Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 186 How are your grades?

Meanwhile, Zhao Yina opened her rosy little mouth wide, eagerly awaiting each bite of delicious food her father would bring.

Time passed quietly, and before long, the two innocent little girls had devoured all the food in their bowls.

At this moment, the clever Zhao Nana held her empty bowl high, waving it excitedly at her father, her face beaming with pride and satisfaction, and shouted loudly:

"Daddy, Daddy, look! I'm all full, the bowls are empty!"

Hearing his daughter's cheerful words, Zhaoyuan immediately stopped what he was doing and responded with a face full of doting affection:

"Oh my, our Nana is truly the most well-behaved and obedient child in the world!"

After receiving praise from her father, Zhao Nana smiled as brightly as a blooming flower.

Sitting in her stroller, Zhao Yina couldn't contain her joy and excitedly waved her two chubby little hands, seemingly trying to attract everyone's attention.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan quickly turned around and said softly to Zhao Yina:

"Haha, my baby Yina is the most well-behaved and adorable! Look, Yina's bowl is empty."

Hearing her father praise her in return, Zhao Yina danced with joy, filling the restaurant with the family's happy laughter.

"Zhaoyuan, look at these children, how happy they are! You really should spend more time with them. You can't just bury yourself in work all day long, after all, you can never earn enough money."

Aunt Zhong stood to the side, smiling at Zhao Yuan as she spoke.

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly in agreement:

"Yes, godmother, you're right. I understand. I'll try my best to come home for dinner in the future."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhong's smile widened even more, and she replied with satisfaction:

"Yes, that's good. The children miss their father."

Just then, a clear bicycle bell rang out from the yard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Zhao sisters, Zhao Laidi and Zhao Zhaodi, riding their bicycles into the courtyard in a great hurry.

"Grandma, Mom, we're back!"

While shouting loudly, Zhao Laidi quickly jumped off her bicycle and parked it neatly against the wall.

She looked up and saw her father, Zhaoyuan, standing at the restaurant entrance. Overjoyed, she ran over to him.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Lai Di was already in front of Zhao Yuan. Without saying a word, she opened her arms and hugged him tightly. Then she kissed Zhao Yuan's cheek heavily and called out coquettishly:

"Dad~"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zhaodi parked her bicycle steadily and walked towards the restaurant at a leisurely pace.

Zhao Yuan responded with a smile and loving eyes:

"Oh, my darling daughters are back! Go wash your hands, let's get ready to eat."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, the two sisters' faces lit up with bright smiles, like flowers blooming in spring.

They happily put down their heavy schoolbags, then walked briskly to the sink, carefully washing their hands in preparation for enjoying their delicious meal.

"Grandpa isn't coming home for dinner again. Our family hasn't had a proper meal together in ages!"

Zhao Laidi pouted and grumbled unhappily. A hint of disappointment flickered in her big, round eyes.

Zhao Yuan, who was standing nearby, quickly comforted her:

"Grandpa has been busy with hotel matters lately, and your uncle is also on a business trip to Shanghai, so Grandpa naturally has more things to handle on his own. But don't worry, Grandpa should be back soon."

At this moment, Zhao Laidi suddenly looked up at her father, blinked, and asked:

"Dad, are we still short of money? Can we not earn so much money?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her mother, Lin Fangfang, glared at her fiercely and said sternly:

"Laidi, you're not allowed to talk to your father like that!"

However, her older sister, Zhao Zhaodi, remained silent and simply stood aside, listening quietly to everyone's conversation.

Zhao Yuan gently patted Zhao Laidi's head and explained earnestly:

“Laidi, Dad’s company isn’t just for Dad and Grandpa. There are many other children’s parents working here too. If Dad doesn’t work hard and earn money, he won’t be able to pay them on time. If that happens, many children’s parents will lose their jobs. Once they lose their jobs, their families will have no source of income, and those children won’t be able to focus on their studies.”

"Okay, we understand."

Zhao Laidi frowned slightly, her tone still carrying a hint of displeasure as she spoke.

"Zhaodi, you're in high school now, how's it going? If there's anything your parents can help you with, be sure to tell us!"

Zhao Yuan asked his eldest daughter with a concerned expression. He knew in his heart that his eldest daughter had been a quiet and reserved child since she was a child.

"It's fine, Dad. You and Mom don't need to worry about me. I can handle everything myself."

Zhao Zhaodi smiled faintly and said to her father.

"Okay, that's good. If you encounter any difficulties or tricky situations, remember to ask your dad and mom for help!"

Zhao Yuan nodded and then gave further instructions.

"Okay, I understand, Dad."

Zhao Zhaodi nodded obediently in response.

"Dad, why didn't you ask me if I needed any help?"

Zhao Zhaodi suddenly pouted and complained, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

"Oh dear, of course Dad will ask you! I just finished asking your sister, and now it's your turn! Tell Dad, how are your grades doing lately?"

Zhao Yuan quickly explained with a smile, then turned his gaze to his youngest daughter.

"Hmph, Dad, you always believe my sister has better grades, but I've always worked very hard too! Let me tell you, I got third place in the whole grade this time!"

Zhao Zhaodi raised her head proudly, her eyes sparkling with pride.

"Wow, our Princess Zhaodi is amazing! She's made such great progress again this time!"

With a smile on his face, Zhao Yuan reached out and gently patted Zhao Zhaodi's head, his eyes filled with love and relief.

"But, I know very well that I'm still far behind my older sister. I'm a self-aware person, but that's okay. I will definitely keep learning from my older sister and one day I will surpass her!"

Zhao Laidi smiled mischievously at Zhao Zhaodi, and didn't forget to make a cute face.
