Chapter 1967

The man kept holding Zhou Andong's hand and wouldn't let go: "You were also dragged here by your child to watch the show, right?"

Zhou Andong wore a polite smile on his face and forcibly pulled his hand away: "Yes!"

The man didn't mind and pointed at the fourth sister who was performing on stage: "That little girl is a good friend of my son. They even fought before, and she made him cry."

Speaking of this, the man laughed out loud: "You say, isn't it normal for children to fight? The two children became good friends that very day. But my 'tiger wife' actually came to find the other parents, and after we got home, I scolded her severely."

"This time, my son dragged me to watch the show because his good friend was performing on stage and wanted me to show my support. If I didn't come, he would cry and make a scene, so I had no choice but to push aside my work."

Hearing the man's words, Seeing Jian Qiu and Deng Xin looked at the man at the same time; so he was Guo Minggang's father.

It had always been the mother who sent Guo Minggang to school, so the two of them had never met this father.

Zhou Andong's eyes looked toward the rows of little children in front of him, and in the middle position, he found that little dark, chubby boy.

Last year, there was a time when he sent the fourth sister to school, and this little dark, chubby boy chased after the fourth sister, becoming her little follower.

However, Zhou Andong glanced at the person beside him; this guy wouldn't know that he was Ningning's brother, would he?

"The little girl playing the suona on stage is my younger sister."

Zhou Andong pointed, his face full of helplessness.

"Yesterday, when she got home from school, she told me that I had to come and watch her performance today. This morning, she woke me up a little after six o'clock, afraid that I would oversleep."

The expression on the man's face stiffened, and then it was replaced by surprise: "I was just saying, whose child is so excellent, playing the suona so well at such a young age. It turns out to be Chairman Zhou's sister; that explains it."

He knew about the incident last year when the fourth sister beat up the little dark, chubby boy and his wife came to the school to demand an explanation, only to be rebuffed by An Jing.

His wife had originally wanted to call people to take revenge, but he had strongly stopped her because he realized that the other party might have a significant background.

Also, because it was just children fighting, making a scene that couldn't be cleaned up, or even offending some big shot, really wasn't worth the loss.

At this moment, hearing that the little girl on stage was actually Zhou Andong's sister, he felt very fortunate that he had stopped that "tiger wife" of his at the time.

Under the feet of the Emperor, if you throw a brick, you might hit ten people, and six of them could be department heads or bureau chiefs. If children fight, what is there to make a scene about? If the other party is someone you can't afford to provoke and they refuse to let it go, the one who gets cleaned up will definitely be you.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about coming to the school to inquire about the little girl's family situation, but he gave up in the end. If the other party found out that he was inquiring in secret, it would likely cause a misunderstanding.

"I forgot to introduce myself." The man slapped his forehead: "My name is Guo Daoli, and my son's name is Guo Minggang; he's that little dark, chubby boy sitting in the middle."

Guo Daoli pointed at the heads of the group of little children, and Zhou Andong looked up; that boy was chubby and had a buzz cut, which was indeed very conspicuous.

"By the way!" Guo Daoli didn't give Zhou Andong a chance to speak: "Today is June 1st Children's Day, and the children will be on holiday after the performance ends. I was thinking of taking him to eat at Dicos."

"Since Chairman Zhou is also here, why don't we go together? Dicos is still very delicious, and there are many dishes, much better than McDonald's."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I've already made plans with Little Maozhu's parents to take the children out to eat."

"Isn't that perfect?" Guo Daoli didn't treat himself as an outsider at all: "My Xiaogang is good friends with classmates Zhou Anning and Little Maozhu. Let our three families celebrate Children's Day for the children together."

Zhou Andong looked at Seeing Jian Qiu and Deng Xin quite helplessly; he didn't mind, but he didn't know if Deng Xin would agree.

Deng Xin smiled slightly and nodded: "That's fine. With the three children together, they will definitely be very happy."

Guo Daoli said enthusiastically: "Are you Little Maozhu's mother?"

"Yes!"

Deng Xin always spoke in a soft and gentle voice, without any of the boldness typical of Beijing women.

This guy Guo Daoli was a "natural acquaintance"; in later terms, he suffered from "social butterfly syndrome."

He chatted endlessly with Zhou Andong and Deng Xin, finding topics no matter what was said, and there was never a dull moment.

The fourth sister's program was over, and bursts of applause rang out, especially from Little Maozhu and Guo Minggang, who both stood up, jumping and clapping at the same time.

"Chairman Zhou, how exactly is your sister educated? When you have time, you must teach me. My son just needs to be half as excellent as classmate Zhou Anning."

"There is no particular educational method."

The smile on the corner of Zhou Andong's mouth never disappeared. Today, the fourth sister really gave him face. This "Little Conch" was played—I can't say perfectly, but in his view, it was already very good. After all, how long had this girl been learning?

"As long as it is something the child likes, and as long as it is proper, support them unconditionally. Because only if the child likes it can they learn it with their heart."

"If they don't like it, then don't force them. Because if you force them to learn something they don't like, it will create a rebellious psychology, and even if they learn it, it will just be perfunctory."

"Rather than wasting a lot of time forcing a child to learn things they hate, it is better to let them play to their heart's content and enjoy their childhood."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong looked at Guo Daoli: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion and doesn't mean it's suitable for all children."

Guo Daoli nodded thoughtfully, and I don't know if he heard the last sentence clearly.

The performance continued, and because small situations would occur from time to time, the students and teachers, including the parents, would be amused to laughter.

This also caused the performance, which was supposed to end in an hour, to be delayed by more than twenty minutes.

By the time the children sent their stools back to the classroom and the teacher finished the meeting and dismissed them, it was already twelve o'clock.

The three little ones ran over holding hands, and the fourth sister shouted from afar: "Big Brother, we want to go eat at Dicos."

Zhou Andong was very helpless; even if the fourth sister didn't eat that stuff every day, she still had to eat it several times a week.

If she didn't go for three or four days in a row, An Jing would pack it up and send it to the school for the fourth sister at noon.

Even eating like this, the girl still hadn't had enough.

"Okay!" Zhou Andong waved his hand and said with a big laugh: "Let's go, let's go eat at Dicos."

"Let's go!"

The fourth sister, Little Maozhu, and Guo Minggang carried their little schoolbags and flew toward the main gate.

"Slow down, you guys." Zhou Andong supported Seeing Jian Qiu and shouted at the three children.

Guo Daoli had always thought that Seeing Jian Qiu was the parent of one of the children, and at the time, he was still thinking in his heart.

I don't know which man is so blessed to be able to marry such a beautiful and elegant woman.

It's just that family planning is so strict, yet they still dared to have a second child; there must be someone in the family.

Now he finally understood; it turned out to be Zhou Andong's wife, and it was estimated that she wasn't pregnant with a second child.
