Chapter 223 Dad is too ugly
There was a little girl sitting next to Xiao Peng in the car, and she looked a little nervous when she saw Xiao Peng.
So Xiao Peng teased her, "Tingting, when I saw you last time, you were still naive and called me uncle."
This little girl is called Liu Tingting. She is Liu Baorong’s daughter and she just started the second grade of elementary school this year.
Liu Baorong's wife, Han Xue, was also in the car. She was also Xiao Peng's high school classmate. She and Liu Baorong had been together since high school, shamelessly dating. Neither of them went to college, and they married and had children early. She was the eldest of Xiao Peng's classmates. But now, it seemed, they were doing well.
Liu Tingting called out sweetly, "Uncle!"
Xiao Peng patted Liu Tingting's head and said, "You're so good!" Then he took out a box from his bag and handed it to Liu Tingting, "This is a gift for you."
Liu Tingting was indeed very well behaved. She thanked Xiao Peng first before taking the box with both hands.
Han Xue asked, "What is it?"
"An iPad." Xiao Peng said, "It's for the child to play with."
After hearing this, Han Xue quickly said, "This is too expensive!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. The children can have fun and learn something at the same time."
Liu Baorong, who was driving in front, curled his lips and said, "I believe she can have fun, but I really don't believe she can learn anything! I was teaching her English the other day, and after five minutes my hands were shaking with anger!"
Xiao Peng teased, "You? Teaching children English? I'll save your face by guarding the children! I won't tell you about your embarrassing story!"
Liu Baorong sighed, "Don't mention it. I feel more exhausted with my child going to school now than with us. My wife and I are essentially relearning everything we learned in school! I don't know if you know this, but a few days ago the government negotiated prices with pharmaceutical companies. A heart stent used to cost 13,000 yuan, but now it only costs 700!"
"What does this have to do with how you teach your children?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.
Liu Baorong said, "This shows that the country has really done everything it can to support family education. Now I'm not afraid of having a heart attack! Teaching children is truly harder than when we were in school ourselves! The other day, my wife was helping Tingting with her homework at home, but she got so angry that she started yelling at me. I was furious. What if she ended up being stupid by scolding her like that? So I scolded her and said I would help Tingting."
Xiao Peng nodded. "Alright, buddy. You act like a father now. You need to be patient when educating a child. Han Xue, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this is just a child after all. Don't get so excited. Educating a child requires gradual progress. Rongrong, I support you!"
Han Xue smiled but said nothing. Liu Baorong sighed, "Five minutes!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was confused. "What do you mean five minutes?"
Liu Baorong said, "After helping Tingting with her homework for five minutes, I ran straight to the door to smoke. I'm not exaggerating at all. My hand holding the cigarette was shaking with anger."
Xiao Peng: “…”
Take back the words I just praised you for!
Liu Baorong sighed and said, "'You don't know the kindness of your parents until you have children'. Now that I have children, I understand how difficult it was to be a parent! Who doesn't want their children to be successful in the future? Which parent doesn't want their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes? Before I became a parent, I thought my father controlled me so that I could realize the dreams that they themselves had not realized. At that time, I told myself
: When I become a father, I will never let my children experience the same childhood as I did. But only after I became a father did I realize... Oh, it seems my parents should have been stricter with me back then.
Xiao Peng laughed: "I think you should say this to your parents instead of me!"
"Tell them?" Liu Baorong's eyes widened. "Grandparents are so close to each other! I'm here with Tingting, and her grandparents don't dare to speak loudly to her. I can't control the child, or else her grandparents will really scold me! I don't understand, how can they be so kind to Tingting when they were so cruel to me back then? It feels like we're not even the same person!"
"Is it because you are too ugly?" Xiao Peng teased.
Liu Baorong curled his lips and said, "I'm ugly? My wife was conquered by my beauty!"
Xiao Peng tilted his head and looked at Han Xue: "Han Xue, you really don't want to beat him?"
Han Xue shrugged and said, "You've known him for a long time, and how thick is his skin? Even if you prick him with an awl in the spring, it won't bleed in the fall!"
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Tingting who was playing with her iPad. He said, "Tingting, tell me, do you look like your dad or your mom?"
After hearing this, Liu Tingting answered without hesitation: "I look like my mother!"
"Why don't you look like your father?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.
Liu Tingting glanced at Liu Baorong and lowered her voice: "Dad is so ugly!"
The car was such a small space that even if she lowered her voice, everyone could still hear her. Xiao Peng and Han Xue burst into laughter together.
Xiao Peng suppressed his laughter and gave a thumbs-up: "Children's eyes are the purest!"
Liu Baorong had a dark face, but he also laughed.
Ask little girls, "Who do you look like?" Ninety-nine out of a hundred will say they look like their mother. In the eyes of children, their mother is the most beautiful person in the world.
Xiao Peng said to Liu Baorong, "Rongrong, cherish her. This is Tingting's cutest moment. You'll find more troubles when she grows up! If she grows up to be blind like Han Xue and gets cheated by some scoundrel, you'll be furious!"
Han Xue was already laughing, and after hearing what Xiao Peng said, she laughed even more happily, nodding as she laughed: "That's right!"
Liu Baorong blinked. "Dude, I see it's different when you're abroad! He's so roundabout and flattering without leaving any trace! Master!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "So you have to run to thank me!"
Liu Baorong asked in confusion, "Thank you? What should I thank you for?"
"Thank you for not having any bad thoughts about your wife!" Xiao Peng said.
After hearing this, Liu Baorong slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, I beg you, please stop thinking of anything bad! I can only support one woman, I really can't afford to support two!"
Xiao Peng nodded. "You've obviously given birth to a daughter, but you're still acting like you're Ximen Qing. You've got your way! Han Xue, why don't you beat me up? I'm not trying to sow discord, but if I were a woman and my husband dared to say that to me, I'd beat him so hard he couldn't take care of himself! Take him home and make him kneel on a durian!"
Han Xue said leisurely, "What durian are you kneeling on? Kneel on the keyboard. Make him type 'I AM SORRY' with his knees. If he can't, he won't be allowed to get up!"
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and gave a thumbs-up: "Master, master, master!"
"Wife, are you planning to murder your husband?" Liu Baorong was about to continue talking while driving when he suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Pengpeng, you're so generous! Look, Lao Wu is welcoming guests over there!"
Xiao Peng looked in the direction of the finger and exclaimed, "Holy crap, that's Lao Wu? Why is he so fat now?"
