Dad Academy

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

After being taken to take a bath and change clothes by Zhang Tan, Xiaobai sat obediently in the corner and read a book. Xiaomi and Cheng Cheng were sitting with her before, but later they were picked up and replaced by Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zheng. Yuyou, then these two little ones were also picked up, and now they have turned into yellow-haired Xiaonian.

The two little ones were sitting cross-legged on the bench. Xiaobai was holding a picture book and reciting in a low voice. Xiaonian was listening attentively with his hands on his knees.

When Zhang Tan got closer, he heard that Xiaobai was speaking Mandarin. Although a few Trump words would pop up occasionally, but overall it had changed a lot. He no longer talked about Trump as before. It was fun and interesting, but listening don't know.

However, novices can't understand the entire picture book, so they have to guess a lot of the words and get by with cuteness.

She could read the entire book "The Hungry Second Brother" aloud. After all, she had already mastered this picture book. She could not master the other picture books for a while, even if Zhang Tan read it aloud to her.

Seeing Zhang Tan coming over, Xiaobai and Xiaonian raised their heads at the same time. Xiaonian was timid and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Xiaobai and squeezed towards Xiaobai, lowering his head. Dare to look at Zhang Tan.

"I don't want to go to bed and say goodbye yet." Xiaobai said, "Xiaonian's grandpa hasn't come yet, so I want to accompany her."

Zhang Tan looked at Xiaonian. Xiaonian lowered his head, as if he felt the gaze, and his young face turned red.

Zhang Tan said: "Why don't you go to bed, Xiaonian?"

Xiaonian made a mosquito-like sound and murmured a few words that could not be heard clearly. Xiaobai said that Xiaonian didn't want to sleep and she wanted to wait for her grandfather.

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

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

After saying that, he wanted to squeeze in and sit between Xiaobai and Xiaonian, but Xiaobai pushed him away: "Crawl away, crawl away, don't get close to us."

Zhang Tan could only sit down next to her, and Xiaobai 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's on My Head? What does it mean?"

Xiaobai laughed and said he was just pulling daddy.

Zhang Tan: "..."

He held the picture book and flipped through it. When he saw two little eyes looking at him eagerly, he began to read aloud in a low voice.

The night was quiet, and the rain kept falling outside. Teacher Xiaoliu came down from the second floor to take a look, and then went back after seeing what happened. After Zhang Tan finished reading "Who is it on my head?", he took Xiaobai and took it from the bookshelf. There were three picture books here. When I was reading the second one, footsteps were heard 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 shrouded in darkness, and water was dripping from his feet.

He stood at the door with no intention of coming in.

Xiaonian stood up suddenly, called grandpa cheerfully, and ran out.

Zhang Tan and Xiaobai followed closely. When they saw the man at the door taking 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 took her home and immediately apologized to Zhang Tan because he was late tonight.

The reason for being late was that I didn’t bring an umbrella or raincoat on a rainy day, and I was reluctant to buy them, so I hurried home to get them, which wasted a lot of time.

"It doesn't matter, safety comes first. If this happens in the future, we can let Xiaonian rest in the academy. It doesn't matter if he does it later or earlier." Zhang Tan said.

Xiaonian said goodbye to Xiaobai and Zhang Tan, and shyly praised Zhang Tan, saying that the stories he told were really nice.

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

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

It wasn't until they were out of sight that Zhang Tan lowered his head and said to Xiaobai, "Okay, Xiaonian is gone too. Let's go back. You need to go to bed."

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

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, hesitated, said that climbing stairs was her strength, and ran up with a swish. 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 Xiaobai had no intention of telling him. When he got home, he made a small bed for Xiaobai. Xiaobai came in, holding the long-lost fish maw glass bottle in his hand. .

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

Xiaobai laughed, climbed onto the small bed holding the glass bottle, sat on the bedside and said she would sleep like this tonight.

"Okay, but you have to be careful not to drop it on the ground, or it will break." Zhang Tan said, spreading out the light blue towel quilt and covering Xiao Bai's belly. He walked to the window and looked outside to see a sheet of rain. world, he repeatedly confirmed that the windows were closed tightly, and drew the curtains. The starry sky on the curtains suddenly unfolded, showing a world of starlight in the room.

Xiao Bai held the fish maw glass bottle on his belly, followed Zhang Tan with his big eyes, and kept staring at him sitting beside the bed, asking: "Do you want to tell Xiao Bai a story?"

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

"I want to listen to Mother Rabbit's advice, and Mother's advice is fine too," Xiaobai said.

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

As the night progressed, the patter of rain became clearer and clearer. In the room, under the dim light, Xiaobai had closed her eyes. Her eyelashes occasionally trembled slightly. She had fallen asleep, with a slight smile hanging on the corners of her mouth, and her face was particularly soft. , her soft breathing could be heard in the quiet room. She was a little tired today and was smelling good at the moment.

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

Over the course of a year, he has gradually adapted to the role change, and is working hard to become a competent father, so that he can better take care of Zhou Quan and Xiaobai, and Xiaobai can accept him more naturally. He knows he still has a lot to do, and he's learning.

As his mentality changed, his feelings for Xiaobai also changed, and he began to care about her eating, drinking, and eating, her study and daily mood, and the issues of companionship and fatherly love.

This is the father's responsibility, and he is gradually taking it on, and he can no longer let Malanhua and Bai Jianping do this.

He began to worry about it, wanting to give her the best, give her everything, she couldn't live without what others had, and she had to have what others didn't have as long as she liked it.

He is reluctant to blame Xiaobai, and even has a tendency to dote on him. In fact, he is not worried about this, because Xiaobai is actually very sensible, and Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping will consciously make up for the things he did not do. For example, Ma Lanhua will scold Xiaobai. , taught 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 down West Chang'an Street, driving into the Little Red Horse, and Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai got out.

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

"I bought some." Zhang Tan said and asked Xiaobai to open the classroom door while he opened the trunk of the car. Aunt Huang looked closer and saw some umbrellas and raincoats.

"What is this for?"

Zhang Tan said: "Umbrellas and raincoats, there is a lot of rain in summer, so the school will prepare some for parents who are not prepared to avoid getting caught in the rain."

There are raincoats for adults and children, small, colorful, and with various patterns. Xiaobai came over excitedly and told Aunt Huang that she picked out these little raincoats.

Asking for a monthly pass,
