My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

Kindergarten lounge.

Two little ones and a teacher stood at the door, a three-way standoff. Oh no, it should be three people facing each other.

Le Bao hugged the small blanket she had brought from home, followed by her loyal bodyguard Yu Muchen.

Teacher Ranran talked until her saliva was dry, but she still couldn't change this stubborn little one's mind. She kept rushing out, bumping into her legs and making them hurt terribly.

Just when she was at her wit's end, Big Tiger Girl Rou Rou, who was also still awake, ran over.

"Le Bao, we can't leave. My mom said the tuition here is really expensive. Even if we don't study, we have to make our money back from the tuition. If we leave, the money we paid will be wasted."

Rou Rou's mother didn't expect her to learn anything at kindergarten. She told her that if she couldn't concentrate on learning, she should just eat more. After all, she had already paid for the tuition, so she might as well eat.

Le Bao was taken aback when she heard this. "That's right, Mom said we shouldn't waste food."

So, in her sweet, childlike voice, she said, word by word:

"Teacher, will you give me the money I have?"

Teacher Ranran was stunned when she heard this. In all her years in the profession, this was the first time she had ever encountered a little kid coming to her for a refund.

"Le Bao, the tuition fee isn't with the teacher, so the teacher can't give you a refund."

"Le Bao, you need to talk to the headmaster to get a refund."

Little Military Strategist Rou Rou offered another suggestion.

"Where is the principal's debt?"

"The headmistress is upstairs, I'll take you there."

Before Teacher Ranran could stop her, little Rou Rou pulled Le Bao upstairs.

Yu Muchen took the small blanket that Le Bao was dragging on the floor and followed her upstairs.

Just as the principal was about to take a short nap, a little kid pushed open the office door.

"Le Bao, what brings you here? Is there something you need from the headmaster?"

This is the Lu family's precious gem; they can't afford to offend him.

"Please give me the money I have."

The little guy got straight to the point, asking for money as soon as he came in.

The kindergarten director looked completely bewildered. What money?

"Principal, Le Bao wants a refund of his tuition."

The spokesperson, Rou Rou, has spoken out again.

The kindergarten director never expected that a child would come to him asking for a refund.

"Well, Le Bao, this tuition fee covers your school fees, meals, and accommodation. Every child has to pay it, and it's non-refundable."

The headmistress patiently explained the purpose of the money to the little girl, hoping to dispel her idea.

"I'm going home now, I'm not coming anymore, give me the money."

The little guy wouldn't listen to reason; no matter what, he insisted on getting his money back and going home.

Teacher Ranran, who caught up with the principal, talked for a long time, but in the end, they resolved the issue by giving each of them a lollipop.

After receiving the lollipop, Le Bao stopped fussing about leaving. Seeing this, the teacher quickly carried her back to the rest room and coaxed her to sleep.

She knew that once she got this difficult little guy under control, the other two would be no problem.

But she was thinking too simply. This little fat boy has always had a hard time getting to sleep, just like her eating, he's very slow.

The teacher had almost put herself to sleep, but the chubby little girl lying in bed was still sucking on a lollipop while talking to Rou Rou and Yu Muchen.

Some of the children who weren't asleep yet were woken up by her and started crying loudly.

One child was crying, and the crying woke up all the children in the lounge. In an instant, the whole room was filled with the sound of crying.

Teacher Ranran and several other teachers rushed in and comforted the crying children one by one.

"They're crying for Senyao?"

Le Bao, the culprit, sucked on a lollipop, looking at the children crying and running around the room with a puzzled expression.

"They might just be prone to crying, just ignore them. Le Bao, lie down, I'll soothe you to sleep."

Yu Muchen covered Le Bao with her blanket, covered her ears with one hand, and gently patted her body with the other.

After a while, Le Bao started blinking frequently, and Yu Muchen knew that this was the prelude to her falling asleep.

There were several crying children in the lounge, making it hard for Le Bao to fall asleep.

"Shut up."

Yu Muchen stood up, walked to the center of the room, and looked sharply at the crying children.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was incredibly imposing.

The crying stopped a few moments later, and some even started hiccuping.

Several teachers stared wide-eyed at the indifferent-looking little boy. After finishing their conversation, they scurried back to Le Bao's bedside and gently patted the little dumpling on the bed again.

With the noise gone, Le Bao quickly fell asleep.

Yu Muchen stayed by Le Bao's bedside the whole time, and didn't move even when the teacher asked him to go to his own bed.

He moved a small stool over, sat down by Le Bao's bed, held Le Bao's hand in his own, and watched Le Bao fall asleep by the bedside.

The teacher took a picture of this scene and sent it to Shen Wanning, along with the story of how the little guy went to the principal at noon with his blanket to get a refund.

Shen Wanning was both amused and exasperated when she saw the teacher's message.

This little one, really, how did she even come up with that idea?

She posted about Le Bao asking the kindergarten director for a refund in the family group chat, and the group instantly became lively.

"As expected of my good grandson, he even knows to ask for the money back."

"Le Bao is so clever, just like Ning Ning. Ning Ning was just like that when she was little, so mischievous."

"It's good to be smart; that way you won't get taken advantage of when you go out."

The three elderly people were posting enthusiastically in the group chat, all praising Le Bao.

At the end of the conversation, they even agreed to pick up their children from school together in the afternoon.

Shen Xizhou and Shen Shilan returned to Gangcheng and will probably be busy for a while.

During this period, Lu Jianguo took Xiang Jiahui and Shen Huaqiang to visit almost all the major and minor attractions in City A.

They even created a senior citizens' group with some of Lu Jianguo's old friends, and frequently organized activities together.

Lu Chenyue, who was at the company, looked at the active messages in the group and smiled. "Little guy, you know that your dad doesn't earn money easily."

Compared to Le Bao's comfortable life, her older brother Lu Shulang, a child laborer, suffered terribly.

At noon, he went to the cafeteria with Lu Chenyue for lunch. He had just fallen asleep and hadn't even had a chance to get into a deep sleep when Jiang Lin woke him up.

The reason was that a customer had arrived, and he had to serve tea and water and attend to them.

Thus, the following scene unfolded in Lu Chenyue's office:

A tiny child, trembling, carried a cup of scalding hot tea, inching its way to the customer, placing the cup in front of him, and then standing aside, nodding repeatedly.

Lu Chenyue glanced at his dozing nephew, said nothing, and continued negotiating with the client.

"Mr. Lu, what's this?"

The arriving customer looked at the little boy serving tea and water and asked Lu Chenyue in confusion.

"My child doesn't want to go to school, so I brought him here to experience it."

The customer smiled knowingly. So even a family like the Lu family has a student who doesn't like to study.

Lu Chenyue: You're wrong, there's not just one, there's another one that's probably even more infuriating.

In the afternoon, Lu Chenyue drove Lu Shulang to his school gate, timing it with the time when elementary school let out.

"Uncle, what are we doing here?"

"I'm here to pick Le Bao up from school."

Actually, at this time, Le Bao had already been picked up by her grandfather and maternal grandparents.

"Lu Shulang, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be away from school?"

His classmates saw him and asked him strangely.

Lu Shulang looked at his friends, who were chatting in pairs with their backpacks on, and felt a little envious.

"I... I just came to take a look, just to take a look."

He said something awkwardly and then ran to the car.

Seeing that the effect was about right, Lu Chenyue drove away.

Lost in thought, Lu Shulang didn't realize that the person they had come to pick up wasn't even in the car.
