Dad Academy

Hu Jiehao sat on a small stool with his feet in the air and his body upright, silently looking at his father who was on the phone by the window.

"You promised, how could you change your mind at the last minute? I'm going to have an operation tomorrow. Where can I borrow money?"

"We have known each other for so many years, and you still can't trust me?"

"Your wife doesn't agree? I'll pay you back at the end of this year, okay? I'm the first one to pay you back, okay? Now you're only 20,000 short of it! I beg you."

…

Hu Jiehao's little face was full of confusion. He couldn't understand what his father was saying on the phone, but he could feel that his father was very angry. Gradually, the phone call turned into a quarrel.

He subconsciously put his feet together and folded his hands in front of him, shrinking himself and reducing his sense of presence.

It's morning now, and the sun is very bright. It shines in through the window and shines on Dad who is on the phone. The reflection spreads on the ground and extends to his feet.

Hu Jiehao curiously looked at the reflection that was magnified many times, looking for where his father's head was and where his father's mouth was...

He was immersed in his childishness, but as his father's voice became louder and louder, he could no longer enjoy himself alone. He put his hands in his ears and refused to listen to his father's curse words. His father was dangling in front of his eyes. The sun was shining brightly, dazzling his eyes, so he closed his eyes.

Not listening or watching was the only thing he could do.

Boom~~~

Suddenly there was a loud noise, which startled him, and his father kicked the cabinet.

He was too scared to move or speak.

Hu Mingkai then remembered him and asked him to play in the corridor.

Hu Jiehao looked at him fearfully. Hu Mingkai slowed down his tone and asked him softly to go play in the corridor.

"Dad will make you lunch after he calls."

Hu Jiehao stood up, avoided the reflection of his father at his feet, stepped on the open space, hugged his goldfish tank, came to the corridor, squatted at the foot of the wall where the sun was shining, looking down at the little goldfish in a daze.

The two little goldfish were swimming freely in the water, but the one with a tail like a butterfly lay motionless at the bottom of the fish tank for several days.

I don't know how long it took, but his father still didn't call him in, but suddenly there was a sound from the other end of the corridor, and Hu Jiehao saw Xiaobai's aunt.

Xiaobai's aunt had washed the clothes and was drying them. One of the sheets was too heavy and too long, and it was very difficult to twist it.

Hu Jiehao put down the goldfish bowl and ran over. He took the initiative to help her grab one end of the sheet and let Malanhua wring out the water.

"Thank you, you are so smart." Malanhua said with a smile.

A smile appeared on Hu Jiehao's gloomy face, and he bared his teeth at her.

At home, he helped his mother twist the sheets. Just like now, he only needs to grab one end and hold it tightly, like a man. His mother said that she can get his power and become infinitely powerful and not afraid of anything. .

Malanhua hung the sheets on the clothes rack and faced the warm sunshine, casting a shadow over the child Hu Jiehao.

He raised his little face and looked at the sheets shining in the sun in a daze. Mom used to point at the sheets and laugh at him, saying that he drew a map of the dog park on it last night, so let’s take him to the dog park today.

Then his mother got sick and couldn't take him to the dog park, and he never wet the bed again.

He tried hard to grab her hand, trying to give her his strength, but the magic didn't work, and instead of getting better, his mother became weaker.

"Baby, what are you thinking about?" Malanhua asked.

Hu Jiehao smiled at her without saying a word.

"Are you so silent? You talk so little, unlike my little white guy who keeps talking nonsense all day long."

"Xiaobai~" Hu Jiehao whispered.

Malanhua: "Xiaobai is not at home. She has gone to school. Why don't you go to school? Have you had lunch?"

Knowing that he hadn't eaten, Malanhua called him to join her, and without saying a word, she enthusiastically took him into the house.

Zhang Tan had lunch at the set at noon. Because he had something to do, he rushed back to the company. When he was taking the elevator, he met a young man by chance.

"Teacher Zhang?"

Zhang Tan nodded to him and said, "Hello."

I can't remember who this is, so I probably don't recognize him.

"It's really Teacher Zhang. My name is Yao Quan. I'm an actor. I'm here today to audition for "The Last Strike"."

"Oh, which character?"

"Strike Back" is Cao Wen's TV series, which beat "Insidious" to get the project approved.

The young man introduced himself enthusiastically, but unfortunately the elevator arrived soon and he had to leave first.

Zhang Tan came to the office and saw Liu Dawen watching animation at his workstation, and asked him if there were any actor auditions today. It's lunch break and recreational companies are allowed.

"As for Cao Wen's drama, I heard that Chen Yi came here in the morning, and someone took a photo with her and signed an autograph."

"Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

Liu Dawen was flattered. This was the first time he received an invitation from Zhang Tan. Of course he agreed. He usually had nothing to do at night and would go home after work. He was a fat man.

Zhang Tan brought more surprises.

"Do you want to call Zhu Huanhuan?"

"Ahh~"

"No, do you want it? You decide."

"You, what do you want to do?"

"You often clean up for me, and I'll treat you to a meal as a thank you. That's okay."

"I want it~"

After the appointment, Liu Dawen quickly dug out a bottle of cologne from his bag, then turned on the computer video, switched to selfie mode, and looked at himself in the camera. His skin was very good, white and rosy, and delicate, but his hair was too long. Doing the math, he hadn't had a haircut in more than a month. He left in a hurry and came back with a handsome haircut while there was still half an hour before work in the afternoon.

It was inevitable to drink some wine during the dinner, so Zhang Tan called Hu Mingkai and asked if he was nearby and if it was convenient, he could drive for him.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Hu Mingkai's voice was low. He was not nearby. He had no work tonight and was in the hospital.

Only then did Zhang Tan learn that his wife was in hospital.

He found another driver and returned to Little Red Horse. Lao Li was making tea and listening to the radio in the yard, and invited him to sit down and drink some tea with him.

"There have been a lot more children in Little Red Horse recently." Lao Li said. Another mother and son came in the door. He nodded to each other, but Zhang Tan didn't recognize them. Obviously, they were new here.

"He came last night. His mother works in a bar down the street."

Zhang Tan remembered that when he signed, he had read the information filled in by the other party and it seemed that there was such a person.

Zhang Tan took a sip of tea and his attention was instantly attracted to the tea in the cup, "Why does your tea taste wrong?"

He looked at his tea cup, pinched a piece of tea soaked in it, and said, "It's not brewed yet."

Lao Li said in confusion: "You think so too? I feel like something is wrong."

Suddenly Zhang Tan said: "No, why doesn't this look like tea?"

"What is it if it's not tea? This is good tea." Lao Li said.

Zhang Tan handed him the small leaf and said, "See for yourself, it looks like a mulberry leaf."

"??"

Lao Li suddenly stood up, looked around the yard, and saw no one. He said angrily: "It must be Liliu! I gave her a bean paste cake and asked her to look at the teapot for me for a while!"

Zhang Tan was speechless, spitting out a piece of mulberry leaf in his mouth.

Lao Li blocked Luoliu in the corner of the classroom. Liuliu clung to the wall, her little hands behind her back, and there was no way to escape.

"It's not me, it's not Liuliuya~~~"

Luliu fought hard and easily confessed her accomplice.

"It's Xiaobai~~Xiaobai said that Li Weibao is like a silkworm baby. He eats leaves. I'll add some leaves for you and make you drink gurgling~~ It's a little white duck. It has nothing to do with pomegranates."

"Didn't I ask you to look after the teapot for me?"

"I can't beat the little white duck~~~嘤嘤嘤~~"

Xi'er came to help her friends and said that Liliu was only 3 years old today and she was still a baby. Liuliu nodded quickly, she was still a little baby.

As she said that, she caught a glimpse of the unsuspecting Xiaobai walking towards her. She was afraid of being beaten later, so she quickly shouted: "Xiaobai, run away~~~~Li Weibao can't afford to play duck——"
