The teacher was quite perceptive, simply glossing over the awkward question. The rest of the introduction involved school details, including fees and educational plans, which were clearly explained.
"Basically, that's all about the school. I can only say that students who come here will love it. Both the atmosphere and the teachers' care for the students are things parents can be extremely reassured about."
The bespectacled teacher seemed very confident, not like they were exaggerating. Liu Yifeng and Su Wanru were relatively satisfied.
"Alright, teacher, we've got a general understanding. Thank you for the introduction. I think we'll discuss it further and give you our answer in three days."
Liu Yifeng remained silent throughout, not offering any of his own thoughts, which worried Su Wanru a little.
"What do you think of this school?"
As it was already evening, the two found a casual restaurant and discussed the school matters.
Liu Yifeng took a sip of water. "Overall, it seems acceptable. However, we still need to let Tong Tong see it and get his genuine satisfaction before we can finalize anything."
Su Wanru agreed with Liu Yifeng's sentiment. After all, they were choosing a school for Tong Tong, and his satisfaction was the most important thing.
"But I still want to thank you for being so attentive to Tong Tong's matter and for prioritizing our proximity when choosing a place so close to us."
Liu Yifeng had to admit, he was a very considerate person, noticing many details clearly, which surprised Su Wanru.
"There's really nothing to it. We've looked at many schools, and this one was chosen after comprehensive consideration. It aligns with my expectations in various aspects, which is why I decided to bring you to see it. If you feel there are no issues and Tong Tong also likes it, I hope he can enroll as soon as possible."
He was worried about his academic progress lagging since he had graduated from kindergarten quite some time ago, fearing it would make things difficult for him.
Su Wanru's concern was valid, but Liu Yifeng wasn't worried about that aspect. He knew his own son best; if his son didn't know something, then perhaps no one else would.
"Okay, I'll talk to Tong Tong about it when we get home. Once he confirms, I'll give you my answer." Liu Yifeng finished speaking as their ordered food arrived.
After dinner, Liu Yifeng and Su Wanru parted ways.
He checked the time and, feeling it was late, didn't return to the company and went straight home.
"You're home from work so early today?" He arrived home just in time; father and son were eating.
"Daddy, you're back! Have you eaten? Come try Grandpa's newly invented apple rice." Tong Tong excitedly shared the dinner Liu Chunsheng prepared for his beloved grandson in various creative ways every day.
Liu Yifeng looked at the fried rice, which indeed looked appetizing. However, he had already eaten and couldn't possibly eat anymore.
"You guys eat first, I've already eaten outside. Tong Tong, come find me after you finish eating. I have something to discuss with you." He hadn't mentioned the school matter to Liu Chunsheng yet, so he needed to avoid him when discussing it.
Tong Tong obediently agreed, and he almost guessed what they were going to talk about.
"What's going on with your dad? He's being so secretive. Did you get into trouble?" Liu Chunsheng looked at his son's somber expression and didn't dare to ask further, wondering if his grandson had done something wrong.
Tong Tong shook his head and finished his rice obediently.
"Grandpa, I'm going to find Daddy now. You eat slowly."
Without waiting for Liu Chunsheng to ask anything else, he ran off.
"Daddy, is the school decided?" He opened the door, saw Liu Yifeng lying on his small bed, and climbed next to him.
Liu Yifeng nodded. "You're really my mind reader. Whatever I'm thinking, you know it clearly."
Tong Tong stuck out his tongue. "It's not hard to guess. You just talked to me about it yesterday, and today you're talking to me privately. It must be about the school, what else could it be?"
"Smart. Then tell Daddy, which school did you choose?" Liu Yifeng hadn't intended to ask this initially, but when he saw the browsing history of school searches on the computer in Tong Tong's room, he realized that a child as smart and opinionated as Tong Tong must have already had a school he wanted to go to.
Tong Tong chuckled. "Daddy, you're really clever. But I bet you've been on my computer, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking me this."
His blinking eyes proved that this child had his own opinions. Could this be something a three or four-year-old child would say? Yet, here he stood before you, and you had to admit he was indeed a child.
"Tong Tong, Daddy didn't mean to, but I suddenly feel like I don't understand you. If Tong Tong already had a school he wanted to go to, you should have told me immediately so I could negotiate with Auntie. Daddy wants to choose a school you like, with your preferences as the top priority."
Liu Yifeng knew that before Tong Tong turned three, he had been forced by Yun Duoer to attend various cram schools and interest classes. He disliked that kind of life, but the basic process of attending school still had to happen.
Tong Tong could tell that Liu Yifeng seemed a little unhappy.
"Daddy, Tong Tong didn't mean to. It's just that Tong Tong felt since Auntie said she would help find a school, it would be a waste of Auntie's effort if Tong Tong suddenly said he wanted to go to a specific school. So I thought it would be better to let Auntie look first, and I believe she would definitely focus on my preferences when searching."
Tong Tong's words silenced Liu Yifeng again. It was truly heart-wrenching that this little one always thought of others.
"Tong Tong, Daddy understands your thoughts, but I want to say that this is about finding a school for you. Even if they already have a specific school in mind, if Tong Tong doesn't like it, Daddy will refuse it."
Liu Yifeng's words were clear: Tong Tong came first, and no one else's opinion could hinder Tong Tong's desires.
"Daddy, thank you. However, I am also very satisfied with the school Auntie found. I've also looked up information about this school online. I'm sure when Daddy sees it in person, he'll agree it's what I like." He then smiled at Liu Yifeng, as if trying to appease him.
Seeing that the boy already knew, Liu Yifeng didn't say anything more and continued to pretend to be angry. "You little rascal, you can't do this again next time. Auntie's intentions are certainly important.
However, your thoughts are also what she wants to know. Because she doesn't interact with you much, she arranged for me to go with you to see if it fits your ideas.
Next time, try to directly express your thoughts to Auntie. It will save a lot of trouble."
