Chapter 229
Leng Zexi leisurely led his three lovely children for a stroll in the quiet campus.
They walked at a leisurely pace while patiently waiting for Xia Ruoan to come out of the examination room.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Sui Sui suddenly pointed to a place and shouted excitedly: "Dad, look here! There is a photo of Mom here!"
Hearing Sui Sui's call, Leng Zexi looked in the direction of her finger and indeed found that familiar face - it was Xia Ruoan's photo posted on the honor roll of the Horticulture Department.
Looking at his wife's excellent grades and achievements displayed here, Leng Zexi couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.
However, curious Ningning was not satisfied with finding her mother's photo like her older brother.
He opened his eyes wide and searched the entire honor roll carefully, but he still couldn't find his father Leng Zexi.
So Ningning looked up with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Dad, why is there no photo of you here?"
Leng Zexi smiled and touched Ningning's little head. When he was about to explain, Ningning said first: "Dad, this is the honor roll! Could it be that... Dad, you are not as good as Mom?"
"I even saw Uncle Ouyang's photo, but I didn't see yours." After saying this, the innocent Ningning giggled to herself.
After hearing this, Leng Zexi suddenly felt itchy and wanted to teach this naughty little guy a lesson.
However, the sensible Sui Sui noticed his father's embarrassment and helplessness. He quickly glanced at Leng Zexi, then quickly reached out and pulled Ning Ning, who was still laughing, to his side, and whispered to comfort her: "Ning Ning, stop making trouble."
"This is the honor roll of the Horticulture Department. Our father didn't study this major. So naturally there won't be any photos of him here."
After hearing what her eldest brother said, Ningning nodded as if she understood, and stopped making fun of her father.
"I heard from my mother that my father studied economics! So, maybe my father's photo is hidden in the economics department."
Sui Sui cautiously glanced at his father, whose face was almost gloomy, and then muttered in a low voice: "Even if you really can't find the photo, Dad is actually quite good, so don't despise him. You know, no matter how good this stepfather is, he can never be as good as the biological father."
At this moment, Nian Nian, who was eating an apple, heard this, quickly swallowed the fruit in her mouth, and turned to look at Leng Zexi.
Then he quickly moved to Ningning's side, took his little hand, and echoed, "Yes, yes, you can't dislike dad. After all, he is your biological father! And most importantly, dad is amazing at making money!"
Sui Sui nodded again and again, adding with a serious face, "My third uncle has praised Dad, saying that he is the best at making money! We have always hoped that Dad can make more money so that we can expand our yard."
After hearing these words, Leng Zexi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Thinking back to those days, he was looking forward to the birth of these three little guys with great joy. However, at this moment, he wished he could throw them all away like garbage.
What three heartless ungrateful bastards!
"Ningning, your uncle Ouyang said that he hasn't seen you for a long time and he misses you so much!"
"How about this, once we get home, you can go to your uncle Ouyang's house and stay for a while, okay? Anyway, you don't dislike me as your biological father." Leng Zexi looked at Ningning expressionlessly and spoke lightly.
When Ningning heard this, her eyes widened instantly and she looked at Leng Zexi in disbelief. Her mouth opened wide and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Why? Don't you want to? It seems like you don't like your uncle Ouyang!"
"Okay, in that case, I'll call your uncle Ouyang right now and tell him that he will never take you out to play again from now on!" Leng Zexi said this while pretending to be serious. He quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and pretended to dial a number.
Ning Ning was terrified when he saw this. He quickly stretched out his little hand and tightly grabbed Leng Zexi's trouser leg, raised his little face and cried out pitifully, "I was wrong, Dad! Dad is the best in the world."
When Sui Sui and Niannian, who were standing by, heard their brother shouting like that, they immediately shut their mouths.
In fact, they both really hope to continue staying with their mother.
However, how could Leng Zexi let these two little brats go easily?
I can take this opportunity to send them both to their grandparents' house for a few days. In this way, I can enjoy a few days of sweet time with my dear wife!
So, he decisively gave the order: "You two go back and pack your things together and stay at your grandparents' house for a while."
And there is no room for the children to bargain or refuse.
Seeing their father's firm attitude, Sui Sui and Niannian also panicked and rushed over to hug Leng Zexi's thighs, begging in a crying voice: "Dad, we know we are wrong! We shouldn't despise you! Please don't chase us away!"
At this moment, because the two children used too much force, Leng Zexi felt that his pants were about to be pulled off.
He had to free one hand to hold onto the wall next to him to maintain balance, and with the other hand he pulled hard at his pants that were about to slip off, while lowering his voice and shouting angrily: "Stop pulling! My pants are about to fall off!"
"What are you doing?" Xia Ruoan had just finished the exam and walked out of the examination room. He saw this scene in front of him and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
I saw the three little guys, Ningning, Suisui and Niannian, surrounding Leng Zexi, their faces were tense and they looked pitiful.
"Mom, Dad doesn't want us anymore!" When Ningning heard her mother's voice, she immediately turned around and ran towards her mother like a happy little rabbit.
Seeing this, Suisui and Niannian quickly let go of the hands that were holding Leng Zexi's pants and trotted over.
After running to her mother, Suisui was the first to complain: "Dad wants to send Ningning to Uncle Ouyang, and send me and Niannian to my grandparents' house!" After saying that, she did not forget to pout her little mouth to show her dissatisfaction.
Xia Ruoan looked at the cute children and couldn't help but asked with a half-smile, "Did you act naughty again and make your dad angry?"
After hearing what their mother said, the three little ones blinked their big eyes, shook their heads vigorously, and then said in unison in their childish and babyish voices: "No~"
At this time, Leng Zexi walked over helplessly, stretched out his hand to take the backpack from Xia Ruoan's shoulder, and explained: "These little brats actually disliked that there was no photo of me on the honor roll."
After hearing this, Xia Ruoan was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly.
She squatted down, gently rubbed the heads of the three babies, and comforted them: "Don't worry, babies, let's go look for it together and find Daddy's photo."
Then, she stood up, took the children's hands, turned to look at Leng Zexi and said, "Let's go, husband, let's take the children to have a look."
"Actually, your dad's photo isn't just on the honor roll. He also has his photo and name on the Economics Department, on the board of directors, and on the list of people who have made great contributions to the school."
"Your father is a very remarkable man, even more remarkable than your mother!" Xia Ruoan looked at them and said.
If other students had not accidentally discovered and pointed them out, she herself might not have realized that there were so many photos.
After asking around, I found out that, except for those photos displayed in the Economics Department due to his outstanding personal achievements, the rest of the photos were of great contribution significance to the entire school.
And she is the key person who made all these achievements possible!
"Is your father particularly amazing? There are even more photos of him that have been publicly displayed than those of your mother."
Xia Ruoan smiled, turned his gaze to Ningning beside him and spoke softly.
Ningning clenched her fists and responded seriously, "Mom, wait."
"In the future, I will definitely have more photos than Dad, and I will put them together with yours. I also want to learn how to grow vegetables like you."
However, after hearing this, Xia Ruoan didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Although it is not impossible for Ningning to surpass her father and become even better in the future, it is better not to mention the matter of learning to grow vegetables for the time being.
Whenever Xia Ruoan thought of the desolate scene of Ningning's small vegetable garden where no grass grew, he couldn't help feeling helpless.
At this moment, Leng Zexi, who was standing by, heard his youngest son's confident words and couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Don't be so hasty to brag. It won't be too late to talk about this when you can successfully grow vegetables in your vegetable garden."
"Dad, how can you look down on me like this! Just wait and see. I am just accumulating energy and gathering strength. When the time is right, what I grow will definitely be very good!"
Ningning put her hands on her hips and spoke loudly with confidence.
Then, Ningning turned around and looked at her mother Xia Ruoan expectantly, and said coquettishly: "Mom, after we go home, I want to plant sweet potatoes."
"Uncle Gu told me that sweet potatoes are easy to grow. Their leaves can be used to cook and the sweet potatoes they produce are even more delicious."
After saying that, Ningning swallowed her saliva, as if she had already tasted the sweetness of the sweet potato.
Hearing Ning Ning mention "Uncle Gu", Xia Ruo'an couldn't help but feel a little confused. She cast her eyes to Leng Zexi beside her and asked, "Uncle Gu? Who is this?"
At this time, Ningning excitedly took over the conversation and continued to describe it vividly: "Yes, it was Uncle Gu! He is so awesome. He took me to see the big and fat wild boars he raised."
As she spoke, Ningning exaggeratedly gestured the size of the wild boar with her hands.
As Xia Ruoan listened to his son's story, he gradually had some guesses in his mind.
Leng Zexi nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, it's Gu Xingchen."
