"cough."
Roy's father, who was waiting nearby, accidentally overheard what was said. He looked a little embarrassed and said goodbye to Zhan Xi: "Well, I'll take Roy home to do his homework. We can talk again when we have time."
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi tried hard to force a smile and nodded to Roy's father: "See you later."
After saying goodbye to Roy's father, Zhan Xi looked down at his own child.
My little cub hung his head, and it couldn't be lowered any lower.
There were no other parents around, so Zhan Xi poked his back teeth and asked the kid, "Ning, tell me the truth, what did you do today?"
The little cub's milk voice was very frustrated: "The cub violated the rules."
Zhan Xi looked at the depressed kid, picked him up resignedly, and walked towards the school.
When he passed by the security guard, he stopped him and asked, "Dear parent, it's time to go home from school, why haven't you taken your cub home yet?"
Zhan Xi continued to fake smile: "I have something to ask the teacher."
The security guard has worked here for many years, and his eyes have long been trained to be sharp. He looked at Zhan Xi, then at the baby in Zhan Xi's arms, and said, "Oh, the parents have been called. Come in, the office is in Building 6."
Zhan Xi's ears turned red after being exposed.
Following the guidance of the little chubby finger, Zhan Xi soon found the office. As soon as he entered, he recognized the little chubby teacher whom he had just met in the morning.
"Hello, Mr. Reed, I'm Ningzi's father."
Zhan Xi has done well in business in the past two years, so he is not shy when dealing with people. He said to the head teacher with a smile: "I am sorry that my Ningzi has caused you trouble."
Reed stood up and shook hands with Zhan Xi.
He didn't let Zhan Xi stand, but pointed to a chair and asked him to sit down: "Ningzi's father, let's sit down and talk. Here is tea, you can try it."
Zhan Xi was in no mood to drink tea. After he sat down, he exchanged a few more pleasantries with Reed.
Reed took a sip of tea and said straight to the point without beating around the bush: "Ning is a good kid, enthusiastic and lively. I originally thought he was suitable to be the squad leader."
After Reed finished speaking, Zhan Xi's eyes lit up just like the little kid's in the afternoon.
But then, Reed continued, "Unfortunately, Ningzi is a little too energetic. He had a fight with kids from other classes. I don't know if kindergartens used to have rules against fighting, but our elementary school does."
"Ningzi's father, it wasn't all his fault that Ningzi got into a fight today, but it was mostly his fault because he was the first to start."
"The kid on the other side provoked Ningzai during the argument, so Ningzai took action. I understand Ningzai's impulse, but I don't approve of his behavior."
When Reed talked about this, he not only looked at Zhan Xi, but also looked at Xiaozaizi: "Ningzai, do you know how many cases of school accidents have happened in the Children's Hospital before?"
The little cub was startled.
Reed took a sip of tea and began to speak slowly.
In XX, in the second grade of a primary school, two children had a conflict. One child, in anger, picked up a pen and stabbed the other child in the eyes.
In XX, in the first grade of a primary school, two children had a conflict. One child pushed the other child hard. As a result of this push, the other child accidentally fell down the stairs and hit his head.
The little kid was completely stunned by the case after case.
By the time Reed finished speaking, the kid was so scared that his face turned pale.
In these cases, some children just hit other children in anger without intending to make them disabled, but accidents still happened in the end.
"Ningzai, now you understand why schools have to have a rule prohibiting fighting?" Reed finished speaking and threw the question to the little boy.
The little cub sniffed and replied fearfully, "Cub knows."
After admitting his mistake, he made a promise: "I will never fight again."
Reed nodded in satisfaction. He also said to the little cub, "You kids are fighting, and there are no adults around, so it will be difficult to deal with it if something unexpected happens. If there is really a disagreement, you can arrange a fight."
"The fighting arena is a good place for you little men to resolve your conflicts."
The little cub nodded seriously.
Reed looked at the little cub and was worried that he would be frightened, so he gave another example: "You can't fight with other children in school, but outside of school, if you encounter danger, such as an adult who wants to hold you hostage, you can resist, understand?"
"Um!"
Zhan Xi also admired Reed's education of the little cub.
A few minutes later.
Reed asked the little cub to wait outside for a while while he wanted to talk to the parents.
Seeing this, Zhan Xi thought that the teacher would give him the same gentle education as he did to his own cub, like the spring breeze on his face.
But he miscalculated.
Reed, who was very gentle to the little cub just now, was much stricter to Zhan Xi now: "As parents, you should also educate your cubs well at home."
"Ning is a smart cub. Although his grades at school aren't that good, elementary school is a new starting point. As long as he studies hard, he can still achieve good results."
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi received a good lecture.
When he walked out of the office, his face was gray.
The little kid at the door is so bored waiting for his dad that he is squatting beside the flower bed watching ants.
Zhan Xi came over, picked up the little kid who was watching the ants and walked out.
The little cub lay on his father and blinked his eyes. He keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He rubbed his chubby face against his father and said in a soft voice: "Dad, I have to do my homework when I go back later."
You don’t usually see a kid who is so active and proactive in doing his homework.
Zhan Xi looked at him and refused to accept his offer.
He held the cub in his arms and walked out, saying, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to do your homework after you get beaten up."
Little cub: “…”
The little boy's face wrinkled up all of a sudden: "Why do you want to be beaten again, kid?"
Zhan Xi snorted coldly.
The little cub hugged his father's neck and coaxed him softly: "Daddy, I love you the most."
Zhan Xi said calmly: "Dad loves you too, so Dad only spanks you and not others."
Little cub: “…”
The little cub choked.
On the way home, the little boy took his father's star phone and looked around for help, but none of the adults who said they loved him came to save him.
In Anzhu's house.
An Nuo calmly looked at the message sent by Xiao Zaizai. He calmly did not reply. Not only did he not reply himself, he also asked An Zhu not to reply either.
"Wait until you're done getting beaten up before you come back."
An Zhu hesitated: "Isn't this bad?"
An Nuo glanced at him and said, "If you think it's not good, next time Ningzi has a parent-teacher meeting, you can go and give it to him?"
An Zhu: “…”
An Zhu sat up straight in a second, and said with a serious face: "It's normal for a little cub to get beaten up. I'll reply to the message later."
No one came to rescue the little boy. When he got home, he looked at the empty message on the star plane, rubbed his eyes, and climbed out of the car with his schoolbag on his back.
Before Zhan Xi gave the Star Machine to the little boy, he had already told everyone in the group what the little boy had done, so no one spoke at this moment.
Arrived home.
The little boy, carrying his schoolbag, consciously moved a chair for his father.
Zhan Xi looked at him and sat down.
After Zhan Xi sat down, the little boy lay on his father's lap and said in a baby voice, "I'm ready, daddy, you can hit me!"
Zhan Xi lifted the strap of his schoolbag and ordered, "Put the schoolbag aside."
Little cub: “…”
The little boy put his schoolbag aside dejectedly.
Not long after, the cry of a baby was heard in the yard.
Lingqi, who was in the kitchen, heard the crying and made another sweet dish.
If you get beaten, comfort yourself.
After being spanked, the little guy ran to the kitchen with tears in his eyes and hugged Ling Qi's legs.
"My butt hurts."
The little kid also knows how to complain: "Daddy spanked my butt so hard it hurts."
Ling Qi listened to the little cub's complaint, bent down, and wiped his wet face: "Poor little thing, let me see."
Upon hearing this, the little boy turned around and let Uncle Ling Qi check him.
Ling Qi checked him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not broken."
Although Zhan Xi's hands were strong, he didn't really use much strength when he hit the kid. The kid was his dearest child, and if he hit him too hard, he would feel bad.
Seeing that the little boy still had tears in his eyes, Ling Qi fed him a piece of the prepared meat: "I made you candied sweet potato today. It's sweet. Eat more later."
"Um!"
The little cub hugged Ling Qi and rubbed his wet face against him: "Uncle Ling Qi loves you the most."
Ling Qi kissed his little face and said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Ling Qi loves you."
Of course he loved their cub.
Because he was beaten, Ling Qi specially arranged to eat early and let the kid do his homework after the meal.
At the dinner table.
Zhan Xi looked at the little kid who didn't talk to him. He looked at him again and again, but the little kid still pretended not to notice his gaze.
Zhan Xi: “…”
The little guy was a little angry after being beaten.
Zhan Xi picked up a piece of pork ribs with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl: "Eat it."
The little boy looked at the spareribs and stubbornly only ate the rice and vegetables next to them. After he had finished all the rice and vegetables next to them, he ate the spareribs.
Saving the food that his father picked for him to eat last is the last bit of stubbornness of the angry child.
Zhan Xi was watching him chewing the ribs and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
There was also a hint of smile in Ling Qi's eyes. He put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and then took off the overalls for the little kid.
"Okay, we're done eating, go wash your hands."
Ling Qi is responsible for cooking, while Zhan Xi is always responsible for washing dishes and cleaning up.
By the time Zhan Xi had cleaned up the dining table and the kitchen, Ling Qi had already turned on the lights in the yard. After turning on the lights, he set up a small table and let the kid lie down on it to do his homework.
"Assigning homework on the first day, this elementary school is really strict."
Zhan Xi finished cleaning up the kitchen and leaned against the door frame, chatting on his Star Phone. He was sending An Nuo updates on his little one's studies.
"I saw him chewing the pen tip for a long time, but he didn't write anything."
After watching Zhan Xilu's video, An Nuo replied to him: "Hurry him up and ask him to write faster, otherwise it will be delayed until late again."
Zhan Xi: "Ling Qi is urging us."
Ling Qi actually has a very high level of education, so tutoring a cub is no problem at all.
But Zhan Xi often got a headache when he saw him tutoring the little kid and was often irritated by him.
After watching it several times in a row, Zhan Xi couldn't help but think: "It would be better if Zizi's biological father woke up more often."
The only one who can control his kid is his biological father. Especially when there are parent-teacher conferences or when parents are invited, Zhan Xi misses his biological father very much.
When I finished my homework, it was already dark.
The little cub was yawning and didn't even want to take a bath.
Zhan Xi didn't indulge him. He turned on the warm light in the bathroom and gave him a bath quickly.
After taking a bath, the little cub was put in his own crib.
"Daddy, hug me!"
The little kid, who didn't hold a grudge against his dad for long, opened his chubby hands and asked his dad to hold him: "I want to sleep with you."
"It's time for you to sleep, baby."
Zhan Xi has been coaxing the little cub for so many days, and he knows that his cub is not that scared anymore. Now he continues to sleep with him, simply because he wants to be clingy.
"You are no longer a kindergarten kid, Ningzi. You are an elementary school kid now."
Zhan Xi stood beside the bed, patiently encouraging the little cub: "The cub who was in elementary school has become a big cub."
The little cub looked at himself and shook his head: "The cub is still young."
Zhan Xi pinched his chubby face and coaxed him: "You are not a child anymore. Roy has been sleeping by himself for a long time. And Wagner and Sevi, don't they sleep by themselves?"
"Savi sleeps with Lele."
The little boy found the loophole in his father's words and said, "You can't sleep alone."
“That’s easy.”
Zhan Xi turned around and found a small stand, then turned on the star phone and made another video call to Huo Lin.
"Just like before, let your brother sleep with you."
The video was connected in a few seconds. Huo Lin on the other side of the video had just finished taking a shower and was now wearing pajamas, wiping his hair with a towel in one hand.
"elder brother."
When the little cub saw his brother, his voice softened: "Cub, I miss you."
The little guy hadn't seen his brother for just over a day, but he was already missing him.
With Huo Lin's company, Zhan Xi could also withdraw smoothly.
The door of the room was gently closed.
When the little boy heard the door closing, he immediately complained to his brother: "Dad doesn't want to sleep with me! He only wants to sleep with Uncle Lingqi!"
Huo Lin casually picked up the towel he used to wipe his hair, put the star machine away, and then started talking to Zizi.
"Uncle Zhan and Uncle Lingqi are going to sleep together anyway. If you sleep with them, it will affect them."
“Why does it affect you?”
The little cub sat on the bed with his short legs crossed, looking a little confused.
Huo Lin paused, not quite sure. He frowned slightly and said, "Parents and children must live separately. This is the case in every family."
The little boy was not convinced. He tightened his chubby face and said seriously, "When I go to the palace, I can sleep between Uncle Lulu and Auntie!"
Huo Lin: “…”
Huo Lin raised his eyelids and looked at the cub in the video: "If you sleep with them for too long, they will definitely put you in my room."
The little boy shook his head: "Brother lied to me."
Uncle Lulu and Aunt Lulu really like him to sleep in the middle. Even if the baby goes over to sleep every day, Uncle Lulu and Aunt Lulu will never put the baby in his brother's room!
Huo Lin didn't argue with him, he just changed the subject.
"Just lie down and I'll tell you a story."
After Huo Lin finished speaking, he took back his words: "Forget it, you are already in elementary school, so I won't tell you stories anymore. I'll tell you something new."
When the little guy heard that he was going to change something new, he immediately became interested. He fell back and covered himself with the quilt.
"Brother, close your eyes!"
The little boy closed his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen to what his brother was telling him.
The light from the night lamp sprinkled warmly on the little cub's face. After covering himself with the quilt, the little cub looked forward to hearing his brother say to him in a nice voice -
"You have already started elementary school, so I will teach you some elementary math tonight."
Little cub: “…”
The little boy opened his eyes again in a flash. He sat up and asked his brother in confusion, "Brother, what do you want to tell me?"
Huo Lin sat on the bed, holding a math book in his hand, with a calm expression on his slightly cold face: "Let's talk about elementary school math."
"Lie down, I'm going to start talking."
