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

It doesn't really matter who gives you a ride; the car is parked in the courtyard, so it's fine if they don't pick you up or drop you off.

But since Comrade Li Yuanchao volunteered, there was no reason to refuse.

Li Tian pulled Li Zilong along obediently.

Li Yuanchao was carrying a schoolbag in each hand. Seeing that the two children hadn't caught up yet, he stopped and waited.

When they caught up, she consciously stepped between the two children.

Li Zilong was a little unhappy, but then he thought that his uncle wasn't home often, so there was no need to make a fuss.

"Tian Tian, ​​are you having trouble with your studies? Are you able to keep up with the pace?"

"It's alright. I represented the school in the arts festival a few days ago and won first prize."

"Uncle, Tian Tian went to perform at the Great Hall of the People. She was so tired when she got back that she didn't even have dinner."

Li Yuanchao looked at his daughter, who had just reached his waist, and felt a pang of heartache.

"Don't exhaust yourself over this. If you don't like it, we won't go anywhere."

That's quite a domineering statement.

Li Tian likes it.

Honestly, having experienced it once, Li Tian really doesn't want to attend next year's celebration.

Watching shows is entertainment, but acting in shows is a tiring job.

Li Tian smiled and hooked her father's finger.

"Stage performances are quite good for personal development. Now I'm not nervous no matter which stage I'm on."

"But waiting in the wings is really tiring, and I don't want to go to any more big shows in the future."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go!"

Li Yuanchao spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

While participating in activities is a good form of exercise, it's not the only way.

Li Tian, ​​afraid of neglecting Li Zilong, continued, "Dad, my brother is also very good. He beat Grandpa Zhu in chess, and although he didn't beat Grandpa Guo, he didn't lose by many pieces."

Li Yuanchao laughed twice, understanding what his daughter meant.

He reached out and patted his nephew on the shoulder.

"They're all good kids, they're all wonderful!"

"Dad, my Master Kong has busted a child trafficking ring here. Have you checked on your end?"

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint appeared in Li Yuanchao's eyes.

Afraid of frightening the child, they immediately restrained themselves.

"We've investigated, and there is indeed a problem. Several children have already been rescued, and the police are still following up."

Upon hearing this, Li Tian stopped asking questions.

If someone investigates and follows up, that's considered taking it seriously enough.

The evils of thousands of years cannot be eradicated; we can only try our best to redeem them.

"Did Zilong become the class monitor this year?"

Li Tian started talking about the election, and Li Yuanchao listened attentively, while Li Zilong occasionally chimed in with a word or two.

The three of them walked along the tree-lined path, leaving behind a trail of laughter.

"Dad, Uncle Chu is injured. Those people probably won't let this go."

The smile on Li Yuanchao's face immediately faded when Chu Xun was mentioned.

After watching Liu He's story, I need to find some time to go see Chu Xun as well.

No one could have imagined that things would be so complicated.

Apart from Chu Xun, no one knew what Cheng Yue looked like.

But that's not necessarily true.

If Cheng Yue can so heartlessly abandon her child, what else is she incapable of? She might not even reveal her true colors in front of Chu Xun.

"Now that Uncle Chu is no longer of any use, who do you think they'll send to approach our family?"

With Liu He's situation still uncertain, Li Yuanchao has no immediate plans to replace him.

Frequent personnel changes make it easier for others to exploit loopholes.

"Dad, you're single now, so be careful of women who get close to you."

"What if they try to pin it on you and demand you take responsibility?"

Li Yuanchao vigorously ruffled Li Tian's hair.

Listen to this!

What kind of talk is that? Is he that easily offended?

Is it possible for just anyone to get close to him?

Li Tian slapped Li Yuanchao's large hand away, and from this action, she knew that he was embarrassed and angry by what she had said.

"Dad, don't take this lightly. Be wary of anyone who asks for your help on the street."

"Saving others is the right thing to do, but you must protect yourself first."

That makes a lot of sense.

The little girl's hair was so smooth that Li Yuanchao couldn't help but reach out and rub it again.

They really treat her like a poodle!

Li Tian was furious.

He slapped Li Yuanchao's hand a few times, then strode forward, stroding his hair.

"Uncle, Tian Tian hates it when people mess up her hair, really..."

Li Zilong shook his head and ran after Li Tian.

Did this make your daughter angry?

It seems so.

Li Yuanchao quickly caught up with the two children.

"Tian Tian, ​​I've remembered everything you just said. I'll definitely be careful."

"I know you're doing this for Dad's own good, I understand."

"Daddy promises not to mess up your hair next time, okay?"

"What would you like to eat? I'll buy it for you on my way out."

Li Tian glanced at Li Yuanchao, who was trying to ingratiate himself.

"I want braised pork knuckle."

Li Yuanchao smiled brightly.

"I'll definitely buy it for you, it's from a well-established brand."

Of course, we can't forget our nephew. The two kids keep each other company, which makes things much easier for them.

"What does Zilong want to eat?"

"I want to eat a cream cake."

"Okay, I've got it."

As they approached the parking lot, Li Tian reached out and took her schoolbag.

Li Zilong followed suit.

"Dad, we're going to school now. You should go back and get some sleep."

Suddenly, his nose stung, and Li Yuanchao quickly sniffed.

Fearing he hadn't covered it up, he lowered his head.

It seems like I've become a bit more sentimental since this trip back.

The daughter knows he has a hard time traveling and feels sorry for him.

"Okay, after you get on the bus, I'll go home and get some sleep."

Goodbye, Uncle.

Li Zilong got into the car first.

Goodbye, Dad.

Li Tian squeezed Li Yuanchao's fingers, then let go and got into the car without looking back.

Li Yuanchao rubbed his fingers together, then looked at the car with a relaxed expression.

Children started arriving one after another, and Li Yuanchao moved to the side.

He planned to go back after the car left.

"Why are you back?"

Li Yuanchao recognized Zhu Lingling from her voice.

"I heard about yesterday's bombing and I'm worried about my family."

Zhu Lingling nodded and waved to Zhu Nan.

The children have gone to school, and old friends stroll back home.

Are you off today?

"I've taken leave; my mom isn't feeling well."

Li Yuanchao responded with an "oh".

He listened to Ye Zhao talk about the Zhu family's affairs. There's no point in commenting on other people's family matters; just listen and move on.

Although Li Tian and Zhu Nan got along very well, he never got along with Zhu Nan's father and they weren't really friends.

He always looked down on Zhu Nan's father's spoiled and dissolute lifestyle.

"If we can't go out this year, there will always be opportunities next year or the year after."

Zhu Lingling smiled and nodded.

"How many years will you study at military academy? Will it affect your promotion?"

"Normally, it takes four years to get a degree, but I'll try to finish it in three years."

This was inspired by his daughter skipping a grade, and after inquiring, he confirmed that it was feasible.

"It might have some impact in the short term, since I haven't been involved much in the management of the team, but in the long run, education is very important."

"Yes, we will also consider academic qualifications when evaluating professional titles in the future."

"Yuan Chao, we need people for construction in the south. I've already signed up."

Li Yuanchao looked at Zhu Lingling with a somewhat complicated expression.

Zheng Ye went there for his career advancement.

What about Zhu Lingling?

The capital city is home to many renowned doctors; if you want to improve your medical skills, it's definitely best to stay here.

"Lingling, the conditions in the south are still quite poor. You don't need to go and suffer like that."
