"Guoguo's getting smarter every day!" Gu Chengye exclaimed with a smile. "Let Second Uncle test your skills. If we start with ten eggs and eat three, how many are left?"
Guoguo, brimming with confidence, replied, "Seven! Because subtraction means taking away, Daddy already explained it to me."
"Very good! Now, how many words have you learned?"
Guoguo answered, "I'm not sure, but I can read picture storybooks now!"
Mrs. Yao, surprised by Guoguo's progress, asked, "Picture storybooks? The kind Zhou Ying writes?"
"Yes," Gu Chengrui confirmed. "They're simpler books, perfect for beginners like Guoguo."
Mrs. Liu, eager to hear about the birth, turned to Gu Chengrui. "How is Zhou Ying? Did she have a difficult delivery?"
"Everything went well," Gu Chengrui explained. "She went into labor early in the morning, and the baby arrived at dawn. She's just a bit tired because the baby is quite plump."
