Chapter 115: Differences in outlook

After buying vegetables, Lin Xia walked home with the little one. When she passed by Yang Hongmei's house, she saw her and Zhao Xianglan busying themselves.

Several children were playing together in the yard. One of them was a bigger girl, while the others were all little kids.

It was the first time she had seen so many children on the island. When she looked down, she saw that the little ones were indeed looking at her eagerly. Lin Xia led her in and asked crisply, "It seems that the sisters-in-law have made a lot of gains today."

"An An, go play with your big sisters and brothers." Seeing that the little guy was looking at her eagerly and didn't dare to come forward, Lin Xia pushed the little guy who was holding her legs and encouraged him.

"Sister An~" Niu Niu, who could hardly speak clearly, saw An An and came over tremblingly, trying to take her over.

An An looked at Lin Xia, her big eyes full of desire.

"Go ahead, Mom is chatting with the aunts, you can see me when you look up." After saying that, she sat down on the porch, put her backpack aside, still staring at the little one.

An An looked back at Lin Xia every step she took. Seeing that she was staring at her, she felt much more at ease.

"Look, you didn't go today, and there are so many crabs. Take some back and eat them later." When Zhao Xianglan saw that it was Lin Xia, she smiled, as if to say that you missed out a lot by not going.

"Hahaha, then you have quite a catch today." Lin Xia stretched her head and took a look. It was another full bucket with many crabs that were half the size of a palm. There must not be much crab roe. She was afraid that she could only eat the meat.

Lin Xia didn't regret it at all. If she really wanted to eat the crabs, she could just go pick some more. The crabs wouldn't cost much even if she bought them.

"Although this is free, you still need to be careful. Eating too much seafood can cause problems." Lin Xia reminded seriously that seafood contains the highest level of purine, and it is not known whether they drink alcohol or not, so as not to cause high uric acid levels. That would be troublesome.

"What's that?" Yang Hongmei looked at the scallop in her hand and couldn't understand why she couldn't eat more of it?

Seeing that they knew nothing about this, Lin Xia was worried that they would eat the free seafood every day, and eventually something big would happen.

I explained to them in detail the taboos about seafood, such as purine and vitamins, which left them stunned.

Yang Hongmei stared at Lin Xia and murmured, "We both have two brains, how do you know so much?"

Lin Xia was amused by Yang Hongmei's words. He remembered that life in the future was getting better. TV programs showed some health-preserving methods every day. He could remember those things just by listening to them.

"Sister-in-law, can I trouble you to ask, how old is your Xiaojun? What are the requirements for admission to this school?" She only had the memory of the original owner's schooling in her mind, but she had no idea about the situation at the military school.

She thought that the little one could make some friends to play with in school, and that way she would have some free time to see if she could find a job to pass the time.

When Yang Hongmei heard this, she knew that she was going to send the child to school, so she told Lin Xia in detail: "Xiaojun is five years old now, and he will be able to go to elementary school in a year. He usually goes to school with Dajun, and I pick him up occasionally."

Lin Xia felt relieved when she heard this. Fortunately, it was not too late. The little guy would be five years old in the second half of the year and could go to kindergarten for another year as a transition. She felt much more relieved.

June is almost over and summer vacation is about to start. It will be the perfect time to register in September. I will let Lu Yuxiu prepare the information later and also prepare the little one mentally.

As I was thinking, I heard a voice in my ear.

"Why should a girl read books? Just leave her at home and she can help with housework when she grows up a few years later." Zhao Xianglan looked indifferent when she saw that Lin Xia was going to send the girl to school.

Lin Xia hadn't heard this kind of talk for a long time. When she heard it suddenly, her expression almost couldn't hold back. She disagreed, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's always right to read more books."

"Look at my lovely sister. She's so capable. She can help me take care of the children at home and is good at all kinds of housework. She makes me worry less." Zhao Xianglan looked proud.

Apart from anything else, many families in the residential area envied her for raising their daughter to be so capable. If her daughter had not been so young, matchmakers would have come knocking on her door.

Looking at the girl playing with her younger brother and sister not far away, she looks only about ten years old. Such a young child does not go to school and has already started staying at home, preparing to join another family and become a so-called "good wife and mother".

Lin Xia felt very uncomfortable when she saw this. She didn't know Zhao Xianglan very well and thought she was just a gossipy woman. One should not judge people by appearances. After spending a few times with her, one will know whether their values ​​are compatible.

She is definitely not a wicked person, but she has feudal ideas, favors boys over girls, and sticks to old ways.

"It's a new era now, and it doesn't matter whether you're a boy or a girl. It's always good to read some books." She also knew that saying a few words wouldn't change anything, but she couldn't bear it if she didn't say it.

When Zhao Xianglan heard her say this, she simply couldn't listen. She just felt that her education was nothing wrong, and that Lin Xia was just too young and didn't understand many things.

Seeing Lin Xia's unhappy expression, Yang Hongmei tried to smooth things over by saying, "Let's not talk about that. Look at how big these oysters are. I'm sure Old Wu will love them."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xianglan immediately forgot about studying and started talking about other gossip, talking about other people's private matters.

Hearing Lin Xia sitting there and being distracted, she wanted to go back, but was afraid that the little guy was having too much fun, so she had to stare at the little guy while being in a daze.

After a while, the little guy's face was shining and he ran over with his legs clattering.

"Mom, I want to drink some water."

When she got closer, Lin Xia realized that her forehead was covered with sweat, her little face was red from playing, and when she spoke, there was a heat coming out of her mouth, as warm as a freshly steamed bun.

He touched her back and asked softly, "Do you want to play again?"

The little girl looked at her friends behind her with reluctance. They were playing marbles. If she wasn't thirsty, she would have wanted to play more.

"Come home with me to drink some water first, and then come back to play, okay?" Zhao Xianglan was one person, but if her ideas were different, she would just come less often to play. It was rare for the little guy to have fun, so she didn't want to stop him.

Lin Xia greeted Mrs. Yang and got up.

"Okay~" He held Lin Xia's hand obediently, and when he passed by his friends, he said in a baby voice: "Don't leave, I'll be back soon."

I would look back after walking a few steps, fearing that others had left.

Seeing that she was more lively, Lin Xia decided to send her to kindergarten, not for her to learn anything, but just for her to have fun.

After returning to his home, he wiped the sweat off the little one, watched her drink gulps of water, and then wanted to drag Lin Xia to Niuniu's house next door. The little short legs couldn't wait.

"Wait, baby, can you go play next door by yourself? Mommy has to cook!" Lin Xia looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock, and she had a lot of things to do. She also wanted to train the little one's courage.

She is so shy, so if she wants to be able to enter school smoothly, she needs to be trained now.

The little hands were clenched together nervously. She didn't expect her mother would not accompany her. There was a hint of panic in her little voice, "Mom, accompany me~"

"Mom wants to accompany you, but Mom still has to cook squid for you. Don't you want to eat it?" Lin Xia asked in a persuasive manner.

Her face was frowned. She wanted to eat squid but also wanted her mother's company. She was a little scared without her mother around.

The little hand grasped the hem of Lin Xia's skirt, not daring to let go. Tears welled up in her eyes and she felt conflicted.

"Mom will go with you and come back later, okay?" Lin Xia felt very distressed when she saw her like this, but she had to learn to let go.
