    Chapter 111 Raising This Little Guy Is Truly Therapeutic

    Su Taotao paused for a moment, then smiled.

    Fu Haochen, the little guy, was sitting in his stroller on Fu Yuanhang's right, taking up the aisle.

    When Su Taotao arrived, the silver-haired Chinese teacher was leading the students in reciting poetry. Chenchen was also swaying his head and following along, his little face serious, making him the most attentive child in the class. During a pause, Su Taotao overheard him calling out to the classmate on his right, "Wrong~~"

    Fu Yuanhang, Uncle Mu, and the other students were all focused on the lesson but couldn't help laughing at his babyish voice.

    The Chinese teacher couldn't help but be drawn to the adorable little guy. Throughout the class, the teacher kept glancing at him. The little guy didn't have a textbook, and even if he did, he couldn't read, yet he recited so earnestly, as if he truly understood.

    Distracted, the teacher stopped and smiled, asking Chenchen, "What's your name? How old are you?"

    Chenchen, still a bit shy, quickly looked at his uncle.

    Fu Yuanhang squeezed his small, chubby hand to comfort him and said, "Teacher, this is my little nephew, Chenchen. He just turned two."

    The teacher then pointed to the classmate on Chenchen's right and asked, "Chenchen, you said he was wrong. What did he get wrong?"

    Chenchen replied in his babyish voice, "It's Guanque Tower~~ not Huangque Tower~~"

    The teacher was surprised that he actually answered and looked at the classmate.

    The classmate blushed and said, "Sorry, I read it wrong."

    The teacher was even more astonished and asked, "Do you know this poem? Did someone at home teach you?"

    The little guy didn't even look two, and his speech wasn't very clear.

    Chenchen shook his head, "You taught me~~"

    The teacher was stunned, then burst out laughing, asking, "Can you recite it then?"

    Chenchen nodded and began to sway his head as he recited, "The sun~~ sets behind the mountains~~ the Yellow River~~ flows into the sea..."

    He finished reciting the entire "Climbing Guanque Tower."

    The teacher clapped, visibly moved, "Good, good. A strong youth makes a strong nation. Students, you should all learn from Chenchen. He is attentive and focused in class, so he easily remembers the content. You must not be outdone by a two-year-old."

    The students who hadn't been paying attention hung their heads in shame. There were other children in the class who had brought their younger siblings, some older than Chenchen, but none were paying attention.

    Su Taotao thought to herself that perhaps only Chenchen believed he was there to attend class.

    Back in the village, Chenchen would also follow Fu Yuanhang to class.

    However, Chenchen was reluctant to speak then, and his personality wasn't as outgoing as it is now. He spent most of his time lost in his own world. Now, Chenchen was like a pearl covered in dust, shining brightly once the dust was wiped away, captivating everyone's attention.

    Su Taotao looked at her little treasure with a motherly smile, not wanting to disturb the class, and was about to leave quietly.

    But then—

    "Mommy~~"

    The child spotted Su Taotao with his sharp eyes, his little voice filled with excitement.

    Su Taotao's plan failed, and she raised her hand to her forehead. The child was so excited that he started waving his arms, and if Fu Yuanhang hadn't quickly grabbed the stroller's handle, it would have rolled forward.

    Su Taotao thought to herself that if only Fu could add a brake to the stroller, it would be perfect.

    Su Taotao had to apologize to the teacher, "I'm sorry, teacher, for disturbing your class. I'll take him with me now."

    The Chinese teacher was surprised when he saw Su Taotao, and then looked at the little child and Fu Yuanhang, thinking of Fu. This family really stands out. In his many years of teaching, he had never seen such a beautiful and intelligent little child.

    Fu Yuanhang is also an excellent student with good character and academic performance. He listens attentively in class, never gets distracted, his homework is neat and excellent, his handwriting is good, and it is said that he is also good at drawing.

    The Chinese teacher said kindly, "No problem, class is almost over."

    Su Taotao hesitated to enter the classroom, so Fu Yuanhang got up and escorted Chenchen out.

    Su Taotao ruffled the child's hair, and the child smiled with squinted eyes.

    "Do you have another class?" Su Taotao asked Fu Yuanhang.

    Fu Yuanhang nodded, "Yes, there's another math class."

    Su Taotao said, "Then pay attention in class, and meet us at the cafeteria after class. Remember to drink more water."

    Fu Yuanhang nodded, "Got it, sis."

    Su Taotao smiled and nodded to the Chinese teacher, then led Chenchen away.

    Fu Yuanhang returned to his seat, and his classmate behind him whispered, "Fu Yuanhang, your sister-in-law is really pretty, just like Chenchen."

    This classmate is quite familiar with Fu Yuanhang—he's Kangzi, the one who gave him the white rabbit. It was his first time seeing Su Taotao.

    His deskmate also nodded upon hearing this, "Yeah, yeah."

    Fu Yuanhang replied expressionlessly, "Pay attention, or my two-year-old nephew will outdo you."

    Kangzi: "..." As if studying hard would keep him from being outdone.

    ...

    After they were far from the classroom, Su Taotao pulled out a small straw hat from the stroller and put it on the child, then poured some water for him to drink.

    "You did great today, even learned to recite a poem."

    "Yeah~~" The child nodded slowly, not shy about it at all.

    Su Taotao didn't know what to say.

    "Do you enjoy coming to class with your uncle?"

    Chenchen didn't like it before, but after today, he started to like it: "Kind of~~"

    Su Taotao couldn't help but pinch his chubby cheek, "You know what 'a little bit' means? What does it mean?"

    The child thought his mom had finished her work and came to pick him up specially, so he was very happy, and showed a small section of his index finger, "Just a tiny bit~~"

    Su Taotao couldn't help but laugh, this little guy is really heartwarming.

    As they passed the guard post, the old man came over to help lift the stroller again, and Chenchen thanked him again.

    The old man said, "Director Su, my nephew just brought me some food, and I told him you wanted to meet him. He agreed, when do you have time?"

    Su Taotao said, "If not this afternoon, then it will have to be Monday, I won't be on the island tomorrow."

    The old man said regretfully, "I should have asked him to wait for you here just now."

    Su Taotao said, "No hurry, there's still some time before the factory starts production. How about this, the factory's address is behind the big cafeteria, I'll be there on Monday to check on the construction. If your nephew is free, he can come to find me there anytime, if it's mealtime, I should be in the cafeteria."

    The old man nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I will definitely convey the message, thank you Director Su, thank you."

    Su Taotao had already said not to call her Director Su, but the old man still couldn't change.

    Forget it, she is a director after all, and she might even become a big director someday.
