Daddy Academy

Chapter 2555: Prepare some dowry for me

Xiaobai was very unhappy with her aunt's behavior. She brought her freshly stewed chicken soup with good intentions, but she didn't wash the dishes herself after drinking it, and asked the little friend to do it instead. She was so confident and took it for granted, which really pissed off the little kid.

On the way back, Xiao Xiaobai held the tableware carefully in both hands and listened to her aunt's complaints. Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she somehow empathized with her aunt and couldn't help but share the same hatred and joined her in complaining about her grandmother's behavior.

When the two complained all the way back to the Little Red Pony Academy, they heard a voice as soon as they reached the gate.

"Xiaobai, where did you go just now?"

Xiaobai looked up and found that it was his old man who came back.

Xiao Xiaobai also noticed it. She was angry with her aunt because of her aunt. She hadn't gotten over the negative emotions yet. So when she saw her uncle, she couldn't help but complain, "You still remember to come back, huh, I told you to go home, but you didn't go home."

Zhang Tan: "..."

Everyone was stunned. Is this what a little kid would say?
Even Xiaobai was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Xiaobai to be so tough!

Xiao Xiaobai complained to her uncle, then walked past him carrying the tableware without even looking at him, and went straight home.

Zhang Tan watched the little guy walk by without coming to his senses. Only when the little guy was far away did he laugh and ask Xiao Bai beside him: "I remember you weighed Xiao Xiao Bai yesterday. How much did she weigh?"

Xiao Bai didn't understand why the old man asked this. Did he want to stew Xiao Xiao Bai like a free-range chicken? So he asked about the weight so that he could estimate how many bowls of soup he could make.

She said: "It's less than 30 kilograms!"

Zhang Tan walked towards home and said, "30 kilograms, so I guess 20 kilograms are rebellious."

Xiaobai laughed and after thinking for a while, he decided to say something good about his little niece.

"Xiao Xiaobai was bullied by her aunt today, and she is very angry. Old man, don't be angry with her. She is a good child, she is just a little silly, and her brain is dull."

Zhang Tan comforted her and said, "I won't argue with Xiao Xiaobai. If I wanted to argue with her, I would have pinched her face when she argued with me just now."

Then he added, "Xiao Xiaobai, she called me to come home for dinner, but I didn't agree. Then you called me and I agreed, so she must be unhappy. Xiaobai, please say a few more good words for me. I am doing this for you."

When Xiaobai heard this, she tried to keep a tight face, but she felt very happy in her heart. She liked this flattery very much.

She nodded and pretended to be steady and said, "Don't worry, old man. I will keep an eye on Xiao Xiaobai and will never let her put a staring green worm under your pillow."

Zhang Tan pretended to be relieved: "That's good, I can sleep well at night."

Xiaobai followed, her steps became much lighter, and her little mouth chattered, showing that the negative emotions that her aunt had just brought her were gone, and her mood had brightened.

When they got home, Teacher Jiang had already prepared lunch and the food was on the table, waiting for them to come home and eat together.

When Zhang Tan got home, he saw Xi'er sitting at the dining table. Xiaobai ran over and asked, "Xi'er, have you finished drinking?"

Xier said she finished the soup but didn't finish the chicken in the bowl.

Xiao Xiaobai was in the kitchen, returning the tableware he had just brought back to Grandma Jiang. He was panting non-stop, showing how tired and overworked he was.

Teacher Jiang praised her for her ability and told her to eat more stewed chicken later.

Two adults and three children sat at the dining table and started eating lunch.

Zhang Tan put a piece of chicken in Xier's bowl and said, "Xier, you should eat more. You eat so little."

Xier laughed but said nothing.

Seeing this, Xiaobai also picked up a piece of meat and put it in his niece's bowl.

The little niece looked up and thanked her aunt sweetly.

Her aunt said, "This is the chicken you brought back. You should eat more."

Xiao Xiaobai instantly felt that the food tasted delicious, but she felt bitter in her heart. She immediately thought of the experience of buying and leading the chicken. Such a cute chicken was now in her bowl.

Suddenly it didn't smell good.

Xiao Bai didn't notice her mood change, but was concerned about the old man's work in the morning. After listening to the old man's talk, he asked, "Old man, did the box office of yesterday's movie come out?"

Zhang Tan looked at her and joked, "Hey, Xiaobai, you also know the box office?"

Xiao Bai said proudly: "I don't know anything. It's about the box office. Isn't Liuliu the heroine of a 5 billion box office movie? Ahaha."

The tone of the last "aha" was a bit strange, and it didn't sound like he was seriously praising Liuliu.

"Is it out?" Xiaobai continued to ask.

Teacher Jiang also looked at Zhang Tan, concerned about the first day's box office. She didn't understand these things before, but after attending the movie premieres one after another, she experienced more, heard more, and watched more, and naturally knew some things about the film industry, such as the box office of the premiere, which was very important and often reflected the subsequent box office trend of the film.

Zhang sighed and said, "Last night's box office was 5000 million."

Xiao Bai said "oh", not really knowing what 5000 million yuan in box office meant. She was concerned about something else: "Old man, let's strive for a box office of more than 50 billion yuan."

Zhang Tan pondered over what the little girl said. It was not more, not less, just 50 billion. She just mentioned Liuliu's 50 billion box office heroine, so she wanted to surpass Liuliu.

Teacher Jiang asked: "Is 5000 million a lot?"

As he spoke, he picked up a chicken leg for Zhang Tan.

Xiao Xiaobai stared at the chicken leg, and then her aunt kicked her feet under the table to remind her not to look around.

Zhang sighed and said, "If we can get 5000 million at the box office on the premiere day, that would be great, a good start."

Teacher Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good. I knew the movie was good."

Zhang Tan continued, "Besides, this is just last night's box office, not 24 hours. Today is a full screening day. The full day's box office results can be released in the early morning. It is estimated to be more than million."

Teacher Jiang was shocked: "So many!"

Zhang Tan had a smile on his face and thought to himself that this is still a conservative estimate. 100 million is the bottom line, and we can strive for 200 million.

On the one hand, as Zhang Tan just said, today is the first full screening day. On the other hand, the public opinion of "The Matrix" is very good. The movie is rated 9.8 points now. Even if the score will drop as the number of viewers increases in the future, this also shows that the quality of the movie is very high. With the spread of word of mouth, explosive box office growth is entirely possible.

Suddenly, Xiaobai picked up his small flower bowl, which was filled with golden chicken soup, and clinked Zhang Tan's bowl with a smile, "Cheers, old man, congratulations! You are going to get rich, hahahahaha~~~~"

Zhang Tan picked up his bowl with amusement, clinked it with hers, and said, "Thank you, this is all thanks to you. If you really get rich, I'll treat you to a feast."

Xiao Bai suddenly said with a smile: "I don't want a big meal, I want the old man to prepare some dowry for me, that's what they say on TV."

Zhang Tan's face changed and he said unhappily, "Ha! You are so young, what do you mean by dowry?"
