Daddy Academy

Chapter 1040 Father's Responsibilities

Zhang Tan found Xiaobai who was reading a picture book in the reading corner. The light was yellow, lighting up a corner, warm and bright.

After being caught by Zhang Tan to take a shower and change clothes, Xiao Bai sat obediently in the corner reading a book. Before, Xiaomi and Cheng Cheng were sitting with her, but after the two were picked up, they were replaced by Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zheng. Yoyo, and then the two little ones were also picked up, and now they have turned into a little boy with yellow hair.

The two little ones were sitting cross-legged on the bench, Xiaobai was holding a picture book and was reciting softly, Xiaonian was listening intently with his arms around his knees.

When Zhang Tan approached, he heard that Xiaobai was speaking Mandarin. Although he occasionally popped up a few Trumps, he had changed a lot on the whole. He was no longer talking about Trumps like before. don't know.

However, Xiaobai can't understand the whole picture book, and many characters still rely on guessing, and the cuteness passes the test.

She can read the whole book of "The Hungry Shuo Er Er", after all, she has already figured out this picture book, and she will not be able to master other picture books for a while, even if Zhang Tan has read it to her.

Seeing Zhang Tan approaching, Xiaobai and Xiaonian raised their heads at the same time, Xiaonian was timid, and wanted to leave when he got up, but was pulled by Xiaobai, and squeezed closer to Xiaobai, lowered his head, not much Dare to see Zhang Tan.

"I don't want to go to sleep yet." Xiao Bai said, "Xiao Nian's grandfather hasn't come yet, so I want to accompany her."

Zhang Tan looked at Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian lowered his head, as if he felt the gaze, his immature face turned red.

Zhang Tan said, "Don't Xiaonian go to bed?"

Xiao Nian made a mosquito-like noise and murmured a few words, but he couldn't hear clearly. Xiao Bai said that Xiao Nian didn't want to sleep, and she had to wait for Grandpa.

Xiao Bai was afraid that Zhang Tan would insist on calling her back, and yelled that she didn't want to sleep at all, she just wanted to play.

Zhang Tan said: "Okay, then let's accompany Xiaonian to wait for Grandpa, and give me a seat."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to squeeze between Xiaobai and Xiaonian to sit down, but Xiaobai pushed him away: "Get away, get away, don't touch us."

Zhang Tan could only sit down beside her, and Xiao Bai immediately handed him the picture book and asked him to read it to them.

Zhang Tan turned to the cover and saw the title of the picture book: "Who is on my head? What does it mean?"

Xiaobai laughed and said it was papa.

Zhang Tan: "..."

Holding the picture book in his hand, he roughly flipped through it. Seeing the two little eyes staring at him eagerly, he began to read aloud in a low voice.

The night was quiet, and the rain kept falling outside. Teacher Xiao Liu came down from the second floor to take a look, and went back when he saw it. After Zhang Tan finished reading "Who is on my head?", he took Xiao Bai and took it from the bookshelf. The three picture books that came, when I read the second one, there were footsteps outside the classroom, and a man in a raincoat appeared at the door, his face could not be seen clearly due to the backlight, as if he was enveloped in a mass of night, and his feet were dripping.

He stood at the door, not intending to come in.

Xiao Nian got up abruptly, called out to Grandpa cheerfully, and ran out.

Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai followed closely behind. Seeing the person at the door take off his rain hat, revealing his gray hair and old face, he smiled flatteringly at Zhang Tan and said, "I am Xiaonian's grandfather, I'm here He picked her up and immediately apologized to Zhang Tan for being late tonight.

The reason for being late was that I didn't bring an umbrella and raincoat with me on rainy days, and I was reluctant to buy them, so I hurried home to pick them up, which wasted a lot of time.

"It's okay, safety first. In the future, Xiaonian can rest in the academy. It's not a big problem if it's later or earlier." Zhang Tan said.

Xiao Nian said goodbye to Xiao Bai and Zhang Tan, and exaggerated Zhang Tan shyly, saying that the story he told was really nice.

Her grandfather stuffed her into the raincoat he was wearing, hugged her to his chest, put on the rain hat, said goodbye to Zhang Tan, stepped heavily into the night, and broke the rain curtain.

The rain washed them, they turned around, waved again to Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai who were standing in the corridor watching, and disappeared into the rainy night.

It wasn't until they were no longer visible that Zhang Tan lowered his head and said to Xiao Bai, "Okay, Xiao Nian is gone too, let's go back, you're going to sleep."

Xiaobai nodded, and took his hand home silently. When going up the stairs, Zhang sighed and said, "Do you want me to hug you?"

Xiaobai was stunned, hesitated for a moment, said that climbing stairs is her strong point, and ran up with a whoosh.Zhang Tan only saw her at the stairs on the third floor, sitting on the steps, looking at him and smiling.

Zhang Tan always felt that she wanted to tell him something, but Xiao Bai had no intention of saying it. When he got home, he made a small bed for Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bai came in, holding the long-lost glass bottle of fish maw in his hand. .

Seeing this fish maw glass bottle, Zhang Tan felt a long-lost familiarity, "Why are you going to sleep holding the glass bottle?"

Xiaobai laughed, climbed onto the small bed with the glass bottle in his arms, sat on the head of the bed and said that she would sleep like this tonight.

"Yes, but you have to be careful not to drop it on the ground, or it will break." Zhang Tan said, spread out a light blue towel to cover Xiaobai's stomach, walked to the window, looked outside, and there was a cloud of rain He repeatedly confirmed that the windows were closed tightly, and when he drew the curtains, the starry sky on the curtains suddenly unfolded, presenting a world of starlight in the room.

Xiao Bai hugged the glass bottle of fish maw on his belly, followed Zhang Tan with his big eyes, stared at him sitting beside the bed, and asked, "Do you want to tell Xiao Bai a story?"

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Do you still want to hear a story today? Tell me, what story do you want to hear?"

"I want to listen to the rabbit's mother, and mother's is also fine." Xiaobai said.

Zhang Tan searched his mind, but there was no story about his mother, so he could only find a picture book on the small bookshelf in Xiaobai's room, and then told her about it.

It was late at night, and the patter of the rain became clearer and clearer. In the room, under the dim light, Xiaobai had closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered occasionally, she was already asleep, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, her face was extraordinarily soft , Her soft breathing could be heard in the quiet room.She is a little tired today, and she is smelling fragrant at the moment.

Zhang Tan looked at her tenderly, and stretched out his hand to smooth out the ends of her hair. It was hard to imagine that this was his daughter, who was already so old.Who would have thought a year ago? ?

In the past year, he has gradually adapted to the change of roles, trying to become a competent father, so that he can take better care of Zhou Quan Xiaobai, and let Xiaobai accept him more naturally.He knows he has a lot to do and he's learning.

With the change of mentality, his feelings for Xiaobai also changed, and he began to care about her eating and drinking, caring about her study and daily mood, caring about companionship and father's love to make up for it.

This is the father's responsibility, and he is gradually getting up, and he can no longer let Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping do these things.

He began to worry about it, wanting to give her the best, to give her everything, what others have she can't live without, and what others don't have, as long as she likes, she also wants to have it.

He was reluctant to blame Xiaobai, and even had a tendency to dote on him. In fact, he didn't worry much about this, because Xiaobai was actually very sensible, and Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping would consciously make up for what he didn't do. For example, Ma Lanhua would scold Xiaobai , to teach her some profound lessons.

Zhang Tan gently put down the picture book, turned off the lamp, and exited the room.

The lights in the living room were turned off, and the night was completely quiet.

Early the next morning, when Aunt Huang came to the academy, she happened to see Zhang Tan's car driving off West Chang'an Street, into the little red horse, and got off Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai.

"Did you buy something?" Aunt Huang asked. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Tan would not drive into the academy unless he bought something and needed to carry it.

"I bought some." Zhang Tan said, and asked Xiaobai to open the door of the classroom, while he opened the trunk of the car. Aunt Huang took a closer look, and found some umbrellas and raincoats.

"What is this for?"

Zhang Tan said: "Umbrellas and raincoats, there is a lot of rain in summer, so prepare some in the school for those unprepared parents, so as not to get caught in the rain."

There are raincoats for adults and small ones, small, colorful, and with various patterns. Xiao Bai ran over excitedly and told Aunt Huang that she picked out these small raincoats.
