âUncle Michael, you can sit here.â Tutu moved to the side.
âI was just joking. You guys eat.â Michael returned to the group of parents.
Qi Ming had become familiar with everyone in just a day. Now, he was getting along well with the fathers. He talked with Su Wei and the others.
âMr. Qi, are you considering holding a concert this year?â Su Wei asked.
âThis year, the focus is on family. Yueyue is going to participate in the Asian State Track and Field Competition in the second half of the year. Itâs held once every two years. I want to be there for her. Xueâer is busy,â Qi Ming said.
âI also want to spend more time with Tutu. I feel that he has grown up in these two episodes.â Su Wei was deep in thought. Before going on the show, he had always felt that his son was willful and disobedient. He had been spoiled by his grandmother. After going on the show, Su Wei realized that his son was actually alright.
Qi Ming patted Su Wei on the shoulder. âYes, the children grow up very quickly. One day, they will realize that they donât need us anymore. We should spend more time with them now when we can.â
âI already feel that Wheatley doesnât talk much to me. She likes to be alone in the study room after school, but she tells Nannan everything.â Michael joined the group of people sharing their experience in parenting.
Xiao Tianlin was pleased with himself. âXiao Yi used to tell me everything when he was in college.â
âA son and a father have something in common, right? My daughter is older now, and there are many things that she canât tell her father.â Michael sighed. âIn the past, she always clung to me. But itâs good that she can tell Nannan everything. At least, it means that she treats Nannan as her family now.â âYueyue also talks with her mom more than me. After all, sheâs already grown up.â
[Is there a father in the comments? Iâm not alone, am I? My daughter clung to me when she was young. After she went to junior high, she didnât share things with me as much as before. Now that sheâs married, she doesnât call me so frequently. She asks how I am. She doesnât talk to me much.]
[Wow, there are male fans here!]
[Yes, but not many.]
[Iâm also a father. Can I admit that Iâm watching this show because I miss my children? After my children got married, they moved to the city to settle down.
Now, Iâm alone at home.]
[Iâm watching it at a nursing home. I have no children. When I was young, I thought it was cool to remain single. If I had seen such a live broadcast earlier, I would have considered getting married and having children.]
[Having a son and a daughter was quite tough when I was young. Now that I
have them by my side, my mission is to take care of my grandson. Iâm very happy and content.] [@Previous Poster, Iâm envious of you.] âThe food is here!â
âEveryone, please sit down,â Qi Ming said.
The big pot of rice was very aromatic.
When Tao Jingyuan asked Feifei if he wanted her by his side while eating, he shook his head. âNo need. I can eat with the others. Mom, you go over there.â
âAuntie Tao, Iâll take care of Feifei.â Li Zekai looked up.
âYes, Auntie Tao. We can take care of him.â Everyone chimed in.
âAlright.â Tao Jingyuan moved to another table.
[Everyone is so kind.]
[Yeah, Jiejie took the lead. He is a kind little man.]
[When you grow up, youâll definitely be a boyfriend like Da Bai.]
[Youâre thinking too far ahead, but I admit, Jiejie is so considerate.]
The parents sat together and talked as they ate. It was another day without having to cook.
The children ate and talked among themselves.
âSister Qi Yue, why are you running so fast?â Tutu asked.
âIâm exercising. My dad said that I could run as soon as I could walk.â
âSister Qi Yue, my older brother runs fast too. He said he used to be an athlete.â Li Zekai nudged Li Zexuan.
âThatâs not true. I canât compare to Qi Yue,â Li Zexuan said modestly.
âBrother Xuanxuan, youâre so humble.â
âI also want to run fast, but I always fall when I run too fast.â Feifei lowered his head.
âFeifei, youâre still young. Youâll be able to run fast when youâre in elementary school,â said Qi Yue in reassurance.
âReally?â
âYes.â
âXuanxuan, many people in my class like you,â said Qi Yue.
âDo your classmates also chase after celebrities?â Li Zekai asked. âArenât your classmates all stars in sports?â classmates all stars In sportsââ
âNot all of them, but we all like the kids on this show.â Qi Yue included everyone.
âDo your classmates watch us too?â Wheatley asked.
âThey do. During school breaks,â Qi Yue said.
âWow, so many talented people watch us! We have to perform well.â
[You donât need to force it. Just be yourselves.] [Yeah, just be like how you usually are, Wheatley.]
[Only three days left⦠I canât bear it.]
[Why bring up this sad topic again? Letâs enjoy the live broadcast.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They didnât know how many more similar gatherings there would be, and the parents cherished them. They raised their teacups instead of wine glasses for a toast.
Then, they exchanged WeChat contacts.
Xia MO and Tao Jingyuan were excited. They never dreamed of having Bai Xueâs private contact.
The two of them pinned Bai Xueâs chat at the top.
Lunch was simple. In the casserole, there was fragrant rice. It was topped with vegetables, shredded meat, and shrimp. When the lid was lifted, steam and delicious aroma filled the air.
An hour later, the staff collected the empty plates and announced that they could do whatever they liked, but they were asked to gather at Feifeiâs house at 3 p.m.
Some guests tried to ask about the mission in detail, but the staff remained tight-lipped. They only said that they would all find out when the time came.
Tao Jingyuan was puzzled, âGather at my home? Are we going to play with clay again? Didnât we do that already?â
The staff just smiled without saying a word.
âLawyer Tao, donât ask. You wonât get anything out of them.â Nannan pulled Tao Jingyuanâs sleeve.
âAlright, do we have any plans later? If not, do you want to play âThrowing Eggs ?
[Card game? Lawyer Tao plays card games too?]
[The card game she is suggesting requires four players, right? But there are five mothers.]
[One can be a substitute. They can form teams.]
âSure.â All the women nodded.
[Itâs surprising that everyone knows how to play âThrowing Eggs.â Is it that famous?]
[Even celebrities are people.]
[Yes, celebrities can also play common card games.]
âDoes anyone not know how to play?â
âIâm not very good at it.â Nannan usually watched dramas or read novels after work and hadnât played card games much.
âThen, you can be on my team.â Tao Jingyuan volunteered to team up with
Nannan.
âOkay.â
âIâm not very good either.â
âLetâs discuss. Which four will play first? Weâll learn as we play. Itâs quite simple,â Tao Jingyuan said.
In the end, Lin Wan volunteered to be a substitute.
âThrowing Eggsâ¦â Lin Wan was quite skilled at it.
Tao Jingyuan brought out two decks of cards.
The dads were itching to play something too, so they decided to play Mahjong.
The kids played around the village.
The older kids, led by Xiao Yi, went to the basketball court.
Qi Yue and Wheatley started making small hairpins, while Tutu and the others played hide and seek at the Li house.
[This is great. Bai Xueâs house has turned into a game room with two tables.]
[Isnât it good? Do you want them to sit in front of the screen and read comments all day?]
