RYEY -Chapter 310 Standing Up for His Son

“Xinxin, Qijun’s mother hasn’t returned yet. Everything will have to wait until she’s back. But I agree.”

Qian Longkun and his sister exchanged a glance—there was an opening. Seeing Qijun blush, Qian Longxin looked at Cheng Qiao:

“Cheng Qiao, where are your children? I brought them a lot of good things. Come out and let me see them, especially little Cheng Li—I like him the most.”

Little Cheng Li hesitated mid-step. He didn’t want to like girls anyway, and besides, Qian Longxin was already in his twenties—way too old.

Qian Longxin saw three of the younger children run out but didn’t see little Cheng Li and felt a little disappointed. Out of all the kids, Cheng Li was the cutest, and she never got tired of looking at him.

As it grew darker and Qin Yue still hadn’t returned, they had no choice but to leave. Early the next morning, Li Huan took advantage of the two-day holiday and brought the children to Cheng Qiao’s school.

At this moment, the old gatekeeper realized Cheng Qiao hadn’t been lying—she really did have four children! And just look at them—so beautiful, almost like they were molded from the same template as Cheng Qiao.

“Sir, this is my husband, Li Huan.”

“Hello, sir. Do you smoke?”

“Yes, but it’s expensive and requires a ration ticket.”

“Here, nice to meet you. I’m studying in Chuncheng, and I’ll be leaving my wife in your care.”

Li Huan took out a pack of Huazi cigarettes from his pocket. They had been given to him by Zhao Hui, but Li Huan didn’t have any special fondness for cigarettes—he could smoke anything, or nothing at all.

“Well, Huanzi, you’re straightforward—thanks! I’ll definitely protect your wife. Every day so many people come looking for her to check her pulse, and I chase them all away.”

“Good, she still has school. There’s no time for all that.”

“Exactly, exactly.”

The old and young men started chatting at the gate. With the gatekeeper’s satisfied smile, they entered the school and toured it carefully. Li Huan was grateful he hadn’t taken the college entrance exam—there was no way he would have gotten into this school.

Ye Jing ran around the school playground with Xiao Nuan in tow. He loved his mother’s school, and when he grew up, he wanted to attend this school too.

Finally, Monday arrived. Little Li Ming was especially nervous today—not only were his parents sending him to school, but even his great-uncle was accompanying him. He had powerful backup.

They first sent the twins and little Cheng Li to school. The twins were fine, but little Cheng Li finally showed his childlike nature, eagerly introducing his dad and great-uncle to the teacher.

The teacher glanced at Li Huan and sighed internally—no wonder Cheng Li was so good-looking. His parents’ genes were excellent; of course, the child would be handsome.

Li Huan then pulled out his secret weapon, handing the teacher a large bag of candy as rewards for the well-behaved children. The teacher knew she could accept it, and the children could certainly enjoy it.

Cheng Li smiled. His dad was amazing! He waved his innocent little hand: “Mom, Dad, Great-Uncle, Grandpa, come pick me up early after school, okay?”

Ye Jun was furious. Usually, the grandparents’ visits came first. Now that parents were here, he was at the very end of the line—even Zhao Hui got ahead of him. He wouldn’t come tonight.

When it was Li Ming’s turn, Cheng Qiao noticed he walked stiffly, moving both hands and feet in sync. Her heart ached. This little guy never yielded, always appearing strong.

But after all, he was only five years old. To get his parents’ attention, he mischievously acted out—even if he got hit by Li Huan, he still humbly accepted his scolding.

“Li Huan, carry your son into the kindergarten.”

Li Huan noticed Li Ming’s nervousness, laughed, and effortlessly hoisted him onto his shoulder. Li Ming screamed in fright.

His voice was loud, instantly attracting the attention of other children and teachers. Seeing Li Huan dote on his child, the teacher understood everything.

“You’re Li Ming’s father, right? Sorry, we didn’t notice the issue earlier and let the child get hurt emotionally. We’ll pay more attention from now on.”

Li Huan set Li Ming down, ruffling his hair, and loudly said: “Son, Dad has your back. If it’s right, go ahead and do it bravely.”

The teacher was a bit embarrassed but responded in time, applauding first: “Everyone, let’s welcome Li Ming’s dad!”

Children follow their teacher’s lead. Seeing the teacher clap, over twenty children immediately raised their hands and clapped vigorously.

“Since I study at the Chuncheng Workers’ and Peasants’ University, I’m not usually around my child. If he misbehaves, feel free to punish or scold him as needed.”

“Oh, no need. As teachers, we cannot physically punish children.”

“Of course. These candies are from Chuncheng—please distribute them among the children. The rest can be used as rewards for well-behaved kids.”

The teacher happily accepted the candy, feeling its weight—at least four or five pounds. They lacked candy for children here, so this was a godsend.

“Children, let’s thank Li Ming’s dad for his generosity!”

As the candies reached the children’s hands, every child looked at Li Huan with kindness, and treated Li Ming even more warmly.

“Dad will come pick you up tonight. But I have to return to school tomorrow, and will catch a train tonight, so I can’t send you tomorrow. You’re a little man—take care of Mom and your siblings, okay?”

“Dad, I’ll take care of Mom and my siblings. You focus on school!”

Li Huan felt warm inside. He kissed Li Ming on the forehead, greeted the teacher, and turned to leave. Zhao Hui and Ye Jun exchanged a glance—they were completely invisible.

Li Huan and Zhao Hui each carried a suitcase, taking Mother Li with large and small bags to the express train back to Chuncheng. That night, none of the three slept, staying up watching over the luggage.

The commune secretary’s left eye had been twitching incessantly since early morning. They say a twitching left eye means wealth; right eye means disaster. Could Li Huan have found a business opportunity?

It was only seven o’clock, but he couldn’t sit still. Dressing quickly, he rode his bicycle to the commune.

He brewed a pot of tea, read several newspapers multiple times, but the phone didn’t ring. Just as he was about to eat in the cafeteria in frustration, the commune director rushed in excitedly.

The secretary frowned. Such a rush—what was this about? Before he could scold him, the director shouted excitedly: “Li Huan is here! He says he overfulfilled the task!”

The secretary’s cup fell to the floor with a clatter. He rushed out in a flurry, completely forgetting to scold the director.

“Secretary Hao, I’ve completed the task—”
