The two of them were walking and talking when Tian Xiaolan suddenly asked, "Brother, does Dad usually come home late?"
"It's not too late. He waited until no one in the school locked the door and then came back."
Isn't it too late? He hasn't come back yet for dinner, so he'll just eat cold rice.
Tian Xiaolan suddenly stopped and said, "You go back first, I'll go call Dad home."
"All right."
Li Weimin walked back first.
When Tian Xiaolan arrived at school, class was over. She went in to look for Li Weiguo, but didn't see him in the office, so she went outside to look for him.
I went to the playground outside the house and found him sweeping the leaves on the ground with a broom. There was already a pile of leaves.
Tian Xiaolan walked over and asked, "Dad, why don't you go home?"
When Li Weimin saw her, he stopped brooming and said, "Why are you here? I'll go back after I finish sweeping this floor."
Tian Xiaolan: "I'm here to call you back for dinner. It's ready."
Li Weiguo's hands were still moving when he heard Tian Xiaolan's words. He said to her: "Right away, I'll finish sweeping in a few strokes. Please sit for a while."
Tian Xiaolan saw that the leaves were swept away and fell again in the wind. The fiery red sunset and the blue sky beside the field reflected each other. It looked like it was getting dark soon.
She went to the classroom to find a broom and swept the floor with him. It didn't take long before they finished sweeping. After he finished cleaning up, she set off on her way home.
As they walked side by side, Li Weiguo spoke first: "Xiaolan, even if you don't like coming to school, you still need to read some books to improve yourself. It can broaden your horizons and be useful for your business."
Faced with his earnest teachings, Tian Xiaolan also listened to it and nodded: "Dad, I bought some books in town. I will read them when I am not busy. Don't worry, I will not fall behind."
Seeing her self-awareness, Li Weiguo smiled and said, "You have this idea, and no amount of money can replace it."
"Hahaha, I learned all this from you guys."
The two of them talked as they walked and arrived home before dark.
As soon as Li Weiguo got home, he put down the book in his hand and went to get some water to wash his hands.
Fang Guihua brought out the dishes and said, "I originally wanted these two children to eat first, but they insisted on waiting for you to come back. You are already grown-ups, why do you need your children to wake you up after get off work?"
"I was a little late because of something. Next time I will definitely come back earlier and won't keep you waiting." Li Weiguo smiled and took the big rice bucket from her hand.
The rice bucket was still hot after such a long time, so Li Weiguo wrapped the edge with a handkerchief, grabbed the handle and took it away quickly before the temperature could pass through.
The table was not big, and if the wooden barrel was placed on it, there would be no room for dishes and chopsticks. Xing Yifei donated his seat at the right time to let the barrel be placed on it.
When all the dishes were served, there was one less wooden stool, which was used to hold the rice bucket. Fang Guihua brought her own stool behind Xing Yifei and said to him, "Son, you must be hungry. Come sit down and eat."
Xing Yifei stood there and refused mercilessly: "No, I like to eat standing up."
Fang Guihua didn't believe this. Seeing that he insisted on standing, Li Weiguo said without hesitation: "Mom, just sit down! Maybe he will enjoy his meal standing up."
Tian Xiaolan saw what he meant. He probably didn't want to make things difficult for Fang Guihua. However, if he didn't sit down, Fang Guihua probably wouldn't be able to sit down either. Tian Xiaolan stood up and put the wooden barrel on the ground, so she had a stool to sit on.
