"Huaying, Captain Wang has brought the children to thank you."
Yun Huaying was washing vegetables in the kitchen. When she heard her father-in-law coming to deliver a message, she quickly put down the vegetables, wiped her hands, and went out to greet the guests.
Captain Wang came over alone, carrying Lanlan in his arms, and he was carrying a number of gifts. He smiled when he saw her. "Doctor Yun, I was so focused on the child's health before that I didn't even thank you properly. Lanlan was also frightened, and I didn't thank you in person for saving her life. I brought you a small thank-you gift. I hope you won't mind accepting it."
After that, she also taught the calmed child, "Lanlan, thank your auntie quickly. I saved your life before. If it weren't for my help, you wouldn't know what's happening to you now."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Lanlan was young and not valued at home. She was often beaten and bullied. She became very timid and cowardly. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito and she hid in her father's arms after speaking.
"Captain Wang, I'm a doctor. It's my duty to help in such a situation. Fortunately, the child is fine."
Yun Huaying gently pulled Lanlan's hand and tried to comfort her gently: "Lanlan, don't be afraid, it's okay. From now on, you should chew your food slowly, especially fruits. You should break them open and cut them into pieces before eating them slowly."
The little head nestled in his father's arms nodded slightly, as if he understood what she said.
Li Suyao brought out some cakes and candies and greeted the father and daughter, "Captain Wang, why are you standing? Sit down and hold the child."
"Okay, thank you, Madam Commander."
As Captain Wang spoke, he stuffed the gift in his hand towards Yun Huaying: "Doctor Yun, this is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."
"Huaying, Captain Wang is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. He brought the things here and will not take them back. You should accept them." Li Suyao advised with a smile.
"Okay, I'll take it then."
Yun Huaying accepted the gift, rummaged in her pocket, and pulled out two lollipops, handing them to the little girl: "Lanlan, Auntie will give you a lollipop. Peel it open and lick it slowly. You won't choke."
Seeing the child's eyes glued to the lollipop, Captain Wang instructed her: "It's given by the auntie, take it, and thank her."
"Thank you, Auntie."
This time he spoke louder and happily took the lollipop.
"Sit down." Li Suyao arranged seats for the father and daughter and gave her a soft and fragrant egg cake. "Lanlan, come and have some egg cake. This is baked by Auntie. It's fragrant and soft, and you won't choke on it."
"Thank you, grandma." Lanlan smelled the fragrance and smacked her lips.
Grandma Han, who had just been busy in the kitchen, came out and asked, "Captain Wang, is the child okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, old lady. Fortunately, it's just a superficial wound, no broken bones. The doctor prescribed some medicine, and I just asked the nurse to apply it. She said it will feel better in three to five days."
"I'm glad you're okay."
Grandma Han had also seen the bruises on the child's body. She sighed and said, "I heard that Lanlan is already over four years old. What her mother and aunt did to her must have left a shadow in her heart. No matter how busy you are at work, you should take some time to pay more attention to her. Especially during this period, don't let those bad memories linger in her mind. It will be very detrimental to her future development."
"Okay, thank you for your guidance."
Captain Wang had never thought about these things before. He was a rough man and was not very detailed in his teaching of his children. He didn't pay much attention to them in normal times. Now he regrets it very much.
Li Suyao, who was also sitting nearby, said, "Lanlan is over four years old now, and it's time for her to go to school. We tried to persuade Tian Fang to send her to school before, but she said the child was still young and there was no need to send her. Now it seems she's deliberately confining her to work at home. When school starts, let Lanlan go with Tiaotiao and the others. There will be many children her age at school, and there will be teachers to teach and take care of her. She'll play with them and have fun, and she'll soon forget these unpleasant things."
Captain Wang nodded and asked his daughter, "Lanlan, when school starts, Daddy will send you to school, okay?"
When Lanlan heard the reading, her eyes lit up and she looked up: "Dad, I want to carry a new schoolbag like Brother Tiaotiao."
"Okay, Dad will buy you a new schoolbag."
Captain Wang felt very sad when he heard this, and he blamed himself and said, "Dad will buy you whatever you want in the future."
"Dad, I want a yellow pen to draw a duck."
Hearing that she wanted to paint, Yun Huaying smiled and said, "Lanlan, Auntie will give you a box of watercolor pens, all kinds of colorful ones."
After saying that, he went back to the room on the second floor to get it.
Li Suyao knew that she was giving Lanlan a watercolor pen as a return gift, so she smiled and said to her, "Lanlan, Auntie is really good at painting. She has created many beautiful works, which have been published in magazines. Grandma will show them to you."
When Yun Huaying brought the whole box of watercolor pens over, Lanlan was obviously very happy. She didn't let her father hold the pens anymore and came over to take the watercolor pens herself, smiling with her eyes curved: "Thank you, Auntie, I like them very much."
"As long as you like it."
Yun Huaying squatted down and taught her how to recognize colors, whispering softly, "Lanlan likes painting. You must study hard and persist in learning painting. When you grow up, you can become an artist or designer, or you can become an art teacher and teach students how to paint."
"I want to draw on the book like my auntie." Lanlan pointed at the magazine in Li Suyao's hand.
"Then when you get to school, you must study hard with your teacher. When you draw on the book in the future, you must give a copy to your aunt." Yun Huaying encouraged her with a smile.
Lanlan grinned and said, "I gave Auntie a lot."
"Okay, then Auntie will be waiting."
Yun Huaying smiled and smoothed her dry hair. She then grabbed some candies from the plate and put them in her pocket. "Lanlan, take these home and eat them. Eat one candy a day. If you eat too much, your teeth will get worms."
Every child can't resist the temptation of candy. Looking at the two bulging bags, Lanlan happily jumped into her father's arms.
The Wang family father and daughter did not sit here for long. They chatted briefly and then left. Lanlan was very timid and scared when she came, but she was very happy when she left. She raised her hand and waved goodbye to everyone.
"A sensible and well-behaved child met a stupid mother." Han Bingyu couldn't help but complain.
She had just heard her sister-in-law talk about the Wang family. Before, she thought that the Tian sisters were superficial and scheming, but she didn't expect them to be so cruel to their own children. A woman like Tian Fang was really not worthy of being a mother.
"Tian Fang has a serious patriarchal mentality. She only has eyes for her son, and her daughter is what she calls a money-loser. When she scolded her daughter, I don't know if she was thinking about herself and Tian Mei. I guess it's because of the Tian family's upbringing that they both believe they are money-losers. How stupid and vicious."
Li Suyao really disliked this kind of people. When she saw the injuries on Lanlan's body and Captain Wang beat the two sisters, she did not step forward to stop the fight, thinking that they deserved to be beaten.
