fangming was dumbfounded, never expecting his son to ask such a question.He didn't even think about these questions. He really didn't know what kind of strange things were in this little guy's mind.

Leaving the study, Chen Xiufang took a sneak look at her husband, teasingly said: "I was speechless after being asked by my son, do you feel that I have read the books for so many years in vain? Seeing your unhappy face, that is our son, you You should be happy."

Wu Fangming sighed silently: "Should I be happy? It's a good thing for a child to be smart. But, madam! It's a good thing to be smart, but Hui Yiyao!"
