Ye Zhao glanced at Li Tian and Li Zilong, who were standing quietly at the door.

"If you two finish your homework, stay here and keep your aunt company."

"Okay, Grandma."

Li Tian readily agreed.

After Ye Zhao left, Li Tian went to Li Siwen's bedside.

"Auntie, does it still hurt?"

Li Siwen nodded.

"Serves you right, you'll learn your lesson when you feel the pain!"

Li Siwen looked at Li Tian, ​​her face turning from white to red.

She actually got taught a lesson by a little kid!

Li Siwen pointed angrily at Li Tian, ​​"Li Tiantian, what do you mean?"

"I'm already like this, can't you feel sorry for me?"

Li Tian stood with her arms crossed, showing no fear on her face.

"Our whole family feels sorry for you, but has your boyfriend ever felt sorry for you?"

"Does he really not know how difficult it is to get a ticket?"

"What could be so important that he would abandon you?"

"Love-obsessed people never end well."

Li Siwen opened her mouth wide, but couldn't say a word.

"Tian Tian, ​​I..."

"Auntie, you don't need to explain to us. You're doing it because you want to, and nobody can stop you."

"I'm right in the living room. If you want something, just say it out loud."

After Li Tian finished speaking, she pulled Li Zilong away.

Li Zilong was completely bewildered; he couldn't understand a word Li Tian was saying.

Li Tian didn't explain to him.

What's the point of talking to a real child?

After they left, Li Siwen stared blankly at the ceiling.

She didn't know what was wrong with her either.

As long as Zhang Qizhe speaks to her nicely and gazes at her for a while, she forgets all his faults and becomes infatuated with him again.

It's like being under a spell, unable to break free.

Rationally, she knew that Zhang Qizhe didn't like her that much.

The love between them was completely unequal.

She thought she could influence him through her efforts.

She wouldn't be satisfied without giving it a try.

But she wasn't that hardworking and conscientious.

So she felt conflicted, confused, and torn...

I'm stuck in this relationship and can't find my way.

Lunch had been arranged, but Li Siwen wanted to eat dumplings, and luckily there were some frozen ones in the refrigerator.

It's not difficult to cook another plate of dumplings.

In your own home, you should try your best to satisfy everyone.

When they woke up from their afternoon nap, Li Yuanchao had also returned.

Li Tian, ​​like a little megaphone, first told everyone about Li Siwen's situation.

Li Yuanchao was somewhat angry upon hearing this, but had nowhere to vent his anger.

We can't very well go and lecture Li Siwen again.

"Dad, did you ask Teacher Song about my brother's homeroom teacher?"

She said she hadn't encountered this before, but would ask around.

"What do you think of our teacher? Did she praise me?"

Mentioning this made Li Yuanchao furious again.

"Li Tian, ​​why aren't you paying attention in class? What are you thinking about?"

Li Tian argued, "I was sitting there quietly listening to the lecture."

"Could a teacher possibly wrongly accuse you?"

Li Yuanchao was angry, and raised his voice as he spoke.

"She said you were daydreaming. You looked like you were sitting still, but you were thinking about something else and weren't following her train of thought at all."

Good heavens, do teachers all have the ability to see through things?

Even if she did it, Li Tian would never admit it.

"Dad, I listened to the lesson, and I know everything the teacher said."

Li Yuanchao then remembered that Li Tian was indeed fast and accurate in solving math problems.

No, that's not a reason to skip class.

"Tian Tian, ​​listening attentively in class is a good habit. You can't just stop listening once you've already learned the material, or you might fall behind when you want to listen again."

"Okay, I've got it."

It's good that Li Tian readily agreed so that the topic could be ended sooner.

"You still haven't told me if our teacher, Ms. Song, is nice. Will she become my stepmother?"

Li Yuanchao's expression stiffened for a moment.

Song Li is not her type.

Li Yuanchao doesn't want to find a female version of himself.

Two people with very similar personalities living together might find their lives cold and distant.

Objectively speaking, Song Li would definitely be a good wife.

Li Yuanchao was somewhat conflicted.

Seeing that Li Yuanchao remained silent for a long time, Li Tian had a guess in his mind.

"Don't force yourself if you don't like them. Maybe they don't like you either. What's so great about you? You're never home."

Li Tian's disdain was undisguised.

Li Yuanchao's already conflicted feelings immediately turned into anger.

He reached out and pinched Li Tian's little ear, but dared not use force.

"Your father is dedicated to national defense, not to causing trouble outside."

"How come in your mouth I sound like someone who doesn't do anything productive!"

Li Tian was afraid that his big hands might not be gentle, so she quickly stroked his hair.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, you are a great hero."

Ye Zhao smiled and slapped Li Yuanchao's hand away.

"Then look for other people; there's bound to be someone you both find agreeable."

Anyway, I didn't expect to find a partner on just one blind date.

Li Yuanchao nodded. "Let's take another look."

"Mom, how many foreign exchange certificates do we have left? Tian Tian wants a tape recorder, and I also want to buy you a piano."

"You heard from Tian Tian? Anyway, Tian Tian should buy a singing machine."

Ye Zhao asked Li Yuanchao to go back to her bedroom with her.

"Your dad and I together receive 320 yuan a month, sometimes a little more at the end of the year, which is about 4,000 foreign exchange certificates a year."

"We've already bought all the major items for our home. We usually just buy imported food and daily necessities, which doesn't cost much."

Ye Zhao had a rough idea of ​​how many there were.

But Ye Zhao hasn't tallied the exact numbers in a long time.

Li Yuanchao understood; even if an imported piano cost over ten thousand yuan, his family could afford it.

"Mom, let's not take it today. I'll go check. I don't know if they have it in stock yet."

"Okay, let's take a look first."

After Li Yuanchao said that, Ye Zhao put away the key.

He handed an envelope from the drawer to Li Yuanchao.

"These are this month's foreign exchange certificates, which I happened to have left untouched. Let's take Zilong with us; whatever the two kids want to buy, we can use these."

Li Yuanchao pushed the envelope back.

"Mom, look at what you're saying. I will treat Zilong as my son."

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded, but did not take the envelope back.

Elderly people should try their best to treat everyone equally in order to reduce family conflicts.

"Buy a few more packs of sanitary napkins for your sister. It's been a while since we went there, and our stock is probably almost gone."

Li Yuanchao scratched his head, "Mom, how could I, a grown man, possibly buy these things?"

"You have children now, why are you worrying about these things? They're just ordinary daily necessities, don't overthink it, it'll be fine."

"Alright."

Since Li Siwen couldn't move, he had no choice but to take on the job.

Knowing she was going out, Li Tian had already gone back to her room to change her clothes.

Having not been out for a long time, Li Zilong was also willing to go out for a walk and see the sights.

The three of them took a car straight to Friendship Shopping Mall.

Friendship Shopping Mall is located near the embassy district, making it a place that ordinary people cannot easily access for shopping.

"Hello, please show me your identification."

Li Yuanchao took out his military officer's ID card.

"Do you have any foreign exchange certificates with you? We don't accept paper money here."

Without saying a word, Li Yuanchao took the envelope out of his pocket.

He pulled out a stack of foreign exchange certificates.

"Please come in, everyone. Welcome!"
