Fortunately, Zhao Zhao knew how to comfort his old father, so he shook his arm and said.
"Of course Daddy is the best! But Teacher Zhuo is also very good to Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao loves him very much!"
Heavy?
"It's respect." Jiang Si couldn't help but remind him.
Huo Tingzhou felt more balanced now. "Yes, your mother is right. It's about respect!"
But the smile on his face came to an abrupt end when he reached the gate of Zhuo's courtyard.
Zhuo Mingda's loud voice could be clearly heard through the thick doors.
Huo Tingzhou frowned. Lao Zhuo was usually very gentle and polite, but he didn't expect him to be like this during class.
"Is Teacher Zhuo always so fierce in class?" He asked Zhao Zhao subconsciously.
Zhao Zhao nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Teacher Zhuo doesn't treat Zhao Zhao like this."
During the half month of class, Teacher Zhuo praised her every day.
Jiang Si ignored the conversation between the father and daughter and went straight to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Zhuo Mingda came out quickly after hearing the knock on the door.
Seeing Jiang Si, he asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Looking again, Huo Tingzhou was there too, and the key point was that he brought Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao with him as well.
Zhuo Mingda hurriedly asked people to go inside, but when he saw what was in Huo Tingzhou's hand, he couldn't help but frown.
We brothers had agreed at the beginning that except for the necessary social interactions, no one was allowed to bring anything when visiting each other.
Even during the New Year holidays, you wouldn't buy so much, right?
Huo Tingzhou said: "This is what your sister-in-law meant."
Zhuo Mingda poured a glass of water for each of them, and grabbed some crispy shrimps for Zhaozhao and Suisui, then said to Jiang Si.
"Sister-in-law, don't bring these things with you next time you come. Lao Huo and I are close friends. You can take these back later."
"That won't do." Jiang Si said with a smile, "These are Zhao Zhao's apprenticeship gifts."
As for tuition fees, it seems inconvenient to mention it today.
After all, there are still students in the inner room, so Huo Tingzhou can only find an opportunity to talk to him privately.
"Oh, so it's a ceremony to pay respect to the teacher." Zhuo Mingda was confused by the students' anger and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. "Pay... pay respect to the teacher?"
Jiang Si nodded and explained her purpose.
"Zhao Zhao really likes mental abacus and wants to continue learning from you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to take her in."
"Convenient! What's inconvenient about this?"
Zhuo Mingda was so excited that he blurted out everything in his heart. "I wanted to talk to Lao Huo about this before the New Year, but I was afraid that he would be reluctant or had other plans, so I never dared to bring it up."
He patted his chest and promised, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about leaving Zhaozhao with me. I will definitely teach her well and treat her as..."
Originally, he wanted to say that he loved Zhaozhao as his own daughter, but when he looked up, he found that Huo Tingzhou was staring at him with a gloomy gaze.
So I stopped talking decisively.
Jiang Si was absolutely reassured about this.
Knowing that he was still in class, she had no intention of staying longer.
After they talked for a while, Jiang Si said, "Then we'll trouble you with our Zhao Zhao. We have something else to do, so we'll be leaving first."
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about! It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble."
Zhuo Mingda waved his hands repeatedly and warmly asked them to stay: "Don't leave, have lunch with me at noon."
"Don't bother." Jiang Si just opened her mouth.
Zhuo Mingda interrupted, "No, no, we must stay here for dinner today."
We are usually busy, so it is a rare opportunity today.
After saying that, he looked at Huo Tingzhou again, "Old Huo, say something."
The door to the inner room was ajar, and Zhuo Mingda was also silent.
Everyone in the room heard the noise outside.
