“Didn’t expect Teacher Du to be so frugal!”
“Indeed, this has changed my impression of celebrities.”
“Teacher Du’s actions are really touching, he saves the best food for the kids and keeps the worse for himself.”
“This is the spirit of us ’80s generation.”
“Poor parents everywhere, us ’80s, we always leave the best for the kids, we don’t care about eating or wearing good things.”
“Dan Jiao is so lucky to have such a loving father.”
“When Dan Jiao grows up, she’ll understand how much her dad loves him.”
Clearly, Du Chun’s actions resonated with many people. After all, in the eyes of many ’80s generation parents, Du Chun’s approach to raising his child was a reflection of their own experiences!
They sacrifice their own comfort, working hard to provide a better life and better opportunities for the next generation. This is the great spirit of sacrifice.
And with this approach to parenting, the child would surely grow up with a sense of gratitude.

“Teacher Du is really good at educating his child.”
In the studio, Zhang Dada also commented on Du Chun’s approach. This naturally gained approval from a few experts.
One of the education experts said, “I initially thought that as a man, Du Chun would be careless in raising his child.”
“But what he did really surprised me.”
“Whether it’s cooking or washing the child’s face, he’s doing everything himself…”
“There’s a saying—Parents are a child’s first teachers.”
“Teaching by example with this sacrificial spirit to educate children…”
“A child raised this way will be very thoughtful.”
At this point, as the mother of the child, Wang Can also nodded and said, “That’s right, this is indeed our way of educating our child.”
“As parents,”
“We need to let Dan Jiao understand the sacrifices we make.”
“Know how hard it is for us.”
“Guide him to develop in the right direction.”
Wang Can’s words were also supported by a group of experts. On the other hand, Wang Bingbing, who was sitting aside, suddenly fell silent.
To be honest, this method of parenting isn’t wrong. But this guilt-ridden, sacrificial way of educating children… is it really the right way?
She still remembers, when she was a child, on her birthday, her father told her, “Today is your birthday, but it’s also your mother’s day of suffering.”
“You must remember that your mother paid a huge price to give birth to you!”
And because of that, every year on her birthday, she would remember her father’s words, and while wanting to be happy, she just couldn’t feel it. It was not that she didn’t understand gratitude. It was just that she felt that on her birthday, she really shouldn’t be happy…
Clearly, it wasn’t just Wang Bingbing who had this confusion. Even many young viewers were also uncertain. Feeling that something was off!
However, before the audience could think more deeply, Teacher He interrupted.
“We’ve already seen how Teacher Du raises his child.”
“Next, let’s see how parents from the ’00s raise their kids and what differences there might be.”
As he spoke, Teacher He gestured towards Yang Mi. Upon seeing this, Yang Mi felt a bit nervous. Ever since seeing Du Chun’s way of raising his child, Yang Mi had a bad feeling.
After all, Gu Xu raising a child…
However, before she could think too much, the video cut to the screen.
…
The live broadcast showed a villa located in Shanghai. Compared to Du Chun’s home, It was clearly much more luxurious. However, the difference was that the ’00s father had not made breakfast or washed his child’s face at this point.
Even the video footage didn’t show the man. Instead, there was a little girl with big eyes, extremely cute in appearance, already dressed, walking towards a room.
“Wow, is this Yang Mi’s daughter? So adorable!”
“OMG… I swear, I just recognized her! This is my long-lost daughter!”
“Doesn’t the government encourage having kids? I’ll take this one!”
“Indeed, natural childbirth is much faster!”
“Any lawyers in the live chat? Can someone explain how to fight for custody with a stranger?”
Clearly, the moment Yang Mi’s daughter appeared on screen, the chat exploded. After all, the little girl was just too cute. Of course, what caught the audience’s attention was, where’s the kid’s dad? Did he finish breakfast already?
But soon, the audience was stunned. Because after the little girl pushed open the door to a room…
What greeted their eyes was a man still sleeping in bed.
Does this mean…
Yang Mi’s husband still hasn’t gotten up!
“Hahaha, no way, Gu Xu hasn’t gotten out of bed yet?”
“Can’t believe it, that’s so typical of us ’00s, now I feel at ease.”
“Yeah… if he had gotten up, I would’ve thought it was all staged, but now it’s really real.”
“LOL, look at Mi Jie’s expression.”
As the barrage of comments exploded, many viewers turned their attention to Yang Mi.
It was obvious that Yang Mi, at this moment, had completely frozen up, awkward and speechless. She had reminded Gu Xu the night before to wake up early for the show. This was a live broadcast!
Not a pre-recorded segment.
Gu Xu had promised, but still… he hadn’t gotten up!
Well, now there was no hope left…
She had completely given up.
“Dad, the sun is already up, why are you still in bed? If you don’t get up, I’m going to be late for kindergarten.”
Gu Xiaoxiao pouted, patting her dad’s blanket. Her dad was always like this. He stayed up late at night and refused to get up in the morning.
Calling him a huge lazybones wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
“Xiaoxiao, dad’s really too tired today, I can’t take you to kindergarten, you’ll have to go by yourself.”
Gu Xu still kept his eyes closed, speaking in a tired tone.
“Huh? You want me to go to kindergarten by myself?”
Gu Xu’s words made Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes go wide in disbelief. She felt a bit speechless. After all, her kindergarten was still seven or eight kilometers away from here.
If she had to go by herself, who knew how long it would take her.
“No way!”
“That’s too far! How am I supposed to get there?”
Hearing this, Gu Xu immediately realized the distance was… quite far.
Well… how about this, Xiaoxiao, don’t go today?
Thinking about it, Gu Xu said again.
“Huh? Not going?”
“Yeah, anyway, you just play at kindergarten, you don’t really learn anything.”
“How about I call the teacher and tell them you’re sick?”
“We can just say you have a cold, and you’ll stay home today.”
Gu Xu immediately came up with this nonsense. As a ’00s generation, back in the day, he had always had a million excuses to skip school. Helping his daughter get a day off from kindergarten? No problem at all.
To Gu Xu, kindergarten was really no big deal—it was just a place where they paid to watch kids. They’d just be playing anyway, so what’s the difference where they play?
“No way! No way! I want to go!”
“It’s so boring at home.”
Clearly, Gu Xiaoxiao wasn’t buying it.
“Dad, please get up quickly.”
Gu Xu remained unmoved…
“Dad, you’re not getting up? If you don’t, I’ll call mom.”
Gu Xiaoxiao immediately pulled out her trump card.
“ Ugh… fine, fine, I’m getting up, I’m getting up… Why are you so full of energy all the time!”
“Don’t tell your mom!”
Unable to refuse, Gu Xu reluctantly muttered and crawled out of bed. However, when he saw the camera crew outside the room filming, he froze for a moment.
He suddenly remembered…
This was a live broadcast, wasn’t it!
