The sum was setting in the west.
At the Jiang family, Jiang Ping looked at the gradually darkening sky and shook his head helplessly.
His three daughters were too energetic. They had gone out in the moming, and yet they still hadn’t returned home when the sun was about to set.
Jiang Ping sighed and said, “Uncle Zhong, go and ask around tomorrow to see if there are any good schools in this Fusheng City. We must send Wan’er and the rest to school as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, they will be out all the time as they won’t be able to stay idle for even a moment. According to their character, they will get into trouble sooner or later.”
“Fusheng City is unlike Xiaoyu Town. There are all kinds of people here, so it’s better to be cautious.”
“Yes, I will go and find out tomorrow,” replied Chen Zhong as he quickly bowed.
Then, he smiled and said, “However, you don’t have to worry too much. Although Miss Wan’er and her siblings are a little mischievous, they are all kind and warm-hearted. They will definitely not cause any trouble.”
Jiang Ping waved his hand and said, “I’m just afraid that they are too warm-hearted. They don’t know anything, but they want to get involved in everything!”
“You don’t have to say anything more about this matter. Just do as I say.”
Just as Chen Zhong was about to agree, Jiang Ping suddenly sat up straight. His face darkened and he shouted over Chen Zhong, “Stop!”
“Wan’er, Yan’er, and Liver, you guys still know to come back? I thought you guys had forgotten about this family!”
The three young girls, who were tiptoeing and planning to sneak back into the room, suddenly stopped. When they heard their father’s angry tone, they knew that they would not be able to escape this scolding.
They quickly put on a cute expression and pounced on Jiang Ping.
“Dad!”
The three girls were like octopuses, hanging on Jiang Ping’s body in a strange posture.
“Dad, I have so much fun today!” said Wan’er.
“Dad, I miss you so much!” said Yan‘er.
“Dad, I am hungry,” said Liver.
The three girls were chattering and mumbling, not giving Jiang Ping a chance to speak at all.
However, Jiang Ping had experienced this so many times. Although he was still unable to resist their coquettish acts, his resistance was definitely much better than before.
“Cough cough.”
He coughed twice and deliberately put on a straight face. He pushed the three girls away from him one by one and put them on the ground.
He said in a deep voice, “Alright, don’t think that just because you are giving me sweet talk now, I will let you off.”
“Do you remember what you promised me when you went out this morning? You promised that you would definitely come home before lunch, but what happened in the end? You’re back only after dinner.”
“Tt seems to me that there’s too much fun outside, and you’ve forgotten about your family and me!”
“No, no!”
The three little girls were shocked and quickly waved their small hands to deny it.
“You’re the best. I will never forget you, never!” said Wan’er.
Yan’er followed suit and said, “Me too. I will never forget you too.”
“Dad, I will never forget you and I’ll think of you all the time,” said Liver.
Looking at his daughters explaining anxiously, Jiang Ping finally felt a little better.
Fortunately, his effort to raise them was not in vain. They still had some conscience.
But on the surface, he pretended to be angry and said, “Then why did you play outside all day?”
“Tell me, what did the three of you do today? You can’t hide or lie to me, or else I will be angry!”
“Dad, don’t be angry. I am the most obedient so I won’t hide or lie to you.” Yan’er promised as she quickly patted her small chest.
“We went to eat skewers, ice cream, stinky tofu…we even played nesting dolls, threw darts, and…”
As she spoke, Yan’er suddenly revealed a troubled expression.
Was she going to tell him about Wan’er getting into a fight with someone?
‘Dad used to say that after taking benefits from others, one had to be deliberately courteous and not to tell tales about them. Now that I have eaten the stinky tofu that Wan’er had offered, I had promised to help her keep it a secret. If I tell Dad, I’l be one who can’t keep a promise.’
‘But if I don’t tell him, then I’ll be lying to Dad, and I’ll not be the most obedient daughter. I’m so conflicted!”
Jiang Ping saw the conflicted look on Yan’er’s face, and he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart. He hurriedly said, “Yan’er, what else? You’ve said before that you’re my most obedient daughter, so you absolutely can’t hide it from me.”
“Also, we competed with a few girls in throwing darts!”
Wan’er knew that if this continued, Yan’er would definitely sell her out. Hence, she was anxious and blurted out.
“A dart throwing competition?”Jiang Ping raised his eyebrows.
“Yes, they are older than me but they are not as good as me. So I defeated them easily!” Wan’er said with a proud face.
Jiang Ping looked at Yan’er and Liv’er. Seeing that they both nodded, he was relieved.
He couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. He chuckled and said, “Wan’er, don’t brag. I know how good you are. How can you win?”
“Hmph, if you don’t believe me, then forget it.” Wan’er placed her hands on her hips and twisted her face. She pretended to be angry and snorted.
She only said that she beat those girls. She did not specifically say that she won them in throwing darts. But if Dad thought so, it was not because she was lying!
Looking at his daughter’s cute and arrogant attitude, Jiang Ping’s love for her grew. He hugged Wan’er in his arms and kissed her red little face, he smiled and said, “Okay, I believe you.”
Wan’er immediately beamed with joy and smiled proudly. She hugged Jiang Ping’s neck and kissed him on the side of his handsome face.
“We also want a kiss!”
Yan’er and Liu’er were not willing to lag behind and quickly jumped up and down to beg for a hug.
“Okay, okay, okay. Everyone will get it. Don’t be anxious, don’t squeeze…”
The three young girls squeezed into Jiang Ping’s arms and played around.
Jiang Ping was very happy and he had a huge smile on his face. Then, he said, “However, the three of you had played far too much today. You were not around for an entire day.”
“It has been half a month since we moved to Fusheng City. You have played long enough. It’s time for you to go to school.”
“Thave already instructed Uncle Zhong to find you a school tomorrow. In the future, you’ll be able to make more new friends. What do you think?”
“No!”
‘When they heard that they were going to school, their expressions suddenly changed.
“I don’t want new friends, I only want you, Dad. I must always keep you company!”
“We are the same. We must always keep you company, Dad!”
Jiang Ping smiled, but he wasn’t surprised.
His three daughters obviously didn’t want to go to school and used him as a shield!
However, this wasn’t up to them..
