“Hey...

obedient to what?”

Brother Wang gave a helpless smile:

“I used to tell Lin Xian, she’s as stubborn as a donkey, you tell her east, she insists west, always has to oppose you in everything.”

“Raising children, you truly understand the joy of being a parent, and that’s just the first few years after birth.

Just wait till she grows up and has her own ideas, then you can’t control her anymore…”@@@@

“Nowadays, sometimes when I flip through photos of my daughter from when she was little, I can’t help but look a little longer, think about how cute she was back then, and then think about how rebellious she is now.

Sigh...

I really have a feeling of hoping she never grows up.”

“You don’t mention it, and I couldn’t even remember the last time my daughter talked to me, it must have been several days, right?

And whenever she speaks to me, it’s nothing but asking for money, I wonder where the school gets off charging so much for material costs, tutoring fees, milk fees, class fees, water fees...”

Hehehehehe.

...

As he was speaking, Brother Wang couldn’t help but smile:

“Actually, we all know, schools charging so often, it must be the kids looking for excuses to scam some pocket money.

This trick has been played since we were kids, how could parents not see through it, it’s just letting it go.”

Zhao Yingjun looked at Brother Wang’s genuine smile, naturally understanding that despite all his complaining, he really loved and adored his daughter.

She smoothed her windswept hair and turned her head towards the setting sun merging with the city skyline:

“I’m more curious, what’s it like, the moment a man knows he’s become a father?”

“Hmm...”

Brother Wang rubbed his hands, thought for a moment, and said with pursed lips:

“To tell the truth, I didn’t feel anything real, not the slightest feeling.”

He too turned around, leaning on the railing:

“Because their world is so small, one toy is that important, losing it could feel like the sky falling.

Compared to that, my daughter was sensible, she held back her tears, didn’t cry, waited until I came home from work in the evening, then threw herself in my arms, sobbing and sniffling—”

“‘Daddy, I really didn’t want to let him play...'”

Talking about this incident,

Brother Wang seemed a bit melancholic, rubbing his nose:

“Now you’re hearing me talk about this, you might not feel much empathy, seems like just nonsense, trivial stuff, kids fighting.

But it was at that moment, I felt what it was to be a father, I realized there was such a small person who needed protection, needed me to back her up, needed me to be her support.”

“From then on, my identity and my awareness changed in that moment, I really moved from being a boy to a man, from a man to a father.”

“Seriously, this transition in role for a man can’t be forced...

really, being a dad isn’t like being a mom, mothers can feel the baby’s presence in pregnancy, have those initial communications.”

“As for the role of a father, it’s always a bit slower, a bit duller.

But the day comes eventually, with continual interactions with the child, a man will eventually take up his responsibilities, shoulder the burden, and become a tower of strength as a father.”

...

Listening to Brother Wang’s account,

the last of the sunlight was also disappearing behind the horizon.

Zhao Yingjun silently nodded:

“Sometimes, it’s also slow for a woman to step into the role of a mother.”

“Ah?”

Listening, Brother Wang burst into laughter:

“That’s probably not the case, hey...

I see what you are concerned about, you’re worried about that, huh?

I understand, these days, many young people don’t want children, feeling they lack the patience, lack the affection.”
