"Oh!" Seeing this, Boris knew that Victor wouldn't let him play games anymore if he didn't do his homework.
For the sake of his game, he opened his math homework slowly.
Victor looked at Boris. He held his pen but didn't write. The math of the first grade was very simple. What they learnt was simple addition and subtraction.
"Amelia, hurry up and do it." Victor was anxious. He had been sitting here for almost an hour. If he was dealing with official business, he could deal with a lot of things in an hour.
Boris looked at Victor pitifully, "Uncle, I can't do this."
Hearing this, Victor almost pissed off, "Boris, this is addition and subtraction within ten, but you tell me you can't do it. What did the teacher say in class? Did you listen to him carefully?"
Boris looked embarrassed and blushed. He looked up at Victor, unwilling to lower his head to look at his homework.
Victor's eyes suddenly darkened, like the cold and gloomy deep sea.
"Boris, don't look at me. There is no answer on my face. Now reach out your ten fingers. Look at them carefully and do this sum. Victor said with anger in his tone.
Hearing this, Boris lowered his head and took a look at the sum. He counted on his fingers, "Uncle, that's six."
"Uh..." Victor was totally dumbfounded.
He counted on his fingers, but he still miscalculated it.
"Boris, you're such a genius."
Hearing this, Boris picked up the pen happily and was about to write down the answer.
Victor felt a tightness in the chest when he saw this.
Why did he want to cry at this moment?
"Stop!" Seeing that Boris was about to write it down, Victor immediately cried out.
Boris looked at him in confusion, "Uncle, isn't it right? Didn't you say that I'm a genius just now?"
Victor didn't know what to say. He was indeed a genius.
Eden looked at them and shook her head helplessly, "Victor, don't be so excited and shout at him like that. You have to teach him patiently. Boris didn't study it before, so you have to teach him how to do it patiently."
Victor was at a loss. He had been sitting here for more than an hour. It was too difficult for him to teach Boris.
Seeing this, Eden knew that he had lost his patience.
She sat down beside Boris and said with a smile, "Boris, how about me teaching you?"
"Okay! You're gentler than uncle, and you're beautiful. I want you to teach me." Boris looked at Eden with a smile.
Eden was speechless.
She didn't quite understand what Boris was thinking.
"No, aunt, the teacher said in class that we didn't need to review it. Tomorrow, the teacher will tell us a new lesson." Boris would rather play the game than read one more word.
"Well..." Eden was helpless.
She knew that if it went on like this, Boris would only be addicted to the games. How could he be interested in study?
She thought about it and said, "Boris, we've almost used up all the daily necessities at home. How about going to the supermarket with me? You can buy cotton candy and delicious roasted squid kebab at the entrance of the supermarket. Why don't we go there together?" She could only divert Boris's attention and let him slowly get used to the time without a phone.
"Roasted squid kebab?" Boris looked at Eden who was smiling brilliantly. He was instantly moved.
In the past, no one accompanied him or went out to play with him, and he was alone at home, so he could only play games. Since Eden wanted to take him out to play, he was naturally very happy.
Boris immediately went to the door to change his shoes, "Aunt, uncle, let's go together. I like roasted squid kebab very much. What's more, buy me a doll. My cowboy doll is broken, so I have to buy a new one. I want to buy rainbow candy in the supermarket."
Eden smiled. She finally realized that Boris was too lonely because no one played with him in ordinary times.
Kenny, Ricky and Gia were different. Even if Ricky was not at home, Kenny would play with Gia. He wouldn't let her feel lonely or let her do dangerous things.
But Boris was the only child in his family. When he had nothing to do, he would watch TV and play with his phone most of the time.
Eden glanced at Victor who was sitting still and said, "Victor, are you not going with us?"
Victor glanced upstairs, "Eden, if we are all out, what about Kenny, Ricky and Gia?"
Eden grinned, "My three children are very obedient. Even if I am not at home, they will not do dangerous things. Besides, they will study at night and will not go out. We should change Boris's bad habit first so that he won't feel so hard when he goes to school with the three children. Graciella has just come back, and she is busy with her business. She can't care about Boris and set up her business at the same time. If we have time, we can take Boris to play and shoulder her heavy burden."
