After returning home, the little child no longer had time for trips, but had more time for makeup classes.
The best tutors were hired in the palace and all the four children were brought in for tutoring.
The teachers were very strict.
The little child originally intended to daydream while attending classes, but he never expected that this teacher could actually tell which child was daydreaming!
The daydreaming child would be punished with extra homework, and if it wasn’t completed, mealtime would be delayed.
After missing two meals, the daydreaming problem of the little child, which even the teachers at the Imperial Kindergarten and many adults around him couldn’t solve, miraculously improved.
Zhan Xi, who was recently busy with the junkyard, took some time to come over. When he glanced from outside the window, he saw a small figure sitting up straight.
Coincidentally, the teacher asked a question to one of the children.
The little child’s face was serious, and he accurately answered the question.
The teacher was very pleased and praised him, while Lele, acting as the little child’s sidekick, enthusiastically clapped his hands.
Dad Ningning was great!
Under the threat of skipping meals and Lele’s adoring gaze, the little child finally straightened up a bit.
Zhan Xi looked for a long time, sighed, and said, “This teacher teaches very well, but I can’t use this method.”
It was impossible for Zhan Xi to make the little child concentrate on studying without letting him eat.
Even if the big guys on the barren planet knew about this method, they wouldn’t use it.
“Forget it. Just let him catch up during the rest of the winter vacation,” Zhan Xi said. “When school starts, if he daydreams again, I’ll think of another solution.”
Zhan Xi was quite satisfied with the little child’s practical course this time.
He wanted the little child to excel in mecha and combat, so even if he didn’t have offensive spiritual power in the future, he could still protect himself in danger.
As for the academic results...
Zhan Xi rubbed his temples. He had to take this seriously to ensure the child could pass the civil service exams in the future.
Zhan Xi was busy with the junkyard, and after a hurried glance at his son, he left again.
The little child left in the palace, whenever class was over, would stare outside with longing eyes.
“Dad, what are you looking at?”
Lele sat beside Dad Ningning, clutching a chocolate bar in his hand, biting on it while asking his father.
Ningning, distressed, took a bite out of Lele’s chocolate bar, looking out the window with continued longing.
“I’m waiting for your Grandpa Zhan Xi, why hasn’t he come to take us home yet?”
The little child would rather go back to scavenging junk than sit here and study.
The teacher was so strict, and the little child was so miserable.
Lele didn’t mind where he was; he found the palace very enjoyable. There was a cute little rolling beast, round and black with white patches, and chubby kittens in the palace.
Lele, who had always been locked in a small room before, loved all of this.
After more than half a month of intensive study, the little child looked at the calendar bought by his brother on the table and tearfully tore off the days.
“It’s almost New Year. Why is Ningning still studying?”
This winter vacation was not friendly to the little child at all.
With the little child eagerly waiting, the end of the year approached, and Zhan Xi’s junkyard was finally sorted out.
Zhan Xi, who had sorted out the junkyard, also freed up time to pick up his son.
Before he arrived, he received a message from the little child.
“Dad, I miss you so much!”
“I miss you so much that I’ve lost weight, hurry up and come pick me up.”
The little child sent message after message to his father, keeping Zhan Xi busy to the point of exhaustion. Without resting, he went straight to the palace to see his child.
He was calculating the tuition fees for the next semester for the child.
The tuition fee for the Imperial Military Kindergarten was paid per semester, and new courses would be added for the next semester, which would cost more than the previous semester.
In addition to tuition fees, there were other expenses for the little child.
Huo Lin was in the Imperial Military Elementary School. Given his child’s attachment to his brother, he would definitely go to the Imperial Military Elementary School when he graduated from kindergarten, where the tuition was even higher.
These high tuition fees, along with the child’s tutoring expenses and living expenses, forced Zhan Xi to work even harder.
Relying solely on collecting junk on his tricycle, he definitely wouldn’t earn enough money.
To earn more money, he must manage this rundown factory well.
“Ling Qi, you go back and rest. I’ll go alone to pick up the kid.”
These days, Zhan Xi had been busy, and Ling Qi had been busy too.
Originally, Zhan Xi didn’t intend to let Ling Qi help with the dirty and tiring work, but Ling Qi still followed along.
“It’s faster to work together than alone. After we finish here, we still need to go back to the barren planet for the New Year.”
The two of them had been busy together, busy until now.
Listening to Zhan Xi’s words, Ling Qi didn’t follow him this time to pick up the kid. “You go get him. I’ll go back and cook.”
“I haven’t seen Ningning for a long time. I wonder how much weight he’s lost.”
Thinking about the little child’s hard work studying these days, Ling Qi furrowed his brows. He heard the little child say that this teacher was very strict. If he didn’t study well, he wouldn’t even be able to eat.
With such a method, the child was probably really skinny now.
The more Ling Qi thought so, the more furrowed his brows became. Instead of resting when he got home, he went straight to the kitchen to cook.
On the other side,
Ningning, who had been eagerly awaiting his dad, finally saw him.
“Daddy!!!”
Seeing his dad again, Ningning rushed over like a little cannonball with his short legs.
Zhan Xi bent down, opened his arms, and caught the little child in his embrace.
“Did you miss Daddy?”
“Yes!”
The little child rubbed his dad’s face vigorously and kissed him several times. “Ningning really misses Daddy!”
After the father and son have had enough of their affectionate moment, Zhan Xi walked over to ask the little child about his days in the palace.
Lele held several test papers with bright eyes and showed them to Zhan Xi. “Grandpa Zhan Xi, look, Daddy’s test papers!”
Zhan Xi was stunned for a moment and took the test papers.
He passed several exams, and not only that, but his papers were also filled out diligently and meticulously.
The little child looked at the test papers and sniffled sadly, “These are all Ningning’s meat.”
He achieved these results through meat!
Hearing him mention “meat,” Zhan Xi remembered the main issue at hand. He patted the child in his arms, wanting to see how much weight the little child had lost.
But the more he patted, the more he felt like he might be hallucinating: “Ningning, didn’t you say you wanted to lose weight for Dad?”
How did he feel like the child had gained weight again?
Due to being sad all the time, the little one, who would secretly beg for food around the palace, didn’t actually lose much weight.
Zhan Xi looked at his chubby little face and the elusive chubby waist, squinting his eyes: “Ningning, do you really miss Dad?”
“I do!”
The little child pointed to his chest, his chubby face earnestly swearing, “I really miss Daddy!”
Zhan Xi lifted up another finger alongside the first, saying, “This is how you swear. Promise again. If you don’t think of Daddy every day, the red envelopes you get for New Year will all be empty.”
The little child: “!”
The little child widened his eyes, sharp as a knife: “Dad, are you trying to trick me out of red envelopes again?”
Last New Year, Dad tricked him out of his red envelopes!
