Chapter 221, Breathing the Air of Freedom

"That's right, being a mother is not easy." Li Yulan also felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, but this was the path she had to take, and no one could replace her.

"How many days of vacation do you have left? If you have enough, take the kids and Qianqian out to play. They have been very nervous these days and it's not easy for them all." Li Yulan expressed her thoughts.

Mao Jianwen really hadn't thought about this. After hearing what his mother said, he nodded and said, "Well, it's time to relax."

When the usual wake-up time arrived, the four children came out dressed neatly.

If I hadn't seen their tearful eyes, I would have thought they had woken up.

｜"Why did you get up so early? Why don't you get some more sleep?" Seeing the four of them sitting down at the dinner table, Li Yulan was filled with worry. "But what happened?"

You know, after the exam, it’s children’s holiday.

"Grandma." The four of them looked listless, and it was obvious that they had been exhausted during the past few days.

"Good boy, are you hungry?" Li Yulan's heart almost melted when she looked at her grandchildren.

"Hungry."

They were really hungry. They were used to eating at this time, so how could they not be hungry?

"Then have breakfast, and then go to sleep."

Looking at them like this, Mao Jianwen smiled and said, "The exams are all over, don't be too nervous. It doesn't matter whether the results are good or bad, as long as you have tried your best." He patted Pingping's shoulder and said.

"Oh, that's right." The four of them finally reacted, "Why should we get up so early when we have finished our exams? No, I want to go back and sleep for a while." After saying that, Pingping got up.

But Mao Jianwen stopped him and said, "Okay, you're already up, so have breakfast and then go to sleep." Sleeping on an empty stomach, this son is really careless.

After laughing twice, he sat down flatly.

"Where's my mom? Why can't I see her?" Halfway through the meal, Yuanyuan discovered that there was someone missing from the house, a very important person who usually surrounded them.

"Mom is very tired these days and is still sleeping. Don't disturb her." His wife has lost weight.

"Okay, we got it." The four children were all very sensible and of course they could see how hard their mother worked.

The four of them said they would go to sleep after eating, but who could sleep?

Start checking the answers in the study.

After evaluating themselves, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yuanyuan, with your grades, you can go to a very good university abroad."

Yuanyuan glanced at her second brother and saw reluctance in his eyes, so she smiled.

"Don't worry, second brother. The school I chose is the best one abroad. However, I still have to take the exam again. If I don't pass, I won't be able to get in."

Speaking of this, Yuanyuan also felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, she is a capable person.

What she wanted most was to apply to Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, but the exams there were too difficult and required drafts. However, she had no inspiration recently and could not draw what she wanted.

Since junior high school, Yuanyuan has been learning painting from several teachers.

Putting aside her achievements and reputation externally, she is considered a genius girl in her own circle.

Even so, she still felt a little lacking in confidence when facing Martin's test questions.

Fortunately, she has a second choice, which is the Royal Academy of Art in Country Y, which is said to be better than Martin.

But she didn't quite believe in the legends and valued strength more.

Of course, she was still happy to go and see it.

An An knows his sister's choice. He doesn't want to go abroad to study now. He wants to finish learning knowledge in China first. After college, he will choose to study abroad.

"Okay, it's not like you won't come back. Big brother, you're a man, don't cry." Because everyone was born on the same day, although there is a ranking, everyone wants to be the boss.

Now that they saw that the eldest brother's eyes were red, they all took the opportunity to fight him.

After fighting for a while, the four stopped.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Thinking of the separation in the future, several people began to feel sad.

Yuanyuan is a girl after all, so her defenses soon broke down, "Wow, I don't want to study abroad." When she thought about leaving her family and going to such a faraway place, where she might not see them once a year, Yuanyuan couldn't help crying.

The three of them looked at their sister and felt very sad.

Although they are noisy, they have a good relationship.

Tuan Tuan was closest to Yuan Yuan and patted her back gently, fearing that she would cry and choke.

"It's okay, you're smart, you can graduate early, so you can come back early," Tuantuan comforted.

He might not be able to return from the school he chose after entering it for a year.

When we grow up, we all have our own choices and lives.

We can no longer play together every day like we did when we were kids.

After An Qianqian got up and had her meal, she planned to come over to see the children. She was lazy in bed for a while, but unexpectedly, she heard the children's conversation when she came over.

As a mother, how can I feel good?

An Qianqian covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound and alarm them.

Mao Jianwen also felt very uncomfortable.

Help Qianqian leave here.

After returning to the living room, An Qianqian finally burst into tears.

Hearing her crying, Li Yulan and An's mother hurried over.

"What's wrong?" After all these years of being together, this is the first time I see Qianqian crying like this.

An Qianqian was crying so hard that she was out of breath. She had no chance to explain to them. Fortunately, Mao Jianwen was there to help them understand.

"Child, why are you crying? Children have grown up and will definitely leave the arms of their parents." After hearing the reason, Li Yulan smiled helplessly.

"When Jianwen went to join the army, I was just like you. I was afraid and worried about everything, but I gradually got used to it." Thinking about that time, Li Yulan felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, we all got through it.

Her son has made great progress.

Their whole family also enjoyed the good life.

"Mom." Mao Jianwen's voice choked up when his mother said this, "I'm sorry, and thank you and Dad."

"Silly child."

Only when you become a parent do you realize the kindness of your parents.

After crying for a while, An Qianqian calmed down.

"Mom, I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'm fine." She just felt a little sad when she heard what the children said.

She had been separated from her children many times, so she didn't feel sad. Besides, with their family status, they could still go to school and visit their children whenever they missed them.

"Okay, don't let the children hear it, or they will cry even louder than you." An's mother joked.

Mao Jianwen called his secretary and asked if there was anything going on recently. After finding out that there was nothing serious, he planned to take his family out for some fun.

Of course the old man was not willing to go with them.

But all the children followed out.

For example, Lele, for example, Xiaohao.

Lele’s vacation is not long, only five days, and then she will join the army to study.

This is the hard life in military school.

As for Xiaohao, he will be a sophomore soon and will have a lot of free time.

He will be busy only in his junior year, and he doesn't plan to waste time on himself in these two years.

The place chosen by Mao Jianwen was mainly Tuan Tuan because his school was out of town.
