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

"Master, I didn't say anything. What's there to be ashamed of?"

Kong Man looked up into the distance, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Tian Tian, ​​I'm not young anymore. I'm 31 this year, which makes me an old maid. I also have quite a few old injuries."

"Now my boss is introducing me to divorced or widowed women, but I've turned them down whenever I can. I don't want to meet them."

"It's not that I look down on their circumstances, it's just that I feel the relationships within a family of several people are too complicated. I'm not prepared to be a stepmother, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

"It's better to be carefree on your own than to live a life of compromise and resentment with someone you're with."

Li Tian blinked. Did she see through her intention?

Is this a polite refusal?

"Master, don't be discouraged."

"Maybe that handsome guy is good-looking, and his daughter is easy to get along with too."

Kong Man chuckled.

"I'm not a stunning beauty, how dare I dream of a handsome guy? Don't make fun of me."

Li Tian wagged her index finger.

"Master, you're not ugly at all, you have a great figure!"

Kong Man wasn't exactly pretty, and her skin was a bit dark.

But her body proportions were truly the best Li Tian had ever seen.

This praise is absolutely not an exaggeration.

At nearly 170cm tall, she would definitely look good standing next to her father.

Ignoring Kong Man's eye roll, Li Tian continued speaking.

"Besides, it's not like he's never seen a beautiful woman before. What he probably wants is someone he can talk to and who can understand him."

Kong Man glared at Li Tian.

"Why do I feel like you're recommending someone? Are you trying to sell out your master?"

Li Tian chuckled.

"My dad is still single."

Kong Man rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

That wicked disciple!

Arrogant because of favoritism!

She dared to introduce a potential partner to her father at her maternal grandparents' house.

Kong Man pinched Li Tian's ear, but of course, she didn't use much force.

"You little brat, mind your own business and go eat your food and go to your kindergarten."

"Master, look at my face, it's just like my dad's. He's such a handsome man."

Kong Man strode forward with a stern face.

Li Tian jogged to catch up.

"He is in good health..."

Just as she casually mentioned this, Li Tian suddenly remembered that her father still used to use a cane.

It can't be considered healthy.

"He was injured last year and is still recovering; he'll be fine."

"But I absolutely have no bad habits!"

Kong Man couldn't stand Li Tian's persistence any longer and had to stop.

"Li Tian, ​​we're almost at your grandmother's house, let's not bring this up again, okay?"

Li Tian looked at Kong Man. Although her master had been in the military camp for a long time, he still understood human relationships.

"I'll listen to my master and not mention it again, but could you please consider what I said?"

"Not considering it for now!"

"If you really don't want to get married, then I suggest you go to a military academy or a regular university to improve yourself so you can do what you love."

"If you transfer directly back home, you'll have to follow your family's arrangements."

These words struck a chord with Kong Man.

Every letter home contained urging for marriage, and sometimes even included a photo of a man.

She is now in a real dilemma.

But I don't want to settle for just anything.

read?

Perhaps this is a good approach.

Marry a man, and you'll have food and clothing.

If you can support yourself, why do you have to get married?

Marriage should be based on love, not on fulfilling an obligation to someone when you reach a certain age.

Kong Man patted Li Tian on the shoulder.

"You're quite clever and knowledgeable. I'll have to think about your suggestion carefully."

"Master, please take me home."

"Aren't we home now?"

"No, take me back to Beijing, and while you're at it, visit my dad at the military academy. I miss him."

Come again?

She really is her father's good daughter.

We won't give up until we achieve our goal.

"This isn't a question of whether I agree or not; I have to obey your grandfather's orders."

Li Tian grabbed Kong Man's sleeve.

"Master, please promise me first. I'll talk to Grandpa."

Kong Man disgustedly pushed Li Tian away a couple of times.

"I am the master, not the father."

Li Tian playfully clung to Kong Man's arm.

"My dad is in school, my aunt is in school, and my brother is too young, so no one from my family can pick me up. The situation here is similar, so you'll have to make the trip."

Looking at the child's innocent and harmless smile, Kong Man really couldn't bear to refuse.

"I'll make the trip once, I really owe you one."

Li Tian cheered.

"Master is the best."

"You really want to go home? Will your grandma be willing to let you go?"

"Of course I'll miss it, but all good things must come to an end."

"This little mouth is really good at talking; where do all these words come from?"

Li Tian held her head high.

"I got it from reading books. I love learning."

Kong Man pursed her lips, wondering if it was true or not!

The days passed by so quickly, and soon it was time for the spring outing.

Li Tian did not participate in the spring outing, but agreed to visit Yang Ying's home.

Aunt Chen can bake cookies and pastries.

Li Tian then begged her to bake a few batches yesterday and select a few of the best-looking items to wrap up as small gifts.

Since she was giving a gift herself, Li Tian couldn't just do nothing, so she carefully drew a greeting card.

The Yang family also lived in the same compound.

Nie Qian personally escorted Li Tian over.

After knocking on the door, Grandma Yang Ying led her out.

"Sister Nie, you are a rare guest, please come in."

"This must be Li Tian, ​​right? She's so well-behaved!"

Grandma Yang Ying was all smiles, warm yet tactful.

Yang Ying stood obediently beside her grandmother, smiling as she greeted Nie Qian and Li Tian.

"Yang Ying is such a good girl, while our Tian Tian is like a tomboy."

"That's just the child being lively!"

"I have something to do at home, so I won't go in. I'm sorry to trouble you. These are homemade pastries, please don't mind them."

Grandma Yang Ying accepted the gift bag, feeling somewhat flattered.

"You're too kind. Homemade food tastes much better."

"Our Yingying isn't in good health, and this is the first time she's invited a child to our home. It's because Tiantian is so kind-hearted."

The two elderly people exchanged pleasantries, and Yang Ying led Li Tian into the house.

The houses were all built in the same style and had similar layouts, but the Yang family's house was noticeably smaller than the Ji family's.

That's not particularly noticeable; what is noticeable is the Yang family's arrangement.

The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a strong scholarly atmosphere.

Because there is a large wall of books in the living room.

It was covered with large books.

Li Tian couldn't help but walk over.

Wow, you have so many books!

"Yes, my house is mostly filled with books. The study is already overflowing, and the things in the living room are just the most basic ones."

You have to admit it.

It's not something that can be achieved simply by having money.

Only true book lovers will continuously buy books.

"I have many more comic books in my room, do you like them?"

"I like it!"

Yang Ying smiled and led Li Tian to her room.

This room is probably second only to the master bedroom, and it's about the same size as Li Tian's mother's room.

Upon entering, you'll find a prominent bookshelf.
