Chapter 402 Why is Dad living at Mom's house? Hearing this, Jiang Si raised her eyebrows, "Can it be faster? Does that mean you let it go today?

I have to say that my child is so outstanding that as a parent I feel proud but also a little pressured.

Fortunately, there are four people in their family, and each of them has his own track, otherwise they really couldn’t handle it.

"No." Zhao Zhao was a little sleepy at this time, and mumbled, "It would be faster to change the method."

Another way?

Jiang Si was about to ask what the method was, but when she looked down, she saw that Zhao Zhao was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyelids. She had to give up the idea and take her home quickly.

…

When the whole family learned that Zhaozhao won first place in the competition for the first time, they couldn't stop smiling.

The old man immediately brought out his chessboard.

Everyone sees through it but doesn't say anything.

Not to mention the old man was happy, even Sui Sui, who was always low-key, was unusually excited today.

While his sister was sleeping, he went out for a walk.

So, that afternoon, everyone in the family compound, young and old, knew that little Jingyan from the Huo family had won the first place in the Beijing Abacus Competition!

And first in the youth group!

This really made all the old men in the compound furious.

Mrs. Huo was not idle either. She immediately went into the kitchen and added several more dishes.

The celebration banquet in the evening was as sumptuous as the Chinese New Year.

The whole family chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was so harmonious!

Although Huo Tingzhou was absent, the phone call came as scheduled in the evening.

"Are the children asleep?"

"Yeah, they're asleep." Jiang Si held the receiver and glanced gently at the room where the two children slept.

Although each abacus game may only take about half an hour, it is actually very mentally demanding.

"On the way back with her in my arms, she fell asleep in my arms."

Huo Tingzhou felt a little distressed, but men are always reserved in such matters. "This time when we go back, let her have some fun and relax for a while."

After a pause, he asked again, "Have you packed up everything?"

"It's packed." Jiang Si responded.

Suddenly remembering something, she said with a hint of annoyance, "I've been on the phone for so long, and all you did was ask if the kids slept and if their things were put away. Didn't you even ask about your daughter's day?"

As the words fell, a man's low laugh came from the other end of the phone, "I've heard it."

Jiang Si reacted for a moment before she understood what he meant.

Yes, from the moment the phone was connected.

There was a hint of pleasure in her voice.

Even though several hours had passed, Jiang Si's tone was still full of excitement when she mentioned her daughter's award.

"The rules of the finals were changed. Your daughter fought one against 24 and scored 13 points straight away, winning first place."

Huo Tingzhou was very good at grasping the key points. As soon as he heard that the rules had been changed, he understood.

"Zhao Zhao, you haven't been wronged, have you?"

"No." Jiang Si said with a smile, and recounted in detail what happened at the finals.

But Huo Tingzhou on the other end of the phone just listened with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Si couldn't help but pause as she spoke, "Zhao Zhao won an award, how come you, as a father, aren't excited at all?"

Huo Tingzhou on the other end of the phone smiled again, "No, I'm very happy and proud of her."

But he was not surprised at this result at all.

Lao Zhuo called him frequently during this period.

"He keeps talking about Zhao Zhao every three sentences. People who don't know him would think Zhao Zhao is his daughter."

Hearing the sourness in his tone, Jiang Si was both amused and helpless. "They're praising your daughter, and they're praising her wrongly? Chief of Staff Huo, your jealousy is a bit unreasonable."

"That's not what I meant." Huo Tingzhou pinched his eyebrows.

He and Lao Zhuo went to the same school, how could he not understand him?

It was obvious that Lao Zhuo had other intentions, which was why he didn't point it out to him in person.

I guess he felt that even if he told him, he wouldn't be able to agree with it.

In fact, before he had children, he had imagined a lot.

He even thought that when the children grew up, he would train them every day and train them to be the best soldiers.

But when he really became a father, he found that his ideas had completely changed.

Zhaozhao is still young, and it is her freedom to do whatever she wants in the future, but children of this age should play carefree instead of confining themselves to a desk and studying endlessly.

At the core, he is just an ordinary father.

These words were the little thoughts hidden in his heart, but Huo Tingzhou did not say them out loud.

But Zhao Zhao couldn't help but make a request to Jiang Si after dinner today.

"Your daughter said that after the New Year she doesn't want to go to the small class at the Children's Palace anymore."

Huo Tingzhou suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, "What's wrong? Does she think it's boring?"

Jiang Si nodded.

To be precise, the teaching method of the Children's Palace can no longer meet Zhao Zhao's current needs.

"Zhao Zhao said she wants to take classes with Teacher Zhuo. You can find some time to ask him if he's willing to take her."

Huo Tingzhou was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Si asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

"No." Although he was upset, Huo Tingzhou still denied Jiang Si's guess.

In fact, Lao Zhuo has been searching for good talents in recent years, and he teaches classes personally on weekends and during winter and summer vacations.

However, his requirements are quite high, so he has only recruited three or four children in the past few years.
