Chapter 32 Self-reliant Xiaoxiao, the National Darling!
The more Du Chun thought about these things, the angrier he became.
With a stern face, he scolded, “Dan Jiao, listen to yourself, what are you saying?”
“You really don’t understand, do you?”
“Your dad works harder and is more exhausted! Have I ever complained?”
“I stay up late, wake up early, and put in the effort to make breakfast for you!”
“Everything your dad does, what is it for?”
“It’s all for you, for this family, that’s why I wake up early…”
As Du Chun spoke more and more passionately, his voice grew louder. He glanced at Dan Jiao, who was lowering her head and saying nothing. The fire in his heart was rising. He tried to suppress it several times but couldn’t.
With a cold face, Du Chun continued to scold, “You don’t understand the hardships and concerns your dad has.”
“Instead, you criticize and complain that I woke you up, it’s really disappointing!”
“If I didn’t make breakfast in the morning, what would you eat and drink?”
“Wouldn’t you go hungry?”
“What you’re saying makes me really sad!”
At this emotional outburst, Dan Jiao felt extremely ashamed and lowered her head in guilt. Her eyes welled up with tears as she lifted her head. She gently shook her father’s arm.
“Sorry, Dad! I didn’t mean to!”
“Dad, you’ve worked hard! I won’t be so thoughtless again!”
“Please forgive me, okay?”
“Really, I promise I’ll be good and listen from now on…”
As Dan Jiao apologized, Du Chun’s stern face softened slightly. He sighed and, with a patient tone, continued to educate her.
“Dan Jiao, I’m not blaming you!”
“I just want to teach you to always think of others.”
“Don’t just think about yourself; think about others too!”
“Your dad is always doing things for your own good, I don’t mean to hurt you.”
“So, you must learn from me, don’t just consider yourself.”
After this lecture, seeing Dan Jiao’s shameful expression, Du Chun finally nodded in satisfaction. As time was getting late.
“Alright, that’s enough, let’s eat!”
However, Du Chun’s way of educating his daughter upset many netizens.
Teaching a child like this early in the morning, making the child cry, resulted in the child losing her good mood for the rest of the day!
“Is he crazy? This is typical PUA behavior!”
“What’s so wrong with a child wanting to sleep a little longer?”
“Exactly, why lecture her so early in the morning? What’s he trying to do?”
“I’m totally fed up with this! I’ve seen enough!”
“But don’t you think it’s super realistic? It’s the same in my family… Boohoo…”
“I don’t know what you’re complaining about. What’s wrong with Du Chun’s education?”
“Why is everyone so negative? It’s just a live stream!”
“But from my perspective, Dan Jiao really doesn’t understand!”
“She doesn’t appreciate her dad’s efforts, only complains, it’s so frustrating to watch!”
“Young people these days only care about their own pleasure and don’t care about their parents!!”
For a moment, the audience was in heated debate.
In the Studio, the education expert, seeing the scrolling comments, furrowed his brows tightly, as if he could crush a fly with them. His words were sharp.
“Some people are severely criticizing Du Chun.”
“They do this simply because you’re not parents, and you don’t understand the efforts parents put in!”
“Everything they do is for their children!”
“There’s no such thing as a parent who isn’t doing their best!”
Zhang Dada nodded in agreement.
“Parents always work silently behind the scenes.”
“But the child doesn’t appreciate it, so they have to say something!”
“I think Du Chun did well.”
“He needs to make the child realize their mistake so they can correct it in the future.”
“When it’s time to educate, you must educate.”
The other education expert frequently nodded too, agreeing that Zhang Dada’s point made a lot of sense. That was the reality.
If a child doesn’t see their parents’ efforts, it will only lead to bad habits. That would be bad for the child.
Another expert spoke up.
“Although Du Chun’s voice was a bit loud,”
“He didn’t hit the child, which is already quite rational.”
“Back in our day,”
“How could parents care like this?”
“And even say such heartfelt words?”
“It was impossible, back then, they’d hit you with a stick!”
“The rod brings out a filial child! The ancients were right!”
Wang Bingbing, hearing this, froze.
Oh my god! What era is this?
They still believe in “the rod brings out a filial child?”
This feels a bit unhealthy!
Although she thought this, she expressed her opinion more tactfully.
“I don’t think that’s correct!”
“Children need to sleep more to promote growth.”
“And, Dan Jiao was just offering an opinion!”
“But Du Chun immediately started lecturing without any context?”
“This will only make the child feel guilty and full of regret!”
“Even worse, it could lead to self-isolation, resulting in low self-esteem and weakness…”
Wang Bingbing’s comments garnered quite a bit of support!
Just then, the screen switched to Gu Xu. Due to an influx of new viewers, everyone was curious to see what would happen there. The live stream was buzzing with excitement.
“This side looks so depressing! I have no desire to continue watching!”
“Exactly! I can’t watch it, it’s too uncomfortable!”
“We’re all here for Gu Xu!”
“By the way, where’s Xiaoxiao? Where did she go?”
“Could it be… Gu Xu overslept again?”
…
When the screen switched to Gu Xu’s side, the number of comments surged. The hype kept growing!
Although Du Chun and his daughter weren’t on screen yet, their discussion had already begun!
The heat was explosive!
The comments were lively.
After a few seconds, the scene appeared. The audience burst into laughter!
There was no sign of Gu Xu in the scene. Instead, Xiaoxiao was in the kitchen, taking out boiled eggs. The little one was standing on a small stool. Her face was tight, lips pursed, Her expression tense, focused on the pot. She held a slotted spoon, as if doing something very important.
After turning off the stove, the little one moved cautiously. She carefully scooped the eggs out and quickly placed them in a bowl of cold water.
Once done, Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief. The little one smiled, showing her white teeth.
She muttered, “I’m really awesome!”
“Another successful day today!”
“So happy!”
After the eggs cooled for a few seconds, Xiaoxiao skillfully took kitchen paper and wiped the water off the surface of the eggs.
“These eggs are so round and perfect.”
“They look so tasty!”
“How am I so amazing?”
