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

Ye Zhao took out a handkerchief and wiped Li Tian's sweat, without giving a direct answer.

"Go wash up, dinner's ready."

Li Tian responded with a smile.

Her family wasn't particularly wealthy, but they were definitely not poor.

Before leaving home after breakfast, Li Tian loudly emphasized to her family that no one was allowed to touch her snowman.

Ye Zhao and the others readily agreed.

Why ruin a child's little joy?

Since he couldn't go out, Li Shengli wandered around the room exercising.

"Sir, someone's looking for you."

After asking for clarification, Aunt Zhang placed the microphone on the coffee table.

Li Shengli walked over in an orderly manner.

"Who is it?"

"Old boss, it's me, Erniu. How have you been lately?"

Li Shengli was pleased to recognize the voice of his old subordinate.

People get nostalgic when they get old.

Back when they were fighting the Japanese, Erniu was a soldier in his company and even took a bullet for him.

They shared a deep bond of camaraderie that transcended life and death.

"I'm alright, I'm alright. Are you okay? Is everyone at home doing well?"

"Old leader, I have failed the organization in nurturing me. My son has made a grave mistake. I beg you to save his life."

Upon hearing this, Lee Seung-ri immediately stopped smiling.

"Erniu, you are now a leading cadre in this area. You should be aware that if the child has been wronged, you should seek a thorough investigation from higher authorities. If he has indeed done something illegal or disorderly, then he should be dealt with accordingly."

"No matter how much power we have, it cannot override the law."

"The old leader is right to teach me a lesson, but I have four daughters before me and only this one son. The whole family spoils him. But he is not a very evil person. He was just misled by others."

Lee Seungri frowned.

"What exactly did you do wrong?"

"Some young women looking for work would ask him for help, and he would sleep with them..."

Li Shengli sneered twice.

Is this something that can be excused with a mere charade?

"If you can't control your own desires, then take responsibility for others. What's there to say?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"It was originally a matter of mutual consent, but one of them made a particularly big fuss and wanted to sue that little beast for rape. Her family happens to have some connections, and the case has already been filed."

Lee Seungri really wanted to throw the microphone away.

What utter nonsense! How dare you say that!

Shouldn't someone who commits a crime be punished?

Does the father's hero status absolve the son of his sins?

But Lee Seungri managed to suppress his anger.

"Erniu, do you still remember Tian Rong?"

A soft sob came from the other end of the phone.

When Li Shengli's troops arrived at Erniu's hometown, they encountered a Japanese sweep.

Countless people died or were injured, and cries of grief filled the air.

"Liu Erniu, don't forget, you took up arms and embarked on the revolutionary path because Tian Rong was violated by the Japanese. What, now that you've avenged him, are living a good life, and have become a cadre who's always surrounded by admirers, have you forgotten your roots?"

"A hundred years from now, will you have the face to meet Tian Rong?"

Li Shengli became more and more excited as he spoke.

"What happens if a soldier dares to harass a woman during battle?"

"Execute him on the spot!"

"What right does your son have to bully ordinary people? And what right do you have to protect him? Without your protection, he wouldn't have been driven to such a desperate situation!"

The sobbing on the phone turned into a wail.

Lee Seungri softened his tone slightly, but it remained heavy.

"Erniu, of all the soldiers from that generation, only you and I are left alive. Many didn't even live to see the victory of the War of Resistance, let alone the liberation. Think of those people, what do we have to be dissatisfied with?"

"The Party and the country gave us power, not so that we could oppress the people. Don't forget that we all came from poor backgrounds."

"Don't let yourself become the kind of person you used to hate the most."

"Old boss, I understand, but I only have one son, I can't watch him be ruined..."

Lee Seungri didn't want to hear any more of his excuses.

"Alright, I've made my stance clear: if the child is motivated and ambitious, I'm willing to pave the way for opportunities, but I can't help them get someone out of trouble."

"Let me give you a piece of advice: a crackdown is inevitable, so don't ruin your reputation in your later years."

"Think carefully about what to do."

After saying the last sentence, Li Shengli angrily hung up the phone.

"Don't be angry, calm down."

Ye Zhao heard everything clearly and knew the ins and outs of the matter.

"How can I not be angry? This Erniu is just a city leader and he dares to do this. I don't even dare to think about going any higher."

"Then I don't want to..."

"As leaders, we already have all sorts of benefits and privileges, but there are always some people who are never satisfied."

Li Shengli was genuinely worried for his old comrade-in-arms.

It's still unknown whether he himself has any serious problems.

Don't do anything foolish for your son.

Ye Zhao helped Li Shengli sit down and comforted him.

"That's human nature; everyone has greed."

"Li Yuanchao, listen up! If you dare to do anything wrong, I'll personally send you in."

Li Yuanchao was innocently caught in the crossfire.

"Dad, am I that kind of person?"

Ye Zhao patted Li Shengli unhappily.

"Even if you're angry, don't take it out on yourself!"

Lee Seungri sighed.

"The original proposal from the National People's Congress was to start revolutionary education from childhood, but I think I've changed it. We must focus on the conduct of cadres and also keep their families in check."

Neither Li Yuanchao nor Ye Zhao uttered a sound.

Someone always has to raise this kind of question.

They support it.

Ye Zhao called out to Li Shengli, who was about to leave.

Where are you going?

"I can't get over this feeling until I break a sweat while shoveling snow."

Ye Zhao knew she couldn't persuade him, so she didn't.

"etc......"

Ye Zhao quickly went back inside to get her hat and gloves.

"Just stay in the yard and clean up. Don't go outside, and be careful."

Ye Zhao was worried, so she asked Liu He, who was clearing snow, to keep an eye on things.

Seeing Li Shengli's posture, Liu He dared not sweep the snow anymore; he decided to keep an eye on the man first.

At this age, a fall could have unimaginable consequences.

"Xiao Liu, I'm fine, you go about your business."

Liu He dared not leave, but he couldn't just stand there awkwardly either.

He pulled the cart over and had Li Shengli load the cart while standing in a snow-free area, which would make it much less dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, the snowman that Li Tian and the others had built yesterday was now just a body.

Liu He gasped.

"Commander, those are Tian Tian's snowmen. We told them not to take them away."

"what?"

Li Shengli took another closer look at the round, bulging ball on the car.

Then I remembered that my granddaughter did seem to have mentioned it.

"Just pretend you didn't see that, Xiao Liu."

What could Liu He say? He could only agree.

Lee Seungri picked up the snowball with both hands and put it back on his body.

But it just looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

Li Shengli then went to find Li Tian's little shovel for playing in the snow.

We started making repairs and patching things up.

Liu He offered suggestions on how to find the item.

Seeing that the old man was chatting and laughing, Ye Zhao quickly helped him into the house.

If it weren't for his meddling, Liu He would have cleared all the snow in the yard long ago.
