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

"It wasn't me, I was a few votes short."

No matter how much it's different, it's still different.

They need to offer some comfort.

"You only lost by a few votes, brother. You've done really well. You'll definitely have a chance next time you run for election."

Li Zilong sniffed.

Then he shook his head.

"I don't want to run for office anymore. That guy got his votes by giving favors to his classmates. If he wants to be the one, let him be the one. I'll beat him with my grades."

"Good grandson, you have ambition!"

Li Shengli smiled and placed a chicken leg on Li Zilong's plate.

When he tried to give the other chicken leg to Li Tian, ​​she refused.

"Grandpa, I like to eat chicken wings."

Once she finishes a big chicken leg, she won't be able to eat anything else.

Li Shengli obediently tore off both chicken wings for Li Tian.

"Good grandson, after you've finished your meal, shall we cook another dish?"

Li Zilong shook his head vigorously.

My maternal grandfather is really bad at chess but addicted to it; I'm already terrified of playing against him.

I don't know where his resourcefulness came from.

Why can't we apply that to playing chess?

He was only at a beginner level and not yet qualified to instruct his grandfather, but he had already passed on everything he knew.

"Grandpa, I still have homework to do, and I have exams coming up soon. I'll definitely get you perfect scores."

"Brother is awesome!"

This is a natural-born academic genius, with incredible intrinsic motivation. Li Tian truly admires him.

"Teacher Tian Tian's wife recommended a piano teacher to me. He's a student at the music academy, and he'll come and give you lessons during the winter break."

Li Zilong actually likes the guqin (a seven-stringed zither).

Because both Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu played the seven-stringed guqin.

But it's really hard to find someone who can play the guqin. Learning the piano first is a good idea, and it can also help you and Tian Tian learn from each other.

Li Tian actually didn't want to suffer while learning the zither.

But to be honest, there aren't many entertainment facilities these days, so it's better to learn something to pass the time.

This little kid is lying around all day; he's practically being raised like a pig.

"Grandma, can he only come during holidays? Who teaches us the rest of the time?"

"Yes, Grandma."

"I've thought about this too. I'll keep looking. Getting into the compound requires strict screening because of what happened recently, and the checks are extremely rigorous now."

Ye Zhao turned to look at Liu He.

"Xiao Liu, when is your wedding date? You need to submit a report in advance if you want to take leave."

"Aunt Ye, the family has set the date for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, but the troupe leader can't be left alone. I'd like to postpone it to next year. I've already told my parents."

After Li Yuanchao was discharged from the hospital, Liu He took care of him personally.

Anyway, since the Li family didn't go out, Liu He had nothing else to do, and he volunteered to take care of Li Yuanchao.

Liu He was willing, and the Li family couldn't have asked for more.

After all, there wasn't a suitable candidate in the family.

In addition to the salary Liu He was entitled to, they paid him some extra compensation. In short, they were grateful and would not treat him unfairly.

"Xiao Liu, we can always find a way to solve these family problems. There's no need for you to postpone the wedding. It's too unfair to the girl."

"Yes, send a telegram back, tell them not to delay any longer."

Liu He quickly offered an explanation.

"Sir, it's alright, my girlfriend understands."

It's best to avoid owing favors if possible.

Even while in power, Lee Seung-ri acted in this way.

When subordinates are given personal tasks, they will naturally carry them out respectfully. However, their attempts to curry favor with their superiors are nothing more than a means to gain promotion and personal benefits.

We are all just ordinary people.

Li Shengli smiled.

"Xiao Liu, we all understand your feelings, but it's not worth delaying your wedding because of these family matters. Let's just leave it at that. Congratulations in advance!"

Liu He knew he couldn't continue like this.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Tian ate quietly, without interrupting these daily routines.

Grandparents have their own reasons.

Even if Liu He is gone, there's still Li He and Zhang He.

Now that the weather is cold, the family no longer goes out for walks to digest their food in the evenings.

The elderly couple only went out to bask in the sun after their afternoon nap.

After Liu He settled Li Yuanchao in to rest, they returned to their respective rooms.

It was too early to sleep, so the elderly couple sat and chatted.

"Old Li, should we keep the bodyguard position for Chen Hao?"

"Let's talk about it after the New Year. Let Chen Hao rest and recuperate first, and see how he recovers and what his personal wishes are."

"The couple has been separated for many years. I think we should consider letting Chen Hao transfer to a civilian job. With his rank and our planning, we can definitely arrange a good position for him."

Li Shengli nodded.

Although Ye Zhao was considering things from a woman's perspective, Chen Hao only gained real power when he was stationed at the local level.

This is something that guards cannot match.

His children are almost adults, and work and marriage are his responsibilities.

"Your words have reminded me that military reform is inevitable. When so many officers need to be reassigned, good positions will become scarce."

"I'll write a letter to Chen Hao tomorrow and tell him to think it over carefully."

Ye Zhao asked again.

"What will happen to the family while Liu He is away for a month?"

"The college students are about to go on vacation, so it's reasonable for Yuanxiang to take care of his cousin. When school starts, we'll give the kid some money. It's a win-win situation."

Ye Zhao nodded, having assumed that Li Shengli would seek help from the organization.

However, that is one solution.

"I haven't seen Yuanxiang for two or three years. He only came to our house once when he had just been admitted to university."

"That's how kids from the countryside are. They're too reserved when they come to our house, so they don't want to come anymore. But he'll be starting work soon, so he should learn how to behave. I'll write to him tomorrow."

"Don't force other people's children, or people who don't know the situation will think we're exploiting our relatives."

"How could that be? If I just send a message back to my hometown, believe it or not, people who are practically unreachable will all come to my house to work."

Ye Zhao quickly softened her tone.

"I know you're very respected back in your hometown!"

"We don't lack people; bringing them here is giving them an opportunity."

Ye Zhao smiled; of course she knew what was going on.

"Limin asked me to meet her cousin tomorrow. There's been some progress on Siwen and Zhengyu's study abroad plans."

"Well, if we get it done sooner, we won't be in a rush to arrange a job for her."

"She wants to study international trade, but that might not be possible. The government supports learning advanced technologies."

"International trade is just doing business with foreign countries. Although I don't understand business, I know that doing business, buying and selling, is about dealing with people."

"These intricacies lie outside of books."

Ye Zhao nodded; she shared the same thought. No matter what she studied, she wanted to broaden her horizons first.

"After I finish giving out the gifts, I plan to use the remaining foreign exchange certificates to buy jade items."

Li Shengli doesn't understand any of this and doesn't interfere with the family's financial arrangements.

"You decide what to do."

"Aren't you going to ask why?"

"What's there to ask? You don't waste money, you must have a reason."

Ye Zhao's smile was almost overflowing.

"It probably won't take more than a year or two. Home appliances are something you can buy as long as you have money. Besides, these are consumables, and they are updated quickly. They will be outdated in a few years."

"Jade is an investment. When everyone becomes wealthy in the future, it can appreciate in value by tens or even hundreds of times."

Li Shengli curled his lip.

"It's just a pretty rock; it's not something you can eat or drink."
