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

Li Shengli was reading the newspaper in the living room.

Li Yuanchao asked Li Tian to fetch her broken toys that needed repair, while he fiddled with the tree branches he had brought back in the living room using a knife.

"You used a dagger meant for killing enemies to make these things?"

Li Yuanchao didn't even look up. "I'm comfortable using this. It's not just for killing enemies. Daggers have many uses in the jungle."

Li Shengli spent his entire life fighting on the northern plains, so he really didn't have much to say about mountain warfare.

"Dad, tell me a story about war."

War is war; there's no story behind it.

Only smoke and blood flowed!

Li Yuanchao didn't want to recall those painful memories. They survived, but so many of their comrades-in-arms, with whom they had spent every day, were left forever in that scorched earth.

But seeing Li Tian sitting on a small stool with a thirst for knowledge on his face, Li Yuanchao hesitated for a moment.

"Tian Tian, ​​have you seen the movie Shangganling? That's what real war is like. All the soldiers were very brave, but the fighting was extremely brutal."

Li Tian tilted her head and thought for a moment. She had seen it when she received revolutionary education in elementary school, but she couldn't remember the content anymore.

Li Shengli interrupted Li Tian's thoughts.

"Forget about it, you haven't seen it. However, education really needs to start from childhood; we can't forget our roots. We'll bring up this proposal at the next meeting. Yes, this topic is very necessary."

Lee Seungri asked and answered questions by himself without needing anyone else's participation.

What level of meeting is it?

Li Tian scratched her head. Was her grandfather serious?

However, Li Tian regretted asking the question as soon as it left her mouth.

Her whole family are legitimate military personnel; she shouldn't have made such a request.

It's cruel to make those who have experienced war recall it.

Li Yuanchao focused on the task at hand.

The small car wheel is the easiest to carve out, but polishing it takes some effort.

While he was trimming the tree branches, Li Yuanchao asked his nanny, Zhang Sao, to find him some sandpaper.

It's not difficult to polish it to the right size and make it smooth; the difficult part is drilling a nice hole to fit it in.

You can make a hole with a dagger, but it will never be smooth or aesthetically pleasing, nor will it be regular.

Li Yuanchao was in a dilemma.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"We can't install it without drilling tools."

Li Tian crossed her arms and looked at Li Yuanchao.

Li Shengli couldn't recall where to find a wooden drill, but he didn't want to make a fuss over such a small matter. So he pretended not to hear and focused on the newspaper.

Li Tian glanced at her grandfather, who was deliberately ignoring everything, and chuckled to herself.

The old man is quite interesting.

Li Tian decided to grab a newspaper and read it as well.

Li Shengli watched his granddaughter's serious expression and laughed along.

After a while, Li Yuanchao started cutting the doll's arm, probably still not thinking of where to borrow a wooden drill.

Li Tian could only remind him, "Yuan Jun's father can make wooden toys, so I think their family must have all the necessary tools."

Li Shengli, wearing reading glasses, peeked out from behind the newspaper. "Yeah, our Tian Tian is so smart."

Seeing that Li Yuanchao didn't react, Li Shengli said again, "Go ahead. Although we don't have much contact with the Yuan family, they have a good reputation."

"Okay," Li Yuanchao stood up and brushed the sawdust off his clothes.

At Li Shengli's level, many things are not said explicitly. Asking Li Yuanchao to borrow tools is actually agreeing to let Li Yuanchao make connections with the Yuan family.

Although Li Yuanchao grew up in a military compound, he had been developing his career in the south after joining the army, and apart from a few childhood friends, he had no connections.

The Yuan family has a son who serves in the Beijing Special Forces.

It's the same everywhere; having more friends is always a good thing.

Using trivial matters to strike up a conversation won't offend anyone, nor will it lower your own status.

If both sides get along well, they can naturally take things further; if they disagree, it's best to keep their distance.

Once you're in that environment, you'll learn it through observation and exposure.

Li Yuanchao is well aware of his own advantages and never rejects the resources he can use. There are many outstanding people out there; otherwise, why would anyone choose to use him?

There's nothing that can't be done without someone.

"Tian Tian, ​​come with Daddy," he said, his fatherly diplomacy making it seem more appropriate to bring his child along.

Moreover, Li Yuanchao thought his daughter was quite interesting.

Being with her is never boring.

It takes skill to make him angry.

"Sure, but I can't walk anymore."

Li Yuanchao understood this time and obediently squatted down in front of Li Tian.

Li Tian got up and stood on the sofa, then swooped down and landed on Li Yuanchao's back.

Cheap dad, use him however you like.

In other words, Li Yuanchao had a stable foundation; anyone else would probably have fallen flat on their backside.

"Grandpa, wait for us to come back for dinner," Li Tian waved to Li Shengli as she left.

When Ye Zhao came out after making the call, she couldn't see the father and son anywhere. She asked Li Shengli and found out that they had gone out again.

"I just made a phone call, where did the two of them go again?"

Lee Seung-ri pointed to his watch, "Make a phone call, see how long it took!"

Ye Zhao ignored Li Shengli's sarcastic remarks, went to the kitchen to take a look, and then turned on the TV when she came back.

"Where did they go?" Ye Zhao couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"I went to the Yuan family to borrow a wooden drill." Li Shengli didn't explain further.

Ye Zhao looked the old man over and pondered it for a while, and soon understood.

Whether or not to lend the wooden drill is secondary; the real purpose is to get Li Yuanchao to visit the Yuan family.

"I told my in-laws about Yuanchao's relationship, and they were very understanding and didn't say anything. They just hoped that we could treat Tiantian well."

Lee Seungri adjusted his glasses, which had slipped down to the tip of his nose. "As long as that woman isn't stupid, she won't mistreat our granddaughter."

"Tian Tian is unique, but the Li family's daughter-in-law is not."

Let alone Lee Seung-ri, even Ye Zhao thinks the same way.

Without a shred of compassion and intelligence, one cannot remain a wife in this compound for long, or may never become one at all.

"Let's meet them tomorrow and see how things go. Let them spend more time together, and let Yuan Chao decide for himself whether they're a good match. We've set up the ladder, but if he doesn't have the ability to climb it, it's just a wasted effort."

"How long can we help them up? If we don't have the ability, even if we manage to get them up, they'll be pulled down and fall even harder."

Ye Zhao understood what Li Shengli was saying, and she would never blame her old man for blindly protecting him.

The heart is the same; everyone is making plans for the children.

By this time, Li Yuanchao and his father had already arrived at the Yuan family's residence.

It was almost lunchtime, so Li Yuanchao exchanged a few polite words and got straight to the point.

Yuan Jun's father happened to be home, and as soon as he returned, he heard his son excitedly telling him that he had made friends.

Everyone is afraid of being alone, and everyone needs friends.

Therefore, when he met the Li family father and daughter, Yuan Xinglang was exceptionally enthusiastic and praised Li Tian extensively.
