Chapter 984 - 976: Tidying Up Myself
"Then I’ll leave it to you. I know our family has troubled you a lot. We will always remember your great kindness," Hu Jingtang said.
He was also a man who valued his reputation and had never asked anyone for help in his life. It was unexpected that in his final moments, he owed others so much.
"Mr. Hu, please don’t say that. I’m happy to do all this. Liu Rui is like a younger brother to me, so I must save him. You shouldn’t feel any burden in your heart. Just consider me as part of your family. I still want to come to your place to eat and drink!" said Xiao Yifei.
"Xiaoshitou, Uncle Lin has something very important to do right now, so you stay here with Grandpa for the morning, okay? When the sun is directly overhead, I’ll be back. You need to listen to Grandpa carefully," Xiao Yifei patiently told Xiaoshitou, explaining what to do after he left.
Xiaoshitou listened obediently and nodded. Watching from the side, Hu Jingtang suddenly felt that Xiao Yifei would definitely be a good father in the future, as he was so patient with another person’s child.
After Xiao Yifei left, Xiaoshitou quietly sat on a stool in the yard, occasionally looking up at the sun’s position in the sky.
"Xiaoshitou, how about Grandpa teaches you how to write?" Hu Jingtang said, seeing the child very bored.
Hu Jingtang found some paper and two pens from the house, placed them on the table, and first wrote the word "小" (small).
Then he said to Xiaoshitou, "This is the first character of your name. You are called Xiaoshitou, and this is the ’xiao’ character. Come, write it once after Grandpa."
Xiaoshitou took the pen and, following how Hu Jingtang wrote, drew a "小" character. This child had long passed the optimal time for learning how to write, and although it’s not too late now, it’s nowhere near as fast as children of four or five years old learn.
