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

"Did Zheng Yu bring you back?"

"He also went to the class reunion. He insisted on driving me home, so it wouldn't be too formal."

Li Yuanchao nodded, and seeing that the light was still on in Li Tian's room, he went inside.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Li Tian recognized the footsteps as belonging to her adoptive father.

Li Yuanchao's steps were light, and his pace was precise.

"Not too sleepy yet."

Li Yuanchao walked over and sat down beside Li Tian's bed.

"What's that little head of yours thinking?"

"Dad, do you think my brother will forget his father? Does his father resent Auntie?"

Li Yuanchao reached out and rubbed Li Tian's small hand. "This is something for adults to consider. You don't need to worry about it."

"If you worry too much, you might not grow tall."

"Dad, I'm just worried that my brother will become an ingrate. What if we treat him sincerely, but he still misses that bastard dad?"

Li Yuanchao glanced at Li Tian, ​​wondering why his five-year-old daughter would think so much.

Is it that I'm not providing myself with enough security?

The absence of maternal love is indeed something that no one can truly make up for.

"That's his father, so it's only natural that he cares about him. As for whether Xiao Bo will turn out to be an ungrateful wretch in the future, I don't know."

Li Yuanchao held Li Tian's hand and remained silent for a while.

Since Li Tian was thinking so much, he would offer some necessary guidance.

"None of us know what the future holds, so worrying too much is just being overly anxious. As long as you follow your heart when making choices, you won't regret them."

"Your aunt chose to divorce because she had given up on that man. Pursuing her career and contributing to the country are her personal goals, which I understand and agree with."

"Making this choice did hurt Xiao Bo, but as a mother, she had arranged everything for her son and done her best. Since ancient times, loyalty to the country and filial piety have been difficult to reconcile. Your grandparents have no complaints, and we hope that Xiao Bo can forgive his mother and be proud of her."

Each generation has its own spirit.

To be honest, Li Tian found it hard to understand.

Anyway, she couldn't be that selfless.

If Li Silin returns to Beijing, she can still develop her career. With her by his side to take care of and guide him, Wang Bo will definitely be happier.

"Now that Xiao Bo has come to our home, we will raise him well and truly treat him as a child of the Li family. We can't abandon him just because he might turn out to be ungrateful; we can only raise him with even more care."

"Is it because you don't have a mother and feel sorry for him?"

Li Tian nodded.

There is no solution that is unsolvable, nor can it be hoped for.

But the growth stage that Li Silin missed for Wang Bo cannot be made up for later.

She might try to persuade Wang Bo with grand principles, but that doesn't mean she supports doing so.

Li Yuanchao pulled Li Tian into his arms, "You have your father, and your grandparents, we all love you very much."

Li Tian remained silent.

She has the soul of an adult. Although her family was not well-off, she was not lacking in love during her upbringing and was spiritually rich.

So whether I have a mother or not in this life doesn't matter.

I just don't want another unpleasant stepmother.

"Dad, I want to go to sleep."

Li Tian climbed out of Li Yuanchao's arms and lay down, waving her little hand.

Li Yuan subconsciously lowered his head and sniffed his body. Was the sweat smell that strong?

Were you rejected?

Li Yuanchao took a towel and draped it over Li Tian, ​​saying, "Don't overthink things. If anything happens, Dad will take care of it for you. Go to sleep."

Goodnight, Dad.

"Good night."

Li Yuanchao turned off the lights, closed the door, and went out.

Seeing that the lights were off in his parents' room, Li Yuanchao gave up the idea of ​​going in.

Both children were precocious, but lacked parental companionship and upbringing, so the burden fell on their elderly parents.

Li Yuanchao wanted to earnestly request that they put in more effort.

They encountered Li Siwen, who had just come out of the shower, and Li Yuanchao took her to the yard.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

"I'd like to ask you for a favor. Please come home more often and spend time with these two kids. You know my job; when I'm busy, I can't help it."

Li Siwen casually dried her hair.

"I'll come back often so Mom won't have to worry about me."

"Okay, get some rest."

"Brother, what career do you think has a better future? What career should I choose for myself and for our whole family?"

Li Yuanchao glanced at his sister a few times, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

"What thoughts did tonight's party evoke in you?"

"Ye Xin just arrived in Beijing, so she definitely needs to choose a job, but she hasn't decided what to do yet, so she asked us all for advice."

"My friend Zheng Ye, Zheng Yu's cousin, applied to go to the special economic zone."

"The one in the south?" Li Siwen blurted out.

"Well, since you know this, you should understand that the country will vigorously develop the economy in the future. This is a national policy, and a long-term one at that. Anything that follows the development of the times will have a bright future."

Li Siwen nodded.

Although her brother is a career soldier, he has many friends, is not old-fashioned, and has insightful views.

That's why I wanted to ask for his opinion.

"Ye Xin told me quietly that her father still wanted to arrange for her to work in the Ministry of Coal Industry, but she didn't want to work under the old man's nose."

Li Yuanchao smiled silently; most young people had this thought.

That's what he thought at the time too.

But no matter where they go, as long as they remain in China, they can never escape the label of which family they belong to.

This is both a convenience and a privilege.

It is something that many ordinary people can only dream of but never attain.

For example, his old comrade-in-arms Zhao Peng was not much less capable than him, but he was always stuck at the battalion level and found it difficult to advance further.

The war is over, and without the advantage of military merit, promotion is even more difficult.

"Your family respects your personal choices. If you don't have a clear goal, you can think about how to manage your finances."

Li Siwen nodded.

Her grades were good, but she was definitely not the kind of person her older sister was suited for research.

"You should think more about it, while Tian Tian is thinking too much." Li Yuanchao said and was about to go back into the house.

Li Siwen reached out to stop Li Yuanchao, her face full of excitement, "Brother, you noticed too? Your daughter really doesn't seem like a five-year-old child."

Li Yuanchao looked at his younger sister with a puzzled expression.

"They are precocious, so please take extra care of the two children. Thank you."

precocious?

That sounds nice.

They're all a bit too clever for their own good, almost to the point of being supernatural.

"Didn't you realize that she did it on purpose when she dirtied Wenqing's dress last time?"

Li Yuanchao sighed, "Even if Tian Tian did it on purpose, it only shows that she doesn't like Wen Qing."

Li Siwen blinked. "You spoil the child so much?"

Li Yuanchao frowned. "Is this considered indulgence? That's an exaggeration. Tian Tian is kind-hearted."

Recalling Li Tian's attitude towards Yuan Jun's mother, Li Siwen did not refute this point.

Seeing that Li Siwen had nothing to say, Li Yuanchao went back to his room to get a change of clothes.

He wasn't out for fun for half a day; he was making ample preparations for joining the new unit.

In fact, Li Siwen is also confused not only about her work, but also about her love life.

Li Yuanchao left, and she went back to her room.

At the dinner table, some people brought their partners, and some even brought their spouses.

They basically all belong to their large circle.
