Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Shen’s movements as he bandaged the wound were both rough and efficient. He then carried his daughter, Su Le, downstairs. His deep-set eyes and prominent nose always gave off a cold and distant impression. Little Su Le observed her father, feeling somewhat estranged. She lay still in his arms, not speaking, only watching him, appearing incredibly well-behaved.
Su Shen felt a twinge of embarrassment. He had been so busy lately that his own daughter had become unfamiliar with him.
He decided to carry her away, thinking that Gu Zi would need time to care for her skin after her bath. Gu Zi had this habit of skin care after bathing. With him taking care of their daughter, she could focus on her own tasks without any hassle.
He had spent little time at home recently, so on this rare day when he had some time, he naturally wanted to help out as much as possible.
Additionally, he could spend some time with his child. Seeing Su Le’s unfamiliar gaze, Su Shen felt even more strongly that his decision was correct. If he didn’t spend more time with her, Su Le might forget that she even had a father.
This home was never just the home of one person. Just because he was the man of the house, it didn’t mean he could completely neglect his responsibilities towards his family. Being a male head of the household wasn’t just about providing financially. If there was no care or companionship, no amount of money could make up for it.
Before he met Gu Zi, he had never thought about this. Now, he deeply recognized his previous shortcomings. Even if he held a public office, even if he was busy at the factory, these were not excuses for him to only bring money home and not himself.
His contribution to the family should not only be financial, but also include companionship and care. These elements should be integrated into every day spent with his family, making every ordinary day filled with love. Perhaps only then would Su Shen feel that he had not let down Gu Zi, a woman who was both talented and beautiful, kind and principled.
When Su Shen arrived home, he found that his sons, Su Li and his older brother, had already returned from school. They were in the courtyard, where Su Li was chattering away, “Brother, just give me a little to eat, it smells so good. I’ll only have a small piece, please!”
Su Bing was the first to enter the house, with Su Li following closely behind. His eyes were fixated on the yellow paper bag in Su Bing’s hand. He was about to open his mouth to plead for a share, but upon noticing Su Shen sitting on the sofa, he restrained himself and greeted him respectfully, “Hello, Father! I, I’ve already finished my homework at school.” He then took a seat next to Lele.VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
After a brief visit to the kitchen, Su Bing reappeared without the yellow paper bag. Su Li glanced at his brother, his lips curling into a pout. His brother always claimed that he was the one who sought attention, but he was no different. He always insisted on giving their mother the first taste of any delicacy. Was he not his younger brother?
However, Su Li wasn’t jealous of their mother. He agreed that his brother was right; any delicious food should be offered to their mother first. His displeasure stemmed solely from his intense desire to eat.
Su Bing, having removed his backpack, approached Su Shen and presented two test papers. On top of them was a small note, “Father, these are my end-of-term test papers, along with evaluations for other subjects. They were handed out today. Would you like to take a look?”
Upon hearing this, Su Li quickly stood up, rummaged through his backpack, and retrieved his own test papers. He followed his brother and handed his papers to their father, saying in a formal tone, “Mother said that not only should we share our grades with her, but we should also proactively share them with our busy father. I’m sorry, Father, I had forgotten. Please take a look!”
Listening to Su Li’s explanation, Su Shen realized that this was all due to Gu Zi’s teachings. A wave of strange emotions welled up within him – gratitude towards her, and an unspeakable sense of excitement.
Gu Zi was a woman of her word. She had promised to take good care of the children, and she did so admirably. Not only did she guide their character development, but she also nurtured their father-son bond.
Su Shen accepted the test papers from Su Bing and Su Li. Following the principle of respecting the elder and cherishing the younger, he first looked at Su Bing’s. The small note on top was actually a simple grading sheet for various subjects. These subjects were not graded based on written exams, so the scores for each were written on this note.
The note contained grades for eight subjects: physical education, drawing, music, moral education, speaking, health education, history, and nature. Su Bing’s grades for physical education, drawing, music, moral education, history, and nature were all above 95, which was exceptionally outstanding.
