Chapter 235: Because of You, I Almost Became Mentally Retarded (33)

"This is binary, this is octal, this is hexadecimal, this is base 64."

Su Mingzhe quickly explained the meaning of some symbols to Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao could still accept the previous binary and octal calculations, after all, they were numbers within ten.

But when it came to hexadecimal and sixty-fouradecimal systems, Lin Miaomiao couldn't even understand them.

The school bell rings.

Jiang Tianhao, who was standing next to him, saw that Lin Miaomiao looked distracted and dizzy, and couldn't help but laugh:

"Miao Miao, do you understand what Master Su is saying? With your IQ, you'd better not seek abuse in the future."

"Haozi, ignore me! I still don't believe it. I won't understand it."

When Lin Miaomiao retorted, she was very domineering, but when she looked back at what Su Mingzhe had explained to her, she had completely forgotten it.

At this time, Lin Miaomiao had to speak softly again and asked:

"Xiao Zhezhe, what are you calculating using these bases?"

“A lot of things will be used.”

Although Su Mingzhe knew that Lin Miaomiao was a poor student, it was rare to see her take the initiative to study, and he also wanted to improve her knowledge, so he started by talking about the application of binary.

"One is this horizontal line, which we call 'yang' or 'yang yao'. Two is the sum of the two yang yaos, which we call 'yin' or 'yin yao'. In binary calculations, especially in ancient China, there is no concept of 'zero'. 'Yin' actually means 'hidden' or 'advanced'."

"Its practical applications are many, for example, the simplest electrical appliances use 'on' and 'off'. Press once, it's on, press again, it's off. So 'on' is 'yang', and 'off' is 'yin'. More advanced applications, such as Morse code, also use binary. 'Long', which is a long line like this, can be tapped with a heavier hand when struck in front of the face, representing one. And 'short', which is tapped lightly or quickly, is zero. The English letter 'A' can be tapped like this..."

When Su Mingzhe first told Lin Miaomiao the story, not many people listened.

After all, the word "binary" is not very attractive.

But when Su Mingzhe introduced elements such as "Yin Yang" and "Morse Code", a group of students who were curious about extracurricular knowledge were finally attracted.

Lin Miaomiao was also completely attracted.

Seeing that Lin Miaomiao was interested, Su Mingzhe simply finished his talk in one breath.

When he looked at his watch again, it was already past nine o'clock.

School ends at 8:40, and it has been more than 20 minutes since school was over.

Su Mingzhe quickly concluded and said to everyone:
"If you can remember how to type these English letters, you can also remember the Morse code. Well, it's getting late, everyone should go back and wash up and rest."

"Goodbye."

"Bye, Boss!"

On Su Mingzhe's first day of school, he impressed a group of younger brothers with his knowledge.

"As expected of the top scorer in the high school entrance exam."

After returning to the dormitory, her roommates Deng Xiaoqi, Liang Yunshu, and Wei Xindi surrounded Lin Miaomiao and began to ask:
“Miao Miao, is it good for our study committee members to study hard since childhood?”

"Not only has she been a good student since she was young, she even started talking earlier than me."

Speaking of this, Lin Miaomiao became very angry:
"You don't know what happened when we were little. I was born half a month later than him. He learned to talk when he was six months old, and he could walk when he was eight months old. But when I was one year old, my parents saw that I still couldn't talk. They almost thought I was mentally retarded, took me to seek medical treatment everywhere, and even thought about having a second child."

"Ha ha……"

The three roommates laughed in a very unkind way.

"Don't laugh, do you think this is the end?"

Lin Miaomiao continued to complain:

"I just learned to talk, my parents were very happy, they took me to Uncle Su's house and told him, 'Our Miaomiao can talk now.' But guess what happened? His parents were so crazy that they started teaching him to recite Tang poems. We were only one year old, but they were so crazy about educating their children that they almost killed me."

"Hahaha……"

The three roommates laughed again after hearing this.

Lin Miaomiao continued to accuse:
"My parents worked hard to raise me until I was three years old. I was cute, articulate, and could recite Tang poems and sing nursery rhymes. I thought I would be the most handsome kid in kindergarten. Guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"Su Mingzhe was so good that he just rolled his eyes. On the first day, the teacher asked everyone to show their talents. I just recited a song called "The Goose", but Su Mingzhe sang Su Dongpo's "Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear?" From that day on, wherever Su Mingzhe was, everyone's eyes were on him. Ordinary kids like us lived in a dark and bleak life..."

When Lin Miaomiao and her friends were talking about Su Mingzhe, Su Mingzhe had not yet left the school.

Lin Dawei called.

Su Mingzhe parked his bicycle on the side of the road and quickly answered the phone:

"Uncle Lin."

"Azhe, is school over?"

Lin Dawei heard a car horn on the other end of the phone and reached out to make a hushing gesture to his wife Wang Shengnan.

"Uncle Lin, school is over now. Are you calling me to ask about Miaomiao?"

Su Mingzhe did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, reporting to Lin Dawei about Lin Miaomiao's performance today.

In general, the experimental class has heavy learning tasks and fierce competition among students. Poor students like Lin Miaomiao find it a bit difficult, but there is still hope of catching up.

"Uncle Lin, how about this? I'll ask Miaomiao to call you back tomorrow?"

"Thank you for your help, Azhe."

Lin Dawei hung up the phone and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I said Miaomiao didn't call, there must be a reason. Look, her phone was taken away by the life teacher."

"It's better to take it away, so that I won't be so busy playing with my phone that I forget to study."

Wang Shengnan said a few words, and seeing that the man was still sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but get anxious:

"What are you still doing sitting here? Go out and buy a phone card for your daughter and send it to her tomorrow."

“It’s the same if I buy it tomorrow.”

Lin Dawei wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw that his wife's face looked strange, he quickly waved his hand, put on his coat, and walked outside.

the next day.

Su Mingzhe still arrived at school before 6:30 and accompanied his classmates for a morning run. After the morning run, Su Mingzhe and Lin Miaomiao still ate in the classroom.

Knowing that Lin Miaomiao is growing up, today’s meal is extra sumptuous.

As soon as I opened the thermal box, I saw a large jar of preserved egg and meat porridge, as well as four fragrant steamed buns.

Lin Miaomiao didn't mind the heat, she picked one up and took a big bite, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face:
"Xiao Zhezhe, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You can even make donkey meat hotpot. Any girl who marries you in the future will be blessed."

Su Mingzhe rolled his eyes after hearing this:
"Is it fun for you to show off like this?"

It took Lin Miaomiao a long time to react, and her face turned red. Seeing that there was no one in the class, she muttered:
“Who wants to show off?”

After the two of them had breakfast, the classmates came into the classroom one after another.

At this moment, Su Mingzhe's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lin Dawei calling again. He simply pressed the answer button and handed the phone to Lin Miaomiao's ear, letting her answer it herself:

"Miao Miao, your father's."

"Your father's!"

Lin Miaomiao didn't even turn her head and replied directly.

"Miaomiao?"

Lin Dawei became happy when he heard his daughter's voice, but why was the voice wrong?

Sounds like you're cursing?
"dad?"

When Lin Miaomiao heard her father's voice coming from the phone, she got so angry that she burped.

When Lin Dawei heard the hiccups, he became anxious: "Miao Miao, where are you?"

"I'm in class, Dad, what are you calling about?"

"I'm here to give you a calling card."

Lin Dawei was originally at the gate of Su Mingzhe's community. Now that he knew that Su Mingzhe and Lin Miaomiao were already in the class, he drove to the school gate.

Fortunately it’s not far and we’ll be there soon.

"dad."

Lin Miaomiao almost ran over. This was the first time she had left her parents and lived independently since she was a child. After the reunion, she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Uncle Lin."

Su Mingzhe also ran over.

Yes, Lin Miaomiao dragged me here.

Lin Miaomiao was afraid that Wang Shengnan would follow her, so she asked someone to accompany her to avoid being scolded.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Dawei was the only one there.

The parents chatted with each other for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Lin Dawei asked them to go back to the classroom quickly.

"Dad, goodbye."

"Uncle Lin, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

On the way back, they came across a notice screen. Lin Miaomiao suddenly pulled Su Mingzhe, pulled him to the screen, and asked, "Xiao Zhezhe, various clubs and organizations in the school are recruiting new members these days. What do you want to sign up for?"

"I don't want to report anything. It's a waste of time."

Su Mingzhe really didn't want to play with a bunch of little kids. For him, having Lin Miaomiao was enough.

"You think so too?"

Lin Miaomiao excitedly raised her pale little hand and hit it with Su Mingzhe:
"I've thought about it, and these clubs are boring. But we have to sign up for one anyway, so how about you and I sign up to be the announcer in the radio studio?"

"The announcer is boring."

Su Mingzhe knew that in the TV series, Lin Miaomiao liked this job because she could leave get out of class twenty minutes early one day a week.

However, the job of an announcer is really boring.

"How can it be boring? It's very interesting. I've asked many people about this. As a broadcaster, you can leave get out of class 20 minutes earlier. 20 minutes..."

Lin Miaomiao wanted to persuade her further, but Su Mingzhe sighed, reached out and tapped her on the forehead.

As Lin Miaomiao cried out in pain, Su Mingzhe spoke to her earnestly:

"Miao Miao, I know you're not good at math, but I didn't expect you to be this bad. You only calculated that as a broadcaster, you can rest for 20 minutes more a week. Have you ever thought about another problem? Because of these 20 minutes, how long will it take you to make up for the knowledge you missed? You are a typical example of picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons, don't you understand?"

Lin Miaomiao was hit and tears began to well up in her eyes. She resisted the urge to cry and grumbled in grievance:

"I just don't understand. I'm not good at math. I just like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons..."

"Be obedient, Miaomiao."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that he used too much force to make Lin Miaomiao cry. He was a little panicked for a moment and tried to comfort her:
"Miao Miao, how about this? As long as you study hard and don't think about applying for a job as a broadcaster, I'll go shopping with you on the weekends. How about that?"

"Don't you like shopping?"

Lin Miaomiao and Su Mingzhe have been playing together since childhood and are very familiar with each other. Seeing that Su Mingzhe was willing to make such a big sacrifice for her, she was quite moved for a moment.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Miaomiao refused and changed her request:
"Forget about shopping, but have barbecue with me every week."

"no problem."

Su Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Miaomiao's tears rolling around but finally not falling.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly stretched out her white little hand and said:

"Then let's pull the hook."

"Hook."

"We'll make a promise and stick to each other for a hundred years. Anyone who changes his mind will be a bad guy!"
