With the departure of the restaurant staff one after another, it also means that the lunch business hours of the restaurant are completely over.

Huang Tao and others also ushered in a belated lunch.

"Let's eat~"

When all the dishes were served, Huang Tao greeted him, sat down, and picked up the fast child.

Song Cailian and Xuanxuan moved Kuaizi at the same time, and one of them sandwiched a Kuaizi dish for him and put it in his bowl.

"I'm tired all morning, eat more." Song Cailian said with a loving face.

"Baba, hard work!"

Xuanxuan's beautiful eyes were slightly curved, her lips pursed, and a soft smile was raised slightly, and the dimples on her white cheeks were shallow.

Hearing this, Huang Tao's heart warmed slightly.

It's a good feeling to be cared for by your family~

"Alright, let's eat." Huang Tao ate the dishes in the bowl and felt sweet.

"Uh-huh~"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, and then smiled sweetly at the grandparents opposite: "Grandma, grandpa, you can try this West Lake vinegar fish, it's usually hard to eat~"

After speaking, he looked at the grandparents expectantly.

She likes it so much, she likes others to praise her father!

Which one you never get tired of hearing!

Huang Yide added a piece of West Lake vinegar fish, tasted it, and his eyes lit up again: "Well, it's delicious, it's even more delicious than the West Lake vinegar fish I ate at the food festival last time!" ”

Xuanxuan was very satisfied with her grandfather's praise.

She tilted her little head and looked at her grandmother expectantly, and she heard her asking, "Is it really better than at the food festival?" ”

"Really, if you taste it, it does taste better than last time!"

"If you don't say it, I'll taste it too!"

said.

Song Cailian took a piece of West Lake vinegar fish and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm~ It's so delicious, it's really better than the last time!"

Song Cailian nodded in agreement, and then praised again: "Xiao Tao's cooking skills have improved a lot!" ”

Xuanxuan's little face was overflowing with excitement: "The things made by Baba are super super delicious!" ”

When she spoke.

Huang Tao picked out a piece of fish meat with few spines for her, removed the remaining spines by the way, put it on her plate, and said softly: "Eat it, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, picked up the fast child and started.

Eating and eating.

Her eyes lit up as if she remembered something, and she leaned back to look at the bicycle parked in the corner not far away.

When Huang Tao saw it, he hurriedly reached out to support her back, so as not to fall down because she leaned too much and her center of gravity was unstable.

He whispered: "Xuanxuan, sit down well, don't move." ”

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes and told her father her thoughts: "Baba, after eating, I want to learn to ride a bicycle." ”

"Oh!"

After she said this, Huang Tao thought about the previous agreement with his daughter, and he nodded and said, "That's okay, when you eat well, Dad will accompany you." ”

Hearing this, Xuanxuan sped up her meal.

I finally finished lunch.

She couldn't wait to urge: "Baba, hurry up, come and learn to drive with me." ”

"Don't worry~"

Huang Tao looked at his daughter with an impatient look, and smiled helplessly: "Put on the cycling protective gear first, so that even if you accidentally fall down in the process of learning to drive, you won't hurt yourself, otherwise, it will hurt a lot." ”

As he spoke, he put on a helmet for Xuanxuan, and also put on elbow pads, knee pads, palm pads and other protective gear for her.

After getting dressed, he checked it again and made sure it was okay.

He also brought a parenting artifact, "a sweat-absorbing towel, and put it on her back."

When you sweat, you can rely on it to absorb sweat.

After everything was done, he took out the bicycle in the corner, pushed it outside the store, and then let her push it herself.

"Grandpa, grandma!"

With a bright smile on her face, Xuanxuan pushed her own exclusive bicycle a little awkwardly, called her grandparents together, and happily walked towards the square of the old street in the west of the city.

Because it was afternoon, the aunts who danced the square did not appear here, so the square was very empty.

Huang Tao kicked the bicycle to the ground.

Then he held the faucet with one hand and the cushion with the other, and asked Xuanxuan to carefully climb on the cushion and sit firmly.

According to her current height, the height of the cushion was adjusted moderately.

"Xuanxuan, put your little hands on the handles on both sides of the faucet, remember to hold the faucet, and then step forward on the pedals on both sides......"

Huang Tao demonstrated as he spoke, and then gave her a reassuring look: "You will ride forward boldly, and Dad will hold the back seat of the car and will not let it fall." ”

Don't look at Xuanxuan, she just looks like she can't wait to try.

But when she sat on the bicycle cushion, held the front of the bike, and stepped on the pedals, she couldn't help but feel a touch of fear in her heart.

She was both scared and nervous, and glanced sideways at her father, who was holding the dragon head with one hand and the tail grip of the cushion with the other, and said uneasily: "Baba, you must hold it tightly......"

"Don't be afraid, Dad is here!"

Huang Tao encouraged softly: "You just have to step forward bravely ......"

"Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, your father will support you." Song Cailian and her husband also gave her encouragement.

Xuanxuan nodded, mustered up her courage, and stepped on the pedal hard.

The bike started slowly and with difficulty with the force under her feet, and drove forward.

Huang Tao followed behind her, his left hand helping her control the direction of the faucet, and his right hand holding the saddle grip behind her, helping her push the bike forward hard.

It is precisely because of his thoughtful protection that Xuanxuan, a beginner, can ride a bicycle very steadily.

It also made her bolder slowly, and the action of stepping on the pedal slowly became proficient.

The amplitude has sped up a lot!

As soon as the speed of the car was fast, Huang Tao's hand holding the dragon head had to let go.

The bike shook as he let go of the faucet.

"Ah......h

Xuanxuan was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, feeling that she was about to fall to the ground in the next second.

However......

What she feared didn't happen.

Because Huang Tao's right hand still firmly grasps the saddle grip, he controls the bike steadily.

"Xuanxuan, you must hold the faucet well and keep your balance."

He raised the decibel level and instructed, "Now keep stepping forward." ”

After hearing her father's words, she opened her eyes at once, and when she saw that she hadn't fallen, her eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Hey?

It's all right~

Now, the courage that was almost scared off came back.

She obediently followed her father's instructions, held the faucet, kept her balance, and pressed forward with her foot pedals.

With the help of Huang Tao, Xuanxuan was like a light bird, riding round and round in the square.

Gradually......

She also quickly got the hang of the basics.

The faster you ride, the easier it gets.

Immersed in the joy of cycling, she couldn't help but let out a silver bell-like laugh.

"Baba, it's fun to ride a bike~"

Hearing the cheerful voice of his daughter, the corners of Huang Tao's mouth couldn't help but smile, he thought about it and asked, "Xuanxuan, you are riding very well now, then Dad let go now, you can ride by yourself, okay?" ”

"Okay!"

Xuanxuan nodded confidently.

Huang Tao slowly let go of his hand.

In the next second, the bicycle was directly out of his control, carrying Xuanxuan and continuing to drive forward.

But within a few meters, the bicycle began to shake, and Xuanxuan's loose nerves suddenly tensed, and the more nervous she was, the more she didn't know how to control it.

So......

The bike went off balance.

"Baba~Baba~"

She instinctively turned to her father for help.

Seeing that her entire center of gravity was tilted to one side, and when she was about to fall to the ground with the car, a pair of big hands suddenly held the dragon's head and stopped her waist respectively, so that she was spared from falling without anyone and the car.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? ”

Huang Yide and his wife, who were walking in the distance, saw each other and asked with concern from a distance.

"It's okay, it's just a little scary."

After Huang Tao responded, he straightened the bicycle.

He helped her straighten the safety helmet that was a little crooked, and asked with concern, "Are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid!"

She nodded like pounding garlic, and said in her heart: "I'm afraid." ”

Huang Tao asked again: "Then do you want to continue riding now?" ”

Xuanxuan lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before she opened her mouth and whispered, "Yes." ”

I almost fell, but it was really fun to ride, and it was rare that my dad was playing with me.

Huang Tao stretched out his hand to straighten the messy bangs on her forehead: "If you continue to ride, you may almost fall like just now, aren't you afraid?" ”

Xuanxuan's red little face suddenly wrinkled like a small bun.

The feeling of fear just now is vivid in my heart!

"That ......"

She pursed her lips and thought about it, when her father helped her just now, her car was riding steadily, and it didn't shake at all!

She raised her eyes to look at Huang Tao, and asked in a soliciting tone, "Baba, can you not let go?" If you don't let go, I won't fall. ”

This is indeed quite reasonable.

Baby!

Dad can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for a lifetime, you have to learn to be independent and strong!

He is very, very fond of Xuanxuan, but he is also unwilling to train Xuanxuan into a sick girl.

And if he keeps helping and not letting go, then how can he let her learn to ride on her own and not develop the habit of dependence?

Although he helped this time, he will never help again next time.

Even if he is very distressed!

After all, letting her learn to be independent and learn to be strong is what a father really needs to accomplish.

Huang Tao said with a smile: "But Dad can't always follow behind!" Look at the children in the neighborhood, which one wants his father to follow behind when he rides? ”

She blinked, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "Well, no! The kids all rode on their own. ”

"The reason why they ride on their own is because their dad lets go, and if their dad doesn't let go, it's hard for them to learn to ride, and of course, they've fallen a few times in the process."

Huang Tao stretched out his hand and gently touched Xuanxuan's helmet-wearing little head, and said with a smile and encouragement: "Xuanxuan, Dad hopes that you can learn to ride by yourself, and I hope you can become a brave, strong and independent child, Dad believes in you and will definitely be able to do it." ”

Xuanxuan bit her lip, and then her eyes showed a look of determination: "Baba, I will definitely learn well." ”

"Well, Daddy believes in you."

Huang Tao looked pleased: "I'll help you first, wait for you to ride more steadily, and then let go, and then if you feel the car shaking, and you are not sure to continue to get up, you can use your right foot to support the ground, so that you won't fall hard......"

"Hmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently.

Get in the car again.

As at the beginning, Huang Tao helped her hold the back seat, and after running two laps with her, he quietly let go of his hand without hesitation.

I didn't know that my father had let go, and she rode very steadily.

But when she came back and found that her father was standing without supporting her at all, there was a clear look of surprise in her eyes, and she didn't pay attention to it, and the bicycle shook.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and supported her foot to prevent her from falling hard.

Her eyes were instantly clouded with a layer of mist.

It hurts!

I want to cry!

But Xuanxuan doesn't cry,

Xuanxuan is a brave and strong child!

She looked sideways at Huang Tao, and Huang Tao encouraged: "Xuanxuan, you get up by yourself, you are already great." ”

"Uh-huh~"

She blinked, put her hands on the ground, climbed up, and lifted the bike up.

After falling two or three times, she finally mastered the art of cycling, and even when she lost her balance, she was able to support herself with her feet in time to stop falling.

Eventually, she was able to control her bike into the wind and circle around the square.

"Dad, grandpa, grandma, look...... I can ride~"

She was so happy that she laughed like a silver bell from time to time.
