Chapter 21 Going to School (Part 2)
The dinner was cooked early, and Chen's mother wanted to finish her meal early, go to bed early, and get energetic after resting. After cooking the pot, she threw the lunch box into the water and cooked for a while before she started cooking dinner.
Dinner was sauerkraut noodles. First, the noodles that had been packed with half a lunch box were brought to the dining table, and then Xiaoxi and hers were brought to the table. When Xiaoxi came over with chopsticks, Chen Yubin was already sitting at the dining table with a fork in one hand.
Because of the new lunch box, Chen Yubin ate half a bowl of rice than usual. After dinner, she washed her feet, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin returned to the bedroom. After sitting for a while, she remembered her brother's cry today, and said to him: "You go to bed first, and I'll see why my mother hasn't come yet."
"Yes." Chen Yubin obediently got on the bed.
Back in the kitchen, Chen's mother was almost finished packing, and went up to call "Mom".
When Mom Chen turned around, she saw Xiaoxi hiding in the dark place. She was startled and cursed with a smile: "You melon woman scared me, you are going back to the bedroom, why are you hiding here?"
Xiaoxi swallowed, stepped forward to Chen's mother, and said carefully: "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."
Mother Chen was busy scooping water into the bucket to wash dishes, without raising her head, and she didn't see Xiaoxi's nervousness at all. She said perfunctorily: "Well, you said." She thought to herself what a child could discuss.
"Mom, I want my brother to go to school with us."
"Bang", Mom Chen was very shocked and didn't even know that she was speaking too loudly, "Why do you say that?"
Xiaoxi looked at his mother and said, "Today my brother said that we were all going to school, and no one would play with him. He was very unhappy."
"Ah?" Chen's mother was very injured. Why didn't she know about this?
"Mom, let my brother go to school with us. In this way, he can have us with him, and you don't have to worry about him when you work." Xiaoxi blinked and continued, "In the morning, you send us all to school and pick us up in the afternoon. It will be much more convenient for you to work during the day."
Mother Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll think about it again, and I'll talk about it in two days."
Seeing that Chen's mother was a little loose, Xiaoxi quickly worked hard, "Mom, you have to hurry up. Before the class started, if you have two days left, your younger brother will not be able to keep up."
Mom Chen thought about it and said, "Tomorrow, I'll discuss it with your grandparents tomorrow."
When Xiaoxi heard that he agreed, "Mom, why not discuss it now."
Seeing that Xiaoxi kept urging herself, Chen's mother couldn't help feeling a little unreasonable, so she said impatiently: "Hey, you are annoyed, you keep urging, why are you urging? Your grandparents are asleep now, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xiaoxi didn't care about it, pretending not to hear her mother's impatience, pushed her out, and advised: "Mom, when I came here just now, I saw the lights in the kitchen of my grandfathers were on, and I haven't slept yet. Go quickly, it's about your son's study."
"Okay, I'll go now, okay, you go back." Mother Chen quickly patted the claws on her waist, and Xiaoxi chuckled and took them back with a tactful chuckle.
Seeing the lights on in the bedroom, when he entered the door, Chen's mother quickly greeted him with a smile: "My parents, you're watching TV."
Seeing that it was the daughter-in-law who came, the mother-in-law pointed to the stool and said, "Oh, Guihua is here, come and sit down, have you eaten?"
He picked a chair casually and sat down. Mom Chen smiled and replied to her mother-in-law's words, "Eat, mom." After a pause, he looked at Grandpa Chen and said, "My mom, I'm here today to discuss something with you."
Grandpa Chen turned the sound of the TV a little lowered, turned around and asked, "Oh, what's the matter, you said."
"That's right, Dad, I'm here to discuss with you about Binbin's schooling."
Isn’t going to school going to be next year? I’ve discussed it so early now, and I’ll talk about it. Besides, I’ll just sign up at that time. Grandma Chen said the question in her heart, “Isn’t Binbin going to school going to next year? What are you talking about now?”
"Yes, it was going to happen next year, but today Binbin said that his sister went to school and he was alone at home and no one played with him."
"That's true. All the kids in this yard are going to school, and he is the only one left, so it's not easy to play with." Grandpa Chen nodded and agreed.
"If you don't play tricks, you'll throw it away? Oh, it's okay. Every child is from every family. I'll get used to it in two days." Grandma Chen didn't agree with asking her to go to school early. The class was full of peers. What if her good grandson went there and was bullied? No.
Grandpa Chen also thought of this and looked at Mom Chen and discussed, "Indeed, children will get used to it in two days. Binbin is also young and can easily be bullied when they go. If you can't be busy during the day, throw Binbin to us two old guys."
When he heard this, it was okay. Isn't it possible for me to shirk responsibility? Chen's mother quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, look at what you said? No, I want Binbin to go to school early, because he wants to play with his sister. The second is that I am busy during the day and you are not idle, but the three of us can still watch Binbin, but we always have a wrong time. Binbin and Xiaoxi are used to wild wilds, and I am afraid that he will do what if he falls into the water when we don't notice the pond. In the past, several children were taken care of together, but this is nothing, but now he is the only one. I'm afraid that he will accidentally go out that day, but there are no people around me. I think it's better to let him study with his sister to avoid worrying all day."
When Grandpa Chen heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right, he's used to wildness, and it's not safe for children to go and talk about this to Teacher Jiang?"
Why did this old man agree? His good grandson is still so young, and he will not be bullied by those big ones. Besides, he has no time to stay with him all day long. He thought about it and was about to speak, "Tsk..." Grandpa Chen glared and swallowed it back. He rolled his eyes helplessly, and he didn't let me say, forget it, I won't be as knowledgeable as you.
Seeing the two old men flirting, Chen's mother pretended to be invisible, "Dad, I'm not here to discuss with you, and that's right, Xiaoxi and the others will go to class tomorrow. I think this matter should be done early, otherwise even if Binbin goes there, it would be awful that he can't keep up with the course."
Nodded and looked at the watch on his wrist. Grandpa Chen thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It's still early, it's only eight o'clock, and Teacher Jiang probably hasn't been asleep yet. Let's go now." After thinking about it, he said: "I'll go with you."
Mother Chen said in surprise: "Ah, are you going now? You go with me?" He waved his hand quickly and refused: "Dad, I'll just go. It's hard to walk at night."
Grandpa Chen got out of bed and put on his shoes, "It's okay, there's a flashlight, it's not far away." He picked up the flashlight from the desk and said to Grandma Chen next to him: "I'll go with Guihua, you're at the front of the house. We'll be back in a while, lock the door." After that, he walked out.
Grandma Chen quickly got out of bed and took it to the door. She waited until she left before locking the bedroom door.
Back in the bedroom, Xiaoxi took off his shoes and went to bed quickly, and then said to Chen Yubin: "Binbin, don't you want us to play with you? We can play together in the future."
Chen Yubin's eyes lit up, he got up with somersault, pulled Xiaoxi's sleeve excitedly, and asked, "It's really true."
Xiaoxi said mysteriously: "Yeah." He paused, "I told my mother to ask you to go to school with us so that we can play together every day."
Chen Yubin happily jumped on the bed and asked constantly: "Oh, I'm going to school too. Sister, when will I go to school? Did my mother agree? Where is my mother? Why didn't she come back?"
"Mom went to discuss with her grandfather, and she had to tell Teacher Jiang, otherwise how could she go to school."
"Oh..." Chen Yubin couldn't suppress the corners of his upturned mouth and his excited heartbeat no matter how hard he pressed.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, his two little heads spent the mosquito net and looked at the door.
Looking at the two pairs of eyes with anticipation, Chen's mother couldn't help but feel that the decision just now was right, and her expression softened a lot. She said warmly: "You two are staying at home. I'll go to Teacher Jiang's house with grandpa. I'll lock the door. Don't open the door at will. If we come back late, you can go to bed first, we'll leave."
The two children looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison: "Well, I understand, grandpa and mother come back early."
"Ha..." Chen's mother retreated and locked the door with the key from outside.
When the door was locked, the room went crazy. Two children jumped on the bed excitedly, "Ah... I'm going to school, too."
The two people who had not yet walked away couldn't help but laugh silently in their hearts when they heard the cheers in the room. Clearing their throats, Grandpa Chen said, "Let's go quickly and come back early." "Yes." Mom Chen quickly followed.
The two tired people were lying on the bamboo mat, but they couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts and kept grinning.
"Sister, is the school fun?"
"It's fun, you can meet a lot of new friends and play games with everyone."
"Is that teacher awesome?"
"It's okay, it looks gentle."
"Have any classmates in that class bullied you?"
"Today is only the first day, and there is no one yet. Besides, your sister is so easy to be bullied. Don't forget, what do we do when we get up so early every morning."
"Well, we are heroes, so we won't be bullied by others."
...
"Clang", Xiaoxi opened his eyes in a daze and saw Chen's mother pushing the door gently. "Mom."
"Well, Xiaoxi and Binbin are awake." Seeing that the two children were awake, Chen's mother simply pushed open the door.
Before Chen's mother recovered, Xiaoxi asked urgently: "Mom, how are you doing?"
Seeing that Chen's mother just smiled and didn't say anything, although she knew there would be no major problems, Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"It's done." Grandpa Chen walked in from outside the door. He had already left, but he heard the voices in the room and turned back. "Tomorrow, Binbin will go to school with Xiaoxi. Binbin must be obedient!"
"Yes." Chen Yubin heard this and went away from sleepy, his eyes were shiny, he clenched his fists and raised his head, looking like "I am the most obedient".
The few people laughed and solved the big problem. Mother Chen was in the mood to joke, "Dad, look at you, I'm going to tell me, but you said that it's not all your credit."
"Haha...yes, it's all my credit." "Hahaha..."
After laughing and making a fuss, Grandpa Chen again instructed: "Binbin, when you arrive at school, you have to listen to the teacher and sister. Also, if someone bullies you, don't be afraid, you must tell the teacher that you can't bear it." After that, he carried his hands behind his back and took the flashlight home.
When Chen's mother got into bed, she said to Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, I told your teacher Jiang that you and Binbin will sit together, there will be no extra books, you two use one."
Then he urged the two children to go to bed.
