Daddy Academy

Chapter 2877 Asking for help requires gifts
Zhang Tan sat on the sofa, ready to listen to Xiwawa telling the English story in her mind, but the little girl walked towards the study, turned back and waved, asking him to follow her.

Telling English stories should be done in the study, which is more formal and ceremonial.

Zhang Tan found it funny and interesting, so he followed with the grapes in his hand and closed the study door after Xiwawa reminded him.

Then Xiwawa pushed over a small chair, which was where she and Xiaobai usually sat when doing their homework.

She sat in front of Zhang Tan's big chair, put her feet together, sat upright, and began to tell her story.

Zhang Tan initially thought it would be an ordinary little story, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong. It was indeed a little story, but when told by the little girl Tan Xier, it was very touching.

Zhang Tan couldn't help but put away his playful thoughts and listened carefully to Xier's gestures as she finished her story.

Her eyes were sparkling as she stared at Zhang Tan, full of anticipation, but also a little nervous, fearing that she wouldn't speak well and her godfather wouldn't like it.

But Zhang Tan praised him highly and did not hesitate to give him compliments.

Little girl Tan Xier's eyes became brighter, and she had an unconcealable smile on her face. If she hadn't had such good self-control, she would have laughed out loud.

Until she couldn't help it anymore, she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed for a while, but her eyes were full of smiles, which were overflowing and could not be hidden.

"Is it really okay?" Xiwawa was still a little unsure and sought her godfather's approval again.

"It's really good. This is the best English story I have ever heard. It can not only help students learn knowledge, but also touch their hearts. It is very moving and expressive." Zhang Tan said sincerely.

"hiahia~"

Xier quickly covered her mouth and laughed secretly, looking like someone trying to cover his ears and steal a bell.

Zhang Tan asked the question in his mind: "Did you think of this yourself?"

Xier nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah, yeah~ I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Zhang Tan couldn't help but look at the little girl Tan Xier with admiration. He had really underestimated the little girl before. She was able to come up with such a profound story. Although it was simple, it was great.

I thought Xier was always silly.

Zhang Tan asked her, "How did you come up with this story? How many days did it take you to write it?"

Xier blah blah, saying that she had dreamed about it last night, and then she thought of it.

"Ah? In a dream? ... How special."

Zhang Tan did not deny that it is possible to dream. For example, he saw in the news that he dreamed of a string of numbers, and when he woke up he didn’t know what they meant. One day the lottery was drawn, and the winning numbers were that string of numbers. He immediately regretted not buying the number.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s talk about the recent past. He writes scripts based on dreams, at least that’s how he sometimes explains it to the outside world.

"I figured it out after thinking about it for a while." Xier said, and Hiahia laughed.

It didn't take her several days, but just a moment for her to come up with the idea. She didn't have the idea in the evening when she got out of school, but when she was bored after dinner and finishing her homework, she came up with the idea and perfected it.

Who told her to write her homework too fast? Her friends hadn't finished yet, and they wouldn't let her check their work, and they didn't dare ask her to do it for them. She could only sit there bored and think about it.

Zhang Tan continued to praise the little girl Tan Xier, saying that she was quick-witted and smart.

"Don't worry, I'll leave the rest of the work to you, Godfather. I'll definitely get it done for you."

"Thank you godfather."

Xier thanked him politely, and stood up to rummage in her trouser pocket, and took out a ceramic Maitreya Buddha. The Maitreya Buddha was smiling, with his chest open, revealing a big round belly.

"Godfather, this is for you. I hope you can laugh as often as this big-bellied grandpa."

There was even a salary! Zhang Tan was surprised for a moment, and accepted the small Maitreya Buddha, which was about the size of his thumb. When he got closer, he found that the left ear of the Maitreya Buddha had fallen off, leaving a gap.

Xier said a little embarrassedly: "I picked it up in the alley, hiahia~~~"

Although it was picked up and its left ear was knocked off, the Maitreya Buddha was washed clean and looks very cute.

"Is it for me?" Zhang Tan asked. He felt the kindness of little Tan Xier and was actually moved. This showed a much deeper sentiment than the expensive gifts given by outsiders.

"Yes, this is for you, godfather, please accept it, please accept it~"

Little girl Tan Xier learned how to persuade people to accept gifts. Zhang Tan accepted it decisively and placed it under the computer screen on the desk so that he could see it when he lowered his head.

Xier put her hands on the edge of the desk, stared at Maitreya Buddha with her eyes, and asked her godfather whether he liked this little gift.

"It's very beautiful. I like it very much. The most important thing is that it's a gift from you." Zhang Tan spoke without hesitation. He hadn't said such words to coax girls for a long time, but he didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

Xier was very happy after hearing this: "Godfather, please go back to work. I'm leaving now. Bye~"

She waved and went out, Zhang Tan followed behind her. As they walked into the living room, they heard the door open with a click, and the voices of Xiaobai and Robin were heard.

Zhang Tan's heart subconsciously skipped a beat, but he heard Xier happily calling "Xiaobai" and running over.

"Haha, auntie, I told you that sister Xier is at home~" This is Robin. As expected, she has long been her auntie's spy.

Xiaobai did not doubt Xier, but stared at her old man with suspicion.

Zhang sighed and said, "I talked to Xi'er for a while."

"What did you say?" Xiao Bai became even more suspicious. Why did he hide from her when he was talking? It seemed like he was hiding on purpose.

Xier hiahia smiled, as honest as ever: "I told my godfather my story and asked him for help."

"Huh? You've got a story in mind? What story? I'll help with that, too."

Robin also jumped out and threatened to help and do his best.

Maybe she can't do other things, but she can at least serve tea and water.

"Hiahia, I won't tell you yet, Xiaobai, when I tell the story, I'll ask you to sit in the front row so you can listen closest to me."

Sincerity is the ultimate skill, and this made Xiaobai feel embarrassed to ask more about the story.

However, Xiaobai started to nag, complaining that Xiwawa didn't ask her for help in thinking of stories. She had already thought of several and told one on the spot.

This is a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Xiwawa always likes to nag Xiaobai, and this time Xiaobai found the opportunity and started nagging her.

However, it seems that this mode has no effect on Xiwawa. She does not seem to be bothered at all. Instead, she listens with gusto and laughs out loud from time to time.

The three of them went downstairs. Zhang Tan thought that the matter was over, so he returned to the study and began to think about making a presentation for Xier. Actually, his ability in this area was limited, but he could ask people from the company for help; the PPTs they made were fashionable and good-looking.

In the evening, Xiaobai sent all the children away and returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he started to feel something was wrong. He sighed and said that he was so tired, really so tired. It was so tiring to take care of so many children.

Zhang Tangang said, "Teacher Xiaoliu and the others will take good care of it. You don't have to be so busy."

Xiao Bai immediately responded: "Then why don't you tell me the story of the happy doll? Hum~"

"emmmmm~~~"

Zhang Tan was speechless. This was totally irrelevant. How could it have anything to do with what he just said?
