Chapter 259 Nursery
the next day
When Gu Yihan woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Lu Huailin tiptoeing out with Hao Hao in his arms. She couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing his wife's laughter, Lu Huailin knew she was awake, so he turned around with Hao Hao in his arms.
He looked at her with a smile: "Wife, you woke up pretty early today!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glared at Lu Huailin and deliberately said sarcastically, "When have I ever not gotten up early?"
"Wife, it's six in the morning, not seven," Lu Huailin teased with a smile.
His wife gets up at 7 a.m. on weekdays, but on weekends, she wakes up before 10 a.m. and doesn't get out of bed.
"Let's go." Hao Hao couldn't wait any longer. He called out and gently patted Lu Huailin's cheek with his chubby little hand.
"Okay, let's go." Lu Huailin glanced at the clever Hao Hao.
Grandma Gu stood in the middle of the living room and was a little surprised to hear her granddaughter's voice, thinking that she, like herself, had suffered from insomnia last night.
"Xiao Han is awake?"
Seeing the worry on Grandma Gu's face, Lu Huailin smiled and said, "She's awake."
Carrying Hao Hao, I walked to Grandma Gu's side. Seeing the obvious shadows under her eyes, I couldn't help but ask with concern, "Grandma, did you not sleep well last night?"
Grandma Gu touched Hao Hao's little hand, her eyes full of reluctance. She looked up at Lu Huailin and nodded, saying, "He didn't sleep all night because of the cicadas' chirping."
"By the way, Xiaohan told you, I'm going to Gu Meng's house, right?"
"I told you." Lu Huailin carried Hao Hao in one arm and supported Grandma Gu's arm with the other as they walked toward the sofa.
After they both sat down, Lu Huailin said with a smile, "Grandma, you're just going to take care of her during childbirth, it's not like you're not coming back, is it?"
Lu Huailin always felt that since they were both Grandma Gu's granddaughters, there was nothing wrong with her taking care of both sides impartially.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu, remembering Gu Meng's nature, opened her mouth as if to say that Gu Meng wouldn't let her, this free laborer, leave so easily.
At this moment, Gu Yihan finished dressing and walked out of the bedroom.
Smiling, she said to Grandma Gu, "Grandma, you can go back to your family home anytime. Your granddaughter's house will always have a room reserved for you."
She had thought it through. Since Grandma Gu wanted to go, she would let her go. She knew Gu Meng's personality best.
It's impossible to support Grandma Gu for an extended period of time.
"Haohao, what are you planning to do?" Grandma Gu asked Gu Yihan with concern.
Gu Yihan smiled slightly at Grandma Gu and said, "Grandma, you don't need to worry about Hao Hao."
When you decided to go to Gu Meng's house, why didn't you think about what would happen to Hao Hao?
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu's face paled. She knew that although her granddaughter didn't say it, she was still blaming her.
Seeing this, Lu Huailin smiled and explained, "Grandma, Xiaohan and I have discussed it and decided to send Haohao to the nursery."
"Just drop them off at 6:30 in the morning and pick them up before 7:00 in the afternoon. The daycare also provides breakfast and lunch."
Grandma Gu smiled and nodded when she saw that everything was arranged.
Then, he murmured to himself, "Now I can go to Gu Meng's house without worry."
After breakfast
Gu Yihan greeted Grandma Gu and went with Lu Huailin to the military nursery to register Hao Hao.
On the way to the daycare, Gu Yihan clung tightly to Lu Huailin's clothes, repeatedly asking, "Won't Hao Hao be bullied if we send him to daycare when he's so young?"
"No, they are all children his age."
"What should we do if Hao Hao is bullied by the teacher? He's so young, he can only say a few simple words, and he can't complain if he's wronged."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin laughed out loud: "The teachers at the nursery school undergo a political background check before being hired."
"That……"
Seeing the worry on his wife's face, Lu Huailin interrupted her and changed the subject, saying, "Wife, let's have breakfast at the cafeteria from now on."
"Okay." Gu Yihan nodded absentmindedly.
She knew that Lu Huailin suggested eating in the cafeteria so that she could sleep in a little longer in the morning.
Ten minutes later
Military nursery
Zheng Hongxia looked at Lu Huailin and Gu Yihan with surprise, then smiled and said, "Commander Lu, what's going on?"
“Teacher Zheng, my son Hao Hao is one year old. I’m planning to send him to kindergarten to get some experience,” Lu Huailin said to Zheng Hongxia in a deep voice, his face expressionless.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongxia smiled, glanced at Hao Hao who was quietly nestled in Lu Huailin's arms, and said with a smile, "Okay."
"Our kindergarten charges 5 yuan per month, which guarantees that the children will eat healthily."
"Teacher Zheng, how many babies does one teacher look after?" Gu Yihan asked.
She wasn't worried about the food; the cooks belonged to the military, and they wouldn't dare to cut corners.
Gu Yihan was worried about the safety of the children at the daycare center, whether there were enough teachers, and whether each child could be taken care of in a timely manner.
Zheng Hongxia glanced at Gu Yihan and smiled slightly.
He began, "The nursery has 10 babies, one caregiver, one cook, and medical staff who make daily rounds."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan felt a slight sense of relief. She took out five yuan and handed it to Zheng Hongxia, saying with a smile, "Let's pay for one month's tuition first."
Zheng Hongxia smiled as she accepted the package, counted the contents in front of her, put it in the drawer, and then stood up with a smile.
He asked, "Is Hao Hao going to stay here today to get used to the environment?"
Lu Huailin glanced at Hao Hao, then turned to his wife beside him and asked, "Honey, should we let Hao Hao stay here today to get used to things?"
Seeing Hao Hao blinking his big, bewildered eyes and staring at her, Gu Yihan hesitated and whispered, "Isn't it too early?"
"Wife, why don't you quit your job at the textile factory and stay home to take care of Hao Hao?" Seeing that Gu Yihan was soft-hearted, Lu Huailin gave her a strong suggestion.
He knew his wife would never quit her job for the sake of the children.
"Alright. Let Hao Hao stay." Gu Yihan said through gritted teeth.
Seeing that Lu Huailin and his wife had made their arrangements, Zheng Hongxia led them into the classroom where Hao Hao was the same age and called out to the teacher who was reading picture books to the children, "Yan Xin."
Upon hearing Zheng Hongxia's voice, Yan Xin bowed her head, greeted the children in the classroom, and walked out with a smile: "Sister Zheng."
"This is Commander Lu. His son, Hao Hao, has been assigned to your class," Zheng Hongxia said with a smile.
Upon hearing that it was Commander Lu, Yan Xin turned around and immediately looked at Gu Yihan standing beside him. She smiled and walked over to her, taking her arm.
He said warmly, "Sister-in-law, please leave Hao Hao to me."
Gu Yihan was taken aback by Yan Xin's enthusiasm. She subconsciously pulled her arm back and said, "Thank you, Comrade Yan."
On the way home from the daycare, Gu Yihan couldn't help but ask, "Does Yan Xin know me?"
“I don’t know her. She should have heard Xiao He mention her.” Lu Huailin.
"He Shengli?" Gu Yihan turned her head and looked at Lu Huailin in surprise.
Lu Huailin nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Comrade Yan Su is Xiao He's girlfriend, and they have already met each other's parents."
"So, none of the things you're worried about, like Hao Hao being bullied, will happen."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin and said coldly, "So, you're deliberately trying to make a fool of me?"
Seeing that his wife's tone was off, Lu Huailin immediately shook his head, almost swearing to the heavens, and explained, "Wife, I just found out myself."
Gu Yihan turned her head, snorted coldly, and jogged past Lu Huailin back to the courtyard.
As soon as they pushed open the courtyard gate, they saw Grandma Gu already packed her things and sitting in the yard waiting for them.
