It wasn't until Chaochao returned home and vividly recounted her "battle scene" to Yu Yuehui and Xie Yan that they learned about it.
Xie Yan was a little worried that Chaochao was injured, so he quickly checked her carefully and found that she was unharmed. Even her hair was neat and her clothes were clean and without any mess. He then breathed a long sigh of relief.
Chao was so excited he felt like he could fly.
Although she had been training hard with her mother, she had never had a chance to fight in real combat, and she was full of curiosity about her own abilities.
The moment she kicked the fat woman's grandson away, she felt as if all the power in her body had found an outlet, and she liked this feeling of being full of power.
That kick today gave her an unprecedented joy, and she couldn't wait to show it off to her parents.
After showing off, she frowned and became worried. She felt that she could be even better. Right now, she couldn't beat her brother, so if she encountered someone as strong as him, she would definitely get beaten.
To become even better, she decided to train extra.
"Mom, we're free right now, shall we train a little more?" Chaochao said, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter, her face full of excitement, as if she were already immersed in the wonderful fantasy of the training that was about to begin.
Yu Yue smiled and affectionately patted her head, patiently advising, "Chaochao! Training isn't something that can be accomplished overnight; it takes time and consistent effort. We just need to keep at it every day, but we can't overwork ourselves, okay?"
However, at this moment, Chaochao seemed to be possessed and couldn't listen to anything.
She was filled with a desire to train and felt that she was full of energy and could train a little longer.
She secretly does a little more than her brother every day, and soon she will be better than him.
Seeing that no amount of persuasion could dissuade her, Yu Yue had no choice but to turn to Xie Yan for help.
Xie Yan understood immediately, coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Chao Chao, if you're training, you'll get your new clothes dirty."
Chaochao paused for a moment, looked down at her pretty new clothes, gently touched them with her little hands, and then her eyes lit up. "Then I'll take them off and wear yesterday's old clothes first. I'll wear the new clothes after I finish training."
Xie Yan was at a loss. He looked helplessly at his wife, spread his hands, and said, "I can't do anything about it either."
In the end, unable to resist Chaochao's insistence, Yu Yuehui was forced to train her.
Fortunately, it was morning, and there weren't many people around in the village yet, so no guests would be coming to the house.
The most likely person to come is in Beijing this year, so there's no need to worry about being mobbed.
After training, Chaochao's cheeks were flushed, like a ripe apple, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
She excitedly wiped her sweat, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yu Yuehui, and loudly announced, "I've decided! From now on, I'll train for an extra hour every day!"
"Uh!" Xie Yan looked at her energetic daughter with some surprise, feeling both gratified by her enthusiasm and worried that she was too tired.
I wanted to try to persuade her, but looking at my daughter's determined eyes, I could only smile and agree in the end.
After changing into her new clothes, Chaochao, like a happy little rabbit, hopped and skipped outside, ready to share her joy with her grandparents.
But just as she reached the door, she suddenly turned back, stood in front of Xie Yan, and stammered, "Um, um..."
"?" Xie Yan looked puzzled and turned to look at his wife, his eyes full of questions: What's wrong with our daughter?
Yu Yuehui was also completely bewildered. She was equally confused. Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago? Why did her expression suddenly change?
"Chaochao! Just tell me what's wrong. Your father and I can handle it."
When Chaochao heard her mother say that, it seemed like she had made a big decision. She took a long breath, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Can I call you Dad and Mom?"
Xie Yan: "?"
That's it?
I never expected my daughter to be so conflicted about this.
Yu Yuehui also showed a surprised expression. She originally thought that something terrible had happened to the child, but it turned out to be just this?
Seeing that the two remained silent, Chaochao assumed they disagreed, so she lowered her head and said pitifully, "If we can't call you that, then forget it!"
Xie Yan: "..."
I felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.
It didn't say we couldn't shout!
What's the rush?
Can't we give them even a moment to react?
Clearly, Chaochao wasn't someone who could give them time. After saying that, she turned and left to secretly grieve alone.
Yu Yuehui reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and saying, "What's the rush? We didn't say we couldn't call out!"
"Call me whatever you like!"
Xie Yan nodded in agreement, "That's right! 'Father' and 'mother' mean the same thing. You can call them whichever you prefer."
When Chaochao heard that he could call them father and mother, his eyebrows shot up with joy.
Hahaha, she'll be calling them "father" and "mother" from now on, let's see who dares to say anything to her now.
snort!
Because she always called her father and mother, her friends always teased her. Now she can finally call them father and mother like other children.
Chaochao's eyes darted around a few times before she fixed them on Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui, then called out in a clear voice, "Father, Mother!"
Xie Yan: "..."
To be honest, I was still a little unaccustomed to it, but looking at my daughter's bright, expectant eyes, I could only suppress my discomfort and smile in response.
Compared to Xie Yan, Yu Yuehui accepted it much better, since she herself had always called them "father" and "mother".
Having accomplished this important task, Chaochao vanished like a gust of wind.
Looking at Xie Yan, who was still somewhat dazed, Yu Yuehui couldn't help but laugh and tease, "What's wrong? You're still not used to Chaochao calling you 'Dad'?"
Xie Yan shook his head helplessly, "That's right, that's right. It makes me feel like I've aged decades in an instant just by calling him 'Dad'."
Yu Yuehui couldn't help but chuckle and comforted him, "It's okay, you'll get used to it after calling me that a few times."
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The table at home was already full of prepared melon seeds, peanuts, and various candies. These were specially prepared for Chaochao's friends in case they came over later.
Unexpectedly, before Chaochao's friends arrived, Zhang Shiyu came first.
She was exceptionally different today, like a long-dusted pearl finally shining brightly, radiant and beautiful.
This change surprised Xie Yan, who couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, wondering what could have caused such a drastic change in a person.
Yu Yuehui didn't feel the same surprise as Xie Yan. In her heart, Zhang Shiyu had always been beautiful, but today she seemed even more dazzling.
Therefore, she naturally accepted Zhang Shiyu's changes.
But Xie Yan wasn't someone who could easily accept this. He picked up a book, pretended to read it seriously, and silently listened to the intimate conversation between the two sisters.
