Wangcai Village has an old saying specifically used to describe children.
Seven or eight years old, even dogs would despise.
It means that when children reach the ages of seven or eight, they become universally hated for their mischievous and troublesome behaviors.
Chen An'an is only six years old this year, soon to be seven.
And he's already showing signs of reaching that "even dogs would despise" stage.
Sitting in the car, waving his little hand, those unaware might think he's the daughter of a high-ranking official on a tour.
Those who know better would see him as the foolish little girl from a landlord's family.
"That An'an, what did you learn today?"
Did she actually learn anything?
Chen An'an felt puzzled, having attended a day of classes yet feeling as if she hadn't.
The moment class ended, she forgot everything.
"Dad, are you asking me?"
The shrewd me decisively chose to play dumb.
