The dog even developed a competitive spirit, but it was only comparing itself to its own son. Zhang Yan glanced at the children.
An'an and Yuanyuan already knew how to do it, and they were teaching Gou Dan and the puppies. It seemed to be very effective; the two little puppies could already glide around, wobbling, and they might learn it in a little while.
Zhang Yan felt she couldn't afford to lose to her two children, so she had to work harder!
The two of them put all their effort into learning to ice skate, and now they weren't afraid of falling. They were competing in speed. Meanwhile, Yu Jiu and Xu Zi were chatting and skating at the same time, having a great time.
Yu Jiu glanced at Zhang Yan and saw that she and Gouzi were studying very seriously, so she didn't go over to disturb them.
However, no matter how hard Zhang Yan and Gouzi tried, they were no match for their two sons' cleverness and agility. Gou Dan and Gou Zaizi took the lead and learned to skate first. They skated over to their parents and teased them for a while before going to skate and play by themselves.
Zhang Yan and Gouzi shook their heads in frustration; they were indeed getting old.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiu smiled and couldn't help but ask Xu Zijiang.
"Your kids are all grown up now, don't you feel like you're getting old?"
"No."
Xu Zijiang answered quickly and decisively, so quickly that it seemed as if he hadn't even thought about it.
"Why? Don't you really think you're getting old? Look at An'an, she's already so old. It's like she'll be able to get married in a few years. Even if she doesn't get married, she'll probably be dating someone in a few years."
Our daughter is so beautiful, so outstanding, and so clever. Lots of male classmates like her, so it's no wonder she's dating.
“My kids are all grown up to the age where they can date, and sometimes I feel like I’m already old.”
Yu Jiu felt a little emotional. It wasn't that she had wrinkles or gray hair; she hadn't reached that point yet. It was just that watching her children grow up day by day was like watching herself grow old day by day. They were completely opposite to their children.
Perhaps it's a small problem with my mindset; Yu Jiu often sighs like this sometimes.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're not old at all. How old are we? We're not even seventy or eighty yet, what's with all this talk about being old? Besides, An'an won't be dating anytime soon. She'll have to wait until she graduates from college. She's still so young, she hasn't even started high school yet."
Xu Zijiang retorted that he neither thought Yu Jiu was old, nor did he think his daughter would be dating so soon. In fact, he wouldn't allow his An'an to have a relationship so early. If any brat dared to try to seduce his An'an, he would break his legs.
"You're so strict about An'an's dating life, be careful she doesn't rebel later."
Yu Jiu couldn't help but laugh. Xu Zijiang really kept a close eye on An'an. If a male classmate glanced at An'an, he would ask a few more questions. Luckily, An'an hadn't rebelled yet, otherwise, this old father would be driven crazy.
"An'an won't do that. Besides, I'm doing this for her own good. None of those male classmates are good-looking, and they're still so young. What's the point of dating? She'll have plenty of boyfriends to choose from in the future. There's no rush."
Xu Zijiang refused to give in.
He either thought the male classmates were ugly, or that they were too short, not strong enough, or that their grades weren't good enough, or that their families weren't good enough. In short, no matter how he picked and chose, he couldn't find a single one who was acceptable. They were all ugly and unsightly.
"I'm not going to talk about this with you. Anyway, it's up to An'an. If she's in a relationship, I'll definitely support her, as long as it doesn't affect her studies."
Yu Jiu is quite open-minded. Young people are just beginning to experience romantic feelings, and it's normal for them to fall in love early. As long as it doesn't affect their studies or they don't do anything excessive, it's fine. Being too strict will backfire.
Xu Zijiang nearly had a heart attack after hearing Yu Jiu's words. The thought of his precious daughter being so young and possibly being kidnapped by some brat made him furious. He was determined that no brat was allowed near their An'an!
The debate about this issue was truly unsolvable, so Yu Jiu stopped talking to him and pretended that they had never discussed it. After all, An An might not necessarily fall in love early.
After skating until they were tired, they ate out and prepared to go back. However, Xu Zijiang told Gouzi and Zhang Yan to take the two children back with them, and that they would not go back themselves.
"You can sleep at home tonight or at your Uncle Gouzi's place, but you can't go out to play. We won't be going back tonight, and you can have dinner at Uncle Gouzi's and Aunt Zhang Yan's place."
Xu Zijiang gave instructions to the two children, but he couldn't resist taking Yu Jiu away. This guy had even learned to act first and ask for permission later. Yu Jiu rolled her eyes at him, but still didn't say anything to object.
"Oh, you're going to play, right? Okay, then we'll take these two kids with us. Don't worry."
The dog nodded with a mischievous grin. He understood Xu Zijiang's feelings perfectly. An'an and Yuanyuan, on the other hand, were a bit clingy.
"Mom and Dad, where are you going again? Can't you take us with you? We want to go too!"
"Exactly! Why did you sneak out to play again? It wouldn't have bothered you if you had taken us with you!"
That's too much of a nuisance," Xu Zi coldly pinched Yuan Yuan's neck.
"I'll bring you some delicious food when I get back, okay? An'an and your brother, go home now. I'll take you out to play together next time, okay?"
An'an is quite sensible. Since her father made it clear that he didn't want to take them with him, she had no choice but to agree.
"It's a promise, you have to bring us delicious food when you come back!"
"No problem, I promise to bring you gifts when I come back. Go back now."
Xu Zijiang almost couldn't wait to send the two children away. Only after watching Zhang Yan and Gouzi take them home did Xu Zijiang breathe a sigh of relief, hugging Yu Jiu tightly and refusing to let go.
"Come on, I'll take you to a great place!"
Xu Zijiang immediately went to get the car.
"Where is it? Why are you in such a hurry? We can't even go tomorrow."
"It's a really nice place, and it's even more romantic at night."
Xu Zijiang is very particular about romance and often plays around with Yu Jiu in various locations. It would be strange if their relationship wasn't good.
Yu Jiu knew he was up to something again, but instead of scolding him, she was actually looking forward to it. Xu Zijiang always managed to easily stir up her emotions, and she quite liked his behavior.
"How long will it take to get there? I'm going to take a nap first. Wake me up when we get there."
Yu Jiu felt a little sleepy after finishing her meal, so she closed her eyes to go to sleep.
"It'll take about half an hour to drive there. You should go to sleep first."
Xu Zijiang had already calculated the time.
Yu Jiu could sleep soundly in the car, but she would wake up as soon as the car stopped.
"Have we arrived?"
"right."
Yu Jiu got out of the car and saw that they had arrived at a hotel, a hot spring hotel.
"A hotel with hot springs?"
"Yes, it can also provide massages. I'll give you a massage tonight!"
Xu Zi, with a smug grin, put his arm around Yu Jiu and led her into the hotel...
