Chapter 916: Teaching Chapter 916: Teaching Editor: Atlas Studios Little An ran to his fatherâs side, propped himself up, and climbed onto the chair beside him.
He sat upright.
Fan Zijin asked, âHave you eaten?â Little An shook his head honestly and said crisply, âFourth Uncle punished us to face the wall.
I havenât had the chance to eat.â Fan Zijin picked up his favorite dishes and said, âLetâs eat first.
Weâll talk after dinner.â Little An picked up his chopsticks and ate obediently.
Fan Zijin smiled at him as he picked up food for him.
Little An was very happy as his father rarely spent time alone with him.
In his memory, the number of times the two of them interacted like this could be counted on one hand.
Seeing that Little An had a good appetite and his face was rosy, Fan Zijin was also happy.
He kept putting food into his bowl and only stopped when Little An shook his head and said that it was enough.
After dinner, Yanmo brought his men to clear the dining table.
Only then did Fan Zijin carry his son to the soft couch and ask, âAre you angry that Fourth Uncle punished you?â Little An shook his head.
âEven though Tiger Head and Little Lion are younger than me, they were also punished.â âThen are you convinced?â Little An nodded at first.
When he saw his fatherâs smiling eyes, he stopped and said the truth hesitantly, âThe guards could really protect usĂąâŹÂŠâ âIn other words, if you were to do it all over again, youâd still do the same?â Little An lowered his head.
Fan Zijin patted his head and sighed.
âAs expected of my son.â Expecting Qi Haoran to teach Little An?
It was said that a son took after his father.
If Little An was anything like him, he would definitely agree on the surface but still do whatever he wanted next time.
It was a classic case of complying on the surface but disobeying on the inside.
Fan Zijin had been like this when he was young, but he obviously didnât want his son to be like this.
Just as Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling had said, they were too young, and it was too dangerous to resist the ruthless pirates like that.
It wasnât like all of the adults were dead and they needed the children to charge into the enemy ranks.
Fan Zijin knew that it would be difficult for Little An to be convinced if he merely reasoned using a few words like Qi Haoran or whip him.
Although Little Bear and the other brats were equally unconvinced, they would restrain themselves.
At least, they would not do it again for the time being and would be careful in the future.
But Little An was different.
This child looked obedient on the surface, but he was always the mastermind behind the mischiefs committed by Tiger Head and Little Lion.
This mischievous personality was exactly like Fan Zijinâs when he was young; he had a mind of his own and would not be beaten into submission.
He was a person who would listen to coaxing but not coercion.
Although he had been away from his son for the past two years, he knew his son as well as Qi Haoran.
The reason he brought his son here was to teach him.
He knew that no matter how much he tried to reason with Little An, he might not understand.
Even if he understood, he might not accept it.
He only told him that if that 1/1000th possibility scenario were to happen, he and his mother might lose him forever, and they would be in great pain.
Also, he would never have the chance to play with Tiger Head and Little Lion again.
Something bad could happen to Tiger Head and Little Lion as well.
Fan Zijin stroked his head and looked at him seriously.
âNow, are you still willing to take that risk?â Tears welled up in Little Anâs eyes as he leaned into his fatherâs arms and whispered, âI wonât do it again.â Fan Zijin stroked his head and smiled.
He did not think that his persuasion this time would stop Little An from doing dangerous things again.
After all, the child was still young and his personality was not yet fixed, so he might not think so much when the time came.
However, this persuasion would definitely leave a seed in his heart.
When he grew up, he would definitely think more deeply about it and have scruples.
Seeing that Little An was obedient, Fan Zijin knew that he had achieved half of his goal today.
The other half was to teach his son how to showcase his strengths.
Although he despised his son in front of Little Madam Xia, he was actually very proud of him.
In his opinion, while Tiger Head and Little Lion were brave and valiant, his son was wise and brave.
Judging by how he was able to command everyone to cooperate at such a young age, it could be seen how intelligent he was.
In terms of martial arts, his son naturally couldnât compare to Qi Haoranâs sons.
However, in terms of intelligence, Qi Haoranâs three sons combined couldnât compare to Little An.
What he wanted to teach his son was to find his position in the team and not belittle himself.
Fan Zijinâs analysis made Little Anâs eyes sparkle.
He had always been the think tank in the three-person team.
After this incident, he was even more certain of this position.
In the future, whenever the three little ones caused trouble behind their backs, it was Little An who directed from behind.
It made Fan Zijin extremely vexed about todayâs conversation.
If he had known that he would lead his son astray, he would never have said these words to him today.
Little An looked at his fatherâs smiling eyes and had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.
âOkay.â After the father and son had a heartfelt and sincere conversation, Little An said softly, âDaddy, can I sleep with you?â As Fan Zijinâs heart was at its softest, he nodded repeatedly.
âOf course.
Father will carry you back to your room.â On the way back to his room, Fan Zijin said gently, âYour Fourth Uncle has already punished you, so itâs not appropriate for me to punish you again.
However, you pretended to be obedient when you were disobedient and lied to your Fourth Uncle.
As your father, I have no choice but to punish you.
Therefore, Iâll punish you for the two mistakes by making you write 400 words, okay?â Seeing that the father and son were getting along well, Little Madam Xia was relieved and held Little An to ask if he was injured.
Little An shook his head and said excitedly, âIâm not injured.
We were awesome.
After Brother Little Bear knocked them down with a branch, Tiger Head and Little Lion and I were in charge of knocking them unconscious.
The pirates were very easy to beat.â When Fan Zijin heard him describe the details of the battle, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
âBranch?
Thatâs a good weapon.
Unfortunately, it can only be wielded by someone with great strength.
Otherwise, it wonât be a good weapon but a burden.â Little Madam Xia heaved a sigh of relief and stroked his head.
âYou mustnât do such dangerous things in the future.
Weâll be worried.â Little An glanced at his father and lowered his head obediently to show that he knew he was wrong.
Little Madam Xia thought that Little An would be obedient for a few days after suffering a fright this time.
Unexpectedly, he woke up early the next day and continued to go to beachcomb.
Little Madam Xia asked helplessly, âIsnât beachcombing just picking up things?
Youâve been doing that for more than a month, havenât you had enough?â Little An defended himself.
âWeâre not playing.
Itâs serious business.
Weâre going to catch clams to raise pearls.â Little Madam Xia thought that it was just another novel idea of the children which they would discard after they got tired of it.
She said helplessly, âIâve never heard of pearls being raised.â If they could be raised, pearls would not be so precious.
Especially in recent years because of the maritime ban, the price of these sea treasures was getting higher and higher.
âSo we have to be the first!â Little Treasure shouted proudly.
He snatched the towel from his motherâs hand and wiped his face carelessly before throwing it away.
âMother, Iâm going to look for Tiger Head and the others.
They must be anxious from waiting.â Seeing that he was running out, Little Madam Xia quickly caught up and said, âYou should come back early to study.
Donât cause trouble like yesterday.â Little An responded and ran away.
Tiger Head and Little Lion were indeed waiting for him.
Because Little Bear was punished to not be able to ride a horse for five days, he was also sitting in the carriage.
When he saw Little An being carried up, he touched his hand.
Seeing that his hand was dry and hot, he was relieved.
With a wave of his hand, he said, âLetâs go.â They werenât going to beachcomb today.
Instead, they were going to Tao Shengâs house to find a good place in their village to dig a pool and raise pearls.
