“My mom is an adult, and an elder. Are we supposed to keep an eye on her? If we had that time to keep an eye on her, wouldn’t we be able to take care of Xiao Rui ourselves?”

Liu Dekai did consider it.

But that's the reality: when both parents have to work, the children can only be cared for by their parents.

Mo Cheng has to work, and Jiang Rongmei has to take care of her husband, so naturally they won't be able to focus their energy on their grandson. At present, it seems that the most suitable person in their family to take care of the child is indeed Zhang Cuihua.

Almost every household in the compound was in the same situation.

Either they bring their elders to live with them, and they take care of the children and the house, or the mothers stay home to take care of the children, like those military wives.

But Mo Youyou would never compromise; she would never quit her job in the military.

"What should we do? Are we just going to give up and ignore it? Xiao Rui is our own son!" Mo Youyou said, feeling both angry and anxious.

How could she not know that what Liu Dekai said was the truth?

But what she wanted was a solution, not for Liu Dekai to repeat the problem again!

"No, if this continues, Xiao Rui will really be spoiled, and then it will be too late to straighten him out..." Mo Youyou murmured.

This can't go on, it absolutely can't continue...

Who should we hire to take care of the child?

nanny?

Even a nanny might not be trustworthy. Take Aunt Liao from before, for example. Although she was a relative, she had no real connection with Xiao Rui. What if she treated Xiao Rui badly? Mo Youyou felt that wasn't a good idea either.

So, what kind of people and places are suitable for raising children without spoiling them?

teacher?

Yes, it's a teacher!

“Honey,” Mo Youyou’s eyes lit up instantly, feeling she had found a great idea, “Why don’t we send Xiao Rui to kindergarten sooner?”

Liu Shengrui is two years old now, while most children start kindergarten at the age of three.

Although he didn't meet the age requirement, Mo Youyou thought she would go back and ask her father for help, pull some strings, and maybe she could get Liu Shengrui into school when it started. By then, Liu Shengrui would be two and a half years old, so the age difference wouldn't be too much of a problem.

"The teachers in the kindergarten are all professional, and there are so many children to play with. I guarantee Xiao Rui will love it!"

“Usually, children are three years old before they can go. Xiao Rui is too young, but we can try to find a way to get him in. He’s almost two and a half, so it’s just right for him.”

The more Mo Youyou talked about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Firstly, the teacher is very professional and can guide Liu Shengrui correctly; secondly, those brats in the yard don't want to play with Xiao Rui, but with so many children in the kindergarten, Xiao Rui can make new friends.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

However, Liu Dekai did not immediately agree. He frowned and pondered the method proposed by Mo Youyou.

Go to kindergarten?

Even in the yard, where there aren't that many children and family members are watching over him, Liu Shengrui has already caused so much trouble. If he goes to kindergarten, even though there are teachers, can they only keep an eye on Liu Shengrui?

With so many children around, who knows what kind of trouble Liu Shengrui might cause?

We're all from the same compound, so any minor conflicts or frictions can be resolved with an apology. After all, we know each other and are willing to save face for one another.

But in kindergarten, there are so many children, and their parents come from all over the world. Who can guarantee that if Liu Shengrui gets into trouble, his family can handle it?

“Youyou, I think it’s safer to wait a bit longer,” Liu Dekai said, dissuading Mo Youyou from her decision. “Xiao Rui is still too young.”

"Why?" Mo Youyou was in a bad mood when Liu Dekai poured cold water on her enthusiasm, so she was naturally a little unhappy. "Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to go against me? Fine, then you come up with a solution. Do you have any better ideas?"

"Don't rush!" Liu Dekai said.

Every time Liu Dekai talks to Mo Youyou about his son, he gets a headache.

Normally, Liu Dekai is quite sharp-minded, but when it comes to his son or Su Yueya, he becomes exceptionally stubborn and difficult to communicate with, which leads him to increasingly avoid these issues.

But now, he can no longer run away.

If Mo Youyou were to send the child to kindergarten ahead of schedule, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause? He should try to stop her if he can.

"I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already getting angry. Who's the one who wants to start a fight?" Liu Dekai asked helplessly, continuing to rub his temples.

Mo Youyou fell silent, wanting to hear what insightful opinions Liu Dekai would have this time.

"Okay, then you go ahead."

“I don’t disagree with you sending Xiao Rui to kindergarten,” Liu Dekai said, first acknowledging the other party’s idea, and then explaining the inappropriate aspects.

Communicating with Mo Youyou requires "art." Simply denying her will only provoke her rebellious emotions and push things to an outcome she doesn't want. That's the strategy.

"You just meant you disagreed..." Sure enough, Mo Youyou's tone softened considerably, no longer as tense as before.

To put it bluntly, the only way to deal with Mo Youyou is to go along with her.

“What I mean is, Xiao Rui is still too young. We should wait until he turns three before sending him there. Firstly, it will be more in accordance with the regulations. I know Dad can definitely pull some strings, but pulling strings is still against the rules. What if it gets found out and it affects Dad? Do you think it's worth it?”

Sure enough, Mo Youyou's expression changed when the topic of potentially affecting Mo Cheng came up.

But she also felt that it wasn't a big deal. She believed that there must be children in kindergartens who were too old or had connections, and who would have nothing better to do than keep an eye on this kind of thing every day?

But I still wavered a little.

So Liu Dekai pressed on, continuing to appeal to his emotions and reason with him.

"Secondly, there are so many children in that kindergarten, and only one teacher is in each class. Can we really expect the teacher to only watch over Xiao Rui? There will always be times when they can't keep an eye on everyone. With so many children together, it's hard to say who will bully whom. If Xiao Rui is bullied, won't you feel bad?"

While Liu Dekai was trying to persuade her, he kept an eye on Mo Youyou's expression and found that she was indeed hesitant.

Mo Youyou is indeed angry, but the fact that she is still trying to separate Liu Shengrui and Zhang Cuihua shows that she still cares about her son deep down.

"So, we're going to send our son to kindergarten, but let's wait a bit longer, what do you think?" Liu Dekai asked.

Mo Youyou: "..."

It must be admitted that Liu Dekai's analysis is indeed reasonable.
