TGLC Chapter 36.1

“Okay, silly dad.” Duan Zihui nodded, smiled indulgently, looked at the room’s furnishings, and then called his assistant.

The place wasn’t very far, so his assistant delivered his clothes and computer in no time.

Duan Zihui went back to check on Xie Qingyu a few times; thankfully, her fever hadn’t returned.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Zhang took care of everything, including bathing the children.

He didn’t interfere much, after all, Zhuzhu was already over four years old.

However, he still had to get involved a little in the little girl’s studies.

After all, Xie Qingyu had already asked him to take responsibility, so naturally, he would be responsible to the end.

While the little girl was playing with her toys, he took a book over and asked Zhuzhu, “Do you want Daddy to read you a story?”

Little Zhuzhu loves listening to stories.

Occasionally, when she’s naughty, her mother will tell her a story to coax her. Other times, her mother lets her chat with her own smart robot or has Aunt He tell her a story.

Zhuzhu immediately sat obediently next to her father, snatched the book from his hand, flipped to the page she wanted to read, and said, “Daddy, tell me this story.”

Actually, she had heard this story in the book many times. Although her mother didn’t tell it often, Aunt He would, but the little one never tired of it.

When her father was about to tell her a story, she sat very well-behaved beside him, her dark eyes as beautiful as jewels, looking like a well-behaved little fox. She waited patiently for her father to tell her a good story, her little hands resting on her knees, looking so sweet and well-behaved.

The little girl’s hair was flying up in a little tuft, making her look lively and playful.

“Covering one’s ears while stealing a bell.”

Duan Zihui began to tell her the story of ‘covering one’s ears while stealing a bell’.

When they got to the part about the thief being caught, Little Zhuzhu started to voice her opinion: “That thief was such a fool! He thought that covering his ears would prevent others from hearing him stealing. I’m only four years old, and I know that just covering your own ears doesn’t work.”

Duan Zihui smiled and asked her, “Want to tell the next one?”

Zhuzhu immediately snatched the book and started turning to the next page: “Yes, Daddy, please continue telling me the story.”

Duan Zihui didn’t rush to explain it to her, but instead asked, “How many English words do you know?”

After thinking for a moment, Zhuzhu started counting the English words she knew on her fingers.

“I know apples, bananas, pandas…” The little girl counted the English words she knew to her father.

At least a dozen or twenty, although her pronunciation wasn’t entirely standard.

Duan Zihui suddenly realized that her daughter was actually quite smart.

He praised her: “Not bad, you know quite a lot. Did your mother teach you?”

“Mom doesn’t have time to teach me these things. She’d rather watch TV dramas than teach me. I learned this in kindergarten, and many of my classmates know more than I do.” Zhuzhu said, sounding a little frustrated.

Duan Zihui: “…”

So, the kindergarten kids know more than Zhuzhu?

Was it too early for him to be too happy just now?

Duan Zihui recalled his past. When he was four years old, he often went abroad to play and could already communicate in a lot of English.

“…” It seemed like Zhuzhu didn’t know much.

Duan Zihui cleared his throat and comforted his daughter, “It’s okay, Daddy will teach you later. You’ll definitely know more than them.”

“Okay, Daddy, can you continue telling me the story now?”

Actually, Zhuzhu was only slightly annoyed. She wasn’t very interested in English; she preferred listening to stories.
