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

"Mom, Tian Tian is still young, please keep this jade pendant for now."

Ye Zhao accepted it.

"In the past few years, there were one political movement after another, and everyone lived in fear and trepidation. So when you got married, neither of our families brought out any of these material possessions. Don't worry, I will leave everything that should be given to Ji Yun to Tian Tian."

"After we pass away, each of you will receive a portion."

"Mom, why are you saying all this now!"

Li Yuanchao didn't want to hear this.

I just hope my parents will always be well.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's only a matter of time."

Li Yuanchao lowered his head.

On the battlefield, he had seen countless deaths, but he could not bear to see his loved ones die.

When Ji Yun sacrificed herself, his heart was ripped out.

But his comrades were still fighting on the front lines, and he didn't even have time to be sad.

All I could do was wipe away my tears and keep moving forward.

He was a great hero in the eyes of outsiders, but not a good son, a good husband, or a good father.

When they got married, he rushed back from the south and held a very small ceremony at home.

She only stayed at home for a week after the wedding before returning home.

Ji Yun also went to the battlefield when Li Tian was two years old.

Even if the couple lives in the same place, they have very few opportunities to meet.

By the time Li Tian was five years old, the number of times the father and son had met could be counted on one hand.

It was only after the war ended that the father and son gradually became acquainted during this holiday.

Looking at the silent Li Yuanchao, Ye Zhao could more or less guess what he was thinking.

He patted Li Yuanchao's arm.

"Son, you have to look forward. You haven't let anyone down, and we're proud of you."

Li Shengli knew his son had a lot on his mind, and said, "As a soldier, you have done your duty, and that's enough."

Li Yuanchao nodded.

The understanding from family is the best comfort.

"Dad, will this year's National Day banquet be the same as in previous years? Will we be assigned security duties?"

Li Shengli shook his head, "I don't know the specifics yet. These days everything is about innovation, so there will definitely be big changes. The number of participants probably won't be as many as before."

As for whether he is still on the list of invitees.

Li Shengli didn't think much of it.

"Don't ask too many questions, soldiers just obey orders."

Li Yuanchao nodded, "I understand, I won't talk about it outside."

"Yuan Chao, we have always been very strict with you since you were a child, because if we are not strict, it will harm both ourselves and others."

"We heard some bad rumors while we were taking a walk the other day."

"It's said that some children of military and political officials use the guise of arranging jobs for others to amass wealth and rape women—this is a crime! They're worse than animals!"

"Nobody dares to do anything about it?"

This was Li Yuanchao's first thought.

Li Shengli glanced at Li Yuanchao and said, "Some people spend their whole lives shouting to overthrow bureaucrats, but they themselves become bureaucrats."

Li Yuanchao clenched his fists and remained silent; he had seen plenty of injustices before.

But I was seething with anger inside.

Rushing around aimlessly, with no way out.

"Don't act impulsively!"

"I'm telling you this to warn you that a crackdown is coming sooner or later."

"Never associate with such people. If you find that any of your acquaintances are doing these things, you must immediately distance yourself from them. Before punishing evil, you must protect yourself first."

Li Yuanchao frowned.

He doesn't have that kind of friend, or maybe he just hasn't discovered it yet.

"Xiao Zhao, you should also hurry up and introduce a suitable partner to your son so that he can settle down as soon as possible."

Ye Zhao replied with a heavy expression, "I've already told all my old friends, and they'll appreciate it."

Meanwhile, Li Tian was chatting with Li Siwen inside the house.

"Auntie, has your boyfriend called you yet?"

Li Siwen shook her head.

Li Tian understood.

"Then there's something else I need to tell you."

Li Siwen raised her eyelids slightly.

"If it's bad news, then forget it. I'm not in a good mood today."

Naturally, there was no good news.

But Li Tian still wanted to rub salt into her wounds.

"Didn't you take me to school once before the semester started?"

Li Siwen looked at Li Tian, ​​unable to guess what she wanted to say.

"I needed to pee, so I went into the library. After using the restroom, I even went upstairs for a stroll. Guess who I ran into while I was lost?"

"Who do you know?"

"Yes, I only know Zhang Qizhe."

"You ran into him?"

Li Siwen found it hard to believe; she had searched three floors but couldn't find him.

"The person who gave me directions was Zhang Qizhe, and he recognized me too."

Li Siwen frowned.

"He just gave me directions, didn't see me out, and didn't even ask how I was doing."

"Isn't it said that if you like a house, you'll like the crows on it too?"

"My lovely little girl, your own niece, is she not even as good as a crow?"

"Tian Tian, ​​that's called loving the house because of its inhabitants," Li Zilong reminded her from the side.

Li Tianchong and Li Zilong nodded.

Turning back, he continued, "That person can't even show basic compassion for children; he's incredibly cold-blooded."

"I would never dare to live with someone like that. It's terrifying. They might sell me off one day."

Li Tian's body trembled as she spoke.

They seemed genuinely terrified.

"Auntie, your taste is terrible, even worse than my mom's."

"My dad was very, very good to my mom at first."

Li Tian smiled and patted Li Zilong.

It seems that the child's thinking has changed recently.

It's a good thing.

Only Li Siwen gritted her teeth and remained silent.

"Auntie, this one really isn't good enough. Let's get a better one."

Li Zilong understood what he meant.

"Tian Tian, ​​let's go outside and let Auntie calm down."

Li Tian had finished speaking and followed Li Zilong to the living room.

Li Yuanchao hasn't discussed it with Li Tian yet; even if it's just a notification, he should at least let her know.

"Tian Tian, ​​your jade pendant is being kept by Grandma for now. It's easy for children to get their hands on things that are stolen."

Li Tian naturally had no objections.

"Okay, I'll give it to you when I'm older."

"Don't worry, I'll keep the jade pendant and your longevity lock together, and give them to you together when you come of age."

"I also have a longevity lock?"

The original owner was too young to know anything about this.

"Yes, I prepared one for you, and your grandma prepared one too, so you have two in total."

"Gold or silver?"

Li Tian is more concerned with value.

"The one I gave you was your father's when he was a child. It's silver, but it was made by a famous craftsman and the workmanship is exquisite."

"Your maternal grandmother gave you a gold-inlaid jade piece; it's an old item."

Wow, wow!

She's a well-off girl by nature, so she doesn't need to scheme or plot anything.

Eating well, drinking well, and being healthy is enough.

Li Tian skipped and jumped into Ye Zhao's arms.

"Grandma, you must keep this safe for me. You can't give it to anyone, not even my dad."

Li Yuanchao glared.

"You silly child, would I possibly take advantage of you for something so small?"

Li Tian pursed her lips, "The unpleasant things have to be said upfront."
