Lu Chuqing didn't know what Lu Ying said to Zhang Qiaoyu, but in any case, the two of them eventually calmed down.

Zhang Qiaoyu decided to stay home to take care of Lu Linqi, while Lu Hang went out to do business alone.

But what was still surprising was that the boy wanted Zhang Qiaoyu to go out with Lu Hang, while he stayed at his grandparents' house alone.

He even said that Lu Chuqing was there to play with him.

These words startled the little dumpling so much that he dropped the chicken leg he was munching on!

She even suspected that the child was provoked by his parents' argument; he clearly disliked and hated her the most, yet he could still say such things!

Perhaps it was Lu Ying's words that made Zhang Qiaoyu see things more clearly and realize that her previous methods of educating her child were wrong. Now that her child didn't want her to come with her, and besides, Lu Hang had always wanted her to be with him, she stopped insisting.

These days, transferring schools isn't troublesome at all. Just tell the school, and they'll take care of everything.

So, Lu Linqi stayed at the Lu family home.

Because he and Lu Chuqing were close in age, the task of picking them up and dropping them off fell to Lu Ying.

Lu Hang heard that Lu Ying was looking for a house when he returned on the first day. Considering his own feelings, he helped her find a house close to the primary school. Although the rent was a bit expensive, the environment was good and the security was good.

In addition to the fact that Lu Linqi's pick-up and drop-off duties fell to her, Lu Hang also provided six months' rent.

When Lu Ying tried to refuse, Zhang Qiaoyu stopped her, saying, "Taking care of a child is already exhausting, and it's only half a year's rent. Not to mention you'll need a lot of help in the future!"

In the end, Lu Ying could only be persuaded by Zhang Qiaoyu.

Everything was arranged, and the start of the school year was approaching.

First, he helped Lu Chengyang take his things to school. Before leaving, the young boy pinched Lu Chuqing's cheek and said, "Little Qingqing, don't miss your brother too much. Your brother is going to school and will be back on Sunday!"

Lu Chuqing really wanted to say who would miss you, but seeing the young boy lingering on her face, pinching her cheeks back and forth, she sighed inwardly and went forward to hug Lu Chengyang's neck.

"Don't worry, brother, go to school. Qingqing will wait for you to come back on Sunday and play with me. Study hard at school!"

The way the little boy was giving instructions, acting like a little adult, made the adults who came to see him off laugh.

Lu Chengyang also pursed his lips, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. He then turned to Lu Linqi, who was expressionless, and said, "And you, although you're still a little one, who told you to be the older brother? Stay home and keep a close eye on Qingqing. If she gets bullied, I'll come looking for you first when I get back!"

Lu Linqi remained unmoved. "Going to school is so tedious, more troublesome than an old woman."

Lu Chengyang's eyes widened. "Hey! You little rascal!"

"Alright, alright, brother, hurry up and go inside. Lots of people are looking this way! Don't let them think you're skipping school because you want to stay home!"

Lu Chuqing pushed the boy's leg to hurry up and leave. Parents and students coming and going at the gate were indeed looking in their direction, but it was unclear what they were looking at.

The little dumpling didn't want to be the center of attention; she just wanted her little cousin to get into school and leave as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Lu Chengyang had no choice but to wave goodbye to his family and go to school with his schoolbag on his back.

After seeing off Lu Chengyang, it was Lu Linqi and Lu Chuqing's turn.

They're both young; the first day of school for kids is usually just registration and then playing.

Especially since Lu Chuqing is still a kindergarten child.

The kindergarten she previously attended was close to the old district and was a private one. Due to its surrounding environment and location, the tuition there was relatively the cheapest.

The school provides shuttle service, but to save on transportation costs, Lu Ying personally picks up and drops off the children, and they eat lunch at the school.

Now, thanks to Lu Linqi, she got into Chaoyang Primary School in Yangcheng City, which is relatively good compared to other schools in the city.

She heard from her elders that Chaoyang Primary School was one of the top primary schools in Yangcheng City, with a very high success rate in getting into junior high school. A large portion of the students who could get into No. 5 Middle School had attended Chaoyang Primary School.

Lu Hang had heard about it, which is why he arranged for Lu Linqi to attend this school, and Lu Chuqing benefited from it and also went to Chaoyang Kindergarten.

Anyway, Lu Ying always picks her up and drops her off herself, even after she goes to a public kindergarten.

There's no time limit for children to register for school; as long as you come on the first day, it's fine. Even if you don't come, it's okay if you come three days in advance.

It was already past nine o'clock when I dropped Lu Chengyang off, and the two children didn't get to their classroom until almost ten o'clock.

Lu Ying and her eldest brother Lu Jun's family took Lu Chuqing to register for kindergarten, while Lu Hang and Zhang Qiaoyu took Lu Linqi to register for first grade.

Since it was all just for fun anyway, after registering and receiving the textbooks, the whole family took the two children home.

Lu Hang and Zhang Qiaoyu still need to pack their things, preparing to leave in a couple of days.

Before leaving, I invited my family to have dinner at a highly-regarded restaurant in the city center.

The two elderly people complained that it was too much money, saying they had everything they needed at home and couldn't possibly finish all the dishes.

Lu Hang and Zhang Qiaoyu both said it was just a meal and wouldn't cost much. They also said they would have to trouble their families to take care of the child for a long time afterward, and it was just a meal.

As he spoke, Lu Hang took the menu from the waiter and ordered a bunch of things.

Chai Shuhua and Lu Ying were both busy saying that it was enough to eat and that we shouldn't order too much that we wouldn't be able to finish. It was unclear whether the man was listening or not. He agreed verbally, but his pen was still marking up the menu.

During this time, Lu Hang handed the menu to the two women sitting together and said, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, do you two have any desserts you'd like to try?"

Upon hearing about desserts, Chai Shuhua immediately thought they were expensive snacks and quickly said, "I'm too old for sweets, and my teeth always hurt. You can order, little sister."

Lu Ying was no longer acting like a little girl. Thinking of Lu Chuqing, she looked at the dessert section and said, "Then I'll order one for Qingqing."

While the adults were talking, the two children were playing nearby. Actually, Lu Linqi was playing with a Rubik's Cube, and Lu Chuqing, feeling bored, went over to watch, not paying attention to what they were saying.

However, Lu Ying had never eaten at such a fancy restaurant before. Looking at the fancy names in the dessert section, she couldn't guess what they were made of even after a long time. There were no pictures on the menu either. She glanced at a dish that looked quite appetizing, "Mango Pomelo Sago," and ticked it off.

After handing it back to Lu Hang, the man didn't look at it closely and handed it to the waiter.

They arrived a little early, and there weren't many dishes lined up ahead of them, so it didn't take long before several cold dishes were served one after another.

We're all family, so there's no need for formalities. Once the cold dishes were served, we started eating as soon as we turned the table around.

Then the hot dishes were served one after another, and the two elderly people kept complaining that there were too many dishes.

Lu Chuqing particularly likes a dry-pot goose wing dish; it's slightly spicy and numbing, with a touch of sweetness.

She was happily munching on a goose wing when the waiter brought out the final dessert.
