Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

How could Li Xiaoyun have the nerve to take things from the old house to her parents’ home?

She was taking so much, wasn’t she?

In a daze, Li Xiaoyun felt like she was moving things from her husband’s family to her own.

The thought startled her.

She quickly shook her head to get rid of that dangerous idea.

Zhao Dingli was sitting close to her, always attentive to Li Xiaoyun, worried she might be neglected.

Or maybe be too shy, hesitant to do anything.

That’s why he kept watching Li Xiaoyun’s reactions.

For instance, when he noticed Li Xiaoyun’s gaze linger on a dish that was a bit too far to reach, Zhao Dingli would immediately serve that dish onto her small plate.

Thus, even though Li Xiaoyun was too shy to reach out, she ended up tasting everything.

Now, when Li Xiaoyun suddenly shook her head, Zhao Dingli naturally noticed it right away.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Dingli promptly asked Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun was too embarrassed to mention the thought that had suddenly popped into her mind.

She simply blushed and whispered, "It’s nothing."

Zhao Dingli thought, if it’s nothing, why shake your head?

But he didn’t ask out loud.

Li Xiaoyun didn’t want to say it, so he didn’t press the issue.

Asking repeatedly would make her uncomfortable.

Regarding Li Xiaoyun’s family situation, the old lady had already learned quite a bit last time.

This time, she focused on understanding Li Xiaoyun’s work, daily hobbies, and so on.

It’s safe to say she gathered clear information about Li Xiaoyun.

The little guy finished eating and wanted to go to the bathroom.

Zhao Dingli took the opportunity to go with him.

While the little guy was peeing, he heard the door open and saw Zhao Dingli come in.

The little guy immediately covered his little pepper with his hand, "Fourth Grandpa, why did you come in? I’m not done peeing yet."

Zhao Dingli glanced at the little guy’s tiny bud, it was so small he couldn’t bear to look directly.

What’s there to cover?

Even without covering, he wouldn’t have noticed it.

It was only because it was covered that he looked in that direction.

"Then hurry up and pee," Zhao Dingli urged.

The little guy hesitantly said, "You’re watching me, I can’t pee."

Zhao Dingli chuckled, surprised at how particular the little guy was.

Since he needed something from him, Zhao Dingli cooperatively turned around, "Alright, I’m not looking, hurry up."

However, the little guy knew there was someone in the bathroom, no matter what, he understood Zhao Dingli was right beside him.

The little guy felt incredibly uncomfortable.

"Fourth Grandpa, how about you wait outside?" the little guy suggested.

"You’re very demanding for your age," Zhao Dingli commented.

"You wait outside, I’ll let you in after I’m done," the little guy negotiated.

Zhao Dingli thought this kid really knew how to hold it in.

Wasn’t he supposed to be peeing?

Why so many words?

Isn’t he in a hurry?

"I’m not here just to use the bathroom," Zhao Dingli said, "I have something to tell you."

The little guy saw Zhao Dingli looking like he wanted to discuss some big matter.

He immediately got serious.

Even asked with a mysterious and tense tone, "Fourth Grandpa, what big thing do you want to talk about?"

"Aren’t you peeing? I’ll tell you later," Zhao Dingli said, "It’s a big thing."

The little guy heard this and said, "Okay, I’ll be quick!"

Zhao Dingli then left the bathroom, waiting at the door.

The little guy hurriedly finished peeing and opened the door.

Seeing Zhao Dingli waiting right there, the little guy quickly waved at him, "Fourth Grandpa, come in."

Zhao Dingli entered and closed the door.

The little guy saw Zhao Dingli specifically coming to find him, avoiding others.

He felt that the matter must be something only the two of them could know.

The little guy was very satisfied with how much Zhao Dingli valued him.

Despite the venue for discussing big things being the bathroom, with not the best environment.

"Fourth Grandpa, what is it?" the little guy asked, looking up.

"You call me Fourth Grandpa, but you call Xiao Yun godmother, that generation gap is too wide," Zhao Dingli said.

The little guy blinked and said, "It’s not a generation gap, calling you Fourth Grandpa and calling my godmother godmother doesn’t conflict."

"How doesn’t it conflict?" Zhao Dingli said, "I’m dating her, if you call me Fourth Grandpa and then call her godmother, it’s not appropriate."

The little guy thought for a moment and asked, "Are you two dating now?"

Zhao Dingli: "..."

At such a young age, how is he learning to poke at hearts?

"Soon," Zhao Dingli said.

If the little guy could be easily brushed off by Zhao Dingli, he wouldn’t be the little guy.

After all, he inherited Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei’s excellent genes and intelligence.

Even before meeting Zhao Gushen, the little guy showed early wisdom.

Spoke early, learned anything quickly.

And spoke smartly.

While many children his age could only use short and simple words to express themselves, the little guy could already use complete sentences.

He spoke clearly, expressed himself well, and his speech speed was faster than children of his age.

Whatever was taught to him, he could quickly memorize and extrapolate.

Ye Fei even felt that her limited circumstances were holding back the little guy.

If she had more daily time and could devote more energy to the little guy, maybe he could learn even more.

Like many children from the upper echelons of society who receive elite education.

However, Ye Fei wasn’t overly troubled by this.

After all, there’s gain and there’s loss.

Elite education involves many courses.

Just like the children of Jixia Academy, who learn this and that in kindergarten.

Not just learning foreign languages, math, and the like, but also skiing, swimming, horseback riding, golf, etc.

It seems like comprehensive development in moral, intellectual, physical, and artistic areas, with many interest classes.

But do the children truly enjoy these classes?

Children have different personalities and interests.

Some like horseback riding and don’t like skiing.

Some like taekwondo and don’t like golf.

Some may enjoy it, but if the learning becomes too hard, that interest can quickly turn into stress.

The reason excellent children are excellent is that they’ve paid a lot.

Giving so much at a young age, they lose much childhood joy.

That’s why Ye Fei says there’s gain and there’s loss.

Although the little guy hasn’t learned much, he’s only learned swimming and taekwondo based on his interests.

But Ye Fei doesn’t push him to excel too greatly.

Swimming prevents drowning.

Children can’t go their whole lives without encountering rivers, lakes, seas.

But once they do, accidents can happen.

Learning to swim can at least guarantee some safety.

The same goes for taekwondo, promoting physical fitness and providing self-defense skills.

But Ye Fei hasn’t forced him to become too proficient.

If he likes it, he can practice to the extent he can accept, without requiring him to achieve excellence.
