Chapter 388 Change Taotao’s Family Name at the School Season!

Days pa.s.sed quickly. Ling Tianyi had arranged the affairs of the wedding very well. He was going to send Taotao to go to school on September 1st. Then he was going to register for marriage, and have the private s.p.a.ce of lovers with Xia Xiaoluo sweetly.

Only in these days, Ling Desheng and He Meishu, as well as the people of the Ouyang family, including Xia Xiaoluo, all opposed to send Taotao to the boarding school. After all, Taotao was only four years old. He jumped to the grade four of the primary school as well. It was really not suitable for him to live in the school.

However, Ling Tianyi insisted that his son needed to take some practice. Although he admitted that he had some selfish motives on sending Taotao to the boarding school. He wanted to have more time with Xia Xiaoluo alone. But he was more concerned about the cultivation of Taotao’s ability of independence.

Before September, Ouyang Mingyu decided to arrange Taotao to go to the best school in A City. The school was far away from the Ouyang family’s villa which was in the suburb. But it was simple for the Ouyang family to send a child to study whether they used a car, or bought an apartment in the downtown. Moreover, Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi’s villa as their wedding house was also not far from that school. The Ouyang family helped Xia Xiaoluo open the chain restaurants near Taotao’s primary school as well. So there was completely no problem for Taotao to attend a day school.

Ling Tianyi was really helpless. He had to try to pull Xia Xiaoluo to his side to fight against the pressure from the Ouyang family and the Ling family together. After all, the older generation were reluctant to send Taotao to go to the boarding school at such an early age.

Ling Tianyi let Taotao play with Ouyang Feng. He and Xia Xiaoluo went outside to go shopping and have dinner alone. Then they walked together to the lake in the city. They went boating in the lake.

“If Taotao comes with us, he will be very happy to go boating.” Xia Xiaoluo sighed.

“Xiaoluo, I want to talk about Taotao with you. That’s why I take you out alone today.” Ling Tianyi said directly.

Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ling Tianyi. She sighed, “You want to say it again that we should let Taotao go to the boarding school? No way! Taotao is too young. Grandpa and uncle do not agree, even Taotao’s grandparents of your side do not agree, either! Moreover, I am reluctant to let Taotao suffer the hards.h.i.+p at his early age as well. He can’t enjoy the warmth of the family.” Xia Xiaoluo expressed her att.i.tude.

“But, we can cultivate Taotao’s independent consciousness if he studies in the boarding school at his early age. It is helpful to his development.” Ling Tianyi was still arguing for it.

“Don’t be too selfish. You can’t make Taotao suffer the grievances, and you only want to have the private s.p.a.ce of us.” Xia Xiaoluo said something serious.

Ling Tianyi was stunned at that time. He didn’t mind someone saying that he was too selfish before. However, today what Xia Xiaoluo said made him really very sad. He loved Taotao very much. Since he knew the existence of Taotao, he had been looking forward to having the opportunity to provide Taotao with the best life and education. And now he decided to send Taotao to the private boarding school. He did not deny that after Taotao left, he could love Xia Xiaoluo more outrageously. But it was not the priority. His starting point was to cultivate Taotao’s independent ability.

After a long time, Ling Tianyi just said to Xia Xiaoluo. “Xiaoluo, do you really think that I am that kind of person? Will I make Taotao feel wronged only for myself?”

“I…” Xia Xiaoluo did not know how to answer him. But she saw that Ling Tianyi’s expression was serious and disappointed. She knew what she said just now was too arbitrary and too serious.

“I’m sorry. I don’t want to suspect your motivation!” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head with guilt.

“Xiaoluo, I won’t deny that after Taotao go to the boarding school, I will be happier because we can have more time staying together. However, I make this decision because I really want to cultivate Taotao’s independent character. Taotao is very excellent, but our families spoil him too much. You think about it. In your Ouyang family, Taotao is the favorite child of your grandpa, and he is the apple in your uncle’s eyes. And you also saw what my parents did that day. Taotao did not have breakfast, so my mother arranged a table of dishes, including the Chinese style and Western style. If they go on spoiling Taotao like this, Taotao will be spoiled by them.”

“I like my son, and I love my son. I also want to spoil him. However, I don’t want him to receive too much love when he is so young. It’s bad for his development. I hope that he can become an elite, not a dandy when he grows up.”

“Besides, the school I contacted allows the students to go home every week. We can pick Taotao up on Friday afternoon and send him to school on Sunday evening. Taotao can stay with us for two days per week. In these two days, we can give him the most love. He will not feel aggrieved. He will only become more independent, more confident, and more powerful in the process.”

“Xiaoluo, I really hope that Taotao can be good. I really love my son!”

Ling Tianyi said a lot of words. In fact, he had said these words for a few times, but other people ignored him every time. But this time, it was different. When Ling Tianyi said this, his eyes were full of tears without any wild and intractable intention as before. It seemed that these words were from the bottom of his heart.

“I believe in you!” Xia Xiaoluo held Ling Tianyi’s hands. “I’m sorry. I was just reluctant to apart with Taotao. I said that because I was so anxious.”

Ling Tianyi held Xia Xiaoluo in his arms and continued saying, “I made such a decision after I discussed with well-known education experts, I have thought about it for a long time.”

“Well! As long as it’s good for Taotao, I’ll support you. Taotao is our child. We can make the decision for him. I’ll persuade my grandpa and my uncle, you’re responsible for persuading Taotao’s grandparents.” Xia Xiaoluo said seriously.

“OK!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. “But, I’ll observe Taotao for a month to see whether he can adapt to the school life.”

“I will find a way to persuade Taotao. Taotao is actually very brave, and he is very motivated. As long as we encourage him more, he will accept this challenge.” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“But, you have to promise me one thing!” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“OK! Tell me about it.” Ling Tianyi answered hurriedly.

“If Taotao really can’t adapt to the school, we’ll take him back to the ordinary school. Compared with training Taotao to become an elite, I hope that Taotao can grow safely and happily. If Taotao is not happy, or his body can’t afford it, I will not be so cruel to let him stay in the boarding school.” Xia Xiaoluo also expressed her own idea.

“Don’t worry. I said that I would observe Taotao for a month just now. If Taotao can adapt to the school in one month, he will continue studying in the boarding school. If Taotao can’t adapt to the school at all, we’ll take Taotao back together.” Ling Tianyi promised.

“And when we get married, we’ll definitely take Taotao back. Ling Tianyi added. “The activities he wants to attend and the projects he wants to play will be there.”

Xia Xiaoluo smiled. They reached an agreement.

In the end, Xia Xiaoluo said a lot of flattering words to Taotao. So Taotao gave up his wish to study in the same cla.s.s with sister Xiaoxiao, and chose to accept the challenge. The Ling family and the Ouyang family agreed reluctantly.

Taotao agreed. Ling Tianyi finally sighed a relief. He and Xia Xiaoluo took Taotao to the department store to buy all kinds of the equipment for school. When Xia Xiaoluo was selecting the things, she was still reluctant to send Taotao to school in her heart.

Suddenly, Ling Tianyi thought of a serious problem.

“Xiaoluo, I hope to change Taotao’s name before he goes to school. I do not want to call Taotao ‘Ouyang Han’. He is my son. He should follow my family name. And, as soon as we get married, Taotao should follow my family name as other children do from normal families.” Ling Tianyi said very directly.

Xia Xiaoluo felt what Ling Tianyi said was reasonable, but she was in a dilemma. “Taotao’s name was given by my grandpa. I’m afraid that he will be unhappy if I change Taotao’s name.”

“We only change Taotao’s family name, not the given name.” Ling Tianyi said. “I heard you said before. Taotao belongs to the rank of ‘Han’ in the Ouyang family. Then we will keep “Han” there, and only change his family name. Just call him ‘Ling Han’. Isn’t it powerful?”

Xia Xiaoluo thought about it. “Then we talk to grandpa together. Let’s listen to his opinion first!”

Ling Tianyi thought that it would be a tough battle at the beginning. But unexpectedly, Ouyang Feng agreed at once.

Ouyang Feng later said that he did not want to object the child to find his ancestral home. He did not want the child to be asked by other children at school: why didn’t he follow his father’s family name? It was all just for Taotao.

On September 1st, Taotao, with his new name, Ling Han, became the student who joined a cla.s.s of grade four in the middle of the course of the Pulenkry International Primary School.

Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi accompanied Taotao to go to school together. Taotao’s grandparents and the great-grandpa followed them. These elders were busy arranging the dormitory, packing the clothes, and placing books and toys for Taotao.

Ling Tianyi sighed in Taotao’s dormitory, and then he said to Xia Xiaoluo. “This is my last time to compromise. Next time Taotao must organize the things by himself.”

Xia Xiaoluo held Ling Tianyi’s hands. She understood that Ling Tianyi wanted to spoil Taotao and arrange everything for Taotao as well. But he had to be cruel to Taotao, in order to cultivate Taotao’s independent ability.

“Xiaoluo, when you leave later, you must be calm. Don’t cry, just leave here with a smile.” Ling Tianyi said in a low voice.

“I know, but I’m afraid that my grandpa and your parents will cry!” Xia Xiaoluo sighed.

“I have already arranged well. Ziqian will take your grandpa to leave first. Tianxue is coming to pick my parents up.” Ling Tianyi said.

The elders had left. Xia Xiaoluo wanted to say something more to her son before she left.

“Taotao, mommy is about to go. You behave yourself. You have to take good care of yourself and study hard. Mommy is proud of you!” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“Mommy, you must pick me up on Friday!” Taotao couldn’t stand anymore, and tears began to flash in his eyes.

“Don’t worry. I’ll pick you up on Friday! For sure!” Xia Xiaoluo tried her best to control her emotions.

Ling Tianyi was also worried. “Daddy will come to pick you up as well. You study hard. Daddy and mommy will pick you up on Friday. And then we will take you to eat the seafood. On Sat.u.r.day, we will take you to the amus.e.m.e.nt park.”

Finally, Ling Tianyi pulled Xia Xiaoluo to leave. When they just went out of school, Ling Tianyi cried. “Am I too cruel? I don’t want to do so. Just now Taotao was about to cry. It really let me… I don’t know. Am I wrong?”

“Don’t think about it anymore. Friday, we can see Taotao on Friday.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
