Bonnie took Zhang's mother and her two children to find the admissions teacher to see what the children would learn.

"Bonnie, you're here?"

"Here you are. This is my neighbor. They also want to send their child here to learn something. Could you please introduce them to me?"

There was still time, so Bonnie wasn't in a hurry to leave, while Aunt Zhang was a little nervous.

After listening to the teacher's introduction, Hongxia and Xu Tao both had their own ideas.

Hongxia loves to dance, so Xu Tao and Sanqi went to keep her company.

Aunt Zhang registered and paid the fees, and her two children can start attending classes today.

Bonnie told Aunt Zhang to have some free time, since the children wouldn't finish their classes until noon.

Bonnie is about to start her class. The children in the morning are between twelve and sixteen years old, more than ten in total. After changing into their swimsuits, Bonnie begins her lesson.

Bonnie's lectures combine theory and practice. She explains the theories clearly in concise language, leaving the rest for hands-on practice. During these practical exercises, problems are encountered and solved, and the children learn very well.

Bonnie's team is doing well, but the boys' team is struggling.

The young man was very young and understood the concepts clearly when he practiced, but his explanations were somewhat inadequate, leaving the children somewhat confused.

Later, someone suggested that she consult with Comrade Lin Baoni.

After finishing her morning classes, Aunt Zhang took her child home. Class 69 was in the afternoon, and Class 37 was finished. He didn't want to go home with Aunt Zhang first; he wanted to wait for his mother to go home together.

Zhang's mother and her two children went home first. Bao Ni went to another class and then took the two children out for dinner.

The cafeteria chefs were quite skilled; the mother and her two children ate with beaming smiles.

In the afternoon, Liu Jiu went to class with his mother, while Sanqi wandered around the Children's Palace and even audited some classes, managing his own schedule perfectly. Bao Ni reminded him not to leave the Children's Palace alone.

Sister Zhang returned to the family compound with her two children. As soon as she entered the gate, she was surrounded by a group of women who had been waiting there for a long time and hadn't even had lunch.

"Sister Zhang, did Commander Gu's wife find her own job?"

"Yeah." Aunt Zhang probably understood what these people were thinking, assuming that Bonnie had cut in line.

That's hilarious. Bonnie gave up the job with military compensation right away, so how could she possibly find another job through logistics?

"Tell us how Commander Gu's wife found a job."

Aunt Zhang was in a hurry to get home and cook. She briefly explained the reason: "Baoni went to ask about her child's studies and happened to see a job posting, so she signed up."

"You didn't even tell anyone about this opportunity, and you secretly signed up all by yourself. That's so selfish." This was a discordant voice that made Zhang's blood boil.

"Where do you get the nerve to tell me this? Did you only graduate from junior high school or are you a skilled scuba diver? You do nothing productive all day but stare at other people's jobs. You're just bored out of your mind."

"Get out of the way, I'm going home to cook. I don't have time to waste on this nonsense. All you do is nag and complain. If you don't have a job, go find one yourself. If you can't find a job, tend the vegetable garden, go out and pick wild vegetables, do something else."

As Sister Zhang walked further and further away, she left behind a group of dumbfounded sisters-in-law.

When did Sister-in-law Zhang become so eloquent? She wasn't like this before.

"You become like the people you associate with. Just look at how Brigade Commander Gu's wife has never suffered a loss; she can talk a lot about it."

The main person involved has left, and the others have also dispersed.

That evening, Cao Wenze and his wife came to see Bao Ni.

"Shengnan also wants to learn scuba diving?"

"Yes, I've always wanted to learn, but I'm only a novice myself. The main problem is that I haven't had the time, so I haven't been able to learn. Now, I heard that Liu Jiu is learning to scuba dive, and this is the first time my child has made such a request." Deng Yingzi's words carried a sense of guilt; they hadn't given their child enough.

"Then go and learn there. This children's palace is pretty good." Bonnie quite liked the working atmosphere at the children's palace; there wasn't much fuss about it.

"This time, there's something I need to trouble you with. If we can't take her to class during the day, could you please take Shengnan with you when you take Liujiu? We're a little worried about letting her go by herself." Deng Yingzi was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. She had to go out to sea from time to time and couldn't guarantee that she would be home every Sunday, as could Cao Wenze.

“Sure, you can come with me then, and so will Mrs. Zhang from next door. Her two little ones are also studying at the Children’s Palace.”

The matter was resolved, and Cao Wenze and his wife thanked them again.

Bonnie felt that Shengnan was very self-reliant, and they only needed to keep an eye on her. The child wouldn't run around on her own, so they didn't have to worry about her too much.

Shengnan was overjoyed to learn how to scuba dive; this was one of the few times she showed such obvious emotion.

This ten-year-old child is exceptionally sensible. While her parents protect her and help others, she quietly takes care of her two younger brothers.

Cao Wenze and his wife had previously sent their twins to school, but later found they were too young, so they sent them to daycare. They won't be able to start first grade until next September.

Shengnan can only go to the Children's Palace next Sunday, so she went to Liujiu for extra lessons to review what was taught today.

After finishing discussing the child's situation, the Cao couple went home; they still had work to do.

Bonnie went to find Aunt Zhang and told her that they would go to the Children's Palace together in the future.

"Baoni, let me tell you, those women in the family compound are infuriating. They went to the logistics department today to cause trouble, thinking your job was arranged by them, and went to protest. After they found out it wasn't, they're waiting for me now, asking how you found the job."

What's really infuriating is that they thought I was stingy for not telling them about the job openings. What kind of people are they? I gave them a piece of my mind, and it felt so good.

Bonnie, because of you, my sister-in-law has gained confidence and dares to speak up, haha... Just thinking about their wide-eyed expressions makes me laugh. Before, she said I wasn't good enough for Lao Xu, but they were.

Aunt Zhang spoke with great enthusiasm, she was truly happy.

Looking at Sister-in-law Zhang like this, Bonnie's mood improved; there were indeed sisters-in-law worth getting to know.

Cao Shengnan counted on her fingers, and finally Sunday arrived. She was very excited and even ran an extra lap during her morning exercise.

After breakfast, Bonnie and Aunt Zhang set off with their five children, like a small team.

"Bonnie, are you coming to work as a team?!"

The gatekeeper saw that there was another child and teased Bonnie.

"Grandpa, not everyone has arrived yet. There's a pair of twins who haven't come yet. They should be coming next year; they're still a bit young."

Bonnie got to know the gatekeeper, a rather adorable old man. When they had free time, the two of them would chat for a while.

Liu Jiu really likes this grandfather, especially the stories he tells about fighting.

Bonnie went to teach the children, Liu Jiu and Sheng Nan did their homework at their mother's desk, and San Qi and Xu Tao went to the music room. Aunt Zhang wandered around the neighborhood, looking for temporary workers.

After Bonnie got off work, she took the three children home by car. Shengnan had a happy day; she got to learn to scuba dive and listen to the gatekeeper tell stories with Liujiu. She didn't have to worry about her younger brothers crying or her parents getting hurt.

She felt very safe and at peace with Aunt Gu!
