Chapter 84: Climbing High



On this side, Yunduan, who was eating at home, suddenly sneezed several times.

Huo Qiusheng asked worriedly, "Have you caught a cold?"

"Do you want to go to the health center?"

"No, someone must be saying bad things about me behind my back."

Huo Qiusheng curled his lips, "You are so nice, who would say bad things about you?"

Yunduan chuckled.

Huo Qiusheng put a piece of fish into Yunduan's bowl and said:

"It's cool here in the morning and evening, but hot at noon. You and Xiao Pu'er should be careful not to catch a cold."

Yunduan nodded with the food still in his mouth.

Little Pu'er: "Dad, they said you've done something great again. Did you go catch the bad guys when you were away just now?"

Huo Qiusheng raised his hand, took away the rice grains stuck to his mouth, and smiled.

"You are really well-informed. Who told you that?"

“I heard those aunties say that when I was washing my hands with my mother.”

"They said that Mom will enjoy endless happiness with you in the future!"

"Uncle Zeng also said that it was a blessing for Mom to marry you after several lifetimes of hard work, and her ancestral graves are filled with smoke."

Yunduan felt disgusted after hearing this, and even the food didn't taste good anymore.

Huo Qiusheng smiled and said:

"They said it the other way around!"

Yun Duan paused as he was about to put down his chopsticks and leave, then looked up at the tenderness in Huo Qiu Sheng's eyes.

Then I heard him say in that sweet voice:

"Being able to marry your mother is a blessing that I have accumulated over several lifetimes. It is the blessing that should make our Huo family's ancestral graves smoke green smoke."

The discomfort in Yunduan's heart instantly dissipated, and a sweet feeling spread throughout the air. She couldn't help but raise her red lips slightly.

Little Pu'er grinned like an auntie.

Yun Duan looked at her and her pretty face turned red. She glared at Huo Qiu Sheng.

"Why are you saying this in front of the children?"

She said that Huo Qiu Sheng was not good, but she picked up a piece of braised pork ribs for Huo Qiu Sheng.

Huo Qiu Sheng smiled with his black eyes shining brightly and his eyebrows were full of happiness.

"I'm not afraid that the children will misunderstand me."

Yun Duan smiled, not wanting to continue this topic in front of Xiao Pu Er, and asked about Huo Qiu Sheng's meritorious service.

"Whose criminal are you arresting? And you're so arrogant even at the gate of the military base!"

"Are you okay?"

Huo Qiusheng didn't care, "The person who can hurt me hasn't been born yet!"

"They are the accomplices of the human traffickers who nearly kidnapped Xiao Pu'er."

Yunduan looked at Huo Qiusheng with admiration.

“You’re amazing!”

"The police didn't catch them, but you did."

Huo Qiusheng said with a grin, "You're the one who took the lead and did a good job."

This was before praising her for helping the police arrest Tang Chengquan's criminal gang.

Yun Duan was overjoyed by his praise, "Hahaha! That's because you have good taste in finding a partner. You found me."

Huo Qiusheng immediately realized that Yunduan's words were supposed to praise him, but were actually self-praise, and he laughed out loud.

After dinner, Huo Qiu Sheng and Xiao Pu'er rushed to wash the dishes.

Huo Qiusheng waved his hand.

"You're not needed here, go study in your room!"

"If you fail the test, the kindergarten won't accept you."

"No!"

This was the first time that Xiao Pu'er said "no" to Huo Qiu Sheng, and he said it so confidently that it confused him.

Huo Qiusheng asked with a smile:

"It's okay not to do the exercises, but you have to give me a convincing reason."

Then I saw little Pu'er grabbing the hem of Yunduan's clothes as if he was holding a mountain for support, and said to Huo Qiusheng with his milky face raised,

"Uncle Zeng is telling you!"

"He can let me go to kindergarten without taking an exam."

"His mother is the principal of the kindergarten."

Huo Qiusheng's face darkened. "Do you know what this is called? It's called taking the back door."

"Wow! Dad is so fierce."

Little Pu'er hid behind the clouds in fear.

When Zeng Guoqing said he wanted to help Xiao Pu'er get into kindergarten, Yunduan agreed and thanked Zeng Guoqing.

Now that Huo Qiu Sheng said that Xiao Pu'er took the back door, it was equivalent to blaming her for taking the back door!

Yunduan felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he still endured it and bent down to say softly to Xiao Pu'er:

"Mom just asked Uncle Zeng to promise that you will be eligible to take the kindergarten entrance exam. It doesn't mean you can go to kindergarten directly without taking the exam."

"Um?"

Little Pu'er frowned, "But, Aunt Liu said that Uncle Zeng is the son of the kindergarten principal."

"He's useless?"

"So you want to rely on Uncle Zeng's connections and get in through the back door?"

"Or do you want to rely on your own abilities and pass the exam honestly?"

"Of course I want to rely on my own abilities...but what if I fail the exam?"

"Mom, can I not go to kindergarten?"

"I don't want to be separated from you."

As little Pu'er spoke, he threw himself into Yunduan's arms, wrapped his little hands around her neck, and rubbed his head against her chest, which almost made Yunduan soften her heart and let go.

At this time, Huo Qiu Sheng also realized that his tone when speaking to Xiao Pu'er was too harsh.

After all, little Pu'er is only five years old and is not like the soldiers under his command.

He also squatted down, keeping his eyes level with Xiao Pu'er, and said patiently:

"Going to kindergarten allows me to meet many other children, play with many toys, and play games with them."

"There are still many delicious foods to eat after playing."

"The teacher will also play with you, tell you stories, and teach you how to write and draw..."

Little Pu'er not only did not change his mind after hearing this, but became even more resistant. He shook his head like a rattle, his eyes turned red, and he pursed his lips and cried.

"I don't want to go to kindergarten. I don't want to be separated from my mother..."

The little hands grabbed Yunduan's clothes tightly, as if they wanted to send her not to kindergarten but to the execution ground.
