2. Word analysis.

(1) Understanding of sentences.

① The nine-year-old son of the Yang family in Liang Guo was very clever and wise.

This sentence points out the character the article is about to talk about, as well as the characteristics of the character. It plays the role of summarizing the whole text.

②Kong Junping visited his father. When his father was not there, he called his son out.

Judging from the fact that Kong Junping came to visit the child's father, the relationship between the two families was very good and they often visited each other. So when he learned that the child's father was not there, Kong did not leave immediately, but called out the child. It can be seen that Kong is very familiar with the child.

③It is a fruit set, and the fruit contains bayberry.

Who set the fruit for whom? From the context, we naturally know that the child brought fruit to Kong Junping. It seemed that the child was very polite and good at entertaining guests.

④The hole pointed to the son and said: "This is the fruit of your family." The son replied: "I have never heard that the peacock is the master's poultry."

This is the key point in the story. part. When Kong Junping saw Yangmei and thought of the child's surname, he deliberately teased the child: "This is your family's fruit." It means that your surname is Yang, and it is called Yangmei. You are the same family! This easy joke is very interesting. Humorous and interesting. The child responded: "I've never heard that the peacock is your home bird." What's so clever about this answer? Kong Junping made a fuss about his surname, and the child also made a fuss about his surname. Kong Junping's surname "Kong" came to mind. The best thing is that he did not bluntly say "the peacock is the master's poultry", but used a negative method, saying "I have never heard that the peacock is the master's poultry", and responded tactfully, which not only showed due politeness, He also expressed the meaning, "Since the peacock is not your family's bird, how can the bayberry be my family's fruit?" Kong Junping was speechless. Because he had to admit that the peacock was his home bird, what he said could only stand up. This is enough to reflect the child's quick thinking and wit and humor in language.

The "poultry" in the sentence is different from the current "poultry". "Home" and "poultry" here express their respective meanings independently.
