Chapter 401 Six Hundred Books on a Saturday (Extra Update)
Ivy smiled and embraced the children, speaking softly and gently, "Are you tired from playing? Mommy will take you to the bookstore to buy books, okay?"
"Okay!" The six little ones responded crisply.
With Ivy and Alexander holding their hands, the six little ones happily skipped away from the kindergarten.
Ivy's idea was to buy hundreds of children's favorite fairy tale books during the seven days she and Alexander would spend on their honeymoon. She wanted to have them at home to keep the children occupied so they wouldn't constantly feel the absence of their parents.
For ordinary children, it would be good enough to finish reading one or two books in seven days. But for her six children, who all possessed the Magic Pearl in their bodies and had the ability to remember everything they read, reading a couple of books wouldn't be enough at all.
The bookstore.
As soon as the six little ones entered the store, they were immediately attracted by the delightful scent of books. They ran in every direction, flipping through the pages as they saw the books, memorizing the contents after just finishing them.
Children of the same age were still struggling to make sense of the cartoon images on the book covers with the guidance of their parents. In contrast, these six little ones had already memorized the contents of more than ten books in just a minute.
They eagerly devoured the books and learned from them. Although they were diligent and hardworking, in the eyes of others, these six children were simply causing chaos.
They would flip through the books upon seeing them, then move on after finishing, so what else could they be doing if not causing trouble?
Six or seven staff members rushed over from all directions, ready to chase the six children away, but Ivy and Alexander quickly called the little ones over.
At the fastest speed possible, they led the children to the children's book section.
The bookstore was very quiet, with all the customers diligently selecting books.
Ivy spoke softly, "Don't run around and cause trouble, don't make loud noises. Just choose books here. Each of you can pick 100 books you like. After we finish choosing, we'll leave!"
Although Ivy's voice was small, many people still heard what she said.
Letting the children choose 100 books each!
Did they hear it wrong?
Everyone was skeptical, and then Ivy whispered again, "Each person can choose 100 books, and you can share them with each other at home. That way, each person can read 600 books. I'll give you one week to finish reading these 600 books. Can you do it?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone stared at Ivy in astonishment.
Has this parent gone crazy?
Letting such young children read 600 books in one week!
How could their little hearts bear it?
Just as someone was about to stand up for the children, Alexander lowered his voice and said, "There are many words in these books that you may not recognize. Dad will go and get you a few dictionaries."
Eldie quickly raised his small hand and said, "Dad, you don't need to buy a dictionary. We remember everything in the 'Ancient European Dictionary.' We already know all the ancient European characters."
Sixie vigorously nodded his little head and said, "Yes, it's true. Just now, Professor Grunt showed us the 'Ancient European Dictionary,' and she even tested me!"
"Oh?" Alexander was both shocked and delighted. These little ones were so dedicated.
"Did you take advantage of playing games and memorize the entire 'Ancient European Dictionary'? "
"Well then, Dad will bring you some dictionaries from other countries!"
As he spoke, Alexander went to get the dictionaries.
Under the gaze of everyone, he took one dictionary from each country.
This is insane! The children's father has gone mad! Who would trick their children like this?
Everyone looked at the six children with sympathy, but then heard the six children quietly shout:
"Dad, bring us more!"
"It's too little, not enough for us to read!"
"It would be best to bring a set of textbooks from elementary school to university!"
"And also classic works from various countries, I want to read classics!"
Everyone: "..."
"Hush—" Ivy signaled the children to speak softly and said in a small voice, "If Dad brings so many, can you read them all?"
The six little ones unanimously said, "We can!"
