The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

"Jade is different from gold and silver. Gold and silver are linked to currency, while the value of jade is only related to its rarity, which is why jade is said to be priceless."

"Was it really a coincidence that Tian Tian bought that jade pendant? What could she possibly know? I've never talked to her about these things before."

Ye Zhao disagreed. When she was a child, she looked at her mother's dressing box and also liked all kinds of exquisite ornaments.

"You must like it because you like it. Only you would treat jade as just a stone."

Li Shengli smiled憨厚ly.

Thinking of my mother naturally brings to mind my younger brother, whom I haven't seen for many years.

If Ye Zhao had known her younger brother would leave so early, she would have gone there herself no matter what.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

"Old Li, the Ji family is having a wedding in the first month of the lunar year, so I have to go there. After the wedding, on my way back, I'd like to visit my younger brother's grave."

"You should go."

"Is Ye Zhengqing's case closed? Will it be a problem if I go over there?"

"The Ye Zhengqing who came to our house is not the girl from their village. She has been replaced and is now being secretly detained."

"That?"

Li Shengli shook his head.

"The person who assassinated Yuan Chao has nothing to do with Ye Zhengqing. The reason for crashing his car was to silence the people who helped escort him. It's a separate case, and they didn't discuss it with me in detail. As for whether the mastermind behind it has been caught, it's not appropriate to inquire."

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. I'm already grateful that they survived."

"This isn't a personal grudge, I understand."

Li Shengli patted his wife on the shoulder.

"The military academy has already made arrangements, and Yuanchao will be able to enroll after the New Year."

"During the year or two he's recovering from his injury, he can get a university degree, which will be very important for his future promotion."

Ye Zhao smiled as she looked at the white wall opposite.

"Making a name for oneself is the ambition of a good man. Now that I'm old, all I hope for is that my children are happy and well."

"The little sparrows are safe in their cages, but what will happen to them if we leave? Will they starve to death?"

Ye Zhao glared at Li Shengli.

"Everyone understands the道理 (principle/reason), but people are just so contradictory."

Li Shengli chuckled, "Go to sleep. The two little sparrows at home are waiting for us to feed them properly."

Li Tian and Li Zilong have developed an early-rising biological clock.

I have never missed a single morning exercise session, and even on rainy days, I will exercise indoors.

Although the two months of training did not show any results in kung fu, their physical condition had improved significantly.

The most obvious thing is that neither of the children has ever had a minor cold.

His appetite has increased, and he has also grown noticeably taller.

And now that she's finished training, Li Tian will no longer lazily lie on the sofa.

"Dad, I've noticed you're still quite fair-skinned, and your skin has improved a lot."

"Of course! I'm even fairer than your mother. You're so good-looking because you took after me."

Li Tian rolled her eyes; this person really couldn't handle praise.

"Don't believe me? Go compare it to our wedding photo."

Li Tian had already finished wiping Li Yuanchao's face and was now wiping her hands with a handkerchief.

"You really can't tell from the photo."

"You'll understand when you meet your uncle; the two siblings are most alike."

Could it be?

"Is my uncle coming to our house?"

"He doesn't have time to come out. Your uncle is getting married in the first month of the lunar year, and your grandma will definitely be going. Does he think he won't take you with him?"

Good heavens, is she finally going on a long trip?

"Are you taking a plane?"

Li Yuanchao pinched Li Tian's small hand between two fingers.

"You guessed it."

"The air route from Beijing to Hohhot was opened at the beginning of the year. You're lucky; otherwise, you'd have to take a train for a whole day and night."

Li Tian happily spun around in circles a few times.

"Dad, can you go?"

"We'll see how well I recover. If I can't walk, I won't go and cause trouble for others."

Li Tian was stunned for a moment, then pressed her face against Li Yuanchao's hand.

"You're no trouble. I'm just glad you're alive."

These are Li Tian's honest thoughts.

Li Yuanchao's nose tingled, and a tear unconsciously slid to the corner of his mouth.

As the car rolled over, his last thought was what to do about Tian Tian; he hadn't had time to plan anything for her.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we're talking about something happy, why are you crying!"

Li Tian tiptoed and wiped Li Yuanchao's face.

The child spoke in a very serious tone, which instantly amused Li Yuanchao, but he had to suppress his laughter.

"I didn't cry, and Daddy was happy too."

"I'm not lying to you."

Li Tian snorted, took the handkerchief, and left.

Liu He came over and pushed Li Yuanchao's wheelchair.

"Commander, my apprentice is going to be something else when he grows up! He's incredibly courageous!"

"That's right, congratulations on taking on a good apprentice."

Liu He burst into laughter.

It is because of such a good family that the commander did not show any sorrow even though he was injured.

"It's snowing, it's snowing..."

Li Zilong shouted as he walked in.

Upon hearing this, Li Tian also ran out.

She loves walking in the snow and having snowball fights, but she hasn't had a proper snowball fight in many years.

As children, we must play to our hearts' content.

Li Yuanchao reminded him.

"Xiao Liu, go and deliver a hat to Tian Tian."

Liu He was about to go to Li Tian's room to get his hat when Ye Zhao stopped him.

"Stop bringing her the hat, let's bring her in for dinner."

"Grandma, I'm going to call Tian Tian."

After Li Zilong finished speaking, he ran out, and it took several minutes for the two of them to come back in.

Ye Zhao scolded him with concern, "Remember to wear gloves and a hat next time you go out to play. Look how red your little nose is."

The two children chuckled and placed their little hands near the radiator.

I didn't dare put it on, it was too hot.

Li Tian was burned when the heating was first turned on.

Because it was snowing, after dinner, Liu He took over the task of taking Li Tian to school.

By the time he returned, the road surface had already turned white.

"Mom, let Aunt Zhang go out with you. It's slippery on the road, so she can keep an eye on you."

Ye Zhao nodded. Given the situation at home, she really couldn't afford any unexpected events.

"Old Li, just cook some noodles for lunch, you two can make do with that."

Lee Seungri waved his hand, indicating that he understood, without taking his eyes off the chess notch.

"Give Yuan Chao a little water, but he can't go without drinking any."

Lee Seungri waved again.

Ye Zhao stood in front of Li Shengli, still feeling uneasy.

Lee Seungri reluctantly raised his head.

"What did I just say?"

Lee Seungri blinked guiltily.

Did you say anything?

Ye Zhao said irritably, "I knew you weren't listening! Can't you just give me a break!"

The old man gave a pleading smile.

"Sister Zhang came with me. You can have some noodles for lunch. Remember to give your son some water. If you can't support him, don't give him too much to drink."

Li Shengli nodded repeatedly, almost patting his chest to guarantee it.

Liu He also took Li Yuanchao to the restroom, asked him what book he wanted to read, and brought it to him.

After thinking it over and finding nothing missing, Ye Zhao slung her bag over her shoulder and went out.
