Dad Academy

Zhao Xiaochun decided not to go to Little Red Horse anymore in order to take care of his father. He didn't even go to Little Red Horse to say goodbye. His mother took away the quilts and sheets that were left there. He thought that he had no friends in Little Red Horse, so he didn't need to say goodbye.

However, the children in Little Red Mali were very sad when they learned that he suddenly stopped coming.

Zhao Xiaochun is staying in the hospital to take care of his father these days. He doesn't really need to take care of anything, but the child is very diligent, serving tea, pouring water and peeling apples. Even if nothing happened, he would always find various excuses to stay in the ward and sit quietly, like an old man guarding the mountain.

He still goes to school normally, there is no room for negotiation on this point, and his parents do not allow him to miss school.

The day of Zhao Rongli's surgery finally arrived. His wife Wang Na was very worried, but she always behaved calmly in front of Zhao Xiaochun, thinking that Zhao Xiaochun would not notice. In fact, Zhao Xiaochun could see it through some details, such as his mother would be in a daze and talk about something.

Zhao Xiaochun was very worried about Zhao Rongli's condition. He knew far less than his mother did. He had always listened to his mother telling him about his father's condition. He thought that his mother was deliberately saying nice things, but in fact his father's condition was not that, and it must be much more serious than what he said.

But he didn't ask, and it was useless to ask. He knew that his mother would not tell him the truth because she thought he was a child.

He kept this concern in his heart.

Before Zhao Rongli performed the operation, he suddenly called Wang Na and said that he wanted to make a will.

"What are you talking about? Why did you suddenly think of...this?" Wang Na stood stunned for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Rongli had a serious expression and was not joking, she couldn't help but say in a pleading tone. She thought it would be unlucky to say this before the operation, so she did not dare to say the words "make a will."

"I want it so that I can feel at ease." Zhao Rongli said.

Wang Na forced a smile and said: "Stop saying that, get ready, I'm going to have surgery soon."

"It started at nine o'clock. It's only eight o'clock now. There's enough time. Bring me paper and pen."

"Let's talk about it after the operation."

"No, just meet my request."

Wang Na stared at him for a while and said with a cry: "Do you want to give up?"

"Of course I won't give up. I don't worry about leaving you and Xiaochun behind. I will definitely work hard to get through it, but what if, if something happens to me, I will always leave something for you, mother and son."

The nurse on the side said to Wang Na at this time: "Actually, this kind of situation happens a lot in hospitals. You don't need to think too much."

Zhao Rongli insisted, and Wang Na held back her tears and agreed. She found paper and pen and handed them to him.

The bathroom door opened, and Zhao Xiaochun came out. Zhao Rongli glanced at him, smiled and wrote quickly on the paper...

"Okay!"

He checked it one last time, signed it, and handed the will back to Wang Na.

"Did you finish it so quickly?" Wang Na took it in her hand and browsed it quickly. There were not many words, just three sentences. After reading it, she stayed where she was, as if she was frozen.

The will stated that if Zhao Rongli died unexpectedly, everything he owned would belong to Wang Na and Zhao Xiaochun.

"You, why do you have to do this?" Wang Na said.

Zhao Rongli said: "I wouldn't worry otherwise."

He held Wang Na's hand, pulled her close to the bed, said some words, and then called Zhao Xiaochun to the bedside and told him some things.

"...You are a little man now. You should take good care of your mother, don't fight with others at school, and don't go astray..."

Three doctors in white coats opened the door and came in to take Zhao Rongli for surgery.

After Zhao Rongli finished speaking, he left with a smile and shook his fist before going out to reassure Wang Na and Zhao Xiaochun.

——

Summer mornings light up very early, and it’s already bright after six o’clock. Zhao Xiaochun was sleeping in his room when he suddenly pricked up his ears alertly and lay motionless on his side, listening to the sounds coming from the living room.

Besides him, there is someone else at home at the moment! But he was the only one at home last night. His father had an operation. Although it was successful, he needed to be hospitalized to recuperate, so his mother stayed there at night to take care of him while he lived alone at home.

But at this moment, the sound of moving chairs and footsteps came from the living room.

Footsteps gradually approached, and then there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Xiaochun, are you awake?"

It's Wang Na! Wang Na asked him in a soft voice.

Zhao Xiaochun responded, got up, got dressed, opened the bedroom door and walked out, and saw his mother busy in the kitchen, with a bowl of shredded pork noodles on the dining table.

"When did you come back?" Zhao Xiaochun asked.

"I came back in the morning and made breakfast for you before going over."

Although Zhao Xiaochun is 7 years old, Wang Na is still worried about leaving him alone at home. There is really no way last night. Zhao Rongli has just had an operation and is very weak. Someone must take care of him 24 hours a day.

When she came home in the morning and saw Zhao Xiaochun sleeping well, Wang Na put her heart back into her stomach.

She returned to the kitchen and was boiling eggs. She yawned and her eyes were a little haggard. She didn't have a good rest last night. She was very tired, but she was in good spirits and in a better mood. She hummed softly in her mouth and put two eggs in a small bowl. A boiled egg comes out.

"Eat these two eggs too."

Zhao Xiaochun noticed that his mother was in a good mood and became much more cheerful.

After breakfast, Wang Na sent him to school. He wanted to go alone, but Wang Na disagreed and insisted on sending him to the school gate.

Zhao Xiaochun entered the school gate and left without looking back. Instead, he watched his mother go away before turning around and walking back to the school. A little boy was running in a hurry and almost bumped into him. When he recognized Zhao Xiaochun, he was so shocked that he forgot to apologize.

Zhao Xiaochun not only has a bad reputation in Little Red Horse, but he is also not very good at school. Especially in a small circle, he is feared as a bad boy.

The little boy who almost bumped into him at this moment had heard about Zhao Xiaochun's deeds, so he was frightened.

"Be careful when you walk, it will hurt if you fall." Zhao Xiaochun said, after righting the little boy, he walked to the classroom with his schoolbag on his back. The little boy watched him go away in surprise, muttering that it was different from the rumors.

Zhao Xiaochun went up the steps and was about to enter the classroom when three boys walked out of the corridor. The current one was very tall and was Li Jun.

Zhao Xiaochun's expression changed. This Li Jun was one grade older than him and liked to bully him.

He didn't want to talk to him, so he lowered his head and went back to the classroom, but Li Jun took the initiative to come to the door, stood in front of him, and said some provocative words.

Zhao Xiaochun wanted to rush up and fight several times, but he remembered what Zhao Rongli said when he made his will, telling him not to fight again to avoid going astray, so he held back, ignored Li Jun and others, and just wanted to go back to the classroom.

However, Li Jun suddenly talked about Zhao Rongli's surgery. I don't know where he got the news, but he actually knew about Zhao Rongli.

Li Jun said a few bad words, which made Zhao Xiaochun furious. He jumped on them and beat them.

…

Before the morning class ended, Wang Na appeared in the school and took Zhao Xiaochun away from the teacher's office.

"I don't want to come to school anymore." Zhao Xiaochun said frustratedly on the way back.

Wang Na: "Why don't you want to come? Is it because Li Jun bullied you?"

Zhao Xiaochun didn't answer, he was stubborn. On the way to the hospital, he remained silent, with a stubborn expression on his face, and seemed very unwilling to admit defeat.

Wang Na didn't say anything. She drove Zhao Xiaochun back to the hospital on a small electric car. She went upstairs and walked in the corridor. Suddenly Zhao Xiaochun stopped walking.

"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?" Wang Na asked.

Zhao Xiaochun turned around and said, "Can you not tell my dad about my fight?"

He still remembered Zhao Rongli telling him not to fight.

Wang Na nodded and said, "Let's go, someone is waiting for you in the ward."

"who is it?"

"There's a ward in front of you. You'll know if you go and see it."

Zhao Xiaochun was curious. As soon as he approached the ward, he heard the voice of a little girl coming out:

"Uncle, please get better soon. Can I carry you up to eat grapes?"

"666 Duck, you are so strong. You can carry Zhao Xiaochun's father on your back. You are so awesome. Can you give me one grape? Xi'er, give me one."

"hiahiahia, Xiaobai said I couldn't give it to you. It was for Xiaochun's father."

…

Zhao Xiaochun paused and immediately recognized who was coming from the ward. The first one to speak was Dudu, the second one was Liliu, and the third one was Xi'er!

Why are they here?

Zhao Xiaochun looked at Wang Na with questioning eyes.

Wang Na smiled and said: "They came by themselves. Boss Zhang brought them. They said they were visiting your father. They still have something to say to you."
