At noon, Zhang Yuxi had something come up and couldn't make it back for lunch. Lin Feng was taking the other children to eat when he called Si Bao.

"Si Bao? Can you hear me? It's Dad."

"I can hear you, Dad. What's up?"

"What are you doing right now? Have you eaten?"

"I'm in the cafeteria eating. Wow, there are so many people here!"

"What are you eating?"

"Tofu, meat, vegetables, and soup."

"How does it taste?"

"It's okay, I guess. Not as delicious as what you make, Dad!"

"Remember to take a nap after you finish, okay? Get along well with your dorm mates, and if you run into any trouble, go find Teacher Qiao."

After hanging up, Lin Feng smiled at the others. "Come on, let's eat!"

After their meal, the children rested for a bit while Lin Feng washed the dishes. The kids were good about taking their naps and didn't need his supervision.

Lin Feng called Si Bao again. "Si Bao, are you going to take a nap now?"

"In a little bit. I'm playing with a new friend right now."

"Alright, but remember to get some sleep after you play for a while."

"Uh-huh. Dad, I'm hanging up now!"

Without Si Bao's constant chirping and bouncing around, the house felt strangely quiet. He still wasn't used to it. When San Bao and Zhang Yuxi had gone to Modu, it had also taken Lin Feng several days to adjust.

In the afternoon, Lin Feng set the rice cooker and prepped all the vegetables for dinner. Then, he drove to pick Si Bao up from school.

Coincidentally, Si Bao's new class was also Class 6. Seeing the smile on his son's face, Lin Feng felt a sense of relief.

Indeed, the moment Si Bao got in the car, he began telling Lin Feng all about his dorm mates. Lin Feng listened with a smile. Deep down, he was very gratified that his son was able to get along so well with the other kids.

When they got home, Zhang Yuxi and the other children had just arrived as well. The whole family had really missed Si Bao after not seeing him for a day. The children all sat together chatting while Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng listened in, asking a few questions from time to time.

That evening, Si Bao suddenly spoke up.

"Dad, I actually missed you guys a lot today!"

"But I'm a boy, so I have to be brave! That's why I tried not to think about it too much!"

"But... now that I see you, I miss you all over again."

Lin Feng affectionately stroked his son's head. "If you miss Dad, you can always call and tell me!"

"To be honest, Dad missed you a lot today, too. And so did Mom!"

A week later, Si Bao had completely adapted to his new school. The teachers and children were all very kind. Most of the students in his class were boys, and Si Bao got along well with all of them.

One day, the children came home from school talking about a new school activity. Their teachers were going to select some students to go with them to the countryside on Saturday to distribute stationery to the local children. Each class would send three representatives.

From Class 6, San Bao was chosen to go as a class officer.

From Class 8, Da Bao was going. Er Bao hadn't been selected; the spots went to the sports representative and the academic representative.

From Class 7, neither Xiao Rui nor Tian Tian were chosen. Since they had transferred in after the class officers were selected, they weren't considered.

Lin Feng asked, "Do parents need to go?"

"Nope, just us is enough!"

They had heard that the school would be giving out pencil cases, pencils, erasers, and textbooks. The higher grades would also receive backpacks. Everything had been purchased with class funds.

Lin Feng casually asked, "What about your old books and textbooks? Could you bring those along too?"

The two class presidents in the family immediately called their respective teachers. "Our teachers said it's okay, as long as the books aren't too old."

Lin Feng smiled. "Okay, go sort through your old things. You can give them to the kids in the countryside tomorrow."

A short while later, a message from a teacher appeared in the parent group chat, encouraging families to gather any unused extracurricular books and textbooks to bring to school the next day.

The group would depart from the school gate at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. On the way back, a bus would drop each student off at their home, so parents wouldn't need to pick them up.

At 6:30 p.m. that Saturday, Teacher Yue had to leave early for a prior engagement. It was Teacher Zhao from Class 8 who ended up bringing the Lin family's children home. They were in the last group to be dropped off, and by then, the sky was already growing dark.

Lin Feng invited Teacher Zhao to stay for dinner.

Da Bao tugged on her hand. "Please, Teacher Zhao? Stay for dinner!"

As Da Bao was the class president, he and Teacher Zhao had a very good relationship.

"That's so nice of you, but I'd hate to impose!" she said.

Everyone at the school knew the Lin family was wealthy, but they were also known for being down-to-earth and raising their children exceptionally well. Even so, Teacher Zhao was quite surprised when she arrived at their villa. She had expected there would be servants, but to her surprise, their father managed everything himself.

"Wow, are these the fruit trees you planted yourselves?"

"Yeah! The kids sometimes pick the apples and peaches to share at school."

Upon entering the house, Teacher Zhao found that the decor was both luxurious and incredibly warm and cozy. Far from being messy, everything was kept very neat and tidy.

Zhang Yuxi and San Bao were in the living room. Seeing Teacher Zhao come in, they greeted her with a smile. Zhang Yuxi had more time to drop off and pick up the children lately, so she had become quite familiar with both Teacher Zhao and Teacher Yue.

Teacher Zhao smiled back. "I hope I'm not intruding."

Zhang Yuxi shook her head. "Not at all, not at all!"

Lin Feng called out from the kitchen, "Dinner will be ready in a minute!"

At the dinner table, Teacher Zhao worried there might not be enough food.

Lin Feng laughed. "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao, I always make plenty. Please, eat as much as you like!"

Teacher Zhao latched onto the key point. Oh, so the father is the one who cooks?

Da Bao, eager to show off, said, "Teacher Zhao, you have to try this! Dad's cooking is the absolute best!"

San Bao also grew animated. "Yes, yes! You'll know as soon as you try it!"

Teacher Zhao took a bite, and her eyes lit up. "This is delicious! The flavor is really amazing!"

For Teacher Zhao, this meal felt like dining in a high-end restaurant. It's so good!
