Three years later.
"Dad, Dad."
In the Zhao family courtyard, a pink and tender little ball ran towards the house with its short legs, holding a piece of red summer melon high in its hand, and shouting in a baby voice as it ran.
Before Xiaotuanzi could alarm the people in the house, Yang Donghu covered his mouth and carried him and the melon into the kitchen.
"You little rascal, you're complaining again, just because I didn't give you candy? I've loved you so much in vain."
As Yang Donghu spoke, he snatched the melon from Xiaotuanzi's hand, took a big bite, and used one hand to pat Xiaotuanzi's butt twice.
He hit people without feeling any pain. Little Taole was not afraid at all, and even had a smile on her face: "Daddy told me to watch over little daddy. If he was caught stealing food, he would buy me some glutinous rice balls."
Yang Donghu pinched Xiao Taole's fair and tender cheeks and said viciously, "A bowl of glutinous rice balls bribed you? Then why don't you remember the delicious food I made for you? You still dare to complain? I won't let you eat it next time."
Little Taole was smart. He would choose a bowl of glutinous rice balls over the delicious snacks that were served every now and then. Seeing that he had upset his little daddy, he quickly gave Yang Donghu a big kiss on the face: "Well, then I won't tell Daddy. Little Daddy's snacks are delicious. Lele wants to eat them."
"You want to eat?" Yang Donghu said with a wicked smile: "I want to eat, fine. But what are you going to say if your father asks?"
"Well," Xiao Taole tilted her head and blinked her big eyes, "Just say that Daddy didn't eat anything. He took his medicine on time and didn't eat anything cold."
Yang Donghu happily took another big bite of summer melon, squinting his eyes in satisfaction as he rubbed Taole's head. "That's right, dear. This is our little secret. Don't tell your father. Do you understand?"
Little Taole nodded solemnly, put his short fingers to his lips and hushed like an adult: "We know, but we don't want Dad to know. We have to speak quietly so Dad doesn't hear."
"Yes, you're so good. I'll give you a bite."
"That's really not what you two want. I've heard it."
Zhao Luochuan, with a cold expression, took in the two people's conspiracy through the crack in the window. He chuckled dryly, "Well, now you two are in the same boat, Donghu! You're still eating."
The moment Yang Donghu spoke, he realized something was wrong. He ate the whole melon in his hand in a few gulps. He ignored Zhao Luochuan's roar behind him and ran away with Taole in his arms.
Unfortunately, he thought too highly of himself. He had only taken two steps when Zhao Luochuan pulled him back with a wave of his hand.
"You're becoming more and more disobedient. I have to teach you a lesson," he said, putting Taole down from Yang Donghu's arms. "Go, Lele, go play with your Grandma Cuilan. Daddy and Little Daddy have things to do."
"Wow, I don't want it, Zhao Luochuan, it's daytime now, let go, ahhhhh, Taole, save me!"
Yang Donghu clung to Taole tightly, unwilling to let go. Zhao Luochuan forcibly separated the two, picked up his husband horizontally, and said with a sinister grin, "It's not up to you whether you want him or not. Have you forgotten what I told you last time? Taole, tell your grandmother Cuilan that there's no need to leave dinner for little daddy tonight. Daddy has important things to do."
Little Taole was really helpless, so he obediently listened to his father and went to find Grandma Cuilan, and told her every word his father had told him.
"Dad said he was going to teach Little Dad a lesson."
"Nonsense."
Zhu Cuilan suppressed her laughter and cursed Zhao Luochuan in her heart for being so disrespectful. She said all kinds of lessons in front of the child, and stuffed some fruits into Taole's hands and let him play in the yard.
Xiao Tao happily thanked Grandma Cuilan, took the red fruit and went to the house to find Yang Anjin, using the fruit given by others as a favor: "Auntie, I came to play with you."
Yang Anjin was doing embroidery in the house with a bulging belly. She was already eight months pregnant. When little Taole came in, she was well-behaved and remembered her daddy's advice not to run or jump in front of her aunt.
"Oh, our little Taole is here. Come quickly, I have some candies here." Yang Anjin pulled Taole into his arms with a smile.
Little Taole stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth. It was so sweet that she squinted her eyes, looking like a white and tender glutinous rice dumpling. "It's delicious, delicious. Lele gave you this fruit. Grandma Cuilan gave it to Lele. Lele will leave it all for you."
Yang Anjin exclaimed exaggeratedly after he had the fruit: "Oh my, our Lele is so generous! Are you going to give them all to me?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Taole's cheeks puffed up and he nodded heavily.
Zhao Fangchu crept up from behind little Taole. Yang Anjin was facing the door. Seeing Zhao Fangchu's movements, he said nothing. He appeared behind Taole silently and said, "Good little Taole, don't you love me the most? You won't leave any fruit for me?"
Little Taole was startled. She turned around and saw Zhao Fangchu. Before she could even swallow the food in her mouth, she opened her mouth and started coaxing him: "It's not that I don't want to keep it. Grandma said you have to be the most beautiful bride. You can't eat too much, otherwise you won't be beautiful. After you finish being a bride, Lele will buy you more."
Zhao Fangchu pinched his face and twisted his nose: "You are the only one who knows how to coax me. You buy it for me, but where do you get the money?"
"Yes, Lele has some," Taole patted her round waist. "Little Daddy made a purse for Lele. There's a lot of money in it. It was all given by Daddy."
"Really? Then I can eat whatever I want?"
"Really, Lele keeps his word."
"Then I want to eat mutton dumplings."
The mutton dumplings are a bit expensive, more expensive than the snacks sold by the little daddy. Tao Le frowned, thinking for a while and then kept silent.
