Taking this opportunity, Granny Li indicated that she would pack her belongings today and set off for the capital tomorrow.

Granny Li only mentioned herself, but didn't say whether Yan Hong and Cui Liu would stay or come with her. Xu Gao and Cheng Kai didn't say anything either. Seeing that Granny Li had already made her decision, Cheng Kai said to Xu Gao, "Since Granny Li has already set the departure time, we'll have to trouble you, Madam, to prepare some gifts for everyone in the family. Also, it's Abo and Ayuan's first time visiting our home, so we should prepare a good feast to entertain them."

Xu Gao quickly agreed and turned around to busy himself with preparing gifts and arranging lunch.

Xu Bai held Tuan Ge'er's hand and walked towards Xu Gao's courtyard, saying, "Tuan Ge'er, you must remember what your seventh uncle said. In this world, sometimes face is the most valuable thing, and sometimes face is the least valuable thing."

Tuan Ge'er replied crisply, "Seventh Uncle, you're amazing! Tuan Ge'er has remembered what you said."

Cheng Kai paused slightly upon hearing Tuan Ge'er's words.

Cheng Kai really likes Xu Bai. He's liked Xu Bai since he was very young. The reason he likes him is because Xu Bai has many things that Cheng Kai doesn't have, and these are things that Cheng Kai has always longed for. But now, Xu Bai is teaching his child like this. Is it good or bad?

Cheng Kai knew perfectly well that Xu Bai, despite his fair and delicate appearance, was cunning and resourceful. He could come up with an idea in the blink of an eye, and this was a thin-skinned, generously filled glutinous rice ball.

As soon as Cheng Kai came down, Old Qingping took him to his courtyard and personally taught him. Old Qingping saw very clearly that Cheng Kai's father was useless and Cheng Kai's mother was short-sighted. As the eldest son and grandson of the family, Cheng Kai would definitely not amount to anything if he fell into the hands of these two people. For the sake of Qingping's future, he had no choice but to take Cheng Kai over and teach him personally.

Cheng Kai was taught by his grandfather from a very young age that he had nothing but responsibility and duty in his heart. He spent his days either reading or practicing martial arts. While other children could be spoiled by their parents, he had to squat in the training ground to practice his horse stance and kung fu. Over time, Cheng Kai's childlike nature was gradually worn away.

When Cheng Kai met Xu Bai, he felt that Xu Bai was like a little sun, shining brightly. Moreover, Xu Bai was very understanding and helped the young couple get out of that quagmire. Cheng Kai later realized that children who grow up with enlightened and loving parents and are loved by their parents are like Xu Bai.

At that time, Cheng Kai did not have her own children, but she secretly resolved that when she had her own children in the future, she would raise them to be as dazzling as Xu Bai, just like Xu Bai's parents.

Xu Bai noticed that Tuan Ge'er was walking unsteadily and said to him, "Tuan Ge'er, look at you, your lower body is not stable. When you turn three next year, you should practice your kung fu properly, especially the basics. You must make sure you are solid."

Tuan Ge'er nodded and said, "Seventh Uncle, I understand. I'll do whatever you say, okay?"

Xu Bai nodded and said, "That's right. I've been your age too, so I naturally know what's best. Practicing kung fu is tough and tedious. Think about it, in the summer it's so hot, while others have ice and plum juice in their rooms, so cool and comfortable. But us, we're squatting in horse stance until the ground around us is soaked with sweat, and we still have to grit our teeth and persevere. In the winter it's the same, so cold, in the wind and snow, we still have to practice however we have to."

Tuan Ge'er's face turned a little pale as he listened, and Xu Bai quickly said, "But don't be afraid. Only in this way can you master kung fu, right? True gold cannot be broken by fire. Our kung fu is developed little by little in this way. Only kung fu developed in this way is the most powerful. Tuan Ge'er, your seventh uncle believes that you will definitely become a person even more powerful than your seventh uncle in the future."

Tuan Ge'er stared at Xu Bai with his big, round eyes and nodded vigorously. No one expected that Xu Bai's words today would plant a seed in Tuan Ge'er's little heart. More than twenty years later, that seed had grown into a towering tree. By then, Tuan Ge'er had become a general stationed in Liaodong, renowned and a pillar of the Liaodong defense line.

Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, Tuan Ge'er, who is still a little dumpling, is holding Xu Bai's hand, looking at Xu Bai with admiration, and saying in a soft voice, "Seventh Uncle, you are so amazing. You are the most amazing person."

When Cheng Kai heard his son praising someone else as the most capable person, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

After Tuan Ge'er was born, Cheng Kai was always busy with military affairs and didn't have much time to spend with Tuan Ge'er. He originally thought that while Tuan Ge'er was still young, he could stay by his mother's side and enjoy a few happy years. He had never been taken care of by his own mother since he was a child, and he always felt that it was a regret. He didn't want his son to have such a regret. Who knew that Tuan Ge'er had already developed his own preferences without his knowledge?

Cheng Kai felt a sense of urgency. He felt that if he continued as before, he would miss out on many things, but he was also somewhat confused about what to do.

When they arrived at Xu Gao's courtyard, Xu Gao had already arranged for someone to go out and buy gifts, and also arranged for the kitchen to prepare lunch.

When Tuan Ge'er saw his mother sitting at the table, he ran over in a few steps, hugged Xu Gao's waist, and said, "Mother, Mother, Seventh Uncle said that I should start practicing kung fu next year after I turn three. Mother, can you go and talk to Father and ask him to find me a powerful master?"

Xu Gao was about to agree immediately, but when she looked up and saw her husband's somewhat dark face, she felt a sudden unease.

Xu Gao had been married to Cheng Kai for many years and knew Cheng Kai quite well, as he was a man of few words. He always seemed unhappy, which puzzled Xu Gao. Therefore, he didn't immediately agree to Tuan Ge'er's request, but instead asked, "Tuan Ge'er, you're only two years old. Why do you want to practice kung fu?"

Tuan Ge'er said, "My seventh uncle said he started practicing kung fu after he turned three. My seventh uncle is the most powerful person. Tuan Ge'er wants to be as powerful as my seventh uncle in the future."

After Tuan Ge'er finished speaking, Xu Gao noticed that Cheng Kai's face had darkened even more. Suddenly, Xu Gao realized the crux of the matter and couldn't help but chuckle. He hugged Tuan Ge'er's soft little body and said, "Tuan Ge'er, you asked your father to help you find a master, that's between you and your father, you should go and talk to your father yourself."

Tuan Ge'er said with some doubt, "But I've never asked Father for anything. What if Father doesn't agree?"

Hearing what Tuan Ge'er said, Cheng Kai felt even more choked up, and even his breathing became heavier.

Xu Bai also noticed Cheng Kai's expression and chuckled a little. However, he still watched the father and son, Tuan Ge'er and Cheng Kai, with great interest. He was now quite looking forward to seeing if the relationship between Cheng Kai and Tuan Ge'er could improve.
