“Why are you so slow today? We have been up for quite a while,” Chen Haoxuan said as he stretched out his hand and poked Chen Meng’er’s soft face. Speaking of which, Chen Haoxuan had formed this bad habit of poking Chen Meng’er’s small face since the moment Chen Meng’er came to this house.
After Chen Haoxuan was told not to a few times, he even said righteously, “Who asked her face to be so soft and so comfortable to poke?”
Chen Haoguo was much more reliable than Chen Haoxuan. He saw that his sister was still sleepy and adorable, so he reached out to carry her to the edge of the bed and sat her down. Then, he helped her put on her shoes. “Okay. Meng’er, open your eyes wide and go brush your teeth and wash your face.”
Liu Juan’s family was in the neighboring village, not far away. However, with Chen Meng’er’s short legs, who knew how long she would have to walk if she just walked at her pace. She didn’t want Liu Juan to carry her either. In the end, Liu Juan pushed a bicycle while Chen Meng’er sat in the back seat while Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan followed behind.!!
“Father, mother.” When they reached the entrance of the small courtyard, Liu Juan shouted to the courtyard while carrying Chen Meng’er out of the bicycle. Meanwhile, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan ran into the courtyard when Liu Juan stopped the car.
Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu heard the sound and walked out of the house. Grandma Liu saw the person who came and grinned. “Oh, Juan is back.”
“Grandpa, Grandma, hello.” Chen Haoxuan moved closer to his grandma and said with a lick of his lips. He knew that every time he came to his grandmother’s house, there would be delicious food.
At this moment, Grandma Liu saw Chen Haoxuan, who had moved closer to her, and pulled him into her arms. After calling him “darling”, she held Chen Haoxuan’s hand and walked towards the house, as they walked, she said, “Quick, come in. I will bring you delicious food.”
Chen Haoxuan had been waiting for this sentence. He followed his grandmother into the house.
Chen Meng’er, who was following beside Liu Juan, had a decent smile on her face. She called out to Grandpa Liu, “Grandpa.”
Grandpa Liu smiled kindly and said, “Meng’er is here too. Quick, go in. Go to your grandmother’s place and get some delicious food.”
“Okay.” Chen Meng’er obediently walked into the house. Speaking of which, she really had no interest in those snacks at this time. However, it wasn’t good for her to show it. After all, in this era where resources were scarce, which child didn’t like those delicious snacks?
Liu Juan watched Chen Meng’er enter the house and then said to her father, “Father, I came back this time because I want to borrow some money from you.”
“Why? Did you and Little Ping encounter any difficulties?” Grandpa Liu asked with a frown. He still remembered that when his daughter first married Chen Ping, when the family was in the most difficult time, he wanted to help out with the subsidies, but Chen Ping and his daughter rejected him. Now that he suddenly spoke up, he was worried that they had met with some difficulties, and that they had no choice but to speak up.
“Yes, we did meet with some difficulties. School is about to start soon. Our family has to send three children to school this year, so we need three sets of tuition fees. We’re a little short on money.” Liu Juan was a little conflicted about asking her parents for money, she was also quite conflicted. If it weren’t for the children, she wouldn’t have asked.
“Three children? Besides Haoguo and Haoxuan, who else needs to go to school?” Grandpa Liu couldn’t think of a third child in his daughter’s family. He would never think of Chen Meng’er.
“Yes, Meng’er is going to enter the first grade of primary school with Haoxuan today.” Whenever Liu Juan thought of her daughter’s great feat, she could not help but show a proud expression on her face.
“Nonsense, Meng’er is only three years old. If you let her go to school, isn’t it a waste of money?” Grandpa Liu reprimanded her with a stern face.
Actually, when his daughter and son-in-law wanted to adopt the little girl, he and his wife were not happy about it. Their family was not rich, so how could they have the spare money to help someone else raise a child. However, their daughter had already started a family. Their objections were only a few words of advice. In the end, it was best to let the couple insist.
“Yes, father is right. You and brother-in-law are just fooling around. You said that you would adopt the child just like that. All you had to do was give her some food and clothes. But now, she’s only three years old and you want her to go to school. Do you have so much money that you can’t put it down?” Liu Juan’s sister-in-law, Lu Chengying rushed over with her daughter when she heard that her sister-in-law had returned with the child.
She had to watch from the side. Otherwise, her parents-in-law would pass the money to their little daughter, and they would not know.
When Lu Chengying brought the child to the door, she heard her sister-in-law asking her father-in-law for money. She pulled her ten-year-old daughter and stood by the door, eavesdropping on the conversation between her sister-in-law, Liu Juan, and her father-in-law.
“Sister-in-law,” Liu Juan looked at the person who came in and called out with a stiff expression.
Grandpa Liu looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law who suddenly appeared. He knew what this eldest daughter-in-law was up to. He glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law coldly. This time, he didn’t scold this eldest daughter-in-law because he felt that her words, although not pleasant to hear, expressed the same meaning as his. “Your sister-in-law’s words are reasonable this time.”
“Father, sister-in-law, we are not joking when we send Meng’er to school. After Principal Chen tested Meng’er’s knowledge, he made an exception and agreed to let Meng’er enter the first grade.. Principal Chen even said that our Meng’er is a genius,” Liu Juan said proudly.
