"Jia Le, come here, let daddy take a good look at you."

Tian Kai greeted him warmly while looking his son up and down carefully.

After taking this look, he felt even happier. This son was exactly like him.

Li Li pushed her son in front of Tian Kai and said, "Jia Le, call daddy quickly. If you call daddy, he will buy you a big toy."

In order to hear his son call him "Dad", Tian Kai also echoed, "Yes, Jiale, do you want a big toy?"

Ling Jiale nodded rapidly, not caring whether he knew the man or not, and shouted, "Dad!"

"Hey! Good son!"

Tian Kai was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear, and was about to take Ling Jiale out to buy a big toy, but was stopped by Li Li.

"It's so late, where can we buy toys? Give me the money and I'll ask my dad to take him to buy it tomorrow."

Tian Kai thought it made sense. Besides, there were many people from the cigarette factory living nearby, and it would be bad if they were recognized.

Tian Kai took out 2 yuan and gave it to Li Li, but Li Li sneered and didn't take it.

"It's been 5 years. This is the first time you bought a toy for your own son, and you want to give him 2 dollars?"

Tian Kai looked down at his fat and stubborn son, and simply gave all the money in his hand to Li Li.

Li Li counted and found there were 7 or 8 yuan. She put the money away with satisfaction and gave Tian Kai a kiss on the face.

"That's better. You and Jiale can play in the house for a while. I'll go wash the dishes."

Li Li packed up the dishes and went out. She caught a glimpse of a dark figure squatting on the roadside outside the door. After careful identification, she found that it was her father Li Dajun.

Li Li thought about it, put the dishes and chopsticks on the stove at the door, and walked out the door.

She lived in a bungalow with a palm-sized courtyard. There were three rooms in the bungalow, and she rented the one on the left. She usually cooked on the coal stove at the door.

"Dad, it's so cold, what are you doing here?"

Li Dajun slowly stood up from the ground. Even the darkness could not conceal his melancholy.

"Li, I really regret it. If I had known earlier, I would not have listened to your mother and let you marry Tian Kai. It wouldn't have ended up like this, with a broken family and a broken marriage."

Li Li disagreed, "There's nothing wrong with it now."

Her ex-husband Ling Jiang gives her 20 yuan plus 10 kilograms of rice every month. As for Tian Kai, she can also make 10 or 20 yuan every month. Add to that the wages she earns from working, and her life will only get better and better in the future.

"Dad, you don't need to farm the little farmland back home anymore. Just stay in the city and help me take care of Jiale."

"If we don't farm, what will we eat in the future?"

"I'm here for you. When spring comes, I'll ask Tian Kai to find a kindergarten for Jiale. Then you can find some odd jobs. Isn't that better than farming?"

Li Dajun actually didn't want to stay in the countryside. It wasn't because farming was tiring, but because he felt so lonely and had no one to talk to.

By staying in the city, I can help take care of my grandchildren without being too lonely.

In this way, Li Dajun and his grandson Ling Jiale lived in the single room rented by Li Li for a long time.

During the day, Li Li went to work at the tobacco factory, and Li Dajun took Ling Jiale out to play.

This area is full of rental houses, and there are many families living here. Ling Jiale quickly became friends with the children of the same age around him.

At night, when Tian Kai has nothing to do, he will bring delicious food and fun things to visit his biological son Ling Jiale.

Li Li lived a rich and happy life and was in high spirits every day, but Tian Kai's girlfriend Ma Yanhong was very dissatisfied with Tian Kai.

Not only could he not find her for two or three days, but he also took a lot of money from her.

Because he was thinking about the roast chicken, Tian Kai didn't even notice the person waiting for him at the factory gate.

"Tian Kai!"

Ma Yanhong was already feeling angry after not seeing each other for a few days, but Tian Kai just ignored her and walked away, which made Ma Yanhong very angry.

Tian Kai turned around and saw Ma Yanhong, so he quickly went forward.

"Yanhong, why are you here?"

Ma Yan glared at him with red eyes, "How dare you ask me where you have been these past few days? I went to your place several times and you were not there."

Tian Kai was about to explain when he saw Li Li walking out of the factory gate, staring at him and Ma Yanhong.

Tian Kai felt very guilty, so he tried to persuade Ma Yanhong to leave.

"Yanhong, my little aunt, please don't be angry. You don't know how charming you are when you are angry..."

Tian Kai is not good-looking, has a low level of education and no special abilities. He was able to win the heart of a woman from a well-off family like Ma Yanhong only because of his mouth.

Ma Yanhong grabbed his ears and said, "Tell me, what have you been doing these days? If you dare to lie to me, I'll pull your ears off."

Tian Kai pretended to be exaggerated and yelled, "Ouch, be gentle, it hurts you if I get hurt, it doesn't matter if I get hurt, but I don't want to hurt you."

"Don't be so smooth-talking to me!"

"I'm telling you, I recently went with Ma Dong to meet clients and accompanied him for drinks and socializing. Sometimes when I drank too much, I would go straight to Ma Dong's place and sleep."

Ma Yanhong let go, but her face was still full of doubt, "Is it true?"

"I swear, if you don't believe me, go ask Ma Dong."

Ma Yanhong snorted in annoyance, "You are not a salesperson, why are you meddling with Ma Dong?"

"Just because I'm not one now doesn't mean I won't be one in the future. Yanhong, you're so beautiful, well-off, and have a powerful father. Even though I don't have much ability, I can't let you marry me and live a hard life.

I went to social events with Ma Dong to gain experience and make connections. When I am transferred to the sales department, it won’t embarrass you and our father, don’t you think?"

Ma Yanhong blushed and spat at him, "What are you shouting about? Who is your dad?"

Tian Kai climbed up the pole, hugged her and kissed her twice, "You are my wife, and your father is my father!"

After some tenderness.

Ma Yanhong lay in Tian Kai's arms contentedly, complaining coquettishly: "Ma Dong himself is not doing very well, he has worked in the sales department for a few years and has not made any progress. What future can you have by following him?"

Tian Kai was so tired that he was almost sleepy. He responded weakly, "There's nothing I can do about it. Among the salesmen in the sales department, only Ma Dong would pay attention to me."

"Okay, I'll talk to my dad in a few days and ask him to transfer you to the sales department as soon as possible and assign you an experienced trainer to guide you."

Tian Kai was so excited that he woke up from his sleepiness, "Really?"

"Believe it or not."

Tian Kai turned over, held down Ma Yanhong and kissed her fiercely, "Yanhong, I love you so much!"

"Hey, be gentle..."

In the following days, Tian Kai would go to Ma Yanhong whenever he had free time, taking her to eat, go shopping, and watch movies. He would also give her small gifts from time to time, which made Ma Yanhong very happy.

On the other hand, Li Li, who was ignored, was dissatisfied and took her son directly to Tian Kai's residence.
